Insider dan Outsider dalam Penerjemahan Al-Qur’an Di Jepang: Interaksi Otoritas Keagamaan dan Wacana Akademik
Full text linkIslam in Japan has developed as a minority religion through various channels, including migration, missionary efforts (da’wah), and academic engagement. One of the key aspects of this development is the translation of the Qur’an into Japanese. Two main categories of translators have played a significant role: Muslim insiders and non-Muslim outsiders. Outsider translators, such as Kenichi Sakamoto and Toshihiko Izutsu, adopted academic, linguistic, and political approaches in rendering the Qur’an, making their works widely appreciated in scholarly circles for their perceived objectivity and analytical rigor. In contrast, insider translators like Ryoichi Mita and Ko Nakata viewed translation as part of religious experience and da’wah, which led to greater acceptance within the local Muslim community. These differing approaches have shaped public reception: outsider translations are more commonly used in academic discourse, while insider versions are prevalent in religious practice. This study aims to analyze the methodological and ideological differences between these two groups in translating the Qur’an in Japan, and how each approach influences perceptions of Islam in Japanese society. Employing a qualitative literature-based method, the research examines various Qur’anic translations and community responses to them. The findings reveal that outsider translations contribute significantly to the intellectual understanding of Islam, while insider translations play a vital role in preserving the religious identity of Japan’s Muslim minority. Despite their differing orientations, both perspectives are crucial in shaping the image and understanding of Islam within contemporary Japanese society
Berjuang Ditengah Kesulitan: Potret Academic Well-being Mahasiswa Difabel di Perguruan Tinggi Inklusif
No full textBeing a student in higher education requires each individual to have the sensitivity to adapt and recognize the scope of lectures independently. The presence of several inclusive universities in Indonesia creates a sense of acceptance, especially for individuals with limitations in carrying out activities, especially lecture activities. It is undeniable that students with disabilities experience difficulties and obstacles and a different dynamic process from non-disabled students. The challenges and obstacles experienced by students with disabilities can affect the decrease in learning motivation so that it leads to learning fatigue both due to the lack of equitable distribution of supporting facilities for students with disabilities and the responsibilities and roles that must be carried out by students with disabilities. The purpose of this research is to find out the portrait of academic well-being of students with disabilities in inclusive universities. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive narrative design. The participants of this study were 3 students with disabilities using snowball sampling technique. Data collection conducted by researchers is using semi-structured interview techniques. The results found that the lack of equitable facilities in inclusive universities is one of the reasons students with disabilities still experience obstacles in undergoing lectures. However, this does not prevent the three participants from continuing to undergo lectures because each individual has positive academic well-being and has social support from the surrounding environment

Contribution of Intensity of Participation in Psychoeducational Group Guidance to Academic Emotions
Full text linkThis study aims to determine the contribution of the intensity of participation in psychoeducational group guidance to the academic emotions of students in Jember Islamic boarding schools. Academic emotions play an important role in determining the quality of students' learning, while psychoeducational group guidance provides space for students to recognize, express, and manage their emotions positively in the context of learning. This study uses a quantitative approach with a simple linear regression design. The population in this study were students who actively participated in group guidance activities in several Islamic boarding schools in Jember, with samples selected purposively. The instruments used were a questionnaire on the intensity of participation and an academic emotion scale that had been tested for validity and reliability. The results of the regression analysis showed that the intensity of participation in psychoeducational group guidance contributed significantly to students' academic emotions (p <0.05), with a contribution of 30% (R² = 0.30). This finding indicates that the more intense the participation of students in group guidance activities, the more positive the academic emotions they have. This study recommends that Islamic boarding schools integrate psychoeducational programs more systematically in student guidance activities

Pandangan Al-Qur’an Terhadap Hoaks Persepektif Tafsir Maqāṣidī (Studi Q.S. Al-Ḥujurāt: 6 dan al-Nūr: 15)
Full text linkThe phenomenon of hoax dissemination in the digital era has become a serious challenge with far-reaching impacts on social stability, political dynamics, and religious life among Muslim communities. The Qur’an, as the holy scripture of Islam, offers fundamental principles for responding to information, particularly through verses that emphasize verification and caution, such as Q.S. al-Ḥujurāt [49]:6 and Q.S. al-Nūr [24]:15. This study aims to analyze the content of these two verses using the maqāṣidī tafsir approach as developed by Abdul Mustaqim, in order to uncover the substantial and contextual values of Islamic law. This research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach based on literature review from primary and secondary authoritative tafsir sources. The findings reveal that these verses encompass core values of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, including: ḥifẓ al-nafs (protection of life), ḥifẓ al-‘aql (protection of intellect), ḥifẓ al-dīn (protection of religion), ḥifẓ al-dawlah (protection of the state), and ḥurriyyah al-mas’ūliyyah (responsible freedom). These values are not only normative but also practical in addressing the challenges of modern disinformation. Thus, the maqāṣidī approach presents a relevant and solution-oriented methodology for shaping ethical media engagement and fostering responsible Islamic digital literacy in contemporary society
Pedophiles Are Not Always Child-Molesters: A Literature Review on the Virtuous Pedophiles Community
No full textPedophiles, individuals who are sexually attracted to children, are regarded as child-molesters. This stigma incites hate and discrimination towards them, even those who have not and committed themselves to not harm children. Thus, understanding and challenging this stigma is important to help them. In this study, we explored the experience of members of Virtuous Pedophiles, an online support group and the preferred identity for pedophiles who are against sexual activity between adults and children. Narrative literature review and thematic analyses were conducted on Gary Gibson’s book titled Virtuous Pedophiles. Virtuous Pedophiles, unfortunately, encounter problems in their daily life, yet they choose to acknowledge and share their sexual orientation with loved ones. They also develop various strategies to protect themselves and children from any form of molestation. They build boundaries in interacting with children, avoid situations involving children, and use fantasy in the form of pornography and masturbation to satisfy their sexual needs without harming children. They hope the stigma on pedophiles is reduced and one day, they can live comfortably by receiving help and support from others and mental health practitioners. Despite acknowledging their sexual orientation, they are still experiencing difficulties in fully accepting themselves due to the stigmatization experienced from others and concerns about their own future. This also hinders them in reaching out for help from professional services to manage their overall wellbeing. As mental health practitioners, we are encouraged to focus more on their psychological distress and then devise strategies that might help improve their daily functioning

Gambaran Resiliensi pada Ibu Nifas Primipara Suku Timor dalam Tradisi Neno Bo'ha
No full textThis study aims to explore the resilience in Timorese postpartum mothers who live the Neno Bo'ha tradition, which is a custom that requires mothers to undergo a postpartum recovery period in ume k'bubu (round house). This tradition is believed to provide long-term benefits for the health of mothers and babies, but on the other hand it also brings considerable physical and psychological challenges. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, which allows to explore the subjective experience of postpartum mothers in depth. The participants in this study are the primipara postpartum mothers of the Timorese tribe who are undergoing the Neno Bo'ha period in a round house. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and participatory observations to understand their adaptation process and resilience in facing the challenges of living this tradition. The results of the study showed that the postpartum mothers of the Timor tribe had a very good level of resilience. This can be seen from their ability to manage emotions, control impulses, maintain optimism, and take advantage of social support from family and society. Compliance with customs is a major factor in their resilience, although these traditions provide physical discomfort, such as heat, smoke, and pain arising from certain rituals. Support from family and community also played an important role in shaping their resilience during Neno Bo'ha's time
