<![CDATA[This study aims to assess individual habits in adopting digital payment technologies in Islamic philanthropic institutions. This research uses the UTAUT model, which explains user behavior in relation to information technology adoption. The population of this study was people who have used digital payments in philanthropic institutions, e.g., M-banking, QRIS, e-wallet, e-money, crowdfunding, marketplace, etc. A sample of 250 respondents was obtained using a random sampling technique. The UTAUT model was performed using structural equation modeling (SEM) via SmartPLS. The results showed that all constructs had a significant positive impact, except for the effect of facilitating conditions on usage behavior. This study shows that the digitization of payment transactions is still aimed at the segment of well-informed technology users. Policyholders, therefore, need to become more involved in the digital transformation campaign, which targets all potential segments, e.g., the middle-aged working class. Due to this segmentation, they have a high awareness of donations in addition to the income opportunities.]]>

<![CDATA[FPI is one among several Islamist Groups in Indonesia. Seeing through its fierce actions, people tend to judge FPI as radicals. Some political elites even classify it as terrorist. Despite the fact that it violates many rules, FPI claims to be a religious and pious one. The government disbanded FPI at the end of 2020 because of its numerous violent actions. However, it continues to get support from many Islamic communities. For some conservative Muslims, FPI actions are a sample of how Islamic teaching should be applied in daily life. Using qualitative research and narrative analysis, this paper explored the narrative of Sacred Text, especially the Quran and Hadith presented by FPI, on how it is managed, interpreted, and spread to the public. This paper also explored the possible errors FPI made in narrating sacred text. The results show FPI’s determination to interpret and narrate sacred text as a way to achieve a goal, without considering the views of other religious scholars and books that can better guide narrating and interpreting the Sacred Text.]]>

<![CDATA[The emergence of terrorist groups in the Aceh Province, which is spreading, was revealed after reports from residents and local clerics about armed training carried out by this radical group in Bukit Jalin, Aceh Besar, in September 2009. This terrorism case attracted the attention of the local government and local community. All of this has mainly happened because the expansion of the material world and technology has structured new settings for needs and patterns of life and created fields or jobs (occupations) that are very different from what had developed in the agrarian society in Aceh that was pre-Islamic. -industry. These changes in employment are directly related to economic development in the era of capitalism, which in turn requires investment in capital goods and an increase in the standard of prosperity. As a result, “as the economy develops, the need for skilled workers, technologists, and generally educated people increases almost geometrically”. Thus, what is then witnessed is the continuous adjustment efforts of the traditional and modern world of education into the dynamics of the expansion of the material and technological world. With the emergence of terrorist movements and radical movements that try to offer perspectives and solutions that are based on considerations of violence in addressing the problems of modernity and Indonesianness, it is necessary to play the role of ulama and community leaders who are able to raise socio-cultural capital to deal with the problems of radicalism and terrorism in Aceh/Indonesia in the era of capitalism, in addition to strict law enforcement to eradicate terrorism that threatens our people in Aceh and Indonesia.]]>

<![CDATA[Centuries after the miḥnah, the problem of the status of the Qurʿān and God’s speech in general persisted as a crucial theological problem discussed among Muslim theologians. This study examines the solution to this debate suggested by Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī (d. 606/1210), an Ashʿarite-Shafiʿite theologian, with special reference to his book Khalq al-Qurʾān Bayn al-Muʿtazilah Wa Ahl al-Sunnah. It aims principally to discuss how al-Rāzī responds to the objections from his opponents on the nature of God’s speech, its uniqueness, and its pre-eternity. This research found that despite his affiliation to Ashʿarite school, al-Rāzī took a more moderate position towards the Muʿtazilah compared to his predecessors. He accepts the argument of the Muʿtazilah school that is built on the different conceptions of speech (kalām). We also found that the main key to understanding the debate between the pre-eternity or adventitiousness of God’s speech, including the Qur’ān, derived principally from the definition of speech itself. Rāzī does not reject the createdness of the external dimension of God’s speech, but he defends that its inner dimension (kalām nafs) is eternal. Furthermore, al-Rāzī also does not hesitate to borrow the falsafa theory to solve the problem of the pre-eternity of kalām as God’s attribute.]]>

<![CDATA[Learning for marginalized children has taken place in conditions not befitting other schools in general. There are many challenges faced by students and school managers, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to analyze Islamic resilience implemented by marginal school managers to strive for educational transformation. This qualitative study used a case study approach, with data collected through interviews and direct observations in the research location. The results show that the dimensions of Islamic resilience implemented by MSC management are optimism, problem analysis, empathy, and self-confidence. The belief that God does not give burdens beyond human ability and that the best human beings are those that benefit others is a strength for school administrators to remain as members for marginalized children to continue their education. The learning concept of the Marginal School Community is oriented toward children, adjusting to their age level, with reading, writing, mathematical materials, creativity, and religious material. The learning methods employed include learning by doing, learning while playing, and outings. The curriculum used in marginal schools is inclusive and accessible, developed by the MSC curriculum team. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, learning is still conducted face-to-face, albeit with reduced learning hours and the number of MSC volunteers attending classes. The strategy for maintaining learning consistency in marginal schools is achieved through open recruitment of volunteers and internal reinforcement or team building.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper examines Khaled Abou El Fadl’s thoughts that focus on applying humanistic Sharia. Khaled considers the spread of Sharia with a humanistic pattern important because of the problem of not realizing the ideals of Islamic teachings that uphold justice, welfare, and other universal values at the level of reality for Muslims who experience backwardness and alienation. According to Khaled, this happened due to a misunderstanding in understanding the Sharia, resulting in a wrong practice. The misunderstanding that gave rise to this wrong practice has global implications, assuming that Islam is a non-humanistic religion. By using the analytical description method, this paper reformulates the humanistic Sharia proposed by Khaled from several of his works and rearranges it based on the theory of the leveling norms.]]>

<![CDATA[This article outlines the philosophical view of Ahmad Syafii Maarif (ASM) in addressing internal conflicts within Muslims by tracing its root causes among Arab elites, starting from the time of the Prophet’s companions to inter-Arab conflicts in the contemporary era. This research is qualitative with a narrative approach using data from ASM’s writings and other related sources. The researchers collected, summarized, and presented data in a narrative format before concluding the data. Data analysis was conducted using Miles and Huberman’s thematic analysis technique. This article shows that the conflict among Muslims today, including in Indonesia, according to ASM, is the result of the legacy of conflict among Arab elites that began with the Prophet’s companions until the conflict between Arab nations in the contemporary era. The root of the problem in the conflict is the desire for political power by Arab elites. ASM’s post-Chicago studies resulted in substantial shifts in his attitude and philosophical perspective. He reevaluated the role of Islamic ethics in society concerning the concept of an Islamic state, encouraged interreligious tolerance among Muslims, questioned traditional female roles in Islam, and took a more critical stance toward sectarian differences within the faith. Indeed, ASM’s thought is supposed to be an alternative for resolving the internal conflict among Muslims worldwide.]]>

<![CDATA[Character education is important to instill in early childhood. The purpose of this research is to see the concept of character education for early childhood from the perspective of the Qur'an. The importance of education is not only found in the perspective of national education but also in the Qur'an, which leads to the formation of human morality. The method used in this study was by conducting library research. This descriptive research used a qualitative approach. Simultaneously, the data analysis technique applied content analysis by emphasizing the constancy of the content of communication, the meaning of the content of communication, the reading of symbols, and the meaning of the contents of the interaction of symbols in communication. The results of this study show that the Qur'an pays attention to education to shape the morale of early childhood and Muslims so that they become a person with a strong character. The novelty in research is that the Qur'an has outlined character education for early childhood by forming human morals through a) education and science (Q.S al-Baqarah: 266), b) cultivation of faith (Q.S an-Nisa: 59), and c) implementation of the Shari'a (Q.S al-Ankabut: 45). The implication of this research is that it can be applied as the main principle in Islamic education to shape the character of early childhood and as an effort to reorient the concept of Islamic education contained in the Qur'an.]]>

<![CDATA[Researchers have widely reviewed the study of neuroscience, but the historicity of this science is not widely known. The rapid development of modern neuroscience cannot be separated from the contributions of Muslim scientists in the Middle Ages. This paper aims to explain the history of neuroscience in the Islamic intellectual tradition and its development to influence Western civilization. For this reason, this paper uses a descriptive-analytical method with library research. The study results show that Muslim scientists such as Abu Zaid Al-Balkh, Ibn Sina, Al-Ghazali Az-Zahrawi, and Al-Razi's contribution to modern neuroscience is impressive and cannot be forgotten. As an example of research on the brain's anatomy and its disorders discussed by Vesalius and Golgi, they refer a lot to books by Ibn Sina, Al-Balkhi, and Al-Zahrawi. Rene Descartes, who discovered the theory of brain physiology, has long been discussed by Al-Razi. Even the introduction of the relationship between brain and brain function was only known in the 17th century and has long been discussed by Al-Ghazali. An original and imaginative thought regarding one of the human body’s organs, Muslims are unaware of the extensive research done on neuroscience by traditional Muslim scholars, who were able to bring Islamic culture to its pinnacle in Andalusia and Cordoba. Therefore, it is appropriate to bring the findings back into the study material with full seriousness in the form and fresh face if Muslims want to advance.]]>

<![CDATA[The current research is crucial in order to foster inclusive Islamic education for children with Down syndrome as well as address their psychological well-being. This study aimed to investigate diverse Islamic education methods suitable for children with Down syndrome while emphasizing the importance of educators employing Islamic teaching strategies. This research employed a qualitative approach and the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method to evaluate the intersection of Islamic learning methods and Down Syndrome. The published papers discussed in this study were obtained using the Publish or Perish 8 software. The papers must be published within the five-year timeframe between 2018 and 2023 with the keywords "Islamic Learning Methods" and "Down Syndrome." The search of papers resulted in the discovery of 222 articles discussing Islamic methods, and only 16 were specific to Down Syndrome, with only four of them addressing the application of Islamic teaching methods for individuals with Down Syndrome. The findings of this study highlighted teaching strategies such as On-Task Conduct, Imitation, Discriminative Usage of Objects, and Word Recognition. The study identifies three main learning strategies for students with Down syndrome: the Talaqqi wa Musyafahah, Quran therapy, and Islamic Full Communication methods. This study concluded the necessity for further research on modified educational approaches that effectively support the learning and well-being of children with Down syndrome within the context of Islamic education.]]>
