Abstract

Religious moderation is an important issue in religious higher education in Indonesia, especially in State Islamic Religious Universities. In an effort to create an inclusive and tolerant academic environment, scientific integration is one of the strategic approaches. This article aims to analyze the role of scientific integration in strengthening religious moderation on religious campuses in Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analyses related to curriculum and learning guidelines at several State Islamic Religious Universities  in Indonesia. The results showed that scientific integration at State Islamic Religious Universities has included aspects of religious moderation, although it is not always explicitly mentioned in the curriculum. Learning materials that combine general science and religious science facilitate the development of moderate attitudes among students. Some indicators of religious moderation found in the curriculum include respect for differences, acceptance of diversity, and strengthening the values of Pancasila as the basis of the state and a guide to life. This study also found that the Indonesian Qualifications Framework based curriculum can strengthen religious moderation if implemented systematically and comprehensively in academic activities, both through learning, research, and community service.

Abstract

This article examines the concept of Qaul as a foundational paradigm for message theory within Islamic communication studies. While dominant communication theories commonly conceptualize messages as neutral units of information exchange, the Islamic intellectual tradition understands speech as an ethically accountable act with social and moral consequences. This study aims to elaborate on the multidimensional character of Qaul within Islamic epistemology and to explore its relevance for contemporary communication discourse. Using a conceptual qualitative approach based on library research, the study analyzes classical Islamic sources together with contemporary literature in communication studies. The analysis demonstrates that Qaul cannot be reduced to a merely linguistic act or a vehicle for information transmission; rather, it represents a normative communicative construct that shapes belief formation, ethical orientation, and social cohesion. The findings indicate that Qaul operates simultaneously across cognitive, moral, and relational dimensions, thereby situating communication within a framework of responsibility and accountability. Furthermore, the article highlights the relevance of the Qaul paradigm for contemporary communication practices, particularly within digital environments characterized by information abundance, fragmentation, and ethical ambiguity. By proposing an integrative theoretical framework, this study positions Qaul as a core concept that can enrich existing message theories and contribute to the development of a distinctive philosophy of Islamic communication grounded in Islamic epistemology.

Abstract

This research aims to study the ethics of pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) from the perspectives of two prominent figures, Al-Ghazali and Immanuel Kant, by examining their approaches to morality and character building of students. By using descriptive qualitative research methods and literature study, this research analyzes the ethical concepts of both figures and their implications for educational practices in pesantren. Al-Ghazali emphasizes the importance of noble character rooted in spiritual dimensions and self-control, while Immanuel Kant offers the concept of categorical imperative which focuses on universal moral duty and rationality. This study finds that integrating Al-Ghazali's spiritual approach with Immanuel Kant's rationality can provide a strong foundation for the character formation of students that not only focuses on religious values but also on universal moral responsibilities. The results of this paper are expected to have a positive impact both theoretically and practically for the development of pesantren curriculum, particularly in efforts to produce a generation of students with high morality, critical thinking skills, and the ability to face global challenges while adhering to pesantren's ethical values.

Abstract

Al-Qur’an dan Terjemahnja, published by the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA), has often been criticized by scholars for reflecting gender-biased interpretations. However, the revisions conducted between 1998 and 2002 indicate attempts to address gender-related concerns in the Indonesian translation of the Qur’an. This article examines how gender discourse influenced the revision of the translation during the Reformasi period. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and Roger Fowler’s critical discourse analysis, this study analyzes linguistic changes introduced in the revised edition of Al-Qur’an dan Terjemahnja. The analysis shows that several translation choices were modified to reflect a more gender-responsive perspective. For instance, the term wanita was replaced with perempuan, the description of women’s creation was reformulated, and the term pemimpin (leader) was translated as pelindung (protector). In addition, women were no longer consistently positioned as direct objects of male desire. These revisions indicate a shift from a more patriarchal orientation toward a gender-responsive translation. The study argues that this transformation was closely linked to the expanding gender discourse during the Reformasi era, particularly the institutionalization of gender mainstreaming policies in Indonesia.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital technology and social media has intensified the phenomenon of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), a psychological condition characterized by anxiety arising from the perception of being excluded from rewarding social experiences. While existing studies have primarily examined FOMO from psychological and technological perspectives, limited attention has been given to the potential contribution of Islamic spiritual traditions in addressing this contemporary challenge. This study revisits the concept of ‘uzlah in the thought of Sheikh Nawawi al-Bantani and explores its relevance within the framework of Islamic spirituality in responding to the problem of FOMO in the digital era. Employing a qualitative library research approach, the study analyzes Nawawi al-Bantani’s writings and related classical and contemporary literature using content analysis. The findings indicate that ‘uzlah, understood as a conscious and temporary withdrawal from harmful social influences, functions as a spiritual discipline that strengthens worship, promotes self-reflection (tafakkur), cultivates emotional independence, and regulates social interaction. These elements contribute to reducing excessive social comparison and psychological pressure associated with hyper-connectivity in digital environments. The study argues that ‘uzlah should not merely be interpreted as physical isolation but as a form of ethical and spiritual regulation of social engagement. Consequently, the concept provides a meaningful framework within Islamic spirituality for addressing contemporary psychological challenges related to social media and digital life.

Abstract

This article examines the dynamics of Islamic reform in Minangkabau through an analysis of the thought of Abdul Karim Amrullah, focusing on how he conceptualized the integration of theology, rationality, and scientific knowledge within his reformist project. While global scholarship on Islamic reform and the relationship between religion and science has largely focused on Middle Eastern thinkers, the intellectual contributions of Southeast Asian Muslim scholars remain relatively underexplored. Addressing this gap, the study investigates how Abdul Karim Amrullah articulated an epistemological framework that harmonizes revelation, reason, and science. The findings reveal that Abdul Karim Amrullah understood theology, rationality, and science as complementary rather than competing sources of knowledge. Grounded in the principle of tawḥīd, revelation functions as the ultimate normative authority, while reason operates as a divinely endowed faculty for interpreting both sacred texts and the natural world. Scientific inquiry, in this perspective, becomes a means of contemplating āyāt kawniyyah and strengthening religious consciousness. The study argues that Islamic reform in Minangkabau was not merely a movement of religious purification but also a project of epistemological reconstruction that sought to integrate theology, rational reasoning, and modern scientific knowledge. By situating Abdul Karim Amrullah’s thought within broader debates on Islam and science, the article highlights the contribution of Southeast Asian Islamic intellectual traditions to contemporary discussions on Islamic modernization.

Abstract

This article explores the dynamic role of religion in responding to contemporary human anxiety, particularly through a reflection on the interrelation between reason, language, and faith. In a modern context characterized by fragmentation of meaning and psychological stress, religion is often perceived as outdated or merely symbolic. This paper argues that the root of the problem lies not in religious teachings themselves, but in how they are understood, conveyed, and lived. Using a conceptual-qualitative and interdisciplinary approach that integrates linguistic studies, existential philosophy, and the psychology of religion, this study emphasizes the importance of religion as a space for dialogue and responsiveness rather than a system that silences questions. The article discusses three main subthemes: (1) the role of language as a medium of existential expression in religion; (2) the function of reason in interpreting dynamic faith; and (3) religion’s role as a responsive answer to human anxiety. The analysis of these subthemes suggests that mature religiosity promotes openness, spiritual freedom, and moral maturity. Thus, this article offers a framework for interpreting religion that is not only theologically relevant but also existentially and ethically impactful in daily life.

Abstract

The global ecological crisis cannot be adequately addressed solely through technological and economic solutions; it also requires the revival of spiritual awareness and environmental ethics. This article examines the concept of ecosufism in the Javanese mystical text Suluk Wujil, traditionally attributed to Sunan Bonang, by analyzing the depiction of the harmonious relationship between God, humans, and nature within the framework of Nusantara Islamic spirituality. This qualitative study employs a library research approach and is analyzed using Sufi hermeneutics and a Sufi cosmological perspective. The findings reveal that Suluk Wujil presents a cosmological framework integrating the metaphysical doctrine of waḥdat al-wujūd with Javanese cosmological concepts, particularly jagad ageng (macrocosm) and jagad alit (microcosm). This synthesis reflects a spiritual worldview in which nature is understood as a manifestation of divine presence rather than merely an object of exploitation. Furthermore, this study proposes the concept of “Ecosufistic Makrifat Epistemology,” suggesting that the attainment of makrifat involves not only inner spiritual transformation but also ecological awareness and ethical responsibility toward nature. Thus, Suluk Wujil offers a Nusantara ecosufism framework that provides a spiritual–ethical foundation for addressing contemporary ecological challenges.

Abstract

This article examines the historical transformation of zuhd (asceticism) into Sufism as a significant ethical and epistemological development in early Islamic spirituality. While previous studies have explored the origins of Sufism, relatively little attention has been given to how this transition reshaped the moral and intellectual formation of the religious subject. This study therefore investigates the emergence of what may be called the “Sufi self” through the gradual transformation of early Islamic ascetic practices. Using a historical–textual approach, the article analyzes the teachings of three influential figures in early Islamic piety: al-Ḥasan al-Baṣrī, Rābiʿah al-ʿAdawiyyah, and al-Ḥārith al-Muḥāsibī. Their ethical and spiritual teachings illustrate the shift from an ascetic discipline grounded in fear of divine judgment toward a more interiorized spirituality centered on love, introspection, and self-knowledge. By situating these developments within the socio-historical context of early Abbasid society, the study shows how changing social conditions contributed to the interiorization of religious practice. The findings suggest that the emergence of the Sufi self represents not a rupture with early Islamic asceticism but its transformation into a reflective spiritual anthropology in which ethical vigilance becomes a form of epistemic self-awareness. This study contributes to the broader understanding of early Sufism by demonstrating how the ascetic ethos of zuhd evolved into a systematic discipline of inner knowledge and moral self-examination.
