Transformation of Children's Rights After Divorce Outside the Religious Court of Padangsidimpuan City in the Perspective of Maslahah
Get PDFDivorce is a problem that is quite complicated and very dilemmatic in people's lives. Although Law Number 1 of 1974 was promulgated and enforced 39 years ago, the reality is that the practice of divorce carried out by the husband is not in front of the Religious Court hearing. In Article 39 paragraph (1) of Law N0. 1 of 1974 states that divorce can only be done in front of a competent court after the court concerned has tried and cannot reconcile the two parties. To carry out a divorce, there must be enough reason, that between a man and a woman they will no longer be able to live in harmony as husband and wife. In fact, in the jurisdiction of the Religious Court of Padangsidimpuan City, there are still many who carry out divorces outside the Religious Court. This research method uses a juridical-normative method. The data sources used include primary legal materials, secondary legal materials and tertiary legal materials. After the data is collected, classified and processed, it will be compiled into a scientific paper. The results of this study show that the factors that cause divorce in the Padangsidimpuan City Religious Court are economic factors, community legal knowledge factors, juridical factors, sociological factors, and customary factors (kinship system dalihan na tolu). The mechanism of divorce is carried out by oral talaq, a written statement submitted to the wife, and secretly without anyone knowing it. As a result of the law that arises, the wife has difficulty getting a new marriage through the Religious Affairs Office (KUA), cannot claim living expenses through the Religious Court, it is difficult to get joint property and has a negative impact on the rights of the child who is the victim. Maslahah's view of the transformation of children's rights after divorce is prone to be ignored because the rights to alimony, education, health, and inheritance rights are not fulfilled. The obligation of parents as protectors and guides for children is good. Children do not receive complete affection from their father and mother
The Effectiveness of Implementing the Sorogan Method in Higher Education: A Case Study of the Department of Al-Qur'an and Tafsir Studies

Tawakkal Concept Theological, Sociological Perspective, and Psychology in the Qur’an
Get PDFThe concept of tawakkal in the Qur’an is often misunderstood as an attitude of surrender without effort, whereas essentially it reflects the integration of human endeavor and dependence on the will of God. Islamic Religious Education (PAI) as an instrument for forming religious character requires an in-depth study of this concept from various perspectives. This study aims to reveal the dimensions of tawakkal in the Qur’an through theological, sociological, and psychological approaches, and to answer the formulation of the problem of how is tawakkal in theological, sociological, and psychological perspectives? The research method used is library research with a qualitative descriptive approach. The main source of this study is the Qur’an, supported by literature on interpretation, Islamic psychology, sociology, and the thoughts of classical and contemporary Islamic figures such as Al-Ghazali, Fazlur Rahman, and Malik Badri. The results of the study show that theologically, tawakkal is a manifestation of monotheism and faith in the power of Allah which brings peace of mind. From a sociological perspective, tawakkal encourages collaboration, social responsibility, and building a resilient society. Meanwhile, from a psychological perspective, tawakkal becomes an effective spiritual coping strategy in improving mental health and emotional stability. The integration of these three perspectives enriches the development of a more holistic and contextual PAI curriculum. Tawakkal is not only a spiritual principle, but also a strategic solution in forming a strong, adaptive, and responsible Muslim personality amidst the challenges of modern life
Gratitude (shukr) and Benevolence (ihsān) to Parents in Tafsir Quraish Shihab: The Relevance of Qur'anic Values for Instant Cultural Generations
Get PDFThis study aims to examine the Qur’anic values of gratitude (shukr) and benevolence (ihsān) toward parents as interpreted by M. Quraish Shihab in his Tafsir al-Misbah, using a thematic exegesis (al-tafsīr al-mawḍū‘ī) approach.

By centering the interpretation of Quraish Shihab and contextualizing it within the sociocultural framework of the instant-gratification generation marked by individualism, speed, and emotional detachment. This study is a qualitative study based on library research using the thematic interpretation approach (al-tafsīr al-mawḍū‘ī). The main data were obtained from authoritative interpretation books that were selected purposively because they represent classical and contemporary styles. And applying data triangulation through comparative reading between interpretations and adjustments to empirical findings from sociological and nursing studies on the elderly. This study also adopts the perspective of Jean Watson's Human Caring Theory as an analytical complement to dialogue between Qur'anic values and ethical-spiritual approaches in care. This study explores the contemporary relevance of Qur’anic ethics in strengthening intergenerational ties and elderly care practices. The findings indicate that shukr and ihsān are not merely ethical acts but profound spiritual expressions of faith that must be revitalized in the lived experience of today’s youth. In the context of aging parents, care is viewed as a spiritual devotion that reflects emotional maturity, social responsibility, and personal righteousness. The study also integrates Jean Watson’s Human Caring theory to highlight the compatibility between Islamic spiritual values and holistic caregiving models in modern Muslim families

Mahzab Imams' Views on Breastfeeding Bank Law
Get PDFIn Islamic jurisprudence, there is a difference of opinion among scholars regarding the permissibility of selling breast milk (ASI). The Maliki and Shafi'i schools of thought allow it, while Abu Hanifah forbids it. The scholars who permit the sale argue that breast milk is pure and lawful to consume, so there is no prohibition against selling it. They liken it to the milk of animals, which is generally permissible to sell. On the other hand, Abu Hanifah prohibits the sale of breast milk based on the argument that babies require it, and its sale could lead to exploitation. He reasons that, just as human flesh is forbidden to eat, breast milk should be treated similarly, as it is intrinsically linked to the human body. His stance is based on the analogy (qiyas) that, since human flesh is haram (forbidden) to consume, anything associated with the human body, such as breast milk, should also be considered haram to sell
The story of the Bani Mughirah and Bani Amr as clear evidence of the impact of Riba in socio-economics (Analysis of Asbab al-Nuzul Verses about Riba)
Get PDFThe Qur'an, as the holy scripture, contains teachings for practicing Islam as a religion of rahmatan lil 'alamin (mercy for all worlds). One of these teachings is the prohibition of riba (usury), with the verses concerning riba being among the last legal verses revealed before the passing of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). These verses are often accompanied by Allah’s warnings. According to the asbab al-nuzul (circumstances of revelation) of Surah Al-Baqarah verses 278 and 279, it is narrated that the Bani Mughirah were significantly affected by riba, leading them to lament, "We are the most miserable people because of riba." On the other hand, Bani Amr felt they could live comfortably by exploiting riba. In Surah Al-Baqarah verse 275, the Qur'an describes those who engage in riba transactions as being akin to a staggering individual. The term "staggering" refers to the condition of those who engage in riba transactions pretending to stand firm when, in reality, they are unstable. The purpose of this study is to explore the concept of riba in the Qur'an and its impact on life by analyzing the asbab al-nuzul of the verses concerning riba. This research employs a descriptive-qualitative method aimed at understanding the concept of riba in the Qur'an and its implications for life. The findings of this study reveal that riba is one of the practices strongly condemned in the Qur'an. This is evident from the frequent association of riba with Allah’s warnings. These warnings are not without reason, as the practice of riba has significant detrimental effects, including moral, psychological, social, and economic harm, as highlighted in one of the narratives related to the asbab al-nuzul of the verses on riba
