Abstract

In today’s digital era, Islamic apologetics has moved away from traditional theological debates and toward more dynamic and widely publicized presentations.  Social media now acts as a stage for figures like Bang Zuma to defend their beliefs with bold moves and identity-driven narratives. This mirrors Stuart Hall’s concept of the politics of representation, where other groups are cast as symbolic rivals in cultural struggles over meaning and power. Using Teun A. van Dijk’s Critical Discourse Analysis, this study looks at two of Bang Zuma’s YouTube videos through three angles: macrostructure (big-picture ideological themes), superstructure (how arguments are built), and microstructure (language and style). The results show a symbolic battle that asserts Islam’s dominance while discrediting others. Through deliberate word choice, repeated religious symbols, and a showy communication style, faith becomes a moral performance mixing theology with spectacle. In the end, digital Islamic apologetics works both to defend belief and to put on an ideological show that upholds religious authority while deepening social and religious divides, showing how religion adapts to media logic where representation turns into a contest for meaning and identity.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of organizational culture in managing productive waqf at Muhammadiyah Sukajadi Bandung and its implications for socio-economic empowerment. The key concepts include productive waqf, organizational culture, nazhir, and progressive Islam. The research employs a qualitative case study design, utilizing in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The object of the study is the management of waqf assets in Muhammadiyah Sukajadi Bandung, particularly in education, business, and health sectors. The main findings reveal that the success of productive waqf is strongly supported by an organizational culture that emphasizes sincerity, professionalism, transparency, and ideological commitment, enabling waqf to function as a sustainable social investment instrument. The major challenges include limited managerial capacity of some nazhir, resistance to innovation, and public perceptions of waqf as a static asset. Practical recommendations highlight the importance of strengthening Islamic economic literacy, professional training for waqf managers, and developing innovative waqf models. This study contributes to Islamic economic theory and organizational sociology by proposing a conceptual framework of religious organizational culture as symbolic social capital in productive waqf governance.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation challenges of the Groundwater Tax (Pajak Air Tanah, PAT) in Sumedang Regency from the perspective of fiscal decentralization and Islamic normative support for Sustainable Resource governance. Drawing on audited financial reports for the 2022-2024 fiscal years and a review of taxation, water resource, and licensing regulations, the study finds that PAT realization consistently fell short of the target, dropping from 64.15% in 2023 to 55.57% in 2024, despite high extraction potential. These weaknesses are driven by partial revenue assignment, reliance on provincial authorities to determine the Groundwater Acquisition Value, regulatory disharmony, licensing delays, and weak inter-agency coordination. Beyond institutional constraints, Islamic ethical principles – khalifah (stewardship), israf (prohibition of waste), and maslahah (public interest) – reinforce the legitimacy of groundwater taxation for environmental protection and social welfare. The study highlights the urgency of harmonizing regulations, strengthening administrative capacity, and integrating licensing and taxation systems.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the contribution of an academic visit conducted by the Scientific Consortium of UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung to the strengthening of knowledge integration, institutional development, and academic collaboration at UIN Alauddin Makassar. Key concepts employed in this study include knowledge integration, higher education benchmarking, epistemic networking, and Islamic higher education governance. This research adopts a qualitative case study approach, utilizing field observations, focus group discussions, limited interviews, and institutional document analysis. The scope of the study covers the Faculty of Ushuluddin, the Institute for Research and Community Service (LP2M), and the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FKIK) at UIN Alauddin Makassar. The findings reveal that knowledge integration at UIN Alauddin Makassar has moved beyond conceptual formulation toward institutionalization, as reflected in integrative curricula, research governance, laboratory development, and value-based professional education. Academic visits function as an effective mechanism for institutional learning and epistemic reflection, fostering the consolidation of integrative paradigms and strategic institutional development within Islamic higher education. Key challenges include limitations in research infrastructure, disparities in human resource capacity, and the rigidity of national accreditation and professional standards. This study recommends strengthening inter-institutional research collaboration, developing sustainable benchmarking models, and deepening governance-based knowledge integration. This study contributes empirically to the literature on knowledge integration in Islamic higher education by demonstrating how integrative paradigms are operationalized through institutional policies, academic practices, and benchmarking-based collaboration.

Abstract

The principle of the best interest of the child constitutes a central normative foundation for post-divorce child custody protection within Islamic family law. Although this principle is widely recognised in statutory regulations and judicial practice, its application and juridical consequences vary considerably across legal systems. This study examines the regulation and application of the best interest of the child principle in Islamic family law in Indonesia and Malaysia, with particular attention to the legal implications arising from differences in their normative and procedural designs. Employing a normative legal research method with comparative and doctrinal approaches, the study analyses legislation, the Compilation of Islamic Law, judicial decisions, and relevant scholarly literature on Islamic family law and child protection in both jurisdictions. The analytical framework draws upon the concepts of ḥaḍānah and maqāṣid al-sharīʿah to assess the relationship between custody determination and the execution of court decisions. The findings demonstrate that both Indonesia and Malaysia formally recognise the best interest of the child as the guiding principle in determining child custody under Islamic family law. However, divergent normative and procedural configurations produce distinct juridical outcomes. In Indonesia, child custody protection predominantly operates as custody protection as declarative justice, where judicial decisions establish legal entitlements without being supported by effective enforcement mechanisms. In contrast, Malaysia’s Islamic family law system reflects a model of custody protection as enforceable justice, integrating custody determinations with enforcement measures and legal sanctions for non-compliance. These findings underscore that child protection in Islamic family law is shaped not merely by normative recognition, but by the extent to which legal systems connect custody determinations with enforceable institutional mechanisms.

Abstract

Customary marriage functions as a social institution under numerous legal systems; yet, its implementation often poses significant obstacles to the safeguarding of children's rights, especially when performed without official registration or involving minors. This paper investigates the normative boundaries of customary marriage within the context of Islamic family law, emphasizing child protection via a comparative examination of Indonesia and South Africa. This study uses normative legal research methods—integrating legislative, conceptual, and comparative approaches—to analyse customary marital patterns, child protection norms, and judicial reactions in both countries. The findings indicate that Islamic family law acknowledges custom (‘urf) only under the condition that it aligns with the objectives of Sharīʿah (maqāṣid al-sharīʿah), specifically the safeguarding of progeny (ḥifẓ al-nasl), the mitigation of harm (dar’ al-mafāsid), and the attainment of justice (‘adl). The prevalence of unregistered traditional marriages and lenient marriage dispensation norms in Indonesia compromises children's legal identification, parental responsibility, and access to civil rights. Conversely, South Africa enforces more stringent normative regulations via compulsory registration and judicial measures to amend customary behaviors detrimental to children. This paper normatively asserts that child safety is an essential requirement for the legality of customary marriage and illustrates how Islamic family law serves as an internal corrective mechanism within diverse legal systems.

Abstract

This study explores the representation of Islam in political talk shows on two major Indonesian news television stations—tvOne and CNN Indonesia—during the lead-up to the 2024 Presidential Election. Using a qualitative approach and document analysis method, the research focuses on two episodes that exemplify how Islamic identity is framed: Catatan Demokrasi from tvOne and Political Show from CNN Indonesia. Guided by Halliday’s social semiotics and Hall’s theory of representation, the analysis investigates both audio-visual content and discursive structures to reveal underlying patterns of meaning. The findings show that Islam is often reduced to a socio-political identity marker attached to certain political figures rather than explored as a religious or philosophical system. Such framing, recurrently amplified by hosts and guests, leads to the oversimplification and banalization of Islamic identity in mainstream media. While political identity and religious symbolism appear repeatedly in these discussions, the programs lack theoretical clarity and depth regarding the concept of identity politics. The study contributes to media and communication studies by offering a critical reflection on the media’s role in shaping public perceptions of Islam. It also proposes a new way to conceptualize televised representation by emphasizing the ethical implications of religious commodification during electoral periods. The research calls for a more responsible media practice that upholds the integrity of religious identity and fosters inclusive political discourse.

Abstract

This study analyzes the approach to Qur'āniyyūn interpretation and doctrine at Majlis Tarbiyyah (MTb) Garut, which holds that the Qur'ān is the sole source of Islamic law and rejects the authority of hadith. Historically, Qur'āniyyūn ideas in Indonesia overlap with the Inkar Sunnah movement and the Indonesian Islamic State (NII) network, despite being formally banned. This study highlights the continuity and transformation of these thoughts in the contemporary context through an exclusive interpretation methodology developed by MTb. Using a qualitative approach grounded in literature reviews, interviews, and observations, this study examines the primary texts of Qur'āniyyūn figures and related secondary sources. The analysis focuses on the construction of interpretations of Qur'ānic verses into doctrines, including the conception of the Torah School, and on the possibility of renewing these ideas in light of the thoughts of previous Qur'anic scholars in Indonesia. This study contributes to mapping the dynamics of alternative interpretations in modern Islamic society.

Abstract

Public security and order are essential foundations of social and state life. In the Qur’anic perspective, security (amān) is not limited to physical protection but also includes social peace, justice, and public welfare. The Indonesian National Police (Polri) holds a strategic role in translating these values into concrete practices of law enforcement and national security. This study examines the Qur’anic concept of public security and order and analyzes its implications for Polri’s duties within the modern Indonesian state. Using a qualitative-normative approach, the research applies textual analysis of relevant Qur’anic verses and compares them with Polri’s regulations, roles, and institutional mandates, supported by academic literature on religion, law, and policing. The findings show a strong alignment between Polri’s responsibilities and Qur’anic principles, particularly in upholding justice, protecting fundamental human rights, prioritizing social harmony, and maintaining order through a humanistic approach. Integrating Qur’anic values into Polri’s operations can enhance institutional legitimacy, strengthen professionalism, and promote sustainable security in the face of contemporary challenges.

Abstract

In 2019–2020, Indonesia had 203,488 early childhood education (PAUD) units serving 5,691,201 students with 431,215 educators; West Java alone had 28,723 units. To address cost and distance barriers to competency development, this R&D study developed and tested an online training model (synchronous/asynchronous, MOOC-based) for PAUD educators. Data (interviews, observations, documentation, focus group discussions, questionnaires) from 70 sample participants indicated that educators possessed pedagogical, personality, social, and professional competencies but required continuous skill enhancement. Pre-post tests demonstrated significant competency improvement after the online training, and user trials reported high satisfaction and alignment with career needs. The study concluded that online training is effective when implemented collaboratively, participatory, and constructively to encourage educators' learning independence.
