Abstract

Modern materialistic perspectives, combined with Western philosophical critiques that reject the existence of God, have contributed to the rise of atheistic worldviews. In response to this condition, this study aims to identify forms of atheistic rejection in Western philosophy, analyze Quranic thematic narratives related to faith and divine existence, and integrate both findings to demonstrate how the Qur’an addresses and counters atheistic thought. Using a qualitative literature-based method that employs Quranic thematic analysis and comparative philosophical analysis with references to classical and contemporary interpretations, this research finds that atheistic views reflected in the Qur’an include denial of the afterlife, moral accountability, religion, prophets, and the existence of God. The Qur’an counters these views through narratives on the purpose of life, the reality of the hereafter, divine justice, revelation, and prophetic guidance. This study contributes by offering a structured analytical framework that bridges Quranic epistemology and Western atheistic critique, highlighting the intellectual relevance of the Qur’an in addressing contemporary atheism

Abstract

This research is This study is motivated by the growing prevalence of mental health problems caused by individuals’ inability to cope with life’s pressures. In this context, the Islamic teaching of gratitude holds significant relevance as a spiritual foundation for maintaining emotional balance. The research aims to contextualize the concept of gratitude derived from the hadiths as understood by Al-Ghazali in Ihya’ Ulumuddin and to examine its relevance to contemporary mental health concepts. The theoretical framework is based on Al-Ghazali’s understanding of gratitude, which consists of three dimensions: knowledge, inner state, and action. Regarding mental health, Al-Ghazali mentions three essential methods of self-development—mujahadah (spiritual struggle), tazkiyatun-nafs (self-purification), and riyadhah (spiritual exercise).This study employs a qualitative approach through library research, utilizing takhrij and dirayah analysis of hadiths related to gratitude found in Al-Ghazali’s works. The analysis is descriptive and analytical, aiming to reveal the conceptual and contextual meanings of gratitude within Al-Ghazali’s intellectual framework. In his view, gratitude is a comprehensive spiritual process that goes beyond verbal expression, requiring the integration of knowledge, inner awareness, and practical deeds as a form of acknowledgment of Allah’s blessings.The findings indicate that Al-Ghazali’s concept of gratitude comprises three main dimensions: knowledge, spiritual state, and practice. These dimensions play a crucial role in developing Islamic mental health by cultivating spiritual awareness, inner peace, and balance between psychological and spiritual aspects. Through tazkiyatun-nafs (self-purification) and riyadhah (spiritual training), individuals are trained to face life’s trials with a positive attitude, avoid despair, and remain conscious that all goodness originates from Allah. Al-Ghazali also asserts that trials are blessings in disguise and should be viewed as opportunities to recognize other forms of divine grace. Thus, his concept of gratitude provides a substantial contribution to the development of an Islamic paradigm of mental health anchored in spiritual and moral values

Abstract

This study explores the practice of zuhd (asceticism) within the Tablighi Jamaat community in Palu, Indonesia, through the framework of Dilthey's hermeneutics. Itseeksto interpret the subjective meaning of zuhd as livedspiritualityrather than merely a doctrinal discipline, emphasizing how the Tablighi ethos of simplicity, resilience (tahammul), and detachment from politics reflects the enduring influence of Chishtiyya Sufism. The study employed qualitativemethods, includingin-depth interviews and field observations, involving 15 informants from diverse backgrounds within the Tablighi Jamaat in Palu. Over a six-month observation period, the studyappliedDilthey's dual interpretive model—verstehen (understanding meaning) and erklären (explaining context)—to uncover the inner experiences and ethical structures of zuhd among the participants. The main findings indicate that the asceticism of theTablighiJamaat is characterized by (1) ritual movement (khuruj) as a spiritual discipline, (2) apoliticality as an ethical manifestation of separation, and (3) hospitality and humility asextensionsof Chishtiyyah mysticism. This study concludes thatTablighiasceticism is a living form of Sufism,demonstratingthe continuity of classical Chishtiyyah ethicswithinthe contemporary Islamic da'wah movement.Thestudy contributes theoretically to the hermeneutical understanding of Islamic asceticism and empirically enriches the study of spiritual practices in modern Muslimsocieties.

Abstract

In describing the concept of corruption, the Qur'an does not explicitly mention it but uses several terms such as ghulūl, suḥt, and sariqah. Risywah is not a term of the Quran but an act of bribery whose behavior is explained in the Quran. This research aims to reconstruct the meaning of corruption in the Quran through two steps of semantic analysis by Amin al-Khulli, namely: dirasah ma hawla al-Quran which examines the context of the research object and dirasah ma fi al-Quran which examines the content of the research object. This research is qualitative with two stages of analysis to achieve a complex explanation sourced from literature materials. Through thematic methods in classical and contemporary interpretation, this study reveals the development of the meaning and concept of corruption in the Quran. The results of this study show that the concept of corruption from time to time has adjustments to the context of the times. Islam is adaptive to problems that have occurred from the past to the present. Ghulūl, which is interpreted as embezzlement of war spoils, develops into an abuse of power and embezzlement of funds. Risywah is not only related to the court system but extends to economic, business and social systems. As for suḥt, it is a general form of the act of eating haram treasure which includes the proceeds of bribery and embezzlement of funds. The reconstruction of this concept reveals that corruption is the act of eating property illegally, which can kill the heart from distinguishing right and wrong. So that corruption can cause new problems from the inability of humans to judge a case properly because the perpetrators have been obscured by bribes, as well as damaging the legal order which results in human morality and integrity

Abstract

This article exploresthe intellectual history and contributions of Ilyas Muhammad Ali to hadith scholarship in the Malay-Indonesian archipelago. As an educator, mufti, and lecturer, he played pivotal roles in Islamic education, notably founding and developing IAIN Pekanbaru and IAIN Padang. However, scholarly research onhis biography and academic legacy remains limited among bothlocal and international researchers. Employing a qualitative methodology, this study utilizes documentary analysis and structured interviews. Primary data sources include his work, Durusal-Ahadithal-Nabawiyah(1939),as well astestimonies from family members and former students. Findings indicate that Ilyas made significant contributions to Islamic education in West Sumatra, Aceh, and Riau, particularly through his compilation of a forty-hadith collection designed as instructional material for Islamic secondary schools and the general public. The systematization of his compilation includes the hadith number, thematic title, textual transmission (matn), exegetical commentary, and pedagogical values. His Arba’in primarily addresses core Islamic ethical principles, spanning individual moral development to societal and civic life. Consequently, this study affirms that Ilyas’s scholarly output and intellectual contributions were instrumental in fostering ethical consciousness and moral character within Muslim society, guiding adherents toward virtuous conduct across diverse spheres of life.

Abstract

The divergence in the interpretation of Qur’anic verses concerning the divine attributes hasled to theological fragmentation, whichhas evolved into socio-cultural polarization, potentially undermining the harmony of contemporary Muslim communities. This study examines the hermeneutical dialectics of four theological schools in interpreting the verses on God’s attributes, focusing on their epistemological and practical implications within the Indonesian context. Employing a qualitative approach based on library research and al-Farmawi’s comparative analytical framework, this research analyzes three representative verses—Q.S. Tāhā[20]:5,Q.S. al-Fatḥ[48]:10,and Q.S. al-Raḥmān[55]:27—throughfour key exegeses: al-Mīzān (Shi‘a), al-Kashshāf (Mu‘tazilah), Mafātīḥ al-Ghayb (Ash‘ariyyah), and Taysīr al-Karīm (Salafi). The findings reveal distinct interpretive tendencies: the Shi‘a emphasize consistent philosophicalta’wīl;the Mu‘tazilah prioritizerational and philological reasoning;the Ash‘ariyyah construct a complex dialecticalhermeneutic;while the Salafi adopt a literalist approach with fluctuating methodological consistency. These divergences extend beyond theoretical discourse, manifesting in Indonesia’s socio-cultural contestations across digital spheres, religious institutions, and communal practices. This study argues that the diversity of interpretations regarding the divine attributes should not be perceived as a theological threat but rather as an epistemological richness that calls for a more inclusive and nuanced Qur’anic hermeneutic to preserve Muslim cohesion amid theological plurality. The novelty of this research lies in integrating theological and hermeneutical analysis within a comparative study of four major exegetical traditions and situating their interpretive dynamics within the contemporary socio-religious context of Indonesian Islam. This study contributes to advancing Qur’anic hermeneutics through a systematic analysis of methodological consistency across diverse theologicalschools.

This research employed a normative-empirical method with a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing interviews with traditional leaders and interfaith couples. The results of this study indicate that: (1) the phenomenon of interfaith marriage in the Penyengat community of Penyengat Village does not conflict with the Marriage Law, specifically Article 2, paragraph (1), which states that a marriage is valid if conducted according to the laws of each religion and belief, as outlined in statutory provisions or unless otherwise specified by law; (2) according to population administration law, such marriages are also valid because they do not conflict with Article 2 of Law No. 23 of 2006 concerning Population Administration, which guarantees every resident the right to: (a) obtain population documents; (b) receive equal services in population and civil registration; (c) protection of personal data; and (d) legal certainty regarding document ownership. Furthermore, under human rights law, these marriages are valid as they do not conflict with Law Number 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights. Article 10, paragraph 1, states that everyone has the right to form a family and continue their lineage through a legal marriage, and paragraph 2 specifies that a legal marriage can only occur based on the free will of the prospective husband and wife in accordance with applicable laws and regulations; (3) according to Islamic legal norms, the phenomenon of interfaith marriage in the Penyengat Village community, Penyengat District, Sungai Apit Regency, Siak Regency, is considered invalid or haram because: (a) it is prohibited by Surah Al-Baqarah verse 221, Surah Al-Mumtahanah verse 10, and Surah Al-Maidah verse 5; (b) the couple has stated that after remarrying, they practice their respective religions; (c) marriage is not solely a biological relationship but also involves psychological (influence on thoughts and mentality), sociological (social environment), and theological (divine values) aspects. Therefore, the husband has responsibilities toward his wife, children, society, and Allah SWT, with the aim of achieving peace; and (d) such marriages can harm religion, the soul, reason, and descendants, and they generate both support and opposition within society

Abstract

This study examines the evolution of clerical attire, specifically the so-called Arab or hajj attire, comprising robes and turbans, and its role in shaping the identity of Nusantara clerics over centuries. In the context of the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad, the question of the relevance of Arab attire to the Nusantara is a subject of divergent scholarly opinion. Some clerics consider it to be irrelevant, whilst others regard it as sunnah fi'liyah, analysing it from an ethical and aesthetic perspective. The present study employs qualitative methods, with a focus on historical approaches. To this end, it utilises a range of sources, including autobiographies and biographies, visual materials, such as images of clerics, and a series of interviews conducted with 19 individuals who are both historical witnesses and relatives of the aforementioned clerics. It is evident that in the 19th century, the adherents of Islam in the region of Riau were distinguished by their distinctive attire, which included the wearing of robes and turbans. The scholars' attire represented their elevated economic, social, and political status, in addition to their substantial religious authority. The robe and turban also became symbols of the scholars' anti-colonial struggle. The historical and cultural factors that influenced this acceptance included the Hajj pilgrimage, colonial government regulations pertaining to Hajj attire, the harmonisation of Arab attire with Malay culture, and the emergence of Sufi movements. Nevertheless, since the 20th century, the attire of Islamic scholars has experienced substantial modification, primarily due to the integration of Western educational frameworks and the rise of the contemporary Indonesian elite. The attire of clerics in Riau comprises trousers, Western-style suits, ties, and hats, in addition to skullcaps or peci, which collectively serve to establish a uniform appearance that mirrors that of other Indonesian intellectuals who have undergone modern educational pursuits. Moreover, religious attire in the form of robes and turbans began to be adopted as a collective identifier, rather than exclusively as a religious or clerical vestment, by certain Muslim communities
