The Transformation of Betangas in Contemporary Malay Society: From Communal Rituals to Modern Care
Full text linkThis study examines betangas, a traditional Malay steam-bathing practice, as a dynamic cultural ritual undergoing transformation in contemporary society. Previous studies have largely approached betangas from descriptive ethnobotanical or functional perspectives, emphasizing plant knowledge, ritual stages, or symbolic meanings, while paying limited attention to its ongoing transformation within changing social structures. Addressing this gap, the present research analyzes betangas as a cultural practice that is continuously reconfigured in response to modernity, shifting bodily regimes, and changing knowledge authorities. Drawing on an ethnographic approach with historical and cultural perspectives, this study integrates literature analysis with field-based insights from Malay communities in South Sumatra to capture both continuity and change in practice. The findings reveal three interrelated patterns of transformation: the expansion of betangas from a pre-marital communal ritual into therapeutic, relaxation, and cosmetic practices; the shift from collective, family-based rituals to more individualized and service-oriented forms; and the reproduction of local ethnobotanical knowledge into scientific, educational, and commercial formats. These transformations reflect broader processes of rationalization, individualization, and commodification of traditional knowledge, while simultaneously generating new forms of legitimacy for betangas in contemporary health and lifestyle contexts. Rather than signaling cultural decline, the transformation of betangas demonstrates a process of reinterpretation and adaptation, where ritual meanings, bodily practices, and local knowledge are renegotiated within modern social, economic, and epistemic frameworks. This study contributes to debates on ritual change, the sociology of the body, and postcolonial discussions on the commodification of indigenous knowledge, highlighting how traditional body care practices persist through transformation rather than disappearance.

Abstrak. Penelitian ini mengkaji betangas, sebuah praktik mandi uap tradisional Melayu, sebagai ritual budaya yang dinamis dan terus mengalami transformasi dalam masyarakat kontemporer. Kajian-kajian sebelumnya cenderung menempatkan betangas dalam kerangka deskriptif etnobotani atau fungsional, dengan menekankan pengetahuan tumbuhan, tahapan ritual, atau makna simbolik, namun masih terbatas dalam membahas proses transformasi praktik ini dalam konteks perubahan struktur sosial. Menjawab celah tersebut, penelitian ini menganalisis betangas sebagai praktik budaya yang senantiasa direkonfigurasi seiring dengan modernitas, perubahan rezim tubuh, dan pergeseran otoritas pengetahuan. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan etnografis yang diperkaya perspektif historis dan kultural, penelitian ini memadukan kajian literatur dengan temuan lapangan pada komunitas Melayu di Sumatera Selatan untuk menangkap dinamika kesinambungan dan perubahan praktik betangas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tiga pola transformasi yang saling terkait, yaitu: perluasan fungsi betangas dari ritual komunal pra-nikah menjadi praktik terapeutik, relaksasi, dan kosmetik; pergeseran dari ritual kolektif berbasis keluarga menuju bentuk praktik yang lebih individual dan berbasis layanan; serta reproduksi pengetahuan etnobotani lokal ke dalam format ilmiah, edukatif, dan komersial. Transformasi ini mencerminkan proses rasionalisasi, individualisasi, dan komodifikasi pengetahuan tradisional, sekaligus membentuk sumber legitimasi baru bagi betangas dalam konteks kesehatan dan gaya hidup kontemporer. Alih-alih menunjukkan kemunduran budaya, transformasi betangas memperlihatkan proses reinterpretasi dan adaptasi, di mana makna ritual, praktik tubuh, dan pengetahuan lokal dinegosiasikan ulang dalam kerangka sosial, ekonomi, dan epistemik modern. Penelitian ini berkontribusi pada perdebatan tentang perubahan ritual, sosiologi tubuh, serta kajian poskolonial mengenai komodifikasi pengetahuan tradisional, dengan menegaskan bahwa praktik perawatan tubuh tradisional bertahan melalui transformasi, bukan melalui kepunahan
Perspective of Faith According to Sheikh H. Mukhtar in the Book of Al-Sholah
Full text linkSheikh H. Mukhtar was a prominent Muslim scholar from Kerinci whose religious thought influenced Islamic communities in Kerinci, Malaysia, and the surrounding regions. As a leading figure in Islamic daʿwah, he played an important role in strengthening religious life, particularly in the domain of faith . This study employs qualitative research using a library research approach complemented by field research to examine the religious thought of Sheikh H. Mukhtar and its influence on contemporary religious practices in Kerinci. The research results show in theological matters, K.H. Mukhtar emphasized the purification of Islamic belief from superstition, bidʿah, and shirk, while firmly grounding faith in the teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah. His understanding of iman, Islam, and tawḥid reflects the theological orientation of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jamāʿah, with a clear tendency toward the Ashʿari tradition. Faith, according to K.H. Mukhtar, is not merely inner belief but must be affirmed verbally and manifested through righteous practice in accordance with divine guidance and the attributes of Allah. This perspective demonstrates his contribution to shaping a balanced and orthodox understanding of Islamic faith within the Kerinci Muslim community.

Analysis of Miqat Mosque Management in Improving Service Quality for Indonesian Umrah Pilgrims
Full text linkThis study aims to analyze the management of Hudaibiyah Mosque, one of the main miqat locations frequently visited by Indonesian umrah pilgrims, particularly in relation to improving service quality. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, and data were collected through in-depth interviews with Indonesian pilgrims, muthawwif (pilgrim guides), and mosque staff. Data analysis employed interactive data analysis, comprising data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the capacity of key facilities such as toilets, ablution areas, changing rooms, resting areas, and bus parking remains insufficient given the increasing number of pilgrims, leading to long queues, overcrowding, and reduced worship comfort. Sanitation is suboptimal due to limited cleaning personnel, and informational signage in Indonesian and English is still lacking. Women’s facilities do not adequately support privacy needs, which affects comfort during preparation for ihram. Additionally, crowd management relies heavily on travel agencies’ scheduling rather than a strong independent management system. The study concludes that expanding facility capacity, increasing sanitation staff, providing multilingual signage, and improving women’s areas are essential steps toward enhancing service quality. These findings may serve as a basis for developing standardized miqat service guidelines and for future comparative studies across different miqat mosques.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis manajemen pengelolaan Masjid Hudaibiyah, salah satu lokasi miqat utama yang sering dikunjungi oleh jemaah umrah Indonesia, khususnya dalam kaitannya dengan peningkatan kualitas pelayanan. Pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif digunakan dalam penelitian ini, dengan pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam terhadap jemaah Indonesia, muthawwif (pembimbing ibadah), dan petugas masjid. Analisis data menggunakan model analisis interaktif yang meliputi reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kapasitas fasilitas utama seperti toilet, tempat wudu, ruang ganti, area istirahat, dan parkir bus masih belum memadai dibandingkan dengan peningkatan jumlah jemaah, yang menyebabkan antrean panjang, kepadatan, dan berkurangnya kenyamanan beribadah. Sanitasi dinilai belum optimal akibat keterbatasan petugas kebersihan, serta masih kurangnya papan petunjuk informasi (signage) dalam bahasa Indonesia dan Inggris. Fasilitas bagi jemaah perempuan juga belum memadai dalam mendukung kebutuhan privasi, yang berdampak pada kenyamanan saat persiapan ihram. Selain itu, manajemen keramaian masih sangat bergantung pada penjadwalan biro perjalanan dibandingkan sistem manajemen mandiri yang kuat dari pihak masjid. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa perluasan kapasitas fasilitas, penambahan petugas kebersihan, penyediaan informasi multibahasa, dan perbaikan area khusus perempuan merupakan langkah penting untuk meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan. Temuan ini dapat menjadi dasar dalam penyusunan pedoman standar pelayanan miqat serta untuk studi komparatif di masa depan pada masjid-masjid miqat lainnya
The Hajar Aswad Jockey Phenomenon: Ethical Analysis and Implications for Pilgrim Management
Full text linkThe phenomenon of Hajar Aswad jockeys, emerging from extreme overcrowding in the Grand Mosque, has triggered multidimensional polemics ranging from physical safety risks and social ethical dilemmas to disruptions in pilgrim management governance. This study aims to examine the Hajar Aswad jockey phenomenon in depth from the perspective of Islamic ethics and its implications for pilgrim management. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a phenomenological method. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with pilgrims, mutawwifs, and travel organizers, documentation observation, and literature study. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman model, comprising data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that although the practice is perceived as facilitating worship for some pilgrims, it potentially poses safety risks, disorder, and degradation of moral values in worship. From an Islamic ethics perspective, this practice contradicts maqashid al-shari’ah principles, particularly hifz al-nafs (preservation of life) and hifz al-din (preservation of religion). Other implications include the need for pilgrim education, mutawwif accompaniment, and strengthening regulations to ensure safe, ethical practices that uphold the spiritual values of Hajj and Umrah.
Fenomena joki Hajar Aswad yang muncul akibat kepadatan ekstrem di Masjidil Haram telah memicu polemik multidimensi, mulai dari risiko keselamatan fisik dan dilema etika sosial hingga gangguan terhadap tata kelola ketertiban jamaah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji fenomena joki Hajar Aswad secara mendalam dari perspektif etika Islam serta implikasinya terhadap manajemen jamaah. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan metode fenomenologi. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam dengan jamaah, mutawwif, dan penyelenggara perjalanan ibadah, observasi dokumentasi, serta studi literatur. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan model Miles dan Huberman yang meliputi reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun praktik joki dianggap mempermudah ibadah bagi sebagian jamaah, praktik ini berpotensi menimbulkan risiko keselamatan, ketidaktertiban, dan penurunan nilai moral ibadah. Dari perspektif etika Islam, praktik ini bertentangan dengan prinsip maqashid al-shari’ah, khususnya hifz al-nafs (menjaga jiwa) dan hifz al-din (menjaga kesucian ibadah). Implikasi lain termasuk perlunya edukasi jamaah, pendampingan mutawwif, serta penguatan regulasi dan sosialisasi agar praktik joki berlangsung aman, etis, dan tetap memperhatikan nilai spiritual ibadah haji dan umrah
Operationalizing Hadith in Digital Ta’aruf: A Living Hadith Study of TikTok @taarufmenikah
Full text linkThis study examines the function of hadith in digital ta’aruf practices facilitated by the TikTok account @taarufmenikah. Using a living hadith approach, the research analyzes 36 TikTok posts containing hadith or Qur’anic references and is supported by interviews with practitioners of online and offline ta’aruf conducted through snowball sampling. The findings indicate that the cited texts originate from authoritative sources with acceptable levels of authenticity but are presented in simplified and decontextualized forms adapted to TikTok’s short-video format. In this context, hadith functions as normative legitimization, motivational encouragement, pragmatic guidance, and interpretive simplification, while its authority is shaped less by traditional religious figures and more by platform visibility and repetition, reflecting a form of algorithmic authority. The study concludes that digital ta’aruf reshapes the relationship between religious texts, authority, and user practices, illustrating a contemporary form of living hadith in social media spaces.
Penelitian ini mengkaji fungsi hadis dalam praktik ta’aruf digital yang difasilitasi oleh akun TikTok @taarufmenikah. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan living hadis, penelitian ini menganalisis 36 unggahan TikTok yang memuat kutipan hadis atau ayat Al-Qur’an serta didukung oleh wawancara dengan praktisi ta’aruf daring dan luring yang dikumpulkan melalui teknik snowball sampling. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa teks-teks yang dikutip berasal dari sumber otoritatif dengan tingkat kesahihan yang dapat diterima, namun disajikan dalam bentuk yang disederhanakan dan terlepas dari konteks klasik agar sesuai dengan format video singkat TikTok. Dalam konteks ini, hadis berfungsi sebagai legitimasi normatif, penguatan motivasi, panduan pragmatis, dan penyederhanaan makna, sementara otoritasnya dibentuk tidak lagi oleh figur keagamaan tradisional, melainkan oleh visibilitas dan repetisi platform, yang mencerminkan bentuk algorithmic authority. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa praktik ta’aruf digital membentuk ulang relasi antara teks keagamaan, otoritas, dan praktik pengguna, serta merepresentasikan bentuk living hadis kontemporer di ruang media sosial
KNITTING EFFICIENT LEARNING BEHAVIOR: AN ISLAMIC EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY PERSPECTIVE
Full text linkThis study aims to comprehensively examine the concept of learning behavior from the perspective of Islamic educational psychology through the implementation of library research methods with a qualitative approach. Relevant data were analyzed using content analysis techniques on various literature sources, including scientific journal articles, theses, dissertations, and books related to the research topic. The data collection process involved a systematic search of leading electronic databases. This descriptive analytical study seeks to deeply explore and synthesize existing understandings of learning behavior within the framework of Islamic educational psychology. The findings of the analysis reveal that learning behavior in this perspective is not limited to cognitive aspects alone, but integrally includes spiritual, moral, and social dimensions that are in line with Islamic values. Efficiency in learning is influenced by internal factors (such as sincere intentions, spiritual intelligence, and intrinsic motivation) and external factors (including the learning environment, teaching methods applied, and social support). In addition, effective time management is also considered a crucial element in improving learning efficiency. Various learning approaches and methods in Islamic psychology are designed to achieve a holistic understanding of Islamic teachings and stimulate the development of critical thinking skills and spiritual dimensions in students
INTERNALIZATION OF ISLAMIC CHARACTER EDUCATION VALUES IN THE NOVEL ANAK KUAT BY TERE LIYE
Full text linkThis research is intended to explore and interpret the values of Islamic character education implied in the novel Anak Kuat by Tere Liye. This research is motivated by the decline of morals in the field of education as well as in the general public. Therefore, the role of education, especially character education, is very much needed to be constantly taught and instilled in social life. The novel titled Anak Kuat was chosen because it is one form of literary work that contains many moral messages and Islamic values that can shape the reader's character into a resilient and ethical individual. This study is a literature-based research (Library Research) that employs a descriptive qualitative approach as its analysis method. The object of study in this research is the novel Anak Kuat by Tere Liye, which tells the story of a child's struggle in facing various challenges, both physically and emotionally. This novel contains important character values such as honesty, hard work, independence, responsibility, and social concern, which are implicitly depicted through the journey of the main character in living their life, identified through the narration and dialogues between characters that reflect Islamic teachings in a contextual, applicable, and relevant manner to the realities of contemporary life, especially in shaping the character of the younger generation
The Inculturation of Religion and Culture in the Use of Trade Charms at Tanjung Bajure Market, Sungai Penuh City
Full text linkThis study examines the phenomenon of using Quranic verses as trade charms in Sungai Penuh City through the Living Qur'an approach, which highlights how the community interprets and applies sacred texts in the local economic context. This research employs a qualitative method with a phenomenological and reception approach to understand the meanings, beliefs, and perspectives of the community regarding this practice. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and literature studies. The findings indicate that the use of Quranic verses as trade charms stems from various motivations, ranging from the belief in blessings to efforts to attract customers. Community views on this practice are divided: some regard it as a legitimate effort as long as it aligns with Islamic teachings, while others see it as an abuse of sacred texts. The study also reveals a contestation between customary and religious authorities in assessing the legitimacy of this practice. This research aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the relationship between local traditions, Islamic values, and community economic practices. Additionally, it opens a space for theological reflection on the use of religious symbols in economic contexts.
Penelitian ini mengkaji fenomena penggunaan ayat-ayat al-Qur'an sebagai penglaris dagangan di Kota Sungai Penuh, dengan menyoroti praktik masyarakat dalam memaknai dan menerapkan ayat-ayat suci dalam konteks ekonomi lokal. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi dan resepsi untuk memahami makna, keyakinan, dan pandangan masyarakat terkait praktik tersebut. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan studi literatur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan ayat-ayat al-Qur'an sebagai penglaris memiliki latar belakang yang beragam, mulai dari keyakinan akan keberkahan hingga upaya menarik pelanggan. Pandangan masyarakat terhadap praktik ini terbagi menjadi dua: sebagian menganggapnya sebagai bentuk usaha yang sah selama tidak menyimpang dari ajaran Islam, sementara yang lain melihatnya sebagai bentuk penyalahgunaan ayat-ayat suci. Penelitian ini juga menemukan adanya kontestasi antara otoritas adat dan agama dalam menilai legitimasi praktik tersebut. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi dalam membangun pemahaman yang lebih mendalam mengenai hubungan antara tradisi lokal, nilai-nilai Islam, dan praktik ekonomi masyarakat. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga membuka ruang diskusi untuk refleksi teologis tentang penggunaan simbol-simbol agama dalam konteks ekonomi

THE INFLUENCE OF HADITH ABOUT THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF HUSBAND AND WIFE ON MUSLIM FAMILY HARMONY
Full text linkThis study aims to analyze the influence of the hadith about the rights and duties of husband and wife on the harmony of Muslim families. In Islam, the family is a fundamental institution based on love, affection, and responsibility. Hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad provide guidance on the rights and obligations of husband and wife to create a harmonious and balanced household. This study examines the extent to which the understanding and application of these traditions contribute to the quality of relationships in Muslim families. The approach used in this study is quantitative correlational, with the Stratified Random Sampling method in sampling from Muslim families in Jember. Data were collected through interviews, observation, documentation, and questionnaires measuring the level of hadith understanding and family harmony based on aspects of communication, husband's leadership, wife's role, and couple's emotional well-being. Data were analyzed by Pearson Product Moment correlation test using SPSS version 26.0 for Windows to measure the relationship between the variables of hadith comprehension (X) and family harmony (Y). The results showed that there is a significant positive relationship between the understanding of hadith about the rights and obligations of husband and wife and the level of Muslim family harmony. The higher the understanding and application of hadith in the household, the better the level of communication, conflict management, and psychological well-being in the family. This study confirms that Islamic teachings on the rights and obligations of husband and wife have relevance in building a harmonious and stable household life
