Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effect of group guidance services on smoking habits among santri at Miftahul Huda Islamic Boarding School, Bojonegoro. Smoking behavior among adolescents, including santri, constitutes a serious problem due to its detrimental impact on physical health, psychological well-being, and academic performance. Group guidance services are considered an effective intervention to prevent and reduce smoking behavior through supportive and constructive group dynamics. Method: This research employed a quantitative experimental approach using a one-group pretest–posttest design. The sample was selected through purposive sampling, focusing on santri who met the criteria as active smokers. Data were collected using a smoking habit scale that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was conducted using the Paired Sample t-Test. Results: The findings revealed a statistically significant difference in smoking habits before and after the intervention, as indicated by a decrease in the mean score of smoking behavior following the implementation of group guidance services. Conclusion: These results indicate that group guidance services are effective in reducing smoking habits among santri at Miftahul Huda Islamic Boarding School, Bojonegoro. This study highlights the potential of group-based counseling interventions as a preventive and corrective strategy for addressing health-risk behaviors within the pesantren educational context.

Abstract

Objective: This study examines the theoretical foundations of Sufism through the intellectual framework of Imam Muhammad Abu Zahrah, aiming to uncover his interpretive methodology and his position in reconciling Sufi spirituality with Islamic orthodoxy. Method: Employing a qualitative critical-analytical method based on textual analysis of Abu Zahrah’s writings, classical Sufi literature, and secondary theological studies, supported by historical contextualization, the research situates his thought within the broader development of Islamic mysticism and its key figures. Result: The findings reveal that Abu Zahrah adopts a balanced mediating stance: affirming the ethical and spiritual value of Sufism while critiquing speculative excesses and mystical extremism. He advocates for a purified, ethically grounded Sufism aligned with Qur’anic rationality and Islamic creed, thereby distancing it from esoteric deviations. Conclusion: The study concludes that Abu Zahrah’s approach provides a valuable framework for rethinking the role of Sufism in modern Islamic thought, demonstrating its continued relevance for contemporary spiritual renewal and intellectual reform within the Muslim world.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to explore the meanings and dynamics of the religious experiences of students undertaking khalwāt at Al-Hikmah Islamic Boarding School in Gatak, Sukoharjo. Method: A qualitative approach with a phenomenological design was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, and analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Data validity was ensured through method and source triangulation. Results: Khalwāt is perceived not merely as a spiritual ritual but as a process of constructing personal and transformative religious meaning. Participants reported significant changes across affective, cognitive, and spiritual dimensions, including increased inner tranquility, greater discipline in religious practice, and deeper self-awareness. They also experienced mystical phenomena, interpreted as part of spiritual testing and purification. Conclusion: Khalwāt functions as a strategic inner spiritual space that strengthens spirituality and fosters the sustained development of students’ religious subjectivity.

Abstract

The issue of abortion due to rape is one of the complex problems in contemporary women's fiqh, as it involves a conflict between the right to life of the fetus and the protection of victims of sexual violence. Objective: This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the views of Kiai Husein Muhammad and Santri Lirboyo Kediri on abortion due to rape and to explore the similarities and differences between the two in the perspective of contemporary women's fiqh. Method: This study is a qualitative study with a comparative approach. The research data was obtained through a literature study by examining the writings and thoughts of Kiai Husein Muhammad and Santri Lirboyo Kediri, as well as other academic sources relevant to the research topic. Results: This study shows that Kiai Husein Muhammad represents a humanistic-progressive fiqh style that emphasizes the preservation of the psychological condition and dignity of women who are victims of sexual violence (hifz al-'Aql), while Santri Lirboyo Kediri is based on traditional-conservative fiqh that emphasizes the protection of fetal life as a form of respect for human rights (hifz an-Nafs). Conclusion: However, the differences between these two views do not necessarily indicate a contradiction, but rather enrich the contemporary fiqh of women on the issue of abortion due to rape by presenting a balance between human values, morality, and submission to the principles of Islamic sharia.

Abstract

Objective: This study examines the application of the mubādalah approach in promoting the equitable distribution of reproductive responsibilities between husband and wife and analyzes the Islamic perspective on male contraception within family planning (Keluarga Berencana). Method: This study employs a library research approach by critically reviewing books, scholarly journal articles, and classical and contemporary Islamic legal literature on family planning, mubādalah, gender relations, and Islamic jurisprudence. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis, while source triangulation enhanced the credibility of the findings. Results: Previous studies on family planning from an Islamic perspective have primarily focused on the permissibility or prohibition of contraceptive methods, with limited attention to gender inequality in reproductive responsibilities. In Indonesia, contraceptive use remains dominated by women, whereas male participation is relatively low. The mubādalah approach offers an alternative framework emphasizing reciprocity, partnership, and shared responsibility between spouses in reproductive decision-making. According to Islamic law, temporary male contraceptive methods, including ‘azl (coitus interruptus) and condoms, are generally permissible when intended for birth spacing and when they do not cause harm. Conversely, permanent methods such as vasectomy are generally prohibited unless justified by legitimate medical necessity. Conclusion: Integrating the mubādalah approach into family planning discourse promotes gender-equitable reproductive responsibility, strengthens shared decision-making between spouses, and provides a normative foundation for increasing male participation in family planning programs in Indonesia.

Abstract

Objective: This article examines the urgency of spiritual care training for newly appointed Islamic chaplains and its contribution to strengthening their professional competencies in healthcare and social service settings in Indonesia. Method: This study employs a library research approach by critically reviewing scholarly literature on spiritual care, chaplaincy education, holistic healthcare, and the competencies required of Islamic chaplains. The data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis to identify major themes related to training needs and competency development. Results: The findings reveal that the increasing demand for services addressing patients’ physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs has positioned spiritual care as an essential component of patient-centered healthcare. Nevertheless, Islamic chaplains in Indonesia continue to face challenges, including the lack of standardized competency frameworks, systematic training curricula, and professional practice guidelines. The reviewed literature indicates that structured spiritual care training significantly improves chaplains’ knowledge, practical skills, and professional competencies in assessing spiritual needs, delivering appropriate spiritual interventions, communicating religious values with cultural and spiritual sensitivity, providing emotional and existential support, and collaborating effectively within multidisciplinary healthcare teams. Furthermore, such training facilitates the internalization of core Islamic values, including ṣabr (patience), tawakkul (trust in God), ḥusn al-ẓann (positive regard toward God and others), compassion, and sincerity, into professional practice. Conclusion: Developing and implementing a standardized Islamic-based spiritual care training program is a strategic initiative to enhance the quality of spiritual care services, strengthen the professional identity of Islamic chaplains, and address the growing need for holistic, integrated, and patient-centered healthcare and social services in Indonesia.

Abstract

Objective: This study examines the relationship between Sufi movements and the arts in the contemporary era. While previous scholarship has primarily explored Sufism as a spiritual and theological tradition, comparatively little attention has been given to the role of the arts as a medium of cultural expression, religious communication, and social transformation within contemporary Sufi movements. Method: This study employs a library research design using a descriptive-historical approach. Data were collected through a systematic review and critical analysis of scholarly literature on Sufism, the arts, culture, and contemporary Sufi movements to identify recurring themes and conceptual patterns. Results: The findings reveal that the relationship between Sufi movements and the arts operates through two complementary dimensions. The first is the esoteric dimension, in which the arts function as an integral component of spiritual practice and a means of inner refinement for Sufi practitioners, particularly within the ṭarīqa tradition. The second is the exoteric dimension, in which the arts serve as a medium for communicating Sufi teachings and transmitting spiritual values to wider audiences through culturally embedded, aesthetically engaging, and socially inclusive forms of expression. Conclusion: This study concludes that the arts should be understood not merely as vehicles of aesthetic expression but also as strategic instruments for communicating and transmitting Sufi teachings in contemporary society. By conceptualizing the esoteric and exoteric dimensions of Sufi art, this research contributes to the development of Islamic Sufism studies by offering a more comprehensive framework for understanding how Sufi movements negotiate spirituality, culture, and social transformation in the modern era.

Abstract

The growing presence of Sufi dance communities across Indonesia reflects a public search for religious communication that is gentle, reflective, and grounded in experiential spirituality. Da‘wah practices that once relied primarily on verbal preaching have shifted toward performative-aesthetic approaches in which rotational movement, rhythmic remembrance, and interpretations of Jalaluddin Rumi’s poetry serve as vehicles for internalizing spiritual values. Objective: This study aims to examine the transformation of Sufi dance into a contemporary medium of Islamic da‘wah in Indonesia and to analyze its spiritual, communicative, and socio-cultural functions. Method: The study employs a library research methodology by systematically reviewing national and international literature on Sufism, performance studies, cultural da‘wah, and contemporary Sufi dance communities in Indonesia. Results: The findings reveal that Sufi dance functions as an alternative model of da‘wah that integrates aesthetic expression, spiritual practice, and social interaction. The localization of Mevlevi traditions has enabled Sufi dance to reach broader audiences, including women and younger generations, while digital media has significantly expanded its dissemination. At the same time, the increasing circulation of Sufi dance through digital platforms has created a tendency for performances to be appreciated primarily as visual spectacles, thereby reducing their spiritual substance. Conclusion: The study concludes that Sufi dance represents a relevant form of contemporary Islamic da‘wah that combines artistic performance with spiritual communication. Beyond preserving Sufi traditions, it offers an inclusive and emotionally engaging approach to religious outreach, contributing to spiritual development and social cohesion within contemporary Indonesian society.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine how generative artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming religious authority and da’wah (Islamic propagation) communication ethics in Indonesia, the country with the world’s largest Muslim population. Specifically, it seeks to analyze the implications of AI for the production, circulation, and legitimacy of religious knowledge and guidance within the Indonesian Islamic public sphere. Method: The study employed a systematic literature review (SLR) guided by the PRISMA 2020 protocol. Forty peer-reviewed and Scopus-indexed sources published predominantly between 2021 and 2026 were analyzed using thematic synthesis. The review focused on five analytical domains: institutional AI adoption within Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah, the epistemic reliability of AI-generated religious guidance, algorithmic mediation and fragmentation of religious authority, ethical tensions in AI-mediated da’wah communication, and comparative global perspectives on digital Islamic authority. Results: The findings indicate that generative AI simultaneously functions as an enabling and destabilizing force in Indonesian Islamic communication. On the one hand, AI enhances the reach, personalization, and efficiency of da’wah communication. On the other hand, it destabilizes the traditional isnad-based model of religious legitimacy, introduces risks of misattribution and doctrinal oversimplification, and creates new forms of algorithmically mediated religious influence operating outside conventional institutional accountability structures. The study further identifies a significant asymmetry between the rapid pace of AI adoption and the comparatively slow development of ethical and regulatory frameworks governing AI-mediated religious communication. Conclusion: This study proposes the concept of the algorithmic ulama to describe the emerging hybrid configuration of human and machinic religious authority, and develops a preliminary ethical framework for AI-mediated da’wah grounded in Islamic communication ethics (akhlaq al-i‘lam) and mediatization theory. It contributes a theoretically integrated, context-specific account of AI’s implications for Islamic communication scholarship and offers practical recommendations for religious institutions, media regulators, and communication educators in Indonesia.
