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.
