Abstract

This article explores the intersection between mathematics and arabesque art in mosque ornamentation as a visual expression of the Islamic principle of tawhid. Employing a qualitative approach, the study combines visual and textual analyses of geometric patterns in classical mosques with philological examinations of Islamic scientific manuscripts. The findings reveal that arabesque art embodies complex mathematical structures such as fractal symmetry, the golden ratio, and tessellations, reflecting cosmic order and divine unity. Symbolic numbers like 5, 7, and 99 serve not only aesthetic purposes but also spiritual pedagogy. This art is not merely decorative but rich in cosmological and theological meaning. Classical Islamic artists integrated mathematical logic with Sufi spirituality to create transcendent visual forms. The symbolism of shapes such as circles and stars signifies the connection between the empirical world and metaphysical reality. Thus, arabesque should be interpreted as a visual revelation uniting science, art, and faith. The study suggests the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in Islamic art studies and highlights the potential for integrating geometric aesthetics into educational curricula rooted in Islamic values. Islamic visual heritage is more than a cultural legacy it reflects an epistemology in which true beauty lies in divine order.

Abstract

This article explores the silenced voices of women within the corpus of traditional Islamic texts known as kitab kuning, a field long dominated by male interpretations that often marginalize female perspectives. Employing genealogical tracing and critical ethnography, this study investigates classical manuscripts and practices in female Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) to uncover traces of women’s intellectual contributions embedded in marginalia, oral traditions, and gender-specific pedagogies. Findings reveal that women are not entirely absent from Islamic knowledge production, but rather systematically marginalized through the structural mechanisms of canon formation. Texts often assumed to be gender-neutral in fact carry ideological underpinnings that sustain patriarchal dominance. Yet, silence within the texts can also be interpreted as a form of symbolic resistance, signaling women’s presence in unexpected ways. A gender-sensitive rereading of kitab kuning opens up possibilities for reconstructing more just and inclusive narratives. This study recommends the deconstruction of traditional religious canons and the integration of feminist hermeneutics into Islamic education, as a means to create interpretative spaces that respond to women's lived experiences. Thus, the legacy of kitab kuning is not merely textual but demands epistemological critique in pursuit of a more equitable Islamic thought.

Abstract

This study explores the phenomenon of prayer reminder applications among Generation Z within the context of digital religiosity transformation. The rapid advancement of digital technology, particularly smartphones, has introduced new forms of spiritual engagement, including "micro-spirituality" and notification-based religious practices. Using a mixed-methods approach, this research combines a survey of 500 application users aged 15–25 and in-depth interviews with 20 intensive users. Content analysis was also conducted on ten of the most popular prayer reminder apps in Indonesia, along with observations of related online discussion forums. The findings reveal a high frequency of app usage, especially features like prayer reminders, daily dhikr, and fasting schedules. While these apps enhance religious discipline, they also give rise to the phenomenon of “checklist spirituality,” which may diminish the reflective essence of worship. Moreover, dependence on digital notifications can lead to spiritual distractions and psychological challenges such as fear of missing out (FOMO). This study underscores the necessity of designing more adaptive, contextual, and ethically grounded religious applications to meet the challenges of mediated religion. The implications highlight the need to integrate spiritual authenticity with technological sophistication in shaping a new form of religiosity that retains essential values in contemporary Islamic practice.

Abstract

This article reinterprets the concept of ummatan wasathan, which is often understood within a normative framework of religious moderation. Employing a qualitative approach that integrates classical Islamic text analysis, ethnographic observation, and contemporary case studies, this study examines the multiple meanings of wasathiyah in Indonesia’s multicultural Muslim society. The findings reveal three dominant interpretations of wasathiyah: normative-textual, contextual-progressive, and pragmatic-political. These variants compete in shaping public Islamic discourse, often resulting in conflict and limited inclusivity. Although presented as a middle path, wasathiyah discourse is frequently used as a tool of power to legitimize authority and marginalize dissenting voices. The article highlights the necessity of reimagining a more inclusive Islam by expanding interpretive space around wasathiyah, making it more reflective of contemporary Muslim social realities. By recognizing pluralism as an inevitable fact, the study recommends developing a more dialogical religious education model and a flexible Islamic framework that embraces diversity. This research contributes to the Islamic discourse by offering a new perspective on moderation, viewing it not as a fixed ideology but as a dynamic, plural, and context-sensitive process.

Abstract

This article explores the intersection of feminism and classical Islamic jurisprudence by uncovering the silenced voices of women hidden within patriarchal-dominated scholarly traditions. Employing a deconstructive, genealogical, and feminist ethnographic approach, the study reveals the existence of fiqh manuscripts authored or interpolated by female scholars, often disguised through metaphors, poetry, and narratives. These findings challenge the notion that women lacked contribution in classical fiqh by demonstrating that their marginalization was a result of structural suppression rather than absence. The discussion delves into the anatomy of silencing within Islamic knowledge traditions, subversive strategies employed by women, and the potential for reinterpreting fiqh through a gendered lens in the contemporary context. The study further underscores the need to reconstruct traditional fiqh curricula based on gender justice, paving the way for a more inclusive Islamic discourse. This article makes a significant contribution to the revival of female narratives in classical Islamic scholarship and supports the advancement of contextual and progressive Islamic feminist thought.

Abstract

This article explores the urgency of renewing interpretive methodologies of religious texts within today’s multicultural society. By observing religious practices in three culturally and religiously diverse communities, this study integrates contextual hermeneutics with socio-historical analysis. The findings reveal varying community responses to alternative readings rooted in local wisdom and the objectives of Islamic law (maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah). On one hand, such approaches bridge the gap between scripture and contemporary realities; on the other, they provoke resistance among traditionalists concerned with the risks of relativism. Contextual interpretation serves not only as an epistemological bridge between religious values and cultural diversity, but also as a gateway to more inclusive religious practices. The article emphasizes the need for collaborative strategies among scholars, religious leaders, and policymakers to enhance interpretive literacy and strengthen adaptive religious ethics. Methodological reform is thus not merely an academic issue but a strategic measure to maintain social cohesion amid globalization. Consequently, reinterpreting sacred texts through a contextual lens offers a balanced pathway that preserves tradition while ensuring contemporary relevance.

Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of dream interpretation among Generation Z, which has undergone a significant transformation in the digital era. With the widespread use of platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and dream interpretation apps, young people are increasingly moving away from classical methods based on traditional Islamic texts and religious authorities. This research applies a qualitative approach through digital content analysis, a survey of 200 respondents aged 15–25, and case studies on five popular dream interpretation applications. The findings reveal that dream interpretation patterns are dominated by modern symbols such as social media, gadgets, and popular psychology. Approximately 68% of respondents prefer digital interpretations over consultations with religious scholars, and there is a rise in trends such as "instant interpretation" via chatbots or Google search. On the other hand, the prevalence of negative interpretations can trigger spiritual anxiety. These findings suggest that digital platforms are not only reshaping how Gen Z understands dreams but are also reconstructing religious experiences to be more personal and immediate, albeit with the risk of spiritual misinformation. This study recommends fostering digital literacy and developing credible Islamic content to address this phenomenon educationally.

Abstract

This article explores Islamic homeschooling as a form of resistance to the dominance of mainstream education in Indonesia. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the adoption of Islamic-based homeschooling among urban and rural Muslim families. This shift is driven by dissatisfaction with the formal education system, which is often seen as overly secular, standardized, and lacking in spiritual integration. Using a qualitative approach, the study conducted case analyses of ten families practicing Islamic homeschooling in various cities, supported by in-depth interviews and document analysis of curricula and teaching materials. Findings indicate that learning models in Islamic homeschooling are highly creative and contextual, integrating Qur’anic memorization with real-life Islamic projects and curricula tailored to children’s innate disposition (fitrah). Despite challenges such as limited facilities and concerns over socialization, practitioners employ alternative strategies including learning communities and collaborative activities. The article highlights the concept of "Islamic Merdeka Belajar," aiming for holistic education that balances worldly knowledge and spiritual development. Looking ahead, Islamic homeschooling holds great potential to evolve into a hybrid model that collaborates with formal institutions. These findings call for regulatory support and systemic facilitation from the state to legitimize Islamic homeschooling as a vital part of national educational transformation one that is inclusive, value-based, and character-oriented.

Abstract

The emergence of Virtual Umrah, a digitally simulated pilgrimage experience, has sparked debate in the fields of Islamic jurisprudence and contemporary spirituality. This study aims to examine the legitimacy of Virtual Umrah from an Islamic legal perspective, explore users' spiritual experiences, and analyze responses from scholars and the public. Using a qualitative approach based on literature review and secondary data analysis, the study finds that Virtual Umrah cannot substitute for physical umrah, as it fails to fulfill essential legal requirements such as travel (safar) and actual ritual performance. Nonetheless, it holds significant potential as an educational tool to prepare and enhance spiritual awareness. Most users reported increased understanding and emotional connection to religious rituals, despite limitations in sensory and social interaction. Islamic scholars offer divergent views: some consider it a valuable tool for da’wah and learning, while others express concern over a potential dilution of sacred meaning. This study also emphasizes the need for religious guidelines and ethical frameworks to ensure that such innovations do not blur the distinction between symbolic worship and legally valid rituals. Given the rise of VR/AR technologies and the spiritual preferences of the digital generation, Virtual Umrah has the potential to become an effective educational bridge toward a more meaningful real-life pilgrimage experience.

Abstract

This study explores the construction of religious identity within the phenomenon of "Straight-Line Islam" as it unfolds on social media, responding to the dynamics of religious expression in the digital era. Using a multidisciplinary approach involving critical discourse analysis, digital ethnography, and visual semiotic analysis, the research maps how Islamic narratives are shaped and communicated by online communities. The findings reveal that content creators frequently employ religious terminologies such as pure tawhid, anti-bid‘ah, and caliphate as ideological symbols to assert differentiation from other groups, thereby constructing a firm and exclusive Islamic identity. Visually, attributes like robes, niqabs, and particular flags are consistently utilized to reinforce group symbolism. The language used in digital communication tends to be persuasive and emotionally charged, amplified by algorithm-driven virality and the popularity of religious figures. This phenomenon influences followers' self-conception, strengthens online group solidarity, and sacralizes social media as a primary platform for da'wah. However, it also contributes to social segregation, intra-faith polarization, and a diminished space for inclusive religious dialogue. Therefore, this article recommends the development of digital religious literacy rooted in tolerance and collaborative engagement between scholars, educators, and religious figures to foster a healthier religious ecosystem in the digital realm.
