    Baba, Mastang Ambo; Zainal, Nur Fitriani; Subeitan, Syahrul Mubarak (Institut Agama Islam Negeri (IAIN) Sultan Amai Gorontalo, 2023-12-05)
    This research aims to analyze the concept and implementation of religious moderation at two State Islamic Religious Universities (PTKIN), namely IAIN Manado and IAIN Sultan Amai Gorontalo. In qualitative research with a sociological approach, the research results show that the two PTKINs have succeeded in implementing the concept of religious moderation by prioritizing moderate attitudes, tolerance, and dialogue between religious believers in the campus environment. However, challenges such as skepticism and negative perceptions of religious moderation remain obstacles. The role of lecturers and education staff has a significant impact in supporting the implementation of religious moderation. Training programs and special initiatives have proven effective in increasing understanding and awareness of religious moderation among the academic community.

  • Reinterpretation of Women's Inheritance Rights in Islam: A Study Qs. Al-Nisā’/4: 11

    Suhra, Sarifa; Kallang, Abdul; Misdah (Institut Agama Islam Negeri (IAIN) Sultan Amai Gorontalo, 2023-12-05)
    One of the problems that arise after death is regarding the distribution of property to whom and how much share will be obtained, this has been regulated in Islamic inheritance law, but an issue that until now is often debated and prone to conflict in the family is the inheritance rights of women who in the Islamic inheritance system are different from men so that there is a stigma that Islamic inheritance law tends to be discriminatory and gender biased,  This is due to the assumption that the inheritance system in Islam is something patent and cannot be changed, whereas the formulation of inheritance in the books of fiqh is the interpretation of scholars in the social setting where the ulama live, therefore it is necessary to reinterpret the inheritance system for women because the law is actually a social response that will continue to interact with the social construction of community life.
  • The Analysis of Fatwa of Indonesian Ulema Council in West Java Province on Marketing Product for Ecco Racing

    Mustofa (Institut Agama Islam Negeri (IAIN) Sultan Amai Gorontalo, 2023-12-05)
    This study emerged from the concern of the Muslim community regarding the circulation of businesses that use a multi-level marketing system in the form of multi-level marketing for Eco Racing products. Due to this concern, the Indonesian Ulema Council (Majelis Ulama Indonesia=MUI) issued a fatwa to respond to this product. This research aims to analyze the istinbat method by the MUI to reduce disputes among the people in their worship and muamalah. This qualitative research uses a literature approach: examining the MUI fatwa decision using several fiqh literature and scientific articles related to the MUI istinbat method. The research results show that the decision of MUI in West Java Province needs a complete review of the Eco Racing marketing system and the Islamic concept of muamalah. It is due to two things, including the imperfect explanation from PT BEST management to the MUI fatwa commission in West Java Province regarding the mechanism for regulating the Eco Racing product sales and bonus system and the limited number of experts in the MUI fatwa commission by existing knowledge. It is needed to respond to the dynamic development of sharia economics in Indonesia, especially in West Java.
  • The Ideality of Pancasila and Reality of Maqaashid Syariah

    Miskari; Mhd. Syahnan; Hasan Matsum (Institut Agama Islam Negeri (IAIN) Sultan Amai Gorontalo, 2023-12-05)
    This study discusses the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, which is not a religious state, but the Pancasila, produced based on a formulation of taste, nobility, customs, culture, religion, and beliefs that exist and grow in Indonesia. Because Pancasila was born from the womb of the Indonesian nation, even though the majority of the population is Muslim, Pancasila has succeeded in establishing itself as the basis of the state, state philosophy, and state ideology for many years now. It shows how powerful and great Pancasila is. However, recently, Pancasila has again clashed with Islam. Pancasila is considered a taghut system, created by infidels, and a secular system that is no longer relevant to the life of the Indonesian nation, which is predominantly Muslim. This research uses a qualitative approach with literature research methods. Primary and secondary data are from books, articles, news, and journals. The theory used in this research is the maqashid sharia approach as a cognitive, open, comprehensive, hierarchical, multidimensional, and purposeful system. Hence, it is found that the ideality of Pancasila rests on the reality of the Indonesian nation's activities in implementing the substantive values of Pancasila and Islam, not on its format. So, it was found that Pancasila and Islam met simultaneously in protecting their people, especially in protecting religion, soul, reason, property, lineage, and honor.

    Fuji Sunu, Handika; Pagar; Adly, M. Amar (Institut Agama Islam Negeri (IAIN) Sultan Amai Gorontalo, 2023-12-05)
    This study aims to introduce the concept of shared parenting as a solution to child custody disputes in religious courts. This research is a normative legal research, by analyzing the decision of Tarempa Religious Court Number 27/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Trp, the decision of Tarakan Religious Court Number 408/Pdt.G/2019/PA. Tar, and decision of Syar'iyah Kualasimpang Court Number 50/Pdt.G/2021/MS.Ksg. The results of this study show that the concept of shared parenting is one of the right choices to resolve child custody cases, this pattern is taken to break up situations when both parents fight each other for the right to hadanah. With this concept of co-parenting, it is hoped that after divorce, the relationship between parents and children will continue to be good and harmonious. The implementation of the concept of shared parenting in disputes in religious courts can be found in two products, namely rulings and peace deeds. The peace deed is also in the form of a ruling, but more specifically related to the legitimacy of the peace agreement that occurs in the mediation process, both within the court and outside the court.
  • Dynamics of Al-Qur'an Interpretation in Contemporary Thought (Case Study of Tafsir Al-Manar)

    Zuhri, Ahmad (Institut Agama Islam Negeri (IAIN) Sultan Amai Gorontalo, 2023-12-05)
    Tulisan ini bertujuan menemukan paradigma tafsir al-Manar dalam beberapa pandangan ulama yang memuji dan mengkritik serta dalam menginterpretasikan Al-Qur’an. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian kualitatif, penelitian ini menghasilkan data deskripsi. Temuan dalam tulisan ini adalah Rasyid Muhammad Ridha menggunakan metode tahlili (analisis) yang bercorak adabi wa ijtima'iy (sastra dan kemasyarakatan). dua hal penting yang menjadi pijakan dalam penulisan al-Manar, yaitu pandangan penulis al-Manar tentang hakikat tafsir dan pandangannya tentang al-Qur`an. Dua pandangan tersebut bisa disebut sebagai paradigma penafsiran yang mendasari kerja interpretasi al-Qur`an yang dilakukan oleh penulis al-Manar. Bahkan dalam konteks penafsiran al-Qur`an Muhammad ‘Abduh berpandangan bahwa apabila terjadi pertentangan antara teks dengan akal, maka posisi akal diprioritaskan, dengan cara menempuh metode takwil. Kirik atas tafsir al-Manar; Syaikh Muhammad Rasyid Ridha adalah mufassir yang terlalu berani dalam menggunakan teori-teori seorang mendukung untuk ilmiah penafsirannya. Sehingga terkadang dirasakan adanya usaha membenar-benarkan teori ilmiah, sekalipun yang belum mapan dengan ayat-ayat al-Qur'an
  • The Importance of Prophetic Communication Principles (A Critical Study of the Hadith of Communication)

    Tasbih; Hafid, Saidah A. (Institut Agama Islam Negeri (IAIN) Sultan Amai Gorontalo, 2023-12-05)
    This article describes the principle of prophetic communication in the Hadith. This type of research is qualitative. The primary data source is Kitab Shahih al-Bukhari. in comparison, the secondary data comes from related references. The research instrument uses the HadisSoft application. We discuss ten hadiths on prophetic communication, categorized into three points. Content analysis explicitly and implicitly extracts the principles of prophetic communication in Hadith to conclude. The analysis results show that the focus of prophetic communication is honesty. Honesty is a prophetic identity that must be attached to every form of communication. The implication is that violating honesty as a principle of communication is equivalent to breaking human interests. This article's main contribution is to enrich Hadith's study from the perspective of communication, which is still lacking. Research on the principles of prophetic communication in Hadith can be developed, for example, the ethics of communication between cultures.

    This article aims to discuss marriage agreements in strengthening family resilience in Indonesia and tries to implement them with a different concept than the previous concept through the basis of Maqashid Syariah as its construction epistemology. This article is a juridical-normative research, which uses the maqashid sharia approach and gender through descriptive-qualitative analysis. This article finds that marriage agreements in Indonesia are described or based on several existing laws, including; the Civil Code, Marriage Law (UUP), and Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI). The marriage agreement must be implemented because the marriage agreement itself is considered very important to be formed by each family because it can lead the family to become sakinah, mawadah, and waramah. In addition, marriage agreements, both formal and substantial, need to be revised in detail and not discriminate so that they have a new concept that is more up-to-date and represents legal objectives so that it can strengthen the resilience of families in Indonesia, the impact of which is to reduce the ever-increasing divorce.

  • The Construction of Islamic Law on the Law on Halal Product Assurance from the Maqashid Sharia Perspective (Law No. 33 of 2014 and Law No. 11 of 2020 Article 48)

    Fachrudin, Fachri; Suretno, Sujian; Muslim; Kohar, Ade; Mailana, Agus (Institut Agama Islam Negeri (IAIN) Sultan Amai Gorontalo, 2023-06-15)
    This article describes the construction of Islamic law on the halal product guarantee law that applies in Indonesia. The shifting of operators in halal product guarantees from private institutions to the government has strong legitimacy, which requires business actors to comply. The status of halal certification has increased from voluntary to mandatory in line with the 1945 constitution, and Sharia principles should be achieved. However, the weakness of this law is that there are no strict sanctions for business actors who need to certify their products. This type of research is an explanatory qualitative with a mashed Sharia approach and a review of Islamic law. The research findings show that Sharia obligations that do not contain legal sanctions cause individuals or groups not to comply; this has implications for Muslim consumers being unprotected from the need for halal products because there are still many products that are not halal certified. In conclusion, the construction of Islamic law regarding the guarantee of halal products in Indonesia is still weak but better than before.

    Fauzan; Rohmadi (Institut Agama Islam Negeri (IAIN) Sultan Amai Gorontalo, 2023-06-15)
    This study aims to comprehensively describe the issuance of Family Cards in the perspective of maslahah (social benefit) and justice for the legitimacy of marriage for sirri married couples in Bengkulu Province. This research is a qualitative empirical research with a statutory approach, a case and field approach, and a concept approach. This study found that the issuance of Family Cards for marriages of unmarried couples is a form of upholding justice in a social (commutative) framework where everyone has the same rights over marital status. On the other hand, the issuance of a Family Card for unmarried couples can be categorized as maslahah al-khassah (special benefit) which benefits only a few parties, not maslahah al-ammah (general benefit) which applies to the whole community. This study also found that the impact of including the statement "Unregistered Marriage" in the issuance of Family Cards for unregistered married couples can lead to maslahah al-mulghah in the form of legal confusion regarding the legality of one's marriage while at the same time hindering the updating of centralized data which is on the government's agenda.

    This study aims to depict the problems faced in the implementation of a one-stop integrated service policy in the religious judicial system. Data were also obtained through direct interviews from a number of informants, mainly the judges of the provincial and district High Religious Courts (Pengadilan Tinggi Agama) and (Pengadilan Agama).

Consequently, judges preferring decisions on material laws over Islamic precepts. Therefore, judges’ decisions in establishing regulations tend to be fixed on material laws, which is evident in cases such as, divorce lawsuits.

    Hunowu, Momy A; Badu Pakuna, Hatim; Obie, Muhammad (Institut Agama Islam Negeri (IAIN) Sultan Amai Gorontalo, 2023-06-15)
    The focus of this paper is to explore how the tradition of khatam Qur’an for women is the entry point for empowerment. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach, collecting data through in-depth interviews with four female research participants and observing their family life. The results of the research show that the tradition of khatam Qur'an has opened up opportunities for women’s freedom. In the first generation, women were still cooped up, illiterate and shy, in the second generation, opportunities for freedom were given with the excuse of leaving the house to learn the Qur’an reading. In the third generation, women are equal to men in education to obtain public roles. However, they cannot let go of their domestic role. In the end, women have a dual role. This study concludes that ongoing empowerment efforts have reconstructed the marginalization of women.

    Kau, Sofyan A. P.; Suleman, Zulkarnain; Irwan (Institut Agama Islam Negeri (IAIN) Sultan Amai Gorontalo, 2023-06-15)
    This paper discusses traditional Islamic criticism of the concept of heresy in Salafi Islam, categorizing every new act in religion as iconoclastic heresy. Based on this concept of heresy, ritual ceremonies and practices of traditional Islamic religious traditions are classified as acts of heresy. Through literature research based on literary document sources using abstractive inductive logic methods and content analysis, this study found that ritual ceremonies and practices of traditional Islamic religious traditions are not acts of heresy because they are based on theorem (al-Quran, hadith and allegiance) it is new. New actions (mutants) are categorized as bid'ah if they conflict with the Quran, hadith, and a tsar. Traditional Islam criticizes the concept of heresy in Salafi-Wahhabi Islam for being ahistorical because several traditions show that the innovation of a friend, tâbi'u tâbi'uttab'în, while this innovation was not ordered and practiced by the Prophet; instead, was carried out by the generation of the Salaf.

  • Analyzing the Practice of Hibah in Lieu of Inheritance among the Indonesian Muslim Community

    Sukiati; Hidayat, Muhammad; Hasan Sebyar, Muhamad (Institut Agama Islam Negeri (IAIN) Sultan Amai Gorontalo, 2023-06-15)
    This study aims to explore the patterns of Hibah practice as a substitute for inheritance in Indonesian society and the reasons they do so. The research locations include Gayo, Aceh, North Sumatra, Jambi, Madiun, Kediri and Surabaya. In this qualitative study, data were collected through interviews. The participants consisted of ulama, academics, and the community who practice Hibah as a substitute for inheritance. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed through content analysis. This study indicates three patterns of Hibah practice as a substitute for inheritance. First, the Hibah is given at the beginning with a portion of 2:1, which is also considered an inheritance when the parent dies. Second, the Hibah is divided equally as well as the surviving parent gets a share. When someone dies, the assets owned by the parents are divided equally. Third, the Hibah is divided unequally, and after the parent dies, the property becomes a portion of the inheritance calculation. This study concludes that the practice of Hibah is becoming more popular among the people in distributing the inheritance, while Islamic inheritance is increasingly insignificant. The position of religious law which is so important in Indonesian Muslim society is critical.
