Abstract

This study aims to examine the meaning of Ahlul Bait in the Qur’an through a comparative analysis between the classical exegesis of al-Ṭabarī and the critical hermeneutical approach of Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd. This research is qualitative in nature and employs a library research method, using content analysis and critical hermeneutics as its analytical approaches. The data sources consist of primary data, namely al-Ṭabarī’s Jāmi‘ al-Bayān ‘an Ta’wīl Āy al-Qur’ān and the works of Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd, as well as secondary data from tafsir literature and contemporary hermeneutical studies. Data were collected through documentation by identifying and classifying Qur’anic verses related to Ahlul Bait. The data analysis was conducted by examining al-Ṭabarī’s interpretation based on the riwāyah approach and comparing it with Abu Zayd’s hermeneutical framework to reveal the relationship between text, context, and reader. The findings indicate that al-Ṭabarī’s interpretation reflects Sunni theological constructs shaped by historical and socio-political contexts, while Abu Zayd’s hermeneutics opens broader possibilities for reinterpretation. This study concludes that the meaning of Ahlul Bait is dynamic, not merely genealogical, but also represents ethical and spiritual values.

Abstract

This research examines the weakened oversight function of the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia in public service delivery as a consequence of three fundamental deficiencies within Law Number 37 of 2008 concerning the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia. First, the absence of executive enforcement authority over the Ombudsman’s recommendations results in its operation merely as a magistrature of influence, unlike its counterparts in developed jurisdictions. Second, the Ombudsman’s institutional position remains ambiguous and marginal within the state structure, as it is neither explicitly nor implicitly regulated in the 1945 Constitution. Third, budgetary and human resource constraints inevitably follow from such limited authority, while maladministration practices continue to rise, totaling 81,432 reports over the past two decades. The findings conclude that institutionally, the Ombudsman functions as a state auxiliary organ and, functionally, as part of the fourth branch of government. However, it currently exercises only a magistrature of influence, necessitating a legal transformation into a magistrature of sanction. From the perspective of fiqih siyasah (Islamic political jurisprudence), strengthening the Ombudsman is imperative, as it aligns with the principle of al-amr bi al-ma’ruf wa al-nahy ‘an al-munkar (commanding right and forbidding wrong), the concept of wilayat al-hisbah (public accountability institution), and the objectives of maqashid al-shariah. The proposed institutional strengthening model through legal revision comprises four simultaneous measures: (1) establishing binding executive authority for recommendations; (2) optimizing preventive and educational functions based on the Fiqh Anti-Maladministration framework; (3) strengthening an integrated complaint reporting system with whistleblower protection; and (4) internalizing fiqih siyasah values (trustworthiness, justice, public interest, accountability) into positive law. This research recommends that the revision of Law Number 37 of 2008 accommodate all four measures concurrently, thereby transforming the Ombudsman into a strong, independent supervisory institution capable of performing the hisbah function within a modern constitutional state.

Abstract

Regional autonomy is a strategic policy within the Indonesian state system, aimed at creating an effective, democratic, and responsive government. However, in practice, the implementation of regional autonomy still faces a dynamic tug-of-war between decentralisation and centralisation, giving rise to problems such as overlapping authority, regional fiscal dependence, and a tendency towards recentralization by the central government. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the concept, legal basis, and implementation of regional autonomy in the context of the relationship between the central and regional governments. This study uses normative legal research with a statutory and conceptual approach. Data sources consist of primary legal materials, such as the 1945 Constitution and Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government, as well as secondary legal materials in the form of books, scientific journals, and previous research results. Data collection techniques were carried out through literature studies, while data analysis techniques used descriptive qualitative analysis by systematically interpreting and reviewing legal materials. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of regional autonomy in Indonesia is not fully optimal due to the ongoing imbalance between central and regional authorities. In addition, policy inconsistencies were found that trigger a tendency towards re-centralisation. Therefore, it is necessary to harmonise regulations, strengthen regional capacity, and maintain policy consistency to create an ideal balance between decentralisation and centralisation within the framework of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia.

Abstract

The rapid development of the digital era has transformed the meaning of sports from a health-oriented activity into a form of self-representation within virtual spaces. This shift is reflected in the increasing prevalence of fitness-related content on social media, which not only showcases physical activities but also promotes body exposure as a visual strategy to attract attention and gain social recognition. From an Islamic perspective, such practices potentially conflict with the concept of ‘awrah and the ethical values governing bodily modesty in public spaces. This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of body exposure in digital sports through the framework of maqashid al-sharia and to formulate ethical guidelines for social media engagement in accordance with Islamic principles. The research employs a qualitative approach using library research, with primary sources derived from the Qur’an, hadith, and classical as well as contemporary Islamic jurisprudential works, particularly those of al-Nawawi, al-Qardhawi and Wahbah al-Zuhaili, complemented by secondary data from academic journals and media reports. Data analysis is conducted using a descriptive-analytical method with normative and maqashid-based approaches. The findings indicate that the transformation of digital sports has led to the commodification of the body and triggered psychological impacts such as body dissatisfaction. Within the maqashid al-sharia framework, body exposure may violate the fundamental objectives of preserving religion (hifzh al-din), life (hifzh al-nafs), and honor (hifzh al-‘irdh). Therefore, a reconstruction of sharia-based digital sports ethics is necessary, emphasizing modest dress, visual restraint, and moral awareness in social media practices to maintain a balance between digital modernity and Islamic values.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the concept of I’jāz Balāghī in Surah Yāsīn through a comparative study of Tafsīr al-Kasysyāf by al-Zamakhsharī and Ṣafwah al-Tafāsīr by ‘Alī al-Ṣābūnī. The study of Qur’anic inimitability, particularly in its linguistic dimension, has become increasingly significant amid contemporary academic debates that question the authenticity of the Qur’an, thus requiring a balāghah-based approach as evidence of its rhetorical superiority. This research employs a qualitative library research method with a descriptive-analytical approach and a comparative method. The data sources consist of primary data from Tafsīr al-Kasysyāf and Ṣafwah al-Tafāsīr, as well as secondary data from literature on ‘ulūm al-Qur’ān, balāghah, and relevant academic journals. Data were collected through documentation by identifying and classifying verses of Surah Yāsīn containing elements of ma‘ānī, bayān, and badī‘. The data analysis was conducted by describing each mufassir’s interpretation and comparing their similarities, differences, and methodological strengths in explaining I’jāz Balāghī. The findings reveal that I’jāz Balāghī in Surah Yāsīn is manifested through the integration of ma‘ānī, bayān, and badī‘, forming both rhetorical and argumentative structures. Tafsīr al-Kasysyāf emphasizes a deep linguistic-analytical approach, while Ṣafwah al-Tafāsīr offers a more systematic and applicative explanation. Comparatively, both exegeses complement each other in understanding the multidimensional nature of I’jāz Balāghī, thereby reinforcing the argument of the Qur’an’s inimitability from a linguistic perspective.

Abstract

This research analyzes Munawir Sjadzali’s reactualization of Islamic inheritance law in Indonesia, motivated by the tension between the 2:1 ratio and modern roles of women. Method: qualitative library research. Approaches: normative-philosophical and sociological. Primary data: Sjadzali’s "Hukum Waris Islam di Indonesia," "Ijtihad Kemanusiaan," and "Kontekstualisasi Ajaran Islam." Secondary data: journals, theses, and Yogyakarta Religious Court Decision No. 207/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Yk. Data collection: documentation. Data analysis: content analysis. Results indicate the 1:1 ratio proposal addresses Muslims' "ambivalent attitude" in using hibah for justice. This ijtihad, based on Maslahah theory and Umar bin Khattab's precedents, establishes an adaptive "Indonesian Fiqh." Its relevance is evidenced by judicial practices accommodating equal distribution via islah. It recommends reforming the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI).
