Quranic Epistemology of Abdullah Darraz on His Critic of Morality: A Study of the Book Dustūr al-Akhlāq fī Al-Qur’ān
Full text linkThis paper reveals descriptively the textual basis of Muhammad Abdullah Darraz’s thoughts as stated in his work Dustūr al-Akhlāq fī al-Qur’ān: Dirāsah Muqāranah li al-Akhlāq al-Nażāriyyāt fī al-Qur’ān. It aims to confirm the extent of the text analysis model used by Darraz in formulating the concept of Islamic morality. The researcher used a qualitative research type and a content analysis approach by tracing the interpretation of the verses of the Koran and the background to the criticism built by Darraz. This research makes Dustūr al-Akhlāq fī al-Qur’ān a material object and the critic of morality as a formal object. The fīndings are as follows: Fīrst, in his thought project, Darraz uses Qur’anic epistemology by indirectly using al-Ghazali’s maqāṣīd al-Qur’ān method. So, with this method, he succeeded in finding forms of commands in various pronunciations of the Qur’an to confīrm the Shari'ah of overall morality. Second, Darraz proved that Islamic morality differs from Western morality based on empiricism and is not value-free. This is preceded by constructive criticism of the existing Islamic treasures and their further development. On the other hand, it applies destructive criticism to Western views on morality. In short, Darraz's thought project is an anti-thesis effort to the conventional concept of morality that has developed by offering an original reference to understanding the Koran

Digital Pranks and Islamic Ethics: A Critical Discourse Study of Aa Gym and Hadith on Humor
Full text linkThe phenomenon of pranks on social media has developed into a form of entertainment that is fraught with ethical and moral issues, especially when carried out without considering the psychological impact on the victims. Although it often receives positive responses from netizens, this type of content essentially indicates a tolerance for symbolic violence in the digital space. This article analyzes Abdullah Gymnastiar’s (Aa Gym) critical response to prank practices from an Islamic ethical perspective, which was uploaded to Aa Gym’s YouTube account on May 9, 2022, entitled “Celakanya Prank yang Mendzolimi Orang Lain-kajian singkat Aa Gym”, with reference to the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad about joking, particularly in Sunan Abī Dāwūd. This study uses Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis approach through three stages: (1) text analysis as a representation of something that contains a certain ideology because it wants to see how reality is formed in the text to identify lexical, sentence structure, rhetorical style, and intonation; (2) discourse practice analysis to understand the context of the production and dissemination of the message in digital media, and (3) socio-cultural practice analysis to relate the findings to Islamic ethical norms and the dynamics of online humor culture. This study explores the construction of language, moral values, and religious norms in Aa Gym’s digital dakwah content and its implications for public understanding of ethical boundaries in online humor culture. The analysis reveals that Aa Gym emphasizes the importance of responsible humor that entertains without hurting or degrading others. This study underscores the importance of ethical reflection on digital humor practices and the need to reevaluate the boundaries of decency in jokes. Thus, this article contributes to the discourse on media ethics and contemporary da‘wah, while highlighting the relevance of Islamic norms in responding to the challenges of popular culture in the digital age
Shīʿa Literature in Indonesia: A Historical Account
Full text linkThis study aims to trace the development and characteristics of various shīʿa literature in Indonesia from a historical perspective. This study uses library research, which allows for integrative and connective tracing of various literature as the primary source of data, which is analyzed through a descriptive approach considering historical dimensions. The findings reveal that the existence and development of shīʿa literature in Indonesia are not merely a historical reflection of the diversity of Islamic sects, but also a manifestation of intellectual dynamics that continue to transform within local and global contexts. The shīʿa tradition, which the majority has long overshadowed, has played a vital role in shaping Islamic discourse in Indonesia through institutional contributions, such as educational foundations, publishing, and academic networks spread across various Islamic universities. Amidst stereotypes and narrative challenges, this development reflects an epistemological openness among Indonesian Muslims who are slowly beginning to recognize the importance of inter-sectarian interaction in building a more comprehensive Islamic intellectual horizon. However, limited access to shīʿa literary archives, the dominance of publishing biases, and the lack of representation in mainstream academic discourse serve as reminders that the process of scholarly integration still requires sustainable and inclusive strategies
Keaslian Hadis "Sultan adalah Bayangan Allah di Bumi" dan Popularitasnya dalam Sejarah Politik Islam
No full textThe authenticity and political interpretation of the ḥadīth al-sulṭān ẓillullāh fī al-arḍ remain contested within Islamic scholarship, particularly concerning its role in legitimizing monarchical authority. This study investigates the ḥadīth through isnād criticism, matn criticism, and historical contextualisation. Primary sources include Kitāb al-Sunnah by Ibn Abī ʿĀṣim, Tahdhīb al-Tahdhīb by Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī, Syuʿab al-Īmān by al-Bayhaqī, complemented by Kuntowijoyo’s historical methodology. The findings reveal that while some transmitters are problematic, the existence of multiple transmission chains elevates the ḥadīth to the status of ḥasan li-ghayrih. In terms of matn, its content corresponds to Qur’anic principles of justice (ʿadālah) and consultation (shūrā), framing leadership as a trust and a moral legitimacy for just rulers, rather than the sacralization of political authority. Historically, the circulation of this ḥadīth from the Umayyad and Abbasid periods to the Malay-Indonesian sultanates demonstrates its use as a political instrument to sustain authority. Theoretically, this study contributes to Islamic political thought by demonstrating that political aḥadīth function not only as normative-religious texts but also as mechanisms of legitimation and critique of power. Future research is recommended to employ comparative-historical and hermeneutical approaches to further contextualize the role of political ḥadīths in both classical Islamic governance and contemporary contexts.Abstrak. Hadis as-sulthanu zillullahi fil ardhi sering digunakan dalam wacana politik Islam untuk melegitimasi kekuasaan dan memberikan justifikasi teologis bagi pemerintahan teokratis. Namun, validitas hadis ini masih menjadi perdebatan di kalangan ulama hadis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kualitas sanad dan matan hadis ini dengan pendekatan kritik hadis dan mengkaji pengaruhnya dalam sejarah politik Islam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hadis ini memiliki kelemahan dalam sanad karena tidak bersambung (mursal) serta terdapat perawi yang tidak kredibel. Dari segi matan, hadis ini juga dianggap musykil karena bertentangan dengan prinsip-prinsip universal dalam Al-Qur'an dan hadis sahih. Meskipun hadis ini tergolong dha’if, ia tetap memiliki pengaruh besar dalam doktrin politik Sunni selama berabad-abad dan masih digunakan hingga saat ini. Oleh karena itu, kajian historis terhadap hadis ini perlu terus dikembangkan agar pemahaman yang lebih komprehensif dapat diperoleh dalam studi politik Islam.

Transforming Management of Islamic Educational Institutions in Indonesia: Concepts, Strategic Shifts, and Implementation Challenges
Full text linkslamic education plays a strategic role in building a civilization based on divine values, morality, and humanity. In the era of globalization and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Islamic educational institutions are required to undergo managerial transformation to remain relevant and competitive. This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical method to analyze the concepts, strategies, and implementation of contemporary Islamic education management transformation. Data were collected through library research and document analysis from various sources such as books, scholarly journals, and institutional reports, then analyzed through the stages of reduction, categorization, presentation, and conclusion drawing, with expert validation to ensure data credibility. The results show that the transformation of Islamic education management encompasses three main dimensions: governance reform based on the principles of good governance, strengthening human resource capacity oriented toward digital and pedagogical competencies, and integrating technology into administrative and learning systems. The strategies that can be applied include the digitalization of educational administration, the development of Islamic value-based leadership, and the integration of religious and modern sciences within the curriculum. Although several challenges exist, such as resistance to change, limited resources, and complex regulations, development opportunities arise through the utilization of digital technology and cross-institutional collaboration. Ultimately, the transformation of Islamic education management must be sustainable through a holistic approach that combines spirituality, professionalism, and innovation to produce an excellent, ethical, and adaptive generation. The implications of this research provide theoretical contributions to the development of Islamic education management concepts and practical recommendations for policymakers and institutional leaders in designing effective and future-oriented transformation strategies
Analyzing the Concept of Basyar as Human: A Semantic Study of The Qur’an
Full text linkThis study investigates the semantic implications of the term basyar as it pertains to the concept of humanity in the Qur’anic discourse. The research arises from the observation that the Qur’an employs a range of lexical choices to denote human beings, including nās, al-insān, basyar, banī ādam, al-insu, and al-marʾu, each carrying distinct contextual and conceptual connotations. The diversity of these terms reflects the Qur’an’s nuanced portrayal of human nature across different dimensions and circumstances. Focusing specifically on basyar, this study aims to delineate the unique aspects embedded within this term and how it informs the Islamic understanding of human identity. Methodologically, this is a qualitative literature-based study employing documentary analysis of primary sources such as the Qur’an and classical tafsīr works, including Tafsīr al-Qur’ān al-‘Aẓīm by Ibn Kathīr, Tafsīr al-Marāghī by Ahmad bin Musthafa al-Marāghī, Mafātīḥ al-Ghayb by Fakhruddīn al-Rāzī, and Rūḥ al-Maʿānī by Shihābuddīn al-Ālūsī, among others. The findings suggest that while the concept of basyar aligns closely with the general notion of humanity, it conveys an elevated understanding marked by specific virtues. The study identifies five defining characteristics of human beings within the basyar framework: (1) prophethood as a human function, (2) creation from earthly elements, (3) the cognitive and existential dimension of basyariah, (4) the social interaction between genders, and (5) the inevitability of death as part of divine ordinance.Artikel ini membahas tentang makna kata basyar dalam pengertian manusia dalam Al-Quran. Penelitian ini berangkat dari persoalan berbagai diksi (kata) yang digunakan dalam Al-Quran untuk menyebut manusia.

Penulis akan membahas manusia dalam konsep basyar untuk mendapatkan gambaran spesifik tentang konteks manusia seperti apa yang dimaksud. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kepustakaan dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Data dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan teknik dokumentasi dari Al-Quran dan dokumen-dokumen seperti buku-buku, artikel penelitian, dan publikasi lainnya. Penelitian ini mengambil data primer dari Al-Quran dan kitab-kitab tafsir, antara lain Tafsir Al-Quran al-'Aá¸him karya Ibnu Katsir, Tafsir Al-Maraghi karya Ahmad bin Musthafa Al-Maraghi, Tafsir MafÄtiḥu al-Ghaib karya Fakhruddin Ar-Razi, Tafsir Ruḥ al-ma'Äniy karya Shihabuddin as-Sayyid Mahmud Affandi Al-Alusi dan kitab-kitab tafsir lainnya. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa manusia dalam konsep basyar tidak jauh berbeda dengan manusia pada umumnya, hanya saja terdapat keutamaan-keutamaan yang menjadikan konsep ini lebih unggul dibandingkan dengan konsep-konsep manusia lainnya. Penelitian ini juga merumuskan beberapa ciri-ciri manusia dalam konsep basyar, antara lain: 1) Kenabian (akhlak yang mulia), 2) penciptaan manusia dari tanah (unsur-unsur jasmani), 3) hakikat bashariah (berpikir), 4) persinggungan laki-laki dan perempuan (hubungan sosial), dan 5) kematian (takdir Tuhan
Religious Moderation within Indonesian Diaspora in Australia’s Secular Society
Full text linkThis study investigates the concept and practice of religious moderation within the Indonesian diaspora community in Australia, with a focus on how members navigate religious identity in a Western, secular society. Grounded in the four pillars of religious moderation established by Indonesia’s Ministry of Religious Affairs—national commitment, tolerance, anti-violence, and accommodation of local cultural values—the research employs a hybrid methodology combining online and in-person interviews, as well as direct observation, drawing on the author's field experience in Sydney. The findings highlight three core dimensions. First, the practice of religious moderation is significantly shaped by diaspora organisations such as PCI Nahdlatul Ulama Australia-New Zealand, PCI Muhammadiyah Australia, the Iqro Foundation, and the Indonesian Diaspora Network (IDN), which promote inclusive religious practices and enhance community cohesion. Second, Australian public institutions play a vital role in fostering values such as religious freedom and pluralism, providing a supportive environment for the diaspora to sustain their cultural and religious identities. Third, the Indonesian diaspora demonstrates effective acculturation by preserving religious traditions while adapting to Australia’s multicultural landscape, despite ongoing challenges related to identity negotiation in a pluralistic context. The study concludes that the Indonesian diaspora in Sydney exemplifies a resilient model of religious moderation through inclusive engagement, institutional collaboration, and cultural adaptation, offering valuable insights for broader discussions on religion, migration, and pluralism in global settings.This study investigates the concept and practice of religious moderation within the Indonesian diaspora community in Australia, with a focus on how members navigate religious identity in a Western, secular society.
