Abstract

Scientific interpretation of the Qur’an in the Indonesian archipelago has shown significant development as part of academic discourse among Muslim scholars and intellectuals. This article critically examines Muhammad Irsyad’s interpretive framework in Tapsèr Sorat Yaa-siin (Bhāsa Madhurā), a Madurese commentary of the Qur’an that reflects integrative efforts between revelation and science. The existence of this work complements the variety of local interpetation with scientific nuances in Indonesia. Through a qualitative-descriptive approach based on literature review, this study maps Irsyad’s views on the relationship between the Qur’an and science using Campanini’s typology and analyzes his interpretative approach using Ian Barbour’s model. The findings reveal that the idea of integrating the Qur’an and science in Irsyad’s commentary is based on two main philosophical foundations. First, the Qur’an is not merely positioned as a sacred text conveying ritual-theological teachings but also contains a scientific dimension that encourages exploration of the universe. Second, Irsyad emphasizes that the Qur’an provides an ethical and methodological basis for understanding scientific phenomena. In its implementation, the integrative paradigm offered by Irsyad encompasses three essential concepts: (1) the integration of various branches of knowledge to explain phenomena comprehensively, (2) the Qur’an as the center of integration and the source of ethical values, and (3) tawḥīd as the ultimate goal and ontological foundation. Therefore, the interpretation of Tapsèr Sorat Yaa-siinnot only reflects a local response to modernity but also presents an epistemological model that harmoniously links revelation, reason, and scientific observation.
Contesting Misogyny in Canonical Hadith: A Comparative Analysis of the Commentaries of Ibn Ḥajar al-‘Asqalānī and Badr al-Dīn al-‘Aynī on Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī Samanarnik, Samanarnik; Muhammad Saifullah; Muhammad Amiruddin

Abstract

This study examines the controversy surrounding authentic hadiths that reflect gender bias, misogyny, and anti-female sentiment, with a particular focus on Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, one of the most authoritative sources of Islamic law. Specifically, this study highlights how two major commentators on Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, Ibn Ḥajar al-‘Asqalānī and Badr al-Dīn al-‘Aynī, interpret hadiths that depict women as the majority of hell’s inhabitants and their understanding of the term kufr in that context, as explained in their major works, Fatḥ al-Bārī and ‘Umdat al-Qārī. This study also investigates the historical context of the two scholars, paying attention to their differing views and personal conflicts, as well as the impact of these on their interpretation of the hadith. Through a qualitative literature review approach, this study seeks to provide a deeper understanding of their methods of interpretation and highlights the presence of personal conflict as a factor shaping interpretive differences. This study argues that the competitive dynamics between Ibn Ḥajar al-‘Asqalānī and Badr al-Dīn al-‘Aynī significantly influenced how each scholar understood this controversial narration, resulting in different readings of the hadith narrative that is often considered misogynistic.

Abstract

This article examines the influence of Egypt and Turkey on the Mushaf Pusaka of the Republic of Indonesia as the first state-issued Qur’an. This research is a qualitative study with a philological approach. The philological approach used does not aim to present the best edition of the edited text but rather to compare the text and writing style of the Mushaf Pusaka with previously written manuscripts. The results of the study show that the mushaf initiated by Abu Bakar Atjeh and Soekarno has similarities with two important mushafs in the Islamic world, namely the Mushaf Mesir published in 1924 and the Mushaf Bahriyyah from Turkey. Although during the writing of the Mushaf Pusaka (1948–1960), the majority of Indonesian Muslims still used the Mushaf Bombay, Salim Fachry, the author of the Mushaf Pusaka, did not refer to the Mushaf Bombay in his work. Instead, he used the 1924 Mushaf Mesir as the main reference in terms of text, such as rasm, qirā’āt, and ḍabṭ. Meanwhile, in terms of the number of pages and lines per page, the Mushaf Pusaka shows similarities with the Mushaf Bahriyyah from Turkey. Based on the results of data analysis, it can be concluded that the influence of Egypt and Turkey in the Mushaf Pusakaoccurred due to Salim Fachry’s educational background in Egypt and his mastery of the rules of calligraphy that were rapidly developing in Turkey.

Abstract

Discussions regarding the translation of the Qur’an into regional languages have undergone significant development in recent decades. This study aims to examine the translation of the Qur’an into the Palembang language, an initiative pioneered by the state, with a focus on how the translation team formulated gender hierarchy in the Qur’anic text. This study analyzes explicitly two key terms in Surah al-Nisā’ [4:34], namely min nafs wāḥidah and qawwāmūn . The method used is qualitative, relying on primary and secondary sources and employing Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework to explore the relationship between the translated text and the surrounding social discourse. The results of the study indicate that the translation of the term min nafs wāḥidah in the Al-Qur’an dan Terjemahnya Bahasa Palembang reflects internal genealogical authority. Meanwhile, the term qawwāmūn is translated through two approaches: first, a genealogical approach that refers to previous translation traditions; second, a social approach influenced by the political dynamics of the campus as an institution under the auspices of the government, which has contributed to the strengthening of women’s roles in the public sphere—as seen in the election of female rectors for two consecutive terms. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of gender dynamics in local translations of the Qur’an by highlighting the interaction between religious texts, politics, and social contexts.

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.

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.

Abstract

The concept of self-esteem is a fundamental aspect in the formation of a dignified human civilization, as reflected in the teachings of the Qur’an. Amidst the growing identity crisis and existential challenges of modern humans, the study of the Qur’an’s understanding of self-esteem has become increasingly relevant. This study aims to examine the concept of self-esteem in the Qur’an and explore its contextualization and relevance in a contemporary context. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive and analytical approach, and refers to Abdullah Saeed’s contextual theoretical framework to understand the text in its historical and contemporary contexts. The results of the study indicate that verses such as Surah al-Isrā’ [17]: 62 and 70, Surah al-Furqān [25]: 72, and Surah al-Ḥujurāt [49]: 13 affirm the uniqueness of humans as beings endowed with reason, honor, and moral potential. These values align with modern psychological principles regarding the importance of self-esteem in shaping character and integrity. This study affirms that strengthening self-esteem through a holistic understanding of Islam has the potential to make an important contribution to the development of human resources and the formation of an inclusive and civilized society.
