I‘dilū Huwa Aqrab li al-Taqwā: Analisis Wacana Mufasirun Pada Surah al-Mā’idah [5] ayat 8 dalam Melestarikan Keharmonian Masyarakat: I'dilū Huwa Aqrab li al-Taqwā: Analysis of Quranic Exegetes’ Discourse on Surah al-Mā’idah [5] verse 8 in Preserving Community Harmony
Full text linkDiversity and plurality are inherent aspects of human nature determined by the divine will of Allah. Tribal and ethnic diversity allows people to get to know and understand each other's thoughts, culture, and customs instead of arguing and being divided. In the joint effort to develop a prosperous and harmonious country, conflicts should not be magnified but instead consistent in finding ways to strengthen and sustain unity among the people. The core of unity in the community should be based on the principle of social justice that the Quran initiated. Thus, this article critically analyses the discourse of Quranic exegetes on the phrase i'dilū huwa aqrab li al-taqwā in surah al-Mā'idah [5] verse 8, which is closely related to preserving the harmony of society. By using a qualitative method, this article finds the interpretation of al-Ṭabarī (838-923), al-Qurṭubī (1214-1272), Ibn Kathīr (1300-1373), and others who advise not to let feelings of hatred against a race become an incentive not to treat them fairly. Justice must always be practised towards everyone, whether friend or foe. Indeed, the fair attitude expressed is closer to piety. This predicate shows the pillars and principles of Islamic teachings. In conclusion, an attitude of tolerance that accepts the uniqueness of other races and appreciates the existing advantages is necessary for everyone, including all races, tribes, and groups. Only with unity will we be able to improve development towards a holistic balance in all aspects, including religion, politics, society, and economics
Electoral Fraud and Its Solutions from The Perspective of Islamic Politics in Yogyakarta: Penipuan Pilihan Raya dan Penyelesaiannya daripada Perspektif Politik Islam di Yogyakarta
Full text linkIssues of fraud, injustice, and dishonesty in validating my electoral data from village to capital levels are increasingly urgent. This phenomenon stems from intense competition and the pursuit of popularity, undermining the integrity of the electoral process. This study examines electoral fraud in the 2019 elections, focusing on data invalidity in Wirokerten, Banguntapan, Bantul, and Yogyakarta. The subjects include village heads, election committee members, potential voters, former 2019 voters, and local communities selected based on gender and specific criteria. This qualitative case study utilised direct interviews and field observations, with data analysis following the Miles and Huberman method: reduction, display, and verification. The findings reveal fraud and ambiguity due to poor communication, lack of supervision, and the absence of Information Technology (IT) in vote counting. Issues such as missing ballot boxes and absentee committee members due to illness were also identified. Approximately 80% of the problems in Yogyakarta were related to electoral disputes. The study proposes a 2024 electoral strategy rooted in Islamic political values, emphasising candidate collaboration, mutual support, and IT utilisation, as implemented by Muhammadiyah during its 48th Congress. This approach aims to ensure elections that are legitimate, transparent, and trustworthy, guided by Islamic principles.
Contribution: This study deepens the understanding of electoral fraud in Banguntapan, Yogyakarta, and offers strategies based on Islamic political values to enhance the legitimacy, trust, and transparency of elections in Indonesia
Model al-Falāḥ Usahawan Asnaf Berteraskan Sifat-Sifat Rasulullah SAW: Al-Falāḥ Entrepreneurship Model for the Asnaf Entrepreneurs Based on The Characteristics of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
Full text linkEntrepreneurship constitutes a vital element in economic development and national progress. This article discusses the key factors contributing to the success of asnaf entrepreneurs based on the characteristics of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Based on the literature, it is found that the characteristics of the Prophet can influence the success of asnaf entrepreneurs. This study focuses on how the characteristics of the Prophet manifest among asnaf entrepreneurs. In addition to conducting business and pursuing financial gains, Asnaf entrepreneurs are encouraged to uphold religious values in order to fulfil divine requirements, seek Allah’s approval, and attain blessings in their earnings. Asnaf entrepreneurs are encouraged to emulate the qualities of the Prophet, such as ṣiddīq, amānah, faṭānah, and tablīgh, in their business transactions. This research employs a qualitative approach, collecting data through a literature review and document analysis. The researcher finds that achieving al-Falāḥ (success) necessitates several crucial elements involved in the qualities of the Prophet to shape the personalities of asnaf entrepreneurs. Consequently, society should also support asnaf entrepreneurs in conducting their businesses, ensuring overall economic prosperity. Ultimately, exploring the development of Islamic personalities among successful asnaf entrepreneurs holds particular implications, especially in enhancing the Islamic model of asnaf entrepreneurship.
Contribution: This study has successfully added new knowledge and a wealth of scientific studies based on the attributes of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Especially the contribution to the new theory from the SAFT perspective of the Prophet in the context of asnaf entrepreneurship that contributes to Islamic civilisation
دور العصبية في أحداث الفتنة بقرطبة خلال القرن 5ه-11م: The role of fanaticism in the events of strife in Cordoba during the 5th century AH-11 AD
No full textشهدت الأندلس خلال القرن الخامس الهجري الحادي عشر الميلادي، أحداثا تاريخية أطلق عليها المؤرخون "الفتنة القرطبية"، و التي كان لها الأثر على مختلف الأصعدة السياسية و الاجتماعية خاصة بعد نهاية حكم العامريين سنة 399ه - 1009م، حيث دخلت الأندلس خلال هذه الفترة في صراعات مستمرة بين مختلف طبقات المجتمع، و إزداد هذا الصراع بشكل خطير في تهديد الإسلام و المسلمين، حيث نتج عنه تشكل جديد لخارطة بلاد الأندلس بين مختلف العناصر الفاعلة و انزواء مختلف اطياف المجتمع بمناطقهم بسبب الظروف السياسية التي أجبرتهم على ذلك ، و ظهرت بهذه السياسة و قائع و حروب بين مختلف هذه الطوائف العرقية، أدت إلى تكريس حالة اللأمن و اللإستقرار في الأرواح و الممتلكات لمختلف المجموعات السكانية فارتسم صراع عرقي بين الطوائف الأندلسية و البربرية و الصقلبية، تغذيه روح الإنتماء القبلي و التي أصبحت العامل الرئيسي في تحريك أحداث الفتنة و القائمة على تحديد العلاقة بين شرائح المجتمع الأندلسي في إطار عرقي قبلي.During the fifth century AH (eleventh century AD), Andalusia witnessed historical events that historians called the “Fitna of al-Andalus”, which had an impact on various political and social levels, especially after the end of the rule of the Amiriden in 399 AH-1009 AD. During this period, Andalusia entered into ongoing conflicts between different classes of society. Moreover, this conflict increased in a dangerous way, threatening Islam and Muslims. It resulted in a new formation of political features for the map of Andalusia, distributed among the various actors from the social groups within their areas due to the political conditions that forced them to do so—with this policy, incidents and wars emerged between the various ethnic groups, perpetuating a state of insecurity and instability in the lives and properties of the various population groups. Ethnic conflict has been established between the Andalusian, Barbarian, and Ṣaqālibah communities, fueled by the spirit of tribal affiliation, which has become the main factor in the movement of strife and the determination of the relationship between the segments of Andalusian society within a tribal framework. In this study, we follow the descriptive and analytical methods of the course of events to highlight the goal of the tribal dimension and its role in feeding the nervous conflict in Andalusia, which destroyed Islamic civilization
Interdisciplinary insights from Quranic exegesis to Islamic literatures: An introduction
Full text linkDoes Islam tolerate other religions? A Quranic perspective: Adakah Islam bertolak ansur dengan agama lain? Satu perspektif al-Quran
Full text linkThis paper discusses the Islamic tolerance of other faiths and belief systems. Islam also advocates tolerance of diversity. The conflict between religions can be avoided through tolerance; thus, harmony and unity between religions can be fostered in a pluralistic society. Therefore, the discussion of this article focuses on the Quranic view of practical tolerance to avoid conflicts which are a direct result of failure to appreciate the values of tolerance which underpin Islamic teachings. Using the documentation research method, this article found that problems or misunderstandings are common in all religions but their teachings, especially Islam, must be interpreted in ways that nurture unity and understanding between various cultures and religious communities. The implications of this study show that Allah has told his servant to be fair to Muslims and non-Muslims, no matter who they are or where they come from, and to let them practice their faith. Tolerance in the Quran is based on the belief that good is more vital than evil. Because of this, the Quran teaches its followers to always forgive, especially about other religions, to have a noble mind, a forgiving attitude, and humane values, and to accept the rights of others. Tolerating differences in Islam involves coming to terms with history, understanding, and differences between Islam and modernity, which must first come from within Islam
Badī‘ al-Zamān Sa‘īd Nursī’s approach through writing in da‘wah: A study of effective verbal communication: Pendekatan Badī‘ al-Zamān Sa‘īd Nursī melalui penulisan dalam dakwah: Kajian komunikasi lisan yang berkesan
Full text linkEffective da‘wah communication is veritably necessary in maintaining the well-being of the community so that it's always in a state of peace, tranquility, and harmony. The traditional medium of preaching, which previously only revolved around oral mediums such as lectures and speeches, needs to be improved with the method of delivery through writing. Badī‘ al-Zamān Sa‘īd Nursī used the pen as the medium of his preaching, resulting in the work Rasā’il al-Nūr, which spread throughout the world. Therefore, this study focuses on the study of Sa‘īd Nursī's form of communication while spreading and delivering da‘wah through jotting styles (bi al- kitābah), such as his masterpiece Rasā’il al-Nūr, letters, and newspapers. This study is a library study, and the analysis is based on the document analysis framework (contents analysis). While the book Rasā’il al-Nūr is the main basis of every topic of discussion and includes some scholars' views on da‘wah communication. The results of the study set up that, Sa‘īd Nursī's greatest da‘wah contribution was through the writing approach. The findings also set up that Sa‘īd Nursī's da‘wah experience in colorful stages of his life similar to politics, education, war, and so on, caused him to be loaded with preaching experience with colorful forms of communication, especially in jotting, until he was appointed as a contemporary preacher of the Islamic world
"سيّد قطب ومنهجه في التعامل مع الآيات المتعلقة بالسيرة النبوية: دراسة تحليلية في تفسيره "في ظلال القرآن: Sayyid Quṭb and His Methodology in Dealing with the Verses Related to Prophetic History: An Analytical Study in His Exegesis “Fī Ẓilāl al-Qur’ān”
No full textKnowing the method of a particular scholar in any book is important to understand his approach to dealing with any issue and to make his way to becoming the subject of attention and emulation by later researchers. This research discovers the methodology of Sayyid Quṭb, the dynamic preacher and leading exegete, regarding his dealing with the verses related to prophetic history through Fī Ẓilāl al-Qur’ān. This research deals with three aspects: interpreting the verses related to prophetic history, presenting the events, and extracting the highlights and lessons from the events. The researchers employed the descriptive method to explain the definition of Prophetic history and Sayyid Quṭb’s biography and the analytical method to extract Sayyid Quṭb’s methodology in his exegesis in dealing with verses related to Prophetic history. The study primarily showed that Sayyid Quṭb combined exegesis based on traditions (al-tafsīr bi al-ma’thūr) and opinions (al-tafsīr bi al-ra’y) in explaining the verses related to prophetic history. Sayyid Quṭb has two ways of presenting the events: detailed and overall views. Sayyid Quṭb’s presentation has three objectives: referring to the events as the reasons for the revelation of the verses, inferring events in the interpretation of the verses, and depicting the atmosphere in which the verses were revealed and reviving them. The most important Sayyid Quṭb’s trends in extracting highlights and lessons are employing Prophetic history for his dynamic methodology, clarifying the lessons in the Islamic faith, addressing facts and perceptions about Islam, and contextualizing Prophetic history’s highlights and lessons into current situations
Penulisan dan kajian berkaitan Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat (1931-2015): Analisis bibliometrik sepanjang tiga dasawarsa: Writings and studies related to Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat (1931-2015): Bibliometric analysis over three decades
Full text linkScholars play a significant role in a community so that they can form a knowledgeable, virtuous, and civilised society. The spread of Islam and intellectual interweaving from the Middle East had a positive impact until the emergence of authoritative scholars in the archipelago. Among the Nusantara scholars was Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat (TGNA), an influential scientist who played a major role in the fields of science, preaching, education, administration, and politics. His vast influence across so many fields has attracted the interest of many scholars to study his life and his legacy. This paper aims to identify writings and studies related to TGNA over three decades, from the 1980s to the 2000s. The methodology used was based on bibliometric analysis methods for writing and research, whether in the form of theses, dissertations, books, or scientific articles. These data were obtained from databases of scholarly articles and libraries, and the website of the Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat Institute of Thought (TPTG). The results found that studies and literature about TGNA have been written since the late 1980s and are still being written until now. Up to the time that the present study was conducted, a total of 131 writings and studies about TGNA had been presented in Malay and English, and published locally or abroad. The findings of this study can provide a general overview of the current writing and research trends about TGNA and the direction of future research related to it
Religiosity level and perceived social support for the psychological wellbeing of Muslim undergraduate nursing students: Tahap keagamaan dan persepsi terhadap sokongan sosial untuk kesejahteraan psikologi pelajar Muslim dalam bidang sarjana muda kejururawatan
Full text link
Nursing students are exposed to various difficulties, such as the need to meet academic and clinical expectations, distance from home, and financial constraints. In doing so, they may encounter unpleasant events that might affect their mental health. Mental wellbeing can be enhanced through religion and social support. In this study, the mental health, perceived social support, and religiosity of undergraduate nursing students were evaluated, and any correlations between these aspects were assessed. A cross-sectional study involving socio-demographic data, DASS-21 items, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and a self-rated religiosity scale was conducted among 255 Muslim undergraduate nursing students at a public Islamic university. The result showed that the nursing students had moderate levels of psychological wellbeing (Mean=23.41, SD=+/- 14.352), 83.0% of the students were very religious and sensed a high level of social support, while they had moderate levels of psychological wellbeing (Mean=23.41, SD=+/- 14.352). Levels of religiosity and perceived social support had a significant inverse relationship with the total DASS-21 (rs=0.195, p0.05; rs=0.248, p<0.05). This study demonstrates how protective characteristics - including religiosity, being a third-year student, and perceived parental support can affect mental health. This research may be expanded in future to investigate more protective factors for the population of interest because of the constraints of using a single study setting, the Islamic university
