Abstract

The development of the digital world and the proliferation of virtual spaces now occupy almost half of a modern person's day. In 2024, more than 65% of the Indonesian population will be connected to the internet and accessing various social media platforms. Every day, more than three hours of their time will be spent accessing information in the virtual world. This reality has changed many things, including the way people access, understand and practice religious information, including the Prophetic traditions. Therefore, various researches and studies have been conducted to observe this new phenomenon. This study will generally capture the extent to which research and studies on the circulation of Prophetic traditions in the digital space have been conducted. Using the systematic literature review technique, this article will map the development of the discourse, the variety of dissemination, and the map of studies that have been conducted with regard to hadith in the digital space. By observing all studies that focus on digital media platforms, this article finds that the development of hadith discourse in the digital world only grew exponentially in 2021 and was dominated by the discourse of authority and reception.

Abstract

The Canonization of the Seven Qirāʾāt by Ibn Mujāhid (d. 324 AH) represents a pivotal effort in disciplining the diverse recitations of the Qur’an during the classical Islamic period. Prior to Ibn Mujāhid, there existed a wide array of qirāʾāt, but he proposed a restriction to seven recitations deemed authentic. This article analyzes Ibn Mujāhid’s attempt at standardizing the qirāʾāt through the lens of Serge Moscovici’s social psychology, particularly his theories of social representation, minority influence, and ideological conflict. Through the theoretical framework of social representation, this study demonstrates that the Seven Qirāʾāt are not merely the result of scholarly codification, but a form of social construction shaped by the authority of religious scholars and supported by broader socio-political dynamics. Drawing on the concept of minority influence, the article explores how Ibn Mujāhid, as an intellectual figure, played a crucial role in shifting the majority’s perception and establishing a widely accepted standard of qirāʾāt. Furthermore, the article argues that the standardization of qirāʾāt is part of a broader ideological conflict in Islamic history, involving tensions between preserving diversity and the necessity of uniformity in Qur’anic recitation. In conclusion, Ibn Mujāhid’s endeavor to formalize the Seven Qirāʾāt should be understood as a product of social construction shaped by intellectual, social, political, and religious dynamics, rather than merely a philological phenomenon.

Abstract

This study aims to explore life on Earth before Adam was sent down to it. It employs a qualitative method with a focus on thematic analysis from the perspective of al-Ṭabāṭabā'ī as presented in his tafsir work, al-Mīzān fī Tafsīr al-Qur’ān. According to the Iranian exegete, the dialogue between the Angels and Allah recorded in Surah al-Baqarah verse 30 indicates the existence of living beings on Earth before the creation of Adam. His interpretation of Surah Fuṣṣilat verse 25, al-Nūr verse 45, and al-Nisā’ verse 1 reveals the beings that were present prior to Adam’s descent, namely jinn, animals, and prehistoric humans categorized within the hominidae family. By applying the grounded theory approach, this study finds that al-Ṭabāṭabā'ī rejects the theory of macroevolution of the human body, as reflected in his interpretation of the phrase nafs wāḥidah in Surah al-Nisā’ verse 1. There, he affirms that all humans originated from this one soul, which he identifies as Adam and Eve. In other words, humans today do not have a genealogical connection with any ancient humans, and therefore have never undergone significant changes in their bodies because since Adam, the first human created, he was already in the most perfect physical condition.

Abstract

The post-Islamization transformation of the Kaili tribe in Central Sulawesi led to significant changes in traditional rituals, especially Pompoura and Disaster Prevention, originally based on animism. This study explores the tribe's adaptation to Islamic influences while balancing the preservation of ancestral traditions and the tension it caused with traditional elders. Using a qualitative approach with descriptive methods, the research involved in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. The results indicate that these rituals have been reinterpreted to align with Islamic teachings while maintaining social elements that reinforce community solidarity. This study provides practical contributions to religious leaders and traditional figures in managing cultural change, offering solutions that balance religious values and local traditions. Future research directions could explore other communities to broaden the scope and delve deeper into similar cultural resistance dynamics, focusing on cultural and religious negotiations to create innovative solutions that balance tradition and modernity.

Abstract

This paper attempts to examine how fundamental-radical epistemology forms after the return of the power of Taliban in Afghanistan. To arrive at this topic, the author would firstly review the terminology and historical roots of fundamentalism-radicalism, and the factors that caused its emergence and its characteristics. The author uses a historical-phenomenological approach in doing the literature research to write this article. In analyzing obtained data, the author is using descriptive-analytical, historical, and holistic techniques. The results found are: first, the emergence of the understanding of fundamental-radical, which was initially only a political phenomenon, turned out to lead to systemic violence, actual violence, action, and symbolic violence. These are still threatening humanity because of the characteristics of their movements that are unwilling to communicate and attempt dialogue with relevant groups. Second, the factors behind the rise of radicalism are two, namely: socio-political factors and religious-related emotional factors. Third, the epistemology of fundamental-radicals lays only on literal and textual understanding. According to them, the truth lies in the understood sacred text, as it is.

Abstract

This article concludes that the interpretation of the Quran depends on the ideological and theological leanings of a mufassir. The findings support H-G. Gadamer’s claim about the mufassir’s pre-understanding, which is considered to have a close relationship with the interpretation result. This study shares the view of modernist Muslims, such as Naṣr Ḥāmid Abū Zayd, Farid Esack, Khaled Abou el-Faḍl, and feminist scholar Amina Wadud, that subjectivity in the interpretation of the Quran is inevitable because each mufassir lives in a different historical context and cultural reality. This article proves that the theological interpretation in al-Kashshāf is influenced by the Muʿtazilah principles of al-tawḥīd and al-ʿadl. The methodology of interpretation also portrays al-Zamakhsharī as an interpreter who has full authority in expressing his thoughts by using the question-and-answer method in his work. This article concludes that the interpretation of the Quran depends on the ideological and theological tendencies of the mufassir.

Abstract

The article aims to describe the religious views of Indonesian Muslim groups concerning Covid-19 and health protocols. It also explores the factors that lead some Muslims to reject health protocols in their religious practices. The qualitative method was employed in this study, with research subjects selected through purposive sampling, and data were analyzed using descriptive analysis. The informants included leaders of Indonesian Muslim groups, such as Muhammadiyah, Nahdlatul Ulama, and other Muslim group leaders. The research findings indicate that most Muslim group leaders interpret Islamic teachings with academic perspectives, although many tend to adopt conservative interpretations. This conservative religious understanding is influenced by several factors: first, the psychological factor of panic or cultural shock among some Muslims; second, the influx of information on social media whose accuracy is challenging to verify; third, economic pressure on the people; and fourth, the government’s indecisiveness and the ineffectiveness of public communication.

Abstract

The study employs a dual approach, combining psychological analysis with Sufi teachings to comprehend the multifaceted nature of death. Methodologically, it synthesizes insights from psychological theories on emotional detachment and the human perception of mortality. This is juxtaposed with the Sufi perspective, derived from extensive literature, teachings, and interpretations of Sufi scholars and texts. The psychological aspect delves into the notion of psychological death, exploring how individuals, while physically alive, can experience emotional numbness, disconnect, and insensitivity to their surroundings. This exploration incorporates established psychological frameworks and case studies that illustrate these states. Simultaneously, the Sufistic approach interprets death as an inevitable certainty, emphasizing the spiritual separation between the body and the eternal soul. This perspective draws upon Sufi texts, traditions, and philosophies that emphasize the eternal nature of the soul and the transformative aspect of death. The study synthesizes these perspectives, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of death. It examines how the psychological and Sufi viewpoints converge and diverge, shedding light on the multifaceted meanings and implications of death within the human experience. Through this methodological fusion, the study endeavors to offer a nuanced perspective on death that encompasses both psychological and spiritual dimensions.

Abstract

This article will explore Asghar Ali Engineer’s ideas on the significance of religious harmony and examine how this concept is manifested through his formulated theology of peace. The research method used in this study is literature review with a philosophical approach using hermeneutic and text analysis techniques through verstehen. The results of this study explain that the theology of peace sees religion as a source of values and spirit that encourage humans to live together in peace and harmony. Asghar Ali Engineer suggests that Muslims prioritize the principles of peace, such as the understanding of Islam, the meaning of jihād, movement, and the application of justice. In addition, according to Asghar Ali’s perspective, Muslims must cultivate values that can realize religious harmony and peace, such as anti-violence, justice, truth, tolerance, love, and compassion.
THE CONTIGUITY OF MUSA’S SHARIA IN THE QURAN: TORAH AND ṢUḤUF TERMINOLOGY IN EXEGETICAL LITERATURES Saputra, Ali Thaufan Dwi; Ansari, Miftach

Abstract

This article attempts to trace the contiguity of the substance of the sharia revealed to Musa in the Quran by tracing the terminology of the Torah and Ṣuḥuf on exegetical sources. The article will track the intersection of the classical and contemporary exegetical sources that use the jurisprudence approach as a lens in interpreting the Quran. This research is qualitative in nature, and the method used is descriptive-analytical. As a result, at least based on exegetical literature, there is a specific intersection between the sharia brought by Musa and the sharia brought by Muhammad in the Quran. The intersection lies, for example, in legal aspects such as qiṣāṣ, diyāt and rajam. However, there are different views on addressing this contiguity. One view is that the contiguity does not mean anything because the previous sharia has been abolished by the revelation of the Quran. Another view states that the Quran is a conclusive-confirmative revelation and does not abolish previous sharia.
