Abstract

The inevitable rise of modernity means that clerics will lose their role and will no longer be autonomous. Nevertheless, as a new way to maintain their position in society and strengthen their authority, it is not uncommon for them (ulama) to use technological advances to record fatwas and advice delivered to the public. This study examines several fundamental issues concerning how Ali Jum`ah and Yusuf al-Qaradhawi build their religious authority through new media, and to what extent new media plays a role in increasing their religious authority. This research found the way the two figures built their religious authority through new media. Ali Jum`ah built his religious authority through new media when he led Dar al-Ifta. He turned Dar al-Ifta into a modern global institution based on new media. Meanwhile, al-Qaradhawi built his religious authority through new media by cooperating with experts and various professionals in the field of media, one of them being through the Qatar-based al-Jazeera TV channel. The power and role of new media utilized by the two figures were able to mobilize an unprecedented number of people, thus strengthening their authority. This research contributes to producing new knowledge about the emergence of Islamic public space through the presence of new media in the Islamic world as an effort to stimulate and expand the movement of ijtihad that is more responsible and more effective in this contemporary era.

Abstract

This paper reveals descriptively the textual basis of Muhammad Abdullah Darraz’s thoughts as stated in his work Dustūr al-Akhlāq fī al-Qur’ān: Dirāsah Muqāranah li al-Akhlāq al-Nażāriyyāt fī al-Qur’ān. It aims to confirm the extent of the text analysis model used by Darraz in formulating the concept of Islamic morality. The researcher used a qualitative research type and a content analysis approach by tracing the interpretation of the verses of the Koran and the background to the criticism built by Darraz. This research makes Dustūr al-Akhlāq fī al-Qur’ān a material object and the critic of morality as a formal object. The fīndings are as follows: Fīrst, in his thought project, Darraz uses Qur’anic epistemology by indirectly using al-Ghazali’s maqāṣīd al-Qur’ān method. So, with this method, he succeeded in finding forms of commands in various pronunciations of the Qur’an to confīrm the Shari'ah of overall morality. Second, Darraz proved that Islamic morality differs from Western morality based on empiricism and is not value-free. This is preceded by constructive criticism of the existing Islamic treasures and their further development. On the other hand, it applies destructive criticism to Western views on morality. In short, Darraz's thought project is an anti-thesis effort to the conventional concept of morality that has developed by offering an original reference to understanding the Koran.

Abstract

The values of prophetic education contained in Surah al-Saffat: 99-111 hold significant relevance for Islamic education, particularly in addressing contemporary challenges in character and spiritual development. Understanding the educational approach of Prophet Ibrahim As. and its application to Prophet Ismail As., as narrated in these verses, provides critical insights into nurturing values aligned with Islamic teachings. This research aims to uncover the values of prophetic education conveyed in these verses and their relevance to modern Islamic education. Using a library research method, this study analyzes the prophetic narrative within Surah al-Saffat 99-111. The findings reveal core elements of Islamic education embedded in Prophet Ibrahim's teachings to his son, including obedience, patience, sincerity, and trust in Allah, which form the foundation of strong spiritual education. When these values are implemented in modern education, educators can foster students’ personalities grounded in Islamic spiritual principles, shaping a generation with noble character, faith in Allah, and a positive impact on their communities.

Abstract

This study aims to trace the development and characteristics of various shīʿa literature in Indonesia from a historical perspective. This study uses library research, which allows for integrative and connective tracing of various literature as the primary source of data, which is analyzed through a descriptive approach considering historical dimensions. The findings reveal that the existence and development of shīʿa literature in Indonesia are not merely a historical reflection of the diversity of Islamic sects, but also a manifestation of intellectual dynamics that continue to transform within local and global contexts. The shīʿa tradition, which the majority has long overshadowed, has played a vital role in shaping Islamic discourse in Indonesia through institutional contributions, such as educational foundations, publishing, and academic networks spread across various Islamic universities. Amidst stereotypes and narrative challenges, this development reflects an epistemological openness among Indonesian Muslims who are slowly beginning to recognize the importance of inter-sectarian interaction in building a more comprehensive Islamic intellectual horizon. However, limited access to shīʿa literary archives, the dominance of publishing biases, and the lack of representation in mainstream academic discourse serve as reminders that the process of scholarly integration still requires sustainable and inclusive strategies.

Abstract

Modern life often requires family members to live apart due to work or educational obligations, presenting challenges for effective parenting. This study examines strategies to optimize child-rearing in the context of physical separation by integrating Maslow’s hierarchy of needs with the principles of Maqāṣid Syarīʿah. Using a qualitative, descriptive-analytical approach, the study draws on a range of scholarly sources, including journals and books. The findings demonstrate that children’s essential needs—physiological, safety, love, esteem, and self-actualization—can still be met through consistent, technology-mediated communication, such as video calls and messaging. The involvement of extended family or caregivers also plays a critical role in supporting children’s daily needs. Maslow’s framework emphasizes structured emotional support, while Maqāṣid Syarīʿah highlights the preservation of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property. Together, these frameworks offer a comprehensive model for distant parenting. The study concludes that effective parenting across distances is achievable through intentional collaboration, the appropriate use of digital tools, and alignment with both psychological and spiritual development goals.

Abstract

This article discusses the conflict resolution by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the case of the placement of the Black Stone, an important event before his prophethood. Through the perspective of conflict resolution theory, this study aims to explore how Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) successfully resolved the dispute between the Quraysh tribes. This research is a literature study employing a qualitative analysis model to interpret the actions of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in resolving the conflict over the placement of the Black Stone. The analysis indicates that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) applied an approach reflecting the principles of effective conflict resolution, such as neutrality, a deep understanding of the conflicting parties, justice, and creativity in finding solutions. This study also reflects on the relevance of Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) approach in contemporary conflict resolution. The theoretical implications of this study enrich conflict resolution scholarship by integrating Islamic perspectives into modern theoretical frameworks while affirming that Islamic teachings through the Quran and the exemplary practices of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) provide a holistic foundation for sustainable conflict resolution.

Abstract

This study investigates the semantic implications of the term basyar as it pertains to the concept of humanity in the Qur’anic discourse. The research arises from the observation that the Qur’an employs a range of lexical choices to denote human beings, including nās, al-insān, basyar, banī ādam, al-insu, and al-marʾu, each carrying distinct contextual and conceptual connotations. The diversity of these terms reflects the Qur’an’s nuanced portrayal of human nature across different dimensions and circumstances. Focusing specifically on basyar, this study aims to delineate the unique aspects embedded within this term and how it informs the Islamic understanding of human identity. Methodologically, this is a qualitative literature-based study employing documentary analysis of primary sources such as the Qur’an and classical tafsīr works, including Tafsīr al-Qur’ān al-‘Aẓīm by Ibn Kathīr, Tafsīr al-Marāghī by Ahmad bin Musthafa al-Marāghī, Mafātīḥ al-Ghayb by Fakhruddīn al-Rāzī, and Rūḥ al-Maʿānī by Shihābuddīn al-Ālūsī, among others. The findings suggest that while the concept of basyar aligns closely with the general notion of humanity, it conveys an elevated understanding marked by specific virtues. The study identifies five defining characteristics of human beings within the basyar framework: (1) prophethood as a human function, (2) creation from earthly elements, (3) the cognitive and existential dimension of basyariah, (4) the social interaction between genders, and (5) the inevitability of death as part of divine ordinance.

Abstract

This research aims to explore and analyze how identity, cult, and charisma are formed within the context of da'wah on social media, specifically through the Instagram account @halimahalaydrus. By employing a netnographic approach, the study observes the interactions, content, and community dynamics developed on this social media platform. This method enables researchers to gain an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon of da'wah by analyzing the texts, images, and comments associated with the account. The results reveal that Ustadzah Halimah Alaydrus' identity on social media is shaped not only by her characteristics but also by the digital communication strategies she employs. Through consistent content, strong spiritual narratives, and direct engagement with her followers, Ustadzah Halimah successfully builds an image as an assertive and inspiring spiritual leader. The formation of a cult occurs not only through direct teachings but also through the active involvement of her followers on Instagram, which strengthens the bonds within the digital community. Moreover, Ustadzah Halimah's charisma is recognized and reinforced by her followers, aligning with Weber's definition, where charisma stems not only from her personal qualities but also from the acceptance of her followers. Ustadzah Halimah's charisma was not solely derived from herself, but was co-constructed by the community that formed a cult around her. Ismail Fajrie Alatas emphasizes that authority is not merely position or power, but the ability to build temporal relationships, connecting past values with the current context, and creating a community that can internalize these values (Cultivating Community). Da'wah through the Instagram account @halimahalaydrus illustrates how identity, cult, and charisma evolve in the digital age, highlighting significant changes in the construction and maintenance of religious authority.

Abstract

This research examines the implications of the Indonesian Ulema Council's (MUI) Fatwa No. 83 of 2023, which supports the Palestinian struggle against Israeli occupation, focusing on its theological foundations, the concept of religious moderation, and the dynamics of economic jihad through the boycott of Israeli products. Utilizing a qualitative approach, this study analyzes the fatwa's position within Islamic jurisprudence and its impact on global humanitarian responses to the Israel-Palestine conflict. The findings indicate that the fatwa serves as a non-violent instrument, promoting peace and human rights while advocating for humanitarian aid to Palestine through zakat, Infāq, and donations. It also highlights the potential effects on Indonesia's foreign policy, urging the government to take a firmer stance in international relations regarding Palestine. Furthermore, the study discusses the effectiveness of the boycott as an economic strategy and its moral implications, emphasizing the importance of addressing the humanitarian concerns of civilians in both Israel and Palestine. Overall, the fatwa reflects a balanced approach to supporting the Palestinian cause while adhering to the principles of moderation and compassion inherent in Islam.

Abstract

This study investigates the concept and practice of religious moderation within the Indonesian diaspora community in Australia, with a focus on how members navigate religious identity in a Western, secular society. Grounded in the four pillars of religious moderation established by Indonesia’s Ministry of Religious Affairs—national commitment, tolerance, anti-violence, and accommodation of local cultural values—the research employs a hybrid methodology combining online and in-person interviews, as well as direct observation, drawing on the author's field experience in Sydney. The findings highlight three core dimensions. First, the practice of religious moderation is significantly shaped by diaspora organisations such as PCI Nahdlatul Ulama Australia-New Zealand, PCI Muhammadiyah Australia, the Iqro Foundation, and the Indonesian Diaspora Network (IDN), which promote inclusive religious practices and enhance community cohesion. Second, Australian public institutions play a vital role in fostering values such as religious freedom and pluralism, providing a supportive environment for the diaspora to sustain their cultural and religious identities. Third, the Indonesian diaspora demonstrates effective acculturation by preserving religious traditions while adapting to Australia’s multicultural landscape, despite ongoing challenges related to identity negotiation in a pluralistic context. The study concludes that the Indonesian diaspora in Sydney exemplifies a resilient model of religious moderation through inclusive engagement, institutional collaboration, and cultural adaptation, offering valuable insights for broader discussions on religion, migration, and pluralism in global settings.
