Abstract

This study aims to examine the injak telur (egg-stepping) tradition in customary wedding processions in Taktakan Village, Serang City, Banten Province, Indonesia, with a focus on its symbolic meanings as a manifestation of Living Hadis in society. The primary research question explores the extent to which hadis values are alive and actualized through this ritual practice. Employing a qualitative field study with phenomenological and social action approaches, primary data were collected via participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation from key informants, including customary leaders, tradition practitioners, and local residents. The findings reveal that the injak telur tradition serves not only as a preserved customary ritual but also as a medium for actualizing hadis values in the marital context. Its symbolic meanings encompassing the husband's responsibility as head of the family, the wife's devotion and cooperation, household harmony, and aspirations for generational continuity align with marital advice in authentic hadis, particularly those narrated by al-Bukhari and an-Nasa'i. The community in Taktakan Village interprets this tradition through a process of contextualizing hadis texts into daily religious practices, thereby forming an implicit Living Hadis. This study concludes that the injak telur tradition can serve as an effective means of marital counseling for couples to realize a sakinah (tranquil, peaceful) family.

Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of Living Hadith in the tradition of religious gatherings (tahlilan) held on Thursday nights seven days after a death in Tegal Sari Village, Walantaka District, Serang City, Banten. Employing a descriptive qualitative method with the Living Hadith approach developed by Saifuddin Zuhri Qudsy, data were collected through participatory observation and in-depth interviews with religious leaders and community members. The findings reveal that the tradition of Thursday night religious gatherings seven days after a death represents a concrete manifestation of Living Hadith in the socio-religious practices of the community, even though hadith values are not always referenced textually. The primary values actualized include silaturahmi (social bonds with kin, as in Sahih Bukhari no. 1925), remembrance of death (as in Sahih Tirmidzi no. 2307), social empathy, mutual cooperation (gotong royong), charity (sedekah), and da'wah through religious exhortations (tausiyah). This tradition deserves preservation as it aligns with hadith exhortations to strengthen silaturahmi, foster empathy and mutual assistance among fellow Muslims, and refresh awareness of human mortality. These findings affirm that Living Hadith in the seven-day post-death tahlilan tradition serves as an effective medium for da'wah actualization, simultaneously reinforcing social solidarity and faith within the Muslim community.
Between Textual Authority and Functional Dominance: The Dialectic of Ḥadīth's Position in Uṣūl Al-Fiqh Epistemology Anisa Fitriyani; Rizky Wahyu Satria; Akhsa Alpar Mubarak; Hafidz Taqiyuddin

Abstract

This research aims to dissect the epistemological position of Hadith within the construction of Islamic law through the lens of ushul fiqh. Amidst the tension between static divine texts and progressive social dynamics, Hadith is often positioned in a dialectic between normative authority and functional dominance. Utilizing library research with a historical-philosophical approach, this study finds that the status of Hadith as the second source of law is not subordinate but rather complementary-organic. The analysis of bayan typologies demonstrates that Hadith acts as a dynamic force that transforms the universal messages of the Qur'an into technical-applicative norms. Furthermore, the methodological contestation among schools of thought—ranging from Hanafi rationality to Hanbali textualism—reflects the flexibility of ushul fiqh in responding to geographical and social contexts. The study concludes that the contemporary relevance of Hadith depends on the courage to engage in contextualization and interdisciplinary integration, ensuring that Hadith remains a responsive ethical anchor for modern challenges

Abstract

This study aims to explore the life experiences of female inmates at the Class IIA Tanjung Gusta Penitentiary in Medan, specifically in interpreting the process of repentance and religious rehabilitation during their incarceration. Utilizing a field study method, the findings indicate that religious guidance provided by religious teachers (ustadz), combined with vocational training, significantly contributes to the inmates' selftransformation. Furthermore, structured religious programs strengthen spiritual and emotional resilience, assisting inmates in managing remorse while fostering new hope. Additionally, independence training such as sewing, culinary arts, and handicrafts equips inmates with the productivity needed to reintegrate into society and achieve a prosperous life. Despite constraints in specialized women's health facilities, the gradual internalization of religious values and a professional work ethic reconstructs the inmates' identities into more responsible and positive individuals.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the practice of reciting shalawat through the art of hadrah performed by the youth community in Jatikesuma Village, Deli Serdang. Using a field study method, primary data were obtained through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of the hadrah players and their mentors. The research findings indicate that the practice of reciting 'shalawat' through the art of 'hadrah' generates spiritual expressions manifested within the players' inner experiences in two primary forms. First, the emergence of mahabbah (divine love) for Allah and the Prophet Muhammad PBUH; second, the internalization of exemplary values and character obtained through the appreciation of lyrics, music, and rhythms that provide a sense of khusyuk (deep devotion). These two forms of values have implications for strengthening the values of Akhlaki Sufism which significantly shape the personality of the youth to become more religious and well-mannered. Thus, hadrah art is effective as a means of spiritual character education in converting Sufistic values into ethical behavior at the grassroots level which is essential to maintain.

Abstract

This article aims to explain the causes of social conflict between the Mandailing and Minangkabau ethnic groups in Padang Lawas. It raises two main questions: what are the causes of the conflict, and how is the conflict managed? This study employs a qualitative approach with a field research design, while the data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings show that the conflict stems from clashes in communication culture, cultural differences, acculturation in interethnic marriages, and domination of the economic sphere as sources of intergroup tension. As a result, equal and dialogical social integration has failed to develop. In certain contexts, the Minangkabau ethnic group, as migrants, is perceived as not having fully assimilated into the local customs and culture of the Mandailing community, thereby creating social distance, prejudice, and stereotypes that continue to be reproduced in everyday interactions. On the other hand, interethnic marriage often becomes an arena of identity negotiation laden with cultural pressures, while domination in the economic sector further reinforces social boundaries between the two groups. This article emphasizes that social conflict in a plural society is not merely the result of ethnic difference itself, but rather the product of disrupted communication, fragile acculturation, and unequal power relations. Therefore, conflict resolution requires a more transformative cultural approach through cultural dialogue, the strengthening of social empathy, and the reconstruction of more inclusive interethnic relations. These findings demonstrate that without fair management of pluralism, diversity can easily shift from being a social asset into a latent source of social fragmentation.

Abstract

This study examined the effect of the Active, Innovative, Creative, Effective, and Enjoyable Learning (PAIKEM) strategy on students' learning outcomes in Fiqh Thaharah at MTs Nurul Iman Tanjung Morawa. The study used a quantitative field-research approach with a one-group pretest–posttest design involving 60 students. Data were gathered through observation, tests, and supporting documentation, while the learning intervention emphasized student-centered discussion, participation, and contextual engagement with purification material. The findings show that students' post-intervention achievement was high, with 87.5% of students classified in the “very good” category and a mean score of 84.6. The statistical analysis also indicated that the data met the normality and homogeneity assumptions, and the hypothesis test showed a significant effect of the PAIKEM strategy on learning outcomes (t = 2.81 > 1.67). These results suggest that PAIKEM contributes positively to Fiqh learning because it increases participation, reduces monotony, and supports meaningful understanding of practical religious material. The study concludes that PAIKEM is a relevant instructional strategy for Fiqh Thaharah learning in madrasah settings, although its effectiveness should be supported by teacher readiness, instructional media, and a conducive learning environment.

Abstract

This study investigates the transformation of religious pedagogy through the implementation of inquiry-based learning in the teaching of Aqidah Akhlak. The study addresses the persistent issues of rote memorization and passive learning in madrasahs, which frequently fail to cultivate critical moral reasoning. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected at a junior high school (Madrasah Tsanawiyah) in North Sumatra through interviews with subject teachers and field observations. The findings demonstrate that although students initially encountered difficulties with hypothesis formulation and data analysis, consistent procedural inquiry stimulated significant cognitive engagement and reflective thinking. The study identifies teacher competence and evocative stimulation as crucial catalysts, while cognitive disparities among students serve as a primary barrier. Theoretically, this research proposes that inquiry-based learning reactualizes the Islamic tradition of critical reasoning (ijtihad), bridging the gap between theological dogma and modern constructivist education. The results suggest that fostering an "inquisitive soul" is essential for developing a resilient religious identity within a contemporary context.

Abstract

Qur'an-Hadith learning in madrasahs still faces multiple constraints that hinder the optimal achievement of Islamic educational goals. While madrasahs are expected to nurture students who are religious, morally grounded, and competent in reading the Qur'an, empirical conditions often reveal persistent barriers related to teaching materials, curriculum design, instructional methods, student background, and school facilities. This study aims to portray the problematics of Qur'an-Hadith learning at MTs Amin Darussalam and to identify the factors that sustain these challenges. Using a qualitative case-study design, data were collected through open and closed interviews with teachers, students, the principal, and parents, and were strengthened by observation and a review of relevant literature. Data were analysed through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the main problems include students' difficulties in understanding tajwid, a curriculum that is not yet differentiated, limited instructional time, the dominance of lecture-based teaching, weak basic Qur'anic reading skills among some students, limited family support, and inadequate learning facilities. These findings confirm that the problematics of Qur'an-Hadith learning are multidimensional and require coordinated responses from schools, teachers, parents, and policy makers.
