Abstract

The diversity of Qur'ānic interpretations often leads to disputes among Muslims. Therefore, critical evaluation and tolerance are essential to avoid exclusive truth claims and subjective biases, as well as to promote a moderate understanding of the Qur'an. The purpose of this study is to examine the ontological, epistemological, and axiological aspects of mazahib al-Tafsir. It is hoped that common ground and consensus can be established in understanding the teachings of the Qur'an, thereby strengthening ukhuwah Islamiyah and preventing divisions among Muslims. This research employs a descriptive-analytical method to explore the development of mazahib al-Tafsir from classical to contemporary times. Data were collected through a literature review of Tafsir texts and related scholarly works. The findings indicate that, ontologically, mazahib al-Tafsir are schools of Qur'anic interpretation that emerge from the differing backgrounds, understandings, and methodologies of mufassirs. Epistemologically, the evolution of mazahib al-Tafsir is influenced by both internal factors (such as language, politics, and theology) and external factors (including other civilizations and scientific advancements). This has led to the emergence of various styles of tafsir (bil Ma'tsur, bir Ra'yi, and scientific) as efforts to understand and apply the Qur'an in a dynamic context. The axiology of mazahib al-Tafsir aims to avoid the sacralization of religious thought, to comprehend the evolution of Qur'anic interpretation, and to appreciate the plurality of interpretations.

Abstract

The involvement of the Muslim community and the use of religious narratives in the conservation of the environment are crucial. This aligns with the normative teachings of Islam found in the Qur'an and Hadith, which emphasize the importance of preserving the environment. One significant environmental issue currently affecting Indonesia is the widespread occurrence of forest and land fires, which has global implications. This situation has prompted the Muslim community to take action. Their response is characterized by an environmental movement that includes initiatives such as this research is qualitative in nature and is based on a literature review of normative documents from three Muslim organizations that are the focus of this study: the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI), Muhammadiyah, and Nahdlatul Ulama (NU). MUI has specifically addressed this issue by issuing the Green Fatwa, as outlined in Fatwa MUI No. 3 of 2016, which declares the burning of forests and land to be Haram (forbidden). Similarly, both Muhammadiyah and NU have responded by promoting environmental stewardship, urging the community to protect forests and land from fire. They have also engaged in direct action by providing assistance to combat the crisis of forest and land fires.

Abstract

This study explores the Qur’anic perspective on human trafficking through a thematic analysis of QS An-Nur 33 and QS Yusuf 19–20. The objective is to interpret the linguistic meanings of al-bighāʾ, syarā, and milk al-yamīn, and to map their alignment with the tripartite definition of the Palermo Protocol in order to formulate an Islamic ethical framework for combating trafficking. The research employs a qualitative library research method, integrating classical and contemporary tafsir (Ibn Kathir, al-Maraghi, Quraish Shihab) with human rights literature. Linguistic analysis reveals that the three Qur’anic terms represent the act, means, and purpose of modern exploitation. The interpretation of QS An-Nur 33 emphasizes the prohibition of forced prostitution and the protection of women's dignity, while the interpretation of QS Yusuf 19–20 critiques child commodification and highlights the trauma experienced by victims. Mapping these interpretations onto the Palermo Protocol uncovers a complete correspondence with the elements of act, means, and purpose, thereby reinforcing the legitimacy of Sharia in criminalizing trafficking. The synthesis of the values of ʿadl (justice), raḥmah (compassion), and karāmat al-insān (human dignity) generates an ethical paradigm that underpins legislation, faith-based advocacy, and rehabilitation programs. The findings affirm that the Qur’an not only aligns with but also enriches the international legal framework with spiritual motivation. Practical implications include issuing fatwas equivalent to ḥirābah, allocating zakat for victims, and developing anti-trafficking education curricula

Abstract

Pesantren in Indonesia are increasingly challenged by modernization, state-driven standardization, and globalization, which have fragmented religious and secular knowledge, marginalizedmoral and spiritualformation, and reduced educationto merecredentialism—developments that contradict Imam al-Ghazali’s classical vision of ethical and spiritual refinement. To address these challenges, this study proposes a practical model for integrating al-Ghazali’s ta’dib framework—emphasizing adab (discipline), tazkiyah (spiritual purification), mujāhadah (inner struggle), niyyah (sincerity), and ma‘rifah (divine knowledge)—into contemporary pesantren curricula and evaluates its effectiveness through measurable indicators. Adopting a qualitative dual-method design, the research combines hermeneutical analysis of al-Ghazali’s seminal works (Iḥyā’ ‘Ulūm al-Dīn, Ayyuhā al-Walad, al-Tarbiyah wa al-Ta‘līm, al-Risālah al-Ladunniyyah) with field-based case studies in three purposively selected pesantren. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews (n=12), participant observations, and document analysis, and subjected to thematic coding. The study addresses three key gaps in the literature: the absence of empirical implementation models, the lack of rigorous evaluation frameworks, and limited stakeholder-driven research. From field validation, a ta’dib integration model with seven quantifiable indicators was developed—moral reasoning, spiritual disposition, academic performance, pedagogical coherence, stakeholder satisfaction, institutional alignment, and ritual engagement. Findings revealed significant improvements in student character scores (18%) and academic achievement (12%) after one year. Key enabling factors included strong kyai leadership and community involvement, while barriers stemmed from accreditation demands and insufficient teacher training. The results suggest that systematic ta’dib integration can alignspiritual and moralformation with academic excellence, offering evidence-based guidance for pesantren leaders and policymakers in advancing holistic, value-based educationalreform.

Abstract

Personality is one of the most complex and dynamic aspects of a human being. It plays a crucial role in determining how individuals interact with their environment, face life’s challenges, and achieve their goals. Understanding personality is essential for improving quality of life and attaining happiness. For classical philosophers such as Aristotle, happiness represents the highest level a person can achieve. The sciences he developed aimed to attain inner peace, or eudaimonic happiness. This form of happiness can be achieved through a good nature, a peaceful heart, and a healthy body. This study employs a qualitative method with a library research approach to analyze the term mut}mainnah in the Qur'an. The results indicate that the verses containing the word mutmainnah can be interpreted as guidelines for shaping personality. Furthermore, eudaimonic happiness, achieved through mutmainnah personality begins with using worldly enjoyment as a means to apply spiritual values, while prioritizing the enjoyment of the hereafter as the ultimate goal of human life. Thus, mutmainnah as a personality trait reflects the wisdom of positive qualities that promote human self-development and help prevent mental health disorders

Abstract

This study examines the authoritative sources utilized by the Tafsir study community within the Batak Angkola society in Padangsidimpuan City for interpreting the verses of the Qur’an. The objective is to identify and analyze the primary references employed by this community to understand and convey Qur’anic interpretations. A qualitative research method with an ethnographic approach was used. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and a literature review relevant to the study. The findings reveal that the Tafsir study community relies on a combination of classical and modern tafsir as their main sources for Qur’anic interpretation. Additionally, local culture influences distinctive interpretive patterns among the Batak Angkola society, although some community members face challenges in integrating local cultural elements into their interpretations. The study concludes that the authoritative sources used by the Tafsir community reflect a dynamic adaptation between Islamic teachings and local culture; however, not all members incorporate local culture into their interpretations. Ultimately, this interpretive study produces a unique and contextual approach to Qur’anic exegesis.

Abstract

This study examines the historical development and contemporary practices of Sufism at the As'adiyah Sengkang Islamic Boarding School in Wajo, South Sulawesi, from the early 20th century to the present. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through observation, interviews with the boarding school's leadership, teaching staff, alumni, and students, as well as a review of the institution's historical documents. The findings indicate that As'adiyah practices a form of Sunni Sufism, reflected in the tradition of halaqah-based learning, the use of yellow books, and the development of moderate religious attitudes. This Sufi orientation significantly shapes the students' personal ethics—manifested in humility, respect for teachers (barakka'na Gurutta'), and ritual discipline—and contributes to the creation of social harmony in the surrounding community. Theoretically, this study contributes to the field of local Sufism by demonstrating that the internalization of Sunni Sufism in the Islamic boarding school education system functions not only as a spiritual discipline but also as a socio-cultural mechanism that fosters religious moderation and social resilience within the Muslim community. These findings confirm the role of Sufism as a transformative force in Islamic education and as a foundational element for strengthening religious moderation in contemporary Indonesia

Abstract

This study explores the concept of qadar (Predestination) in the Prophet Muhammad’s hadiths, focusing on the theological relationship between faith, human effort, and God’s determination. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach through library research, this paper examines canonical hadith collections such as Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan al-Tirmidhi, and Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal. Employing a maudhū‘i (thematic) method, the study identifies and analyzes hadiths that articulate the dynamic balance between divine will and human agency. The findings reveal that the Prophet’s hadiths on destiny do not deny human freedom to act but instead integrate human effort as an intrinsic part of God’s decree. From a classical theological perspective, the Asy‘ari and Maturidi concepts of kasb and ikhtiyar highlight the harmony between divine omnipotence and human moral responsibility. Meanwhile, modern contextual theology—as represented by Fazlur Rahman, M. Quraish Shihab, and Khaled Abou El-Fadl—reinterprets the hadiths ethically, positioning faith in divine decree as a source of spiritual resilience and proactive engagement with life. Consequently, the study concludes that the Prophet’s teaching on qadar represents a theology of balance—affirming that true faith inspires active spirituality and moral responsibility amid the complexities of modern existence

Abstract

Southeast Asia, in particular, has preserved the scientific and Islamic teachings of Ahlussunnah Waljama'ah. One prominent figure who contributed to spreading Ahlussunnah Waljama'ah was KH Ali Tungkal. This study aims to address the following: (1) the characteristics of KH Ali Tungkal's da'wah; (2) the continuity and changes in KH Ali Tungkal's da'wah; and (3) the importance of internationalizing the da'wah of Ahlussunnah Waljama'ah in Southeast Asia. Employing character study methods and qualitative approaches, along with interviews and documentation techniques, this research seeks to answer these questions. The results indicate that (1) the characteristics of Ali Tungkal's da'wah involve the use of the Tarekat Qadariyah wa Naqsyabandiyah (TQN) order. This strategy successfully attracted numerous Muslim figures in Malaysia and Singapore. Oral and written da'wah methods complemented the Sufi approach to da'wah; (2) the continuity and changes in KH Ali Tungkal's da'wah have been passed down continuously to his children and santri, who have spread across Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand; and (3) the urgency of internationalizing Ahlussunnah Waljama'ah Islam with a spirit of tolerance serves as a benchmark for KH Ali Tungkal in the context of spreading Islam

Abstract

Modern educational systems frequently emphasize cognitive outcomes, often at the expense of moral and spiritual development, resulting in graduates who may be academically adept yet ethically or spiritually unfulfilled. This study aims to reconstruct a holistic educational paradigm inspired by the pedagogical philosophies of three Islamic intellectuals—Al-Ghazali, Ibn Qayyim Al-Jauziyah, and Az-Zarnuji—by examining their conceptualizations of purposive learning, moral cultivation, and the role of the educator. Using a qualitative literature review method, the research analyzes primary classical texts and compares their holistic framework with Western holistic educational traditions such as Waldorf and the Humboldtian model. The findings reveal a tripartite pedagogical structure: spiritual purification (tazkiyat al-nafs), ethical integrity as a safeguard against intellectual hubris, and etiquette-infused teacher–student dynamics. These elements, when synthesized with Western models that prioritize creativity, individuality, and interdisciplinary growth, offer a robust paradigm for integrated human development. Ultimately, this framework proposes an education reoriented toward cognitive, ethical, and spiritual wholeness
