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

Doa dan Ketundukan kepada Allah SWT dalam Perspektif Al-Qur’an: Telaah QS. Al-Baqarah Ayat 186 dan 200–202
Prayer is a form of human devotion and submission to Allah SWT that encompasses theological, spiritual, psychological, and social dimensions. In the Qur’an, prayer is not merely understood as a request, but also as an act of worship that strengthens faith, nurtures reliance upon Allah (tawakkul), and shapes a Muslim’s character. This study aims to examine the meaning of prayer and submission to Allah SWT from the Qur’anic perspective, with particular focus on QS. Al-Baqarah verses 186 and 200–202. This research employs a qualitative approach using a library research method, with primary data sources consisting of the Qur’an, the Prophet’s hadith, classical and contemporary Qur’anic commentaries, as well as relevant scholarly literature. Data analysis is conducted through a descriptive-analytical method using a thematic tafsir (maudhu‘i) approach. The findings indicate that prayer functions as a means of strengthening faith and reliance on Allah, a medium of closeness (qurb) between servant and Creator, spiritual education, social cohesion, and guidance for maintaining balance between worldly life and the hereafter. In the context of contemporary Muslim life, prayer holds significant urgency as a spiritual foundation that fosters inner peace, optimism, and psychological resilience in facing the challenges of modern life.

Resepsi Estetik Jauss terhadap Ayat-Ayat Jilbab: Studi Komparatif Sastra Tafsir Kemenag VS. Narasi Hijab Fashion di TikTok
The hijab phenomenon in Indonesia has undergone a radical transformation from a static theological signifier to a dynamic visual commodity in the digital era. This research aims to analyze the shift in religious authority and the interpretation of hijab verses (Surah Al-Ahzab: 59 and Surah An-Nur: 31) by comparing the official narrative of the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag) and the hijab fashion narratives on TikTok. Using Hans Robert Jauss’s Aesthetic of Reception theory, specifically the concepts of "horizon of expectation" and "aesthetic distance," the study employs a comparative analysis on diachronic and synchronic axes. The findings reveal a sharp divergence in reception: Kemenag builds a normative-institutional horizon focusing on legal compliance and moral protection, whereas TikTok constructs an aesthetic-digital horizon driven by algorithmic logic, visibility, and consumerism. This shift demonstrates a radical decentralization of religious authority, where digital influencers act as new interpreters prioritizing "visual orthopraxy" over traditional orthodoxy. Consequently, aesthetics has become a new regime of truth for the younger generation. This study concludes that religious institutions must adopt visual literacy and new interpretive approaches to remain relevant within modern visual culture.

Nifaq Politik : Analisis Konseptual dalam Perspektif Al-Qur’an dan Hadis
Political nifaq refers to a form of hypocrisy manifested in the exercise of power, characterized by a discrepancy between moral rhetoric and actual political conduct. In Muslim societies, political nifaq becomes a critical issue as religious symbols and discourse are often exploited to gain public legitimacy. This article aims to examine the concept of political nifaq from the perspectives of the Qur’an and the Prophetic traditions, as well as its implications for Islamic political ethics. This study employs a qualitative library research method with a normativetheological approach, utilizing the Qur’an, hadith, classical exegesis, and Islamic political thought literature as primary sources. The findings indicate that political nifaq constitutes an ethical deviation from Islamic political principles, leading to declining public trust, a crisis of leadership legitimacy, and moral degradation in political life. Therefore, Islam emphasizes honesty, trustworthiness, and consistency between words and actions as fundamental principles for establishing ethical and responsible political practices.

A Study Of Spiritual Struggle In Muslim Diaspora Using The Maqāṣid Al-Sharī‘Ah Approach In Sami Yusuf’s Song Lyrics
This study examines spiritual struggle and moral guidance among Muslim diaspora as represented in Sami Yusuf’s song lyrics using a qualitative descriptive method. As Bryman (2004:269) states, qualitative research prioritizes interpretation of textual meaning rather than quantification; therefore, this study analyzes selected lyric excerpts from Came To Me, Make Me Strong, and You through the framework of Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah, specifically ḥifẓ al-dīn (protection of faith), ḥifẓ al-nafs (protection of psychological well-being), and ḥifẓ al-‘aql (protection of intellect). In line with Wahid (2023), Maqāṣid provides a contextual ethical approach to contemporary challenges, while Auda emphasizes its orientation toward human welfare (maṣlaḥah). The findings show that Sami Yusuf’s lyrics portray faith restoration amid disorientation (ḥifẓ al-dīn), emotional resilience and inner healing under pressure (ḥifẓ al-nafs), and moral reasoning guided by divine orientation within ideological plurality (ḥifẓ al-‘aql). Overall, the songs function as contemporary Islamic literary texts that offer spiritual and moral guidance for Muslim diaspora navigating modern uncertainties.

Hukuman Cambuk di Aceh Nanggroe Darussalam: Tinjauan Yuridis atas Legitimasi Hukum dan Penyeimbangan Prinsip Hak Asasi Manusia
The implementation of caning punishment in the Aceh Qanun Jinayah is an implementation of Islamic law that obtains legal legitimacy through constitutional recognition of regional specificities. However, its existence and implementation practices still generate debate, particularly regarding its position within the national legal system and its conformity with human rights principles. This study aims to analyze the legal legitimacy of caning punishment within the framework of Indonesia's pluralistic national legal system and examine the dynamics of its implementation in response to human rights criticism. This study uses a normative legal method with a legislative and conceptual approach through a review of the 1945 Constitution, laws, the Qanun Jinayah, and legal literature. The results show that caning punishment has a valid and binding legal basis specifically in Aceh, and has undergone adjustments in its implementation, including through changes in the location of execution. The novelty of this study lies in the integrative analysis of the legal legitimacy and implementation practices of caning punishment. The contribution of this research is to enrich legal studies on the harmonization of Islamic law and human rights in the Indonesian rule of law.

Pemahaman Asbābun Nuzūl dan Signifikansinya dalam Ilmu Tafsir
ABSTRACT Asbāb al-Nuzūl is one of the branches of Qur’anic studies that examines the causes or events underlying the revelation of Qur’anic verses. This discipline holds a crucial position in efforts to understand the meaning of the verses comprehensively and contextually. This study aims to explore the definition, forms, and sources of asbāb al-nuzūl, as well as to analyze its role in the interpretation of the Qur’an. The method used is a qualitative approach through library research, which involves collecting and analyzing data from classical and contemporary tafsīr literature, such as the works of al-Wāhidī, al-Suyūṭī, Ibn Kathīr, and other modern mufassirīn. The results of the study indicate that asbāb al-nuzūl plays a highly significant role in understanding the context of revelation, thereby preventing textual and ahistorical misinterpretations. By understanding asbāb al-nuzūl, interpreters can grasp the social situations and conditions at the time of the revelation, as well as determine the scope of the legal rulings or moral messages contained in the verses more accurately. Moreover, asbāb al-nuzūl assists in distinguishing between general and specific verses and clarifies the relationship between the text and its context. Therefore, asbāb al-nuzūl is not merely a historical record of the revelation of verses but also serves as an important methodological tool in the science of tafsīr. This study emphasizes that understanding asbāb al-nuzūl is one of the key factors in interpreting the Qur’an correctly, contextually, and in accordance with the objectives of Shariah (maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah).

Akhlak Mahmudah: Hubungan Akhlak Dengan Iman Dan Islam, Akhlak Sebagai Puncak Keberagaman, Karakteristik Akhlak Islam, Dan Pembentukan Akhlak Perspektif Tasawuf Akhlaki
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis secara mendalam kedudukan akhlak dalam struktur ajaran Islam serta mekanisme pembentukannya melalui pendekatan tasawuf akhlaki. Akhlak seringkali dipandang hanya sebagai perilaku lahiriah, padahal dalam tradisi intelektual Islam, ia merupakan cerminan dari kualitas iman dan manifestasi ketaatan seorang Muslim. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah studi pustaka dengan mengeksplorasi pandangan tokoh klasik seperti al-Ghazali dan Ibnu Miskawaih. Hasil pembahasan menunjukkan bahwa akhlak, iman, dan Islam merupakan satu kesatuan integral di mana akhlak berfungsi sebagai indikator kesempurnaan keyakinan batin seseorang. Lebih lanjut, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa karakteristik akhlak Islam bersifat rabbani, universal, dan seimbang, yang membedakannya dari sistem etika sekuler. Dalam perspektif tasawuf akhlaki, pembentukan karakter mulia dilakukan melalui proses spiritual yang terstruktur, meliputi tazkiyatun nafs, riyadhah, dan mujahadah. Simpulan dari kajian ini menegaskan bahwa akhlak adalah puncak dari keberagamaan yang memberikan dampak sosial nyata, bukan sekadar kesalehan ritualistik. Temuan ini memberikan implikasi bagi pengembangan pendidikan karakter berbasis spiritualitas di era modern.

Dasar Keagamaan Gerakan Islam Muhammadiyah Indonesia
The Muhammadiyah Islamic movement, founded by KH Ahmad Dahlan on 18 November 1912, emerged as a response to the socio-religious degradation under colonial rule, grounding its religious orientation in the purification of Islamic creed based on the Qur’an and Sunnah from elements of shirk, bid‘ah, and khurafat. Through the concept of Islam Berkemajuan (Progressive Islam), Muhammadiyah integrates pure monotheism, progressive renewal (tajdid), the principles of amar ma’ruf nahi munkar, and the vision of rahmatan lil ‘alamin as an embodiment of the ummatan wasathan (the justly balanced community). This study employs a library research method by analyzing several historical works on Muhammadiyah, foundational doctrinal texts (Matan Keyakinan), and academic articles from the Majelis Tarjih scientific archives. Muhammadiyah is an Islamic reform movement in Indonesia that seeks to eliminate bid‘ah, superstition, and khurafat from societal culture. Rooted in the Qur’an and Hadith, Muhammadiyah is committed to developing sound, pure, and enlightened religious thought.

Dialektika Teologi dan Budaya dalam Gerakan Muhammadiyah: Kajian Kepustakaan Landasan Kultural Islam Berkemajuan
This article aims to analyze the cultural foundations of Muhammadiyah from the perspective of Progressive Islam (Islam Berkemajuan) through a library research approach. The study was conducted by examining scholarly literature published within the last ten years related to the cultural dynamics within the Muhammadiyah movement. The findings indicate that Muhammadiyah’s cultural foundation is an integral part of the purification and modernization processes that have been in place since the era of K.H. Ahmad Dahlan. The main findings reveal that the dialectic between normative theology and local culture has shaped a movement characterized by rationality, ethical values, and progressive orientation. Progressive Islam strengthens this dialectical pattern through three core principles: religious rationality, universal human ethics, and practical social engagement. This study fills a gap in previous research, which has not comprehensively examined the relationship between theology and culture within the framework of Progressive Islam. The implications of this article demonstrate that Muhammadiyah’s cultural foundation serves as an epistemological basis for developing an Islamic paradigm that is inclusive, moderate, and oriented toward civilizational advancement.

Peran Sertifikasi Halal Dalam Menjamin Keamanan Dan Kepatuhan Produk Bagi Konsumen Muslim
Halal certification has become a crucial instrument in ensuring product safety and compliance for Muslim consumers, given the growing public awareness of the halal nature of products in accordance with Sharia principles. The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of halal certification in protecting Muslim consumers, ensuring producer compliance with regulations, and increasing consumer trust in products. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, with a literature review approach based on regulations, national journals, and literature related to halal certification and Muslim consumer behavior. The results indicate that halal certification not only serves as a sign of legal compliance but also serves as moral and spiritual protection for Muslim consumers, helping them avoid products with questionable halal status (syubhat), and increasing consumer trust and loyalty. In conclusion, halal certification plays a dual role as a guarantee of product safety and a consumer protection instrument, while also supporting business actors in complying with regulations and maintaining their business reputation in accordance with the principles of faith.

Islam Indonesia: Telaah Konstruksi Idenditas Muslim Tradisional Dan Muslim Modernis
This study examines the construction of traditional and modernist Muslim identities in Indonesia within contemporary social, cultural, and religious contexts. The central problem of the research concerns how historical dynamics, education, modernization, and globalization have shaped the distinctive characteristics and interactions between these two groups. The objective of this study is to identify the defining features of each group, the factors influencing shifts in religious identity, and their respective contributions to the development of Islam in Indonesia. This research employs a library-based methodology with descriptive qualitative analysis, utilizing scholarly documents, academic literature, and historical sources as primary data. The research subjects include the social representations of traditional and modernist Muslim groups in Indonesia, particularly those affiliated with pesantren networks and modernist Islamic organizations across the archipelago. The findings indicate that traditional Muslims serve as custodians of religious tradition, cultural heritage, and spiritual continuity, whereas modernist Muslims function as agents of transformation through rationality, modern education, and reinterpretation of religious texts. The interaction between these two groups generates a dialectical process that enriches the diversity of Indonesian Islam while fostering the emergence of a more moderate, adaptive, and inclusive religious expression.

Aktualisasi Makna Sakinah dalam Keluarga Single Parent
A harmonious family is an ideal concept in Islam that emphasizes peace, love, and affection within the household. Generally, this concept is built on the basis of a husband-wife relationship, but in social reality, many families are run by a single parent due to divorce, the death of a spouse, or other reasons. This study examines how the values ​​of harmonious family can be applied in single-parent families. Using a descriptive-qualitative approach, this paper describes the meaning of harmonious family in the context of single parenthood and relevant strategies for actualization, such as a strong foundation of faith, open communication, and structured life management. The results indicate that single-parent families can still achieve true peace and harmony as long as Islamic values ​​are the foundation of their upbringing and daily lives.

Pembatalan Perkawinan karena Paksaan Orang Tua Analisis Putusan Pengadilan Agama Palembang Nomor 360/Pdt.G/2025/PA.PLG
Marriage under Indonesian law must be based on the consent of both prospective spouses, as stipulated in Article 6 paragraph (1) of Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage. However, in practice, marriages are still conducted under coercion from family members. This study aims to analyze the judicial considerations in the Decision of the Religious Court of Palembang Number 360/Pdt.G/2025/PA.PLG concerning the annulment of marriage due to parental coercion imposed on one of the parties. The research method applied is normative juridical with a case approach. The findings show that the marriage between the Plaintiff and the Defendant did not meet the legal requirements of validity because it was not founded on free will but rather influenced by familial pressure. The panel of judges considered witness testimonies, written evidence, and psychological examination results to establish that the marriage had been conducted without the Defendant’s full consent. This ruling is consistent with Article 71 letter (f) and Article 73 letter (b) of the Compilation of Islamic Law, which provide the legal basis for annulment in cases of coercion. In conclusion, the judges emphasized the principle of substantive justice through the fiqh maxim dar’ul mafasid muqaddamun ‘ala jalbil mashalih, meaning that preventing harm takes precedence over attaining benefit. The implication of this decision underscores the urgency of free consent as the foundation of marriage and highlights the need for legal protection of individuals harmed by forced marriage practices.

Paradigma Tematik-Integratif dalam Pengembangan Kurikulum dan Pembelajaran PAI di Madrasah: Suatu Kajian Teoretik
In the rapidly evolving digital era of 2025, Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in Indonesia faces significant challenges in shaping resilient Islamic character among students who spend considerable time on digital devices. This study aims to develop a PAI curriculum model based on Islamic character that integrates religious values, contextual approaches, and digital technology to address the challenges of secular and materialistic values. Employing a library research method, this study analyzes literature from curriculum development theories, Islamic character education, and digital technology utilization. The findings indicate that enhancing teacher competencies through professional training and digital literacy, innovating teaching methods such as project-based and cooperative learning, and integrating character values through intracurricular, cocurricular, extracurricular, and religious habituation pathways can improve the effectiveness of PAI learning. Challenges such as limited facilities, teacher resistance, and negative social media influences can be addressed through collaborative strategies involving parents and communities, as well as leveraging educational technology. This curriculum supports the formation of individuals with noble character, relevant to the needs of the digital era, and aligned with national education goals. The study contributes to developing PAI strategies that are responsive to social and technological dynamics.

Relevansi Pemikiran Pluralisme Gus Dur di Era Digital: Tinjauan Keberagaman dalam Perspektif Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan
This study looks into how relevant K.H. Abdurrahman Wahid's (Gus Dur's) ideas on pluralism are for responding to these modern challenges, especially from the viewpoint of Civic Education (PPKn). The research uses a literature review, pulling data from academic journals, books, and other related documents. It focuses on three main questions: (1) How Gus Dur's life experiences formed his pluralistic outlook; (2) How diversity and pluralism are understood within Civic Education; and (3) Which specific parts of Gus Dur's pluralism can be used in today's digital world. The findings show that Gus Dur's thinking—especially on universal humanism, the "indigenization of Islam," and his concept of separating religion and state (though not complete secularism)—provides a strong basis for building a new digital citizenship. This new ethical framework is meant to encourage attitudes that are tolerant, critical, and open, all of which reflect the core values of Pancasila.

Analisis Putusan Pengadilan Agama Bekasi Tentang Pengesahan Nikah Orang Tua Yang Telah Meninggal
Decision Number 1953/Pdt.G/2025/PA.Bks at the Bekasi Religious Court discusses a marriage isbat petition filed by Asmalih bin Matal Siman against his siblings, Asmat bin Matal Siman and Halimah binti Matal Siman, regarding the validation of their parents’ marriage, namely the late Matal Siman bin Siman and the late Asmaroh binti Jaya, which was conducted on January 10, 1963, in accordance with Islamic law but was not registered at the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) of West Bekasi District. This petition was submitted based on the need for legal administrative purposes and certainty of heir status due to the absence of official marriage registration. This research aims to analyze the legal considerations of the panel of judges in granting the petition and its implications for the validity of unregistered marriages. The research method employs a normative juridical approach by examining the court decision and relevant statutory provisions. The results show that the panel of judges considered that the marriage of the deceased fulfilled the pillars and requirements of marriage under Islamic law, was validly conducted with a guardian and witnesses, and had never been legally challenged. The legal considerations were based on Article 7 of the Compilation of Islamic Law and Article 49 of Law Number 7 of 1989 concerning Religious Courts and its amendments, thereby granting the court jurisdiction to adjudicate the case. The final judgment granted the Petitioner’s request, declared the marriage valid, and imposed court fees of IDR 302,000.00.

Metodologi Kritik Hadis dalam Penafsiran Isu Gender dalam Al-Qur’an
This study aims to critique Hadith in interpreting gender issues in the Qur'an. The results of the study found that the methodology of hadith criticism, both sanad criticism and matan criticism, is a very important instrument in interpreting Qur'anic verses on gender. Without adequate criticism, hadith can be misused to legitimize discriminatory practices against women, even though Islam, as a religion of rahmatan lil 'alamin, cannot possibly teach injustice. Understanding the historical, sociological, and cultural context in which a hadith was uttered or a verse was revealed is a necessity. Some hadith that appear patriarchal are actually responses to specific situations during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and cannot be generalized to all contexts. For example, the hadith on female leadership (QS. An-Nisa' [4]: ​​34) needs to be understood in the specific context of the collapse of the Persian Empire, not as a universal prohibition against female leadership.
