Abstract

The relationship between the text and its context in the term Milku Al-Yamīn is often understood differences and shifts in meaning from classical to contemporary times, which are inseparable from social factors and thus influence as a form of ownership of slaves or prisoners of war in pre-Islamic Arab society. However, this interpretation often causes debate when confronted with modern human values. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature study and thematic interpretation (maudhū‘i) method, combined with socio-historical analysis and contextual hermeneutics. The results show that the textual understanding of Milku Al-Yamīn in the Qur'an cannot be separated from the social and cultural context of the society when the verses were revealed. The Qur'an does not directly legalize slavery, but takes an evolutionary path by emphasizing liberation, justice, and respect for human dignity. In the modern context, scholars believe that Milku Al-Yamīn needs to be reinterpreted as a symbol of social transformation towards the elimination of oppression and inequality. Thus, through a reading that takes into account both the text and context, Milku Al-Yamīn is understood not as a legitimization of slavery, but as part of the moral and humanitarian process promoted by the Qur'an.

Abstract

This article examines Johann Wilhelm Fück's view of the Qur'an through a philological-historical framework and evaluates its relevance for contemporary Qur'anic studies. The study focuses on how Fück positioned Arabic, the history of European Arabism, and linguistic evidence as entry points for reading the Qur'anic text. This research employs library research with content analysis of Fück's works and recent scholarship on Qur'anic philology, early manuscripts, hermeneutics, and tafsir studies. The findings show that Fück's contribution lies in his affirmation of Arabic philology as an essential discipline in Qur'anic studies, while his approach must be read critically because it emerged from European Orientalism with epistemological assumptions different from those of the Islamic exegetical tradition. The study also finds that developments in paleography, codicology, digital philology, and Indonesian tafsir studies make it possible to reread Fück's legacy in a more balanced way. The article concludes that Fück's ideas can be used as methodological tools, not as a single authority, to strengthen academic dialogue among philology, history, and ulum al-Qur'an.

Abstract

General elections, political campaigns, and money politics are central issues incontemporary politics, as they significantly affect regime legitimacy, politicalparticipation, and governance integrity. This study examines the Qur’anicperspective on these three concepts and analyzes their relevance to contemporarypolitical practices. Using a thematic quranic interpretation approach, the researchsystematically analyzes relevant Qur’anic verses to construct a normative ethicalframework. The findings reveal that the Qur’an conceptualizes elections as anideal mechanism for leadership selection, emphasizing sincerity, merit, and theprevention of corruption. Political campaigns are considered permissible insofaras they remain consistent with Islamic moral values, as illustrated by the narrativeof Prophet Joseph (peace be upon him), who assumed public office based oncompetence, and the account of Prophet Shuʿayb’s daughter recommendingMoses, reflecting ethical advocacy. In contrast, political money is identified as aserious ethical violation that undermines public morality, justice, and social trust.This study contributes to strengthening the literature on Islamic political ethicsby presenting an integrated Qur’anic vision. This perspective offers a normativeframework for addressing contemporary political challenges—particularly theinfluence of money politics and unregulated campaign financing—through thereinforcement of transparency, justice, and equal opportunities amongcandidates.

Abstract

The discourse on religious polemics between modernist and traditionalist Muslims in Java has received more attention sociologically-anthropologically as well as in the discourse on Islamic thought in general. This study will investigate the religious polemic in the tafsir genre work, Tāj al-Muslimīn by KH. Misbah Mustofa (1919-1994), an interpreter who intensely involved himself in the discourse. Using critical discourse analysis, this study underlines that the Qur’anic exegesis was written in the midst of a fairly intense debate between modernists vis a vis traditionalist in the late 20th century in Java. The study also found that despite his traditional Javanese Muslim background, Misbach Mustofa was not only critical of the claims brought by modernists on issues such as ahlussunnah wa al-jama'ah, ijtihad and taklid and grave pilgrimage, but to some extent also sometimes critical of religious traditions and practices among traditional Muslims themselves. This attitude, for example, is shown in looking at the practices of Sufism and tariqat that are considered excessive. Misbach also likes to refer to the works of Ibn Taymiyah and Rashid Rida, which usually tend to be shunned among traditional Muslims in Java. He not only polemized with modernist figures but also with his own colleagues in traditional Muslims. This study contributes to showing the dynamics of modernist and traditional polemics even within its own internal circle. Furthermore, this study proposes a new typology in the discourse between modernist and traditional Muslims in Indonesia, namely traditionalist-puritan.

Abstract

Amid rapid socio-cultural change, the sustainability of Qur’anic memorization beyond pesantren walls remains a critical yet underexplored issue in Living Qur’an studies. This research aims to examine how structural systems shape memorization practices, how actors construct the meaning of Living Qur’an, and how structure–agency contestation emerges in post-pesantren contexts. Employing a qualitative phenomenological design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with students, alumni, and teachers, and analyzed using thematic coding and comparative matrix analysis to identify essential patterns. Findings reveal a direct relationship between institutional structure (scheduled muroja’ah, sima’an partnership, layered evaluation) and the stability of memorization practices within the pesantren. However, an indirect effect occurs when a strong structural dependency weakens self-regulation, resulting in diminished continuity after graduation. The rhetoric–practice gap further shows that “living” the Qur’an is frequently reduced to ritual preservation rather than ethical transformation. Implications highlight the need for transition-oriented pedagogy that gradually shifts external control toward autonomous agency without overstating rejected assumptions about structural rigidity. The study contributes theoretically by advancing an ecological-structurational framework, integrating Bourdieu’s habitus and Giddens’ structuration theory to reconceptualize Living Qur’an as a dynamic interaction between system and actor.

Abstract

This article examines Qur’anic narrative verses that contain similar dialogue formulations in order to clarify historical values often neglected in a literary reading of Qur’anic stories. The main data are QS al-Baqarah: 126 and QS Ibrahim: 35 on Abraham’s supplication, QS al-Baqarah: 35 and QS al-A‘raf: 19 on the command addressed to Adam, QS al-Baqarah: 58 and QS al-A‘raf: 161 on the command addressed to the Children of Israel, and QS Hud: 27 and QS al-Mu’minun: 24 on the dialogue of Noah’s people. This library-based study employs a syntactic approach. The analytical tools include i‘rab, subject-predicate and object relations, indefiniteness and definiteness, the semantic functions of the coordinators wa and fa, demonstratives, pronouns, addressees, and the relationship between sentence structure and the verse context. The findings show that similar dialogue does not necessarily refer to one identical event. Small syntactic differences may indicate different chronological positions, speakers, addressees, and historical contexts. This article criticizes the limitation of Muhammad Ahmad Khalafallah’s literary approach, which tends to prioritize aesthetic and moral functions over historical consideration. The study contributes to Qur’anic interpretation by showing that grammatical analysis can refine the understanding of narrative verses, especially when a purely historical approach faces difficulty in dealing with verses that appear textually similar.

Abstract

The geopolitical conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States reflects an asymmetric power relation shaped by military, ideological, and theological claims. The main problem this study addresses is how to interpret the Qur’an thematically to understand global conflict without falling into partisan reductionism. This study is important because the Qur’anic concepts of mustadh‘afīn and mustakbirīn are frequently invoked in contemporary political discourse, yet they require critical exegetical examination. This research aims to analyze the concepts of mustadh‘afīn and mustakbirīn in the Qur’an and relate them to the triangular geopolitical conflict among Iran, Israel, and the United States. It employs a qualitative library research method by combining tafsir maudhu‘i, Fazlur Rahman’s double movement hermeneutics, and critical discourse analysis. The findings show that mustadh‘afīn and mustakbirīn are not merely historical categories, but transhistorical typologies for examining asymmetric power structures. The Qur’anic narrative of Pharaoh serves as an archetype of the mustakbir, remaining relevant for analyzing contemporary global hegemony, political expansionism, and the instrumentalization of Qur’anic terminology for political legitimacy. The study also finds that the Qur’anic ethics of resistance are grounded in justice, proportionality, protection of life, and liberation, rather than sectarian violence. This research contributes to the development of contextual thematic exegesis and offers an ethical framework, grounded in maqāshid al-sharī‘ah, for contemporary Islamic diplomacy oriented toward global justice and humanitarian solidarity.

Abstract

This research examines the critique of polygamy mentors to interpretations of the verse on polygamy in Islam that are rampant on social media, especially through polygamy mentoring programmes. Polygamy mentors such as Hafidhin and Riski Ramdhani interpret QS. Al-Nisa and 34 as legitimate to practice polygamy, without considering aspects of gender justice. The narrative they build leads to the glorification of polygamy as a sharia that is worthy of worship, with minimal attention to the social and psychological impacts on women. This study uses a critical approach and gender hermeneutics to analyse how polygamy mentor interpretations are used as ideological tools in reproducing gender inequality. Through analysis of their interviews and podcasts, it was found that their paradigm of thought positions women as objects that must be designed to accept polygamy, with a doctrine that limits women's rights and freedoms. The results show that polygamy mentor interpretations of polygamy have shifted from their original purpose in the Quran, as a solution to certain social problems, to an instrument of domination that ignores the principles of equality and justice. Criticism of this understanding asserts that the verse on polygamy does not mean an absolute recommendation, but as a form of regulation of existing practices in society at that time. Therefore, a more contextual and equitable reinterpretation is needed so that the interpretation of polygamy is not used as a tool to perpetuate gender inequality.
