Abstract

The rapid circulation of misinformation in digital spaces has intensified concerns about “digital fitna,” a term used to describe the spread of deceptive content that distorts religious understanding and destabilizes social cohesion within Muslim online communities. The increasing prevalence of hoaxes, manipulated religious narratives, and misattributed hadith on social media highlights the urgent need for Islamic digital literacy that equips users with both critical thinking skills and authentic religious knowledge. The phenomenon poses serious risks to communal harmony, public trust, and the integrity of Islamic teachings in the digital age. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of hoax-detection skills and the level of Islamic digital literacy among online Muslim communities, with a focus on assessing how users evaluate, verify, and respond to religious misinformation. The research also seeks to identify demographic, cognitive, and behavioral factors that influence susceptibility to digital fitna. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys of 312 active Muslim social media users with qualitative interviews involving digital da‘i, Islamic educators, and community moderators. Quantitative data assessed literacy levels and detection accuracy, while qualitative data explored perceptions of misinformation, verification practices, and challenges in navigating religious content online. Findings reveal that while awareness of digital misinformation is relatively high, actual hoax-detection accuracy remains moderate, with only 47% of participants consistently identifying false religious claims. Higher literacy scores are strongly correlated with formal religious education and prior media-literacy training. The study concludes that strengthening Islamic digital literacy requires integrated interventions combining religious authority, technological competence, and community-based verification practices.

Abstract

Patriarchal norms continue to shape socio-religious expectations for Muslim women in Southeast Asia, particularly in Malaysia, where debates around gender, authority, and piety intersect within civil society spaces. Islamic feminist discourse has gained increasing visibility in recent years, yet questions remain regarding how women leaders in Muslim-majority contexts negotiate religious legitimacy while challenging gendered power structures. Malaysian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) provide an important arena for examining the everyday strategies through which women navigate patriarchal constraints and articulate faith-based approaches to gender justice. This study aims to investigate how women leaders in Malaysian Islamic-oriented NGOs engage with Islamic feminist discourse to negotiate authority, cultivate legitimacy, and advance transformative social agendas. The research seeks to identify the discursive, religious, and organizational strategies that enable or hinder women’s leadership within patriarchal environments. A qualitative case-study approach was employed, drawing on in-depth interviews with fifteen female NGO leaders, participant observation of organizational activities, and document analysis of mission statements, program materials, and public advocacy texts. Data were analyzed using thematic coding informed by feminist theory, Islamic gender ethics, and discourse analysis. Findings reveal that women leaders strategically mobilize Qur’anic principles, prophetic narratives, and concepts of justice to challenge patriarchal interpretations while maintaining religious credibility. Participants reported using relational leadership styles, community-based legitimacy, and interpretive flexibility to navigate gendered expectations. The study concludes that Islamic feminist discourse serves as both a protective shield and a transformative tool, enabling women to assert leadership within constraints while promoting more inclusive understandings of Islam in civil society.

Abstract

Female Muslim legislators have become increasingly visible in the political landscapes of several Muslim-majority countries, including Indonesia and Turkey, where shifting democratic norms and evolving interpretations of Islamic gender ethics shape women’s participation in governance. Despite expanded representation, questions remain regarding how these women influence gender-inclusive policymaking and how their political strategies differ across distinct socio-religious and institutional contexts. Understanding these dynamics is essential for analyzing the broader transformation of Muslim women’s political agency in contemporary Muslim democracies. This study aims to compare the roles, strategies, and policy impacts of female Muslim legislators in Indonesia and Turkey by examining how they navigate religious discourse, party structures, and political constraints while advocating for gender-inclusive reforms. The research seeks to identify convergences and divergences in their legislative behavior, institutional challenges, and use of Islamic arguments in political debates. A qualitative comparative political analysis was conducted using parliamentary documents, policy archives, and twenty semi-structured interviews with legislators, political advisors, and civil-society actors from both countries. The analysis employed thematic coding and cross-case comparison to evaluate how religious identity intersects with political participation and legislative outcomes. Findings reveal that Indonesian female Muslim legislators tend to mobilize pluralist Islamic narratives and civil-society alliances to strengthen gender advocacy, whereas their Turkish counterparts often navigate more centralized party systems and heightened ideological polarization. Both groups, however, strategically employ Islamic ethical frameworks to legitimize gender-inclusive policies. The study concludes that female Muslim legislators play a crucial role in transforming gender governance in Muslim-majority democracies, though the extent of their influence remains shaped by national political structures.

Abstract

Baground. The rapid rise of social media platforms, particularly TikTok and Instagram, has significantly transformed Islamic preaching (dakwah) in Indonesia. These platforms, known for their viral nature, provide a unique space for religious figures to engage with a broader audience, challenging traditional forms of religious authority and authenticity. However, the democratization of religious content on these platforms raises questions about the reliability and authenticity of the messages shared. Purpose. This study aims to investigate how TikTok and Instagram influence Islamic preaching, religious authority, and the authenticity of religious content in Indonesia. Method. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combines content analysis of religious posts with surveys of 300 social media users to explore their engagement patterns, perceptions of authority, and trust in the content. Results. The findings reveal that TikTok users engage more with entertaining, short-form religious content, while Instagram users prefer longer, more scholarly posts. Additionally, non-traditional religious figures, particularly on TikTok, gain significant trust based on engagement rather than formal credentials. Conclucion. The study concludes that social media has reshaped the landscape of Islamic preaching, highlighting the need for new frameworks to assess religious authenticity and authority in the digital age.

Abstract

Background. Understanding the meaning of legal verses in the Qur’an requires a rigorous linguistic approach, as Qur’anic law is articulated through highly nuanced Arabic structures, vocabulary, and rhetorical devices. Many misinterpretations of Islamic legal texts stem from insufficient mastery of Arabic language rules, including morphology, syntax, semantics, and contextual pragmatics. Purpose. This study aims to examine how Arabic language rules function as a foundational framework for accurately interpreting the meaning of law in the Qur’an and for deriving sound legal understanding. Method. The research employs a qualitative library-based methodology, utilizing textual analysis of selected Qur’anic legal verses alongside classical works of Arabic grammar (na?w and ?arf), semantics, and Qur’anic exegesis. Data are analyzed through comparative and contextual analysis to identify the relationship between linguistic rules and legal interpretation. Results. The findings demonstrate that Arabic grammatical structures, semantic precision, and rhetorical patterns play a decisive role in determining legal meaning, scope, and implication within Qur’anic texts. Variations in case endings, verb forms, and syntactic constructions significantly influence legal interpretation and normative conclusions. Conclusion. The study concludes that mastery of Arabic language rules is not supplementary but essential for understanding Qur’anic law, as linguistic competence safeguards legal interpretation from reductionism and textual misreading, thereby ensuring methodological accuracy in Islamic legal studies.
