Abstract

Social media has become a dominant medium for communication and information exchange in contemporary societies, significantly influencing religious discourse and practice. In the context of Islam, social media platforms have emerged as important tools for Dacwah (Islamic propagation), enabling scholars and preachers to reach diverse audiences across geographical and cultural boundaries. This study examines the merits of the use of social media for Dacwah activities, with particular attention to its role as a source of Islamic knowledge, its wide audience coverage, its contribution to the protection of Muslim rights, its effectiveness in clarifying misconceptions about Islam, its use in fundraising for humanitarian causes, and its facilitation of marriage matchmaking in line with Islamic principles. The study adopts a qualitative research design based on an extensive review and content analysis of relevant scholarly literature, journal articles, books, and credible online sources. Findings reveal that social media enhances access to Islamic knowledge, strengthens engagement between scholars and followers, counters negative stereotypes about Islam, supports charitable initiatives, and provides alternative platforms for lawful matrimonial connections. The study concludes that social media, when responsibly and ethically utilized, offers significant opportunities for effective Dacwah in the modern age. It therefore recommends that qualified Muslim scholars intensify their engagement with social media platforms to promote authentic Islamic teachings and positively influence global perceptions of Islam.

Abstract

This study examines Sūrat Yūsuf (Qur'an 12) as a divinely orchestrated dramatic narrative that transforms reading into participatory spiritual experience. Integrating Reader‑Response Criticism with Sayyid Qutb’s concept of al‑taṣwīr al‑fannī (artistic depiction), it demonstrates how dramatic form—dialogue, suspense, irony, and symbolic staging—facilitates the surah’s pedagogical and spiritual function. Using Aristotelian principles of catharsis, peripeteia (reversal), and anagnorisis (recognition), the paper argues that the surah’s aesthetics are inseparable from its revelatory purpose: to awaken moral consciousness through active engagement. Sūrat Yūsuf thus functions not merely as a sacred narrative but as a divine script performed within the believer’s consciousness—an ongoing enactment of revelation that unites aesthetic pleasure with spiritual transformation.

Abstract

This article examines an important linguistic topic closely tied to the understanding of the Qur’an: the phenomenon known as al-wujūh wa al naẓāʾir, or linguistic homonyms and their various semantic counterparts, and how they shape Qur’anic meanings. The importance of this study lies in the sensitivity of the topic especially for those involved in interpreting the Qur’an or translating its meanings since legal rulings and interpretive nuances often depend on such linguistic distinctions. To reach its conclusions, the researchers employed both inductive and applied methods They reviewed the major classical works that discuss wujūh and naẓāʾir, highlighted several examples, and applied this analysis to a specific Qur’anic term: “ḍaraba” (ضَرَبَ). The article ends with key findings and recommendations, one of which is that the study of wujūh and naẓāʾir is essential for students of Sharia and Arabic particularly mosque imams who are responsible for explaining the Qur’an This field is also a testament to the linguistic miracle of the Qur’an and reveals its profound eloquence The authors recommend that universities include this subject in their academic programs so that students can benefit from in.

Abstract

In a time marked by widespread geopolitical instability, global humanitarian crises, and shared emotional exhaustion, the Qur’an still offers deep moral and psychological insights into fostering hope (rajāʾ) and resilience (ṣabr). This paper explores how Qur’anic teachings, rooted in faith (tawakkul) and compassion (raḥmah), create a spiritual framework for facing challenges with moral strength and transformative endurance. Through theological reflection and analysis of key Qur’anic stories, especially those of the Prophetsprophets Yusuf (Joseph), Musa (Moses), and Muhammad (peace be upon him), the study shows how divine trials act as triggers for ethical growth, emotional renewal,and prophetsrenewal, andspiritual upliftment. In response to ongoing humanitarian issues like the crisis in Gaza, this paper connects the Qur’an’s guidance to a modern ethical view that links patience and perseverance with justice (ʿadl) and social responsibility. It argues that the Qur’an sees suffering not as divine punishment but as a chance for self-reflection, spiritual growth, and community support. By combining Qur’anic interpretation with modern views on psychological resilience and trauma recovery, the study illustrates how Qur’anic ethics can guide faith-based responses to global crises, restoring meaning, empathy, and inner balance in a troubled world. Ultimately, the paper emphasizes the Qur’an’s lasting message to confront despair with faith, injustice with compassion, and uncertainty with strong hope positioning Islamic spirituality as both a moral guide and a source of psychological resilience today.

Abstract

The perpetual researching about Allāh’s works and His signs through the entire phenomenon on earth would continue to make man realize the divine nature of the Qur’ān, as the greatest sign of Allāh on earth. Nothing has been left unexplained in it pertaining to living and non-living things which made some Muslim exegetes dabbled in to the interpretation of some verses of the Qur’ān relating to scientific issues including embryology which is the focal point of this paper. Thus, an exposition of Aṭ-Ṭabarī on embryogenesis in Tafsīr Jāmicu-l-Bayān is the aim of this paper with a view to juxtaposing Tafsīr with scientific discussion. In achieving this, historical, descriptive and analytical methods of research are adopted. Historical method assists in accounting for the biography of Imām Aṭ-Ṭabarī and his Tafsīr. Descriptive method is helpful in explaining the scientific discussion on embryology. The analytical method is useful in analyzing the views of Aṭ-Ṭabarī in relation to scientific views. It is however expatiated the journey of human’s germination in the womb, and also elaborates fetus development and its metamorphosis in the position of conception, that covered the stages of pregnancy. The findings of this paper reveal that the Tafsīr work of Aṭ-Ṭabarī contains some scientific views which can be studied in juxtaposition with modern sciences. The study concluded by encouraging more research through the verses of the Qur’ān to further technology discoveries in the contemporary life. Therefore, the Tafsīr work is suggested for further research on biological matters

Abstract

تنبع أهمية هذا البحث من كونه يتناول منهجَ المحدّثين في نقد الروايات النبوية بوصفه الضمانَ العلميَّ لصيانة السُّنّة، ومن ثمّ ترشيدَ الاستدلال الشرعي وحمايةَ الدين من الدخيل والوهم، في سياقٍ تاريخي عرف اتساعَ الرواية ووقوعَ الفتن وتجرّؤ بعض الناس على الكذب أو الخطأ في النقل. ويهدف البحث إلى بيان البنية المنهجية الكلية التي اعتمدها النقاد في الحكم على الأخبار، وإيضاح أدواتها المركزية، وإبراز منطقها التطبيقي بما يرسّخ لدى الباحث "مَلَكَة النقد" بدل الاكتفاء بالعرض النظري. وتتحدد إشكاليته في السؤال: كيف تشكّلَت معاييرُ الحكم على الحديث قبولًا وردًّا عند المحدّثين؟ وما الآليات النقدية التي تضمن سلامة الإسناد والمتن؟ وكيف تُفعَّل عمليًا عند التعارض والتفرد والزيادات؟ واعتمدت الدراسة منهجًا استقرائيًا تحليليًا مقارنًا، قوامُه جمعُ الطرق وتتبعُ اختلاف الروايات، وتحليلُ معايير النقد، ثم الموازنةُ والترجيحُ في ضوء القرائن، مع الاختتام بنموذجٍ تطبيقي لاختبار زيادةٍ تفرد بها راوٍ. وتوصل البحث إلى نتائج؛ أبرزها أن نقدَ المحدّثين منظومةٌ معيارية متكاملة؛ لا إجراءاتٌ متفرقة؛ وأن الحكم على الحديث لا يُبنى على ظاهر السند وحده، بل على شبكةٍ من الاعتبارات تشمل اتصال السند، وعدالة الرواة، وضبطهم واستمراره، وسلامة الخبر من الشذوذ والعلة؛ وأن "ثقة الراوي" لا تعني عصمته من الخطأ. لذا، كانت المقارنة وجمع الطرق أساسًا لكشف الأوهام والعلل الخفية. كما يبيّن التطبيق أن منهج الترجيح يعتمد قرائن قابلة للتتبع، مما يجعل النقد الحديثي نموذجًا راسخًا لثقافة التحقق العلمي في التراث الإسلامي

Abstract

تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى بيان منهج ابن فودي والإمام البغوي – رحمهما الله – في تفسير القرآن الكريم، والكشف عن قيمة إسهاماتهما في إثراء المكتبة الإسلامية في مجال علوم القرآن والتفسير. وقد أظهرت الدراسة أن كليهما اعتمد على التفسير بالمأثور من القرآن والسنة وأقوال الصحابة والتابعين.كما اهتم ابن فودي بذكر القراءات القرآنية وتوجيهها، والاستعانة باللغة والنحو لتوضيح المعاني، مع عناية بآيات العقيدة والأحكام وفق المذاهب الفقهية، مع قلة اعتماده على الروايات الإسرائيلية. أما البغوي فتميّز بالإيجاز والاعتماد على المأثور، وبيان معاني الآيات والقراءات المختلفة، مع توضيح مسائل العقيدة على منهج أهل السنة والجماعة، وذكر أقوال الفقهاء في آيات الأحكام باختصار، مع تجنب الإسرائيليات والبدع.

Abstract

This study examines the celebration of Mother's Day from the perspective of Islamic creed (ʿaqīdah) within the context of cultural globalization and the rapid development of modern social media. Today, Mother's Day has evolved not only as a cultural expression of appreciation for mothers but also as part of the dissemination of Western culture through the media, entertainment, and digital platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. The research problem arises from the tendency of some Muslims to accept the celebration as a culturally neutral practice without critically examining its historical background, the elements of tashabbuh (imitation of non-Islamic practices), and its implications for Muslim identity and the preservation of Islamic creed. This study adopts a qualitative approach through library research and critical analysis of primary and secondary sources, including the Qur'an, hadith, classical Islamic texts (turāth), the works of contemporary Muslim scholars, and academic literature on Western culture and globalization. The objective of this study is to analyze the celebration of Mother's Day from the perspective of Islamic creed by examining the elements of tashabbuh, the influence of Western culture, and its implications for Muslim identity in the era of digital globalization. The findings reveal that Islam places great emphasis on honoring mothers through the concept of birr al-wālidayn (kindness and dutifulness toward one's parents). However, the modern celebration of Mother's Day is associated with the spread of Western culture and the process of normalizing foreign cultural practices within Muslim societies. The study further finds that social media plays a significant role in expanding the acceptance of this cultural practice, resulting in many individuals paying insufficient attention to its cultural and theological implications. In conclusion, Muslims should possess a clear understanding of the distinction between honoring mothers in the manner prescribed by Islam and imitating external cultural practices, so that the preservation of Islamic creed and Muslim identity can be maintained in the face of the challenges posed by contemporary globalization.

Abstract

This study aims to uncover the symbolic meaning of the apocalypse (Qiyāmah) in the Qur’an through the semiotic approach of Roland Barthes, and to reflect on its relevance to the concept of ḥubb al-dunyā (love of the worldly life). The research focuses on four Qur’anic chapters: Al-Wāqi‘ah, Al-Ḥāqqah, Al-Qiyāmah, and Al-Qāri‘ah. The method employed is a two-stage semiotic analysis (denotation-connotation), as well as myth as an ideological discourse. The findings reveal that the symbols of the apocalypse are not merely eschatological in nature, but also contain moral and social messages that resist the hegemony of materialism. Thus, the meaning of the apocalypse in the Qur’an serves as a deconstructive instrument against the mindset of ḥubb al-dunyā, which neglects spiritual and eternal values.

Abstract

This abstract presents a comprehensive analysis of QS. An-Nisā’ [4]:3 regarding polygamy through the framework of al-manṭūq and al-mafhūm, aiming to understand both the explicit and implicit meanings of the verse and to synthesize them into a holistic understanding that is socially and ethically relevant. The study employs a qualitative approach using library research, examining classical and contemporary tafsīr, uṣūl al-fiqh literature, and scholarly articles on polygamy and justice, through thematic analysis that situates the verse within its socio-historical context and the objectives of sharī‘ah (maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah). The findings indicate that al-manṭūq provides limited permission for polygamy of up to four wives under the condition of justice, while al-mafhūm emphasizes material, emotional, and social dimensions of justice, making monogamy often the more appropriate choice, with polygamy serving as a conditional allowance in specific social circumstances, such as protection of orphans and widows. The application of the principle of al-manṭūq wa al-mafhūm demonstrates that Islamic law integrates legal certainty with ethical responsibility, emphasizing justice, welfare, and harm prevention. This study contributes to tafsīr scholarship by highlighting the importance of a holistic analysis of the verse, reducing narrow interpretations and misuse, and providing a balanced, ethical, and contextually relevant perspective on Islamic law for modern society.
