Abstract

This study addresses a pressing contemporary issue in Muslim communities: the ethical and jurisprudential dilemma surrounding the boycott of products linked to Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories. While such boycotts—endorsed by fatwas like MUI No. 83/2023—are framed as acts of economic solidarity, a critical concern arises when Muslims produce alternative goods that resemble boycotted items: does this constitute tasabbuh (imitation of non-Muslims), which is prohibited in several hadiths? The research aims to reinterpret the classical concept of tasabbuh within the framework of a “living hadith” approach, examining whether functional imitation—without intent to emulate beliefs or identity—violates Islamic norms. Using a qualitative methodology, the study combines textual analysis of primary hadith sources (including Sunan Abi Dawud, Sahih al-Bukhari, and Musnad Ahmad) with empirical observation of Muslim consumer behavior and fatwa discourse in Indonesia. Findings reveal that tasabbuh is primarily defined by intention (niyyah) and context, not mere formal similarity. When imitation serves a legitimate purpose—such as resisting injustice, ensuring economic self-reliance, or fulfilling communal welfare—it falls outside the scope of prohibited tasabbuh. This reinterpretation aligns with higher objectives of Islamic law (maqāṣid al-sharīʿah) and classical legal maxims (qawāʿid fiqhiyyah), particularly the principle that “matters are judged by their intentions.” The study’s novelty lies in bridging textual hermeneutics with real-world activism, offering a nuanced ethical framework for Muslim economic resistance. It is recommended that Islamic institutions and scholars issue clearer guidelines distinguishing between prohibited cultural imitation and permissible functional replication, especially in contexts of political and economic justice. Such clarity can empower Muslim communities to engage in ethical consumerism without compromising religious identity.

Abstract

This study analyzes the representation of environmental resilience in two modern Arabic novels—Hānī al-Rāhib's Al-Wabā' and Ḥannā Mīnah's al-Maṣābīḥ al-Zurq—by focusing the unit of analysis on narrative elements such as characters, settings, symbolic events, and ecological metaphors that describe the community's response to environmental pressures. The purpose of this research is to explore how the representation of literature can enhance the understanding of sustainability dynamics relevant to rural development. Using a qualitative-descriptive method, this study applies three analytical approaches: ecocriticism, environmental sociology, and the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework. The findings suggest that figures such as al-Shaikh and Sheikh Abdel Jawad represent a shift away from traditional agrarian values to new forms of adaptation shaped by political instability, resource scarcity, and changes in social structures. Both novels reveal patterns of vulnerability, resilience, and livelihood strategies that reflect real processes in dealing with environmental changes. The contribution of this research lies in the designation of the role of literary works as a medium that reflects ecological pressures, as well as a conceptual tool that can enrich cross-disciplinary discussions on sustainability and provide interpretive insights that complement empirical studies of rural development.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of movement in shaping spiritual transformation during the pilgrimage cycle of Kalpwasis at the Kumbh Mela, using them as the central unit of analysis. The research aims to examine how each stage of the journey—departing from home, engaging in ritual practices at the sacred site, and returning to everyday life—contributes to the spiritual awareness and long-term transformation of pilgrims. Employing a phenomenological qualitative approach, the study draws on in-depth interviews and open-ended questionnaires conducted with approximately 200 Kalpwasis who resided in the Kumbh Mela camp throughout the major bathing days of 2025. Data were analyzed thematically to identify recurring patterns of experience. Findings reveal that physical movement through sacred space, combined with ritual immersion and temporary withdrawal from worldly routines, fosters heightened spiritual discipline, emotional purification, and a renewed sense of identity. A significant insight of the study is the transformative impact of the return journey, where pilgrims integrate insights gained during Kalpwas into their everyday lives, reinforcing their commitment to spiritual growth. The study recommends further longitudinal and comparative research on post-pilgrimage reintegration and encourages a broader exploration of embodied movement within Indian pilgrimage traditions to deepen theoretical understanding of cyclical spiritual practices.

Abstract

This article examines talfeeq as a jurisprudential phenomenon in Sunni Islamic law, utilizing units of analysis that include classical fiqh texts, cross-sectarian legal arguments, and contemporary institutional practices carried out by international fiqh institutions. This study aims to analyze the legality of talfeeq, examine the differences in views between Sunni schools regarding its capabilities, and assess its relevance in addressing modern legal, social, and economic challenges. This research employs a qualitative doctrinal method, analyzing primary fiqh sources, the opinions of authoritative scholars, and the resolutions of contemporary fiqh institutions through comparative and thematic approaches. The study's findings show that the majority of classical scholars restrict the practice of talfeeq due to concerns about legal inconsistencies and the weakening of fiqh methodologies. However, some Maliki and Hanafi scholars allow it under certain conditions. In the contemporary context, talfeeq is increasingly accepted, especially within the framework of ijtihad jama'i, especially in the fields of Islamic finance, family law, and pluralistic legal systems. This article contributes by offering a systematic comparative analysis of classical debate and modern practice, clarifying the methodological limits of talfeeq, and positioning it as an instrument for the legitimate adaptation of Islamic law when applied in a measured manner and based on maqāṣid al-sharī'ah.

Abstract

This study makes family crisis management in Muslim families in the Northwestern region of Nigeria a tangible subject, with an emphasis on integrating Islamic principles and modern counseling approaches. The objectives of this study are to identify the primary causes of family crisis, examine relevant Islamic teachings on family conflict resolution, analyze contemporary approaches to managing family crises, and assess the effectiveness of integrated models that combine spiritual, moral, and psychological dimensions. This study uses a descriptive qualitative design with purposive sampling techniques involving Muslim couples, scholars, family counselors, and social workers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), and document analysis, then analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The study's results indicate that family crises are often triggered by economic pressure, communication failures, and a lack of understanding of marital responsibilities. Islamic principles, such as sabr (patience), shura (consultation), and rahmah (compassion), have proven crucial in defusing conflicts and fostering family harmony. Modern approaches, particularly cognitive-behavioral therapy and structured family counseling, can help improve communication and emotional management. This research contributes by offering a culturally sensitive, integrative model that links Islamic ethics and modern psychology, providing practical implications for family counselors, religious institutions, and policymakers in strengthening the resilience of Muslim families.

Abstract

This study critically reassesses Abraham Geiger's 19th-century hypothesis, which posited that the Qur'an largely borrows from rabbinic texts, through the lens of contemporary Qur'anic intertextuality and late antique studies. Drawing on Geiger's Judaism and Islam as its primary unit of analysis, alongside the Qur'anic text and early rabbinic literature, the article seeks to reposition his influential but methodologically flawed thesis within modern scholarly frameworks. Employing a historical-hermeneutic and intertextual methodology, the analysis moves beyond Geiger's reductionist "borrowing” paradigm. Key findings reveal that while Geiger's work retains heuristic value in identifying narrative parallels, it suffers from critical weaknesses: an overreliance on written-text assumptions, Orientalist bias, and a neglect of the oral cultural context of the Hijaz. The study's novelty lies in reconceptualizing these parallels not as evidence of direct dependency, but as manifestations of a dynamic shared narrative network within the late antique religious milieu. In this network, the Qur'an emerges as a creative, dialogical agent that engages, corrects, and innovates upon existing monotheistic traditions. The article contributes to Qur'anic studies by offering a historiographic critique of Orientalist methodology and by proposing a more nuanced, context-sensitive model for understanding early Islamic engagement with Jewish and Christian narratives. It recommends future multidisciplinary research integrating philology, oral anthropology, and socio-political analysis of pre-Islamic Arabia.
