WHEN RELIGION APPROACHES SCIENCE; An Interpretation of Ziauddin Sardar's Integrative Islamic Education ThoughtThe aspiration of most Muslim intellectuals is how to break the scientific dichotomous dilemma that has been rooted so strongly in the history of Islamic Education. Among those Muslim intellectuals is Ziauddin Sardar. The epistemological construction built by Sardar, to integrate science and religion is to make the Qur'an and Hadith as the basic foundation for the development of Islamic science. Islamic science must fulfil the following requirements, namely tawhid (God's divinity), khalifa (God's guardian), 'worship, 'ilm (knowledge), halal (permissible things), haram (prohibited things), 'adl (social justice), zulm (tyranny), istishlah (public interest), and diya' (waste). Educationally, the process of developing Islamic education for Sardar is to internalise values with the spirit of Islam, namely fulfilling the ideals of the Islamic worldview, such as brotherhood, social justice, proportional use of natural resources

The Early Qur’anic Translation in Madura: Bhuju’ Bukkol and the Accuracy of His TranslationThis article explores the manuscript of Qur’anic translation written by Bhuju’ Bukkol, a Madurese scholar who lived in the 18th/19th century and whose existence was sacred to the local community. Specifically, this paper seeks to examine the accuracy of his translation from linguistical aspect, as well as the implications of the translation in socio-religious perspective. The focus of the analysis of the translation is directed at the word ‘tukadhdhibān’, whose translation is different from the majority of the Qur’anic translations. By using analytical descriptive method and several translation theories, this paper argues that the translation of the word ‘angeliyoaken’ is categorized into the meaning translation. The translation has linguistically fulfilled the brief and concise elements, but from the aspect of lexical accuracy, the meaning is not correct. On the other hand, the translation of the word is considered communicative, as the accuracy of understanding is quite precise. From the social aspect, the selection of the diction ‘angeliyoaken’ is considered as an effort to find a safe point based on two considerations, namely: not to damage the original understanding of ‘tukadhdhibān’ and not to cause offense to ordinary people who are socially considered quite sensitive

PROBLEM OF UGLINESS SEVERAL ARGUMENTS FOR GOD'S UNBEAUTY CREATIONThe problem in ugliness, especially ugliness in God's creation, raises questions about God's ability to create beautiful things. This study aims to deepen the understanding of imperfections in God's creation, which emerge the idea of bridging the gaps that are not yet well connected between God's most beautiful statement and His creation which is not all beautiful. Using a theological approach, this paper describes three problems not to deny that God is beautiful and loves beauty. First, God is Most Beautiful, and His manifestations in His creation are limited. Second, the formal imperfections in His creation were not created not to confront one another but instead are in a straight gradient line. Third, the physical imperfection is not interpreted as a limitation of God (finitism) but a message to His creatures

Islamization of Western Social Contract Theory from the Perspective of Syed Muhammad Naquib al-AttasThe secular social contract as the basis of democracy gives birth to policies and laws that are far from religious principles and norms. For example, the legalisation of same-sex marriage and the legalisation of prostitution in most Western countries. This is certainly not in line with Islamic values and needs Islamisation. For this reason, this article aims to explain al-Attas' idea of Islamisation and social contract theory as an example, in order to become an alternative way of Islamic politics. Through literature research with a content analysis approach, it can be concluded that first, the Western social contract is based on an anthropocentric and secular paradigm. Second, the agreement between people with the general will becomes the determinant of policy, third, there is a need for Islamisation of social contract theory with the concept of bai'ah which has a theocentric or tawhidi paradigm, as an alternative way of Islamic politics

Qur'anic and Hadith Values in the Dile Jojor Tradition to Commemorate the Coming of Lailah al-Qadr in LombokThe culture of Muslim communities is influenced by the dialectic between religious teachings and local traditions where Muslims live. This article aims to explore the Dile Jojor tradition, also called Maleman in Lombok, which is influenced by the religious understanding of Lailah al-Qadr. Data of this qualitative study using an anthropological approach were obtained from observation, interviews and documentation. This article shows that the Dile Jojor tradition is not only related to the history of the arrival of Islam in Lombok which was introduced by the ulemas as a reminder of Lailah al-Qadr, but also related to the history of the Sasak people towards lights. At a time when people were not familiar with electricity, Dile Jojor was used as a street light to lead to the mosque to carry out Tarawih prayers and deliver zakat fitrah. This tradition has various meanings for the Sasak people: the sign of Lailah al-Qadr, the descent of angels to earth, the arrival of the spirits of the dead, and symbols of light for life, gratitude, and hope. The Maleman ritual begins with breaking the fast together, blaming Dile Jojor, praying, and remembrance. This tradition is a form of acculturation between Islam and local Sasak traditions, where the implementation of the tradition is based on the spirit and values of Islam but at the ritual level it adopts local wisdom. The Islamic values embodied in the Dile Jojor tradition are based on the spirit of the Quran. This article argues that harmonization between Islam and local tradition has made this tradition easily accepted by the Sasak people and continues to this day as a socio-cultural identity for Sasak Muslims

Dialectics of Musdah Mulia's Thought on Polygamy in the Qur'an: Text and ContextThis article aims to reveal the shari'a of polygamy in the Qur'an. This is motivated by the diversity of interpretations of the polygamy verse, giving rise to diverse opinions and arguments that seem difficult to compromise. Musdah Mulia is a gender figure or Muslim scholar who clearly in her research rejects polygamy and recommends that polygamy be banned and states that polygamy is not Islamic law and its practice has caused harm and is a violation of human rights. This opinion is considered extreme and has drawn criticism and rebuttal from various Muslim scholars. This research method uses a literature study using a socio-historical approach and content analysis. The results of the study concluded that Musdah Mulia's opinion that polygamy is not Islamic law does not have a strong legal basis, because it has gone out of the meaning of the text but in the implementation of the context it can be prohibited if it is outside the predetermined conditions

Understanding Human Trafficking In The Perspective Of Al-Azhar Interpretation (Review Surah Yusuf [12]: 19-20)The aim of this study was to the phenomenon of human trafficking that occurred in the Prophet Yusuf and at this time. Human trafficking is a phenomenon that has occurred long before the Prophet Muhammad was born. This phenomenon has even been experienced by the Prophet Yusuf AS. The Prophet Yusuf was abandoned by his siblings, sold by travelers who found him, and made into slaves by those who bought him. There are two academic problems formulated in this study. First, how is the interpretation of QS. Yusuf [12]: 19-20 in Al-Azhar's interpretation of human trafficking. Second, how is the practice of human trafficking that occurred in the prophet Yusuf and the current era. This type of research is a qualitative research using a library research approach. The results of this study contain two main findings, namely; (1) QS. Yusuf [12] asserts about the crime of human trafficking experienced by the prophet Yusuf. In this case, Prophet Yusuf was sold by a traveler who found him in a well and then sold him at a very low price and made him a slave. (2) The practice of human trafficking that occurred in the prophet Yusuf and the present era has almost the same form. If the prophet Yusuf was treated like a slave, traded and so on, then in the present era such crimes still occur. Tuti Tursilawati as a migrant worker from Indonesia who worked in Saudi Arabia also received cruel treatment from her employer. Tuti was forced to work hard and was not paid, and she was often sexually harassed. Actions like this are a form of trafficking crime in the current era. Keyword: Human Trafficking, Prophet Yusuf, Slavery, QS. Yusuf [12]: 19-20, Tafsir Al-Azhar

Some of the young generations of educated NU have used al-Jabiri's thoughts as a reference in developing the dynamics of thought by calling itself a school of Islamic post-traditionalism

Discourse of Faḍâ’il al-Qur’an: Muhammad Shadiq's Presentation of the Quran's Privileges in the Book of Qalb al-Qur’anThe purpose of this article is to explain Muhammad Shadiq's Qalb al-Qur'an in his work, faḍâ’il al-Qur'an. The inquiries are as follows: What Qur'anic verses are contained in Qalb al-Qur'an? How do the faḍâ’il al-Qur'an forms in Surah al-Fâ'tiḥah verses 4-5 illustrate receiving privileges from the Qur'an? The book of Qalb al-Qur'an by Muhammad Shadiq has a representation of faḍâ’il al-Qur'an that has about 56 features, according to qualitative-descriptive methodologies, informative, and performative approaches from Sam D. Gill. These features consist of a combination of one or two verses that make up the 114 surahs of the Qur'an's qalb (heart). The author shows the fourth and fifth verses in Surah al-Fâ’tiḥah as qalb based on several interpretations as evidence of its specialty study. While the fifth verse discusses the responsibilities of a servant who must worship only Allah and always seek His help, the fourth verse discusses Allah's power in the cosmos and how He has the right to reward and hold each of His servants accountable in the hereafter. These two verses are regarded as the qalb in Surah al-Fâ’tiḥah because they have a much deeper, more distinctive, and all-encompassing meaning than the other verses

Ibn Khaldun's Perspective on the Social Contract (Bai’at) and Its Implementation in the State SystemThe social contract is a critical concept in the democratic system brought by the West. This concept agrees with the existence of agreements and the transfer of power from the people to the authorities based on the principle of the general will, in the form of individual freedoms that must be protected and realized. It is then very contrary to the conception of Islamic politics, which has a concept equivalent to a social contract in the form of the Bai’at concept. Therefore, this research objectives were to examine the Bai’at concept put forward by Ibn Khaldun to be a mirror for comparison of the Western social contract; and to see its implementation in the state system. Based on the library research method with a descriptive-analytical approach, it could be concluded that: first, the Western social contract contained three interconnected concepts, namely: society, sovereignty, and liberty. Second, according to Ibn Khaldun, Bai’at was very relevant to be referred to as a social contract with three pieces of evidence: the ummah or society in the position of giving the bai'at; power aimed to maintain the benefit of the ummah; and shari’a which is the agreement value. Third, its implementation in the state system was seen in the appointment of leaders in Islam: the existence of a contract between the leader and the community to benefit the hereafter

Traditionalist and Revisionist Madzhabs’ Perspectives Against the Sunni Hadith Criticism Method and RefutationThis research aims to reveal the traditionalist and revisionist madzhabs’ perspectives on the criticism of Sunni hadith. As is well known, traditionalists and revisionists still doubt the authenticity and authority of hadith. According to them, one of the reasons for the unauthenticity of hadith is the inefficiency of the evaluation system and the concept of hadith criticism. Employing a historical approach, this research first analyzed the main reasons for this inefficiency, including the presence of inauthentic hadiths in collections of hadith books, the prevalence of falsification and fiction in hadiths, ignorance of internal criticism by hadith narrators, gaps in the principles the notion of Rijāl science, and the falsifications and distortions in the transmission chain. Moreover, it also discussed the responses of hadith defenders, including the possibility of justifying hadiths that have been considered inauthentic, ignorance of the different linguistic levels of hadiths, the constant efforts of hadith narrators to purify the legacy of hadiths and identify falsifications from the time of their publication, the efforts and attention of experts’ hadiths on textual examination and rigorous investigation of Rijāl. The research results revealed that although the revisionist madzhab doubted the authenticity of the hadiths compiled by Sunni circles, they admitted that they had compiled were not without selection but had gone through external and internal criticism. Meanwhile, the traditionalist madzhab viewed that hadiths narrated by trusted narrators and considered valid by hadith experts should not be questioned or sorted out based on modern critical methods. This madzhab considered that the method of critique of hadith used by some modern scholars tended to doubt the authority and reliability of hadith and thus threatened the integrity and oneness of religious teachings. Meanwhile, the refutation of Sunni hadith experts against the perspectives of traditionalist madzhab included: (1) historical and social context must be considered in assessing the validity and relevance of a hadith. It was what the traditionalist madzhab ignored; (2) it was necessary to assess the hadith narrators critically; (3) the method of hadith criticism developed over time allowed further disclosure of the authenticity of hadith; (4) Traditionalist madzhabs were frequently inconsistent in their assessment of hadith; and (5) Traditionalist madzhab might be influenced by particular cultural contexts, which could influence the interpretation of hadith and lead to bias

The Interpretation Shift of Polygamy Verses in Surah an-Nisā’(4): 3 and Its Contextualization In the Contemporary Era (Interpretation Studies in the Classical, Medieval, Modern-Contemporary Era)The study of gender issues along with the dynamics of the times has been in the spotlight, especially the reviewers of Islamic interpretation and thought, gender issues are getting hotter so that the implications are for commentators to continue to do ijtihad so that interpretations are in accordance with the text and context. The gender issue is specifically contained in the Qur'an Surah an-Nisā' (4): 3, where this verse often has different interpretations of the classical, medieval, and modern-contemporary commentators. Specifically, the medieval-classical interpretation tends to understand the verse as legitimacy and a commandment to practice polygamy. But on the one hand, modern-contemporary thinking reads the verse more as a monogamy command rather than on the aspect of polygamy. This diversity becomes a necessity which is certainly caused by several factors that are the background for these commentators. The purpose of this article is to try to analyze the causes of a shift in interpretation and the factors behind the occurrence of a shift in interpretation, especially Surah an-Nisā' 4: 3 from the perspective of classical, medieval, to modern-contemporary commentators. This research is a library research with an approach descriptive analysis. The results of this study indicate that the medieval-classical interpretation of understanding the verse is due to the influence of patriarchal culture and ideology so that the text is often understood textually without dialogue between the text and reality However, the modern-contemporary interpretation of the verse does not refer to the aspect of polygamy even though it is essentially an order, but rather to the monogamous aspect, because contextual reading in understanding the text needs to have a dialogue by looking at its implications for social reality

The urgency of love is very fundamental in the human journey, both love between fellow human beings, nature and the environment, even more important is love for Allah swt. Mahabbah which is understood with love is loving deeply as a feeling of longing and happy for something. This feeling then causes a person to focus on him and even encourage him to give the best, in the form of love and affection. This research method is through interpretation using the maudhu'i interpretation method, which is qualitative in nature to be analyzed inductively, and the results of the research emphasize the meaning of generalization. Through an approach in the form of library research, it is formulated in an analytical descriptive style to obtain a conclusion.
