Abstract

Contemporary environmental degradation has intensified debates on how Islamic teachings on stewardship align or conflict with modern consumption patterns in Muslim-majority societies. Although the Qur’anic concept of khalifah positions humans as responsible caretakers of the earth, everyday consumer practices often reflect excess, materialism, and resource exploitation—revealing a gap between normative Islamic ethics and lived behaviors. This tension raises important questions regarding how Islamic environmental principles are interpreted, negotiated, and applied within modern consumer cultures. The study aims to analyze the extent to which Islamic principles of environmental sustainability—such as moderation (wasatiyyah), avoidance of waste (israf), and ecological stewardship—can be reconciled with prevailing consumption patterns influenced by globalization, digital markets, and lifestyle aspirations. The research also seeks to identify the cognitive, theological, and socio-cultural factors shaping Muslims’ ecological attitudes. A qualitative approach was employed using semi-structured interviews with Islamic scholars, educators, and urban Muslim consumers in Indonesia, complemented by textual analysis of classical and contemporary Islamic literature on environmental ethics. Thematic analysis was conducted to compare doctrinal ideals with empirical consumer behaviors. Findings reveal a strong theoretical foundation for sustainable living within Islamic teachings, yet significant inconsistencies remain between religious norms and actual consumer practices. Participants acknowledged environmental responsibilities but felt constrained by social expectations, market pressures, and limited institutional guidance. The study concludes that reconciling Islamic environmental ethics with modern consumption requires strengthening eco-theological literacy, promoting structural incentives for sustainable choices, and reinterpreting religious teachings in ways that resonate with contemporary lifestyles.

Abstract

Background. The rapid growth of social media platforms has reshaped the way religious content is disseminated, particularly among younger audiences. TikTok, as one of the most popular social media platforms, has emerged as a significant space for Islamic influencers to engage in dakwah (Islamic preaching), reaching millions globally. Purpose. The study aims to investigate how influencers maintain the balance between religious teachings and the entertainment-driven nature of TikTok, and how this balance impacts the perception of authenticity among their followers. Method. A mixed-methods approach, including content analysis, interviews, and surveys, was used to gather data from 10 prominent Islamic influencers and 100 followers. Results. The findings show that influencers who incorporate personal stories, humor, and cultural references into their dakwah are perceived as more authentic, while maintaining audience engagement. However, challenges related to the commercial nature of TikTok and the potential compromise of religious depth were also identified Conclusion. This study concludes that TikTok offers a unique platform for Islamic dakwah, but it requires careful navigation of digital authenticity and content integrity to maintain credibility.

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.

Abstract

Background. The development of Islamic law in Indonesia reflects ongoing efforts to reconcile normative fiqh with social realities within a plural legal system. The concept of social fiqh has emerged as a dynamic approach that emphasizes public interest, contextual reasoning, and responsiveness to societal change, particularly in the domains of criminal and civil law. Purpose. This study aims to analyze comparatively how social fiqh informs the formulation and implementation of Islamic criminal law and civil law regulations in Indonesia, and to assess its contribution to legal reform. Method. The research employs a qualitative comparative legal approach, combining normative analysis of statutes, court decisions, and fiqh literature with contextual analysis of socio-legal dynamics. Data are analyzed through doctrinal interpretation and comparative frameworks. Results. The findings indicate that, regardless of proficiency level, L1, FLCA, or FLE level, learners prefer more explicit OCF techniques, such as metalinguistics feedback and explicit correction. However, Korean undergraduates scored lower in the majority of OCF strategies (i.e., ignoring, elicitation, recast, explanation, and public feedback) compared to the other participants. Conclusion. The findings indicate that social fiqh plays a more explicit and flexible role in civil law regulations, facilitating adaptation to social needs, legal pluralism, and state law. In contrast, its influence on criminal law remains limited and cautious, constrained by positivist legal principles, human rights considerations, and political sensitivity.

Abstract

Background. Legal pluralism has intensified global debates concerning the relationship between indigenous customary justice systems and universal human rights norms. Efforts to codify customary penal systems increasingly generate tensions regarding cultural autonomy, legal legitimacy, and human dignity. Indigenous sanctions are often grounded in communitarian conceptions of justice that emphasize restoration, reconciliation, and collective responsibility, whereas international human rights frameworks prioritize individual rights, procedural fairness, and equality before the law. Purpose. This study aims to examine the epistemic foundations underlying these tensions and explore how competing legal knowledge systems influence the codification of customary penal systems. Method. A qualitative socio-legal research design was employed through document analysis, comparative case examination, thematic coding, and interpretive analysis of legal texts, policy documents, judicial decisions, and scholarly literature concerning customary law and human rights. Results. Findings reveal that conflicts emerging during codification processes are primarily epistemological rather than purely legal in nature. Differences in conceptions of justice, authority, accountability, and social order significantly shape perceptions of legitimacy among indigenous communities, state institutions, and human rights actors. Participatory legal reforms incorporating indigenous perspectives were found to reduce normative tensions and improve acceptance of codified legal frameworks. Conclusion. The study concludes that sustainable legal integration requires recognition of epistemic diversity alongside commitments to fundamental human rights protections. Constructive dialogue between indigenous legal traditions and universal human rights frameworks offers a pathway toward more inclusive and culturally responsive legal governance in pluralistic societies.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of TikTok as a dominant social media platform has transformed how Islamic messages circulate and how young Muslims construct religious identity. The rise of TikTok preachers—often young, charismatic, and digitally fluent—has introduced new forms of “digital dakwah” that blend religious discourse with entertainment, lifestyle aesthetics, and algorithmic amplification. This phenomenon raises critical questions about how Islamic teachings are framed, simplified, or commodified within fast-paced digital cultures, and how such virality shapes the religious orientations of millennial Muslim audiences. This study aims to analyze the discursive strategies used by TikTok preachers and examine how their content contributes to the formation, negotiation, or contestation of millennial Muslim identity. The research focuses on identifying linguistic patterns, thematic frames, and visual narratives that construct what may be described as “halal virality”—religious messages optimized for algorithmic spread. A qualitative discourse analysis was employed, drawing on multimodal samples from 30 high-engagement TikTok accounts. Data were examined through Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis framework, supported by audience comment analysis to understand reception patterns. Coding focused on authority construction, moral positioning, identity markers, and algorithmic cues embedded in the content. Findings reveal that digital preachers construct authority not primarily through traditional scholarly credentials but through relatability, emotional resonance, and aesthetic presentation. The discourse often simplifies complex theological issues into motivational soundbites, fostering a form of identity that is highly expressive, individualized, and platform-shaped. The study concludes that TikTok-based dakwah significantly influences millennial Muslim identity by merging religious meaning-making with digital performativity, commercial logics, and algorithmic trends.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital education has transformed traditional modes of Islamic learning, prompting pesantren-based institutions to explore new pedagogical models for teaching classical texts. This study emerges from the growing need to bridge the epistemic gap between conventional kitab kuning instruction—rooted in oral transmission, close reading, and teacher-centered guidance—and contemporary learners who increasingly rely on interactive, multimedia-rich environments. The research aims to analyze how interactive digital media can be adapted to support the cognitive, linguistic, and hermeneutical demands of classical Islamic texts within a “Cyber-Pesantren” framework. Using a qualitative design supported by descriptive content analysis, the study examines a prototype cyber-pesantren platform incorporating annotated text readers, multimodal explanations, adaptive questioning, and collaborative discussion tools. Data were collected through expert reviews, user testing with students from Islamic higher education, and thematic coding of learner interaction logs. The results indicate that interactive media enhance text comprehension, strengthen vocabulary acquisition, and facilitate contextual interpretation of complex passages. Students also reported improved motivation and autonomy, although challenges remain regarding digital distraction, content authenticity, and maintaining the depth of traditional scholarly practices. The study concludes that a Cyber-Pesantren model is pedagogically viable when grounded in classical methodologies while leveraging digital interactivity to support structured reading, guided interpretation, and peer engagement. These findings highlight the potential for hybrid models that preserve tradition while responding to contemporary digital learning needs.

Abstract

Background. The global discourse on STEM education frequently centers on secular, utilitarian objectives. However, in Muslim-majority nations like Malaysia, there is a significant movement towards the “Islamization of Knowledge,” which seeks to integrate theological principles with modern science. This initiative stems from a perceived disconnect between secular scientific pedagogy and the foundational Islamic worldview (Tawhid). This study addresses the gap in understanding how these Tawhidic values are practically embedded within the official Malaysian secondary school science curriculum.. Purpose. This study aims to critically analyze the Malaysian secondary science curriculum (KSSM) to identify, map, and evaluate the extent and method of Tawhidic value integration in STEM subjects. The objective is to determine how the philosophical goal of “Islamizing STEM” is translated into pedagogical content and instructional guides for educators. Method. A qualitative content analysis design was employed. The primary data consisted of official curriculum documents, including syllabi and textbooks for Form 1-5 Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. The analysis utilized a researcher-developed coding framework based on established models of Tawhidic integration in science. This framework was applied to identify explicit, implicit, and omitted instances of value integration. Results. The analysis reveals that Tawhidic integration is present but predominantly implicit and superficial. Integration is largely confined to introductory chapters or “enrichment” sidebars, often as simple Qur’anic verses related to natural phenomena. The core scientific content (e.g., mechanics, evolution, chemical processes) largely remains a discrete, secular domain. A significant gap exists between the curriculum’s stated philosophical aims and its practical, assessable content. Conclusion. While the Malaysian curriculum aspires to Islamize STEM, its current iteration achieves only a marginal integration of Tawhidic values. This creates a “dual-narrative” curriculum, failing to achieve a genuine epistemic synthesis. To be effective, integration must move from peripheral references to a structural embedding within core scientific concepts and pedagogical practices.
