Kohesi Sosial pada Komunitas Jamaah Sapta Dharma di Taman Siswa Yogyakarta
No full textThis study examines how Émile Durkheim’s concept of mechanical solidarity is manifested in the daily life of the Sapta Dharma community in Taman Siswa, Yogyakarta. Situated within Indonesia’s plural social landscape and the marginal position often experienced by non–state-recognized belief groups, the Sapta Dharma community represents a social collective that sustains its existence through strong internal cohesion. Using Durkheim’s framework, the analysis focuses on four key indicators of mechanical solidarity: shared spiritual values, commitment to tradition and ancestral heritage, a simple and egalitarian division of labor, and the application of repressive or corrective responses to norm deviations. The findings indicate that social cohesion within the Sapta Dharma community is not based on functional interdependence or specialized roles characteristic of organic solidarity. Instead, it is grounded in shared beliefs, collective spiritual experiences, and a strong collective consciousness centered on core teachings such as the Wahyu Panca Gaib. Solidarity is reinforced through routine ritual practices, reverence toward the founder, and a communal way of life oriented toward inner harmony and Javanese spiritual values. The absence of rigid hierarchy and the equitable distribution of communal responsibilities further strengthen feelings of mutual cooperation and belonging.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana teori kohesi sosial Émile Durkheim, khususnya konsep solidaritas mekanik, termanifestasi dalam kehidupan sehari-hari komunitas Sapta Dharma di Taman Siswa, Yogyakarta. Dalam konteks keberagaman sosial Indonesia serta tantangan yang dihadapi kelompok penghayat kepercayaan di luar agama yang diakui negara, komunitas ini merepresentasikan kelompok sosial yang mampu mempertahankan eksistensinya melalui kohesi internal yang kuat. Analisis difokuskan pada empat indikator utama solidaritas mekanik, yaitu kesamaan nilai spiritual, keterikatan pada tradisi dan warisan leluhur, pembagian kerja yang sederhana dan egaliter, serta mekanisme penanganan penyimpangan terhadap norma komunitas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kohesi sosial dalam komunitas Sapta Dharma tidak dibangun atas dasar kontrak fungsional atau spesialisasi peran sebagaimana dalam solidaritas organik, melainkan bertumpu pada kesamaan keyakinan, pengalaman spiritual kolektif, dan kesadaran kolektif yang kuat, terutama yang berpusat pada ajaran inti Sapta Dharma seperti Wahyu Panca Gaib. Ikatan antaranggota diperkuat melalui praktik ritual yang berkelanjutan, penghormatan terhadap pendiri, serta orientasi hidup yang menekankan harmoni batin dan spiritualitas Jawa. Ketiadaan hierarki formal dan pembagian tugas yang setara mendorong tumbuhnya semangat gotong royong dan rasa memiliki bersama. Penyimpangan norma tidak ditangani melalui sanksi formal, melainkan melalui pendekatan simbolik dan upaya pemulihan harmoni sosial. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa solidaritas mekanik berfungsi sebagai mekanisme ketahanan sosial yang efektif dalam menghadapi tekanan eksternal seperti stigma dan diskriminasi, sekaligus memperkuat identitas kolektif komunitas penghayat kepercayaan di Indonesia
Semantic Analysis of the Conceptual Structure of “Disease” in the Qur’anic Context
No full textThis study examines the conceptual structure of “disease (maraḍ) within the Qur’anic lexicon, aiming to elucidate the epistemic network of Qur’anic maqāṣid dedicated to preserving human life and its environment. The central research problem lies in how the Qur’an articulates its vision of pathogenic afflictions that obstruct the realization of core human existential objectives, particularly the preservation of life- the foundational maqṣad in Islamic thought. As temporal and spatial conditions change, certain complementary (taḥsīniyyah) objectives may ascend to the rank of necessities (ḍarūriyyāt). The study’s significance rests in demonstrating the adaptability of Qur’anic maqāṣid across time and place, and their role in securing dignified human existence through safeguarding indispensable objectives: religion, intellect, lineage, property, and life itself. It also highlights the aesthetic-ethical philosophy embedded in relevant verses concerning societal privacy and personal dignity. Methodologically, the study adopts an inductive approach to pertinent Qur’anic verses, lexical-semantic analysis, and a historical survey of maqāṣid-oriented exegesis. This framework illuminates how the sacred text addresses pathogenic threats, ensures civilizational continuity, and manifests a distinctive lexical paradigm compared to post-Qur’anic Arabic lexicons. Key findings reveal that the Qur’an systematically links disease and cure to their causes while emphatically advocating preventive measures to curb epidemics, thereby reaffirming the enduring capacity of the Islamic normative framework to address contemporary challenges without compromising its ethical constants
Mengelola Dunia Tanpa Melupakan Akhirat: Analisis Hermeneutika Gadamer atas Tafsir Al-Azhar Karya Hamka terhadap Q.S. Al-Mulk: 15
No full textAbstract
The rapid development of digital technology often shifts human consciousness away from the ephemeral nature of the world. Life orientations tend to focus solely on worldly achievements, while the awareness that life is eternal in the hereafter and that every action will be held accountable is frequently neglected. This research discusses the relevance of QS. Al-Mulk verse 15 in facing the dynamics of modern life through the hermeneutic perspective of Hans-Georg Gadamer. Generally, this verse is understood as a foundation for work ethics and the utilization of Earth\u27s resources, making it a frequent basis for Islamic economic discourse. However, Hamka’s Tafsir Al-Azhar provides a different emphasis: that the core message of this verse lies in the closing phrase, “and to Him is the resurrection.” This assertion indicates that all forms of human activity, including technological exploration and the pursuit of sustenance, must exist within an eschatological framework. Through the fusion of horizons proposed by Gadamer, understanding is formed by merging the horizon of the reader with the horizon of the text, thereby generating a new, broadly relevant understanding rather than merely repeating previous meanings. This study demonstrates that the verse remains highly relevant in addressing the challenges of modern life, emphasizing the balance between worldly productivity and moral-spiritual consciousness amidst technological advancement and the psychological pressures caused by the massive flow of information.

Abstrak
Perkembangan teknologi digital yang pesat kerap menggeser kesadaran manusia terhadap sifat dunia yang fana. Orientasi hidup cenderung terfokus pada pencapaian duniawi semata, sementara kesadaran bahwa setiap kehidupan yang kekal di akhirat dan perbuatan akan dipertanggungjawabkan di akhirat kerap terabaikan. Penelitian ini membahas relevansi QS. Al-Mulk ayat 15 dalam menghadapi dinamika kehidupan modern melalui perspektif hermeneutika Hans-Georg Gadamer. Secara umum, ayat ini dipahami sebagai dasar etos kerja dan pemanfaatan sumber daya bumi, sehingga sering dijadikan landasan bagi diskursus ekonomi Islam. Namun, Tafsir Al-Azhar karya Hamka memberikan penekanan berbeda, yaitu bahwa inti pesan ayat ini justru terletak pada frasa penutup “dan kepada-Nyalah kamu akan kembali”. Penegasan tersebut menunjukkan bahwa segala bentuk aktivitas manusia, termasuk eksplorasi teknologi dan pencarian rezeki, harus berada dalam bingkai kesadaran eskatologis. Melalui fusion of horizons yang ditawarkan oleh Gadamer, pemahaman terbentuk melalui peleburan antara horizon pembaca dan horizon teks, sehingga melahirkan pemahaman baru yang luas relevan dan tidak hanya mengulang makna sebelumnya. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ayat tersebut tetap relevan dalam menghadapi tantangan kehidupan modern, dengan menekankan keseimbangan antara produktivitas duniawi dan kesadaran moral-spiritual di tengah kemajuan teknologi dan tekanan psikologis akibat laju informasi yang masif.

The Digital Religious Narratives: Psychological Analysis of al-Najā’ib (Heavenly Conveyances) Hadith in @alqariomarali Instagram Account: Narasi Keagamaan Digital: Analisis Psikologis terhadap Hadits tentang al-Najā’ib (Kendaraan Surga) di Akun Instagram @alqariomarali
No full textThe narrative concerning al-Najā’ib (heavenly conveyances) presented by the Instagram account @alqariomarali has triggered a complex discussion. Beyond the validity as a fundamental aspect of hadith studies, the psychological dimension emerging through the comments of the digital public (the audience) further reveals the significant complexity of hadith discourse within digital spaces. However, the scarcity of sources that elucidate this specific discourse presents a primary challenge in comprehending the intricacies involved. In this context, two questions form the starting point of the study: First, how does the hadith about al-Najā’ib engage with Muslim society within the digital space of Instagram? Second, what are the psychological implications of the al-Najā’ib religious narrative for Muslim society? Employing a descriptive-analytical approach based on library research, this study combines methodological verification from the science of hadith with the theories of Emotional Contagion and Collective Effervescence to analyze the dissemination of religious emotion within online communities. The findings indicate that, although the hadith is classified as dha’īf, its propagation on Instagram forms a kind of “virtual majelis dzikir” that has the potential to foster positive emotions, social cohesion, and serious motivation for worship among the digital populace. Nevertheless, to maintain a dynamic of critical discourse toward religious narratives, strengthening literacy is essential to support religious outreach that is simultaneously empathetic and critically engaged with source validity
Abraham’s Sacrifice in the Qur’an and the Bible: Comparative Hermeneutics of Narrative, Meaning, and Textual Authority
No full textThis study examines the long-standing theological and exegetical debate over the identity of the intended sacrificial son in the story of Abraham’s sacrifice—Isaac or Ishmael— and its implications for interreligious relations. The study departs from the observation that much of the existing scholarship on Q. 37:99-113 and Genesis 22 is shaped by polemical and identity-driven readings that privilege communal supremacy and scriptural integrity, while common ethical interpretations are often neglected. Methodologically, this article employs a comparative hermeneutic that juxtaposes classical and contemporary Qur’anic exegesis with Jewish and Christian interpretations of the Aqedah. By tracing the diachronic development of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian exegetical traditions, the study identifies both the points of contestation and the areas of convergence in reading Abraham’s sacrifice. The article argues that, despite enduring disagreements regarding whether Isaac or Ishmael was the intended sacrifice, the three traditions share at least two major theological and ethical commitments: Abraham’s unwavering faith and obedience to God, and a principled rejection of human sacrifice as incompatible with divine justice. These shared principles acquire renewed significance in the context of ongoing religiously motivated conflicts, where sacred narratives are frequently mobilized to legitimize violence. By foregrounding a harmonious and ethically oriented reading of Abraham’s sacrifice, this study contributes to Qur’anic studies, comparative scripture, and interfaith dialogue. It suggests that the narrative can serve as a theological resource for peacebuilding and interreligious solidarity, while future research may further explore its application in peace education and liturgical practices.
Dekonstruksi Makna Ya’juj dan Ma’juj dalam QS. al-Kahfi: 94: Analisis Ekoteologis melalui Hermeneutika Paul Ricoeur
No full textSurah al-Kahf:94 recounts the story of a people who sought assistance from a king named Dhul-Qarnayn to construct a barrier. This wall was intended to separate them from Ya’juj and Ma’juj (Gog and Magog), who were known for spreading corruption and chaos across the land. As eras progress, so too does human knowledge and the necessity for guidance from the Holy Qur’an—the definitive manual for every Muslim.This article aims to present a contemporary interpretation of QS. al-Kahf:94 that resonates with modern readers, utilizing the hermeneutic framework proposed by Paul Ricoeur. The central research question is: How can QS. al-Kahf:94 be interpreted through the perspective of Paul Ricoeur’s hermeneutics? In the author’s view, Ya’juj and Ma’juj represent individuals or entities that commit systemic destruction on Earth. The devastation they cause involves the reckless destruction of the environment—treating nature as a mere commodity to be enjoyed and subsequently abandoned in a state of ruin without accountability. From this perspective, humanity views the natural world solely as an object for exploitation to achieve personal interests.In various exegetical literatures, interpretations of Ya’juj and Ma’juj vary significantly. Some scholars identify them as a specific tribe that will emerge to spread corruption before the Day of Judgment. Imran Hosein suggests that Ya’juj and Ma’juj refer to nuclear-armed nations intent on causing global destruction through warfare. Similarly, in his commentary, Buya Hamka defines Ya’juj and Ma’juj as any movement or force that brings about corruption and ruin on Earth
QS. al-Kahfi:94 menceritakan kaum yang meminta pertolongan kepada seorang raja bernama Żulkarnain, agar membangunkan mereka sebuah tembok untuk memisahkan mereka dari Ya’juj dan Ma’juj yang suka merusak di bumi. Seiring dengan berkembangnya zaman maka berkembang pula ilmu pengetahuan dan kebutuhan manusia akan petunjuk dari kitab suci -al-Qur’an- yang menjadi pedoman bagi setiap muslim. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menghadirkan pemaknaan QS. al-Kahfi:94 yang relate dengan pembaca, yang akan diteliti menggunakan hermeneutika yang digagas oleh Paul Ricoeur. Masalah yang dapat dirumuskan dari penelitian ini adalah, bagaimana pemaknaan QS.al-Kahfi:94 dalam perspektif hermenutika Paul Ricoeur? Ya’juj dan Ma’juj sendiri menurut hemat penulis merupakan manusia yang suka berbuat kerusakan di bumi, kerusakan yang mereka perbuat adalah menghancurkan alam secara serampangan, menjadikan alam hanya dinikmati kemudian ditinggal dalam keadaan rusak tanpa pertanggungjawaban, manusia menganggap alam sebagai sesuatu yang harus dieksploitasi demi meraih kepentingan pribadi. Dalam beberapa literatur tafsir, Ya’juj dan Ma’juj memiliki penafsiran yang beragam, ada yang mengatakan mereka adalah satu kaum yang suka berbuat kerusakan yang akan muncul sebelum hari kiamat. Imran Hosein yang menyebutkan Ya’juj dan Ma’juj merupakan bangsa-bangsa yang memiliki nuklir dan ingin melakukan kerusakan di muka bumi, dengan berperang. Begitu juga Buya Hamka dalam tafsirnya menyebut Ya’juj dan Ma’juj merupakan setiap gerak yang merusak di bumi
Analysis Analysis of The Utilization of Religious Sentiments in Political Parties in The Pilkada Campaign in Sidoarjo
No full textThis research analyzes the utilization of religious sentiment in the political campaign strategies of local political parties during the regional head elections (Pilkada) in Sidoarjo. The study employs a qualitative field research method through in-depth interviews, media content analysis, and observation. The purpose is to explore how religious symbols, narratives, and identity politics are mobilized to gain political legitimacy and mass support. In particular, the study focuses on how candidates strategically employ religious expressions, such as references to Islamic values, practices, and symbols, to resonate with voters, especially in a region where religion plays a significant role in social and cultural life. The results show that several political parties in Sidoarjo intentionally used religious issues, particularly those tied to Islamic values and institutions, as campaign tools. These strategies include invoking Islamic symbols, securing endorsements from religious leaders, and framing political discourse within religious narratives to appeal to religious sentiment. It has significant implications for the democratic process, raising concerns about the potential polarization of society and the manipulation of religious identity for political gain. Additionally, such practices may impact religious harmony in the region, as political parties exploit religious sentiments to consolidate their voter base. Theoretically, this study contributes to the discourse of political sociology and the sociology of religion by highlighting how religion is instrumentalized in contemporary electoral politics providing insights into the intersection of religion and political strategy in local governance
Ḥūr and Qur’anic Beauty beyond Patriarchal Dualism in a Khalīfah–Mīzān Reading
No full textDespite extensive debates on ḥūr in Qur’anic exegesis, the imagery of paradise is still frequently read through patriarchal assumptions that reduce female figures to sensual reward and obscure the Qur’an’s ethical and ecological horizon. This article aims to critique patriarchal readings of ḥūr as feminized paradisiacal reward and to propose a khalīfah–mīzān-guided eco-tafsīr that reorients Qur’anic “beauty” toward gender and ecological justice. The study uses qualitative, text-based research through comparative hermeneutical tafsīr analysis of Qur’anic passages on ḥūr and related ethical principles (khalīfah and mīzān), employing lexical–semantic analysis, close reading, and cross-tafsīr comparison. The findings show that patriarchal interpretations are sustained by an androcentric dualism that separates humans from nature and legitimizes domination, whereas a khalīfah–mīzān framework enables a relational reading that affirms women’s subjectivity and shifts beauty away from commodification toward ecological intimacy. Overall, this approach offers a text-grounded pathway for reading paradise imagery as an ethical horizon that integrates gender justice with ecological responsibility
Women’s Head Covering in Acehnese Tafsīr: Genealogical and Socio-Historical Readings of Two Vernacular Exegeses
No full textThis article examines how women’s head covering is interpreted in Acehnese exegetical works across two centuries by comparing Tarjumān al-Mustafīd of ‘Abd al-Ra’ūf al-Fansūrī al-Singkilī (d. 1693) and Al-Qur’an al-Karim dan Terjemahan Bebas Bersajak dalam Bahasa Aceh by Tengku Mahjiddin Jusuf (d. 1994). Using a genealogical approach and social-historical reading, it traces the interpretive transmission and local adaptation of key Qur’anic terms related to female modesty—especially khimār/khumur, jalābīb, and juyūb—within Aceh’s shifting socio-political contexts. The analysis shows that Acehnese meanings of head covering are not fixed outcomes of the Qur’anic lexicon alone, but emerge through selective appropriation of earlier Sunni authorities and vernacularization into local dress-terms (e.g., telekung/sileukom and ija tob ulé). Social-historical comparison further indicates that al-Singkilī’s reading helped form an early interpretive horizon of female modesty in the period of royal governance, whereas Jusuf’s interpretation functions as a reinforcing discourse in a later setting no longer shaped by sultanate structures. Overall, the study clarifies how vernacular tafsīr operates as a mediating space where Qur’anic language, inherited exegetical authority, and local social practice continually reshape one another
Event Contextualization in Hadith Interpretation: A Framework for Reassessing Problematic Hadith Narratives
No full textCertain prophetic traditions (Hadīth) are still read through a textual-absolutist lens that treats situational speech as timeless law, often generating interpretations that feel ethically troubling or socially unworkable today. This article proposes event contextualization as a practical framework for reinterpreting “problematic” Hadīth by reconstructing the triggering event and its immediate social setting (asbāb al-wurūd), mapping variant transmissions, and then reassessing the report’s normative force in light of Qur’anic moral horizons and maqāṣid al-sharīʿah. Using qualitative textual analysis and contextual hermeneutics—supported by matn and sanad checks—the study examines recurring clusters of narrations frequently invoked in contemporary debates, especially on gender, minority relations, apostasy, and political obedience. The analysis suggests that many interpretive dead-ends arise when context-bound directives are universalized without attending to the occasion, audience, and intent of the Prophet’s instruction. By operationalizing event reconstruction alongside purposive ethical reasoning, the article offers a replicable way to distinguish time-sensitive instructions from transferable moral principles. It argues that this approach strengthens contemporary fiqh al-ḥadīth by reducing interpretive overreach while preserving the Prophetic moral aim
