TSAQAFAH : Jurnal Peradaban Islam
ISSN : 14110334     EISSN : 24600008     DOI : https://doi.org/10.21111/tsaqafah
Core Subject :
Tsaqafah is a journal published by the University of Darussalam Gontor with its aims related to Islamic Civilization. What we refer to as Islamic Civilization, in accordance with the terminology elucidated in Islam as Religion and Civilization by Hamid Fahmy Zarkasyi, consists of two substantial elements in our view, namely Culture and Knowledge. Through culture that has been Islamized, societies have developed traditions at the local level that remain consistent with their original culture without conflicting with Islamic values. Additionally, a portion of the population forms scholarly communities because of the obligation of seeking knowledge in Islam inspired by the revelations of the Quran and the practices in the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad, which subsequently led to the development of methodologies and research resulting in products referred to as Islamic Sciences, Islamicate Science, or Islamicate Society in a broad sense, encompassing various disciplines of knowledge.

Abstract

This study examines the methods of resolving hadith discrepancies proposed by Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah. The issue of hadith contradiction (ikhtilaf al-hadith) often causes understanding the Prophet's guidance (peace be upon him). Ibn Qayyim adopted a systematic approach to harmonize seemingly contradictory hadiths through the methods of reconciliation (al-jamʿ), abrogation (nasakh), and preference (tarjih). This research employs a qualitative-descriptive approach based on library research. The findings reveal that the method of reconciliation (al-jamʿ) is predominantly used by Ibn Qayyim, taking into account the strength of the transmission chains (sanad), historical context, and the principles of maqasid al-shariʿah. This study highlights Ibn Qayyim’s significant contribution to preserving the coherence of hadith understanding and its relevance to the dynamics of contemporary Islamic law.

Abstract

This study examines the relationships between the COSO Internal Control Framework, Islamic Organizational Culture (IOC), fraud prevention, and organizational performance in public sector institutions. Using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with a sample of 175 respondents, the findings reveal that COSO does not have a significant direct effect on either fraud prevention or organizational performance. In contrast, IOC demonstrates a strong and significant influence on both fraud prevention and performance. This result indicates that value-based cultural attributes rooted in Islamic principles—particularly amanah, sidq, and accountability—function as mechanisms that realize key maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah objectives, namely the preservation of wealth (hifẓ al-māl) through the prevention of fraud, and the preservation of faith (hifẓ al-dīn) by reinforcing ethical and religious compliance within organizational practices. The results further show that fraud prevention positively improves performance and mediates the relationship between IOC and performance, while COSO exhibits no mediating effect through fraud prevention. These findings refine Institutional Theory by demonstrating that in Islamic public-sector contexts, normative and cultural pillars (represented by IOC) possess stronger legitimizing power for shaping organizational behavior than purely regulatory or coercive structures (represented by COSO). Formal controls alone are insufficient without the support of deeply internalized ethical and religious values. Overall, the study highlights the importance of integrating Islamic ethical norms, cultural foundations, and fraud prevention mechanisms as practical embodiments of hifẓ al-māl to achieve more effective, accountable, and trustworthy governance.

Abstract

This study examined how members of Muhammadiyah, Indonesia’s largest modernist Islamic organization, interpreted and negotiated the relationship between religious authority and scientific knowledge during the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on a qualitative design, the analysis identified three distinct epistemological patterns—Integrative Affirmation, Puritanical Resistance, and Selective Negotiation—each shaped by the interaction of doctrinal commitments, political identity pressures, and the fragmented digital information environment. The study clarified that the notion of “Muhammadiyah’s epistemology” functions not as an attribute of an institution, but as an analytical construct that captures an institutionalized orientation toward harmonizing revelation and reason within the framework of Progressive Islam. The findings demonstrate that epistemological tendencies among members are neither uniform nor static; rather, they remain open to reinterpretation, contestation, and adjustment in response to social, political, and technological forces. Although the study offers a theoretically grounded account of epistemological dynamics within a major Muslim organization, its temporal and historical boundaries limit the assessment of long-term transformations. The article contributes to broader debates on contemporary Islamic thought by illuminating how modernist Muslim actors negotiate authority, scientific rationality, and religious authenticity under conditions of crisis and digital-era complexity.

Abstract

This research analyzes the intellectual debate between INSISTS and Liberal Islam in Indonesia during 2003–2012 from the perspective of Islamic civilizational studies. Using a historical method—heuristic, critical, interpretative, and historiographical—combined with a narrative approach, the study situates INSISTS within a broader civilizational discourse on knowledge, authority, and modernity. The findings indicate that INSISTS adopts an academically grounded strategy in engaging Liberal Islamic arguments, differentiating itself from earlier movements that relied more on social or political mobilization. The wide influence of INSISTS arises from the scholarly prestige of its members and its ability to connect with long-established Islamic institutions such as Gontor, MUI, NU, Muhammadiyah, Persis, and DDII. This article argues that the INSISTS–Liberal Islam debate reflects deeper civilizational tensions within Indonesia’s Islamic thought regarding epistemology, modernization, and the negotiation of global ideas.
Reconstructing Fatherhood in Islamic Law: A Fiqh al-Usrah and Qirā’ah Mubādalah Perspective on Relational Justice in Muslim Families Irzak Yuliardy Nugroho; Mufidah Ch; Ahmad Zayyadi; Imam Syafi’i; Hawa Hidayatul Hikmiyah; Abdul Hakim

Abstract

This article explores fatherlessness in Muslim families through Fiqh al-Usrah and Qirā'ah Mubādalah. It reinterprets Surah al-Nisā' [4]:34 (qawwāmūn) and al-Taḥrīm [66]:6 (Qū anfusakum wa ahlīkum nārā), shifting paternal leadership from hierarchical authority to reciprocal moral guardianship (ḥirāsah akhlāqiyyah mubādalahiyyah), thereby legitimizing shared spiritual responsibility when fathers are absent. The study identifies the moral and spiritual deficit caused by paternal absence particularly declining ṣalāh discipline and ethical formation among children as a critical disruption of Islamic family ethics. Using a qualitative-normative approach integrating classical fiqh, Qur'ānic exegesis, and gender hermeneutics, it demonstrates that Qirā'ah Mubādalah offers a reciprocal framework for redistributing spiritual responsibility. The Qur'ānic ethic of caring for orphans (yatāmā) found in Surah al-Nisā' [4]:2-10 and al-Duḥā [93]:9 provides the dalīl shar'ī (legal proof) for mothers or communities to assume paternal religious roles (wilāyah ta'dībiyyah) when fathers are absent. This collective guardianship is grounded in maqāṣid al-sharī'ah, prioritizing preservation of faith (ḥifẓ al-dīn) and lineage (ḥifẓ al-nasl) over rigid gender roles. The study introduces relational justice ('adālah 'alāqiyyah) as an advancement beyond classical fiqh's transactional justice. While classical family law prioritized formal equity (inheritance, nafaqah, procedural fairness), it overlooked emotional labor ('amal 'āṭifī), caregiving (ri'āyah), and spiritual mentorship (tarbiyah rūḥiyyah). Relational justice mandates these as equally binding religious duties (farā'iḍ dīniyyah) shared between parents, ensuring that when one fails spiritually, the other gains full theological authority to lead, supported by communal accountability (mas'ūliyyah jamā'iyyah). The study concludes that Qirā'ah Mubādalah renews Fiqh al-Usrah by legitimizing shared moral leadership, redistributing patriarchal spiritual authority, and strengthening Muslim families' ethical foundations through reciprocity, emotional care, and functional competence.

Abstract

Islamophobia remains a significant challenge in American society, influencing public perceptions and shaping the lived experiences of Muslim communities. In response, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has emerged as a key organization in strengthening American Muslim identity. This study examines CAIR’s organizational role in countering Islamophobia by fostering resilience, increasing community engagement, and enhancing cultural representation. Using a qualitative approach, it explores how liquid organizations navigate structural barriers and social prejudice while promoting inclusivity and civic participation. The findings indicate that such organizations reinforce identity formation by providing safe spaces for dialogue, utilizing digital platforms for advocacy, and facilitating interfaith engagement. Their flexible organizational structures enable rapid adaptation to emerging challenges, making them effective in mobilizing support and shaping narratives that challenge negative stereotypes. By amplifying Muslim voices and building solidarity, liquid organizations contribute to a more pluralistic and inclusive society. This study highlights their transformative potential in redefining American Muslim identity amid ongoing sociopolitical tensions. Ultimately, recognizing and supporting these organizations represents an important step toward reducing Islamophobia.

Abstract

Polygamy is a crucial topic in both classical and contemporary Islamic studies, especially in the context of gender justice and family law. This study aims to examine polygamy in the history of early Islamic civilisation through three main aspects: (1) normative analysis of the verses of the Qur'an that regulate polygamy, particularly QS. An-Nisa' verses 3 and 129; (2) the socio-cultural contextualisation of pre-Islamic and prophetic Arab society that underlies these regulations; and (3) an examination of the Prophet Muhammad's practice of polygamy as an applicable model of Sharia law. The issues examined include: the normative message of the verses on polygamy; how the social context influences Sharia policy; and how the Prophet's practice affirms moral and social principles in polygamy. This study uses a qualitative method based on library research with a maqāṣidī interpretation approach, contextual hermeneutics, and historical analysis of texts and practices. The results show that polygamy in early Islam was a form of regulation of pre-Islamic practices, with very strict limitations based on multidimensional justice. The practices of the Prophet Muhammad SAW prove that polygamy was not a general recommendation, but rather a solution in certain social conditions, particularly for the protection of women and social reconciliation. In conclusion, polygamy in early Islam was a dispensation (rukhṣah) that could only be justified if certain moral, social, and spiritual conditions were met, not as an ideal norm. These findings emphasise the importance of a contextual approach in re-reading normative texts to respond to current socio-cultural challenges.

Abstract

The article focuses on H. M Rasjidi’s thoughts and experiences with regard to the relation and dialogue between Muslims and Christians in Indonesia. Rasjidi's works seriously discuss the historical events and intellectual debates pertaining to Muslim-Christian conflicts in Indonesia. Furthermore, this article discusses the methods for engaging with other faiths in both Islam and Christianity. Discussing a brief understanding of the established principles in Islam as a framework for a dialogue with other faiths shall be done first. Using this framework, Rasjidi scrutinizes the Christian principles of respecting other faiths through Christian congresses and literature, aiming to address social problems. Since Rasjidi, in many of his works, has been dedicated to clarifying problems concerning Muslim-Christian relationships, this article shall be an interesting topic in this research to know how Rasjidi tries to explain the relationship between Islam and Christianity in Indonesia.

Abstract

The New Order era marked a new chapter in Indonesian politics. During this period, the relationship between Islam and the state experienced a dynamic of ebb and flow. This study aims to identify and analyze the political influences on the legislation of Islamic law, and to explain why the New Order, which was initially hostile to political Islam, ultimately accommodated Muslim aspirations. This research employs a library-based study approach, tracing and analyzing data from books, journals, and secondary sources related to the politics of Islamic law during the New Order. A historical-analytical approach is used to examine the chronology of relevant events and political dynamics. The study finds that the legislation of Islamic law during the New Order was shaped by three key factors: first, a renewal in Islamic political thought from a confrontational, formalistic approach to a substantive, accommodative one; second, the strengthening political role of the Muslim community within the state's power structure; and third, a change in the New Order's internal political configuration, specifically the weakening of President Soeharto's control over the military, which prompted him to seek a new political alliance with the Muslim community as a base of support. The result of this interaction was the legislation of four legal products that aligned with the interests of the Muslim community: the National Education System Law, the Religious Courts Law, the Compilation of Islamic Law, and the establishment of Bank Muamalat Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the legal politics of marital rape regulation in Law Number 12 of 2022 on Sexual Violence Crimes (UU TPKS) through the lenses of Responsive Legal Theory and Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah. It explores the paradigm shift in Indonesian law that redefines marital rape from a private matter into a public legal concern aimed at protecting victims of sexual violence within marriage. Using a normative juridical method with legislative and conceptual approaches, the study analyzes the legal-political background, state orientation, and legislative process behind the formulation and ratification of the law. The findings indicate that the inclusion of marital rape in the TPKS Law reflects a responsive legal character, emphasizing justice, victim protection, human rights recognition, and gender equality. However, significant challenges remain in its implementation, particularly regarding evidentiary issues and persistent cultural resistance. From the perspective of Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah, the criminalization of marital rape aligns with the protection of dignity (ḥifẓ al-‘irḍ), life (ḥifẓ al-nafs), and lineage (ḥifẓ al-nasl). The study concludes that integrating Responsive Legal Theory with Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah provides a strong conceptual foundation for strengthening the legitimacy and effectiveness of marital rape regulation in Indonesia and advancing substantive justice within the national legal system.
