Beyond Algorithmic Spirituality: An Islamic Ontological Framework for Digital Religious Practice
Get PDFPurpose: This study aims to develop an Islamic ontological framework for digital religious practice as a response to the reductionism and fragmentation characterizing digital New Age spirituality. The research addresses a critical gap in contemporary scholarship, where digital spirituality is often examined descriptively or pragmatically without sufficient engagement with underlying ontological foundations, particularly within Islamic philosophical discourse. Methodology: This research employs a qualitative conceptual–philosophical approach using systematic conceptual synthesis. The study analyzes twenty-five peer-reviewed scholarly articles published between 2018 and 2025 on digital religiosity, New Age spirituality, and Islamic ontology, alongside classical Islamic sources. Following Jaakkola’s framework for conceptual research, the analysis proceeds through thematic categorization, comparative ontological analysis across six dimensions, and abductive theoretical synthesis to construct a normative framework of Islamic cyberspirituality. Findings: The study identifies four constitutive patterns of digital New Age spirituality—individualism, syncretism, aesthetic spirituality, and commodification—which collectively generate three ontological ruptures: displacement of transcendence by subjective emotionalism, replacement of religious authority by algorithmic validation, and transformation of spiritual discipline into consumable experience. In contrast, Islamic cyberspirituality is shown to rest on two interlocking principles: tawhid as the ontological axis preserving the Creator–creation distinction and revelation-based truth, and tazkiyah al-nafs as a transformative discipline orienting spiritual growth vertically toward God. This framework repositions technology as wasīlah (instrumental means) rather than ghāyah (end), and generates concrete implications across five domains: digital da‘wah, online Sufism, authority structures, attention governance, and religious identity formation. Implications: The findings offer actionable guidance for Muslim content creators, educators, religious institutions, technologists, and individual believers seeking to cultivate authentic digital spirituality. The framework provides evaluative criteria for digital religious content, ethical principles for technology design, and practical strategies for resisting commodification and algorithmic domination in religious practice. Originality/Value: This study contributes original value by moving beyond critique toward constructive ontological reconstruction. It is among the first to systematically integrate classical Islamic metaphysics with contemporary digital practice theory, demonstrating that tawhid and tazkiyah al-nafs provide robust conceptual resources for addressing algorithmic authority, attention commodification, and spiritual fragmentation in digital environments
Analysis of Performance-Based and Affirmation Grant Management in the Madrasah Reform Program
Get PDFThis study aims to analyze the management of the Bantuan Kinerja dan Afirmasi (BKBA) within the Madrasah Reform Program initiated by the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia in collaboration with the World Bank to improve the quality of governance and educational services in madrasahs. The study focuses on two madrasahs with distinct characteristics: MIS Assubkiyah in Rawalumbu, Bekasi (urban area) and Jamiyatul Usbuiyah in Pandeglang, Serang (rural area). The research employs a qualitative approach using a comparative case study design. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews using purposive sampling techniques, and documentation. The data were then analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, supported by source triangulation to ensure validity. The results indicate that BKBA management in both madrasahs covers the aspects of planning, implementation, reporting, and monitoring and evaluation. MIS Assubkiyah demonstrates more effective governance due to stronger human resources, higher digital literacy, and transformational leadership, whereas Jamiyatul Usbuiyah encounters limitations related to facilities and managerial capacity. Internal factors influencing the effectiveness of management include the leadership of the madrasah principal, team commitment, and work culture, while external factors involve assistance from the Ministry of Religious Affairs, technical support, and geographical conditions. The tangible impacts of the BKBA are reflected in the improvement of physical facilities, the modernization of digital learning, and enhanced transparency in financial governance. This study concludes that the effectiveness of BKBA management is strongly influenced by the application of Performance-Based Management principles, which emphasize transparency, accountability, and collective participation. Strengthening mentoring and digital management training is needed to ensure the sustainability of the program and its contribution to improving the quality of Islamic education

The Influence of Understanding the Language of Love on the Resilience of Young Muslim Gen Z Families: An Exploratory Mixed-Methods Approach
Get PDFThis study aims to analyze the influence of understanding the language of love on the resilience of young Muslim Generation Z families. The rising trend of divorce among young people in Indonesia, including among Muslims of all generations, highlights the importance of examining the affective aspects and emotional communication within families. This study employs a mixed-method approach with a sequential exploratory design, beginning with a qualitative study followed by a quantitative phase. The study focuses on Muslim Generation Z couples residing in Banjarmasin City, South Kalimantan Province. In the qualitative phase, interviews were conducted with five Muslim Generation Z married couples to explore the dynamics of love languages and marital resilience. These findings served as the basis for developing a quantitative survey instrument, which was distributed to 102 respondents. Quantitative data analysis revealed that the most dominant love languages were Acts of Service (70.6%) and Physical Touch (69.6%). Pearson\u27s correlation indicated a moderate positive relationship between understanding of love languages and the level of family resilience among young Muslim couples (r = 0.56). Respondents who felt understood in their love language tended to have more effective communication, higher emotional bonds, and the ability to resolve conflicts more maturely. The practical implications of these findings are important for educational institutions, religious counselors, and family coaches in nurturing a resilient and harmonious young generation of Muslim families
Artificial Intelligence and Learning Innovation: A Perception of Learning Transformation in Islamic Religious Higher Education Institutions (PTKI)
Get PDFThis study aims to explore the perceptions of lecturers and students at Islamic Religious Higher Education Institutions (PTKI) regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in learning, as well as to analyze its benefits, obstacles, ethical values, and the level of readiness for implementation. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire distributed to lecturers and students at STAIN Teungku Dirundeng Meulaboh. The results show that lecturers\u27 knowledge of AI has a significant relationship with the perceived benefits in learning, identified obstacles, ethical awareness, and implementation readiness. A strong correlation was found between the benefits of AI and user readiness. The study also found a significant relationship between AI use and lecturers\u27 teaching preparedness. However, no significant relationship was found between perceived benefits and perceived obstacles. In general, respondents showed a positive attitude toward the integration of AI in learning, with the caveat that AI usage must be aligned with Islamic values. The main obstacles to AI usage were identified as limited digital infrastructure and low technological literacy, which, while present, have not completely hindered AI adoption in learning. This study emphasizes that institutional readiness and the knowledge of academic stakeholders are key to successful and contextual digital transformation in PTKI environments, particularly at STAIN Teungku Dirundeng Meulaboh
Islamic ecoteology and the spirit of fastabiqul khairat: A reconstruction of the theology of goodness in the era of ecological crisis and digital public space
Get PDFThis study aims to analyze the relationship between Islamic theology and the global ecological crisis through the perspective of Islamic ecotheology. The main focus is to explore the principles of monotheism, khalifah, and amanah as the basis for the formation of Islamic ecological ethics relevant to the development of sustainable civilization in the modern era. This study employs a qualitative approach, utilising library research methods. Data were obtained from primary and secondary literature related to Islamic theology, environmental ethics, and ecological spirituality. The analysis was conducted descriptively and reflectively, using an interpretative model to examine ecotheological values within the context of the global environmental crisis. This study found that Islamic ecotheological values have the potential to build a theology of a good paradigm that integrates faith, knowledge, and ecological action. The principle of Fastabiqul Khairat (competing in goodness) can serve as a theological basis for encouraging environmental action and interfaith digital da\u27wah as a form of spiritual responsibility towards the earth. The results of this study can be applied in various fields, including Islamic education, environmental ethics, social theology, and digital communication studies. These findings are also relevant to the development of public policy, socio-religious movements, and ecology-based da\u27wah strategies that strengthen spiritual awareness and environmental sustainability. This research presents a reconstruction of the theology of goodness, drawing on Islamic ecotheology and its integration with digital culture. This approach expands the role of Islamic theology from the normative realm to collaborative ecological praxis, making a new contribution to the development of environmental theology discourse in the global era
