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.
