Abstract

This article analyzes the construction of digital patriarchy in Islamic moral discourse through the use of hadith about dayyūth on the Instagram account @mahasiswa.salaf using Robert N. Entman's Framing Analysis framework. In the context of social media as a space for contesting religious authority, this hadith not only functions as a source of family ethics but also as an ideological instrument that shapes moral boundaries and gender relations. Through Entman's four dimensions, such as problem definition, diagnosis of causes, moral judgment, and treatment recommendation, this article shows that the account defines moral threats as the result of men's negligence in protecting family honor, judges such behavior as a sin that blocks the path to heaven, and recommends male control over women as a solution. These findings reveal that religious narratives in digital spaces reinforce patriarchal hegemony through textual legitimation, but also open up space for resistance through audience interactions that challenge conservative interpretations with arguments for gender equality. This article contributes to the study of digital religion and Islamic gender studies by emphasizing the need for a reinterpretation of hadith based on social ethics that emphasize collective moral responsibility, the value of raḥmah, and justice in an increasingly ideological and fragmented digital religious ecosystem.

Abstract

The phenomenon of digital tafsir presents a significant challenge to the accuracy and credibility of Quranic interpretation. A controversial case emerged from Gus Nur’s digital sermon, in which he claimed that “scholars can originate from animals,” referring to surah Fāṭir [35]: 28. This claim generated theological confusion and illustrated the potential for interpretive distortion in digital da‘wah. This study investigates the forms and mechanisms of distortion in Gus Nur’s interpretation and critically verifies his claims using authoritative exegetical methods. A qualitative content-analysis approach is employed, drawing on primary data from the GusNur 13 Official YouTube channel and the Quranic text, as well as secondary data from classical and contemporary tafsir literature. The analysis integrates the framework of al-Aṣīl wa al-Dakhīl fī al-Tafsīr (The authentic and the intrusive in Quranic Exegesis) with Pierre Bourdieu’s sociological theory, specifically the concepts of field, habitus, capital, and doxa. The findings reveal that the distortions in Gus Nur’s interpretation function as a symbolic attempt to assert religious authority in the digital sphere, utilizing rhetorical strategies and visual religious symbols to construct legitimacy outside established scholarly structures. The study highlights the urgent need for critical verification of digital religious content and underscores the importance of tafsir literacy grounded in rigorous scientific methodology to preserve the accuracy and integrity of Quranic interpretation

Abstract

This article examines the ontological and epistemological foundations of H.O.S. Tjokroaminoto’s interpretation of sacred texts, as well as his hermeneutical commitment to the Quran as a project of knowledge and structural decolonization. As a prominent figure in the Indonesian Islamic political movement in the early twentieth century, Tjokro synthesized nationalism, socialism, and religiosity into an anti-colonial framework of thought. Living under the shadow of Western colonialism and capitalism, he sought to construct an antithesis to colonial hegemony through the Sarekat Islam (SI) movement and intellectual discourse based on Quranic values. Employing qualitative research with a hermeneutical approach to a range of Tjokroaminoto’s intellectual artifacts, this study finds that Tjokroaminoto interpreted the Quran from two interrelated perspectives: theologically, as a form of obedience and submission to divine revelation, and sociologically, as a moral and political imperative to free humans from oppression. His interpretation reflects a praxis-oriented epistemology rooted in the basic values of Islamic socialism, namely unity of the people, with four hermeneutic keys structured around four hermeneutical principles: equality, brotherhood, independence, and the cultivation of democratic ideals. Tjokroaminoto’s hermeneutics presents a reading that transcends dogmatic and textual boundaries, transforming the Quran into both a theological foundation and a political manifesto for liberation. Through this perspective, the Quran emerges as a living and dynamic text that inspires social change and national awakening.

Abstract

The article examines Mannā‘ al-Qaṭṭān’s Tafsīr Āyat al-Aḥkām as a central articulation of a conservative turn in Qur’anic legal hermeneutics, formulated to reinforce Islamic orthodoxy amid the growing influence of contextualist approaches in twentieth-century Qur’anic interpretation. Employing Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis framework, this study investigates three levels of discourse practice—text, discourse production, and socio-cultural context—to demonstrate how al-Qaṭṭān’s interpretive strategies construct, sustain, and reproduce religious authority. The textual analysis reveals that al-Qaṭṭān articulates his legal hermeneutics through tarbawī (pedagogical) and taysīrī (facilitative or ease-oriented) orientations, supported by argumentative patterns that reaffirm the boundaries of Islamic orthodoxy. The analysis of discourse production reveals that his critiques of theological groups—such as the Mu‘tazilah, Qadariyyah, Mujassimah-Mushabbihah, and Mu‘aṭṭilah—as well as his positions on contemporary issues, including dhikr jahrī (audible remembrance), population control, and liberal thought, function as mechanisms for delegitimizing alternative interpretive discourses. At the socio-cultural level, the study demonstrates that al-Qaṭṭān’s legal interpretive construction is inseparable from Saudi Arabia’s ideological configuration and the institutional role of the Islamic University of Imam Muḥammad ibn Sa‘ūd in shaping the kingdom’s global da‘wah agenda since the 1960s. The study concludes that his tafsīr serves as a crucial locus for reinforcing orthodoxy and sustaining the authority of conservative discourse in contemporary Islamic legal thought.

Abstract

This article examines how post-colonial Indonesian Qur’anic exegesis contributed to the reconstruction of women’s roles during the nation’s epistemic transition from colonial domination to decolonial self-definition. Drawing on Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis and hegemonic masculinity theory, the study analyzes Hamka’s Tafsīr al-Azhar and Hasbi Ash-Shiddieqy’s Tafsīr an-Nūr as two pivotal interpretive trajectories that shaped mid-20th-century Islamic thought in Indonesia. The findings reveal complementary discursive strategies: Hamka advances a moral-spiritual discourse that situates male-female relations within a balanced social fiṭrah and employs tafsir as a medium for national moral reconstruction, while Hasbi articulates a rational-reformist approach emphasizing justice, mutuality, and the historical functionality of gender roles. Both exegetes resist colonial and classical patriarchal hierarchies by reframing women not as passive subjects but as moral and civic agents in nation-building. The study’s primary contribution lies in demonstrating that post-colonial Indonesian tafsīr constitutes a distinct decolonial hermeneutic that recongures gender through three analytical dimensions: women’s morality, rationalization of roles, and epistemic repositioning within Islamic discourse.
Toward a Qur’anic Theory of Mindfulness: Integrating Consciousness, Spirituality, and Emotional Regulation in Tafsīr al-Kabīr and Tafsir al-Azhar Zakiyah, Ermita; Abdul Kadir Riyadi; Ghozi, Ghozi; Wardatun Nadhiroh

Abstract

Contemporary mindfulness research has been dominated by secular psychological paradigms, leaving the Qur’anic conception of consciousness insufficiently theorized. This article seeks to develop a Qur’anic mindfulness construct by integrating insights from classical and modern Qur’anic exegesis and examining its relationship with David R. Hawkins’ map of consciousness. Employing qualitative library research, the study analyzes two influential commentaries: Tafsīr al-Kabīr of Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī and Tafsir al-Azhar of Hamka. The findings demonstrate that Qur’anic mindfulness constitutes a psychospiritual model of consciousness grounded in divine awareness, emotional regulation, and moral transformation. The construct operates through interconnected mechanisms of dhikr, reflective self-awareness, tawakkul, tazkiyat al-nafs, and patient engagement with emotional experiences. While Hawkins’ framework helps illuminate gradations of consciousness, the Qur’anic model extends beyond psychological states by incorporating transcendental orientation and ethical accountability. Furthermore, the study identifies two complementary exegetical approaches: al-Rāzī develops an epistemological and text-centered formulation of consciousness, whereas Hamka emphasizes its contextual and practical dimensions. The article contributes to the growing field of Islamic psychology by proposing a theoretically grounded model of Qur’anic mindfulness that may serve as a foundation for future psychospiritual intervention studies.
From Exegetical Epistemology to Qur’anic Structure: Reconstructing Sa‘īd Ḥawwā’s Reading of Sūrat al-A‘rāf in al-Asās fī al-Tafsīr Anwar, Farikhul; Mika, Almughni

Abstract

The study investigates how exegetical epistemology shapes structural readings of the Qur’an by analyzing Sa‘īd Ḥawwā’s al-Asās fī al-Tafsīr. Existing scholarship has largely examined Ḥawwā within ideological and activist frameworks, leaving the epistemological foundations of his structural exegesis underexplored. Drawing on qualitative library research, this study reconstructs Ḥawwā’s sources of authority, methodological principles, and normative assumptions, and examines their application to Sūrat al-A‘rāf through thematic and structural analysis. The findings reveal that his exegetical framework rests on three interconnected pillars: the authority of tafsīr bi al-ma’thūr, the expansion of munāsabah into the structural principle of waḥdat al-khiṭāb (unity of discourse), and a normative synthesis of dalālah naṣṣiyyah (textual signification) and al-ghāyah al-shar‘iyyah (normative purposiveness). These foundations present Sūrat al-A‘rāf as a circular and progressive structure unified by the central theme of the enduring struggle between truth and falsehood, while positioning the surah as a transitional link within the Qur’anic arrangement. The study argues that Ḥawwā’s contribution extends beyond thematic exegesis, offering an epistemological model for contemporary Qur’anic structural studies that integrates textual coherence, analytical rigor, and pedagogical purpose.

Abstract

Classical Qur’anic exegesis has predominantly interpreted the relationship between the bequest verse (Q. al-Baqarah [2]:180) and the inheritance verses (Q. al-Nisā’ [4]:11–12) through the doctrine of nāsikh–mansūkh, assuming that legal coherence requires textual abrogation. While this paradigm has profoundly shaped Islamic legal thought, it has also constrained alternative hermeneutical models capable of preserving the normative integrity of both texts. Addressing this issue, this study reconstructs the nāsikh–mansūkh paradigm through a tafsīr maqāṣidī approach. Employing qualitative library research, the study integrates linguistic, contextual, comparative exegetical, and maqāṣid-oriented hermeneutic analyses of classical and contemporary Qur’anic exegesis. The findings demonstrate that the relationship between the two sets of verses is not abrogative but takāmul maqāṣidī (maqāṣidic complementarity), in which inheritance establishes the normative structure of wealth distribution while bequest functions as a flexible ethical mechanism that safeguards distributive justice in circumstances beyond the reach of fixed inheritance rules. Rather than treating nāsikh–mansūkh as the cancellation of legal validity, this reconstruction reframes it as the progressive realization of shared normative objectives. The study therefore proposes an alternative epistemological model for interpreting intertextual legal relationships in the Qur’an, offering a more coherent, justice-oriented, and context-sensitive framework for contemporary Islamic legal hermeneutics.

Abstract

Living Qur’an studies have documented diverse forms of Qur’anic reception, yet limited attention has been given to how meanings inherited from the exegetical tradition are preserved and recontextualized within contemporary religious communities. Addressing this gap, this study investigates the reception of Q.S. Fāṭir [35]:29–30 among Qur’an teachers at Pondok Pesantren Nurul Falah Surabaya. Employing a Living Qur’an approach through in-depth interviews and participant observation, the findings are analyzed using the threefold framework of exegetical, aesthetic, and functional reception in dialogue with classical and modern-contemporary exegesis. The study finds that the teachers preserve the verse’s core exegetical meanings while extending them into contemporary educational practice. Exegetical reception actualizes tilāwah, iqāmat al-ṣalāh, infāq, and tijārah lan tabūr as an integrated paradigm of Qur’anic education and devotion. Aesthetic reception is expressed through reverence for the Qur’an, proper etiquette, tartīl, and the cultivation of Qur’anic sensibility. Functional reception transforms the verse into embodied practices of da‘wah, spiritual formation, educational service, communal care, and the formation of Ahl al-Qur’an identity. These findings demonstrate that Living Qur’an reception preserves continuity with the exegetical tradition while recontextualizing Qur’anic meanings into a coherent framework of lived religious commitment.
