Abstract

Gender justice studies in Quranic studies tend to focus on women as the parties affected by inequality. In contrast, the normative construction of men as active subjects forming just relations has not been systematically studied within a comprehensive thematic framework. This gap has implications for the limited conceptual formulation of gender responsibility from a Quranic perspective. This study aims to formulate a normative-analytical framework on the role of men in gender justice in the domestic and public spheres through a critical thematic reinterpretation of the Quranic text. This research is a literature study with a thematic interpretation approach (mawḍūʻī) based on critical gender analysis, using verse selection criteria related to leadership, family responsibilities, social relations, and moral accountability, and referring to classical and contemporary interpretations for comparative analysis and conceptual synthesis. The results of the study show four integrative dimensions: first, the principle of moral responsibility as an ontological foundation that positions men as ethical agents bound by the mandate of justice; second, domestic relational justice that emphasizes partnership, protection, and respect based on mutuality, not hierarchical superiority; third, public social accountability that constructs leadership as an ethical-transformative function for the collective good; fourth, domestic-public integration as a coherent model of gender responsibility that rejects role dichotomy. These findings broaden the discourse on gender interpretation by shifting the focus from the victim narrative to the construction of men’s normative responsibility, and they provide a conceptual foundation for developing equality policies and practices grounded in Quranic values.

Abstract

The dominance of the orientalist paradigm in modern Islamic historiography has resulted in the construction of historical knowledge that tends to position Muslim societies as objects of representation through an external epistemological framework. Although post-orientalist critique has developed widely, studies that systematically explain the epistemological and methodological transformations of Islamic historiography within global knowledge production remain relatively limited. This study aims to analyze the process of reconstructing Islamic historiography post-orientalism and to formulate the characteristics of a new paradigm for the production of historical knowledge in global Islamic studies. The study uses a qualitative approach based on literature studies employing critical historiographical methods and epistemological analysis of the works of orientalists, postcolonial thinkers, and contemporary Islamic historiography, purposively selected for their relevance to the issue of historical knowledge production. The results show that the reconstruction of Islamic historiography proceeds through three main transformations. First, the deconstruction of essentialist, ahistorical, and Eurocentric assumptions that have shaped the narrative of Islamic history. Second, a methodological shift toward an interdisciplinary approach that integrates history, anthropology, sociology, area studies, and network analysis to explain the complexity of Muslim historical experiences. Third, the emergence of transnational historiography positions the Islamic world as a global space of interaction through the circulation of ideas, intellectual mobility, cultural exchange, and cross-regional political relations. This transformation has resulted in a historiographic paradigm that is more pluralistic, contextual, multi-perspective, and reflective of the diversity of sources and historical actors. In conclusion, post-orientalist Islamic historiography offers a new epistemological framework that strengthens the decolonization of knowledge and the development of a more inclusive global study of Islam.

Abstract

Orientalist historiography has long shaped understandings of Islamic history in the Indian Ocean region through a diffusionist paradigm that positions the Middle East as the epicenter of the spread of Islam and coastal communities in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and East Africa as passive recipients of external influences. Despite the development of global history and connected histories, several classical orientalist narratives still influence interpretations of the Islamization process in the region. This article aims to analyze the epistemological biases in orientalist historiography on Indian Ocean Islam and to reconstruct alternative understandings of the Islamization process, scholarly networks, and socio-religious mobility through a post-orientalist perspective. This research employs qualitative methods grounded in critical historiography, analyzing classical orientalist works and contemporary studies on maritime Islamic history through discourse analysis and epistemological critique. The results show that orientalist historiography tends to reproduce Eurocentric assumptions and a center-periphery model that simplifies the complexity of Islamic history in the Indian Ocean region. Islamization took place through transregional networks connecting major ports, the mobility of scholars, traders, and diaspora communities who played active roles in the exchange of ideas, religious practices, and intellectual authority. Interregional interactions have led to processes of adaptation, negotiation, and cultural hybridization that shape local Islamic traditions, all of which are by global networks. The Indian Ocean represents a multipolar and dialogical space of Islamic connectivity, while also offering a historiographical reconstruction that positions regional actors as central elements in the formation of maritime Islamic history.

Abstract

Islamic historiography is generally structured through territorial, dynastic, and chronological frameworks, resulting in a fragmented understanding of the cross-regional relations that shaped the development of the Islamic world. This tendency leaves gaps in our understanding of the relationships among intellectual centers, economic networks, and social mobility on a transregional scale. This article aims to analyze patterns of global connectivity in Islamic history using a network analysis approach to reconstruct relationships among scholars, scientific institutions, trade routes, and Muslim communities across regions. This research uses a qualitative-historical method based on library studies, analyzing Islamic historiographic literature, historical sources, biographies of scholars, travelogues, and trade studies in Eurasia and the Indian Ocean. A network analysis framework is used to map the nodes, relationships, and connectivity flows that shape the historical structure of the Islamic world. The results of the study reveal a layered network pattern connecting centers of knowledge in the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Africa through scholarly travel, scholarly transmission chains, and intellectual correspondence. The scholarly network serves as a mechanism for knowledge transmission, fostering epistemic integration across regions. At the same time, trade networks formed corridors of economic, cultural, and religious interaction that accelerated the circulation of ideas, commodities, and Muslim identities. The mobility of migrants, diasporas, and students strengthened the position of various cities as strategic nodes in the global Islamic network. These findings affirm Islamic history as a relational system shaped by transregional connectivity and enrich contemporary Islamic historiography with a more integrative, global-network perspective.

Abstract

The rise in Islamophobic incidents following 21st-century geopolitical events has sparked debate about the representation of Islamic history in global historiography. Several studies have highlighted the dominance of conflict-oriented interpretive frameworks, but the relationship between Islamophobia, historical source selection, and the formation of global narratives has rarely been systematically examined. This study aims to identify patterns of representation of Islamic history, explain the mechanisms of historiographic construction, and examine the epistemological implications of Islamophobia in international historical literature. This literature review employs a qualitative approach, drawing on critical historiography and critical discourse analysis. The research corpus includes historiographic works published between 2001 and 2025, selected based on thematic relevance, citation influence, and a focus on global Islamic history. The analysis was conducted in the following stages: narrative classification, terminology identification, argumentation pattern tracing, dominant theme mapping, and epistemological framework interpretation. The results reveal three main tendencies: the dominance of narratives of conflict and Islamic political expansion; the marginalization of the intellectual, scientific, economic, and institutional contributions of the Islamic world; and the use of terminology that associates Islam with security threats and the clash of civilizations. The analysis also uncovered source selection practices that focused on Euro-Atlantic perspectives, neglected transregional networks of knowledge transmission, and limited use of Islamic primary sources. These patterns of representation reinforce the reproduction of stereotypes and narrow understanding of the complex history of Islamic civilization. These findings indicate the significant role of historiographical construction in shaping global perceptions of Islamic history and underscore the urgency of a reflexive, multi-perspective, and decolonial approach in contemporary historiographical studies.

Abstract

Studies on the Jawi ʻulamāʻ network have developed extensively, although some strands of global Islamic historiography still treat the Nusantara archipelago as a peripheral space in the formation and circulation of Islamic knowledge. The limitations of previous studies are evident in the minimal explanation of the position of Nusantara ʻulamāʻ as interregional liaisons and their role in shaping the flow of knowledge across Islamic regions from the 18th to the early 20th centuries. This study aims to reconstruct the structure of the Nusantara ʻulamāʻ intellectual network and explain the mechanisms of Islamic knowledge circulation that connect the Malay world with centers of Islamic scholarship. This study uses qualitative methods and a transnational intellectual history approach, employing an intellectual network analysis of ʻulamāʻ works, scientific chains of transmission, intellectual biographies, and global Islamic historical literature. The results show a multidirectional network pattern, characterized by the mobility of ʻulamāʻ to Mecca, Medina, Cairo, and Hadramawt, as well as the formation of scholarly communities that bring together actors from various regions. The scientific chains of transmission function as an instrument of legitimacy, a medium of intellectual integration, and a means of distributing religious authority. The production of books, sharḥ, ḥashiyah, and treatises demonstrates the involvement of Nusantara ʻulamāʻ in the reproduction, adaptation, and development of Islamic discourse. The development of printing and educational networks accelerated the circulation of ideas across the Malay world and other Islamic regions. These findings demonstrate the position of Nusantara ʻulamāʻ as active nodes in the global network of Islamic knowledge, thus requiring a reading that positions Nusantara as a center for the articulation and transmission of knowledge across regions.

Abstract

Global historiography continues to evolve toward a more integrated reading of world history, although some interpretive frameworks remain dominated by Western historiographic perspectives, and the relationship among social cohesion, the formation of power, and the transformation of civilizations across regions has yet to receive an adequate conceptual explanation. Studies on the theory of ʻAṣabiyyah generally focus on Islamic history or regional political dynamics, while its use as an analytical tool in global historiography is still limited. This study aims to reconstruct Ibn Khaldūn’s ʻAṣabiyyah theory as an analytical framework for explaining the relationship among collective solidarity, political legitimacy, power expansion, and civilizational change in global historiography. This study uses a qualitative approach based on literature studies through historiographical analysis, conceptual analysis, and critical interpretation of the Muqaddimah as a primary source and recent academic literature as a secondary source. The analysis yields a conceptual reconstruction that positions ʻAṣabiyyah as a historical mechanism linking social cohesion, the consolidation of political authority, the capacity for collective mobilization, the expansion of power, the process of institutionalization, the decline of solidarity, and the cycle of civilizational transformation across regions and historical contexts. This reconstruction demonstrates the ability of Ibn Khaldūn’s theory to explain historical dynamics through the integrated interaction of social and political factors, and expands the function of ʻAṣabiyyah from a historical concept to an interpretive instrument in global historiography. The findings of this study enrich the conceptual framework of global historiography by integrating the Islamic intellectual tradition as a systematic and relevant analytical perspective, broadening the horizons of world historical explanation.
