Abstract

T he increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in Qur’anic studies has raised concerns about the reliability and epistemic authority of interpretations generated by AI. This study examines the issue of interpretive accuracy by evaluating how ChatGPT responds when explicitly asked to interpret verses based on Taf sīr al-Qurṭūbī . This study focuses on Surah al-Mā’idah [5]: 106–108, which discusses legal testimony, a theme rich in fiqh details. This study aims to assess whether ChatGPT accurately reflects al-Qurṭūbī’s exegetical thought or merely produces a general summary. Using qualitative methods, including literature review and comparative text analysis, ChatGPT’s responses were systematically compared with the original Arabic text of al-Qurṭūbī’s tafsīr . The results reveal significant gaps: ChatGPT frequently overlooks crucial legal arguments, misrepresents theological nuances, and fails to reproduce the distinctive interpretive structure of classical tafsīr . These limitations stem from the model’s inability to access verified exegesis corpora and its inadequate contextual understanding. Nevertheless, this study acknowledges the potential of ChatGPT in an educational context and provides accurate sources and ethical guidelines to support it. The research concludes that AI can assist in interpreting the Qur’an in a digital context, but it should not replace traditional scholarly authority.

Abstract

This paper examines the phenomenon of Quranic interpretation by prominent female figures, which typically addresses issues of misogyny in Islam. It considers the hermeneutical approaches of Amina Wadud, Asma Barlas, and Leila Ahmed as representative examples of this phenomenon. In contrast to these other figures, Midwife Amel not only interprets Quranic verses but also links them with contemporary scientific discoveries in order to preserve Quranic values in understanding the natural disposition (fitrah) of women in a modern context. This study employs a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis of Unlogic Birth, a book authored by Midwife Amel, as well as the Instagram account @klinikcikalmulia. John F. Haught's typology theory is employed to categorize Amel's perspectives on the relationship between Quranic verses and scientific discoveries. The categories are as follows: The typology theory proposed by John F. Haught categorizes these perspectives as follows: (1) Conflict, (2) Contrast, (3) Contact, and (4) Confirmation. The findings indicate that Amel's concept of Unlogic Birth integrates religious and scientific perspectives to address contemporary challenges in the context of pregnancy and childbirth. In her discourse, Amel predominantly employs the Confirmation Typology to reinforce religious beliefs, as evidenced by her perspectives on embryology, the story of Maryam, and breastfeeding, where scientific findings are perceived as corroborating and substantiating religious tenets. However, in certain aspects, such as her perspective on divine decrees in the womb, Amel employs the Contrast Typology, prioritizing religion over science and emphasizing the limitations of science in explaining divine dimensions. In practice, Amel tends to adopt the Contact Typology, harmonizing religion and science to provide pragmatic solutions. These include addressing pregnant women's anxiety caused by too much information (TMI) and overthinking (OVT). This divergence in approach reflects Amel's flexibility in bridging religious values and science. It also reflects her ability to adapt her approach to meet practical challenges while maintaining the integrity of spiritual principles.

Abstract

This paper aims to analyse the practice of Qur’an Journaling as a new tool that serves as a medium for learning tafsīr and disseminating religious content among the younger generation. This topic is worth reviewing due to the observed transformation of religious authority through social media, which has shifted traditional figures such as scholars and clerics to digital influencers, significantly impacting how audiences engage with interpretations. This descriptive-analytical study sources its data from online media, specifically Qur’an journaling content posted by the Instagram account @aisharizqy, making this research a form of virtual ethnography. Roger Fidler’s media morphosis approach is used to identify three critical concepts: co-evolution, convergence, and complexity. This approach is employed to explore further the process of media shifts concerning tafsīr references over time. The findings indicate that Qur’an Journaling is a manifestation of the transformation of the school (madrasah) of tafsīr, combining traditional religious practices with modern technology. Despite the novelty in the form of communicators and media, this practice remains rooted in existing oral and written traditions. Additionally, social media as an online community plays a role in reinforcing an individual’s religious identity through virtual religious symbols. These findings also indicate a contestation and shift in how religious authority is constructed and recognized in the digital era. This shift in authority has implications for the interpretation and citation of tafsīr among Muslims, who rely more on digital sources and social media. This transformation also reflects the emergence of a new phase in tafsīr learning that requires a critical evaluation of the validity and credibility of digital sources in the contemporary era.

Abstract

This article explores the theological foundations for gender justice within Islamic tradition by reinterpreting a prophetic tradition through the lens of hakiki justice, a conceptual framework developed by Indonesian scholar Nur Rofiah. The study focuses on a hadith narrated by Imam al-Tirmidhī (No. 1162), which, while traditionally viewed as a normative ethical teaching on family relations, is examined here for its potential to support an emancipatory reading when contextualized within women’s lived experiences. Employing the maʿānī al-ḥadīth (semantic analysis) approach, this research argues that even non-explicitly transformative hadith can serve as a theological basis for advancing gender justice when interpreted through a critical, contextual, and gender-aware framework. The study responds to critiques of patriarchal bias in the commentary of hadith and contributes to the broader discourse on Islamic feminist hermeneutics by expanding the use of Nur Rofiah’s approach beyond Qur’anic texts. Ultimately, this paper demonstrates that re-reading hadith with attention to both context and justice principles can support more inclusive and equitable understandings of Islam.

Abstract

The concept of maqāṣid al-Qur’ān—the higher objectives or ultimate purposes of the Qur’anic message—has increasingly garnered scholarly attention in modern Islamic thought, particularly as part of broader efforts to renew Islamic legal and hermeneutical discourses. While contemporary scholarship often focuses on maqāṣid al-sharīʿah (the objectives of Islamic law), the distinct notion of maqāṣid al-Qur’ān remains relatively underexplored, both in its theoretical articulation and historical development. This article seeks to address that gap by offering a critical genealogy of maqāṣid al-Qur’ān, tracing its evolution from early exegetical practices to its systematic conceptualization in modern Islamic scholarship. Therefore, this article proposes a five-phase genealogical framework for the historical development of maqāṣid al-Qurʾān: (1) the Pre-Conceptual Applicative Phase; (2) the Formative-Conceptual Phase; (3) the Affirmative-Critical Phase; (4) the Transformative-Interpretative Phase; and (5) the Reformative-Theoretical Phase.
