Abstract

Background: The development of society during the Ayyubid Dynasty marked a significant phase in the history of Islamic civilisation following the decline of the Fatimid Dynasty. Founded by Salahuddin al-Ayyubi, this dynasty is recognised not only for its success in confronting the Crusades but also for its role in establishing a more stable social, economic, and religious order. Objective: This study aims to analyse the dynamics of societal development and the factors influencing it. Method: The research employs a historical method with a qualitative approach, analysing primary and secondary sources, including chronicles, administrative documents, literary works, travel records, and archaeological and numismatic findings. Results: The findings indicate that political stability contributed to stronger governance and the enforcement of law. In the economic sector, the development of agriculture, trade, and craft industries enhanced public welfare. Support for education through madrasas and bimaristans also promoted intellectual growth. Conclusion: This study concludes that the Ayyubid Dynasty succeeded in shaping a stable and productive society. Originality/Value: This study fills a historiographical and analytical gap in the field of Islamic civilization history and medieval historical sociology by uncovering the tripartite synergy between post-Fatimid political consolidation, economic welfare revitalization, and the institutionalization of scholarship (madrasas and bimaristans) concerning the comprehensive socio-intellectual transformation of Muslim society within the context of Ayyubid governance during the Crusader period, an area that has predominantly focused on militaristic narratives. These findings enrich historical-empirical evidence and serve as a strategic reference for reconstructing conceptual frameworks of classical Islamic statecraft and modeling resilient socio-educational development strategies.

Abstract

Background: Contemporary societies face increasing challenges related to social fragmentation, intolerance, injustice, and the erosion of human dignity, highlighting the need for an ethical framework that integrates spiritual, moral, and social values. Although humanism has been widely discussed in secular philosophy, the concept of Insāniyyah in Islam as a divinely grounded model of humanism remains insufficiently explored. Objective: This study aims to systematically examine the Islamic ethic of Insāniyyah by analyzing its foundational principles in the Quran and Sunnah, with particular emphasis on human dignity, universal brotherhood, and moral justice. Method: The study employs a qualitative library research approach using descriptive and analytical methods to evaluate classical and contemporary Islamic literature. Result: The findings demonstrate that Islamic humanism is founded upon divine revelation, integrating moral responsibility, human dignity, and accountability to God within a holistic ethical framework. Unlike secular humanism, which primarily emphasizes human autonomy, the Islamic perspective harmonizes individual rights with social obligations and spiritual values, thereby promoting peaceful coexistence, mutual respect, and justice. Conclusion: Insāniyyah provides a comprehensive ethical foundation for addressing contemporary humanitarian challenges. Originality/Value: This conceptual review offers novel theoretical insights into contemporary Islamic ethics and humanities by synthesizing the evolving literature on Insāniyyah as a divinely grounded model of humanism, an area that remains underexplored in dialogue with secular humanistic thought. By mapping current conceptual gaps, this study serves as a strategic reference that contributes to developing an integrative framework for global humanitarian ethics and setting the direction for future research agendas in inter-civilizational ethics.

Abstract

Background: Imam Al-Ghazzali (1058–1111 CE), known as "Hujjat al-Islam" (The Proof of Islam), emerged during an era of intense intellectual conflict between rationalist philosophy and religious faith. Despite his profound influence on Islamic thought, a comprehensive analysis of his integrated spiritual and ethical framework remains limited in contemporary scholarship. Objectives: This study examines Imam Al-Ghazzali's contributions to Sufism, analyzing his epistemological framework for spiritual knowledge, his ethical constitution rooted in Sufi psychology, his critique of philosophy, and his integration of Sharia compliance with spiritual purification. Methods: A qualitative historical-analytical research design was employed, utilizing content analysis of primary sources, including Al-Ghazzali's autobiographical Deliverance from Error, his magnum opus The Revival of the Religious Sciences, The Criterion of Action, and The Incoherence of the Philosophers. Results: The findings reveal that Al-Ghazzali established spiritual unveiling (kashf) as a valid source of certainty alongside reason and revelation, developed a comprehensive ethical framework based on refining the psychological powers of reason, desire, and anger, and demonstrated that authentic Sufism requires strict adherence to Islamic law. Conclusion: Al-Ghazzali's synthesis created an enduring framework uniting intellectual rigor with heartfelt devotion, offering a balanced approach to faith that continues to influence Islamic spirituality and ethics. Originality/Value: This study offers substantive conceptual and interpretive novelty in the fields of Islamic philosophy, Sufism, and spiritual ethics by synthesizing primary texts to reconstruct Al Ghazzali’s multidimensional epistemological framework, specifically the rigorous reconciliation between legal orthodoxy, rational discernment, and mystical intuition (kashf), which has frequently been treated in isolated fragments in modern literature. By bridging historical and methodological gaps, this research serves as a strategic reference that contributes to developing an integrated conceptual model of spiritual psychology and guiding future inquiry into the harmonization of intellectual rationality and experiential spirituality.

Abstract

  Background: Local cultural diversity in Indonesia frequently encounters tension with Islamic teachings, sparking persistent debates regarding the normative boundaries of tradition in social life. Objective: This study aims to analyze the application of the al-‘ādatu muḥakkamah legal maxim in evaluating and determining the legitimacy of local cultural practices within Islamic jurisprudence. Method: The research adopts a qualitative library-based approach using documentation techniques and thematic content analysis of authoritative ushūl al-fiqh treatises and contemporary Islamic legal literature. Results: Customary validation requires a phased evaluation mechanism comprising compliance testing against textual sources (naṣṣ), widespread applicability, consistent social implementation, and the realization of public interest (maṣlaḥah). Cultural practices fulfilling these parameters constitute valid customs (‘urf ṣaḥīḥ), whereas those infringing upon core dogma and explicit prohibitions represent corrupt customs (‘urf fāsid). Conclusion: The al-‘ādatu muḥakkamah maxim serves as an adaptive and selective legal instrument, effectively reconciling normative religious doctrines with the sociological dynamics of a pluralistic society. Originality/Value: This review provides conceptual and methodological novelty in Islamic legal philosophy and sociology by synthesizing the literature on the systematic operationalization of al-‘ādatu muḥakkamah to assess Indonesian customs an area historically lacking a formalized, phased evaluation framework. It delivers an integrated diagnostic model that informs both academic research agendas and culturally sensitive religious policy-making.

Abstract

Background: The Islamization of the Nusantara represents a complex process of socio-cultural transformation that extends beyond religious conversion to deeply engage with existing local traditions. Objective: This study aims to analyze the cultural da'wah strategies employed by the Wali Songo in Java, focusing on their use of cultural media, processes of acculturation, community acceptance, and the contemporary relevance of their peaceful approach. Method: The study utilizes a qualitative library research method by conducting a content analysis of historical literature, authoritative books, and peer-reviewed journal articles concerning Wali Songo's proselytization methods. Results: The findings reveal that Wali Songo's success stemmed from integrating Islamic values into local traditions through cultural adaptation, social negotiation, and community participation. Rather than replacing indigenous customs, they reinterpreted local arts, language, rituals, and educational institutions into media for Islamic teachings, thereby fostering gradual acceptance, cultural continuity, and social cohesion. Conclusion: Wali Songo's cultural da'wah operates as an integrated framework encompassing cultural adaptation, community acceptance, religious communication, educational development, and socio-religious transformation. Originality/Value: This review article offers distinct conceptual and historiographical novelty in the fields of Islamic history and sociology of religion by synthesizing scholarly literature on Wali Songo's cultural da'wah strategies, which have frequently been treated within fragmented or semi-mythological narratives. By bridging current theoretical and methodological gaps, this study serves as a strategic reference contributing to the development of an integrated conceptual model of transformative acculturation and guiding future agendas in culturally responsive religious moderation across pluralistic societies.

Abstract

Background: The Qur’an presents a tahaddī by challenging humanity to produce a text comparable to it. Classical scholarship has primarily interpreted this challenge through the Qur’an’s linguistic excellence, literary inimitability, and depth of meaning. However, the visual and structural dimensions of the Qur’anic text have received limited systematic investigation. Objective; This study aims to examine whether the symmetrical and ordered structures of three Mushaf traditions, namely the Alifī, Husrev, and Hunsarī Mushafs, provide an additional perspective for understanding tahaddī. Method: A qualitative visual structural approach was employed using the K1, K2, and K3 method. The analysis focused on a purposive sample of Surah al Baqarah verses 164 to 247 to identify line symmetry, vertical alignment, and mirror page structures across the three Mushaf models. Result: The findings show that the Alifī Mushaf achieves 99.97%-line symmetry, the Husrev Mushaf demonstrates 99.8%-page internal alignment, and the Hunsarī Mushaf maintains 100% mirror symmetry while preserving the identical Qur’anic text. These results indicate that multiple independent visual structures can coexist without altering the textual sequence. Conclusion: The study concludes that the Qur’an may be understood not only as a text to be read but also as a visually organized text. Originality/Value: This study offers pioneering analytical and typographic novelty in the fields of Quranic studies and Islamic codicology by investigating the structural visual dimensions of mushaf layouts, an aspect historically neglected in mainstream tahaddi and inimitability scholarship. By addressing theoretical and methodological gaps through the K1, K2, and K3 visual evaluation framework, this research provides a strategic foundation that contributes to developing a conceptual model of multi dimensional textual symmetry and guiding future comparative inquiry into calligraphic design and textual preservation.

Abstract

Background: Qasidah Banat Su'ad by Ka'ab bin Zuhair is one of the most significant works of classical Arabic literature, representing the poet's transformation in attitude toward Prophet Muhammad after embracing Islam. Although the poem has been extensively examined from the perspectives of literary history, balāghah, and stylistics, studies investigating its evaluative attitude construction through Appraisal Theory remain limited. Objctive: This study aims to identify the types of attitudinal expressions, analyze patterns of evaluative attitudes, and explain how Ka'ab bin Zuhair constructs his evaluation of Prophet Muhammad in the Madīḥ section based on Martin and White's Attitude subsystem. Method: This study employed a qualitative approach using qualitative content analysis of the Arabic text in the Madīḥ section of Qasidah Banat Su'ad. Result: The findings identified 15 attitudinal expressions, consisting of one Affect (6.7%), eleven Judgement (73.3%), and three Appreciation (20.0%). The predominance of Judgement indicates that the poet constructs Prophet Muhammad as an exemplary figure characterized by leadership, courage, and moral integrity, whereas Affect and Appreciation reinforce the poet's emotional transformation and the aesthetic dimension of praise. Conclusion: The study concludes that evaluative attitude construction in the Madīḥ section is predominantly realized through moral judgments of the Prophet's character. Originality/Value: This study offers theoretical and analytical novelty at the intersection of Systemic Functional Linguistics and classical Arabic literature by examining the discursive construction of evaluative stance in madīḥ poetry, an area traditionally dominated by conventional balāghah and literary criticism. By bridging theoretical and methodological gaps through Martin and White’s Appraisal framework, this research provides a strategic contribution toward developing an integrated linguistic model for classical Arabic poetic texts and setting future research agendas in Arabic discourse semantics.
