Abstract

The Qur’an contains many symbolic narratives, necessitating a reading that goes beyond the literal and requires an interpretive unpacking of meaning. This study is motivated by the importance of understanding the Qur’an in an open-minded manner. This research is a qualitative library study. The method employs descriptive-analytical analysis using sources from classical exegesis, contemporary exegesis, and other relevant books. The data will be analyzed through Charles Sanders Peirce’s triadic semiotic framework. The research findings indicate that sandals are not merely interpreted as footwear but as a symbol of humanity’s connection to the profane world. From the semiotic analysis, the sandal as a representament reflects the human condition of Prophet Moses; as an object, it points to worldly attachment; and as an interpretant, it gives rise to a spiritual meaning: the necessity for Moses to purify himself before entering the sacred space, namely the Valley of Tuwa. The command fa-khla‘ na‘layka (فَاخْلَعْ نَعْلَيْكَ) is interpreted as a symbol of existential transformation toward a servant’s readiness to receive revelation. Therefore, this research contributes to the development of semiotic-based interpretation and can provide implications that sacredness is not enough to be realized only through external symbols, but through inner awareness, reverence when facing God which is likened to wearing a mukena for a woman.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the many problems of uncertified mosque waqf land at the Maiwa District Office of Religious Affairs (KUA), Enrekang Regency. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of persuasive communication in minimizing the problems of mosque waqf land, including its forms, strategies, and supporting and inhibiting factors. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation with informants consisting of the Head of the Maiwa District KUA, religious instructors, mosque administrators, religious leaders, and the local community. The results of the study indicate that persuasive communication implemented through interpersonal communication, group communication, organizational communication, and mass communication is considered effective in minimizing the problems of waqf land. Supporting factors for the effectiveness of persuasive communication include the role of the government, da'i, waqif, and nadzir, while inhibiting factors include the lack of competent human resources, low waqf literacy in the community, and the geographical conditions of the region. In addition, the persuasive communication strategies used, including the bil-hikmah (wisdom), al-mau'idzah hasanah (intelligible), al-mujadalah (intelligible), bil-hal (intelligible), bil-mal (intelligible), collaborative strategies, and the use of online media, have proven effective in resolving waqf land issues. This research highlights the importance of strengthening persuasive communication strategies and increasing waqf literacy to support the optimization of waqf land management in the community.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of interpersonal communication as a da’wah strategy for promoting positive behavioral change among adolescents in an urban Indonesian community. The study addresses three research questions: how interpersonal communication is implemented in youth mentoring activities, how it contributes to adolescent behavioral change, and what factors influence its effectiveness. A qualitative approach using Participatory Action Research (PAR) was employed in RW 09 Pisangan Baru, East Jakarta, Indonesia. Participants included adolescents, Community Service Program (KKS) students from Al-Aqidah Al-Hasyimiyyah Islamic Institute Jakarta, community leaders, and religious figures. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, and were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that interpersonal communication was implemented through five key forms: face-to-face interaction, verbal and non-verbal communication, sustained interaction, conflict resolution, and feedback processes. These communication practices facilitated trust-building, emotional closeness, adolescent participation, and engagement in community-based activities. The study also identified several supporting factors, including community support and adolescent openness, as well as inhibiting factors such as educational differences, socioeconomic challenges, and negative environmental influences. The findings demonstrate that interpersonal communication functions not merely as a channel for transmitting religious messages but as a relational mechanism that fosters meaningful engagement and positive behavioral development among adolescents. The study contributes to the integration of interpersonal communication and da’wah scholarship while providing practical insights for educators, religious leaders, and community practitioners seeking to address adolescent behavioral challenges through relationship-centered interventions.

Abstract

The rapid growth of digital communication has increased the risk of toxic disinhibition effect, a tendency for individuals to exhibit aggressive and uninhibited behaviors during online interactions. This study aimed to examine the influence of the PEN personality dimensions (psychoticism, extraversion, and neuroticism) on the toxic disinhibition effect among WhatsApp users. A quantitative explanatory design was employed involving 319 WhatsApp users in Makassar, Indonesia, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Short-Form Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised (EPQ-R) and the Toxic Disinhibition Effect Scale developed by Udris, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and ordinal regression. The results revealed that the PEN personality model had a weak relationship with the toxic disinhibition effect (r = 0.168), explaining 16.8% of the variance. Among the three personality dimensions, only psychoticism showed a positive and significant effect (r = 0.113, p < 0.05), whereas extraversion and neuroticism were not significantly associated with the toxic disinhibition effect (p > 0.05). These findings suggest that aggressive and antisocial personality characteristics play a greater role in predicting toxic online communication among WhatsApp users than sociability or emotional stability.

Abstract

The differences in how hadith scholars evaluate the quality of narrations indicate that the processes of tashih and taḍ‘if are closely related to each muhaddith’s critical framework. Al-Hakim al-Naysaburi (321–405 AH), through his work al-Mustadrak ‘ala al-Sahihayn, is often characterized as tasahul (lenient). However, this characterization requires examination of the relationship between his theoretical criteria and their practical application. This study aims to analyze al-Hakim’s methodologies of hadith validation and weakening and to examine the consistency of their application in al-Mustadrak. The study employs a qualitative approach using content analysis, with al-Mustadrak as the primary source and Ma’rifat ‘Ulum al-Hadith as the principal framework for identifying al-Hakim’s criteria. The findings show that al-Hakim formulated four theoretical criteria for hadith authenticity, but only two were consistently reflected in the wording of his evaluations. Moreover, hundreds of hadiths in al-Mustadrak were not explicitly evaluated. Quantitative assessments by al-Zahabi and Ibn al-Jawzi indicate a substantial proportion of da’if, munkar, and even maudu’ hadiths. The study concludes that al-Hakim’s leniency was not necessarily rooted in theological bias (tasyayyu’) or deliberate methodological failure, but resulted from a structural gap between his formulated criteria and the compilation of al-Mustadrak, which remained unfinished at his death.

Quantitative evidence from al-Zahabi and Ibn al-Jawzi further indicates the presence of a substantial number of da’if, munkar, and even maudu’ narrations. The study concludes that al-Hakim’s leniency is better understood as a structural gap between his formulated criteria and their practical application, compounded by the unfinished compilation of al-Mustadrak at the time of his death.

Abstract

This study examines justice in Madurese inheritance practices through the sangkolan tradition in Sampang Regency. Previous studies have discussed Islamic inheritance and customary practices, but have paid limited attention to how local concepts of justice shape inheritance distribution and interact with Islamic law. This study analyzes the forms of sangkolan, the factors underlying its practice, and its position within Islamic law. Using qualitative empirical legal research, the study collected data through interviews, observation, documentation, and relevant literature. The findings show that Madurese families shape inheritance distribution by considering individual needs, social responsibilities, property functions, family deliberation, and preserving family harmony, rather than numerical equality alone. Sons generally receive agricultural or other productive assets, while daughters commonly receive houses and residential property. The study also finds that sangkolan may involve hibah when property is transferred while parents are still alive. Thus, sangkolan reflects a customary approach to inheritance that seeks to reconcile family justice with Islamic legal principles, while lifetime transfers require distinction from inheritance under faraidh.

Abstract

Women are often the victims of the destruction of nature caused by the exploitation of nature. The similarity of oppression between women and nature brings the same spirit to the ecological struggle. This study looks at the relationship between the values of local wisdom of the Karampuang indigenous people and ecofeminism principles. This article is a literature study using a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were obtained by reviewing relevant literature such as journals, books, and scientific works. This study's results show a connection between the values of Karampuang's local wisdom and the concept of cultural ecofeminism. First, three principles illustrate the similarity between Karampuang's local wisdom values and ecofeminism, namely, the principle of living simply and in harmony with nature (tuo kamase mase), the principle of humanizing the forest (mappatau ale'), and the principle of appreciating and respecting nature (mappakalebbi ale'). Secondly, conceptually, the symbols of ecofeminism are shown through the belief in Tomanurung and traditional houses with feminist characteristics. Third, the practice of women's struggle is found in the role of Sanro as a ritual leader. The struggle against government programs and official religious pressure eliminates their role as Karampuang women through traditional ceremonies that are maintained.

Abstract

This research aims to uncover the operational mechanism and the Islamic Economic Law (Hukum Ekonomi Syariah) perspective on the sale and purchase of articulated skeletons (animal bone assembly) at the Alghi Artskeleton Shop in Sumedang. The approach used is empirical-juridical with a descriptive analytical method and qualitative data. Data collection techniques were conducted through observation, interviews with the shop owner, and documentary studies. The results show that the bone assembly mechanism involves complex technical stages, ranging from manual fleshing, clearing tissue using Dermestid beetle colonies, to degreasing and oxidation processes for sterilization. From the perspective of Islamic Economic Law, this practice is categorized under the Ijarah al-Amal (labor/service) contract, where the compensation provided constitutes wages (ujrah) for technical expertise and the service of processing waste into educational media, rather than merely a price for the physical bone material. This transaction is deemed valid because it fulfills the principle of public interest (maqashid shariah), particularly in preserving the intellect (hifdh al-'aql) for research and educational purposes, and has undergone a purification process (tathir) that removes any elements of impurity (najis).

Abstract

This study examines communication characteristics and social network formation within digital Islamic preaching communities in Indonesia. It analyzes communication patterns and social network-building practices in three communities—Shift Media, UAH Official, and Yuk Ngaji—and identifies similarities and differences in their communication strategies. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach through digital content analysis. The data comprise 30 purposively selected posts published on the communities’ official Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok accounts between March and May 2026. Content selection was based on each community’s dominant communication characteristics: emotional storytelling, educational communication, and community participation. The data were analyzed using Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), supported by the concepts of virtual communities, social capital, and the mediatization of religion. The findings reveal three main models of digital Islamic preaching. Shift Media builds emotion-based social networks through emotional storytelling; UAH Official develops knowledge-based social networks through educational communication and religious authority; while Yuk Ngaji fosters community-based social networks through participatory and lifestyle-oriented approaches. These findings demonstrate that digital Islamic preaching serves not only as a medium for disseminating religious messages but also as a process of identity construction, social relationship formation, and community development in digital environments
