Microlinguistic and macrolinguistic approaches to qur'anic learning

Background: Qur'anic learning often focuses on the aspects of memorization and literal understanding of the text, without considering linguistic approaches that can enrich interpretation and understanding. This study aims to explore the application of linguistic approaches in Qur'anic learning to improve understanding and interpretation of Qur'anic verses. Methods: The approach used in this study is qualitative analysis by utilizing linguistic theories such as syntax, semantics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, anthropolinguistics, and ecolinguistics. Data were collected through an in-depth literature review on the application of linguistic approaches in Qur'anic learning, as well as case studies illustrating linguistic-based learning practices. Findings: This study found that the application of linguistic approaches in Qur'anic learning can improve understanding of language structure, verse meaning, and the social and cultural context contained in the text. Syntactic and semantic aspects help readers understand the word order and meaning of verses, while sociolinguistic aspects provide insight into the role of language in social and cultural contexts. Conclusion: The application of the linguistic approach in Qur'anic learning contributes significantly to deepening the understanding of the Qur'anic text. This approach allows readers to not only understand the meaning of words, but also capture the broader meaning of Qur'ānic verses, which relates to social, cultural and psychological contexts. Novelty/Originality of this article: This article contributes by integrating various branches of linguistics, including syntax, semantics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, anthropolinguistics, and ecolinguistics, in the context of Qur'anic learning, which has rarely been the main focus in previous studies. This opens up new perspectives in Qur'anic learning methods that are more comprehensive and applicable

Social da'wah of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) Bekasi City in preventing interfaith conflicts

Background: Religious conflicts in Bekasi City, such as the cases of HKBP in Ciketing Asem (2010) and Santa Clara church in North Bekasi (2017), reflect social tensions that threaten community harmony. This study aims to examine the role of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) of Bekasi City in social dakwah in reducing conflict, identifying conflict actors, and formulating effective prevention strategies. The theory used is Stephen Littlejohn's moral conflict theory combined with the Islamic concept of social conflict. Methods: This research uses a transdisciplinary approach by combining Western theories of moral conflict and Islamic concepts related to da'wah and social conflict. Islamic concepts such as iftiraaq (divide and conquer) and ikhtilaf (dispute) are analysed in the context of social conflict taken from several Quranic verses. Data were collected through literature review and analysis of MUI's role in social da'wah efforts and conflict resolution. Findings: This research found that social conflicts with religious backgrounds in Bekasi City stem from two main factors. Firstly, the conflict comes from the moral aspect of individuals who do not want the social order to run well. Second, there is external interference that imposes its interests even though it is against the will of the local community. MUI plays a role in reducing conflict through social da'wah, but the challenges in overcoming individual morals and external disturbances are still significant. Conclusion: Religious conflict in Bekasi City is a serious threat to social stability. MUI Bekasi City plays an important role in reducing tensions through social da'wah, but a more comprehensive prevention strategy is needed to address moral conflicts and external disturbances. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research offers a transdisciplinary approach that combines Western moral conflict theory and Islamic concepts of dakwah and social conflict. This provides a new perspective in understanding religious conflict in Indonesia and formulating relevant prevention strategies in the context of MUI's social da'wah

Employment insurance perspective on islamic law and job creation law No. 11 of 2020 on manpower No. 13 of 2003

Background: The study of insurance within the framework of Islamic law is a relatively recent development, lacking representation in classical fiqh literature. Discussions surrounding insurance have emerged primarily with contemporary scholars, highlighting its importance in modern financial management. Today, insurance serves as a critical tool for financial planning, aimed at eliminating, avoiding, and minimizing potential risks that individuals and businesses may face. Methods: This research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing a case study methodology. The author gathered primary and secondary data through various field research methods, including observations, direct interviews, documentation, and library research. To address the research questions, the analysis is grounded in the theory of law implementation, focusing on the values of justice and legal certainty to achieve meaningful outcomes in practice. Findings: The findings reveal that, from an Islamic law perspective, conventional insurance cannot be classified as Islamic insurance due to its non-compliance with key characteristics and its inclusion of elements such as gharar (uncertainty), maysir (gambling), and usury. In contrast, Islamic insurance is defined by five fundamental characteristics: it is based on the principle of cooperation (tabarru'), aims to mitigate the impact of potential risks, features a membership association representing its members, ensures that insurance funds and investment returns remain the property of the members, and positions the insurance company as a service provider managing the funds. These characteristics are documented in the DSN-MUI fatwas concerning insurance. Conclusion: Despite these insights, the legal objectives intended by Islamic law and Law No. 13 of 2003 concerning manpower have not been fully realized. The core values of justice, legal certainty, and the benefits of the law remain inadequately achieved. The author argues that the existence of multiple regulatory frameworks governing employment insurance leads to legal dualism, resulting in a lack of clear legal certainty in employment insurance regulations. Novelty/Originality of this article: This article contributes to the understanding of Islamic insurance by clarifying the distinctions between conventional and Islamic insurance practices, emphasizing the need for clear regulations. It addresses the contemporary challenges faced in aligning legal frameworks with the principles of Islamic law, paving the way for further discussions and developments in the field of Islamic financial management
