Popular culture disseminated through social media has driven a transformation in masculine values within urban communities, particularly among men who use fashion and skincare products. This study aims to examine the shift in masculinity values from traditional to modern and to analyze the social interaction processes among male fashion users in Mataram. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected via in-depth interviews with twelve male informants actively engaged with fashion and skincare. Analysis was conducted using phenomenological reduction techniques, along with source and time triangulation. The findings indicate that traditional masculinity centered on physical strength and dominance has shifted toward a more flexible, reflective, and self-care–oriented modern masculinity. Social interactions occur directly through peer groups and indirectly via social media, which serves as a platform for exchanging new masculine symbols and identities. These findings highlight the importance of reconstructing understandings of masculinity within the context of popular culture and digital technology, offering theoretical contributions to gender, media, and cultural sociology studies.

The study of women’s authority from the perspective of ḥadīth is a timely issue in contemporary discourse, particularly regarding women’s roles in leadership and decision-making across various spheres. This research aims to explore the understanding of ḥadīths related to women’s authority, both in normative and historical contexts. The findings indicate that comprehension of ḥadīths concerning women’s authority requires a contextual approach that accounts for the social, cultural, and historical backgrounds in which these traditions emerged. Furthermore, this study emphasises the importance of distinguishing between universally normative ḥadīths and those that are locally contextual. In many cases, women’s authority is not inherently constrained by religious normative texts, but is instead shaped by scholarly interpretations influenced by patriarchal contexts. This article recommends a re-reading of ḥadīths using a critical hermeneutic approach to uncover more inclusive dimensions of gender justice. By doing so, the understanding of women’s authority in Islam can contribute to establishing a more equitable and just social order, without compromising the core values taught in the religion.

Barzanji recitations in Bugis pesantrens in Makassar have traditionally relegated women to passive roles, reflecting entrenched gender norms. This study aims to empower women to participate actively in Barzanji rituals at the Multidimensional Alfakhriyah Islamic Boarding School by implementing a gender‑sensitive Participatory Action Research (PAR) framework. Data collection included in‑depth interviews, focus group discussions, and field observations. The intervention comprised Barzanji sessions co‑designed with female santri and community leaders, featuring flexible timing and culturally adapted formats. Findings reveal that women’s participation increased from 12 % to 68 %, accompanied by enhanced spiritual understanding and a strengthened sense of ownership over the ritual. Participatory monitoring further reinforced women’s agency within religious spaces. These results demonstrate that gender‑responsive programs can effectively shift traditional norms and position women as active agents of change within Islamic ritual practice. This study contributes to gender and Islamic scholarship by presenting a scalable model suitable for other pesantrens. Future applications may include broader implementation across Sulawesi and longitudinal research to assess cultural transformation.

Victims of sexual abuse in Muslim communities often face limited access to psychosocial support due to stigma, shame, and the lack of culturally and religiously relevant interventions. This study addresses these challenges by examining how Islamic values, izzah (dignity), sabr (patience), and tawakkul (trust in God) can support the development of self-esteem as a coping strategy for victims. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) combined with bibliometric analysis through VOSviewer software, this study explores how these core Islamic concepts contribute to psychological resilience. The findings reveal that self-esteem rooted in Islamic spirituality plays a critical role in helping victims cope with trauma and rebuild their psychological well-being. Islamic values offer not only personal spiritual strength but also a culturally appropriate framework for recovery, especially in communities where modern mental health services are underutilized. An approach based on sabr, tawakkul, and izzah can strengthen resilience and restore self-worth affected by abuse. This study provides valuable insights for scholars, mental health practitioners, and policymakers, emphasizing the need for interventions and policies grounded in Islamic teachings to support survivors in Muslim communities.

Gender inequality in some Muslim societies is often legitimized by narrow interpretations of religious texts. This study investigates the concept of gender equality in the Qur’an through a thematic-critical analysis of verses concerning women. Employing a qualitative library research method, it integrates tafsīr maudhu‘ī (thematic exegesis) with critical hermeneutics. Primary sources include the Qur’an and authentic hadiths, while secondary sources consist of classical and contemporary tafsir literature, along with feminist interpretations by scholars such as Amina Wadud and Asma Barlas. The findings indicate that the Qur’an affirms gender equality in terms of spiritual dignity, moral responsibility, and human potential. However, the historical development of tafsir has often been shaped by patriarchal contexts, leading to gender-biased interpretations. This study outlines a progression from literalist to more contextual hermeneutical approaches, highlighting the Qur’an’s interpretive flexibility in addressing evolving social realities. The study concludes that recovering the Qur’an’s original message of justice and equality necessitates a contextual and inclusive interpretive framework. By reaffirming the equal status of men and women as moral agents and servants of God, it contributes to contemporary discussions on gender justice in Islam.
