Abstract

Imam al-Haramain al-Juwaini is widely recognized as one of the foremost intellectual figures in Islamic legal history, particularly for his contributions to the development of usul al-fiqh and the refinement of the Shafi‘i school. His magnum opus, Nihayah al-Matlab fi Dirayah al-Madhhab, is not merely a compilation of classical legal opinions, but a systematic reconstruction of legal methodology that integrates textual sources (nusus), rational reasoning (‘aql), and the objectives of Islamic law (maqasid al-shari‘ah). This article aims to examine and reconstruct al-Juwaini’s legal thought using a qualitative approach based on library research and textual analysis of both primary and secondary sources. The study employs content analysis to explore the methodological structure, legal reasoning, and contemporary relevance of al-Juwaini’s jurisprudential model. The findings reveal that al-Juwaini succeeded in establishing a dynamic yet principled legal framework rooted in the authority of divine revelation. He harmonized Ash‘arite theology with rational jurisprudence and employed tools such as analogy (qiyas), public interest (maslahah), and maqasid to address complex and disputed legal issues. His thought reflects not only the preservation of the Shafi‘i legacy but also its renewal through critical engagement with evolving social realities. This reconstruction demonstrates that al-Juwaini was both a transmitter and a reformer, whose intellectual legacy offers a valuable foundation for reviving contextual ijtihad in the modern era. Therefore, Nihayah al-Matlab should be regarded as a strategic reference for scholars seeking to develop an adaptive and principled Islamic legal system responsive to contemporary challenges.

Abstract

This article explores the significant influence of Greek philosophy on the development of Islamic theology during the medieval period. This interaction began in the Abbasid era through large-scale translation movements at Bayt al-Hikmah, which enabled the works of Plato, Aristotle, and Plotinus to enter the Islamic intellectual tradition. Muslim philosophers such as al-Kindi, al-Farabi, Ibn Sina, and Ibn Rushd not only adopted but also transformed key concepts of Greek philosophy such as the prime mover, emanation theory, and Aristotelian logic within the framework of Islamic metaphysics and theology. On the other hand, the integration of these ideas provoked critical responses from theological scholars, particularly from the Ashʿarite school and traditionalist circles, who rejected some metaphysical aspects of Greek philosophy deemed incompatible with Islamic revelation. This study employs a historical-philosophical approach and textual analysis of primary sources from both Greek philosophy and classical Islamic theology. The findings reveal that despite tensions between rationalism and scriptural authority, a constructive synthesis occurred, enriching theological argumentation. Aristotelian logic became a crucial methodological tool in the rational development of kalam within the Ashʿarite and Maturidite traditions. Moreover, the intellectual legacy of this synthesis contributed not only to the systematization of Islamic theology but also played a vital role in the transmission of knowledge to the West during the European Renaissance. This article affirms that Greek philosophy served as a dialectical partner in the construction of a dynamic Islamic intellectual tradition.

Abstract

Islamic Religious Education (IRE) has long been dominated by expository and teacher-centered approaches, which often result in weak critical thinking and insufficient internalization of Islamic values among students. This article aims to examine constructivism as an alternative pedagogical approach that promotes active, reflective, and meaningful learning in the context of IRE, through a philosophical lens grounded in Islamic education thought. This study employs a qualitative method with a library research model using descriptive-analytical and philosophical approaches. Data were collected from books, academic journal articles, and relevant and analyzed using hermeneutic interpretation and conceptual triangulation. The findings indicate that constructivist approaches in IRE empower students as active subjects in constructing their understanding of religious knowledge through experience, social interaction, and personal reflection. Strategies such as discussion, case studies, simulations, and project-based learning are proven to enhance critical thinking, contextual comprehension, and the application of Islamic ethics. Philosophically, constructivism aligns with the Islamic principles of tafakkur (contemplation), tadabbur (reflection), and the integration of intellectual and spiritual development. In conclusion, constructivism not only offers an effective pedagogical method but also supports the transformative vision of IRE in nurturing faithful, critical, and socially engaged individuals. Teacher training, curriculum development, and further research are recommended to strengthen the implementation of constructivist approaches in Islamic education.

Abstract

This article explores the dialectic between Islamic symbols and maritime culture in the architectural design of old mosques in Aceh, serving as a religious expression and local identity among coastal Muslim communities. Mosques in Aceh are not merely places of worship but also visual media that record the historical trajectory of Islamization and cultural acculturation. This study aims to reveal how architectural elements such as pillars made from repurposed ship timber, ornamental motifs of fish and waves, and the orientation of buildings facing the sea or river reflect the fusion between Islamic values and local maritime traditions. A qualitative approach is employed through field observations of several historic mosques, including Baiturrahman and Indrapuri Mosques, combined with semiotic analysis of visual symbols and spatial arrangements.The data are derived from architectural observations and historical documents such as Hikayat Aceh and Bustanussalatin. The findings indicate that dominant Islamic symbols have creatively merged with local elements, transforming the mosque into a “visual text” that conveys the values of tawḥīd, maritime identity, and ecological consciousness. The study also highlights the selective process of Islamization, where non-Islamic symbols such as mythical creatures are excluded, while neutral maritime symbols are absorbed into religious constructions. This research concludes with a call for the preservation and digital documentation of Aceh’s old mosque architecture as an integral part of Islamic Nusantara civilization.

Abstract

This article explores the critical interaction between posthumanist philosophy and the concept of khalīfah (vicegerent) in the Qur’an. Posthumanism, as a response to classical humanism, challenges the centrality and superiority of the human being by opening space for non-human agency, including machines, animals, and ecological systems. In contrast, the Islamic worldview upholds the human as khalīfah fī al-arḍ (God’s vicegerent on Earth), bearing moral and spiritual responsibility to safeguard creation. This study aims to analyze how the tension between the posthumanist decentering of the human and the Islamic affirmation of human distinction can be reconciled through an ethical framework grounded in tawḥīd and maqāṣid al-sharīʿah. By applying a historical-philosophical approach and thematic interpretation (tafsīr mawḍūʿī) of Qur’anic verses, particularly QS. Al-Baqarah 30–33, the article finds that both paradigms share common ground, especially in emphasizing the interconnectedness of humans, nature, and technology. While posthumanism stresses ecological responsibility, the Islamic concept of khalīfah may be expanded as a moral foundation to guide technological development for the welfare of all creation. This article argues for the urgent need to develop an Islamic ethics of technology and renew Islamic legal thought (fiqh) to face the posthuman era in a balanced and contextually relevant manner.

Abstract

The death penalty in Islam is a complex and ongoing issue, especially in light of contemporary human rights discourse. This article critically examines the theological foundations of capital punishment in Islamic sacred texts, such as the Qur’an and Hadith, focusing on its application in the contexts of qishash, hudud, and taʿzir. On the other hand, it explores the tension between the implementation of Islamic criminal law and global human rights principles, particularly the right to life as protected by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the ICCPR. The research employs a normative-legal and contextual hermeneutical approach, combined with a comparative analysis of the implementation of the death penalty in Muslim-majority countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Indonesia. The findings indicate that although Islam provides theological legitimacy for the death penalty, its application is conditional, procedural, and open to reinterpretation based on humanitarian objectives through the framework of maqāṣid al-sharīʿah. Furthermore, there is a growing trend among contemporary Muslim scholars to reassess the death penalty within a framework of substantive justice and current socio-political contexts. The article recommends a reform of Islamic criminal law grounded in restorative justice, victim rights, and protection against judicial errors. Thus, Islamic law can uphold its normative integrity while remaining responsive to evolving universal values.

Abstract

Abstract The mental health crisis is one of the major challenges in the modern era, marked by the rising prevalence of stress, anxiety, and depression. Conventional psychological approaches such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) have proven effective, yet their limitation lies in the absence of a spiritual dimension, which is essential for religious communities. This article aims to explore and offer Islamic mindfulness as an integrative, value-based alternative approach. Employing a qualitative descriptive method through library research, this study draws on academic literature published between 2018 and 2025 to construct a conceptual and practical framework of Islamic mindfulness rooted in Sufi principles such as muraqabah, muhasabah, dhikr, and tafakkur. The findings indicate that Islamic mindfulness is grounded in strong theological sources from the Qur’an and Hadith, and is applicable within modern psychotherapy, particularly for Muslim patients seeking spiritually congruent treatment. Recent studies show that Islamic mindfulness interventions can reduce symptoms of depression, increase inner peace, and strengthen spiritual resilience. Its integration with CBT demonstrates a high level of compatibility, presenting a promising opportunity to develop culturally grounded therapies with a holistic approach. Islamic mindfulness is not merely a substitute for Western methods, but rather a form of psychological recovery deeply rooted in divine consciousness and transcendent spirituality. Further standardized and large-scale research is needed to validate its effectiveness across diverse clinical and socio-cultural settings.

Abstract

The phenomenon of hijab street style reflects a significant shift in the meaning of the hijab from a symbol of religious piety to a dynamic medium of self-expression within the context of popular culture and the modern fashion industry. This study critically examines how the hijab is positioned within Indonesia’s modest fashion landscape and how religious values are represented and commodified through visual aesthetics on social media. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through visual documentation from Instagram, TikTok, and Muslim fashion catalogs, as well as in-depth interviews with designers, influencers, and hijab-wearing consumers. The analysis applied both visual and narrative techniques, grounded in theories of religious commodification and social identity. The findings reveal that hijab street style serves as a negotiation space between religiosity, market taste, and aesthetic aspirations. The urban hijab styles popularized by influencers not only reinforce religious identity but also reflect social pressure to appear both fashionable and “shar’i.” The commodification of hijab as a fashion product has created new standards of piety heavily shaped by market logic and social media algorithms. While this trend opens new avenues for the empowerment of Muslim women, it also poses ethical dilemmas regarding the reduction of spiritual meaning. The study recommends a critical reflection on the interplay between religion, identity, and visual consumption in contemporary Muslim culture.

Abstract

Digital transformation has fundamentally reshaped the landscape of social interaction and religious expression among Muslims. In this context, the virtual space serves not only as a medium of communication but also as a dynamic arena for constructing new forms of religious identity. This article aims to analyze the ethical challenges and opportunities faced by Muslims in the digital world through a descriptive qualitative approach based on library research. The study focuses on two main dimensions: interpersonal challenges such as the spread of hoaxes, digital backbiting (ghibah), and the ethics of virtual hijab and spiritual challenges, including social media addiction, virtual worship, and digital distraction. Using the framework of maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, the research reveals that many digital behaviors of Muslims are not yet fully aligned with Islamic ethical principles such as tabayyun (verification), amānah (trustworthiness), ḥifẓ al-ʿirdh (protection of dignity), and adab (etiquette). These findings highlight the urgent need to reconstruct a digital ethics rooted in Islamic values to address the complexities of the modern era. Furthermore, this article proposes ethical principles such as digital amar maʿrūf nahi munkar, online social responsibility, and privacy protection as normative foundations for shaping contemporary Muslim digital ethics. In practice, these values can be applied in digital da'wah, virtual communication, and Sharia-compliant online business. This study is expected to enrich contemporary Islamic ethical discourse and contribute to building a digitally literate Muslim society that is socially just, morally grounded, and oriented toward falāḥ (ultimate success).

Abstract

The advancement of information technology and the transformation of digital culture have significantly influenced the religious behavior of young Muslims in Indonesia. Amid the massive and diverse flow of information, Islamic literacy has emerged as a strategic necessity to build an inclusive, contextual, and moderate understanding of Islam. This article aims to examine the dynamics of Islamic literacy movements among the younger generation from 2018 to 2025, using a descriptive qualitative approach based on library research. The findings show that Islamic literacy is no longer limited to the ability to read classical religious texts but has evolved into a cultural movement that integrates textual understanding, critical thinking, and the use of digital media as a space for religious expression. Various initiatives have emerged, including communities, podcasts, digital pesantren, and youth forums that actively produce and disseminate inclusive and reflective Islamic discourse. Islamic literacy plays a vital role in strengthening the religious identity of young Muslims, countering radicalism, and expanding interfaith dialogue. Future strategies to enhance this movement involve collaboration between academics, literacy activists, and Muslim influencers, as well as the optimal use of digital technology grounded in the values of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. Strengthening Islamic literacy equips the younger Muslim generation to become agents of change who uphold the values of Islam rahmatan lil-‘ālamīn in a pluralistic society and within the challenges of the digital era.
