This research examines Abu Hayyan's methodology in the tafsir 'al-Bahr al-Muhit,' especially in interpreting QS. Al-Baqarah [2]: 222, by comparing mutawatir and shādzdzah qirât. Abu Hayyan's approach highlights the interaction between qirât and legal interpretation and compares it with other scholars to assess his contribution to Islamic jurisprudence. This study is qualitative research using descriptive-analytical methods. It analyses Abu Hayyan's interpretation, especially in his work al-Bahr al-Muhit, by comparing the different interpretations of other scholars to gain a broader insight. This study concludes that Abu Hayyân succeeded in showing that qirât syâdzdzah can be used to interpret the Qur'an. Qirât shâdzdzah can be compromised with qirât mutawatir to provide a more holistic interpretation in the study of interpretation and Islamic jurisprudence

Exploring The Relevance Of Pantheism With The Halaika Beliefs Of The Inner Boti Tribe

This article is a development of the Simlitabmas research grant from the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture that I did in 2022 in Boti Village, Ki'e District, South Central Timor Regency and has been published in book form and as my thesis during college. The research that I raised at that time was the Cultural Feudalism of the Boti Tribe According to the Perspective of Paulo Freire's Theory of Liberating Education and Its Implementation in Christian Religious Education. In developing this article, I focus on the essence of halaika through the sociology of religion in order to find its scientific concept and see its relevance to pantheism. The Qualitative Ethnographic Method was used to see the cultural side and the halaika belief side of the Boti Dalam tribe. Literature study was used to add to the literature review related to pantheism. The results of the study show that both have relevance in terms of the meaning of nature as a source of life for humans. Where, nature is a place for humans to live and maintain their lives. In addition, both also believe that behind the existence of nature and human life there is something that envelops them in the limitations of their understanding regarding things that they cannot do. Nature also provides an understanding that what is visible is God who is in the invisible, so that the existence of nature and God becomes an inseparable unity for both

Exploration of Al-Hallaj's Thought: Window on Religious Pluralism in Islam

This research aims to describe and explore the thinking of Wahdat al-Adyan al-Hallaj. The method used in this research is descriptive-analytical. The primary data used in this research are the works of al-Hallaj. Meanwhile, secondary data in this research are books, journal articles and other websites that discuss al-Hallaj's thoughts. The research results show that there are efforts to deconstruct Islamic Sufism al-Hallaj by pluralist circles. The accusation of al-Hallaj as the father of pluralism in Islam cannot be proven. This is due to misunderstanding and needing to be more comprehensive in understanding al-Hallaj's expressions in his verses and aimed at the interests of Western liberalization with efforts to interpret the text and misappropriation of language from Transcendent Unity of Religion become Wahdat al-Adyan. So, concept Wahdat al-Adyan what is claimed to be the concept of religious pluralism in the Western or Orientalist version of Islam is a misunderstanding. In Islam there is no such thing as religious unity (transcendent unity), what exists instead is al-Hallaj's experience in understanding religious differences. However, understanding Wahdat al-Adyan which was introduced by al-Hallaj, in essence, the existing religions have the same aim, namely to obtain calm, peace and happiness in their spiritual dimension by serving their God according to their respective beliefs. Therefore, it is not permissible to judge and criticize other religions, and instead recommend that someone be obedient and consistent in their respective religions, as well as open, tolerant and pluralist religious awareness

Development of the PAI Curriculum System through Integration of Riwāyah Aḥmad No. 8952: Pengembangan Sistem Kurikulum PAI melalui Integrasi Riwāyah Aḥmad No. 8952

In recent years, various moral issues such as bullying, individualism, and diminished social awareness among students have emerged as critical concerns in education. In response to this, it becomes imperative to examine the concept of akhlāq (moral character) within Islamic education, particularly through the integration of the Prophet’s hadith into the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) curriculum. This research posits two central questions: first, what is the meaning of riwāyah Aḥmad No. 8952, and second, how can the values encapsulated in this hadith be effectively implemented to optimize the function of the PAI curriculum? These questions are analyzed using a qualitative-descriptive methodology, employing a literature study approach that involves a comprehensive review, examination, and comparison of various hadiths and Islamic educational texts. The findings suggest that the conceptual emphasis on akhlāq, which underscores its central role as the primary mission of prophethood, should serve as the foundational framework for the PAI curriculum. Furthermore, the research identifies the application of a Deep Learning approach incorporating Mindful, Meaningful, and Joyful Learning strategies as a promising method for internalizing akhlāq values into students’ lives

Human Rights Discourse for Marginalized People: A Hadith Approach with Hassan Hanafi's Hermeneutics: Diskursus Hak Asasi Manusia untuk Kaum Marginal: Pendekatan Hadis dengan Hermeneutika Hassan Hanafi

Human rights apply universally regardless of age, religion, gender, nationality, social status, political views, or local language. However, in practice, intolerant behavior is still widely found. This then gave birth to the term marginalized, such as religious minorities, the weak, powerless, poor, and suburban communities. Departing from these problems, it is important to re-read the hadith guidance to determine tolerant, humanist, and respectful attitudes towards others within the framework of human rights. Two questions become the initial basis of the study; first, how does the hadith view marginalized people? Second, how does Hassan Hanafi’s Hermeneutics interpret the hadith on human rights? Both questions were then analyzed using a qualitative approach with descriptive-analysis-based library research and content analysis as a data analysis technique. The results of this study show that Hassan Hanafi’s hermeneutic reading of the hadith termed the value of equality as “being”, with elements such as brotherhood, equality, and humanity included in “being with others”. In addition, safeguarding and fulfilling human rights for marginalized groups, such as the right to life, justice, equality, property, religious freedom, and decent wages, is part of the “being in the world” referred to in the hadith. This is corroborated by the awareness of the Prophet Muhammad, who always provided examples and guidance in upholding and protecting human rights, especially for marginalized groups

Sermons, Controversy, and Community Resilience in Surakarta Mosques

This reasearch aims to explore the forms of controversial religious narratives in the Sagara and Jagananta Mosques in Surakarta, as well as the congregation’s responses to these narratives. The research location is significant because both mosques have been involved in the emergence of an Islamic purist group associated with intolerance and radicalization. The study uses a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach and content analysis, through observations and interviews with eleven mosque members representing the surrounding community. The findings indicate that the controversial narratives emerging in Friday sermons and religious lectures include one-sided condemnations of government policies, political views of other groups, and the demonization of certain communities. In general, the congregations in both mosques demonstrate resilience by questioning and rejecting these narratives, relating them to more official and legitimate sources of information. They respond realistically, rejecting calls such as the condemnation of anti-terrorism laws and the belief that online games are a Jewish attack. Conversely, some more vulnerable members of the congregation affirm these narratives, influenced by feelings of victimization and shared political views. These findings suggest a contestation of religious orientations, which has implications for social transformation within the community

Just a Philomath, not a Polymath: Did the Paradigm of Integration-Interconnection of Sciences Obscure or Illuminate the Study of the Qur’an and Tafsir in Academic Institution?

“You can blame me, that I started (the Integration-Interconnection of Science, hereinafter referred to as I-Con) from a theological (agenda), but my theology is not your theology. The difference (between them) is in the cross-reference of (sciences)”. This was Amin Abdullah’s response to a question addressed to him on whether the I-Con mega project is better regarded as an academic or theological agenda, a query that will always haunt it for years to come, as long as one still wonders if academic and theological studies to religious texts can swim in the same pool. This article is written to divulge some challenges and pitfalls in the mainstreaming of the I-Con paradigm for lecturers and students of the Qur’an and Tafsir Studies program in Indonesian Islamic Universities. Foremost is the nature of this paradigm as a reformist preaching orientated towards contextual-thematic interpretation, thus diverting the main attention of researchers in Qur’anic studies from uncovering many other important elements of the Qur’an. This article further argues that I-Con has significantly contributed to the establishment of what is referred to as the academic echolalia in applying foreign theories to tafsir studies, an oversight that should be rethought before it goes too far away

Semiotika Kiblat: Analisis Peircean terhadap Tafsir At-Tanwir Muhammadiyah

The significance of this study lies in the understanding that the concept of the qibla in Islam is not merely a geographical direction but a symbol of identity, unity, and spiritual orientation for Muslims. In the modern era, the interpretation of the qibla faces challenges due to the developments in science, culture, and societal dynamics. The material object of this research is the concept of the qibla as interpreted in Tafsir At-Tanwir, while the formal object is the semiotic analysis of Charles Sanders Peirce, which views signs as a triadic relationship between the representamen, object, and interpretant. This study aims to uncover the profound meanings of the qibla concept through a comprehensive semiotic approach. The research employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical method with Peirce's semiotic theory as the analytical framework. Primary data are derived from Tafsir At-Tanwir, authored by the Muhammadiyah Council for Tarjih and Tajdid, while secondary data include literature on semiotics, Quranic exegesis, and socio-cultural studies related to the concept of the qibla. The analytical technique involves identifying the three core elements of a sign—representamen, object, and interpretant—and exploring their interrelations within historical, social, and theological contexts. The findings reveal that the qibla concept in Tafsir At-Tanwir is interpreted in multiple dimensions: as the direction of worship, the exclusive identity of Muslims, a symbol of an egalitarian social system, and an instrument for shaping the ideal personality of an Islamic society. &nbsp
