Improving the Quality of Healthcare Services for Patient well-being through Maqaṣid al-Sharia: a Study at Klaten Islamic Hospital
No full textThis study aims to analyze the implementation of Maqaṣid al-Sharīah in improving the quality of healthcare services and patient well-being at Klaten Islamic General Hospital (RSUI Klaten). Using a qualitative descriptive approach through interviews, observations, and documentation, the study integrates field and library research to reveal how Sharia principles are translated into practical healthcare management. The findings show that the application of Maqasid Al-Sharia is not merely symbolic but has a measurable positive impact on service quality and patient welfare. For example, the implementation of hifz al-dīn (protection of religion) is realized through the availability of prayer facilities, halal nutrition, and spiritual counseling that enhance patients’ psychological and spiritual comfort. The principle of hifz al-nafs (protection of life) is reflected in the hospital’s patient safety centered policies and emergency response prioritization, while hifz al-māl (protection of wealth) is implemented through transparent financing and social support mechanisms using zakat and waqf funds. These initiatives collectively improve patient satisfaction, trust, and recovery outcomes, showing that Islamic ethical values can enhance both medical and moral dimensions of healthcare quality. The research also finds that the integration of Maqāṣid is an ongoing implementation process, meaning that it continues to be strengthened and expanded through staff training, Sharia governance, and digital innovation in service systems. This process reflects a continuous effort to institutionalize Islamic values within hospital operations. Overall, this study contributes to the discourse on Islamic healthcare management by providing empirical evidence that Maqasid Al-Sharia-based practices can serve as a transformative model for improving service quality and realizing comprehensive well-being (al-maṣlaḥah al-kulliyyah) in Sharia-compliant hospitals in Indonesia
Sa‘adah Haqiqiyyah: Solusi Filosofis al-Farabi Mengatasi Quarter Life Crisis dan Krisis Makna Generasi Muda
No full textAbstract: This study aims to examine the philosophical response to the phenomenon of quarter life crisis among young people through Al-Farabi’s thoughts on true happiness (sa‘adah haqiqiyyah). The quarter life crisis is analyzed as an existential crisis rooted in the trap of illusory happiness (sa‘adah majaziyyah), namely the pursuit of material success and external validation, exacerbated by digital pressures. This qualitative research uses a literature study method and a conceptual philosophical analysis approach to Al-Farabi’s works. The results show that the concept of sa‘adah haqiqiyyah offers a comprehensive solution by guiding individuals back to the highest goal (al-ghayah al-quswa) through the perfection of reason and morals. This solution is realized through two paths: The Theoretical Path (Al-Fikr al-Nazari) to achieve intellectual tranquility (ittisal) that overcomes confusion of meaning; and The Practical Path (Al-Fikr al-‘Amali) which requires the practice of four moral virtues and active participation in a virtuous social life (Madinah al-Fadilah) to overcome paralysis of action and inauthenticity. Theoretically, this study adds to the scientific knowledge about the relationship between quarter life crisis and Islamic philosophy. Due to methodological limitations (non-empirical), it is recommended that further research conduct empirical testing of the effectiveness of this concept as an Islamic counseling intervention. Keywords: Quarter Life Crisis, Al-Farabi, Happiness, and Sa’adah Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji respons filosofis terhadap fenomena quarter life crisis pada generasi muda melalui pemikiran al-Farabi tentang kebahagiaan sejati (sa‘adah haqiqiyyah). Quarter life crisis dianalisis sebagai krisis eksistensial yang berakar pada keterjebakan pada kebahagiaan semu (sa‘adah majaziyyah) yaitu pengejaran kesuksesan material dan validasi eksternal yang diperburuk oleh tekanan digital. Penelitian kualitatif ini menggunakan metode studi kepustakaan dan pendekatan analisis konseptual-filosofis terhadap karya-karya Al-Farabi. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa konsep sa‘adah haqiqiyyah menawarkan solusi komprehensif dengan menuntun individu kembali pada tujuan tertinggi (al-ghayah al-quswa) melalui penyempurnaan akal dan moral. Solusi ini diwujudkan melalui dua jalan: Jalan Teoretis (Al-Fikr al-Nazari) untuk mencapai ketenangan intelektual (ittisal) yang mengatasi kebingungan makna; dan Jalan Praktis (Al-Fikr al-‘Amali) yang menuntut pengamalan empat kebajikan moral dan partisipasi aktif dalam kehidupan sosial berbudi (Madinah al-Fadilah) untuk mengatasi kelumpuhan aksi dan inauthenticity. Secara teoritis, penelitian ini menambah khazanah keilmuan tentang hubungan antara quarter life crisis dan filsafat Islam. Karena keterbatasan metodologis (non-empiris), direkomendasikan penelitian selanjutnya melakukan pengujian empiris terhadap efektivitas konsep ini sebagai intervensi konseling Islam. Kata Kunci : Quarter Life Crisis, Al-Farabi, Kebahagiaan, dan Sa’adah
The Practice of Translanguaging Pedagogy Approach In EFL Classroom
Full text linkIn the last decade, the application of translanguaging in language teaching has attracted the attention of researchers and educational practitioners. Although many studies have explored the benefits of Translanguaging, a gap remains in the literature on how Translanguaging is effectively applied in the context of learning English as a foreign language (EFL) in Islamic higher Education. This study explores the practice of the translanguaging pedagogy approach in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classes at the English Education Department of IAIN Sultan Amai Gorontalo. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design, focusing on first-year students and English lecturers in the English Education Department at IAIN Sultan Amai Gorontalo. The participants included 25 students (six males and 19 females) and two English lecturers. The results revealed that translanguaging was frequently used by both lecturers and students across five observed sessions in various English courses, including Literal Inferential Reading, Speaking for Formal Interaction, and English Basic Grammar. A total of 300 translanguaging instances were recorded, with Insertion (24.67%), Intra-sentential (23%), and Inter-sentential (18.67%) being the most common types, followed by Entire (17.33%) and Congruent Lexicalization (16.33%). This helps improve their understanding of the material being taught and gives them greater confidence in learning the target language.Keywords: Translanguaging, Approach, EFL Classroo
Transforming Islamic Religious Education in Indonesia: A Socio-Historical Study from Pre-Independence to the Merdeka Curriculum
No full textThe transformation of the Islamic Religious Education curriculum in Indonesia has undergone significant changes from the pre-independence period to the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. This study aims to analyze the development of the PAI curriculum through a socio-historical approach. Data collection was carried out through documentary studies. A qualitative approach was used in this research to explore the curriculum change process influenced by various social and historical factors. The analysis was conducted using curriculum transformation theories and sociological approaches to education. The findings of this study indicate that the PAI curriculum has evolved in line with the social and political dynamics in Indonesia, starting from the colonial era, independence, to the reform era, culminating in the Merdeka Curriculum. Factors such as the roles of key figures, government policies, and global influences have played a part in shaping the direction of this curriculum policy. The findings of this research provide insights into how the transformation of the PAI curriculum in Indonesia supports the development of character and religious understanding among the younger generation
Reconciling Customary Debt and Islamic Economic Law: A Legal-Anthropological Study of Mappajalang Dowi' in Tolitoli, Indonesia
No full textThis article analyzes mappajalang dowi', a harvest-linked debt practice among Bugis farmers in Puse, Tolitoli, through a legal-anthropological lens that connects Islamic legal doctrine with community practice. Limited access to salaried employment and formal financial services sustains villagers' dependence on pre-harvest borrowing, with repayment due after the harvest season. Based on a qualitative case study employing observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, this research reconstructs the contractual structure of the practice, particularly ijab–kabul, mutual expectations, and the proportional ziyādah (increase) that may rise when repayment is delayed. A normative assessment grounded in classical Islamic jurisprudence covering benevolent lending (qardh al-hasan), gratuitous transactions (tabarru'), and unlawful gain (riba), as well as contemporary Indonesian Sharia economic regulations and fatwas, shows that the pre-agreed ziyādah converts the arrangement into a benefit-bearing loan and therefore constitutes indicators of riba. To maintain both Sharia compliance and rural social solidarity, the study proposes alternatives such as genuine benevolent lending with explicit anti-promise clauses, the use of sale-based contracts like salam and murābahah for agricultural inputs, and the establishment of community tabarru' funds. The study presents a context-sensitive framework for enhancing Islamic economic practices in agrarian smallholder contexts
Local Wisdom as Mechanism for Religious Pluralism: A Socio-Cultural Study of Banjarpanepen Village in Azyumardi Azra's Perspective
No full textReligious pluralism in multi-religious communities requires effective social mechanisms to maintain harmony. This study examines how local wisdom functions as an operational mechanism of religious pluralism in Banjarpanepen Village, a multi-religious community in Banyumas, Central Java, through Azyumardi Azra's socio-cultural perspective. This qualitative case study was conducted over four months in 2025 using semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and documentation. Informants were selected through purposive sampling representing diverse religious backgrounds (Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, and Belief Adherents), including religious leaders, customary elders, village officials, and active community members.

Local wisdom practices) including Grebeg Suran, Purnamaan, Nyadran, and Slametan (function as operational mechanisms that strengthen interfaith harmony, regulate social interactions, and build community solidarity. Religious leaders, customary elders, and village officials play complementary roles in maintaining harmony through both formal and informal networks. Banyumasan cultural values of nrimo and respect for others provide the ethical foundation for peaceful coexistence. Findings validate Azra's framework of moderation, cultural openness, and socio-religious networks, demonstrating that Nusantara Islam pluralism is not merely normative discourse but lived through adaptive and inclusive daily social practices, positioning village pluralism as a practical expression of institutionalized cultural harmony
Assessing the Impact of BPRS Financing on Farmer Empowerment and Food Security in Rural Indonesia
No full textIslamic Rural Banks (BPRS) hold strategic potential in enhancing food security through inclusive, partnership-based Islamic financing, especially in the agricultural sector, which is a key income source for rural communities. This study aims to analyze the impact of BPRS financing based on murabahah, musyarakah, and mudharabah contracts on farmer empowerment across food security dimensions, including food production, prices, consumption, and stability. A quantitative analysis was conducted using panel data from 154 BPRS sourced from the Financial Services Authority (OJK) covering Q1 2019 to Q4 2023. Static panel models, employing both fixed effects and random effects, were used to determine the best-fit models. The results show that murabahah financing significantly increases food prices (0.055%; p<0.01) and instability (0.070%; p<0.05), while reducing food production (−0.080%; p<0.05) and consumption (−0.574%; p<0.01), indicating its consumptive nature. Musyarakah financing raises food prices (0.021%; p<0.01) and instability (0.023%; p<0.05), but reduces production (−0.029%; p<0.05) and consumption (−0.115%; p<0.01), reflecting its limited productive role. Mudharabah financing significantly reduces food consumption (−0.163%; p<0.01) without significantly affecting production, prices, or stability, suggesting cash flow and business risks for farmers. Macroeconomic factors like regional economic growth (PDRB) reduce production (−0.079%; p<0.10) and instability (−0.187%; p<0.01) while increasing prices (0.018%; p<0.01). These findings underline the importance of reorienting BPRS financing toward more productive, partnership-based schemes for sustainable food security
Sharia Insurance Agents’ Strategies in Responding to Digital Transformation: a Study at PT. Prudential Sharia Life Assurance
No full textThe Indonesian sharia insurance industry faces significant challenges due to the phenomenon of creative destruction in the era of digital transformation. This study examines the strategies employed by agents of PT. Prudential Sharia Life Assurance, Binjai Branch, in addressing business changes triggered by digitalization, the decline in the number of policies issued, and fluctuations in premium income. The research method used the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) approach, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to agents. The results indicate that the public's low understanding of digital sharia insurance and agents' limited ability to utilize digital technology are the main obstacles to market penetration and customer education. The company's digital infrastructure, including the data management system and Pruforce digital platform, has not been optimally integrated, thus hampering effective service delivery. A digital strategy that emphasizes strengthening the role of agents as financial consultants and the use of digital platforms has positive potential to improve marketing and service effectiveness. The success of digital transformation depends heavily on the readiness of human resources who master technology and the principles of sharia insurance. Therefore, it is recommended to develop digital infrastructure, provide ongoing training for agents, educate the public about sharia insurance, and collaborate with digital platforms and social media to expand the market and maintain the company's competitiveness
Shaving Rituals and Religious Identity in the Malay World: A Study of the Hikayat Nabi Bercukur
No full textAbstract: This study aims to analyze the influence of the shaving ritual on the formation of the religious identity of the Malay community by referring to the text of the Hikayat Nabi Bercukur as the primary source. The shaving tradition in the Malay world not only functions as a social practice, but also contains spiritual values that strengthen the relationship between Islamic teachings and local customs. Using a quantitative-qualitative approach, this study tested several independent variables, namely exposure to the Hikayat Nabi Bercukur, the intensity of participation in the shaving ritual, and family norms and local traditions, against the dependent variable of the community's religious identity. The results show that the level of exposure to the Hikayat Nabi Bercukur and the intensity of involvement in the shaving ritual have a significant influence on the strengthening of individual and community religious identity. Meanwhile, family norms and cultural traditions play a role as reinforcing factors in maintaining the continuity of the practice amidst modernization and social change. These findings confirm that the shaving tradition is not merely a cultural heritage, but also a syncretic representation of Islamic values and the ethno-religious identity of the Malay community in the Indonesian archipelago. Key Words: The Story of the Prophet Shaving; Shaving tradition; Malay society; Religious identity; Cultural syncretism. Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh ritual bercukur terhadap pembentukan identitas keagamaan masyarakat Melayu dengan merujuk pada teks Hikayat Nabi Bercukur sebagai sumber utama. Tradisi bercukur di dunia Melayu tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai praktik sosial, tetapi juga mengandung nilai-nilai spiritual yang memperkuat hubungan antara ajaran Islam dan adat setempat. Melalui pendekatan kuantitatif-kualitatif, penelitian ini menguji beberapa variabel independen, yaitu paparan terhadap Hikayat Nabi Bercukur, intensitas partisipasi dalam ritual bercukur, dan norma keluarga serta tradisi lokal, terhadap variabel dependen berupa identitas keagamaan masyarakat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat paparan terhadap hikayat dan intensitas keterlibatan dalam ritual bercukur memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap penguatan identitas keagamaan individu dan komunitas. Sementara itu, norma keluarga dan tradisi kultural berperan sebagai faktor penguat dalam mempertahankan kontinuitas praktik tersebut di tengah modernisasi dan perubahan sosial. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa tradisi bercukur bukan sekadar warisan budaya, melainkan juga representasi sinkretik antara nilai-nilai Islam dan identitas etno-religius masyarakat Melayu di kepulauan Nusantara. Kata Kunci: Hikayat nabi bercukur; tradisi bercukur; Masyarakat Melayu; Identitas keagamaan; Sinkretisme budaya.
