Abstract

This study aims to analyze the human role in maintaining environmental harmony from the perspective of Seyyed Hossein Nasr. The study is motivated by the escalating environmental crisis in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, the widening gap between technical solutions and the spiritual dimensions of environmental degradation, and the need to incorporate a comprehensive Islamic philosophical perspective into contemporary environmental discourse. The novelty of this research lies in its analysis of human existence as khalīfah (vicegerent) on earth within Nasr's thought and its relevance to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This research employs a library-based qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical method through content analysis of Seyyed Hossein Nasr's primary works, supported by Qur'anic exegesis, Islamic philosophical literature, and contemporary environmental studies, while adopting Ziauddin Sardar's framework of environmental ethics. The findings reveal that the root cause of the environmental crisis lies in the loss of the sacred perception of nature and the dominance of a materialistic worldview that disrupts cosmic balance. According to Nasr, nature is a manifestation of divine signs, and human beings, as khalīfah, bear the responsibility of preserving and maintaining its harmony. Therefore, addressing the environmental crisis requires the reconstruction of spiritual consciousness through the reaffirmation of the principle of tawḥīd and the integration of scientific knowledge with ethical values to foster a harmonious relationship between humanity and nature.

Abstract

This study explores narrative coherence in al-Taḥrīr wa al-Tanwīr through an analysis of the Qur’anic accounts of the Children of Israel. It addresses a central problem: how Ibn ‘Āshūr employs ‘ilm al-munāsabah to construct a cohesive narrative unity within these stories. The scope is limited to verses recounting the stories of the Children of Israel in the first half of the Qur’an. Methodologically, it adopts a qualitative analytical-comparative approach, utilizing textual analysis, contextual examination, and comparative exegesis between al-Taḥrīr wa al-Tanwīr and selected classical tafsīr works. Secondary sources were selected for their direct relevance to ‘ilm al-munāsabah and Qur’anic narrative studies. The findings reveal a consistent narrative structure in the stories of the Children of Israel, dispersed across approximately 870 verses in 31 chapters. The study also uncovers Ibn ‘Āshūr’s methodological approach in linking narratives to their surah-level contexts through precise rhetorical, pedagogical, and thematic tools. The results demonstrate the distinctiveness of Ibn ‘Āshūr’s approach compared to classical exegesis in articulating the contextual architecture of Qur’anic stories, making this research a significant contribution to the development of narrative and munāsabah studies in contemporary Qur’anic exegesis.

Abstract

The short story “Ṭabaqu al-Aṣl” by ʿAlī al-Ṭanṭāwī portrays a variety of social problems that reflect the conditions of Arab society at the time of its writing. This study aims to identify and analyze the social issues represented in the text. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method, drawing upon written data contained within the work. Data collection was carried out through close reading, note-taking, and library research. Analytical procedures include identification, interpretation, critical analysis, and the formulation of conclusions. The study adopts Georg Lukács’s Socialist Realism theory as its theoretical framework, examining the ways in which the short story reflects social reality from Lukács’s perspective. The findings indicate several major social issues, including socioeconomic inequality, social hypocrisy in the moral judgment of women, gender inequality within a patriarchal structure, slander, and the tragic consequences of delayed truth recognition.

Abstract

This study examines the extent to which female educational leaders in public schools in the Capital Secretariat of Sana’a adhere to the principles of Islamic leadership, the factors motivating their commitment, and the impact of these principles on leadership practices. The study addresses a notable research gap caused by the scarcity of applied studies on female leadership in Yemen from an Islamic leadership perspective, despite women’s expanding roles in school administration. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, data were collected through a questionnaire administered to a sample of female school leaders. Statistical analysis relied on means and standard deviations, with findings interpreted in light of Islamic leadership principles derived from classical religious sources and supported by contemporary educational literature. The results indicate a high overall level of commitment, particularly to personal, faith-based values such as sincerity, reliance on God, and ethical role modeling. In contrast, interactive and organizational principles—especially consultation (shūrā) and participatory decision-making—were applied at relatively lower levels. The study contributes original field-based insights by integrating an Islamic leadership framework into the analysis of female educational leadership in Yemen.

Abstract

It is noted that structural poverty occurs as a result of divorce, which is predominantly occurring in women as the head of the family. The wife's financial dependence, the absence of standards, regulations and the post-talaq maintenance mechanism are the reasons for this to happen. Weak supervision also contributes to the neglect of obligations by the husband. This research aims to reconstruct the concept of post-talaq livelihood which is expected to be able to ensure that women's economy is rejected during the post-talaq adaptation period to break structural poverty. This study differs from previous studies by integrating classical Islamic jurisprudence with Kiai Sahal Mahfudh’s social fiqh framework and proposing the concept of transitional maintenance as a new model for developing post-divorce maintenance aimed at ensuring women's economic protection. The method used was library research with a normative approach based on classical fiqh literature, legislation, court decisions, and the works of Kiai Sahal Mahfudh. The data obtained were analyzed using a social fiqh framework that emphasizes the public interest, social justice, and the responsiveness of the law to social realities. The results of this study indicate that the concept of post-divorce maintenance, whether in the form of ‘iddah or mut’ah, is still often neglected due to a lack of oversight, its symbolic nature, and its inadequacy in ensuring women’s economic sustainability after divorce in a modern context. The findings indicate that Kiai Sahal Mahfudh's social fiqh, although it does not explicitly formulate the concept of "transitional maintenance" (al-nafaqah al-intiqāliyyah) as a legal term, provides the methodological foundation for reconstructing post-divorce maintenance in a way that promotes public welfare (maṣlaḥah) and social justice. Building upon this foundation, this study proposes the concept of "transitional maintenance" as a novel scholarly interpretation. It is a mechanism of temporary economic protection for divorced women during the adjustment period until they attain economic self-sufficiency.

Abstract

Arabic reading instruction at the university level faces challenges related to students’ difficulties in understanding Arabic texts, limited digital learning media, and the need for authentic instructional materials. This study aimed to analyze the needs for developing QiraApp, a web-based application for Arabic reading instruction using Arabic news texts. The application is designed to support self-directed learning by providing authentic texts and interactive learning activities based on university students’ needs. The novelty of this study lies in analyzing the needs for developing a web-based application that integrates authentic Arabic news texts and interactive activities for Arabic reading instruction in the context of higher education, an aspect that has not been sufficiently explored in previous studies. This study employed a quantitative descriptive approach at the needs analysis stage of the 4D (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate) development model. The participants were 20 students from the Arabic Language Education Study Program at Universitas Negeri Malang. Data were collected through a 20-item Guttman-scale questionnaire. The findings revealed that students experienced difficulties in identifying the main idea (90%), understanding new vocabulary (80%), reading unvowelled Arabic texts (70%), and comprehending Arabic texts in general (65%). The results also indicated a high need for additional learning media, flexible access to learning anytime and anywhere (100%), and browser-based applications without installation (90%). All participants also expressed interest in a web-based application containing Arabic news texts and interactive exercises. These findings indicate that developing QiraApp is a relevant innovative learning medium to support Arabic reading instruction at the university level.
