Abstract

This study examines the development and role of falak (Islamic astronomy) manuscripts in Southeast Asia within the context of Islamic historiography and the transmission of knowledge from the Middle East. Scholars from the archipelago studied falak in the Middle East before developing it in their homeland, producing repetitive works to facilitate public understanding. However, limited documentation and a lack of in-depth research hinder a comprehensive understanding of the scholars’ roles in the history of falak. This study explored alternative sources, such as local manuscripts, travel notes, and oral traditions, using a multidisciplinary approach that includes philology, history, and the sociology of knowledge. The method used in this research is the philological method, a scholarly approach used to analyze, assess, and interpret ancient or historical texts, particularly in the context of manuscript studies. One of the research locations is the PEDIR Museum (Banda Aceh), the Manuscript Collection of Tarmidzi Abdul Hamid (Banda Aceh), and the Falak Center of Syaikh Tahir in Penang, Malaysia. The results show that falak science in Southeast Asia developed through networks of scholars connected to the Haramain and Egypt. The dissemination of falak manuscripts occurred through trade, missionary activity, and intellectual exchange, while adaptation to local culture preserved its relevance. The influence of the falak manuscripts in Southeast Asia includes strengthening religious authority, establishing local hisab-rukyat traditions, and playing a strategic role in harmonizing the Islamic calendar. This research confirms that the falak manuscripts are an intellectual heritage that reflects the synergy between science and the religious needs of Southeast Asian Muslim communities, while also serving as an important source for the study of the history of Islamic science in the region.

Abstract

In Islamic law, there are two views on marital rape: one rejects it because marriage is considered a lifelong consent to sexual relations. At the same time, the other recognizes the possibility of marital rape within a marriage. Unlike UU-PKDRT, marital rape receives strict penalties. This study aims to identify and analyze the legal sanctions for marital rape in UU-PKDRT and Islamic criminal law, compare the sanctions of both laws, and explain the concept of takzir for marital rape. The research method is juridical-normative, using qualitative data and three frameworks: credo theory, legal change, and takzir. The study results show that UU-PKDRT, which includes marital rape, does not contradict Islamic law and therefore should be obeyed by Ulil Amri. The legal sanctions are relevant and in accordance with takzir; sexual relations are a mutual right of husband and wife, and forced sexual relations in marriage are not considered rape but violence that can be sanctioned by takzir; marital rape is not considered rape in Islam because marriage negates fornication; Marital rape in UU-PKDRT is viewed as rape, but in Islamic law, it is only violence that can be sanctioned by takzir after reconciliation efforts. The new theory from this research states that marital rape is violence, not rape.

Abstract

This research presents a novel and holistic approach to addressing child marriage by explicitly integrating the Maqasid Al-Shariah framework—comprising the protection of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property—as its primary analytical lens. Unlike previous studies that often treat the social, health, legal, or religious aspects of child marriage in isolation, this study unifies these dimensions within an Islamic ethical paradigm. This study employs a qualitative literature review method, systematically collecting, evaluating, and synthesizing secondary data from Islamic jurisprudence, legal frameworks, and child welfare reports to analyze child protection and adolescent well-being through the lens of Maqasid Al-Shariah. The findings of this research reveal that integrating the Maqasid Al-Shariah framework into strategies for addressing child marriage significantly enhances both the religious legitimacy and community acceptance of child protection efforts. Child marriage is a complex issue that fundamentally contradicts the five core objectives of Maqasid Al-Shariah—protection of life, intellect, lineage, property, and religion—making its elimination a religious as well as social imperative. This research highlights that child marriage endangers children's physical and mental health, disrupts education, and undermines family and community wellbeing. Addressing the issue requires more than legal reforms; it demands collaboration among policymakers, religious scholars, and community leaders to correct misinterpretations of Islamic teachings and shift cultural norms

Abstract

This paper presents a case study of the management of Gosari Amusement Park (WAGOS) in Indonesia, focusing on the application of sustainable tourism development and the integration of the Maslahah Mursalah concept in the management of local tourist attractions. The development of WAGOS aims to transform Gosaari from an agricultural village into a tourism village and to stimulate the local economy and its surroundings. With its abundant natural resources, including limestone hills, cultural heritage sites, and fertile agricultural areas, the village possesses great potential to attract tourists. This research highlights the successful implementation of Maslahah Mursalah in developing the WAGOS Amusing Park for the community’s benefit. It highlights the importance of balancing benefits and potential harms in tourism development. Using a descriptive-qualitative approach and economic ethnography, this study examines the aspects of Maslahah Mursalah in the management of WAGOS. Following the fiqh rule of “Dar’ul Mafasid Muqaddam ‘Ala Jalbi Masholih,” which prioritizes preventing harm over acquiring benefits, the paper argues that utilizing the ancient springs and limestone hills for tourism purposes brings greater advantages compared to the potential damages that occur. The management of WAGOS demonstrates fulfillment of the five elements of Maslahah Mursalah: Hifdzu Din (preserves the ideology and culture), Hifdzu Nafs (maintenance the spirit), hifdzu Aql (Upgrade human capacity), hifdzu Nasab (Keeping the humankind sustainability), and Hifdzu Maal (Preserving wealth and financial resources).
