Legal Review of Sharia Transactions in Modern Economics
In the era of rapid technological development and globalization, the modern economy presents new challenges in terms of transactions following sharia economic principles. Islam, as a timeless universal religion that regulates faith, sharia and morals comprehensively, exists as a guide for every Muslim in carrying out business transaction activities. Transaction comes from the English "transaction". Often in Arabic, it is called al-Mu'amalat. Thus transaction is another word for al-Mu'amalat. In the context of fiqh science, the science of fiqh that studies al-Mu'amalat is called fiqh al-Mu'amalat. Fiqh al-Mu'amalat in a certain sense covers a very broad field, for example law regarding transactions, sanctions, criminal penalties, guarantees, and other laws that regulate relationships between humans and organizations. Sharia economics also offers an approach based on Islamic principles, which include the principles of justice, transparency and sustainability

Photosynthesis in The Qur'an: A Comparative Study of The Interpretation of The Science of The Ministry of Religion of The Republic of Indonesia and The Interpretation of The Verses of Al-Kauniyah Fi Al-Qur'an Al-Karim By Zaghlul An-Najjar
This study explores the concept of photosynthesis as described in the Qur'an. The research examines verses that reference plant life, such as Surah Al-An’am: 99, and analyzes their relevance to the process of photosynthesis, which involves chlorophyll, sunlight, and the production of oxygen. Through a comparative approach, the study contrasts two interpretations: the Ministry of Religion’s Tafsir Ilmi, which combines traditional exegesis with scientific insights to highlight the symbiotic relationship between faith and science, and Zaghlul An-Najjar’s Tafsir Ayat Al-Kauniyah, which delves into specific scientific elements within the Qur'anic text. This study emphasizes how both interpretations seek to reconcile religious teachings with modern scientific understanding, providing readers with a multifaceted view of how photosynthesis is portrayed in Islamic scripture. It highlights key verses linking natural processes to divine creation, suggesting that scientific phenomena like photosynthesis are aligned with Islamic teachings on the interdependence between nature and spirituality. The findings underscore the Qur'an’s relevance to contemporary science and its potential to inspire deeper ecological awareness within the framework of religious belief
Analysis of the Meaning of the Word Bahr in the Qur’an: Toshihiko Izutsu's Semantic Perspective
This study aims to examine the concept of the word "sea" in the Qur'an using a semantic approach according to Toshihiko Izutsu. Izutsu's profound semantic theory is applied to analyze this concept in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the meaning contained in "the sea." This research employs a qualitative approach involving the analysis of the content of the Qur'an. Although the Arabic word "البحر" (al-bahr) literally means "sea," its meaning is expanded to encompass spiritual, philosophical, and symbolic aspects. In several surahs, the word "البحر" is mentioned sixty times. This study demonstrates that the sea not only plays an important role in human life but also serves as a symbol of goodness, mercy, and divine power in creating and managing the universe. The sea also represents values such as tawakkul (trust in God), gratitude, and perseverance in the face of life's trials and tribulations. The study finds that the concept of "the sea" in the Qur'an is both complex and encompasses many metaphysical and physical meanings. Toshihiko Izutsu's exegesis reveals the truth of the Qur'an and its impact on knowledge, particularly in the field of oceanography; his semantic approach aids in understanding the depth of the word's meaning and provides deeper insights to readers regarding this phenomenon
