Abstract

In the digital era, Sufism has undergone a transformation in both its dissemination and organization. Once grounded in local communities, Sufism now leverages digital media to reach a global audience, expanding its spiritual network beyond geographical boundaries. This article addresses the primary issues of how digitalization affects the dissemination of Sufi teachings, the formation of transnational communities, and challenges related to authenticity and privacy. The research employs a literature review method, analyzing scholarly publications on Sufism, digital religion, and online communication from academic sources such as Taylor & Francis, JSTOR, MDPI, and DOAJ. This approach enables a comprehensive analysis of three aspects: the spread of Sufi ideas, digital organizational models, and the role of media in strengthening community networks. The findings reveal that digital media facilitates Sufi ideological campaigns, creates technology-based organizational structures, and strengthens community bonds. However, mediatization also presents challenges in preserving the authenticity of teachings and protecting follower privacy. The article concludes that digital media offers significant opportunities for the global development of Sufism but requires careful efforts to maintain the essential values of Sufi spirituality.Abstrak: Dalam era digital, Sufisme mengalami transformasi dalam penyebaran dan pengorganisasiannya. Tradisi yang sebelumnya terikat pada komunitas lokal kini menggunakan media digital untuk menjangkau audiens global, memperluas jaringan spiritual tanpa keterbatasan geografis. Masalah utama yang diangkat dalam artikel ini adalah bagaimana digitalisasi memengaruhi penyebaran ajaran Sufi, pembentukan komunitas lintas negara, serta tantangan autentisitas dan privasi. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi literatur dengan menganalisis publikasi ilmiah terkait Sufisme, agama digital, dan komunikasi online dari sumber-sumber akademik seperti Taylor & Francis, JSTOR, MDPI, dan DOAJ. Pendekatan ini memungkinkan analisis komprehensif tentang tiga aspek: penyebaran ide Sufi, model organisasi digital, dan peran media dalam memperkuat jaringan komunitas. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa media digital memfasilitasi kampanye ide Sufi, menciptakan struktur organisasi berbasis teknologi, serta mempererat ikatan komunitas. Namun, mediatisasi juga memunculkan tantangan dalam menjaga keaslian ajaran dan melindungi privasi pengikut. Artikel ini menyimpulkan bahwa media digital menawarkan peluang besar bagi perkembangan Sufisme secara global, namun menuntut upaya hati-hati dalam mempertahankan nilai-nilai esensial spiritualitas Sufi.

Abstract

This article examines the concept of spiritual resilience in Q.S. Al-Insyirah through Imam al-Alusi’s Ruh al-Ma’ani and places it in dialogue with the resilience theory of Karen Reivich and Andrew Shatté. The study responds to the need for a more conceptually grounded reading of Q.S. Al-Insyirah that moves beyond motivational interpretations and considers its theological, psychological, and spiritual dimensions. Using a qualitative library research design, this study analyzes Al-Alusi’s interpretation of Q.S. Al-Insyirah through content analysis and the tahlili method, a verse-by-verse exegetical approach. The findings suggest that several key expressions in the chapter, including sharh al-sadr (expansion of the chest), the removal of burdens, ma‘a al-‘usr yusrā (with hardship comes ease), continued striving, and hope in God, may be read as interrelated elements of spiritual resilience. These elements resonate with selected dimensions of Reivich and Shatté’s theory, particularly emotional regulation, realistic optimism, self-efficacy, and reaching out. However, the relationship between the Qur’anic text and modern resilience theory should not be understood as exact equivalence, but as a dialogical and interpretive encounter. This study argues that Q.S. Al-Insyirah, as interpreted by Al-Alusi, offers a theological-transformative understanding of resilience, in which hardship becomes a site of inner expansion, divine reassurance, sustained effort, and spiritual reorientation. The article contributes to Qur’anic studies by showing how classical exegesis may enrich contemporary discussions of resilience without reducing Qur’anic meaning to modern psychological categories.

Abstract

This study examines the story of Ashabul Kahfi in Qur’an, Surah al-Kahfi 18:9–26, through Fazlur Rahman’s Double Movement approach in order to formulate an ethical reading of ‘uzlah (withdrawal or seclusion) in relation to the contemporary Indonesian hashtag #KaburAjaDulu (roughly, “just leave first”). The study employs a qualitative library research design with a conceptual-hermeneutic orientation. Its primary sources include the Qur’anic text, classical and contemporary Qur’anic commentaries, particularly Tafsir Ibn Kathir and M. Quraish Shihab’s Tafsir al-Misbah, and scholarly works on Rahman’s hermeneutics. Secondary sources consist of academic discussions on #KaburAjaDulu as a digital discourse. The analysis proceeds in two stages: first, by examining the socio-historical context of the Qur’anic narrative, and second, by identifying its ideal-moral principles and considering their relevance to contemporary social unease. The study finds that ‘uzlah in the story of Ashabul Kahfi is ethically meaningful when it emerges as a last resort under severe pressure, after moral deliberation, and for the preservation of faith and integrity. In contrast, #KaburAjaDulu should be read as a fluid digital discourse that may express frustration, critique, satire, or migration aspirations. The article argues that the story of Ashabul Kahfi offers ethical criteria for assessing discourses of “leaving,” without turning the hashtag into a direct equivalent of Qur’anic ‘uzlah.

Abstract

The sandwich generation often faces an ethical dilemma between fulfilling filial responsibilities toward parents and meeting the needs of their own families. This study examines the sandwich generation phenomenon from the perspective of hadith by focusing on the roles of parents and children and the principle of al-tawazun, or balance, in regulating family responsibilities. Using library research and a hadith-based qualitative approach, the study draws on authoritative hadith collections, hadith commentaries, and contemporary literature on family responsibility and multigenerational care. The data were identified, classified, and analyzed through thematic content analysis to formulate normative patterns concerning maintenance, filial responsibility, financial capacity, and psychological burden. The study argues that the obligation of parents to provide maintenance for children has clear normative limits, particularly in relation to basic needs and protection, and must be adjusted to parents’ financial capacity. Adult children who are able to work are not generally considered financially dependent on their parents, except under specific conditions of incapacity, such as illness or physical limitation. Conversely, children’s responsibility toward parents must also be understood proportionately and should not be imposed beyond their objective capacity. The study proposes three analytical indicators for reading the sandwich generation phenomenon through al-tawazun: the priority of rights, the limits of financial capacity, and the limits of psychological burden.

Abstract

This study examines the digitalization of Qur’anic exegesis on Instagram through the case of @quranreview, an Islamic educational platform that presents Qur’anic messages in visual, concise, and youth-oriented formats. It focuses on how @quranreview makes tafsir accessible to young Muslim audiences and how students with Islamic studies backgrounds receive, evaluate, and negotiate its content. Using a qualitative netnographic approach, the study applies Cyber Media Analysis, which examines four levels: media space, media document, media object, and experience. Data were collected through online observation of @quranreview posts during July–August 2025, documentation of visual and textual content, follower engagement, Google Form responses, and interviews with six students from the Islamic Education Program and the Qur’anic Studies and Exegesis Program at UIN Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin Banten. The findings show that @quranreview functions as a form of popular tafsir on Instagram by connecting Qur’anic verses with contemporary issues such as anxiety, work, family, financial hardship, teachers’ welfare, public unrest, and youth motivation. Its visual design, accessible language, and affective tone make Qur’anic messages more relatable for millennial and Gen Z audiences. However, the study also finds that accessibility does not automatically guarantee exegetical authority. Several respondents appreciated the account’s relevance and visual appeal, but criticized the lack of explicit references to tafsir, hadith, or scholarly explanations in some posts. This study argues that @quranreview reflects both the opportunities and challenges of Instagram-based tafsir: it expands access to Qur’anic learning for young Muslims, but it also requires stronger source transparency, interpretive literacy, and scholarly accountability.

Abstract

The current ecological crisis suggests that public awareness of moral responsibility for protecting the natural environment remains insufficient. Increasing environmental degradation, including pollution, declining ecosystem quality, and weak ecological awareness, indicates that religious values concerning human responsibility toward nature have not been fully internalized in social practice, particularly among younger generations. The Qur’an contains environmental ethical values that provide a theological and moral foundation for sustaining ecological balance. This study examines how Qur’anic environmental ethics are actualized through a Living Qur’an approach among Karang Taruna youth in Karta Raya Village, Tulang Bawang Udik District, Tulang Bawang Barat Regency. It employs a qualitative design with a phenomenological approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed descriptively and interpretively to identify the meanings and applications of Qur’anic values in youth social activities. The findings show that Karang Taruna youth translate Qur’anic values into ecological practices through three main forms: khilafah, which is actualized through collective clean-up activities and mosque-based environmental care; mizan, which is embodied in waste sorting and village-based waste management; and the prohibition of fasad, which is practiced through anti-pollution campaigns and irrigation-channel maintenance. The study contributes to Living Qur’an scholarship by showing how Qur’anic environmental values are received, internalized, and practiced through village youth activism. In this context, Karang Taruna youth function as local actors in ecological change who connect sacred texts with the practical needs of rural environmental management.

Abstract

The growing prevalence of hate speech on TikTok indicates a serious disruption in digital communication ethics and may generate broader social consequences. This study analyzes forms of hate speech on TikTok and examines Prophetic hadiths related to communication ethics through the ma‘anil al-hadith approach. It also evaluates the relevance of these hadiths for responding to hate speech practices in contemporary social media, particularly TikTok. This study employs a qualitative library research method. Primary data are drawn from Sahih al-Bukhari No. 6476, Sunan al-Tirmidhi No. 1977, and a hadith encyclopedia database used to trace related narrations, while secondary data consist of books, scholarly articles, and other relevant literature. The findings suggest that hate speech on TikTok frequently appears as attacks on religious, ethnic, racial, and intergroup identities and may contribute to social conflict. The hadiths examined in this study emphasize the obligation to guard one’s speech, the ethical importance of tabayyun (verification of information), and the prohibition of communication that harms others. The study concludes that Prophetic hadiths on communication ethics remain contextually relevant for addressing hate speech on social media and may serve as a normative basis for cultivating digital communication grounded in moral responsibility and social welfare.

Abstract

Toxic friendship has emerged as a significant relational problem in contemporary society, often marked by manipulation, imbalance, emotional harm, and the erosion of moral integrity. This article examines the ethical principles articulated in the Prophet Muhammad’s hadiths on choosing friends and explores their relevance for addressing harmful friendship patterns in the modern era. Using qualitative library research and a thematic hadith approach, the study draws on hadiths concerning friendship as primary sources and classical commentaries, including Fath al-Bari by Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani and Sharh Sahih Muslim by Imam al-Nawawi, as interpretive references. The analysis combines textual, contextual, and descriptive-analytical approaches to identify the ethical meanings embedded in these hadiths. The findings indicate that the hadith tradition emphasizes moral selectivity, social responsibility, self-protection, and relational balance as key principles for evaluating friendship. These values provide a normative framework for preventing and addressing unhealthy relationships that may harm psychological well-being, moral character, and spiritual integrity. The study concludes that hadith-based ethics of friendship remain contextually relevant for cultivating healthy, dignified, and morally responsible social relationships in contemporary life.
