Abstract

This paper looks at the historical contributions of Khaliq Ahmad Nizami, one of the most significant Indian Muslim scholars of the twentieth century. His writings on Indo-Islamic history, especially Sufism and Muslim political institutions, are essential in Islamic studies. By examining Nizami’s important texts, this study explores how his way of writing Islamic history combines ethical, spiritual, and interpretive aspects. These aspects challenge the prevailing secular or orientalist views often found in postcolonial South Asian history. The paper argues that Nizami’s approach does more than just record events. It seeks to recover the moral and intellectual energy of Islamic traditions through careful readings of Persian sources, biographies, and political stories. Using a qualitative, interpretive method, the research emphasizes Nizami’s focus on Sufi ideals like ikhlāṣ (sincerity) and adab (moral behavior) as significant historical forces. This highlights the ethical actions of Muslim individuals in medieval India. While recognizing the limits of his focus and geographical range, the study confirms that Nizami’s ideas remain important for today’s discussions in Islamic history. It wraps up with suggestions for future research that could expand on Nizami’s work, creating more spiritually sensitive and ethically based stories about Islamic history.

Abstract

This article examines Ibn Khaldun’s educational thought through an exploration of his biography, intellectual background, and the theoretical framework underlying his ideas on educational objectives, curriculum, and teaching methods. The study reveals that Ibn Khaldun’s life journey divided into four significant periods had a profound influence on the development of his intellectual outlook, particularly during his period of isolation (‘uzlah), which resulted in the composition of Muqaddimah, a foundational work in social and educational thought. According to Ibn Khaldun, education has multidimensional aims: developing intellectual capacity, enhancing social quality, and perfecting spirituality. The curriculum he formulated encompasses linguistic sciences, transmitted (naqlī) sciences, and rational (‘aqlī) sciences, all arranged proportionally and adaptively in response to social change. Meanwhile, his proposed teaching methodology emphasizes a gradual learning process, avoidance of indoctrination, and rejection of any form of coercion in education. This study concludes that Ibn Khaldun’s educational thought is comprehensive, systematic, and highly relevant to the development of modern Islamic education, as it emphasizes habituation, guidance, and holistic personality formation.

Abstract

Islam is a broad and comprehensive religion that continues to evolve to meet the demands of the modern world. Muslims today face new challenges and opportunities in a society shaped by technology, global relations, and diversity. This journal examines how Islam, which represents a collection of ideas and ways of life, addresses contemporary issues such as democracy, human rights, gender equality, the environment, and technological advancement. With a comprehensive analytical approach, this study shows how Islam is flexible and remains key in overcoming modern problems while maintaining its basic principles. The integration of Islamic principles with the demands of the modern world is highly dependent on the concepts of ijtihad, maqasid sharia, and wasathiyyah (moderation). The results of this study indicate the need for a new interpretation of modern Islam that continues to respect its basic values, as well as the need for dialogue between tradition and contemporary society to create a progressive and inclusive Islamic society.

Abstract

The work delves into the fascinating origin and history of the Turks, tracing the evolution of civilizations from nomadic societies to established civilizations. This transformation is an important aspect of human history reflecting the shift from a nomadic way of life to settled societies. The primary focus of this journey is on The Xiang nu who transitioned from a stateless existence to a powerful macro_ polity and are considered the forbearers of the Turks. This transition from statelessness to establishing a macro polity is here the intricate and nuanced narrative of the Turks’ beginning to take shape. The Xiang nu served as a crucial bridge for them, it not only laid the groundwork for the Turkic civilization but also contributed significantly to the broader narrative of Eurasian history. The work then delves into the subsequent division of the Turks into two distinct branches. It briefly touches on the political structure of the Turks, illuminating how they governed themselves with the primary focus on the function of their head “Khan or Khagan”.

Abstract

Islamic literature has always relied heavily on the biography (Sira) of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ). Every facet of his fortunate life has been meticulously documented by both early and later biographers, creating a beautiful body of classical literature. Different methods, styles, and techniques have been used in this setting. One of the most popular of them, referred to in contemporary terms as Fiqh al-Sirah, draws legal teachings and consequences from events in the Prophet's life. Notable scholars including Ibn Kathir (d. 774 AH), al-Maqrizi (d. 845 AH), al-Qastallani (d. 923 AH), al-Shami (d. 942 AH), al-Halabi (d. 1044 AH), and al-Zurqani (d. 1122 AH) are among those whose writings demonstrate this characteristic. Both the Makkan and Madinan periods of the Prophet's life are covered by the legal conclusions drawn by these scholars, which cover the religious, social, political, and economic facets of a Muslim's behaviour. Furthermore, in their deliberate application of Usul al-Hadith and Usul al-Fiqh, these biographers have drawn conclusions from the Sira accounts. The purpose of this study is to examine the approach taken in this respect by classical and subsequent Sira writers.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the dynamics of Islamic judiciary during the kingdom and sultanate era in Indonesia, from the period of Islam's entry to the Dutch colonial era. The method used is library research by analyzing historical sources, legal documents, and relevant academic literature. The results show that Islamic judicial institutions in various Nusantara sultanates had diverse structures and authorities, ranging from courts led directly by the sultan, qadhi, to the council of ulama. Major sultanates such as Aceh, Demak, Mataram Islam, Ternate, and Gowa-Tallo had well-established Islamic judicial systems governing various aspects of community life, including civil, criminal, and religious affairs. The dynamics of Islamic judiciary underwent development and transformation with the arrival of Dutch colonial influence, which gradually restricted the scope of Islamic judicial authority. This research contributes to the understanding of Islamic legal history in Indonesia as part of the Islamic civilization heritage of the Nusantara.

Abstract

The Safavid and Mughal dynasties were two major Islamic powers that played important roles in shaping the political, religious, and cultural development of the Islamic world during the medieval period. However, previous studies have generally discussed both dynasties separately and predominantly through descriptive historical approaches. This study aims to analyze the relationship between religion and power in the Safavid and Mughal dynasties from the perspective of Islamic politics. This research employed a qualitative approach through library research. The data sources consisted of scientific articles, books, and relevant academic literature published between 2020 and 2025. Data were collected through documentation techniques and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns of religious legitimacy, political authority, and social integration within both dynasties. The findings reveal that the Safavid dynasty constructed political legitimacy through the institutionalization of Shi‘a ideology as the official state doctrine, making religion an instrument of political consolidation and identity formation. Meanwhile, the Mughal dynasty developed a more accommodative and inclusive political model by emphasizing tolerance, cultural acculturation, and social integration in a multicultural society. The study also shows that religion functioned not only as a spiritual system but also as a political instrument in shaping state authority and social order. Furthermore, differences in the relationship between religion and power in both dynasties were strongly influenced by their respective social and cultural contexts. In conclusion, the relationship between religion and power in Islamic political history was dynamic and contextual, reflecting different models of political legitimacy and governance within Islamic civilization.

Abstract

This article examines the epistemological encounter between modern academic historiography and genealogical-spiritual narratives in the history of Malay–Nusantara Islam. The study employs a qualitative approach with a historical-comparative design based on library research. Data were collected from religious manuscripts, sanad and ulama genealogical documents, Islamic historiographical works, academic archives, and reputable scholarly publications, which were analyzed using historical source criticism, discourse analysis, and Pierre Bourdieu’s sociological framework of habitus, symbolic capital, and field. The findings reveal that Malay–Nusantara Islamic historiography develops through a dual epistemology that integrates the empirical validation of academic historiography with the legitimacy of sanad and spiritual authority embedded in genealogical traditions. Academic historiography emphasizes objectivity, archival evidence, and chronological consistency, whereas genealogical narratives prioritize sanad, lineage, and collective memory as the basis of historical legitimacy. The study further demonstrates that pesantren, Sufi orders, and ulama networks function as arenas for reproducing symbolic capital that sustains genealogical historiography amid the dominance of modern epistemology. Therefore, dual epistemology offers a framework for constructing a more inclusive, multidimensional, and contextual historiography of Islam in the Malay–Nusantara world.

Abstract

The appropriateness of learning materials to students’ developmental stages constitutes a central consideration in curriculum design, including in the teaching of Islamic Cultural History (Sejarah Kebudayaan Islam / SKI) in madrasahs. Despite its importance, scholarly discussions of the SKI curriculum have predominantly centered on its normative foundations and structural composition, while relatively little attention has been paid to the extent to which its content corresponds to the developmental characteristics of learners at different educational levels, particularly Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) and Madrasah Aliyah (MA). This study seeks to examine the appropriateness of SKI curriculum content at the MTs and MA levels in relation to students’ developmental needs and capacities. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study draws on library research and document analysis of the SKI curriculum, relevant regulatory frameworks, and scholarly works on the teaching of Islamic history in madrasahs. The findings indicate that SKI materials at the MTs level primarily emphasize foundational knowledge, chronological understanding, and the introduction of key events and figures in Islamic history. At the MA level, by contrast, the curriculum is broader in scope and deeper in content, with greater emphasis on analysis, reflection, and the cultivation of higher-order thinking skills. Overall, the curriculum demonstrates a general alignment with students’ developmental stages; however, several limitations remain, particularly in the contextualization of content, the depth of analysis, and the use of assessment strategies that foster critical understanding. This study contributes to the discourse on Islamic education by offering an analytical perspective on the relevance of SKI curriculum content across levels and by proposing directions for more contextual, differentiated, and historically grounded instructional practices.
