Abstract

This research aims to address the cognitive gap among contemporary Indonesian society, which predominantly confines itself to vocal recitation without comprehending the profound linguistic nuances and Quranic objectives. Specifically, this study analyzes the role of "Quranic Rhetorical Analysis" on enhancing linguistic comprehension and developing rhetorical intuition among non-Arabic speakers through an accessible, functional exegetical-stylistic approach. The novelty of this research lies in presenting a functional rhetorical model that bridges the structural nuances of Quranic ordering with the analytical features of the Indonesian language, transcending literal translations. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method based on library research to extrapolate rhetorical structures and deconstruct their semantic frameworks, grounded in Al-Jurjani’s Theory of Nazhm (Syntactic Ordering) and stylistic-semantic analytical frameworks. The study focuses on selected Quranic texts: Surah Al-Baqarah: 21, Surah Yusuf: 1-3, and Surah Al-Hujurat: 13. Findings demonstrate that applying rhetorical analysis directly shifts societal linguistic perception from surface-level reception to conscious stylistic appreciation. This successfully elevates linguistic competence and facilitates the understanding of semantic nuances without traditional grammatical complexities. The study concludes that integrating rhetorical analysis into Indonesian social reality offers a functional epistemological model capable of bridging the gap between recited Quranic text and comprehensive linguistic understanding.

Abstract

Teaching reading skills at MAN Bontang predominantly relies on passive text reception, literal translation, and rote memorization, which hinders students' independent analytical skills. The research gap stems from the fact that existing instructional materials fail to integrate constructivist activities, the 5E inquiry model, and digital media into reading instruction. To address this gap, this study aimed to develop the "Miftah An-Najah" reading textbook and to evaluate its validity and usability. Constructivist theory serves as the theoretical foundation for this textbook, whereas the 5E inquiry model is the practical application of this theory. The study employed a Research and Development methodology following the ADDIE model. The study sample comprised 31 eleventh-grade students at MAN Bontang, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observations, interviews, expert validation forms, and a student response questionnaire. Observation and interview data were analyzed qualitatively, whereas the validation scores and student responses were analyzed using percentage formulas. The results demonstrated that the textbook achieved validity scores of 96% from the material expert and 97% from the media expert. Furthermore, student feedback reached 93.3%, confirming high acceptance and ease of use. The study’s primary novelty lies in synthesizing constructivist theory, 5E inquiry, inductive learning, and digital media within a printed reading textbook.

Abstract

This article examines the changing orientation of Western hadith studies during the period 2010–2020. Although debates over hadith authenticity remain an important theme, the question of authenticity alone is no longer considered sufficient to explain how hadith authority is constructed, how commentary (sharḥ) traditions develop, and how reports are used in diverse intellectual contexts. This study aims to investigate the changing position of authenticity as a research problem and to analyze the relationship between source criticism and contextual reconstruction in contemporary hadith scholarship. The research employs a qualitative library-based approach using intellectual history and comparative analysis. The primary corpus consists of twenty-three purposively selected academic publications. Each work is examined through five analytical indicators: research object, research question, type of evidence, method of analysis, and scope of conclusions. The findings reveal four overlapping areas of inquiry: the evaluation of hadith dating methods, the relationship between hadith, law, and scholarly authority, manuscript and commentary studies, and reflections on the limits of historical inference. This classification is not intended to describe a universal developmental sequence for the entire field of Western hadith studies. Rather, it serves as an analytical framework for interpreting the selected corpus. The study demonstrates that authenticity has not disappeared from contemporary hadith scholarship. In some works, authenticity remains the primary objective of research, while in others it functions as a starting point for investigating the history of transmission, usage, and interpretation of hadith. Based on these findings, the article proposes a model of contextual reconstruction that connects research questions with the evidence employed and the limits of the claims that may be drawn from it. The proposed model offers a more balanced framework for assessing arguments across different methodological approaches without reducing methodological differences to conflicts of academic identity.
