Beyond al-Jarḥ wa at-Ta‘dīl: A Critical Study of the Narrators Accused of Lying in Sunan Ibn Mājah
Full text linkIslamic scholars have endeavored to address the spread of unauthentic traditions transmitted by unreliable narrators. The science of al-Jarḥ wa al-Ta\u27dīl plays an important role in the study of hadith criticism as it helps determine whether the narrators are trustworthy or have a bad track record. In this context, Sunan Ibn Mājah has several narrators who have very bad reputations, and some of them are even known to have lied or fabricated traditions. This study investigates these narrators using the al-Jarḥ wa al-Ta\u27dīl approach. The sources of data are books on biographical dictionaries of narrators, books on fabricated traditions, and books on hadith commentaries. The study identified thirty-one narrators who were accused of lying in the name of the Prophet. Among these narrators was Ibn Mājah’s direct teacher, ‘Abd al-Wahāb b. al-Ḍaḥāk (245/859), from whom Ibn Mājah narrated six traditions. Meanwhile, the narrator with the most narrations is Jābir b. Yazīd al-Ju\u27fī (128/750), who has sixteen narrations. Therefore, it is important to be cautious in looking at the traditions in Sunan Ibn Mājah because some of the narrators are liars. Researchers should continue to apply al-Jarḥ wa al-Ta\u27dīl to maintain integrity and ensure that Muslims are protected from misleading traditions

The Concept of Munkar in al-Dhahabī’s Critique of al-Ḥākim’s Hadith Authentication in al-Mustadrak
No full textThe exclusion of certain hadiths by the compilers of al-Shaykhān (Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim), despite their acceptance of the same transmitters in other narrations, indicates the presence of particular flaws within those reports. This selective process has generated substantial discussion in the field of hadith criticism, especially around the notion of “authentication according to their conditions.” Scholarly debates have long centered on how such conditions were defined, interpreted, and applied by later critics. This study explores the methodological divergence between al-Ḥākim al-Nīsābūrī (d. 405/1014) and al-Dhahabī (d. 748/1348) concerning the use of Bukhārī and Muslim’s criteria as benchmarks for authenticity. Specifically, it examines hadiths that al-Ḥākim classified as “authentic according to the conditions of al-Shaykhān or one of them,” but which al-Dhahabī subsequently rejected as munkar. Through an inductive-critical approach, the analysis engages six representative cases drawn from al-Mustadrak and Talkhīṣ al-Mustadrak, allowing for a close reading of how both scholars articulated and operationalized their respective standards. The findings suggest that al-Ḥākim’s approach to authentication was often generous, at times overlooking structural and contextual defects, whereas al-Dhahabī’s assessments reflected a stricter evaluative framework. His judgments of munkar frequently rested on the identification of weak transmitters, disrupted isnād structures, or questionable transmission contexts. Beyond highlighting their methodological contrast, this study raises broader questions about the coherence and applicability of “conditions of the Shaykhān” as a category of hadith validation. Rather than closing the debate, the cases underscore the interpretive tensions within classical hadith criticism and invite further inquiry into how later scholars negotiated between textual authority and critical scrutiny
IMPERFECT PEACE AND THE ZAWIYA IN THE EASTERN RIF: THE TRANSFORMATION OF SUFI BROTHERHOODS IN POST-INDEPENDENCE MOROCCO
No full textThis article presents a theoretical approach rooted in Peace Research to examine the religious landscape of the eastern Rif following Morocco\u27s independence. The period of independence positioned religious entities at a critical juncture in their long history, representing a particularly unstable time for the Sufi brotherhoods associated with these zawiya. The social spaces created by the zawiya have been influenced by new sociocultural dynamics, leading to their transformation and adaptation in response to contemporary demands. This study aims to guide the reader toward understanding peace as an ongoing journey that coexists with conflict, highlighting the peaceful elements that emerge within these Sufi entities. Insights derived from research on peace, particularly the theory of Imperfect Peace, illuminate the dynamism of the zawiya, their roles as agents of social harmony, and the space-time transformations they undergo in the pursuit of continuous and transformative peace. This exploration focuses on one of the most deeply rooted entities in the eastern Rif.

Artikel ini meneliti pendekatan teoretis yang berakar pada penelitian perdamaian untuk mengkaji lanskap keagamaan di Rif timur pasca kemerdekaan Maroko. Periode kemerdekaan di sana menempatkan entitas-entitas keagamaan pada titik kritis dalam sejarah panjang mereka, yang mewakili masa yang sangat tidak stabil bagi persaudaraan Sufi yang terkait dengan Zawiya ini. Ruang sosial yang diciptakan Zawiya dipengaruhi oleh dinamika sosio-kultural baru yang mengarah pada transformasi dan adaptasi menghadapi tuntutan-tuntutan kontemporer pada masanya. Studi ini bertujuan membahas perdamaian sebagai perjalanan berkelanjutan yang hidup berdampingan dengan konflik, dengan menyoroti elemen-elemen damai yang muncul dalam entitas-entitas Sufi ini. Wawasan yang diperoleh dari penelitian tentang perdamaian, khususnya teori Perdamaian yang Tidak Sempurna, menyoroti dinamisme Zawiya, peran mereka sebagai agen harmoni sosial, dan transformasi ruang-waktu yang mereka alami dalam mengejar perdamaian yang berkelanjutan dan transformatif. Eksplorasi ini berfokus pada salah satu entitas yang paling mengakar di Rif Timu, Maroko.

Aesthetic Representation of Sufi Femininity: Women’s Costumes and Symbolism in Wayang Wali and Wayang Sambung
No full textThis article examines the aesthetic representation of female characters in Wayang Wali by Ki Sunan Sunhaji and Wayang Sambung by Ki Muhammad Mukti as part of the Islamic cultural da’wah strategy in Java. Drawing on visual semiotics, the analysis focuses on the depiction of female figures through physical appearance, ornaments, costumes, and bodily expressions as interconnected systems of cultural signs. The findings indicate that the representation of women in Wayang Wali and Wayang Sambung deliberately avoids sensuality and luxury, instead emphasizing simplicity, modesty, and spiritual values aligned with Islamic teachings. Elements such as soft color tones, modest clothing, and restrained bodily expressions are employed to construct an idealized image of femininity grounded in Sufi philosophy and Javanese-Islamic ethical principles. Women are represented not as objects of desire, but as symbolic figures embodying grace, humility, and spirituality. In conclusion, the visual aesthetics of female characters in these wayang traditions demonstrate a unique synthesis of religious values, local cultural identity, and artistic expression. As forms of cultural representation, Wayang Wali and Wayang Sambung function not only as artistic media but also as significant instruments of Islamic cultural transmission, offering an alternative model of beauty and femininity rooted in ethical and spiritual ideals
Transformation of Social Identity Among Former Thugs in Surakarta City: Self-Navigation within Religious Communities
No full textThis article examines the transformation of the social identity of former gangsters (preman) in the city of Solo who seek to rebuild their religious identity through the process of hijrah and active participation in religious communities such as Juba Rescue and Ekspreso. The study employs the Social Identity Theory (Tajfel & Turner) and the Stigma and Identity Management Theory (Erving Goffman) to understand the dynamics of self-transformation and the strategies used to manage a spoiled identity. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and field documentation conducted between 2023 and 2024. The findings reveal that the transformation of former gangsters’ social identity unfolds across five main dimensions: (1) Social Identity Repositioning — from Gangster to Respected Muslim; (2) Symbolic Representation and Self-Presentation; (3) Spiritual Process and Moral Transition; (4) Ideological and Social Loyalty Shifts; and (5) Economic Reorientation and the Emergence of a New Work Ethic. This process illustrates a continuous negotiation between a deviant past and the construction of a renewed religious self, highlighting the success of stigma management in shaping a new social identity within the urban public sphere
Relevansi Pemikiran Ibnu \u27Arabi Bagi Masyarakat Digital: Sebuah Refleksi Filosofis
No full textIbn ‘Arabi is a highly influential philosopher and Sufi within the Islamic civilization. While his thoughts have been extensively studied by scholars, their relevance to the life of digital society has seldom been explored. This research aims to examine the applicability of Ibn ‘Arabi’s thoughts in addressing the challenges and issues faced by digital society, such as social anxiety, dependency on social media validation, and more. The study seeks to offer pathways toward balancing technological advancement with the preservation of spiritual values. Employing a library research method with a philosophical approach, this study aims to produce critical, reflective, and comprehensive insights. Referring to various literature on Ibn \u27Arabi and the life of digital society, the findings of this study indicate that Ibn \u27Arabi\u27s teachings remain relevant, albeit not in their entirety. The concept of al-Insān al-Kāmil highlights the importance of honesty and inner integrity amid the pressures of social media, encouraging individuals to avoid solely seeking external validation and instead to use digital platforms as a means of spreading goodness and building meaningful connections. Meanwhile, the concept of Waḥdat al-Wujūd teaches that each individual is a manifestation of the One Divine, fostering self-acceptance and gratitude, as well as promoting tolerance for diversity. By understanding and embracing these two concepts, digital society can strive for a balance between technological progress and spiritual awareness, fostering a more meaningful life
Dari Penafsiran Yang Keras Ke Lembut: Kontekstualisasi QS. at-Taubah [9]: 5 Melalui Lensa Double Movement Fazlur Rahman
No full textQS. At-Taubah [9]: 5 has often been interpreted literally by classical exegetes and some modern commentators as a command to kill polytheists, thereby giving the verse a tone of violence. Such interpretations tend to overlook the historical context and moral objectives of the verse, thus limiting the possibility of uncovering more contextual and ethical meanings. This study therefore seeks to reveal a more tolerant understanding of QS. at-Taubah [9]: 5 through Fazlur Rahman’s double movement hermeneutical approach. The main focus is to analyze the verse’s original meaning, the historical and sociological context at the time of its revelation, and how this approach can contextualize the verse so as to draw out the ethical values that have often been neglected in traditional exegesis. To achieve this aim, the research employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method to examine QS. at-Taubah [9]: 5 through a hermeneutical lens, in order to uncover its potential for a more contextual meaning. The findings indicate that, textually, QS. at-Taubah [9]: 5 contains imperative forms such as “kill” and “capture.” However, from both linguistic and exegetical perspectives, these commands are contextual and directed solely toward polytheists who had violated a peace treaty. The verse was revealed after the conquest of Mecca, when the Muslim community had become the dominant power, and the command to fight was issued in response to threats posed by polytheist groups who had breached their commitments to peace. Through the hermeneutical framework, the meaning of this verse is contextualized so that it aligns with the ethical principles of Islam, which reject violence except in defense against a genuine threat. This study demonstrates that the verse commonly classified as an ayat qital (verse of fighting) does not, in fact, promote violence. Rather, it underscores values of justice, peace, and tolerance, principles that are fully consistent with the ideal of peaceful coexistence in modern societies such as Indonesia
Salafis and Social Media: The Emergence of Islamic Populism in Indonesia
Full text linkThe development of the Salafism movement in Indonesia is supported by the digitalization of their preaching, even though previously this group claimed to be Puritan, rejected modernization and was known to be strict in interpreting the Koran and hadith. This article explains how Salafi preaching is increasingly spreading on social media with an Islamic populism approach based on political economy. Salafists claim that the digitalization of their preaching can be accepted by society, especially young people in the upper middle class, as evidenced by the millions of people following their social media accounts. This research data was collected through in-depth interviews with Salafi figures and managers of their digital da\u27wah channels, namely Rasyaad TV in Medan and Surau TV in Padang, and observing content from Salafi\u27s social media accounts. The findings of this research show that Islamic populism is developing and is characterized by the Salafist movement adapting to developments in the digital world. They promote their ideology through Instagram, YouTube, and satellite TV channels. Even though in the early days, their da\u27wah tended to be more conventional and limited to the Salafi Mahjab community, now it is open to anyone and anywhere. In packaging Salafi preaching content, this movement also adapts to local (Minangkabau) culture, so the local community can accept it. Salafis are also starting to show their support for the democratic system by participating in general elections even though they previously strongly rejected the democratic political system in Indonesia. These findings could have implications for the new Islamic populism movement with the struggle for digital space as the spearhead of da\u27wah to strengthen Salafi religious ideology as well as negotiate the political system that applies to Salafi congregations in Indonesi
Digital Narratives of Religious Contestation: Social Media Responses to Buddhist Monks’ Prayer in a Mosque
Full text linkThis study investigates the event of a group of Buddhist monks praying during the Vesak holiday in 2024 at the Baiturrahman Mosque in Bengkal, Temanggung, and the subsequent public responses on social media. In Indonesia, where Islam is the predominant religion, there are sometimes interfaith encounters that transcend conventional borders. The monks’ prayer, which was recorded and extensively shared on social media sites including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, provoked a range of responses, from appreciation for religious tolerance to concerns about the sanctity of sacred space. Using mediatization and framing theories, the study explores how the incident was portrayed and how it shaped public perception. A mixed-method approach, combining sentiment and thematic analyses of social media comments, identifies themes of societal harmony, religious identity, and tolerance. Positive sentiments celebrating interfaith tolerance predominated, though some saw it as overstepping religious boundaries. This case highlights social media’s role in framing religious discourse and influencing opinions, emphasizing its impact on interfaith relations and societal tolerance in Indonesia. The study sheds light on how digital media shapes views on interreligious engagement and coexistence
