Abstract

This research aims to reveal the tradition of fasting in the Qur'an at the al-Falah Kudus Islamic Boarding School. The tradition of memorizing the Qur'an cannot be separated from the practice of fasting as a form of leisure in memorizing the Qur'an. The leisure of fasting Dalā'il al-Qur'ān at the al-Falah Islamic Boarding School is carried out when the students have completed the memorization of 30 juz. In practice, this fast must be carried out with the permission of the kyai, even though the number of days is not determined. The findings presented show that the Quran has made students who memorize the Quran memorize it, not just memorize it. The Qur'an has also encouraged them to carry out other special worship activities outside of memorizing the Qur'an. This then allows the worship activity to develop from its original form. Fasting, which was originally carried out without having anything to do with the activity of memorizing the Qur'an, was then carried out within the framework of memorizing the Qur'an. Therefore, the goal to be achieved from the fast also develops. Thus, the fasting of Dalā'il al-Qur'an has made the tradition of memorizing the Qur'an influence the development of orientation and goals to be achieved through fasting.

Abstract

Art has long been a means of expression that serves to create aesthetic works and as a spiritual path that connects the individual to the transcendental dimension and God. In Islam, art has a vital role as a medium for achieving closeness to God, where works such as calligraphy, geometric art, and mosque architecture serve as decoration and meditative and reflective means. The background of this research is the increasingly strong influence of materialism and commercialization in modern art, which has led to the loss of spiritual dimension in artworks. This article uses literature study methodologies and case studies to explore how art remains relevant as a spiritual path in traditional and modern contexts. In the literature study, the author examines works that discuss the relationship between art and spirituality in the Islamic tradition and the contribution of Islamic art in strengthening awareness of God. The results of this study show that although the modern art world is often focused on the commercial aspect, art still has excellent potential to be a spiritual means that can connect individuals with God, personally and collectively. Contemporary Islamic art, through digital technology and interactive media, has managed to create an immersive and immersive spiritual experience for its connoisseurs.

Abstract

The change from the State Islamic Institute (IAIN) Walisongo to the State Islamic University (UIN) Walisongo has influenced the scientific paradigm. The scientific fields taught and developed by UIN Walisongo are increasingly diverse so that a new paradigm is needed, which is reflected in the vision of UIN Walisongo, namely ‘Leading Islamic Research University Based on the Unity of Science for Humanity and Civilisation in 2038’. The consequence of the vision requires all stakeholders at UIN Walisongo to be involved in realising it, so the understanding of UIN Walisongo's vision must be lived by the entire academic community, including students. This study aims to determine the extent to which students of UIN Walisongo understand the vision of UIN Walisongo. This research is a qualitative research with an interview and field study approach. The results of this study indicate that students of UIN Walisongo understand the vision with the following details: 60% of students use the strategy of local wisdom, 30% of students use the strategy of humanisation of Islamic sciences, and 10% of students use the strategy of spiritualisation of general sciences.

Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of God's alienation in modern secular societies through a comparative theological analysis of Tawheed in Islam and the Trinity in Christianity, using these concepts as its primary units of analysis. The research aims to examine how these two fundamental doctrines respond to the challenges of secularism, individualism, and materialism in shaping modern religious consciousness. Using a literature-based comparative theological approach combined with hermeneutic-analytical methods, this study integrates classical and contemporary sources, along with sociological data from global surveys, such as those conducted by the Pew Research Center and the World Values Survey. The findings reveal three key factors contributing to spiritual alienation: the crisis of transcendence, the individualization of belief, and the dominance of materialistic culture. Despite doctrinal differences, both Tawheed and the Trinity face similar struggles in maintaining theological relevance among younger and urban populations that are increasingly skeptical of religious authority. The study contributes to comparative theology by proposing a contextual model for reinterpreting the concept of divinity that balances transcendence with human experience. It also highlights the need to strengthen interfaith dialogue, digital engagement, and contextual theology to ensure that the concept of God remains a transformative moral and spiritual force in the twenty-first century.

Abstract

This article examines the concept of tolerance in Tariq Ramadan's thought as a solution to the identity crisis faced by contemporary Muslims, making Ramadan's tolerance the primary unit of analysis. This research aims to examine how the construction of tolerance offered by Ramadan—which is rooted in Islamic spirituality, dialogue ethics, and psychological awareness—can serve as a framework for restoring the Muslim identity amidst the dynamics of globalization, plurality, and modern cultural pressures. Utilizing library research methods with a qualitative, descriptive, and analytical approach, as well as content analysis, this study examines primary works by Ramadan, along with relevant secondary literature on tolerance, Muslim identity, and Islamic psychology. The study's findings reveal that Ramadan rejects the model of passive tolerance based on power relations and proposes an alternative model of active tolerance, grounded in tawhid, the recognition of God's will in diversity, and the integration of qalb, reason, and social ethics. An analysis of Islamic psychology reveals that tolerance within the framework of Ramadan has a spiritual dimension that can help overcome the crises of meaning, alienation, and identity polarization. The contribution of this research lies in presenting a conceptual model of tolerance with Islamic psychological nuances that can serve as the basis for strengthening Muslim identity, as well as the development of educational, counseling, and intergroup dialogue practices in multicultural societies.

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of Islamic preaching from traditional spaces to digital platforms, focusing on the experiences of state religious counselors in West Sumatra. The unit of analysis is the group of penyuluh agama (religious counselors) under Indonesia's Ministry of Religious Affairs who are adapting their da'wah practices to the algorithmic dynamics of social media. The study aims to explore their level of digital literacy, the challenges they encounter in online preaching, and how these affect their religious authority in a digitally mediated society. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) involving 19 counselors across several districts, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings reveal that most counselors possess low digital literacy and rely on informal learning, resulting in limited online engagement and visibility. Challenges include a lack of technical training, inadequate institutional support, and fear of online misinterpretation. However, participants recognize the potential of digital media to expand da'wah outreach if supported by structured literacy programs and creative content strategies. This study contributes to understanding how state religious authority is being reconfigured in the digital age and provides policy insights for strengthening digital competence within Islamic counseling institutions.
