Pemikiran Kritis Sadeq Jalal Al-Azm: Rekonstruksi Materialisme Historis atas Budaya dan Agama Arab Pasca 1967
The Naksa incident of June 5 1967 was an epistemic shock for the Arab world. The defeat of Israel that led to the loss of the Sinai, the Golan, and the West Bank not only destroyed the region, but also undermined collective faith in the Arab project of renewal, unity, and progress. In the midst of narratives that blame external factors or divine destiny, Sadeq Jalal al-Azm 1934–2016 comes with a sharp analysis based on historical materialism. This article examines the construction of al-Azm's thought through a qualitative literature study with primary sources: Self-Criticism after the Defeat 1968 and Critique of Religious Thought 1969. The results of the study show that al-Azm broke with the theological-fatalistic explanation for defeat and replaced it with a structural diagnosis. He highlighted cultural dogmatism, magic in understanding religion, and the failure of Nasser's revolution to reach the level of public consciousness. The nationalism-socialism project only changed the political-economic structure, but failed to overhaul the superstructure of thought. As a solution, al-Azm proposed Hukumah Madaniyyah or civil secularism as a prerequisite for democracy and sustainable progress. Different from Hassan Hanafi who built the "Islamic Left", al-Azm places religion as a relative historical-social phenomenon. This article positions al-Azm as a “critical mirror” that encourages honest dialogue between tradition, revelation, and modern rationality.

Paradigm Secular of Thought in Contemporary Siyasah Jurisprudence
This article discusses the paradigm of secular thought in contemporary Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh siyasah) by examining the dynamics of modern Islamic political thought, the position of the state as a domain of ijtihadiyah, and the evolving forms and models of secular thought. The background to this study is based on significant changes in Islamic political discourse, which are increasingly influenced by modernization, globalization, and interaction with Western political systems. In this context, a tendency has emerged among some Muslim thinkers to adopt a secular approach in understanding the relationship between religion and the state. This research uses a qualitative method with a library research approach, drawing on classical and contemporary literature related to Islamic jurisprudence and secularism. The analysis is conducted descriptively and analytically to identify the characteristics of the paradigm of contemporary Islamic political thought, explain the state as a domain of ijtihadiyah (intelligible text), and examine the forms and models of secular thought in Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh siyasah). The results indicate that contemporary Islamic political thought is dynamic and pluralistic, with a shift from a normative approach to a more contextual and rational one. State governance is understood as part of ijtihadiyah, thus allowing for various forms of government systems suited to the needs of society. Meanwhile, the secular paradigm in contemporary Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh siyasah) is characterized by a functional distinction between religion and the state, as well as an emphasis on universal values such as justice and the welfare of the people. This paradigm has developed into several models, including moderate, substantive, liberal, and integrative-contextual secularism. Thus, it can be concluded that the secular paradigm of thought in contemporary Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh siyasah) represents a form of intellectual adaptation to the challenges of the times, opening up space for renewal in Islamic political thought, while still generating debate regarding the boundaries between secular values and sharia principles.

Dari Moralitas Normatif menuju Emansipasi Sosial: Rekonstruksi Amar Ma‘ruf Nahi Munkar dalam Teologi Konseling Profetik
This article departs from the epistemological crisis in contemporary Islamic studies, which reveals a disconnection between religious texts and the social realities of modern society. The concept of amar ma‘ruf nahi munkar has generally been understood in normative, legalistic, and moralistic terms, functioning more as an instrument of social control than as a mechanism for humanistic and emancipatory social transformation. On the other hand, developments in critical social sciences and modern counseling approaches have not yet been adequately integrated into the paradigm of Islamic theology. The research gap lies in the limited studies that reconstruct amar ma‘ruf nahi munkar as a form of social counseling grounded in a theology of advocacy through a prophetic-emancipatory approach. This article employs the theoretical frameworks of prophetic theology, social hermeneutics, and emancipatory counseling theory to construct a new paradigm for the relationship between text and context in Islamic studies. This research is a qualitative library study using a critical hermeneutic approach and theological-social discourse analysis of primary and secondary sources in Islamic studies, philosophy, and social sciences. The article argues that amar ma‘ruf nahi munkar needs to be reconstructed from a paradigm of moral judgment into a paradigm of social assistance that is dialogical, participatory, and transformative. Through a prophetic-emancipatory counseling approach, religion functions not merely as a source of normative legitimacy, but also as a praxis of social liberation that restores human dignity.

Reartikulasi Amar Ma’ruf Nahi Munkar sebagai Konseling Sosial Emansipatoris: Fondasi Teologi Transformatif Anti-Penindasan
The Rearticulation of Amar Ma’ruf Nahi Munkar as Emancipatory Social Counseling: Toward a Transformative Anti-Oppression Theology. This article examines the rearticulation of amar ma’ruf nahi munkar as an emancipatory social counseling paradigm grounded in transformative anti-oppression theology. The study is motivated by the tendency to interpret amar ma’ruf nahi munkar primarily as an instrument of individual moral control, limiting its potential as a framework for addressing structural injustice and social oppression. The objective of this study is to analyze the concept of amar ma’ruf nahi munkar from the perspective of transformative Islamic theology and to formulate a prophetic-emancipatory counseling model that integrates theological, psychological, and sociological dimensions. This research employs a qualitative approach based on library research using a critical-hermeneutic method. Data sources include the Qur’an, Hadith, classical exegetical works, Sufi and Islamic philosophical literature, as well as contemporary academic publications relevant to the topic. The analysis is conducted through textual interpretation, contextual analysis, and conceptual reconstruction. The findings reveal that amar ma’ruf nahi munkar possesses significant potential as a mechanism of critical consciousness that encourages both personal transformation and social change. The integration of divine values, self-awareness, and collective action produces a prophetic-emancipatory counseling model characterized by dialogue, participation, and liberation-oriented transformation. The novelty of this article lies in repositioning amar ma’ruf nahi munkar from a normative moral doctrine into a social counseling framework capable of linking religious reflection, the internalization of prophetic values, and social transformation within the broader discourse of transformative anti-oppression theology.

Partisipasi Politik dan Kategorisasi Partai Politik
This study aims to examine the correlation between levels of public political engagement and the classification of political parties within a democratic framework. This study examines how the ideology, social base, and policy orientation of political parties can influence the level of citizens’ engagement in the political process. The methodology employed is qualitative, utilising a literature review that analyses various scientific sources, documents, and relevant literature to achieve a comprehensive understanding. The research findings indicate that political parties characterised by a clear ideological identity, a robust organisational structure, and openness to public aspirations are more likely to enhance citizens’ political engagement. Conversely, parties that lack transparency regarding their actions and fail to consistently fulfil their promises may erode public trust and participation. Furthermore, it was found that political education and access to information are key drivers in boosting public participation. This research enriches the field of political science, particularly regarding the strategic role of political parties in facilitating democratic participation. In practice, these findings can assist policymakers in formulating strategies to strengthen democracy by bolstering political parties and empowering the public in a sustainable manner.

Dinamika Pemikiran Ketatanegaraan dalam Fikih Siyasah Kontemporer
This article examines the dynamics of constitutional thought in contemporary Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh siyasah), focusing on the normative foundations of the Qur'an and Hadith, the position of revelation and reason in Islam, and Ibn Taymiyyah's construction of the relationship between religion and the state. This research employs a library research method with a descriptive-analytical approach. The findings indicate that Islamic constitutional thought is grounded in the principles of tawhid, justice, trust (amanah), consultation (shura), and leadership accountability. Revelation functions as the supreme source of authority, while reason serves as an instrument of ijtihad. Constitutional matters belong to the sphere of ijtihadiyah, open to dynamic thinking and contextualization. Ibn Taymiyyah's thought affirms the integral relationship between religion and state through the realistic and contextual concept of siyasah shar'iyyah, remaining relevant to contemporary constitutional discourse.

Rekontruksi Nilai Transendental sebagai Paradigma Konseling Profetik-Emansipatoris: Dari Normativitas ke Transformasi Sosial
The crisis of transcendental values in modern society reflects a tendency to reduce the spiritual-substantive dimension into formal symbolism lacking transformative social power. This condition reveals an imbalance between individual piety and social praxis, as well as the limitations of normative-doctrinal approaches in Islamic Studies, Theology, Philosophy, and Sufism. The research gap lies in the absence of an integrative model capable of operationalizing transcendental values as a methodological foundation for social transformation, particularly within a counseling framework. This study employs a qualitative-conceptual method based on literature review, critical analysis, and philosophical hermeneutics. It integrates the epistemology of transcendental values (tawhid, ihsan, tazkiyatun nafs) with the prophetic paradigm (humanization, liberation, transcendence) within an emancipatory counseling approach. The study argues that transcendental values must be reconstructed both epistemologically and methodologically to function as spiritual and moral capital for just social change. Furthermore, the reinterpretation of amar ma’ruf nahi munkar as a dialogical and transformative counseling process becomes key to bridging the gap between spirituality and social reality. This research contributes by proposing a prophetic-emancipatory counseling paradigm to strengthen social ethics in contemporary society.

Rekonstruksi Amar Ma’ruf Nahi Munkar sebagai Paradigma Konseling Profetik-Emansipatoris: Fondasi Teoretis Masyarakat Non-Kekerasan
This article departs from the escalating reality of violence in contemporary society, which manifests not only in physical forms but also in structural, symbolic, and digital dimensions that operate systemically and are often legitimized within social practices, including religious discourses. Although the concept of non-violence has been widely discussed across disciplines, existing approaches remain largely normative and have yet to provide an operational framework that integrates theological, psychological, and social dimensions. The research gap lies in the absence of a conceptual formulation that reconstructs amar ma’ruf nahi munkar as a transformative method capable of addressing the problem of violence in a holistic manner. This study employs an integrative theoretical approach that combines prophetic theology, critical social theory, and counseling psychology. The research method is qualitative with a philosophical-critical orientation, utilizing hermeneutic analysis of religious texts alongside critical discourse analysis of contemporary academic literature. This approach enables a contextual reinterpretation of Islamic normative concepts while critically engaging with the surrounding social realities. The main argument of this article asserts that amar ma’ruf nahi munkar should be reconstructed as a Prophetic-Emancipatory Counseling paradigm—namely, a dialogical, reflective, and transformative process aimed at fostering critical consciousness at both individual and collective levels in order to transform structures of violence. This paradigm integrates divine values (prophetic dimension), emancipatory awareness (critical liberation), and dialogical practice (counseling) into a coherent and operational framework.The scientific contribution of this article lies in the development of a novel conceptual paradigm that bridges spirituality, psychology, and social theory in the pursuit of a non-violent society. The novelty of this study resides in the reinterpretation of amar ma’ruf nahi munkar as an emancipatory and applicable form of social counseling, making it relevant for addressing the complexities of violence in modern society.

Dari Doktrin ke Emansipasi: Rekonstruksi Teologi Islam sebagai Paradigma Konseling Profetik-Transformatif
This article departs from a fundamental crisis in contemporary Islamic theology, characterized by a disconnect between normative-doctrinal constructs and transformative social practice. Although the discourses of Modern Theology, Liberation Theology, and Transformative Islamic Theology have developed, significant gaps remain in integrating the theological dimension with operational, practical approaches, particularly in the context of Islamic values-based social counseling. The primary research gap lies in the absence of a conceptual formulation that positions amar ma'ruf nahi munkar as a dialogical, emancipatory, and transformative counseling paradigm, rather than merely a prescriptive normative instrument.This article employs an integrative theoretical approach that combines the epistemology of revelation with critical social theory and prophetic ethics. The research method employed is qualitative-conceptual, using a literature review with critical and hermeneutic analysis. The article's primary argument is that reconstructing Islamic theology toward a prophetic-transformative counseling paradigm enables the transformation of the concept of amar ma'ruf nahi munkar into a social therapeutic process oriented toward critical awareness, empowerment, and structural change.This article's scholarly contribution lies in the development of a new paradigm of "Prophetic-Transformative Counseling Theology" that holistically integrates theological, psychosocial, and spiritual dimensions. Furthermore, this article offers a conceptual model that can serve as a foundation for the development of empirical research and community-based social intervention practices in contemporary Islamic studies.

Dari Self-Actualization ke Self-Transcendence: Kritik Humanistik atas Reduksi Nilai Transendental dan Rekonstruksi Spirit Transformasi Sosial dalam Perspektif Abraham Maslow dan Tasawuf
This article stems from the epistemological crisis in modern science, which tends to reduce transcendental values to an empirical-psychological framework, thus losing their ontological and axiological dimensions in human life. Although Abraham Maslow's thinking has shifted psychology's orientation from self-actualization to self-transcendence, contemporary studies indicate a research gap in the form of minimal conceptual integration between humanistic-existential psychology and the Sufi tradition, as well as the absence of an operational methodological model for applying transcendental values as a basis for social transformation.This article uses an I ntegrative theoretical approach between Maslow's humanistic-existential psychology and Sufi metaphysics, using qualitative research methods based on conceptual-philosophical analysis and critical hermeneutics of classical and contemporary texts. The main argument put forward is that transcendental values must be reconstructed as epistemic realities and existential practices that not only shape individual consciousness but also function as ethical energy in social transformation. This study offers a new framework, the Transcendental-Humanistic Sufism Framework, and the Experiential-Reflective Transcendental Praxis methodological model, which bridges spiritual experience, existential reflection, and social action. The article's scientific contribution lies in its effort to reposition transcendental values as the core of developing a humanistic and transformative science, opening new horizons for the integration of modern psychology and Sufism in a global scientific context.

Fiqh Syiah Syiah: Sejarah Awal, Perkembangan, dan Adaptasi dalam Modern Era
This article examines the development of Shi‘i political jurisprudence (fiqh siyasah) from its early emergence to its transformation in the modern era. The study highlights the historical roots of Shi‘i political thought, particularly its foundation in the doctrine of the Imamate, which distinguishes it from Sunni political theory. Using a qualitative literature-based approach, this research explores the evolution of Shi‘i political thought across the classical, medieval, and modern periods.The findings indicate that Shi‘i political jurisprudence has undergone significant transformation, particularly through the formulation of the doctrine of wilayat al-faqih, which integrates religious authority with modern state governance. Furthermore, this article compares Shi‘i and Sunni political jurisprudence, emphasizing differences in leadership legitimacy, authority structures, and adaptability to modern political systems.This study concludes that Shi‘i political jurisprudence demonstrates a dynamic capacity to adapt to contemporary political realities while maintaining its theological foundations.

Sekularisasi Pendidikan dan Marginalisasi Nilai Islam: Tantangan Pendidikan Islam di Era Modernisasi dan Globalisasi
Education is one of the most fundamental elements in shaping human civilization, character, morality, and spiritual awareness. In the Islamic perspective, education is not merely a process of transferring knowledge and developing intellectual abilities, but also a means of cultivating ethical values, spirituality, and noble character based on Islamic teachings. However, the rapid development of modernization, globalization, and technological advancement has significantly transformed the orientation of contemporary education. Modern educational systems tend to emphasize rationality, scientific progress, material achievement, and economic productivity while gradually reducing the role of religion and spirituality in the learning process. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as the secularization of education. The secularization of education has contributed to the marginalization of Islamic values within educational institutions and social life. Islamic teachings are often treated only as complementary subjects rather than as fundamental principles guiding educational objectives and human development. As a consequence, many educational institutions prioritize academic success and professional competence over moral and spiritual formation. This condition has led to various social and moral crises among students, including the decline of ethical behavior, the spread of materialistic and individualistic lifestyles, and the weakening of Islamic identity among younger generations. This article aims to analyze the phenomenon of educational secularization and its implications for the marginalization of Islamic values in modern education. The study also seeks to identify the major factors contributing to this phenomenon and to explore possible solutions for integrating Islamic values into contemporary educational systems. This research employs a library research approach using descriptive and analytical methods. Data were collected from various academic sources, including books, scientific journals, previous research, and scholarly publications related to Islamic education, secularization, modernization, and globalization. The findings of this study reveal that the secularization of education is strongly influenced by the dominance of Western educational paradigms, the dichotomy between religious and secular sciences, and the rapid expansion of global culture through digital media and technology. These factors have weakened the implementation of Islamic values in educational practices and contributed to the emergence of moral degradation and spiritual emptiness among students. Furthermore, the study shows that Islamic education faces significant challenges in maintaining its identity and relevance in the modern era. Therefore, this article emphasizes the importance of reconstructing an integrated educational system that harmonizes scientific knowledge with Islamic moral and spiritual values. The integration of religion and science is considered essential to produce individuals who are intellectually competent, morally responsible, spiritually aware, and socially constructive. In conclusion, Islamic education must not only adapt to the demands of modernity but also preserve its ethical and spiritual foundations in order to contribute positively to the development of a balanced and civilized society.

Rekonstruksi Teologi Kritis Berbasis Humanistik–Eksistensial: dari Krisis Normativitas Menuju Teologi Emansipatoris-Transformatif
The academic crisis in contemporary theological studies stems from the dominance of normative paradigms that tend to be scripturalistic, legalistic, and insufficiently responsive to the existential problems of modern humanity. As a result, theology experiences functional disorientation, failing to address crises of meaning, spiritual alienation, and the individual’s need for self-actualization. Although critical theology discourse has developed, there remains a research gap in the form of minimal systematic integration between theological approaches and humanistic–existential psychology, particularly in understanding religiosity as a lived experience. This study aims to reconstruct the paradigm of critical theology based on a humanistic–existential approach by referring to the theoretical framework of Abraham Maslow, especially the concepts of hierarchy of needs, self-actualization, and peak experience. The method employed is qualitative-conceptual research using an interdisciplinary approach that combines theological, philosophical, and psychological analysis through critical analysis techniques and hermeneutic synthesis. The main argument of this article asserts that theology needs to be repositioned from merely a system of normative doctrines toward an existential praxis that is humanizing, dialogical, and transformative. The integration of humanistic psychology enables theology to become more responsive to the inner dynamics of human beings and to function as a medium for the emancipation of spiritual consciousness. The scientific contribution of this research lies in the formulation of an emancipatory-transformative theological paradigm based on human existential experience, while also offering an integrative model between critical theology and humanistic–existential psychology that enriches the discourse of contemporary Islamic scholarship

Rekonstruksi Keadilan Sebagai Praksis Profetik-Emansipatoris: Kritik Atas Defisit Normativitas Dan Agenda Transformasi Sosial Dalam Studi Islam Kontemporer
Justice in contemporary Islamic studies faces an epistemic paradox: it is normatively rich yet practically impoverished. The discourse of justice remains trapped in textual articulations al-‘adl, al-qisṭ, and al-iḥsān while failing to respond to the realities of structural inequality, legal bias, and increasingly complex social fragmentation. A research gap emerges from the weak integration between Qur’anic concepts of justice, modern theories of social transformation, and the absence of an operational model capable of linking prophetic values with concrete social intervention. Existing literature remains fragmented: Sufism is separated from public ethics, amar ma‘rūf nahi munkar is reduced to moral advice, and counseling is treated merely as an individual practice rather than an emancipatory mechanism. This article employs a prophetic-emancipatory theoretical approach that integrates the epistemology of tawḥīd, Sufi ethics, and critical justice theory to reconstruct justice as a transformational praxis. The study adopts a qualitative-critical methodology through hermeneutical and discourse analysis, enabling the exploration of the relationship between revealed values, social structures, and contemporary dynamics of injustice. The central argument of this article asserts that justice can function transformatively only when actualized through prophetic-emancipatory counseling, a model of social counseling that positions amar ma‘rūf nahi munkar as a mechanism for diagnosis, critique, accompaniment, and community empowerment. Scientifically, the article contributes by offering a new theoretical model of prophetic justice that is integrative connecting spirituality, ethics, and social praxis and by expanding the domain of counseling in Islamic studies from the individual level to a structural-emancipatory framework. These findings are expected to serve as a conceptual foundation for future research and social justice movements inspired by prophetic values.

This study discusses the position and validity of ‘urf as one of the legal foundations in Islamic law. ‘Urf is a habit or tradition that develops continuously within society and is recognized as something good by reason and social norms. The purpose of this study is to explain the meaning of ‘urf, its types, and its role as a legal argument in determining Islamic law. The method used in this research is a literature study by collecting data from books, scientific journals, and related articles. The results show that ‘urf can be used as a legal basis as long as it does not contradict the Qur’an, hadith, and the principles of Islamic law. Islamic scholars from various schools of thought acknowledge the existence of ‘urf shahih as a valid legal consideration, especially in matters not explicitly regulated in the religious texts. The existence of ‘urf demonstrates that Islamic law is flexible and capable of adapting to social and cultural developments in society. Therefore, ‘urf has an important role in maintaining public benefit and making Islamic law relevant in different times and places.

Makna Fi’il Madhi dan Mudhari’ dalam Redaksi Al-Qur’an
This study aims to analyze the use of fi’il madhi and fi’il mudhari’ in the Qur'anic discourse along with their theological and rhetorical implications. In Arabic grammar, these two verb forms function not only as tense indicators but also carry profound dimensions of meaning according to the context of the verse. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a library research approach. The results indicate that fi’il madhi in the Qur'an is frequently used to emphasize certainty, even for future events guaranteed by Allah SWT. On the other hand, fi’il mudhari’ is utilized to denote continuity, renewal, and dynamic vivid description. A deep understanding of these verb form transitions is a crucial key in the science of tafsir to fully grasp moral, legal, and creedal messages. This analysis proves that every choice of diction in the Qur'an possesses linguistic precision that reinforces its linguistic miracle.

Analisis Tasybih, Isti‘arah, dan Majaz dalam Al-Qur’an serta Metode Pembelajarannya
This study examines the use of tasybih, isti‘arah, and majaz in the Qur’an as important elements of Arabic rhetoric (balaghah) that contribute to the beauty, clarity, and depth of Qur’anic language. The Qur’an, as the miracle of Prophet Muhammad SAW, contains numerous verses describing creation, including natural phenomena such as plants, humans, and the universe, which strengthen faith and awareness of Allah’s power. Using a qualitative library research approach, this study analyzes verses of the Qur’an containing rhetorical devices alongside relevant balaghah literature. The findings show that tasybih functions as an explicit comparison to clarify abstract meanings, isti‘arah conveys metaphorical meanings through borrowed expressions to strengthen messages, and majaz expands meaning beyond literal interpretation while maintaining contextual relevance. These rhetorical styles not only enhance linguistic aesthetics but also serve moral, spiritual, and communicative purposes. Furthermore, understanding these forms is essential in Qur’anic interpretation, as many verses cannot be fully understood through literal meaning alone. Therefore, mastery of balaghah is crucial for appreciating the miraculous language of the Qur’an and for gaining a deeper, more contextual understanding of its teachings.

Konsep Ta’dib sebagai Landasan Filosofis Pendidikan Islam
This study aims to examine the concept of ta'dib as a philosophical foundation in Islamic education and its importance in addressing today's educational challenges. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach through a literature review of various relevant references. The results show that ta'dib places adab (ethics) at the center of education in shaping the whole person, encompassing intellectual, moral, spiritual, and social aspects. Unlike ta'lim (Islamic study), which focuses on the transmission of knowledge, and tarbiyah (Islamic education), which emphasizes the development of potential, ta'dib is more directed at the formation of morals and a sense of responsibility towards knowledge. In the era of globalization, ta'dib plays a crucial role in addressing the decline in students' morals. Its implementation is carried out through role models, habituation, the integration of adab values ​​into learning, and collaboration across various educational environments. Thus, ta'dib is an effective approach in shaping a generation that is both knowledgeable and character-driven.

Rekontruksi Teologi Islam Transformatif: Integrasi Tauhid dan Humanistik-Eksistensial sebagai Kritik Aatas Krisis Epistemologis Teologi Kontemporer
The epistemological crisis in contemporary Islamic theology is marked by a disconnect between the normative-doctrinal dimension and the existential experience of modern humans, causing theology to lose its transformative power in addressing the crises of meaning, alienation, and spiritual disorientation. Although various studies have sought to contextualize theology, most remain trapped in a descriptive-historical approach and have not yet addressed the integration between the transcendental and psychological dimensions of humanity. The research gap lies in the absence of a systematic conceptual formulation for integrating Islam-based theology rooted in tawhid with a humanistic-existential psychological approach, particularly the thought of Carl Rogers, which emphasizes subjective experience, self-awareness, and human actualization. This study aims to formulate a paradigm of transformative Islamic theology through the integration of tawhid as an ontological foundation with a humanistic-existential approach as a framework for subjective experience. The theoretical approach employed is interdisciplinary, combining Islamic theology, existential philosophy, and humanistic psychology. The research method employs a qualitative-conceptual approach with philosophical-critical and hermeneutic analysis of classical and contemporary literature. The main argument of this study is that Islamic theology will only be relevant if reconstructed as a living existential consciousness (living theology), not merely as a normative doctrine. The integration of tawhid and the humanistic approach yields a model of transformative theology capable of bridging the relationship between God and humanity in concrete experience. The scientific contribution of this study lies in the development of a new paradigm of Islamic theology that is integrative, existential, and transformative, while enriching interdisciplinary research in contemporary Islamic studies.

Dari Monolog Tafsir ke Praxis Makna: Hermeneutika Eksistensial sebagai Kritik atas Krisis Keberpihakan dalam Studi Teks Keagamaan
This article departs from the epistemological and existential crisis in the study of religious texts, characterized by the dominance of interpretive monologues, the freezing of meaning, and the absence of ethical alignment with social reality. In this context, texts are often reduced to normative instruments detached from the dynamics of modern human suffering, thus failing to function as a living source of meaning. The research gap lies in the minimal integration between textual hermeneutics, the theology of alignments, and existential psychology approaches, which have developed separately without adequate conceptual synthesis. This article aims to reconstruct textual dialogue through an existential hermeneutic framework by integrating the theology of alignments with Viktor Frankl's thoughts on the will to meaning and the crisis of meaning (existential vacuum). This research uses a qualitative-philosophical approach based on literature review with hermeneutic-critical and interdisciplinary analysis. The article's main argument is that textual dialogue must be repositioned from a normative interpretative practice to an existential and alignmental praxis of meaning, by positioning the interpreter as an ethically responsible subject seeking meaning. Thus, the text is not only understood as a source of law, but as a liberating space for the transformation of meaning. This article's scholarly contribution is the formulation of an "existential-prophetic hermeneutics" model as a new theoretical framework that integrates the dimensions of meaning, partisanship, and praxis in contemporary Islamic studies. This model is expected to enrich the development of Islamic hermeneutics and bridge the crisis of meaning in modern religiosity.

Dari Legal-Formal ke Etika Transformatif: Reposisi Keadilan melalui Tazkiyatun Nafs Berbasis Tauhid Emansipatoris
Krisis keadilan dalam masyarakat kontemporer menunjukkan ketegangan antara konstruksi normatif keadilan dalam Islam dan realitas sosial yang sarat ketimpangan struktural. Dominasi paradigma legal-formal telah mereduksi keadilan menjadi prosedur hukum, sehingga mengabaikan dimensi etis dan spiritual sebagai fondasi transformasi sosial. Kesenjangan penelitian terletak pada belum adanya model konseptual yang mengintegrasikan tazkiyatun nafs dengan teori keadilan sosial secara sistematis, karena studi sebelumnya cenderung memisahkan tasawuf sebagai praktik individual dari agenda perubahan sosial. Artikel ini menggunakan pendekatan teoritis integratif yang menggabungkan tasawuf, teologi tauhid, dan filsafat sosial kritis untuk mereposisi keadilan sebagai etika transformatif. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif konseptual berbasis studi kepustakaan dengan analisis hermeneutik dan kritis terhadap sumber klasik dan literatur kontemporer bereputasi. Argumen utama artikel ini menegaskan bahwa keadilan substantif hanya dapat diwujudkan melalui transformasi kesadaran manusia yang berakar pada purifikasi diri (tazkiyatun nafs) dan internalisasi tauhid sebagai prinsip emansipatoris. Kontribusi ilmiah penelitian ini terletak pada pengembangan paradigma integratif yang menghubungkan dimensi spiritual dan struktural dalam satu kerangka konseptual yang koheren. Kebaruan penelitian ini adalah reinterpretasi tazkiyatun nafs sebagai metode transformatif yang tidak hanya membentuk individu saleh, tetapi juga mendorong perubahan sosial yang berkeadilan.

Inovasi dalam Manajemen Sumber Daya Pendidikan Islamuntuk Menjawab Tantangan Globalisasi
Islamic education in Indonesia faces increasingly complex challenges of globalization, including technological disruption, global human resource competition, and demands for the integration of Islamic values ​​with scientific advancements. This paper examines innovations in Islamic education resource management (SDPI) as an adaptive strategy to address these dynamics. Through a qualitative literature study approach with thematic content analysis, this study identifies SDPI management innovation concepts based on the maqasid sharia and digital transformation. The results indicate that key innovations include human resource development through technology-based continuous professional development, an integrative curriculum that eliminates the dichotomy between religious and general knowledge, and optimization of digital infrastructure. In the Indonesian context, particularly in Central Kalimantan, infrastructure challenges and the digital divide remain dominant, despite an increase in madrasah student access reaching 93,078 by 2025. The proposed innovation includes the “SIEM-MaqaTech” (Sustainable Islamic Education Management based on Maqasid and Technology) model that integrates spiritual values, 21st-century competencies, and multi-stakeholder collaboration. This research contributes controversially by enriching the contemporary Islamic education management framework and providing practical policy recommendations for madrasah administrators and local governments. Thus, Islamic education can remain relevant, competitive, and characterized by rahmatan lil 'alamin (blessing for the universe) in the era of globalization.

Problematika Mutu Madrasah dan Implementasi Total Quality Management dalam Pendidikan Islam: Studi Pustaka
Mutu pendidikan madrasah masih menghadapi tantangan yang bersifat multidimensional, meliputi aspek pengelolaan lembaga, kompetensi sumber daya manusia, budaya mutu, serta kualitas layanan pendidikan. Kondisi tersebut menunjukkan perlunya pendekatan manajemen yang sistematis dan berkelanjutan. Total Quality Management (TQM) dipandang sebagai salah satu konsep yang relevan karena menekankan perbaikan mutu secara menyeluruh dan berkesinambungan dalam seluruh komponen organisasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji problematika mutu madrasah serta menganalisis relevansi penerapan TQM dalam konteks pendidikan Islam. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi kepustakaan dengan menelaah berbagai sumber ilmiah yang berkaitan dengan mutu pendidikan dan manajemen kualitas. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa persoalan mutu madrasah umumnya berkaitan dengan perencanaan yang belum optimal, peningkatan kompetensi pendidik yang masih diperlukan, keterbatasan sarana prasarana, serta belum kuatnya budaya mutu. Implementasi prinsip TQM melalui perbaikan berkelanjutan, kepemimpinan visioner, partisipasi seluruh warga madrasah, dan orientasi pada kepuasan pemangku kepentingan berpotensi menjadi strategi konseptual dalam meningkatkan mutu madrasah secara terarah dan selaras dengan nilai-nilai pendidikan Islam

Yahudi dalam Al-Qur’an dan Relevansinya Terhadap Konflik Palestina: Analisis Tematik dan Historis
This study examines the Qur’anic portrayal of the Jews (Bani Israil) and its relevance to the Palestine–Israel conflict. The research aims to analyze Qur’anic verses concerning Bani Israil through a thematic (maudhu‘i) tafsir approach and to relate them to the historical dynamics of the Palestine–Israel conflict. This study employs a qualitative methodology using thematic and historical-critical approaches, with the Qur’an as the primary source, supported by classical and medieval Qur’anic exegesis as well as modern historical studies. The findings indicate that the Qur’anic critique of Bani Israil is behavioral and moral in nature rather than an ethnic generalization, and that it bears relevance to the practices of Zionist ideology in the context of occupation and oppression of the Palestinian people.

Perbandingan Metode Tafsir Ulama Asia Tenggara dan Timur Tengah dalam Isu Sosial Politik, Feminisme, dan Ekologi
The development of Qur'anic interpretation in the contemporary era shows a tendency to be increasingly responsive to current issues such as socio-political issues, feminism, and the ecological crisis. This article aims to analyze and compare the exegetical methodologies developed by Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern scholars over the past five years. Using a library study approach in reputable scientific journals, this study finds that Southeast Asian scholars tend to prioritize sociological contextual interpretations rooted in local realities, while Middle Eastern scholars emphasize the maqāṣid al sharī‘ah approach and critical hermeneutics. These differences demonstrate the epistemological diversity of contemporary exegesis and open up space for methodological dialogue between regions.

Pemikiran Ekonomi Islam Abu Yusuf dan Relevansinya dalam Konteks Kontemporer
Abu Yusuf (113–182 H/731–798 M) merupakan salah satu tokoh utama dalam perkembangan pemikiran ekonomi Islam klasik yang kontribusinya masih relevan hingga saat ini. Sebagai murid utama Abu Hanifah dan Qadhi al-Qudhat pada masa Dinasti Abbasiyah, Abu Yusuf banyak membahas persoalan ekonomi publik, khususnya terkait kebijakan fiskal, perpajakan, pengelolaan keuangan negara, dan keadilan distribusi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis konsep-konsep ekonomi Islam menurut Abu Yusuf dengan menitikberatkan pada pandangannya mengenai pajak (kharaj), peran negara dalam perekonomian, serta prinsip keadilan dan kemaslahatan dalam pengelolaan sumber daya. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah studi kepustakaan (library research) dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif melalui analisis terhadap karya utama Abu Yusuf Kitab al-Kharaj serta literatur pendukung dari jurnal dan buku ilmiah kontemporer. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemikiran ekonomi Abu Yusuf menekankan pentingnya peran negara sebagai pengelola yang amanah, penetapan pajak yang adil dan proporsional, serta perlindungan terhadap hak-hak masyarakat guna mendorong kesejahteraan dan stabilitas ekonomi. Pemikiran Abu Yusuf tidak hanya mencerminkan nilai-nilai normatif Islam, tetapi juga menawarkan kerangka kebijakan ekonomi yang rasional dan aplikatif bagi sistem ekonomi modern.

Pemikiran Ekonomi Islam Umar bin Khattab dan Relevansinya terhadap Kebijakan Ekonomi Kontemporer
Islamic economic thought plays an important role in shaping an economic system based on the values of justice, balance, and social welfare. In Islamic history, the period of the Khulafā’ al-Rāshidīn represents the early formation of economic policies derived from Islamic principles, particularly during the leadership of Umar ibn Khattab. Umar ibn Khattab is widely recognized as a leader who placed great emphasis on state economic management and public welfare. This study aims to analyze the Islamic economic thought of Umar ibn Khattab and its relevance to contemporary economic policies. The research employs a qualitative method with a library research approach through the examination of classical and contemporary literature. The findings indicate that Umar ibn Khattab’s economic thought encompasses transparent and accountable management of the baitul mal, equitable fiscal policies, protection of vulnerable groups, and the active role of the state in maintaining market stability and justice. These principles are in line with the objectives of Islamic law (maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah) and demonstrate strong relevance in addressing modern economic policy challenges, particularly in achieving social justice, equitable wealth distribution, and sustainable economic development.

Analisis Kesalahan Menulis Bahasa Arab Pada Pembelajaran Imla Murid Kelas 2 Ula Madrasah Diniyah Darussalam Padar Kesamben Ngoro Jombang
The purpose of this study was to analyze Arabic writing errors, analyze the learning of dictation (imla'), and determine how teachers evaluate Arabic writing errors in Grade 2 Ula students at Madrasah Diniyah Darussalam Padar Kesamben Ngoro Jombang. This research used a descriptive qualitative research method, analyzing through a documentary study approach. The data collection techniques used were interviews, observation, and documentation. In the implementation, the teacher wrote the material on the board, explained it, conducted a question and answer session, then dictated simple vocabulary words that were repeated three times before the students wrote them in their notebooks. The teacher evaluated Arabic writing errors by collecting error data, identifying errors, classifying errors, and correcting student errors to provide appropriate guidance. The results showed that many students still made errors, such as errors in connecting letters, letter usage, letter length, and letter omissions and additions. Errors in writing Arabic among second-grade Ula students at Madrasah Diniyah Darussalam Padar Kesamben Ngoro Jombang are caused by a lack of mastery of basic Arabic writing skills, limited learning media, and the use of traditional teaching methods. The imla’ learning process is carried out through the dictation method, beginning with the teacher writing and explaining the material on the board, then dictating simple Arabic vocabulary three times for students to write down. Evaluation is conducted by collecting, identifying, classifying, and correcting students’ mistakes, and the results show that many students still make errors in writing Arabic. This evaluation also serves as a reference for teachers to understand students’ writing abilities and their comprehension of the material taught.

Dari Akidah Menuju Akhlak: Analisis Semantik Kata "Iman" dalam Al-Qur'an dan Manifestasinya dalam Perilaku
This study examines the organic relationship between the concept of creed (īmān) and morality (akhlāq) in the Qur'an through a semantic analysis approach. The aim is to dissect the lexical meaning and semantic field of the word "īmān" and its derivatives, and to trace how this concept is imperatively manifested in the domain of behavior. Using the thematic interpretation (tafsīr maudhū’ī) method combined with Toshihiko Izutsu's semantic framework, this research analyzes all occurrences of the root word a-m-n-a in the Qur'an. The results show that "īmān" from the Qur'anic perspective is not a static concept or merely passive belief. It is a dynamic value system rooted in the basic meanings of "security" and "trust," which then evolves into total commitment. Semantically, the word "iman" is always intertwined with vocabulary of action (‘amal ṣāliḥ) and morality (khuluq), forming an inseparable unity of meaning. The behavioral manifestations of faith radiate in three main realms: (1) Vertical morality towards God (such as gratitude, patience, trust); (2) Horizontal social morality (such as honesty/ṣidq, trustworthiness, justice, and benevolence/iḥsān); and (3) Morality towards oneself (such as purification of the soul/tazkiyah al-nafs). In conclusion, this research affirms that morality is the ontological realization and empirical evidence of creed. Thus, the dichotomy between creed and morality proves to have no solid foundation in the linguistic structure of the Qur'an. Faith is inherently practical, making noble behavior the obligatory path from belief that lives within the heart. Keyword : Īmān
