Abstract

This article examines the shift in meaning offered by Tafsir At-Tanwir by the Tarjih and Tajdid Council of PP Muhammadiyah towards surah al-Baqarah/2: 286. Tafsir At-Tanwir understands that the fragment of the verse lahā mā kasabat in that verse does not only mean recompense in the hereafter but also rewards in the world. Through the descriptive-analytical research method, the writer finds that the shift in meaning cannot be separated from the interpretation paradigm used by Tafsir At-Tanwir, namely the theo-anthropocentric paradigm. Theo-anthropocentric paradigm is a synthesis of the-centrism and anthropocentric paradigms. With this paradigm, Tafsir At-Tanwir carries the theory of corrective distributive justice as a form of correction to the theory of distributive justice proposed by John Rawls with the principle of proportional difference. The basic principle of this theory is that everyone gets rewarded according to their contribution. Tafsir At-Tanwir corrects this principle by stating that some people cannot possibly contribute due to special circumstances, such as physical disabilities or old age. For them, there is a wealth distribution mechanism with worldly and hereafter dimensions, such as through zakat, infaq, and alms. The development of the meaning of surah al-Baqarah/2: 286 is an implication of theo-anthropocentric paradigm.
Inclusive, Exclusive, Didactic: Typologies of Islamic Thought on Apostasy in Muhammadiyah Sholihul Huda; Zuly Qodir; Nafik Muthohirin; Warsidi Warsidi

Abstract

This study explored the typologies of Islamic thought among Muhammadiyah elites in East Java concerning the discourse on apostasy. Responses vary, with the inclusive view treating apostasy as a private matter between the individual and God, a basic human right with no legal consequences, supported by the Qur'an and the 1945 Constitution. The exclusive view, however, sees apostasy as a public offense, where freedom of choice is conditional and legal repercussions are necessary. The didactic perspective understands apostasy as a moral error, best addressed through education and compassionate guidance to encourage a return to Islam. The findings indicate a dominant trend towards inclusive views but reveal inconsistencies, as elites may express inclusive views on religious freedom while adopting exclusive stances on legal aspects of apostasy. Despite these differences, all maintain a didactic approach when dealing with apostasy within families. This study underscored the dynamic nature of Islamic thought in Muhammadiyah, challenging the perception of rigidity and highlighting the influence of diverse sociological and intellectual backgrounds.
History in Motion: Nūr al-Dīn al-Rānīrī’s Retelling of ʿAbbāsid History in Seventeenth Century Aceh Verena Meyer

Abstract

This article focuses on the seventeenth-century Islamic scholar Nūr al-Dīn al-Rānīrī (d. 1658), who became especially known for his harsh oppression of monistic Sufism during his tenure as Shaykh al-Islām at the Acehnese court. Yet, some indications suggest that Rānīrī’s opposition to Sufism was not as clear-cut as it first seems. Revisiting a thus-far unanswered question about a strange idiosyncrasy in Rānīrī’s magnum opus, a universal history in Malay titled Bustān al-Salāṭīn, this article seeks to dislodge simplistic understandings of the legitimacy of certain strands of Sufism, the polemics around charges of being “monistic,” and Rānīrī’s own positionality.

Abstract

Surah al-Balad is recognized as a seminal text in the struggle for the emancipation of the oppressed, resistance to oligarchic practices, and advocacy for the poor. This article examines the scarcity of progressive interpretations of al-Balad, which has confined the surah to ritual reading rather than a practical foundation for social advocacy. In response to the increasing complexity of contemporary social problems, the study aims to reconstruct al-Balad as a theological basis for contemporary social transformation. It employs historical description, hermeneutic analysis of the al-Balad text, and semiotic methods to uncover more authentic meanings. The findings indicate that al-Balad calls on believers to resist injustice and to establish a welfare-oriented social order; the text expresses divine condemnation of oligarchic actors characterized by greed and the subjugation of the vulnerable. The study concludes that the concentration of political and economic power in the hands of a few undermines social order and therefore compels adherents to take a firm stance through both the consolidation of faith and the improvement of their economic conditions. The article recommends raising believers’ critical awareness of their responsibility to support the economically disadvantaged and advancing efforts to create a more equitable economic system to achieve social welfare.

Abstract

This study examines models of civilizational dialogue articulated by Syed Ahmad Khan, Abdul Rahman al-Kawakibi, Shakib Arslan, and Wilfrid Scawen Blunt during the colonial era (1870–1920). Using a comparative historical approach, the research analyzes primary textual sources—including political essays, journalistic writings, literary works, and memoirs—supported by relevant secondary literature. Through thematic analysis and cross-textual comparison, the study identifies four interrelated dialogical frameworks: Khan's Dialogue of Accommodation, emphasizing Islamic–Western synthesis through education; al-Kawakibi's Dialogue of Resistance, which stresses political freedom as a prerequisite for genuine intercultural dialogue; Arslan's Dialogue of Revival, grounded in pan-Islamic solidarity; and Blunt's Dialogue of Empathy, shaped by imperial positionality and moral critique of empire. While previous studies have addressed these figures individually, this research fills a significant gap by offering a systematic comparative analysis of their dialogical visions within a shared colonial context. The findings reveal that, despite differing ideological and geographical backgrounds, all four thinkers advanced models of dialogue grounded in equality, mutual respect, and reciprocal learning, thereby challenging the hierarchical logic of colonial domination. This study contributes to civilizational dialogue theory by providing historically grounded and normatively relevant frameworks for intercultural engagement under conditions of power asymmetry.

Abstract

This article examines the eel story. This narrative is a multi-generational family myth from the Krueng Kalee clan in Aceh, Indonesia. The study investigates how the narrative preserves memories of religious persecution through the use of mythological elements. The research utilizes a qualitative approach. The data consists of in-depth interviews with four tradition bearers selected through purposive sampling. The analysis involves thematic coding and narrative evaluation. Researchers conducted member checking and cross confirmation to ensure data validity. The findings reveal that the story functions as a site of memory for the descendants. The narrative establishes a significant food taboo as a response to ancestral trauma. This article suggests that the story may operate as a hidden transcript. The dietary practice suggests potential historical connections to minority Islamic traditions during the seventeenth-century Aceh Sultanate. This study demonstrates how specific family myths protect marginalized identities in restrictive religious environments.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the dynamics of Quraysh elite conversion through a comparative study of Umar bin Khattab and Khalid bin Walid, focusing on their conversion processes, personal transformations, and institutional contributions to the formation of early Islamic power structures. This study employed a qualitative method utilizing the Political Sociology of Religion approach within the framework of Max Weber's thought, particularly focusing on the concepts of legitimation, authority, and the routinization of charisma. The findings revealed that the conversion of Umar bin Khattab and Khalid bin Walid was not merely a matter of individual religious transformation but also constituted an integral part of the political legitimation mechanism in early Islam. Umar's conversion occurred during the early phase of Islam and contributed to strengthening internal legitimacy and to the transformation toward a more rational and institutionalized political-administrative system. Meanwhile, Khalid's conversion occurred during a phase of power consolidation, strengthening the military as an instrument of expansion and stabilization. Comparatively, both figures demonstrate similar patterns of elite conversion in legitimacy transfer, yet differ in their historical contexts and in the forms of institutional contribution. This research concluded that Quraysh elite conversion constituted a crucial mechanism for the legitimation of power, while simultaneously driving the differentiation of political and military functions within the early Islamic state. Thus, this study affirms that the Islamization of elites not only expanded the socio-religious base but also played a significant role in the formation of an organized and expansive power structure.

Abstract

This study investigates the paradox of traditional, NU-affiliated pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) that continue to use conventional banking services amidst the massive expansion of Islamic banking. Using Pierre Bourdieu’s sociological framework of practice, this article aims to deconstruct the social logic behind this choice, which is often dismissed as inconsistent. Through a qualitative case study method, this research finds that this choice is not an anomaly but a coherent "practical logic" (nalar praktis). This logic manifests in two simultaneous forms. First, a pragmatism driven by a habitus that prioritizes efficiency, community accommodation, and ease of access. This choice is also a rational adaptation to a banking arena dominated by conventional infrastructure. Second, a symbolic resistance emerging from a critical habitus that is skeptical of Islamic banks, often viewing them as "merely different in terminology". This resistance also serves as a strategy to protect symbolic capital (marwah, or dignity), which is legitimized by the flexibility of NU’s fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), which permits such transactions for the sake of public good (maslahah). In conclusion, this choice is a rational-social strategy, not an inconsistency. The implication is that Islamic banks must shift from label-based marketing to a relational approach built on trust.

Abstract

University students today face increasing academic demands, social pressures, and rapid sociocultural changes that may affect their mental well-being. From an Islamic psychological perspective, inner strength and balance are essential for maintaining psychological health. This study aims to examine the relationships between self-care behavior, self-compassion, resilience, and students’ mental well-being, with a particular focus on the mediating role of resilience. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 361 university students using a non-probability sampling technique, and the data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling, Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings indicate that resilience is strongly associated with students’ mental well-being, highlighting its central role as a key psychological resource. Self-care behavior is positively related to both resilience and mental well-being, with resilience acting as an important pathway linking self-care to improved well-being. However, self-compassion does not demonstrate a significant positive relationship with resilience or mental well-being, suggesting that its role may vary across cultural contexts, particularly in non-Western settings. These findings underscore the importance of promoting resilience and adaptive self-care as central components of student mental health interventions. From an Islamic psychological perspective, resilience reflects inner endurance, patience (sabr), and spiritual balance, offering a culturally grounded framework for understanding well-being. This study contributes to a more context-sensitive and integrative approach to student mental health by highlighting the dynamic interaction between behavioral and psychological resources.

Abstract

The study examines the concept of sectarianism within the framework of adab al ikhtilāf (the ethics of disagreement) and finds that this phenomenon is not only a political or security issue but also an ethical and intellectual dilemma in the debate over religion today in the state of Punjab, Pakistan.  Although doctrinal diversity (ikhtilāf) has always been a legitimate and structured feature of Islamic scholarship, rooted in epistemic humility, sincere intention (Ikhlas), and community solidarity (jamāʾah), there has been a gradual breakdown of these moral checks in modern sectarian discourse.  Addressing this analytical gap, the study posed the following question: How does classical Islamic scholarship regulate disagreement, and to what extent are these principles visible in, or absent from, the religious discourse of Punjab today? Using qualitative, doctrinal, and analytical methods, the research reconstructs the classical ethical framework, grounded in Qur'anic, prophetic, and jurisprudential sources, and applies it critically to contemporary sectarian narratives in Punjab. The results indicated that sectarian polarization in Punjab is not due primarily to theological differences but to a systematic neglect of the ethical principles that have historically governed legitimate disagreement. This study proceeds in two interrelated stages. Firstly, it builds a classical Islamic ethical system for disagreement by reading and analyzing primary sources. Secondly, it argues that reviving adab al‑ikhtilāf offers a tradition‑based model for principled religious pluralism by reconnecting normative Islamic ethics with the study of contemporary sectarian discourse.
