Abstract

Surah Al-‘Ādiyāt, which consists of 11 verses, contains the use of structured, rhythmic, and poetic language styles (saja‘). This study aims to reveal how the rhythm and structure of the language in this surah not only beautify the text but also arouse the emotions and awareness of the readers towards the messages contained in the Qur’an. The problem raised in this study is how the use of saja‘ language style contributes to beautifying and deepening the meaning and message that the Qur’an wants to convey. This research uses a qualitative approach with a content analysis method, with a focus on analyzing the metaphor of the elements used, as well as the uslub (language style) that supports the meaning of the metaphor. The results of the analysis show that there are several types of saja‘ in Surah Al-‘Ādiyāt, namely saja‘ muṭarraf as much as 1 data, saja‘ mutawāzī 3 data, and saja‘ muraṣṣa‘ 1 data. These findings provide a very clear picture of the important role of language styles in enriching meaning and also in increasing aesthetic power in the Qur’an. By using a structured and rhythmic language style, Surah Al-‘Ādiyāt not only succeeds in beautifying the text but also serves as a means to arouse the reader's feelings and understanding of the realities of life, the forces of nature, and the warnings contained in the divine message. This shows how the beauty of the language of the Qur’an helps deepen the spiritual and moral message for humanity.

Abstract

Modern humans face numerous complex life issues such as sadness, confusion, suffering, existential emptiness, stress, depression, and suicide. They strive to eliminate these problems from their lives, leading many to seek help from specialists to address their mental health concerns. Consequently, they often resort to various medications prescribed by doctors or psychiatrists, which can result in many developing schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a complex mental illness that affects an individual’s perception, thoughts, and behavior. However, in mental health studies, researchers and psychologists frequently focus more on biological and social aspects, neglecting the spiritual dimension. Therefore, this study aims to present and examine the concept of zikir therapy through the perspective of a prominent Islamic scholar found in Tafsīr Mafātīḥ al-Ghayb, addressing various aspects of human life, including psychological and spiritual issues as discussed by Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī. This research will analyze how al-Rāzī integrates zikir therapy into his interpretation of the Qur’an using a qualitative approach by identifying relevant Qur’anic verses such as Q.S. Yūnus [10]: 57, Q.S. Al-Isrā’ [17]: 82, Q.S. Asy-Syu‘arā’ [26]: 80, and Q.S. Ar-Ra‘d [13]: 28. Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī’s thoughts on mental health emphasize the importance of soul balance and the role of spirituality, offering a rich perspective for therapists addressing schizophrenia through zikir therapy. The concept of soul balance can be linked to zikir therapy efforts in managing chaotic emotions and thoughts in patients with schizophrenia. Meanwhile, the emphasis on spirituality can provide patients with a sense of peace and hope while helping them find meaning in life.

Abstract

One of the beauties of the language of the Qur’an is taqdīm and ta’khīr, where a word is positioned first over another word for certain reasons. Usually, the pair itself is the same word and is often found in verses of the Qur’an, one of which is the words bowing and prostrating. Of the six verses that juxtapose these two words, five were found that positioned the word rukū‘ rather than sujūd, and only one verse put the word sujūd before rukū‘. So this research was made to uncover the secret behind the taqdīm of the words prostrate and ta’khīr the word rukū‘ and vice versa in terms of linguistics, namely balāghah science with its branch, namely ma‘ānī science. Meanwhile, this research is a type of research using library methods that is presented using descriptive analysis. Researchers found that the reason for the taqdīm of the word bowing down in several verses is based on the order of practice and pillars in prayer, for example, in Surah Al-Baqarah verse 125. Meanwhile, the taqdīm of the word bowing down is not because of a mistake; the order is based on the most noble practice according to Allah, namely in Surah Āli ‘Imrān verse 43. Meanwhile, the researcher’s suggestion is for readers to broaden their knowledge related to the rules of lughawiyyah in the Qur’an, especially in taqdīm and ta’khīr, as well as their causes and meanings, so as not to misunderstand and interpret the context of the Qur’an.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the concept of youth in the Qur’an through a thematic interpretation of five key terms that reflect the characteristics and values associated with young individuals: Aṣḥāb al-Kahfi, ghulāmin ḥalīm, bunayya, fatan/fityah, and dhurriyah. These terms were selected to represent ideal youth traits rooted in Qur’anic teachings. Using a qualitative research method with a thematic tafsir approach, this study systematically analyzes verses of the Qur’an to uncover these terms' deeper meanings and educational implications. The findings reveal that aṣḥāb al-kahfi symbolizes youth who are resilient and curious in their pursuit of truth; ghulāmin ḥalīm highlights gentleness, patience, and compassion; bunayya reflects filial piety and strong moral foundations; fatan/fityah illustrates courage and revolutionary spirit in upholding truth; and dhurriyah emphasizes the significance of nurturing generations that are faithful, morally upright, and spiritually steadfast. The study concludes that the Qur’anic concept of youth encompasses a holistic balance between intellectual competence, moral strength, courageous action, and spiritual resilience. These values are highly relevant for contemporary youth development and character education. The role of parents, educational institutions, and society at large is crucial in internalizing these values to shape youth into individuals of integrity, competitiveness, and positive societal impact.

Abstract

The development of digital media has significantly transformed the patterns of Qur’anic interpretation, including on the issue of nationalism in Islam. This study analyzes how verses related to nationalism are interpreted by two online media platforms: Detik.com and NU Online. Using a qualitative method with content analysis and Critical Discourse Analysis approaches, Detik.com interprets Q.S. Al-Isrā’ [17]: 70 as a foundation for freedom and human dignity, although academic tafsir traditionally views this verse as referring to the general honor bestowed upon humankind. The platform also uses Q.S. Al-Mumtaḥanah [60]: 8 to equate love for the homeland with defending religion, despite the verse’s original context focusing more on social relations and tolerance. Meanwhile, NU Online references Q.S. Al-Qaṣaṣ [28]: 85 as theological legitimacy for love of one's homeland, although it primarily refers to Allah’s promise to the Prophet Muhammad regarding his return to Mecca. Likewise, Q.S. An-Nisā’ [4]: 66 is interpreted as evidence of the significance of one’s birthplace, even though the verse contextually concerns the command to emigrate as a test of faith. The findings reveal that while these interpretations aim to contextualize nationalism within Islam, there is a tendency toward distortion due to selective verse usage and deviations from established academic tafsir methodology. It is crucial to apply sound and objective interpretive methods that go beyond pragmatic interests and remain academically accountable. This ensures that interpretations of nationalism-related verses in Islam reflect the Qur’an’s teachings in a comprehensive, logical manner, avoiding narrow ideological biases that risk diminishing the depth of the sacred text.

Abstract

The concept of filial piety or birr al-wālidayn in the Qur’an is a form of respect, devotion, and a child’s deep sense of loyalty to their parents. This value, when viewed from a moral, social, and spiritual perspective, has a central position in building harmonious family relationships and forming a complete and civilized human character. The phenomenon of increasing disobedience behavior, even disobedience to parents in various contemporary Muslim societies, is a worrying indication and indicates the urgency of revitalizing Islamic ethical values, especially in the context of child-parent relationships. This study uses the method of thematic interpretation (tafsīr mawḍū‘ī) combined with the Constructive Grounded Theory approach to examine in depth 15 relevant verses of the Qur’an. These verses are analyzed and classified into three main categories: (1) the conceptual definition and moral-spiritual obligation of birr al-wālidayn, (2) the concrete form of expression of gratitude and recognition for the sacrifice of one’s parents, and (3) a firm warning against disobedient behavior that can have adverse consequences, both in this world and in the hereafter. The findings of this study show that birr al-wālidayn not only demands respect and obedience, but also includes gentleness of speech, sincere prayer, providing for, and consistent affection. In conclusion, birr al-wālidayn is not only a social norm but a real manifestation of monotheism and worship, which needs to continue to be contextualized in modern life through an innovative and constructive approach to interpretation.

Abstract

The interpretation of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Diversity) has long been invoked in Indonesia’s religious, national, and cultural discourse. While normatively understood as a call for tolerance and harmony, it has rarely been examined critically through the lenses of Qur’anic exegesis and discourse analysis. This article investigates how the discourse of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika is constructed and deployed within religious texts and broader social narratives, highlighting its implications for power and ideology. Using Critical Discourse Analysis, the study explores how narratives of unity often function less as inclusive engagements with diversity and more as instruments for legitimizing the dominance of majority groups or state authorities. Such interpretations tend to suppress alternative perspectives, particularly those voiced by marginalized communities. The findings indicate that the discourse of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika in tafsir is not neutral or universal but shaped by hegemonic interests and institutional frameworks that privilege uniformity over plurality. The study argues that religious interpretation must move toward a more critical and inclusive hermeneutics—one that not only affirms common values but also recognizes difference as an epistemic and spiritual resource. The broader implication is the necessity of opening tafsir studies to interdisciplinary approaches and dialogical engagement. By doing so, religious discourse can become more just, reflective, and liberating, contributing to a pluralistic public sphere that genuinely honors Indonesia’s foundational principle of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika.
AN ANALYSIS OF THE CONCEPT OF TAZKIYAH AL-NAFS IN THE QUR’ANIC TAFSIR AND THE BOOK MI‘RĀJ AL-SA‘ĀDAH BY AḤMAD AL-NARĀQĪ Abdilah, Muhammad Dzikri; Reinaldi, Riko; MY, Mutiara

Abstract

The concept of tazkiyah al-nafs (purification of the soul) holds an important position in the Islamic tradition as it serves as the key to human spiritual and psychological development. Without purification of the soul, it is difficult for a person to achieve holistic growth, both in the inner dimension (faith and peace of heart) and in the dimension of personality (mind, morals, and character). Therefore, the study of tazkiyah al-nafs is highly relevant in efforts to understand the comprehensive formation of human personality. This research aims to examine the concept of tazkiyah al-nafs from the perspective of Qur’anic exegesis as well as the ethical-sufi thought presented in Mi‘rāj al-Sa‘ādah by Aḥmad al-Narāqī. The method employed is qualitative with a library research approach, utilizing primary sources including the Qur’an, both classical and contemporary exegesis, and al-Narāqī’s work. The findings indicate that tazkiyah al-nafs is an internal process of cleansing the soul from blameworthy traits and adorning it with noble character. The Qur’an repeatedly emphasizes this concept, as in Q.S. Ash-Shams [91]: 9–10, which highlights the success of the purified soul. Meanwhile, in Mi‘rāj al-Sa‘ādah, al-Narāqī elaborates the stages of tazkiyah through self-knowledge, mujāhadah (striving), riyāḍah (discipline), and murāqabah (self-vigilance), while also stressing the importance of reason and the sharia as means of purification. The implications of this study show that tazkiyah al-nafs is highly relevant to the development of Islamic psychology, particularly in formulating spiritual therapy and character education based on turāth values. Furthermore, the study opens opportunities for integrating classical Islamic concepts into contemporary psychology, focusing on a balanced approach to both the spiritual and mental dimensions of the individual.

Abstract

Sheikh Siti Jenar’s thoughts on Manunggaling Kawula Gusti often cause controversy in the Nusantara Islamic tradition, especially related to the concept of wahdatul wujud, which is considered to equate humans with God. KH Ahmad Bahauddin Nursalim (Gus Baha), as one of the contemporary scholars of Nusantara, provides criticism of this thought through a unique interpretive approach in the Nusantara interpretation methodology. This study uses a qualitative approach with literature studies and text analysis of Gus Baha’s works and relevant sources on Nusantara interpretation and Sufism. The ijmālī and contextual interpretation approaches applied by Gus Baha are also analyzed to understand his criticism of Sheikh Siti Jenar. This paper aims to describe and analyze Gus Baha’s critical approach to Sheikh Siti Jenar’s thoughts in Nusantara interpretation. The research results show that Gus Baha rejects claims that contradict sharia, particularly the teachings of Manunggaling Kawula Gusti, emphasizing the importance of balancing sharia and the essence of Islam Nusantara. Gus Baha’s approach, which prioritizes contextualization and accessible language, makes his interpretations relevant to the people of the archipelago.

Abstract

The phenomenon of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), or the fear of missing out on certain trends, events, or social experiences, has become a common psychological symptom in the digital age. The constant anxiety to participate in the lives of others as portrayed on social media often causes restlessness, dissatisfaction, and even identity crises. The Qur’an, as a guide for Muslims, provides many verses that can be used as references to overcome such anxiety, especially through the concepts of peace of mind (sakīnah) and simplicity of life (qanā‘ah). This study aims to explore how the Qur’an offers a perspective on FOMO by analyzing verses related to inner peace and simplicity in life, in overcoming FOMO, such as Q.S. Al-Baqarah [2]: 155, Q.S. An-Nisā’ [4]: 32, Q.S. An-Nisā’ [4]: 83, and Q.S. Al-Ḥadīd [57]: 20. This study uses a library research-based method with a thematic (mawḍū‘ī) approach, which organizes and analyzes verses of the Qur’an based on theme. The main sources are the Qur’an and Tafsīr al-Taḥrīr wa al-Tanwīr by Ibn ‘Āshūr (1879–1973), a prominent Tunisian scholar known for his contextual tafsir methodology, supplemented by contemporary psychological studies. The findings show that the Qur’an promotes tranquility through faith in Allah, dependence (tawakkul), contentment (qanā‘ah), and awareness of the temporary nature of worldly life. These teachings provide a spiritual framework for combating FOMO by fostering self-awareness and a deeper meaning of life. Therefore, the values of the Qur’an can be considered a spiritual remedy for modern social anxieties such as FOMO.
