Abstract

This paper examines the philosophical, epistemological, and civilizational dimensions of Arabic grammar and its central role in shaping Islamic intellectual heritage. Moving beyond a purely technical study of syntax and morphology, it situates Arabic linguistic thought within a comprehensive civilizational framework, illustrating how grammar functions as an instrument of knowledge production, critical reasoning, and ethical reflection. Drawing on classical sources such as Sibawayh, al-Farabi, al-Jurjani, and Ibn Jinni, alongside modern scholarship on Orientalism and linguistics, the study highlights the intricate relationship between language, intellect, and revelation. Arabic grammar emerges not merely as a tool for correct speech but as a philosophical discipline reflecting epistemological rigor, logical coherence, and the resilience of Islamic civilization in the face of external critique. The analysis further demonstrates that mastery of grammar facilitates critical thinking, preserves textual integrity, and ensures the continuity of knowledge across generations. Overall, the findings suggest that the study of Arabic grammar is inseparable from the broader pursuit of intellectual, ethical, and cultural understanding within Islam.

Abstract

The article analyses the influence of Imam al-Ghazali’s (450-505/1058-1111) religious ideals in the Malay Basin particularly through his works Ihyā’ ‘Ulūm al-Dīn, Mi‘rāj al-Sālikīn, Bidāyah al-Hidāyah, Ma‘ārij al-Quds fī Madārij Ma‘rifat al-Nafs, al-Mustasfa and al-Madnun bihi ‘ala Ghayr Ahlih. The highly charged and popularity of his works come from various forms of its translated versions in the hand of Malay theologians working on its elucidation such as Sayr al-Sālikīn and Hidāyah al-Sālikīn by ‘Abd al-Samad al-Falimbani (1704-1789) and concise translation of Minhāj al-‘Ābidīn by Shaykh Daud al-Fatani. The paper situates his works in the wider context of Sunni-Islam held by the Malays and its burgeoning cultural and intellectual tradition, far-reaching intensity of activism and da‘wah and idealism widely disseminated in the regions. The study is based on qualitative method in the form of library and literature survey using inductive and deductive method. Data and materials were derived from selected primary and secondary sources and analysed by way of descriptive, analytical, empirical, hermeneutical and historical approaches. The finding reveals that the nuances of al-Ghazali’s corpus were well articulated in the Malay world developed through compelling theological and philosophical works that defend its significance values, norms, legality, ethics, metaphysics, logic and virtues and its classic synthesis of shariah and tasawuf and its spiritual illumination and articulation in the mozaic of contemporary Malay worldview and tradition.

Abstract

This study employs the theoretical framework of semanalysis to examine the interpretation of a Qur’anic verse concerning the phenomenon of rain. The research applies a methodological sequence that begins with the semanalytic approach, proceeds through an analysis of the concepts of genotext and phenotext, explores the distinction between signification and signification, and culminates in the investigation of intertextual relations within the text. The findings indicate that the meaning of rain in the Qur’an is dynamic and context-dependent, shaped by the interpreter’s engagement with its social, linguistic, and religious dimensions. Ultimately, rain is represented as both a manifestation of divine mercy and a symbolic admonition, urging humanity to contemplate the transcendence and omnipotence of Allah.

Abstract

The issue of caring for neglected children represents a civilizational challenge, as the quality of a nation is measured by how it treats children who have lost parental care. This requires a childcare system rooted in moral values, human rights, and sustainable social policies. The aim of this study is to examine the care of neglected children through three main perspectives: Islam, the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), and national as well as regional policies. The study employs a literature review method with a descriptive-analytical qualitative approach, analyzing texts and official documents such as the Qur’an, Hadith, national legislation, international conventions, national regulations, and recent academic studies. The findings reveal a convergence among the three perspectives, namely the recognition of children’s dignity, the protection of rights, and the emphasis on the best interests of the child. However, challenges remain, including institutional limitations, adaptation to digital disruption, and cultural contextual differences. This article concludes that integrating Islamic values, CRC principles, and national-regional policies is essential to developing a holistic, sustainable, and contextual childcare system for neglected children. The practical implications highlight the need to strengthen Child Welfare Institutions (LKSA), empower communities based on religious values, and harmonize regulations with child rights principles to ensure more effective protection of neglected children.

Abstract

Human imperfection has long been acknowledged in Islamic moral philosophy, yet its constructive potential in shaping legal-ethical innovation remains critically underexplored. This transformative process arises from the self-reflective nature of weakness itself, as the awareness of limitation compels intellectual introspection and moral creativity. Previous studies often treat moral deviation, conceptualized as ma‘ṣiyah (sin), solely as a theological failure rather than a generative moral energy. This study aims to reconceptualize human weakness not as a liability but as a catalyst for ethical and juridical creativity within the Islamic civilizational framework. This paper does not romanticize sin, but situates it within a theological framework of repentance and ethical renewal under divine guidance. Using a qualitative and integrative methodology that combines hermeneutic analysis of classical fiqh and akhlaq manuscripts with normative reflection on contemporary digital ethics, this research develops a multidimensional model bridging theology, ethics, and law, an analytical configuration rarely attempted in previous Islamic scholarship. The findings reveal a transformative dialectic: when moral failure is internalized through repentance (tawbah): when moral failure is internalized through repentance (tawbah) and an ethical form of critical reflection (ijtihād al-nafs), it produces renewed ethical consciousness and legal adaptability (tajdīd) responsive to social transformation. As articulated by al-Ghazālī in Kitāb al-Tawbah, repentance transforms error into a moral awakening that sustains intellectual and civilizational renewal. This paper contributes a new conceptual articulation of how Islamic ethical and legal systems transform human fallibility into a driver of intellectual vitality, digital ethics, and civilizational resilience, offering an alternative epistemological foundation for understanding innovation within Islamic heritage. In doing so, this study offers a dynamic and constructive re-evaluation of human weakness in the context of contemporary digital ethics.

Abstract

Social functioning is widely regarded as the central objective of social work practice, encompassing the ability of individuals, families, and communities to fulfill their social roles effectively within changing and complex environments. This article proposes a new theoretical construct called Islamic Spiritual Capability, which is presented as a foundational individual competency that provides an internal basis for achieving structured and sustainable social functioning. Through an integrative synthesis of Islamic behavioral theory, the concept of social functioning, and the capability approach, this study develops four dimensions of spiritual capability that can be operationalized within social work practice. These dimensions are further articulated into individual competency units that may serve as tools for assessment, professional training, and social intervention. Consequently, Islamic spiritual capability is positioned not only as an indicator of well-being but also as a learnable, measurable, and improvable core competency within a value-based and meaning-oriented framework for social development

Abstract

This study discusses the issue of household work from the perspective of the Quran through a gender analysis. Socially, Muslim societies tend to regard domestic work as the responsibility of women, while men are positioned in the public sphere. Such perceptions are largely influenced by patriarchal cultural constructions that also shape interpretations of Quranic verses concerning marital relations. Through a feminist tafsir approach, this study seeks to re-examine verses such as Q.S. An-Nisā’ [4]: 34, Q.S. At-Taubah [9]: 71, Q.S. Al-Baqarah [2]: 187, and Q.S. Ar-Rūm [30]: 21 to explore how the Quran explains the concepts of justice and reciprocity within family life. The findings indicate that the Quran never explicitly assigns household work as the obligation of women. On the contrary, it emphasizes the principles of musyārakah (partnership), mawaddah wa raḥmah (affection and mercy), and mubādalah (mutuality) as the foundation of marital relationships. Therefore, domestic work should be understood as a shared responsibility grounded in the values of justice, love, and mutual respect as taught by the Quran. The study aims to reinterpret Quranic verses often associated with male dominance, emphasizing instead their moral message of partnership and mutual responsibility.

Abstract

Qur’anic interpretation is a continuous scholarly endeavor to elucidate divine guidance in response to evolving social contexts through both classical and contemporary approaches. This study examines the interpretations of Q.S. An-Nisāʾ (4):3 by two prominent exegetes, Ibn Jarīr al-Ṭabarī in Jāmiʿ al-Bayān fī Taʾwīl al-Qurʾān and Abū Layth al-Samarqandī in Baḥr al-ʿUlūm, employing a tafsīr muqāran (comparative exegesis) method to identify similarities, differences, and underlying methodological orientations. The findings demonstrate that Ibn Jarīr al-Ṭabarī adopts a strong riwāyah-based approach, presenting extensive narrations from the Companions and Successors and emphasizing justice as the fundamental condition for marrying more than one woman. In contrast, Abū Layth al-Samarqandī prioritizes a practical fiqh-oriented perspective, offering concise and accessible explanations intended for broader audiences. Despite these methodological differences, both exegetes concur that the verse underscores the imperative to avoid injustice toward orphan girls due to their vulnerability, while simultaneously warning against injustice toward other women in marriage. This study affirms the significance of comparative Qur’anic interpretation in enriching contemporary discussions on polygamy by reaffirming justice as the core ethical principle underlying Islamic law.

Abstract

Contemporary fiqh muamalah represents a methodological extension of classical fiqh muamalah aimed at preserving the relevance of Islamic law in the face of modern social and economic transformations. Theoretically, contemporary fiqh muamalah functions as a normative system that integrates the primary sources of Islamic law namely the Qur’an, sunnah, ijmaʿ, and qiyas with evolving social, economic, and technological realities. This study seeks to examine the theoretical framework of contemporary fiqh muamalah, particularly the principle of permissibility and its normative constraints, in addressing modern transactional practices. Employing a qualitative approach through library research with descriptive-argumentative analysis, this study finds that the principle of permissibility (al-aṣl fī al-muʿāmalāt al-ibāḥah) constitutes the foundational maxim for assessing contemporary transactions, while remaining inherently bounded by axiomatic normative principles, including the prohibition of riba, gharar, tadlis, maysir, as well as unlawful products and invalid contracts. In relation to modern economic instruments such as cryptocurrency and venture capital, contemporary fiqh muamalah necessitates an evaluative and contextual approach rather than generalized legal judgments. Cryptocurrency must be assessed based on its function, mechanism, and intended use, whereas venture capital may be deemed compatible with Islamic legal principles when structured within equitable and transparent partnership-based contracts. This study recommends further research that incorporates empirical and interdisciplinary approaches to examine the practical application of contemporary fiqh muamalah principles in digital finance and modern investment models, thereby strengthening an adaptive and maslahah-oriented formulation of Islamic law.

Abstract

This article critically examines how disability is constructed through Qur’anic metaphors and mediated by contemporary Islamic interpretation, focusing on Wahbah az-Zuhaili’s Tafsir al-Munir. While Islamic discourse often emphasizes the Qur’an’s inclusivity toward persons with disabilities, such claims are frequently presented in normative and affirmative terms, leaving little room for critical engagement with the ethical implications of religious language. This study argues that the problem is not whether the Qur’an upholds human dignity, but how metaphorical uses of disability, such as blindness, deafness, and muteness, shape social perceptions and religious consciousness. Employing a thematic interpretation (tafsir maudhui) with a critical-analytical approach, this research analyzes key Qur’anic verses related to disability and examines how Tafsir al-Munir distinguishes between physical impairment and spiritual deficiency. The findings show that while az-Zuhaili consistently rejects theological stigmatization of physical disability, his interpretation largely reproduces classical metaphorical frameworks without sufficiently addressing their potential symbolic impact on contemporary disability ethics. This article contributes to Qur’anic studies by highlighting the ethical limits of moderate tafsir when confronting modern disability discourse. It proposes that Qur’anic inclusivity should not be understood merely as a moral assertion, but as an ongoing ethical project that requires critical evaluation of interpretive language and its social consequences.
