Abstract

This study examines the influence of Illuminative Philosophy (Hikmah al-Ishrāq) on the construction of the concept of the ideal society in Ayatollah Khomeini’s political thought. The research is important because most previous studies on Khomeini have emphasized revolutionary politics, constitutional structure, or ideological formulation, while giving less attention to the metaphysical foundations of political legitimacy in his thought. This study employs a qualitative library research approach using historical-intellectual inquiry and hermeneutic-conceptual analysis. Data were collected through systematic document analysis of Khomeini’s major political and mystical works, read alongside key texts from Suhrawardi, Mullā Ṣadrā, Plato, and al-Fārābī, as well as relevant secondary scholarship. The study finds that Khomeini’s concept of the ideal society constitutes a political articulation of an illuminative-ontological structure that emphasizes a hierarchy of existence and spiritual authority. Khomeini interprets Wilāyat al-Faqīh as a mediation between transcendent reality and social order, thereby grounding political legitimacy in ontological and epistemological foundations rather than merely normative-legal reasoning. The findings expand the understanding of the metaphysical foundations of modern Islamic political theory and demonstrate that metaphysics can function as a source of state legitimacy within modernity. The originality of this study lies in its integrative reading of Illuminative Philosophy, ‘irfan, and Khomeini’s theory of the state as a coherent epistemic paradigm.

Abstract

This study examines religious extremism in conflict-affected societies in Sub-Saharan Africa as a form of symbolic domination within the religious field and explores the extent to which local religious communities can contribute to socio-economic reconstruction. This study employs a qualitative, document-based approach. Data were collected through the analysis of African liberation theology literature, studies on religious extremism in Africa, official reports from international institutions, and selected credible online media sources. The data were analyzed using thematic-critical analysis, with particular attention to the concepts of symbolic domination, habitus, field, symbolic capital, and community-based social reconstruction. The study finds that religious extremism operates not only through physical violence but also through symbolic domination, whereby extremist actors seek to monopolize religious interpretation, legitimize violence, and reshape collective dispositions under conditions of poverty, exclusion, and state fragility. The study also shows that extremism deepens structural suffering by disrupting livelihoods, weakening solidarity, and paralyzing grassroots survival creativity. At the same time, the religious field remains open to contestation, and mosque-based communities may serve as spaces of resistance, moral protection, peacebuilding, and socio-economic recovery. These findings suggest that efforts to prevent violent extremism should move beyond military and security-centered approaches by strengthening local religious communities as social and economic actors. The study contributes to ongoing debates on religion and violence by highlighting the importance of community-based religious infrastructures in promoting resilience, rehabilitation, and bottom-up reconstruction in conflict-affected settings.

Abstract

This study examines how the contemplative atmosphere of the Santa Maria Scala Coeli Monastery in Évora, Portugal, has been sustained despite the transition of its resident religious community from the male Carthusian Order to a female contemplative community of the Servidoras do Senhor e da Virgem de Matará. The research aims to analyze how spatial enclosure, temporal discipline, and embedded religious memory contribute to the continuity of spirit of place within a monastic site undergoing institutional change. This study employs a qualitative approach using spatial phenomenology and a narrative-oriented design. Data were collected through field observation of the monastery’s spatial configuration, visual documentation of architectural and landscape elements, and documentary analysis of historical, architectural, and institutional sources. The findings show that the contemplative atmosphere of Scala Coeli is produced through three interrelated dimensions: the layered architecture of enclosure that regulates access and withdrawal, the repetitive temporal order of bells, liturgy, silence, and ascetic routine, and the persistence of spiritual memory within the built environment during and after community transition. The study also finds that the departure of the Carthusian monks in 2019 and the installation of a female religious community in 2022 did not automatically dissolve the contemplative character of the monastery. Instead, the atmosphere continues through the relative stability of its architectural structure, the sedimentation of religious practices in space, and the renewed operation of clausura. The implications of this study lie in its contribution to the study of religious architecture, sacred atmosphere, and lived religion, particularly in showing that the continuity of contemplative space may persist across institutional and gendered transitions. The originality of this research lies in its integration of architectural analysis, temporal discipline, and community transformation within a single narrative-phenomenological framework for interpreting the continuity of spirit of place in a monastic environment.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the formation of eschatological aesthesis in Orthodox hymnography and iconography in medieval Rus’ as a constitutive mode of religious consciousness. The study is important because previous scholarship on Orthodox eschatology has tended to emphasize doctrine, symbolism, or iconographic content without adequately explaining how eschatological meaning is organized through perception, affect, and liturgical experience. This research employs a qualitative, document-based design with a phenomenological-hermeneutic approach. Data were collected through close reading and document analysis of selected hymnographic and liturgical texts, Old Russian hagiographical narratives, and a representative iconographic form of the Last Judgment. The findings show that eschatological motifs such as resurrection, judgment, divine light, repentance, and kenosis are aesthetically structured through rhythm, repetition, metaphor, and symbolic contrast in the selected texts. The study also finds that eschatological meaning is intensified through the integration of visual, auditory, bodily, and symbolic elements within liturgical practice, while temporal structures of memory, anticipation, and calendrical repetition stabilize this experience into a durable religious habitus. These findings contribute to religious studies by showing that eschatology in medieval Orthodox culture functioned not merely as doctrine, but as a multisensory and temporal mode of consciousness formation. The originality of this study lies in its formulation of eschatological aesthesis as a perceptual and symbolic synthesis that connects hymnography, iconography, and liturgical temporality within a single analytical framework.

Abstract

This study examines the position and representation of sacred text studies in undergraduate and graduate theses within the Religious Studies Program at Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic University, Indonesia, and explores the factors associated with their relatively limited presence. The study is important in light of the growing prominence of empirical and interdisciplinary approaches in Religious Studies, which may influence students’ research orientations and the balance between textual and contextual inquiry. This research employs a qualitative approach with descriptive survey elements. Data were collected through document analysis of 100 thesis titles produced between 2020 and 2024, a checklist-based questionnaire administered to 30 respondents, and in-depth interviews with five lecturers and three students. The data were analyzed interpretatively to identify thematic patterns, associated factors, and students’ perceived academic support needs. The findings show that sacred text studies appear in only seven titles, or 7% of the total theses analyzed, while most student research is oriented toward sociological, cultural, interreligious, and other contextual approaches. Their limited representation is associated with structural constraints, methodological challenges, and students’ preferences for topics perceived as more practical and manageable. The study implies that strengthening textual methodology training, improving access to primary sources, and enhancing expert supervision may help create a more balanced academic environment. The originality of this study lies in its micro-academic focus on student thesis practices, offering an empirical account of how disciplinary orientations are shaped within a specific Religious Studies program.
