Abstract

This study analyzes the relevance between the concepts of self-esteem and gratitude from the perspective of hadith, with a focus on the hadith narrated by Sunan al-Tirmidhī No. 2034. This hadith is examined through a combined approach of isnād (chain of narrators) and matn (text) criticism and psychological analysis based on Morris Rosenberg’s self-esteem theory. In terms of sanad, the hadith was initially classified as ḍa‘īf, but its quality was upgraded to ḥasan li-ghayrih due to reinforcement from the narration of Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī. In terms of matn, the hadith is considered sahih because it does not contradict the Qur’an, other stronger hadiths, or common sense. Field studies were conducted through interviews with five informants and measurements using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE), which showed that individuals with high self-esteem tend to show gratitude, self-acceptance, and optimism. Conversely, individuals with low self-esteem showed symptoms of self-rejection and dissatisfaction, which can be interpreted as a form of ingratitude. These findings confirm that gratitude is a spiritual expression and plays an important role in forming a healthy self-image. Therefore, integrating prophetic values in hadith with a contemporary psychological approach can strengthen individuals’ psychological well-being amid the challenges of modern life.

Abstract

The issue of identity politics frequently causes controversy and societal conflict, which often results in polarization and social fragmentation. This study seeks to analyze Hamka’s perspective on identity politics through a close examination of his Qur’anic exegesis, with particular attention to the ideological construction embedded in his interpretation. The primary source of analysis is Tafsir al-Azhar, a work written by Hamka’s role not only as a religious scholar but also as a prominent social and political activist whose interpretive approach is marked by strong political undertones. The study focuses on Hamka’s interpretation of key Qur’anic passages related to identity politics, specifically Surah al-Rūm [30]: 1–7, Surah al-Baqarah [2]: 142–143, and Surah al-Mā’idah [5]: 51. By using critical discourse analysis and historical-literary framework, the research reveals that Hamka emphasizes the necessity of identity politics as a means of affirming Islamic solidarity and loyalty. His interpretation reflects the political climate of his time, particularly his resistance to government policies which links to the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI), and is significantly shaped by the context of his imprisonment during the New Order regime.

Abstract

This article aims to examine the dimensions of maqāṣid-based interpretation in the thought of Hasyim Asy’ari. Despite his prominence in Indonesian Islamic scholarship, Hasyim Asy’ari has seldom been examined through the lens of Qur’anic hermeneutics. Yet, his writings frequently cite Qur’anic verses to substantiate and legitimize his intellectual positions. This study addresses two central questions, namely, how Hasyim Asy‘ari uses and interprets the Qur’an as articulated in his books Ādāb al-‘Ālim wa al-Muta‘allim and Al-Tibyān fī al-Nahy ‘an Muqāṭa‘ati al-Arḥām wa al-Aqārib wa al-Ikhwān, and how the maqāṣidī dimensions are reflected in both works. By using textual analysis, the study reveals two important points. First, Hasyim Asy‘ari’s interpretive framework aligns with the maqāṣidī-based approach, wherein the Qur’anic verses are interpreted to substantiate specific religious positions. However, his method reflects elements of thematic exegesis (mauḍū‘ī), while in terms of sources and interpretive orientation, his approach can be classified as reason-based interpretation (tafsīr bi al-ra’y), exhibiting an adabī-ijtimā‘ī style that emphasizes socio-ethical dimensions. Second, with regard to the discernible dimensions of maqāṣidī, Hasyim Asy‘ari’s Qur’anic interpretation resonates with the broader objectives of Islamic law, particularly the values of al-‘adālah (justice), al-ḥurrīyah (freedom), al-mas’ūlīyah (responsibility), and al-insānīyah (human dignity).

Abstract

The study of the Qur’anic verses revealed in a certain historical context (asbāb al-nuzūl) is often trapped in a textual approach that limits the meaning of the verse only to the background of the event. As a result, the potential for transformation of meaning and ethical messages that are relevant to the contemporary socio-religious context is neglected. One of the verses that is frequently interpreted in a narrow sense is QS. al-Tawbah [9]:6, which was revealed in the context of protection against the polytheists, so that they could hear the word of God. This study aims to review the verse through Abdullah Saeed’s contextual interpretation approach, by exploring its linguistic dimensions, socio-historical context, and potential moral and ethical messages in the reality of religious pluralism today. This study found that the verse implies an opportunity for da‘wā in religious plurality. This is based on the meaning of istajāra which not only means protection, but also points to closeness and peaceful coexistence; mushrikīn can be understood as a representation of adherents of other religions; and kalām Allāh includes all Islamic teachings, not limited to the literal Qur’an. This finding confirms that contextual reading allows the actualization of the inclusive values of the Qur’an as an ethical basis in building interfaith relations in a multicultural society.
Rereading Surah al-Nisa’ [4]: 34: Muḥammad Ḥusayn Faḍl Allāh’s Contextual Approach to Gender Equality in Islam Yuwafi, AH. Syukron; Ghorbanali Karimzadeh Gharamaleki

Abstract

The discourse on gender equality in Islam often sparks theological debates, particularly regarding the interpretation of Surah al-Nisā’ [4]: 34, which is frequently used to justify male superiority over women. This article critically examines Muḥammad Ḥusayn Faḍl Allāh’s (1935–2010) interpretation of this verse in his Tafsīr min Waḥy al-Qur’ān. The study addresses two questions: how Faḍl Allāh interprets qiwāmah, and how his thinking on gender equality is constructed. Using a qualitative approach with literature review, the study finds that Faḍl Allāh interprets qiwāmah contextually and functionally within husband-wife relations, rather than as a justification for male dominance. The construction of his thought that is based on historical-conceptual interpretation, leads to the concept of substantive justice and moral responsibility. Faḍl Allāh’s rejection of interpretations that justify violence or the subjugation of women is unequivocal, and he positions gender equality as the paramount ethical ideal of Islam, placing significant emphasis on the well-being of families and society as a whole. This finding shows the urgency of a progressive and responsive interpretive approach to gender issues, especially in the context of rereading religious texts.
