Abstract

Polygamy remains a controversial issue in contemporary Islamic discourse, causing tension between the legitimacy of hadith texts and their social implications for gender justice. This study explores the construction of discourse on polygamy in the digital space through a netnographic approach to the Instagram account @khalidbasalamahofficial. The analysis focuses on the representation of hadiths on justice in polygamy and how the public responds to, affirms, or criticizes the content of these sermons. The results show that hadiths are selectively represented to affirm the legality of polygamy in Islamic law, while also functioning as a symbolic instrument in building digital religious authority. However, public interactions give rise to negotiations of meaning that indicate an epistemic transformation, in which religious authority shifts from formal institutions to a more participatory digital public sphere. In this context, the Qirā’ah Mubādalah approach offers a reinterpretative framework that emphasizes the principles of reciprocity and justice, demanding the realization of equal social relations and fair and dignified treatment of women. Thus, polygamy is not only understood as a permissible practice but also as an arena for moral reflection, affirming that balance, equality, and mutual benefit are at the core of religious authority and practice in the digital age.

Abstract

Horror cinema functions as a powerful medium for articulating cultural anxieties about the metaphysical and the sacred. While Western horror frequently reflects concern about the erosion of religious faith, Southeast Asian horror, particularly in Indonesia, remains deeply embedded in localized theological traditions. This study examines contrasting representations of religious fear by comparing the construction of Demons in Western cinema (The Exorcist, Hereditary) and Jinn in Indonesian cinema (Qodrat, Pengabdi Setan). Drawing on Roland Barthes’s semiotic framework, specifically the interplay of denotation, connotation, and myth, this research decodes key religious signifiers, including the crucifix, exorcism rituals, Qur’anic recitation (ruqyah), and cultic imagery. The findings reveal a marked cosmological divergence: Western horror tends to portray the demonic as a symptom of a modern spiritual crisis and the tension between faith and secular rationality, whereas Indonesian horror situates the Jinn within the dynamics of public piety, Islamic orthodoxy, and syncretism, and critiques religious authority. Beyond their entertainment value, these films function as cultural texts that construct myths about divine power and spiritual vulnerability. This study contributes to scholarship on religion and media by proposing a cross-cultural semiotic model that demonstrates how horror cinema operates as a theological battleground in the modern imagination.

Abstract

The meaning of mawlā in the Ghadīr Khumm tradition remains one of the most contested issues in Islamic intellectual history, particularly within debates over religious authority and succession. While Shiʿi scholarship has predominantly interpreted the term as denoting authority and leadership, relatively little attention has been paid to the tradition through the lens of modern hermeneutical theory. This article re-examines the semantic and contextual dimensions of mawlā in Shiʿi narrations of Ghadīr Khumm by employing Friedrich Schleiermacher’s hermeneutics. Drawing on grammatical interpretation, psychological interpretation, and the hermeneutic circle, the study analyzes key Shiʿi textual sources in order to reconstruct the possible meaning of the Prophet’s declaration within its linguistic, historical, and discursive setting. The findings suggest that mawlā is most plausibly understood as a form of religiously grounded authority that extends beyond notions of friendship, loyalty, or patronage and is presented as continuous with the Prophet’s normative authority over the believing community. This interpretation demonstrates a higher degree of coherence with the narrative structure, rhetorical features, and historical circumstances of the Ghadīr event than alternative readings. By bringing classical Islamic materials into dialogue with modern hermeneutical theory, the article contributes to broader discussions on meaning, intentionality, and historical understanding in the study of religious texts, while also highlighting the epistemological limits inherent in reconstructing authorial intention from transmitted traditions.
