Pendekatan reformasi Jamāl al-Dīn al-Qāsimī (1283-1332 H.) terhadap sosioagama umat Islam di Syria

This is a qualitative study with data obtained from authoritative documents such as books, theses, newspapers, and magazines. Jamāl al-Dīn al-Qāsimī placed a strong emphasis on the use of the Quran a…

This study aims to examine the thoughts, movements of iṣlāḥ (reform) and tajdīd (renewal) of Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī (d. 1111) and their relevance to the contemporary da‘wah.

Al-Ghazālī emphasized Muslims’ mission to spread Islam and reform society. He identified societal issues, attributin…
Islamic Higher Education in Post-Conflict Aceh
This study examines the recent development of Islamic universities in post-conflict Aceh. Government data shows that Indonesia will face a demographic bonus era in the future, where the productive age population will be greater than the non-productive age population. As much as 27.94% of Indonesia's population is Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2012. With a pragmatic and realistic character, those aged 12-27 are currently studying at the seco…
Anti-Ahmadiyya Rulings in East Sumatra
This study examines the religious perspectives on the Ahmadiyya movement in East Sumatra in the early twentieth century. The primary research questions are: What was the official stand of the ‘ulamā’ of the Ahmadiyya movement in East Sumatra? What were the epistemological foundations of their views? To date, there has been no specific research on this topic. Thus, this study aims to provide a historical, sociological, and philosophical review of …
Al-Bantānī and the Interpretation of Ṣifāt verses in Marāḥ Labīd
This article examines the stance held by a Meccan-Indonesian exegete in the 13 AH or 19 AD century, Muḥammad Nawawī al-Bantānī (d. 1230–1314 H/1813–1897 AD), in dealing with Ṣifāt verses in his exegetical work, Marāḥ Labīd li Kashf Ma’nā al-Qur’ān al-Majīd . As an established term, Ṣifāt verses refer to Quranic expressions that ostensibly ascribe anthropomorphic dimensions to God. Interpretation of such ambiguous verses has been bitterly contende…

The Relevance of al-Kay’s Treatment According to the Perspective of Prophetic Hadith
This article aims to analyze the healing method with al-kay, which refers to the hadith perspective in two different contexts: prohibition and conditional permission. By applying a qualitative research method, this article finds that one popular al-kay product today is laser-based circumcision. This circumcision is one of the modern ways in which the skin of the foreskin is cut using a unique cutting tool, i.e., a cautery or diathermy, which repl…
Ash’arism in Nusantara
Since the beginning of the introduction of Islam in North-East Asia, Ash’arism has been represented Sunni theology that shaped the mainstream of Islamic belief in the region. However, during the last few years, it has been confronted serious contention from various parties. This article will examine the role played by its proponents in shaping Islamic belief and the challenges they faced to keep the tradition alive. It first briefly exposes how A…
Polemik Pentafsiran Maqām Maḥmūd dan Penolakan Antropomorfisme dalam Kalangan Ahli Sunnah
Contrary to the majority of scholars who interprets maqām maḥmūd (Quran 17:79) as intercession, the Hanbalites of Baghdad opine that the phrase means “Muhammad will be seated beside God on the throne.” They based their interpretation on an athar (saying) of an early Quran exegete, Mujāhid bin Jabr (d. 104H/722AD). Due to its apparent anthropomorphic feature, this standpoint caused a polemic that contributed to a violent clash in 317H/929AD. The o…
Preserving Hadith Tradition in the Modern Times
Abstrak: Melestarikan Tradisi Hadis di Era Modern: Pemikiran Mu h ammad Yâsîn al-Fâdânî tentang Sanad dalam Kitab al-‘Ujâlah fi al-A h âdîth al-Musalsalah . Selepas kesempurnaan tadwîn (pembukuan hadis), periwayatan hadis bersanad telah berubah menjadi sekadar tradisi formalistik.

The Salafis and the Preservation of Isnād Tradition
Transmitting Hadith with full isnd (chain of transmitters) connecting back to Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has been considered as an exclusive privilege for Muslims and one of the significant traditions of past Ahl al-Hadith (scholars of Hadith). In modern times, when isnd are no longer examined to determine the authenticity of Hadiths, the tradition is still preserved by the scholars with Sufi inclination whose cre…
Traditionist Internal Reform
Al-Rāmahurmuzī’s Muḥaddith al-fāṣil bayna l-rāwī wa-l-wāʿī has been widely accepted as the first composition in the discipline of ḥadīth sciences (ʿulūm al-ḥadīth). However, little is known about the real motive behind this sophisticated work. This paper seeks to contribute to ḥadīth historiography by exposing the agenda behind the composition of al-Muḥaddith al-fāṣil. This study suggests that the book reflects al-Rāmahurmuzī’s critical appraisal…
