The Role of Qur’anic Entrepreneurship Courses in Advancing Entrepreneurial Movement Initiatives among University Students in Indonesia
Abstract This study aims to examine the role of Qur’anic-based entrepreneurship courses in advancing entrepreneurial movement initiatives among university students in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative approach with a library research design, the study critically analyzes relevant scholarly literature on entrepreneurship education and Islamic higher education. The findings reveal that Qur’anic entrepreneurship courses play a significant role in cultivating students’ entrepreneurial mindset through the integration of entrepreneurial competencies with Qur’anic ethical values such as honesty, trustworthiness, and accountability. This integrative approach not only enhances students’ entrepreneurial intentions and readiness but also promotes a value-driven and sustainable entrepreneurial orientation. Furthermore, the course contributes to the development of entrepreneurial ecosystems within higher education institutions through business incubation, practice-based projects, and industry collaboration. At a broader level, the implementation of Qur’anic entrepreneurship education holds strategic implications for addressing graduate unemployment and fostering ethically grounded economic growth in Indonesia. Therefore, integrating Qur’anic values into entrepreneurship education represents an innovative and contextually relevant approach to developing adaptive, productive, and ethically responsible human capital.

IAIN Bone Academics on Rahn Collateral Utilization:Hadith Authentication and Legal Analysis
This study explores the use of pawned goods (rahn) in the perspective of hadith and its relevance in contemporary Islamic financial practices. This study aims to analyze the textual authority of rahn hadith, examine its legal implications in both classical and contemporary Islamic jurisprudence, and explore how Muslim scholars interpret its application in the Indonesian context. This research is a qualitative research with a normative-empirical design. The subjects of the study are six IAIN Bone academics who have expertise in hadith, jurisprudence, muamalat and sharia economics. Research data was collected through literature studies, semi-structured interviews and documentation. The data analysis technique is carried out through the analysis of hadith takhrij, comparative fiqh studies as well as reduction, categorization and thematic conclusions. The results of the study show that the hadith about the ability to use pawned animals has a valid status, but its application in the context of modern economics requires contextual reading. Academics tend to emphasize the principles of sharia maqashid, distributive justice and debtor protection in rahn practice. Therefore, the use of pawned goods must be limited to real cost compensation and must not be an instrument of economic exploitation in the Islamic financial system.

Sanad Authority in a Weberian Analysis of ‘Ālīy and Nāzil Transmission in al-Azkār of an-Nawawī
This paper discusses the sociology of Max Weber's Interpretive in the sanad 'Ālīy and Nāzil of the hadiths contained in the book Al-Ażkār by Imām an-Nawāwῑ. This study employs a literature review approach by analyzing relevant primary and secondary sources. The findings indicate that Max Weber’s sociology of Interpretive encompasses four key dimensions: types of social action, value and goal rationality, verstehen, and authority. This type of social action appears when Imām an-Nawāwῑ only lists the names of companions in the hadith sanad. The rationality of the value and approach of Weber's verstehen can be seen in the hadith sanad, which is summarized for the purpose of understanding and beliefs of the reader. The results of takhrij show that the first hadith narrated by Muslims has a sahih sanad and matan that corroborates QS. Al-An'ām (6:160). The second hadith narrated by at-Tirmidhi has sanad and matan daif. The third hadith narrated by Abu Daud is authentic and its matin corroborates QS. Al-Jumu'ah (62:9). The fourth hadith narrated by Abu Daud is sanad and his matan is daif, while the fifth hadith narrated by Abu Daud has sanad hasan sahih and matan that corroborates QS. Al-Ahzāb (33:56). The five hadiths show that Imām an-Nawāwῑ has a strong rationalization of religious interpretation. He understood the quality of the rawi through jarh wa ta'dil, so it is clear that religious interpretation is not only derived from revelation, but is also shaped by the structure and social dynamics of society.

Madura Academics on Qur’anic Createdness and Foundations of Islamic Language Philosophy
The debate over the creation of the Qur’an (khalq al-Qur’an) is one of the most influential controversies in the history of Islamic theology. Traditionally understood as a doctrinal dispute over divine attributes, this debate also raises deeper questions about the relationship between divine meaning and human language. However, the linguistic dimension of this debate is rarely systematically examined in contemporary science. Therefore, this study aims to reinterpret the khalq al-Qur’an debate as a discourse that reflects the conceptual understanding of different languages in the Islamic theological tradition. This study uses a qualitative theoretical design using conceptual analysis and rational reconstruction. The classical theological texts of Mu’tazilah, Ash’ariyyah, and Hanabilah are analyzed to identify key concepts related to divine utterance. In addition, empirical data was collected through interviews with contemporary Islamic scholars to provide a contextual perspective on the debate. The findings suggest that these theological schools represent three different conceptual models of language. Mu’tazilah views divine utterance as a temporal communicative act, Ash’ariyyah distinguishes between eternal meaning (kalam nafsi) and temporal linguistic expression (kalam lafẓi), and Hanabilah emphasizes the authority of the revealed text. This study concludes that the debate on the khalq al-Qur’an contains conceptual insights that can be reconstructed as a discourse on the ontology of language in the Islamic intellectual tradition.

Reception and Practice of Muhammad al-Ghazali’s Thought within the One Day One Juz Community in Medan
This study examines the reception of Muhammad al-Ghazali’s ideas as articulated in his work Kayfa Nata‘āmal ma‘a al-Qur’ān within the One Day One Juz (ODOJ) community in Medan. It focuses on how al-Ghazali’s concept of reflective engagement with the Qur’an is understood, interpreted, and practiced through the community’s daily activity of reading one juz of the Qur’an. Employing a qualitative approach with descriptive-interpretive analysis, this study explores the dynamics of this phenomenon. Three theoretical frameworks—Reception Theory, Social Practice Theory, and Cultural Transformation Theory—are applied to analyze the processes of reception, the formation of everyday religious practices, and the adaptation of classical Islamic thought within the context of modern urban Muslim life. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of community activities. The findings reveal that al-Ghazali’s teachings inspire spiritual intimacy and the cultivation of pious habits through Qur’anic recitation. The community’s reception is active and contextual, shaped by social, cultural, and digital factors. This study concludes that classical Islamic thought remains relevant and can be effectively integrated into contemporary religious movements in Indonesia.

Continuity and Change in Tuhor Practices in South Tapanuli Society: A Living Hadith Perspective
This study examines the continuity and transformation of tuhor practices in the South Tapanuli community through the perspective of living hadith. Tuhor remains a symbol of honor for women in their families and a mechanism for customary financing within the Dalihan Na Tolu structure. The increasing public understanding of hadith, particularly regarding dowry, wedding receptions, and ease of marriage, has driven changes in how tuhor is understood and practiced. Through a qualitative approach supported by in-depth interviews, observations, thematic analysis using NVivo, and bibliometric mapping with VOSviewer, this study found that tuhor has undergone new meanings: from a clearer separation from dowry, simplification of customary cost elements, to flexibility in determining it according to the family's socio-economic conditions. All of these dynamics indicate that tuhor is a form of living hadith, where the Prophet's teachings are not only understood textually, but are adapted contextually and harmoniously into the local traditions of the South Tapanuli community.

Textual and Contextual Approaches to Hijab Interpretation on Instagram
The development of social media has transformed the transmission of religious knowledge and created new spaces for Qur’anic interpretation in the digital sphere. Instagram, as a visual and interactive platform, has become an important medium for Muslim preachers to articulate interpretations of Qur’anic verses on hijab to a broad audience. Although a number of studies have examined the representation of hijab on social media, most of them focus on single-account content analysis and have not comparatively explored how Qur’anic interpretive methods are constructed by digital religious actors. This study aims to analyze the construction of thematic Qur’anic interpretation (tafsir maudhu’i) regarding hijab on the Instagram accounts @ismaelalkholilie and @ismailascholy, while identifying differences in epistemological approaches in communicating religious messages in the digital space. This research employs a qualitative approach using the thematic interpretation method by focusing on verses related to hijab, such as QS. An-Nur: 31, QS. Al-Ahzab: 53 and 59, and QS. Al-A‘raf: 26. The verses are analyzed through content analysis and comparative analysis of the highlight content on both Instagram accounts. The data consist of texts, visuals, and narrative messages, which are coded to identify patterns of argumentation, interpretive references, and strategies of religious communication. The findings reveal that both accounts construct thematic interpretations of hijab by referring to classical and contemporary tafsir literature, yet through different approaches. Ismail Al-Kholilie tends to adopt a textual-normative approach grounded in classical fiqh authority, whereas Ismail Al-Ascholy develops a contextual-narrative approach integrating linguistic, literary, and social reflections. Theoretically, this study demonstrates that thematic Qur’anic interpretation on social media is undergoing methodological transformation toward a model of digital tafsir that integrates scholarly authority, visual communication strategies, and platform logic in shaping contemporary religious discourse.

Christian Engagement with The Qur'an in Egypt: A Sociological and Phenomenological Study of Interreligious Tolerance and Social Coexistence
This study explores how Egyptian Christians engage with the Qur’an in everyday settings and how these engagements shape interfaith relations and religious tolerance. The study employed a qualitative-descriptive method within a sociological and phenomenological framework, involving 40 Christian participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and observation, and analyzed thematically to identify recurring meanings, practices, and social mechanisms associated with Christians’ interactions with the Qur’an. The findings reveal that the Qur’an functions as a public text embedded in Egypt’s social life, and Christians experience it both as a cultural and moral reference. Continuous auditory exposure to Qur’anic recitations produces a form of “ethical soundscape,” allowing Christians to experience the Qur’an aesthetically and affectively, even outside its theological boundaries. Reading and studying the Qur’an often stimulate empathy and ethical reflection, transforming curiosity into compassion. Such engagement contributes to cognitive understanding, emotional resonance, and behavioral openness toward Muslims. The study concludes that the Qur’an, beyond being an Islamic scripture, operates as a social bridge that strengthens interfaith coexistence. Through phenomenological listening and ethical interpretation, Egyptian Christians develop an affective tolerance rooted in shared moral values, indicating that sacred texts can act as catalysts of mutual respect and human solidarity in plural societies.

Sanad Authenticity, Radicalism, and Religious Moderation in Sumenep’s Rumah Tahfiz: A Parsonsian Functional Analysis
This study arises from the rapid increase in rumah tahfiz (Qur’an memorization centers) in Sumenep Regency, which raises concerns regarding the quality of Qur’anic memorization among instructors, particularly the authenticity of their sanad, as well as the religious teachings and ideological orientations transmitted to students. The novelty of this research lies in its integrated examination of three interconnected dimensions: sanad, religious orientation, and the potential for radicalism, in order to understand the position of rumah tahfiz within local religious dynamics. This qualitative case study focuses on five rumah tahfiz in Sumenep, utilizing in-depth interviews with instructors, direct observations, and document analysis, interpreted through Talcott Parsons’ structural–functional theory. The findings indicate that only three rumah tahfiz possess a clear and traceable sanad. Overall, the instructors display a moderate religious orientation rooted in pesantren traditions and apply various mechanisms to prevent the infiltration of radical ideologies into the educational process. These findings underscore that sanad serves not only as a marker of scholarly authority but also as a significant factor in shaping a moderate and secure educational environment within rumah tahfiz institutions and the surrounding community.

Integrating Thematic Tafsir of Qur’an Surah Al-‘Alaq with Local Wisdom-Based Learning Media: An Islamic Education Model for Generation Z in West Sumatra
Efforts to develop Islamic learning media that integrate Qur’anic values with local wisdom remain limited, even though Generation Z-as digital natives, and the main users of digital tool- still requires approaches that are relevant to both culturally grounded and religiously relevant. This study examines the philosophy of Adat Basandi Syarak, Syarak Basandi Kitabullah (ABS-SBK) as a framework for aligning local wisdom with Qur’anic values, particularly through the utilization of Qur’anic verses in character building. The research seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of digital learning media, identify the implementation challenges, propose an integration model of the tafseer of Quran surah Al-‘Alaq with ABS-SBK, and analyze its implications for Islamic learning among Generation Z. A qualitative case study was conducted using an in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation. The findings reveal that integrating the tafsir of QS. Al-‘Alaq with the ABS-SBK philosophy fosters student engagement, supports contextualized learning, and reinforces the Minangkabau Islamic cultural identity. Challenges include infrastructure limitations, educators’ technological skills, and content validation processes. The proposed model combines thematic tafsir with ABS-SBK-based multimedia content, enhanced through gamification and digital storytelling. This study highlights the importance of collaboration among scholars, educators, and technology developers in designing innovative and value-based Islamic learning media for Generation Z.

Taujih al-Qiraat and Its Hermeneutical Implications in Surah Yunus
This study examines the phenomenon of taujih al-qiraat and its hermeneutical implications in Surah Yunus, focusing on how variations among the ten canonical Qur'anic readings generate layers of linguistic and theological meaning. It identifies forty-one loci of farsh al-huruf and verifies them through four parameters: rasm (orthographic framework), dabt (diacritical precision), lughawi (lexical plausibility), and nahwi/sarfi (grammatical and morphological validity). The research adopts a descriptive-analytical method integrating classical philology with modern linguistic verification to establish a transparent and replicable model of analysis. The results show that the variants in Surah Yunus function as a structured system of semantic plurality rather than random recitational differences. Ten representative loci reveal that phonetic variations preserve the rhythm of recitation, minor semantic variations influence rhetorical emphasis, and major semantic variations shape theological interpretation. These findings confirm that taujih al-qiraat serves as both a linguistic and hermeneutical framework linking structure and meaning in the Qur'an. The study concludes that the diversity of readings in Surah Yunus reflects divine intentionality within the boundaries of the Arabic language. By aligning classical verification with contemporary analysis, it offers a verifiable model for understanding how linguistic variation contributes to the Qur'an’s interpretive depth and theological coherence.

Evolution of Qur’anic Exegetical Methods in Aceh through Hermeneutic and Sociological Lenses
Qur’anic interpretation in Aceh has developed in tandem with shifting social, political, and cultural conditions, producing distinct exegetical profiles across historical periods. This study traces the evolution of interpretive methods in Aceh through hermeneutic and sociological lenses in order to show how the sacred text is understood, interpreted, and enacted in communal life. Using a qualitative design, the analysis applies a hermeneutic sociological approach to primary sources that include Abdurrauf as Singkili’s Tarjuman al Mustafid and contemporary Acehnese tafsir and sermon materials, supported by academic secondary literature. Findings indicate a trajectory from a Sufi and fiqh oriented profile that foregrounds spiritual and normative dimensions, to a rational modern turn disseminated through sermons and print media, and finally to a hermeneutic sociological approach that places the text in active dialogue with post conflict realities and the formalization of Sharia through qanun. The results show that methodological change is not linear but context responsive and that tafsir functions as a social practice that mediates norms, education, and public policy.

Qur’anic Resilience and Self-Esteem of Bullying Victims at SMPN 23 Tangerang
This study examines efforts to strengthen the self-esteem of students who experience bullying at SMPN 23 Tangerang through the development of Qur’anic-based resilience. The research aims to protect students from the psychological consequences of bullying and to support their recovery from cognitive, emotional, and mental distress. Employing a qualitative case study design, the study involved two guidance and counseling teachers, the PIK-R student organization, and four students who had experienced bullying. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using data reduction, data display, verification, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that bullying at SMPN 23 Tangerang generates significant cognitive, emotional, and mental pressures, with victims exhibiting low to moderate levels of self-esteem—manifested in feelings of hurt, fear, trauma, school avoidance, shame, and even self-harm ideation. These negative effects were mitigated by guidance and counseling teachers through the cultivation of Qur’anic resilience, encompassing patience, positive thinking, reliance on Allah, optimism, and empathy. The study concludes that Qur’anic resilience equips bullied students with the capacity to endure and recover from adverse experiences, ultimately enhancing their confidence, sense of self-worth, and self-acceptance in social interactions and daily life challenges.

Sufism and the Qur'an: An Analysis of MPTT-I’s Qur'anic Interpretation
This study is a qualitative investigation aimed at understanding and analyzing the Sufi interpretative model within the Majelis Pengkajian Tauhid–Tasawuf Indonesia (MPTT-I) movement. As one of the modern Sufi movements that has influenced Acehnese society and communities beyond, MPTT-I is characterized by its strong integration of Qur’anic teachings in the transmission of Sufi education. This feature is clear in the writings of its murshid, the explanations of his khalifah, and its principal textual references. Data were collected through observation, interviews, content analysis, and a literature review to identify the interpretative approaches employed by this movement. The study concludes that MPTT-I utilizes several types of Sufi exegesis, including ishārī (esoteric), naẓarī (theoretical esoteric), and exoteric Sufi interpretations. These findings indicate that the movement affirms the inward dimensions of Qur’anic meaning while also acknowledging its outward, literal dimensions. Furthermore, the study suggests that MPTT-I synthesizes two major Sufi traditions: practical Sufism and philosophical Sufism.

The Postponement of Eid al-Fitr Prayer on Tuesdays and Fridays in Kaluppini: A Living Hadith Study
This study examines the phenomenon of postponing Eid al-Fitr celebrations when it coincides with a Tuesday or Friday in Kaluppini Village, Enrekang Regency, using a living hadith framework. The research adopts a qualitative methodology with a descriptive–analytical approach. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, involving four purposively selected informants: a religious scholar, the village head, a community leader, and a traditional elder. The findings indicate that the postponement of Eid al-Fitr is supported by three interrelated foundations. The formative foundation derives from prophetic traditions concerning the determination of the beginning and end of Ramadan, as well as the Islamic principle of facilitation (taysīr). The scientific foundation is based on the authority of local experts known as pandai tanda, who are perceived as possessing specialized knowledge in calendrical interpretation. The mythological foundation arises from the communal belief that holding major events on a Tuesday or Friday may invite misfortune. This findings illustrates how local belief systems shape religious practice and highlights the dynamic interaction between hadith and indigenous cultural norms. Furthermore, the practice reflects several Sunnah-oriented values, including consultation (musyāwarah), communal welfare (maṣlaḥah), and the integration of worldly and spiritual considerations. The study concludes that living hadith significantly influences the formation of localized religious practices, demonstrating a synergistic relationship between Islamic traditions and local cultural contexts.

Qur’anic Therapeutic Spiritual Communication for Students Involved in Cyberbullying from Broken Home Families
This study explores the delivery of Qur’anic spiritual messages by Islamic Education teachers to students from broken home families who are either victims or perpetrators of cyberbullying. The aim is to foster awareness of the importance of ethical interaction on social media and to develop emotional, mental, and spiritual resilience. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research involved four Islamic Education teachers, two homeroom teachers, and five students from broken home backgrounds. Data were collected through observation and interviews, and analyzed using data reduction, data display, verification, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that a broken home environment can trigger students to become both victims and perpetrators of cyberbullying. As victims, students are at risk of psychological, emotional, and mental distress. As perpetrators, they may experience moral degradation and diminished humanity. The study concludes that the harmful effects of cyberbullying on students from broken home families can be mitigated through the therapeutic stimulation of Qur’anic spiritual messages, focusing on moral conduct, life principles, repentance, patience, and positive thinking.

Reframing Nusyuz in Islamic Family Law: A Maqasid-Based Reading of Ibn Asyur on Quran 4:34 and 4:128
This article examines the Quranic concept of nusyuz through Ibn Asyur’s al Tahrir wa al Tanwir and develops a maqasid oriented account for addressing marital conflict in contemporary Muslim families. The study adopts a qualitative library based method that closely reads Q 4.34 and Q 4.128 and triangulates classical fiqh writings thematic exegesis and recent scholarship on family law. The analysis shows that nusyuz is a relational breach that may be committed by either spouse and that Ibn Asyur proposes a gradual and ethically constrained sequence that begins with counsel then proceeds to separation of beds and only allows corrective action that must remain symbolic and non violent while prioritizing mediation whenever harm is likely. Reading the two verses together yields a symmetrical framework that protects dignity prevents harm and restores rights by aligning procedural steps with the objectives of justice compassion and public welfare. The article concludes that this maqasid based synthesis offers a text faithful and context sensitive basis for counseling adjudication and policy in Islamic family law and it recommends empirical evaluation in courts counseling services and community mediation to assess feasibility safeguards and effectiveness.

A Hadith-Based Love Curriculum in Islamic Education: An Initiative by Indonesia’s Ministry of Religious Affairs
This study examines the concept of the “Love-based Curriculum” initiated by the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia through the perspective of the prophetic hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The research focuses on identifying, classifying, and analyzing hadiths that represent the values of love for God (ḥablum minallāh), love for fellow human beings (ḥablum minannās), love for the environment, and love for the homeland. Employing a qualitative approach through a library-based study, this research applies the method of takhrīj al-ḥadīth, followed by sanad and matan criticism to assess the authenticity of the hadiths utilized. This study is conducted to address the existing gap in the development of Islamic education curricula that explicitly draw upon prophetic traditions as primary sources of educational values. The findings reveal that out of 54 identified hadith, the majority are classified as ṣaḥīḥ (authentic) and are appropriate to serve as normative foundations for formulating a value-based curriculum centered on love. These traditions demonstrate a strong correlation with the values of tolerance, empathy, ecological responsibility, and national spirit. The results underscore the urgency of integrating prophetic teachings into the design of an Islamic education curriculum that is more holistic, transformative, and humanistic. A hadith-based Love Curriculum holds substantial potential in shaping a learning ecosystem that not only fosters intellectual excellence but also cultivates moral integrity, strengthens social harmony, and promotes the development of a robust national character.

Internalizing Qawlan Ethics Through the Living Qur’an: A Study Among Santriwati at Dayah Al-Muslimun, Aceh
Communication plays a vital role in shaping the ethical and spiritual character of santriwati (female students at Islamic boarding schools). This study explores the internalization of Qur’anic communication principles—qawlan layyīna (gentle speech), qawlan karīmā (noble speech), and qawlan ma’rūfā (appropriate speech)—within the lived experiences of santriwati at Dayah Terpadu Al-Muslimun in Aceh, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach grounded in phenomenology, data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, and analyzed thematically using Miles and Huberman’s model. Findings indicate that santriwati’s understanding of qawlan is shaped more by social experience and role modeling than by textual memorization. These principles are practiced adaptively in both hierarchical and peer interactions and contribute to the formation of moral resilience, communicative empathy, and Islamic identity. The study affirms that qawlan functions as a form of living moral grammar—an embodied ethical structure that regulates speech, intention, and social behavior in and beyond the dayah. This research extends the framework of the Living Qur’an from normative interpretation to performative praxis and offers a theoretical and practical foundation for developing Qur’anic-based communication ethics curricula responsive to the challenges of the digital era.

Optimizing Marriage Law through Acehnese Customs: A Qur’anic Perspective
This study aims to examine how Acehnese marriage customs play a role in optimizing the implementation of Islamic law by making the Qur'an the main analytical tool. Aceh, as a special region that implements Islamic law, has strong local traditions, especially in marriage practices. However, the interaction between customs and sharia is often understood partially, without a normative review based on revelation. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach and thematic interpretation (maudhū‘ī) of relevant verses of the Qur'an. The results of the study show that traditions such as jak ba ranup (proposal), peuneuwoe (dowry), and khanduri (walimah) functionally support sharia values, such as maintaining kinship, affirming the rights and obligations of husband and wife, and maintaining family honor. These customs can be accepted as a form of 'urf ṣaḥīḥ as long as they do not conflict with the nash sharia. This study concludes that the integration between custom and sharia is a reflection of the flexibility of Islam in responding to local culture and is an effective strategy for implementing maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah in marriage practices. This finding provides an important contribution to the development of cultural fiqh and the strengthening of Islamic values ​​in a multicultural society.

The Living Application of Qur’anic Legal Norms in the Indonesian Legal System: A Systematic Review of Ayat al-Aḥkam
This article systematically examines how Qur’anic legal verses (ayat al-aḥkām) have been implemented in Indonesia’s formal legal system between 2010 and 2024. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach guided by the PRISMA 2020 protocol, nine peer-reviewed journal articles were selected from seven academic databases. The findings indicate that the legislative reception of ayat al-aḥkām varies significantly across legal domains. Economic law shows the most structured integration, with verses on zakat, riba, and halal consumption codified through clear statutory instruments and supported by functional institutions. In contrast, criminal law provisions—such as hand-amputation and public lashing—face hermeneutic reinterpretation and procedural constraints, limiting their operational impact. Family law demonstrates interpretive adaptability, where issues like polygamy and inheritance are mediated through maqāṣid-oriented readings and legal safeguards. Rather than static injunctions, these verses exhibit a living character—negotiated, reinterpreted, and embodied within contemporary legal and institutional settings. Across domains, Qur’anic legal norms “live” through contextual engagement with doctrinal consensus, institutional readiness, and political feasibility. These findings reaffirm Indonesia’s dynamic and negotiated approach to Islamic legal integration, suggesting that future Qur’an-based legislation will depend as much on contextual alignment as on textual authority.

Generation Z’s Understanding of Qur'anic Verses and Hadiths Regarding Zakat al-Mal: A Case Study in Banda Aceh
This study examines the level of understanding among Generation Z in Banda Aceh regarding Qur’anic verses and hadiths related to zakat mal, utilizing a quantitative approach based on seven cognitive indicators: interpreting, explaining, exemplifying, classifying, summarizing, comparing, and inferring. Data were collected through an online questionnaire distributed via Google Forms to 105 respondents. The results indicate a moderate level of comprehension, with the following scores: explaining (69.20%), classifying (68.95%), inferring (68.69%), exemplifying (68.25%), comparing (68.06%), summarizing (67.04%), and interpreting (66.98%). Explaining emerged as the strongest indicator, while interpreting was the weakest. Although the respondents demonstrated a fair understanding of Zakat al-Mal, further educational efforts are needed to deepen both their conceptual and contextual understanding of this Islamic obligation. This study provides empirical insights for educational institutions and religious authorities to enhance Zakat al-Mal literacy among Generation Z and serves as a foundation for future research on the socio-economic application of Zakat.

The Thought and Methodology of Al-Baghawi in Masabih al-Sunnah: Implications for Contemporary Hadith Studies
This research comprehensively examines the book Masabih al-Sunnah, focusing on its methodology, al-Baghawi's distinctive and controversial terminologies, and and the implications for the study of Contemporary Hadith. The study employs a descriptive-analytical method to outline the book’s fundamental structure and critically elaborate on its content. The approach utilized is a book analysis study (bahth al-kutub), which analyze both the structure and methodology employed by the author. Based on the composition of the book, it can be concluded that, al-Baghawi tends to use the al-jawami' method, which invilve omitting the sanad of the hadiths, except for the names of companions when necessary. In this book, the term al-Sihhah refers to all the hadiths narrated by Bukhari and Muslim in the Sahihayn. While the term al-Hisan refers to the hadiths narrated by Abu Dawud, al-Tirmidhi, and other imam of hadith. Al-Baghawi’s work includes 28 chapters, 277 subchapters, and a total of 4.931 hadiths, of which 2.504 are classified as ṣaḥīḥ and 2.432 as ḥasan.
A Comparative Analysis of Semitic Rhetorical Analysis, Hermeneutics, and Biblical Criticism in Qur’anic Studies: Methodological Approaches and Challenges
This article examines Semitic Rhetorical Analysis (SRA), Hermeneutics, and Biblical Criticism as applied methodologies for interpreting the Qur'an. Using a qualitative, library-based research approach, the study investigates how each method engages in textual analysis, highlighting their distinctive approaches and areas of intersection. The findings indicate that SRA, with its emphasis on symmetrical patterns and cohesive structures, aligns closely with the Qur'an’s rhetorical framework, effectively revealing its intricate composition, as seen in Surah Al-Fajr. In contrast, Hermeneutics and Biblical Criticism- while effective for analyzing Biblical texts- face theological and methodological limitations when applied to the Qur'an due to fundamental differences in the formation and theological contexts of the sacred texts. The study advocates for an integrative methodology that respects the distinct nature of the Qur'anic text while fostering cross-methodological dialogue. This research contributes to the field of religious studies by promoting interfaith engagement and deepening scholarly understanding of the Qur'an within a rigorous comparative framework.

Politics and Ideology in Qur’anic Translation: A Comparative Analysis Between the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs Translation and the Hilali-Khan Translation
This study explores the ideological and cultural influences on the interpretation of Qur'anic verses through a comparative analysis of the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag) translation from Indonesia and the translation by Muhammad Taqi al-Din al-Hilali and Muhammad Muhsin Khan from Saudi Arabia. Focusing on theological, political, and gender themes, this study examines key verses addressing concepts such as tauhid (the oneness of God), awliyā’ (relations between Muslims and non-Muslims), and gender roles. The Kemenag translation reflects Indonesia's pluralistic and inclusive policies, promoting interfaith harmony, mutual respect, and gender equality. On the other hand, the Hilali-Khan translation adheres to a literal framework influenced by Wahhabi ideology, emphasizing theological exclusivity and traditional gender hierarchies. These differences highlight the impact of socio-political contexts on Qur'anic translation strategies and their implications for societal perceptions and theological discourse. Through a comparative textual and discourse analysis approach, this study demonstrates that inclusive and context-aware translations contribute to promoting justice, tolerance, and social cohesion. The findings underscore the need to balance theological fidelity with socio-political responsiveness to serve diverse Muslim societies.

Negotiating Translators, State, and Local Communities: The Genealogy of Qur'anic Translation in the Jambi Malay Language
This article explores the ideological negotiations involved in the establishment process of the Al-Qur’an and Terjemahnyo: Bahaso Melayu Jambi (QTBMJ), a Qur’anic translation project supported by the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs. This study investigates how the process of vernacularizing the Qur’an into Jambi Malay reflects the interaction between state ideology, translator agency, and local cultural values. Utilizing Michel Foucault’s framework of power relations combined with a descriptive-analytical method, this study focuses on examining the archival documents, interview reports, and content analysis related to QTBMJ. It was found that the word choice of Qur’anic vocabulary in QTBMJ is not considered a neutral linguistic act but rather a result of negotiation process between religious, political, and social ideologies. Another concern is due to translation choices concerning gender-sensitive terms (e.g., qawwamun, al-nisā’, nafs wahidah) and how these reflect the broader shifts in religious and gender discourse in Indonesia. This article argues that the translation of the Qur’an into a local language is a complex process that involved dynamic interaction between state authority, translator subjectivity, and moral tradition of the local community. This study will contribute to the growing literature on Vernacular Islam, Qur’anic Translation, and The Language of Political Religious in Southeast Asia.

Accessibility and Effectiveness of Qur’anic Braille Instruction for Visually Impaired Students: A Case Study at BUKESRA, Banda Aceh
This study aims to analyze the accessibility and effectiveness of Qur'anic Braille instruction for blind students at SDLB Bukesra Ulee Kareng, Banda Aceh. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected through interviews, observations, and questionnaires. The findings reveal that the school has developed an effective inclusive learning system by providing Braille Qur'ans and implementing various teaching methods such as A-to-Z, Synthetic Structural Analysis (SAS), left-code technique, and talaqqi. Teachers also offer individualized support to address learning challenges. Students generally master reading and writing the Qur'an in Braille within an average of three months and have achieved recognition in local Braille Qur'an reading competitions. Nevertheless, the study identifies several challenges, including limited availability of Braille Qur'ans in the dormitory, the absence of the “Nun Wiqayah” symbol in Braille scripts, and a shortage of trained professionals. These findings highlight the need for enhanced resources and institutional support to optimize Qur'anic learning for blind students.

Cultural and Linguistic Dimensions in the Formation of Qur’anic Orthography: A Study of Rasm Variation in Early Muṣḥafs
This article explores the cultural and linguistic factors involved in the formation of Qur’anic orthography through an examination of rasm variation as preserved in the early codification tradition of the muṣḥaf. The discussion centers on two recurrent cases, namely the writing of raḥmat and raḥmah and that of al aykah and laykah, which display differing orthographic forms across several widely used muṣḥaf editions. The analysis draws on data from the Madinah, Indo Pak, Al Azhar, and Indonesian muṣḥafs issued by Lajnah Pentashihan Mushaf Al Qur’an, and is informed by classical rasm sources such as al Muqniʿ by al Dānī and Kitāb al Maṣāḥif by Ibn Abī Dāwūd. A comparative reading of these materials shows that variations in spelling, including the use of tāʾ maftūḥah and tāʾ marbūṭah as well as the alternation between hamzah qaṭʿ and hamzah waṣl, follow consistent patterns rather than occurring arbitrarily. In the case of raḥmat, orthographic choice is closely tied to syntactic position and semantic function, particularly in iḍāfah constructions. Variants of al aykah and laykah likewise reflect early scribal practices shaped by regional pronunciation, oral transmission, and the absence of fully standardized writing norms during the formative period of Qur’anic codification. These findings indicate that Qur’anic orthographic variation should be understood within the framework of the ʿUthmānī rasm as a historically situated writing system that accommodated linguistic diversity while maintaining textual stability. Orthographic plurality, in this sense, does not undermine the integrity of the Qur’anic text but instead reveals the intellectual and cultural strategies through which the early Muslim community preserved both recitation and meaning.

A Study of Nusantara Arba‘īn Hadith Literature: Genealogy, Characteristics, and the Dynamics of Its Composition
Historical evidence shows that Hadith literature in the Nusantara experienced a revival and golden age in the 20th century, marked by the emergence of arba‘īn-style compilations. This article aims to investigate the genealogy of the structure and themes found in these arba‘īn works. Employing historical and content analysis methods, the study follows three key stages: data reduction, display, and interpretation. The analysis was supported by the ATLAS.ti application as an analytical tool. The findings reveal that during the 20th century, three notable arba‘īn-style works emerged: at-Tarmasī’s collection of 22 Tṡulāṡiyyāt al-Bukhārī hadiths; Hāsyim Asy‘arī’s compilation, intended as ethical and devotional guidance for members of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU); and al-Fadānī’s compilation of 40 hadiths sourced from 40 different books and scholars. These works laid the foundational model for arba‘īn-style hadith writing in the Nusantara. The thematic focuses of the texts also vary: at-Tarmasī emphasizes the virtues of religious practices, Hāsyim Asy‘arī highlights the Prophet Muhammad’s moral teachings, and al-Fadānī concentrates on Islamic legal principles governing human relations with God and all living beings.

The Representation of Muslim Women on Digital Platforms: Contestation and Fragmented Reception on Instagram’s QuranReview Account
The representation of women in digital spaces has become a critical area of inquiry, as social media now serves not only as a medium for religious dissemination but also as a contested arena for discourse that shapes the social construction of Muslim communities. While previous studies have examined Qur’anic interpretations of women within academic and mainstream media contexts, limited attention has been paid to how these interpretations are constructed and publicly received on digital platforms—particularly Instagram, with its distinctive visual and interactive features. This study aims to analyze how the Instagram account @QuranReview represents Qur’anic interpretations related to women and to identify the patterns of public reception toward such content. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach and guided by reception theory, data were collected over a three-month period through the content analysis of 21 women-focused posts and 228 user comments, supplemented by non-participant observation. Thematic analysis using systematic coding procedures revealed a key finding: there has been a shift in interpretive authority from traditional scholars to digital figures who function as religious influencers in online spaces. This shift is accompanied by three dominant patterns of reception: progressive-affirmative, conservative-resistant, and critical-reflective. These findings underscore the urgency of re-evaluating the legitimacy of religious interpretation in the digital age and call for further studies that explore platform diversity and algorithmic influences in shaping public religious discourse.
