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.
