The Concept of Salvation in the Qur'an: A Theological Analysis and Comparative Study with Other Abrahamic Traditions Ichwan, Moh. Nor Nabavi, Sayed Majid Benaouali, Mohamed Cherif comparative theology Qur'nic soteriology salvation divine grace human responsibility The concept of salvation is a crucial theological issue debated within Islam, Christianity, and Judaism Abrahamic traditions. While these three religions share similarities in emphasizing faith and ethical behavior, they exhibit fundamental differences regarding the mechanisms of salvation. This study highlights that Islam emphasizes a balance between divine grace and individual responsibility, contrasting with Christianity's focus on grace and redemption through Jesus Christ and Judaism's emphasis on obedience to God's covenants and laws. Utilizing a qualitative approach, the research employs textual analysis of the holy scriptures from each tradition alongside comparative theological studies. The findings reveal that the Qur'an integrates divine grace (rahmah) and human effort (amal salih), presenting a holistic view of salvation that differs from the grace-centered model of Christianity and the law-centered approach of Judaism. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of soteriology across these traditions and fosters constructive interreligious dialogue by illuminating both shared values and distinct theological perspectives.

Itsbat Nikah in the Legality of Marriage Law in Indonesia: Maslahah Mursalah's Perspective Abdul Azis Ali Mutakin Itsbat nikah legality of marriage maslahah mursalah legal order Itsbat nikah in Indonesia presents a surprising legal phenomenon because it raises uncertainty about the legality of marriage. The primary purpose of this study is to uncover how itsbat nikah is used as a solution to legally religious marriages that have yet to be officially recorded. The research was carried out with a qualitative approach involving the analysis of literature, legal regulations, and decisions issued by the Religious Court and the Office of Religious Affairs. The study results show that itsbat nikah plays a significant role in legally recognizing marriages that have not been recorded, maintaining legal certainty, and protecting civil rights and inheritance. Implementing itsbat nikah not only meets the legal needs of individuals but also strengthens social order by ensuring that every marriage is legally recognized in society. These findings confirm that itsbat nikah, in the context of maslahah mursalah, supports social justice and legal protection for all Indonesian citizens, emphasizing the importance of this legal mechanism in strengthening the foundation of the family and society.

The Meaning of Information Accumulation in Digital Conversation Spaces: Study on WhatsApp Application Group Communication Medium Abdullah Khusairi This study explores the dynamics of group communication and information in the digital conversation space, using descriptive qualitative research methods through participatory data collection and interviews with 112 netizens who are members of WhatsApp Groups. Meanwhile, the analysis of the results uses the theory of Critic Analysis Discourse (CDA) Ruth Wodak (1980). Wodak said that every discourse needs to be examined by the reproductive process, the social and historical context, and the power relations and ideologies that make up the discourse. The Media of Dependency Theory theory was supported by Melvin L. Defleur and Sandra Ball-Rokeach (1989). The results show that the dominance of active members in the digital conversation space, which takes place quickly all the time, in WhatsApp Groups (WAGs) creates a buildup of informational messages. Passive group members ignore the information. This is evidence of inhibition and delay in communication goals. Research findings show that there are more passive members than active members. The dominance of active members in the discourse in the WAG has shown the picture of the WAG of unbalanced group communication between members. There is a certain individual discourse power in each WAG.

Application of Laku Pandai (Branchless Banking) in The Legal Perspective of Sharia Banking in Indonesia Abdurrahman Hakim Laku Pandai (Branchless Banking), Inclusive Islamic Finance, and Islamic Banking This research examines the increasing standardization of sharia banking services for people who have not yet received banking services (unbanked and underbanked). This requires legal certainty to protect customers and Sharia bank agents when running the Laku Pandai (Branchless Banking) application. This research uses qualitative methods, literature studies, and normative-doctrinal legal research. The collected data was analyzed using deductive logic with a statutory approach. The analysis techniques used are qualitative analysis and content analysis. This research indicates that implementing an inclusive financial system in Indonesia is still not in line with applicable regulations and real policies. This does not fulfill the sense of justice and legal certainty needed to protect customers and bank agents.  RaSAIL Media Group, Semarang, Indonesia 2024-06-25 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Peer-reviewed Article application/pdf https://journal.rasailmedia.com/index.php/ijoris/article/view/4 10.64529/s7hafr42 International Journal of Religious and Interdisciplinary Studies (IJoRIS); Vol. 1 No. 1 (2024): March; 47-66 International Journal of Religious and Interdisciplinary Studies; Vol 1 No 1 (2024): March; 47-66 3062-9527 eng https://journal.rasailmedia.com/index.php/ijoris/article/view/4/3 https://journal.rasailmedia.com/index.php/ijoris/article/view/4/5 Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of Religious and Interdisciplinary Studies https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0

Navigating the Linguistic Labyrinth: Unraveling the Complexities of Translating the Qur'an into the Banjar Language Saifuddin Dzikri Nirwana Norhidayat Mowafq Abrahem Masuwd Al-Qur’an dan Terjemahnya Bahasa Banjar Banjar Language Cultural context Interpretation Translation of the Qur’an This research focuses on the challenges in translating the Quran into Banjar. This paper aims to explore the unique challenges that arise during the process of translating the Qur'an from Arabic into the Banjar language. Translating the Qur'an transforms texts from the source language into the target language, which is often faced with various complex problems. These problems are related to the miracles of the Qur'an, the distinct characteristics of the source language (Arabic) and the target language (Banjarese), and things related to the problem of diction, idioms, pronoun usage, grammatical rules, and spelling rules. The research method used is a qualitative approach with content analysis. Data were obtained from literature studies related to translation theory, linguistics, and Qur'an studies. The results of the study show that there are several main challenges in translating the Qur'an into Banjar, including (1) differences in the structure and grammatical system between Arabic and Banjar, (2) difficulties in expressing theological and metaphysical concepts of the Qur'an in Banjar, (3) there is a cultural gap between Arabic traditions and Banjar culture, and (4) the limitation of vocabulary in Banjar to translate specific terms in the Quran. This research enriches our understanding of the challenges in translating religious sacred texts, especially the Quran, into local languages. The findings of this study can be a reference for Qur'an translators and other stakeholders to promote a broader and more inclusive understanding of the Qur'an in Indonesia.   RaSAIL Media Group, Semarang, Indonesia 2024-09-17 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Peer-reviewed Article application/pdf https://journal.rasailmedia.com/index.php/ijoris/article/view/7 10.64529/astarp32 International Journal of Religious and Interdisciplinary Studies (IJoRIS); Vol. 1 No. 2 (2024): September; 97-112 International Journal of Religious and Interdisciplinary Studies; Vol 1 No 2 (2024): September; 97-112 3062-9527 eng https://journal.rasailmedia.com/index.php/ijoris/article/view/7/8 Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of Religious and Interdisciplinary Studies https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0

Mainstreaming Religious Moderation in Facing the Shift of Terrorism Movement Patterns in Indonesia Khamdan, Muh Umi Latifah Mohd Syakir Mohd Rosdi Naser Ali Abdulghani religious moderation terrorism Indonesia civil society radicalism This article discusses the role of religious moderation in dealing with the changing pattern of terrorism movements in Indonesia. Terrorism, which has been a serious threat since the 2002 Bali bombings, continues to evolve with increasingly complex movement patterns. The Government of Indonesia has taken steps to address it, including implementing the Terrorism Law, but challenges remain, especially regarding the often subjective definition of terrorism. This article aims to answer the question: How can religious moderation effectively deal with terrorism in Indonesia? This study uses qualitative methods and content analysis to analyze the synergy between the government and civil society, especially faith-based organizations such as Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah, in building community resilience against extremist ideologies. The study's findings suggest that the religious moderation approach, which involves cooperation between religious leaders and the government, can reduce the escalation of terrorism through a soft-power approach. The main scholarly contribution of this article is the emphasis on the importance of a more effective and sustainable approach to religious moderation in handling terrorism, as well as the need for synergy between the government and civil society actors in preventing radicalization at the grassroots level.

The Multifunctional Role of Mosques in the Development of Islam: A Case Study of Al-Malik Khalid Mosque, Universiti Sains Malaysia, and Its Implications for the Nigerian Context Auwal Salisu Rufa'i Sulaiman Abubakar Multi-functional Role of Masjid Masjid al-Malik Khalid Universiti Sains Malaysia Islamic Development Malaysian context and Nigerian context This study investigates the multi-functional role of mosques in contemporary Islamic societies by examining the case of Masjid Al-Malik Khalid at Universiti Sains Malaysia. While mosques are traditionally viewed as places of worship, this study argues that they can serve as dynamic centers for Islamic development, addressing broader community needs. Through qualitative analysis of archival documents, programmatic materials, and interviews with key stakeholders, the study examines how Masjid Al-Malik Khalid goes beyond ritual practice to encompass educational initiatives, social welfare programs, financial empowerment schemes, and community outreach efforts. The findings highlight the mosque's success in fostering spiritual growth, promoting knowledge acquisition, enhancing social well-being, and empowering the Muslim community. Drawing upon the Malaysian context, the study explores the potential for replicating such multi-functional mosque models in other settings, particularly in the Nigerian context. By analyzing the challenges and opportunities of different socio-cultural contexts, this research contributes to a nuanced understanding of how mosques can serve as catalysts for holistic Islamic development in the 21st century.

Revitalizing the Adamawa Economy Post-COVID-19: An Islamic Economic Approach Yakubu, Aminu Abubakar, Salihu Muhammad Badamasi, Nuru Fadimatu A. Jika Islamic Economics COVID-19 Economic Recovery Adamawa Zakat Waqf Sadaqah Inclusive Finance The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the global economy, with developing countries like Nigeria being particularly vulnerable. Within Nigeria, Adamawa State stands out as one of the regions most affected by the socio-economic consequences of the pandemic. This study seeks to investigate the potential of the Islamic economic system as a viable solution to the economic challenges faced by Adamawa in the post-pandemic era. By employing a qualitative research approach, the study gathered data through structured interviews with Islamic economists and members of the general public. The findings indicate that Islamic financial instruments—such as zakat, waqf, and sadaqah—possess significant potential to facilitate a more inclusive and sustainable economic recovery. These instruments could be vital in addressing inequality and providing a safety net for vulnerable communities. Moreover, the framework proposed in the study highlights how these financial tools can generate employment opportunities and enhance social welfare. The study offers valuable insights into the practical application of Islamic economic principles as part of the region's recovery strategy. Furthermore, it recommends future research to explore the implementation of these financial instruments at the local level, ensuring that the proposed solutions align with the unique socio-economic landscape of Adamawa State.

Morphological Processes in the Kwarta Mataci Dialect of Karekare (West Chadic): Evidence from Affixation, Infixation, and Tonal Modification Danhausa, Musa Yahuza Gamawa, Bukar Isa Haladu, Fatima Bala Kwarta Mataci Karekare Morphological processes Affixation Infixation Tonal modification West Chadic This study examines morphological processes in the Kwarta Mataci dialect of the Karekare language, one of the West Chadic languages that remains poorly documented in northeastern Nigeria. The unit of analysis in this study is morphologically complex words, obtained from native speakers through field-based oral interviews and supported by secondary linguistic sources. This study aims to provide a systematic description of word-formation strategies in the Kwarta Mataci dialect, with a focus on affixation, infixation, and tonal modification. Data were collected from educated and uneducated speakers and analyzed using a descriptive linguistic approach based on the framework of Matthews (1993) and the morphological process model of Abubakar (2001). The results show that the Kwarta Mataci dialect makes productive use of prefixation and suffixation in derivation and plural marking, as well as reduplication for intensifying meaning. An important finding of this study is the presence of productive infixation (-gwa-) as a word-formation strategy, a process that is relatively rarely reported in Chadic languages. In addition, tonal variations have been shown to function morphologically, marking shifts in word classes and meaning contrasts, suggesting a close interaction between morphology and tone. These findings provide new empirical evidence regarding infixation and morphophysiological processes in the Karekare language. Overall, this study contributes to the morphological typology of West Chadic by presenting the first dialect-specific description of the morphology of Kwarta Mataci and by expanding understanding of the aphasic organization and tonal morphology in poorly documented Afro-Asiatic languages.

Sharenting, Exploitation, or Entertainment? Case Study of @abe_daily TikTok Accounts and Their Impact on Children's Privacy Anggraeni, Maulinda Adinugraha, Hendri Hermawan Sharenting Child Exploitation Child Privacy TikTok Kidsfluencer Sharenting is a practice where parents share their children's life moments on social media. The study focused on @abe_daily's TikTok account, which features videos of a child's daily life and has sparked debate about children's privacy and potential exploitation. The main issue in this study is how the public views the content, whether it is as family entertainment or a form of child exploitation. This study aims to understand the public's perception of sharenting in @abe_daily accounts and its impact on children's privacy. This study uses a mixed methods approach, with in-depth interviews with ten informants and a survey of 13 respondents familiar with the account. Qualitative analysis was done through thematic, while quantitative data was collected through Likert scale questionnaires. The results showed that most respondents viewed content as positive entertainment, but there were concerns about child exploitation and privacy. While monetization of children's content is considered acceptable as long as children's well-being is maintained, there is an urgent need for stricter regulations regarding children's privacy on social media. This study recommends increased digital education for parents and clearer policies to protect children's rights in sharenting.

The Application of the Qiyas Method in Islamic Legal Reasoning: A Review of Fatwas by the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI) Nugraha, Iqbal Subhan Waheeda, Waheeda Mutakin, Ali Aziz, Abdul Saujan, Iqbal Fatwa Islamic Legal Reasoning Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI) Qiyas Method Fatwas have an important role in bridging the gap between the ideals of Islamic law and the ever-evolving social reality. This study examines the application of the qiyas method in fatwas issued by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), focusing on its legal reasoning and relevance in contemporary contexts. Through a qualitative approach with content analysis techniques, this study examines several MUI fatwas that use the basis of qiyas, such as provisions on the prohibition of alcohol, the implementation of Friday prayers on ships, and the obligation of zakat on income. The results of the study show that qiyas is an important instrument for MUI in responding to modern problems by referring to analogies from classical Islamic texts. By adapting legal principles from the past to the present situation, MUI shows the flexibility of Islamic law in responding to the challenges of the times. This study confirms that qiyas not only functions as a classical method in fiqh proposals, but also remains relevant in formulating contextual and applicable fatwas. These findings show the dynamics of contemporary ijtihad and the importance of the role of scholarly institutions in maintaining the continuity between sharia and the needs of modern society.

The primary issue explored is the theological theme of chaos and cosmos, which illustrates how God transforms chaos into order through His creative and redemptive actions. The research traces how early Christian thinkers understood and articulated this theme, particularly about God's kingship and the overarching narrative of creation, fall, redemption, and new creation. The study employs a qualitative textual analysis of prominent Patristic writings, systematically reviewing key texts that discuss creation narratives. This method allows for a detailed examination of the theological nuances present in these works, highlighting significant trends and variations in thought among different theologians. The iterative approach of this analysis uncovers the dynamic nature of early Christian cosmology and its implications for Trinitarian theology. The findings reveal that Patristic thinkers were deeply concerned with establishing a solid theological foundation for understanding creation about the Trinity. Their reflections continue to enrich contemporary Christian thought on creation, offering insights relevant to modern spiritual and theological discussions. This study recommends further engagement with Patristic literature to foster interdisciplinary dialogue, historical contextualisation, and meaningful theological reflection on creation in the context of contemporary issues.

Reinterpreting Islamic Authenticity: Hassan Hanafi's Sacred-Profane Dialectic and Its Implications for Social Transformation Ananda, Rifki Abror Fata, Ahmad Khoirul Parray, Tauseef Ahmad Sacred-Profane Dialectic Hassan Hanafi Islamic Left Social Transformation Islamic Theology Modernity and Tradition This article explores the dialectic between the sacred and the profane in Hassan Hanafi's Islamic Leftism, focusing on its implications for Islamic authenticity and social transformation. The study addresses the issue of how religious traditions, often perceived as static, can be reinterpreted to address contemporary social challenges such as economic inequality and political oppression. Employing a textual analysis method, the research examines Hanafi's key works, including Min Al-Aqidah Ila Al-Thawrah and Al-Turath wa al-Tajdid, to analyze his critique of traditional Islamic conservatism and his emphasis on the dynamic role of sacredness in driving social change. The findings reveal that Hanafi redefines Islamic authenticity by integrating spiritual values with practical social action, challenging the overemphasis on transcendental aspects in Sufism. This study contributes to the discourse on Islamic thought by offering a new framework that bridges spirituality with societal transformation, providing insights for scholars and policymakers seeking to reconcile religious traditions with modern challenges.

Cultural Fusion in Pesantren: Navigating Islamic Customs and Javanese Traditions in Kediri, Suburban Indonesia Huda, M. Dimyati Waluyo, Bagus Cultural Fusion Islamic Boarding Schools (Pesantren) Javanese Customs Religious Adaptation Suburban Indonesia This study examines how Javanese customs integrate with Islamic practices in pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) in suburban Kediri, Indonesia, and identifies key influencing factors. We used a phenomenological approach to analyze six pesantren students' experiences (gender-balanced, aged 17-23) through in-depth interviews. Findings reveal two main insights: First, cultural fusion manifests through practices like wearing a sarong during prayers, using local dialects in recitations, and incorporating slametan (communal feasts) into Islamic events, demonstrating Islam's cultural adaptability. Second, this integration is facilitated by inclusive leadership (religious scholars reconciling traditions with Islamic principles) and intergenerational dialogue (elders mentoring youth about ancestral customs). However, tensions emerge from generational divides and community disagreements over certain practices. The study highlights musyawarah (consensus-building discussions) as crucial for conflict resolution. These findings advance the understanding of cultural-Islamic hybridity in educational institutions, suggesting that Islamic education policies should formally incorporate local wisdom. Future research could compare urban/rural contexts or examine digital media's role in cultural transmission.

The Role of Digital Competencies, AI, and Informal Learning in Enhancing Functional Skills: A Study of Islamic School Teachers in Southern Pakistan Majeed, Muhammad Kashif Ahmad, Tunku Badariah Digital Competencies AI in Education Informal Learning Teacher Functional Skills Islamic Schools This study examines the interplay between digital competencies, AI usage, and digital informal learning in enhancing functional skills among Islamic secondary school teachers in Southern Pakistan, a context underexplored in existing literature. Despite the global emphasis on technology-driven education, little is known about how these factors collectively influence teacher development in resource-constrained, culturally specific settings like Islamic schools in Muzaffargarh. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected via Google Forms from 450 teachers and analyzed with SPSS (v22) to address two research questions: (1) the impact of digital competencies on functional skills acquisition, moderated by AI tools, and (2) the role of AI-based informal learning in teaching effectiveness and skill development. Results revealed that while digital competencies alone did not significantly improve functional skills (p=0.067), AI tools demonstrated a strong moderating effect (p=0.000), enhancing teachers' ability to leverage digital resources. Additionally, AI-powered informal learning platforms positively influenced teaching adaptability and skill progression. The study contributes to theory by highlighting AI's pivotal role as a bridge between digital literacy and functional skills in non-Western educational contexts. Practically, it underscores the need for targeted teacher training programs integrating AI tools and digital informal learning alongside infrastructure investments. These findings offer policymakers and educators a framework to design contextually relevant professional development initiatives, addressing gaps in Pakistan's Islamic education system while informing similar global contexts undergoing digital transition.

Comparative Analysis of Halal Tourism Management in Indonesia and China: Implementation, Challenges, and Opportunities Adinugraha, Hendri Hermawan Marier, Syauqie Muhammad Al-Kasyaf, Muhammad Zheeva Halal tourism Halal regulations Sharia compliance Indonesia China This study explores the implementation of halal management principles in the tourism industry in Indonesia and China as representatives of Muslim majority and minority countries. The main goal is to compare the effectiveness of regulations and infrastructure readiness and identify challenges and opportunities in developing halal tourism destinations. The study uses a qualitative, literature-based approach, analyzing regulatory documents, industry reports, and academic publications. The results of the analysis show that Indonesia adopts a regulation-based model with the support of national halal certification and halal industrial zones. At the same time, China prioritizes a market-based approach in areas with significant Muslim populations. Both countries face obstacles without global halal standards and limited provision of halal services in major destinations. This study highlights the importance of cross-sector collaboration, digital innovation, and policy harmonization to strengthen the competitiveness of global halal destinations. The contribution of this research lies in providing a comparative analysis that enriches the halal management literature and offers practical strategies for developing sustainable halal tourism.

Reinterpreting Tasabbuh in the Context of the Boycott Movement Against Israeli-Linked Products: A Living Hadith Approach Khamdan, Muh Mujib, Ahmad Khusairi, Abdullah Tasabbuh Living Hadith Boycott Movement Islamic Ethics Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah This study addresses a pressing contemporary issue in Muslim communities: the ethical and jurisprudential dilemma surrounding the boycott of products linked to Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories. While such boycotts—endorsed by fatwas like MUI No. 83/2023—are framed as acts of economic solidarity, a critical concern arises when Muslims produce alternative goods that resemble boycotted items: does this constitute tasabbuh (imitation of non-Muslims), which is prohibited in several hadiths? The research aims to reinterpret the classical concept of tasabbuh within the framework of a “living hadith” approach, examining whether functional imitation—without intent to emulate beliefs or identity—violates Islamic norms. Using a qualitative methodology, the study combines textual analysis of primary hadith sources (including Sunan Abi Dawud, Sahih al-Bukhari, and Musnad Ahmad) with empirical observation of Muslim consumer behavior and fatwa discourse in Indonesia. Findings reveal that tasabbuh is primarily defined by intention (niyyah) and context, not mere formal similarity. When imitation serves a legitimate purpose—such as resisting injustice, ensuring economic self-reliance, or fulfilling communal welfare—it falls outside the scope of prohibited tasabbuh. This reinterpretation aligns with higher objectives of Islamic law (maqāṣid al-sharīʿah) and classical legal maxims (qawāʿid fiqhiyyah), particularly the principle that “matters are judged by their intentions.” The study’s novelty lies in bridging textual hermeneutics with real-world activism, offering a nuanced ethical framework for Muslim economic resistance. It is recommended that Islamic institutions and scholars issue clearer guidelines distinguishing between prohibited cultural imitation and permissible functional replication, especially in contexts of political and economic justice. Such clarity can empower Muslim communities to engage in ethical consumerism without compromising religious identity.

Environmental Resilience in Arabic Literature: Eco-critical Readings of al-Wabā’ and al-Maṣābīḥ al-Zurq and Their Relevance for Sustainable Rural Development Luhuringbudi, Teguh Ismail, Achmad Satori Liza, Fitri Environmental resilience Ecocriticism Sustainable livelihoods Modern Arabic novels Sustainable rural development This study analyzes the representation of environmental resilience in two modern Arabic novels—Hānī al-Rāhib's Al-Wabā' and Ḥannā Mīnah's al-Maṣābīḥ al-Zurq—by focusing the unit of analysis on narrative elements such as characters, settings, symbolic events, and ecological metaphors that describe the community's response to environmental pressures. The purpose of this research is to explore how the representation of literature can enhance the understanding of sustainability dynamics relevant to rural development. Using a qualitative-descriptive method, this study applies three analytical approaches: ecocriticism, environmental sociology, and the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework. The findings suggest that figures such as al-Shaikh and Sheikh Abdel Jawad represent a shift away from traditional agrarian values to new forms of adaptation shaped by political instability, resource scarcity, and changes in social structures. Both novels reveal patterns of vulnerability, resilience, and livelihood strategies that reflect real processes in dealing with environmental changes. The contribution of this research lies in the designation of the role of literary works as a medium that reflects ecological pressures, as well as a conceptual tool that can enrich cross-disciplinary discussions on sustainability and provide interpretive insights that complement empirical studies of rural development.   RaSAIL Media Group, Semarang, Indonesia 2025-11-25 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Peer-reviewed Article application/pdf https://journal.rasailmedia.com/index.php/ijoris/article/view/30 10.64529/e3229y25 International Journal of Religious and Interdisciplinary Studies (IJoRIS); Vol. 2 No. 2 (2025): September; 115-130 International Journal of Religious and Interdisciplinary Studies; Vol 2 No 2 (2025): September; 115-130 3062-9527 10.64529/dvb2s082 eng https://journal.rasailmedia.com/index.php/ijoris/article/view/30/26 Copyright (c) 2025 Teguh Luhuringbudi, Achmad Satori Ismail, Fitri Liza (Author) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0

Movement and Spiritual Transformation in Pilgrimage: A Phenomenological Study of Kalpwasis at Kumbh Mela Khan, Nargis Pilgrimage Movement Spiritual Transformation Phenomenology Kalpwasis Kumbh Mela This study investigates the role of movement in shaping spiritual transformation during the pilgrimage cycle of Kalpwasis at the Kumbh Mela, using them as the central unit of analysis. The research aims to examine how each stage of the journey—departing from home, engaging in ritual practices at the sacred site, and returning to everyday life—contributes to the spiritual awareness and long-term transformation of pilgrims. Employing a phenomenological qualitative approach, the study draws on in-depth interviews and open-ended questionnaires conducted with approximately 200 Kalpwasis who resided in the Kumbh Mela camp throughout the major bathing days of 2025. Data were analyzed thematically to identify recurring patterns of experience. Findings reveal that physical movement through sacred space, combined with ritual immersion and temporary withdrawal from worldly routines, fosters heightened spiritual discipline, emotional purification, and a renewed sense of identity. A significant insight of the study is the transformative impact of the return journey, where pilgrims integrate insights gained during Kalpwas into their everyday lives, reinforcing their commitment to spiritual growth. The study recommends further longitudinal and comparative research on post-pilgrimage reintegration and encourages a broader exploration of embodied movement within Indian pilgrimage traditions to deepen theoretical understanding of cyclical spiritual practices.

Talfeeq in Sunni Islamic Jurisprudence: Classical Debates, Cross-Madhhab Analysis, and Contemporary Applications in Islamic Finance and Family Law Ganai, Zafer Ahmad Nabi, Nasir Talfeeq Islamic Law Cross-Sect Analysis Ijtihad Jama'i Maqāṣid al-Syarī'ah Sunni Madhhabs Contemporary Fatwas Islamic Legal Adaptation This article examines talfeeq as a jurisprudential phenomenon in Sunni Islamic law, utilizing units of analysis that include classical fiqh texts, cross-sectarian legal arguments, and contemporary institutional practices carried out by international fiqh institutions. This study aims to analyze the legality of talfeeq, examine the differences in views between Sunni schools regarding its capabilities, and assess its relevance in addressing modern legal, social, and economic challenges. This research employs a qualitative doctrinal method, analyzing primary fiqh sources, the opinions of authoritative scholars, and the resolutions of contemporary fiqh institutions through comparative and thematic approaches. The study's findings show that the majority of classical scholars restrict the practice of talfeeq due to concerns about legal inconsistencies and the weakening of fiqh methodologies. However, some Maliki and Hanafi scholars allow it under certain conditions. In the contemporary context, talfeeq is increasingly accepted, especially within the framework of ijtihad jama'i, especially in the fields of Islamic finance, family law, and pluralistic legal systems. This article contributes by offering a systematic comparative analysis of classical debate and modern practice, clarifying the methodological limits of talfeeq, and positioning it as an instrument for the legitimate adaptation of Islamic law when applied in a measured manner and based on maqāṣid al-sharī'ah.

From Borrowing to Shared Narratives: Reassessing Abraham Geiger's Hypothesis in the Light of Late Antique Qur'anic Intertextuality Ichwan, Moh. Nor Abraham Geiger Qur'anic intertextuality Late antiquity Shared narratives Orientalism critique This study critically reassesses Abraham Geiger's 19th-century hypothesis, which posited that the Qur'an largely borrows from rabbinic texts, through the lens of contemporary Qur'anic intertextuality and late antique studies. Drawing on Geiger's Judaism and Islam as its primary unit of analysis, alongside the Qur'anic text and early rabbinic literature, the article seeks to reposition his influential but methodologically flawed thesis within modern scholarly frameworks. Employing a historical-hermeneutic and intertextual methodology, the analysis moves beyond Geiger's reductionist "borrowing” paradigm. Key findings reveal that while Geiger's work retains heuristic value in identifying narrative parallels, it suffers from critical weaknesses: an overreliance on written-text assumptions, Orientalist bias, and a neglect of the oral cultural context of the Hijaz. The study's novelty lies in reconceptualizing these parallels not as evidence of direct dependency, but as manifestations of a dynamic shared narrative network within the late antique religious milieu. In this network, the Qur'an emerges as a creative, dialogical agent that engages, corrects, and innovates upon existing monotheistic traditions. The article contributes to Qur'anic studies by offering a historiographic critique of Orientalist methodology and by proposing a more nuanced, context-sensitive model for understanding early Islamic engagement with Jewish and Christian narratives. It recommends future multidisciplinary research integrating philology, oral anthropology, and socio-political analysis of pre-Islamic Arabia.

Religious Happiness and Spiritual Formation for Learning to Live Together in Indonesia's Plural Society Harianto, GP Religious happiness Spiritual formation Learning to live together Plural society Religious moderation Social coexistence This article examines how religious happiness and spiritual formation can serve as conceptual foundations for learning to live together in Indonesia's plural society. The unit of analysis consists of academic literature on religiosity, happiness, spiritual formation, pluralism, and social coexistence, with particular attention to studies relevant to the Indonesian context. The article aims to clarify the relationship between personal religious well-being and the social ethics of living together in a religiously diverse society. Drawing on a qualitative literature review, this study analyzes recent scholarly work to identify key conceptual patterns linking spirituality, happiness, and interreligious coexistence. The findings show that religious happiness is not limited to inward spiritual satisfaction but is also shaped by moral formation, spiritual practice, lived religious values, and service-oriented engagement with others. The novelty of this article lies in its integrative framework that connects personal spiritual formation with the civic and ethical task of sustaining social harmony in plural Indonesia. By locating religious happiness within the constitutional and Pancasila-based vision of coexistence, this study contributes a conceptual basis for developing more inclusive models of religious education, spiritual formation, and civic learning that support religious moderation, mutual respect, and social integration in contemporary Indonesia.

Paradigm Shifts in Contemporary Theology of Religions: Reconfiguring Religious Pluralism in the Twenty-First Century Ming, David Theology of Religions Religious Pluralism Comparative Theology Interreligious Dialogue Contextual Theology Digital Religion Systematic Literature Review This article investigates recent paradigm shifts in contemporary theology of religions amid the intensifying pluralism of the twenty-first century. The unit of analysis consists of academic works on the theology of religions, including peer-reviewed journal articles, scholarly books, and book chapters published primarily in the post-2000 period. The study aims to identify major intellectual developments in the field, examine how they reframe earlier typological models, and evaluate their implications for contemporary interreligious theology. Methodologically, the article employs a qualitative systematic literature review of selected publications from major academic databases, which were analyzed using thematic coding and interpretive synthesis. The review identifies four major shifts: from classical doctrinal typologies to practical-transformative pluralism; from universalist pluralism to comparative theology grounded in particular religious traditions; from liberal openness to postliberal and identity-conscious theological approaches; and from conventional interreligious concerns to new engagements with ecology, science, and digital religion. The article's novelty lies in its integrative mapping of these developments within a single analytical framework that connects doctrinal, dialogical, contextual, and public dimensions of the theology of religions. It contributes to contemporary scholarship by offering a clearer conceptualization of the field's current trajectories and by providing a foundation for more context-sensitive and globally relevant theological reflection in plural societies.

A Quasi-Experimental Study of a Community-Based Training Program to Reduce Death-Related Existential Anxiety Among Rural Elderly Women in Nineveh, Iraq Mousa, Shireen Mustafa, Iman Existential anxiety Death-related anxiety Elderly women Rural areas Psychosocial Interventions Geriatric Mental Health Quasi-Experiment Existential anxiety related to death can be a significant psychological problem among older adults, especially women living in rural settings where access to mental health support may be limited. The study examined the potential effectiveness of community-based training programs in reducing existential anxiety related to death among elderly women in rural Nineveh, Iraq. A quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test design with an unequal control group was used. The study involved 25 women aged 60-70 years, selected through purposive sampling, with 14 assigned to the intervention group and 11 to the control group. The intervention consisted of 10 sessions delivered over two weeks. Outcome assessments were conducted using the 36-item Existential Death Anxiety Scale developed by the researchers for this population. The intervention group showed a much greater decrease in anxiety scores than the control group (mean reduction = 38.64 vs. 4.18; t = 9.83, p < 0.05), and in-group analysis also showed a significant pre-post reduction in the intervention group (pre-test mean = 142.86; post-test mean = 104.22; t = 11.59, p < 0.05). These findings suggest that the program may help reduce existential anxiety related to death among rural elderly women. However, the results should be interpreted with caution due to the small, non-random sample, the use of geographically separated groups, and the absence of follow-up assessments. Larger, more rigorous studies are needed to confirm the effectiveness and long-term impact of interventions.

Challenges of Teaching Social Studies in Overcrowded Classrooms - Teachers' Perspective in Second Cycle of Basic Education in Independent Zakho Administration Fattah, Nida Solid classrooms Social studies learning Teacher perspective Upper-level basic education Classroom management Learning challenges Kurdistan Region This study aimed to identify the challenges of teaching social studies in overcrowded classrooms from the perspective of teachers in the second cycle of basic education in Independent Zakho Administration according to the following variables: gender, years of teaching experience, and grade level. The study sample included 87 male and female social studies teachers from Grades 5-6. A questionnaire consisting of 25 items was developed based on relevant literature and distributed to the research sample during October 2025. The study found statistically significant differences at the 0.05 level between the means of sample responses according to gender and years of experience variables, indicating that overcrowded classrooms significantly impact teaching effectiveness differently based on these demographic factors. However, no statistically significant differences were found regarding the grade level taught or the interaction between gender and years of experience. Based on these findings, the researcher recommended several measures, most importantly the need for educational authorities to develop policies to reduce class sizes, provide additional classroom facilities, and offer specialized training programs for teachers to manage large classes effectively.

Toward a Maqāṣid-Oriented Hermeneutics: Reinterpreting Qur'anic Migration Ethics in the Contemporary Muslim Diaspora Ichwan, Moh. Nor Qur’anic hermeneutics Maqāṣid al-sharīʿah Hijrah Forced migration Muslim diaspora Islamic ethics Tafsīr Contemporary forced migration has generated new ethical and hermeneutical questions for Muslims living as minorities across diverse diasporic settings. This article examines how key Qur'anic migration verses—Q. al-Nisāʾ 4:97–100, al-Ḥajj 22:58–60, and al-ʿAnkabūt 29:56—have been interpreted across classical and modern exegetical traditions. Using a qualitative comparative-hermeneutical method, the study analyzes selected interpretations of al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, Muḥammad ʿAbduh, Rashīd Riḍā, Fazlur Rahman, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, and Quraish Shihab. The analysis focuses on three issues: the historical-normative logic of classical tafsīr, the contextual expansion of modern readings, and the methodological tensions produced by both approaches. The article argues that classical exegesis preserves textual fidelity and historical specificity, yet often remains limited in addressing modern forms of displacement. By contrast, contemporary contextualist readings increase ethical relevance, but may insufficiently define the normative boundaries of interpretation. To address this tension, the article proposes a maqāṣid al-sharīʿah-oriented hermeneutic as a mediating framework. Such an approach enables migration verses to be read in relation to religious freedom, human dignity, protection of life, and civic belonging while remaining anchored in the moral objectives of revelation. The study contributes to Qur'anic hermeneutics, Islamic migration ethics, and contemporary Muslim diaspora studies.

A Maqāṣid-Based Framework for Managing Religious Offense: Insights from the Prophetic Sirah Meerangani, Khairul Azhar Abdul Hamid, Mohammad Fahmi Nor, Muaz Mohd Taufiqurrahman, Taufiqurrahman al-Taʿāyush Prophetic Sirah Religious Offence Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah Coexistence Ethics Plural Societies Religious offense has become an increasingly volatile phenomenon in plural societies, often triggering polarized responses that oscillate between unconditional tolerance and uncompromising severity. Within Islamic discourse, the Prophetic model of coexistence is frequently invoked but is often reduced to selective narratives that obscure its contextual ethical logic. This study re-examines al-taʿāyush through a qualitative analysis of Prophetic responses to religious offense across both the Makkan and Madinan periods. The study aims to identify the ethical parameters governing these responses and to formulate a structured framework for analyzing religious offense in plural societies. Using qualitative textual analysis, the research examines a corpus of documented Sirah incidents drawn from classical prophetic biographies and authenticated ḥadīth sources that describe cases of insult, provocation, or hostility toward religion. The narratives were analyzed using thematic coding combined with a maqāṣid-oriented analytical lens. The findings show that Prophetic responses were not uniform but structured by identifiable parameters, including intentionality, public-harm thresholds, authority configuration, consequential assessment (maʾālāt), and balancing maslaḥah–mafsadah. These findings demonstrate that al-taʿāyush functioned as a context-sensitive ethical framework rather than a simplistic ethic of tolerance. The proposed parameterization offers an analytical tool for evaluating contemporary cases of religious offense in the public sphere while maintaining ethical coherence within Islamic normative thought.
