Personal Branding ala Generasi Digital: Kajian Tafsir Maqashid Terhadap Trend Flexing

2025-06-21T10:02:41+00:00

The development of social media has given rise to the phenomenon of flexing as a form of self-expression in the contemporary era, where individuals deliberately show off their wealth, achievements, or luxurious lifestyles to build a self-image. This research aims to examine flexing within the framework of personal branding using a maqashid interpretation approach. The method used is library research and qualitative to trace the interpretation of verses related to the meaning of flexing. This research reveals three main findings, namely the meaning of flexing from the perspective of popular culture and social psychology, verses related to flexing in the review of maqashid interpretation and Maqashid-based personal branding solutions. The result, from the perspective of popular culture and social psychology, suggests that flexing serves as a display of wealth for social validation and as a manifestation of the need for others to recognize oneself. Based on the analysis of the Qur'anic verses (QS. Al-Hadid: 20, Luqman: 18, At-Takatsur: 1-2), flexing contradicts the principles of maqashid shari'ah, especially in the aspects of protecting religion (hifzh al-din), soul (hifzh al-nafs), intellect (hifzh al-aql), offspring (hifzh al-nasl), and property (hifzh al-mal). As a solution, personal branding can be applied in line with Islamic values by emphasizing the importance of self-authenticity, cultivating an attitude of gratitude, and creating content that has social benefits.

2025-06-17T23:43:35+00:00

The purpose of this study is to identify the translation techniques and strategies used in translating the Qur’anic text into Javanese, and to assess their suitability with modern translation theories. This study uses a qualitative-descriptive approach with a content analysis method. Primary data in the form of translated quotations of Qur’anic verses in the Tafsir al-Ibriz were analyzed by comparing them with the source text and examining them based on translation techniques and strategies. Secondary data were obtained from relevant literature on translation theory and tafsir studies. The results of the study indicate that KH. Bisri Musthofa applied various translation techniques and strategies such as correspondence, explanation, expansion, reduction, substitution, borrowing, adaptation, as well as structural and semantic strategies. His translation was not solely oriented towards literal meaning, but also considered the cultural background, oral tradition, and level of understanding of Javanese readers. This proves that translating religious texts requires a balance between fidelity to the source text and acceptability in the target language. The implications of this study confirm that KH. Bisri Musthofa’s efforts are an important example in locality-based translation studies, where the Qur’an is translated while respecting the authenticity of the Arabic text while being relevant to Javanese culture. This contribution opens up space for the development of translation science and a contextual approach in conveying religious messages.

A Comparative Study of Munāsabah and Semitic Rhetoric in Sūrah Al-Fajr

2025-08-10T05:53:05+00:00

The systematic arrangement of the Qur’an has raised pros and cons among Western academies regarding its coherence. This research examines the structure of Sūrah al-Fajr as a response to orientalist criticism, which argues that the structure of the verses is not connected. By using the theoretical framework of Munāsabah and Semitic Rhetoric, this research aims to confirm the relationship of the verses in Sūrah al-Fajr to show the accuracy of their arrangement, as well as to find the relationship between Munāsabah and Semitic Rhetoric in explaining the structure of the Sūrah. This library research uses a qualitative approach and descriptive-comparative methods in analyzing data. As a result, all the verses in Sūrah al-Fajr have been proven to be well structured and coherent based on Munāsabah and Semitic Rhetoric. Both can emphasize the structure of the Sūrah, although in different ways. Munāsabah emphasizes the linear connection of verses in a Sūrah, while Semitic Rhetoric explains the structure at each level of the text. In this way, Orientalist criticism regarding the composition of the Sūrah can be refuted.

2025-07-15T08:35:04+00:00

This study aims to examine the phenomenon of al-dakhil, or the infiltration of foreign elements into the interpretation of the Qur’an, which can cause distortion of meaning. The main issue addressed is how al-dakhil emerges in exegesis and the factors that trigger the introduction of external elements such as weak data, isra’iliyyat, and the personal biases of the exegete, thereby risking deviation from the original meaning of the revelation. The approach used is a qualitative method with descriptive analysis, examining tafsir texts and ushul al-tafsir literature in depth to identify forms of al-dakhil related to linguistic rules, as well as analysing their causal factors. The research findings indicate that al-dakhil often arises due to insufficient mastery of the Arabic language, group fanaticism, and the influence of ideology and invalid scientific data. An important conclusion is that this study underscores the necessity of linguistic literacy, critical evaluation of sources, and the strict application of linguistic rules in the tafsir process to preserve the authenticity and validity of the Qur’an’s meaning. The main implication is the importance of strengthening responsible and scientific exegesis methodologies to prevent the introduction of foreign elements that distort the meaning of revelation.

The implication of this research is to make a positive contribution to the development of a more socially just, compassionate, and equitable society by instilling the values of solidarity, social concern, and sacrifice for the common good.

“For You Your Religion and For Me My Religion”: A Theological Limitation on Religious Inclusivism and Religious

2025-04-29T13:32:25+00:00

The idea of religious pluralism shows each group respecting and tolerant of each other and religious inclusivism which emphasizes that all religions have the same value of truth, is present as one of the resolutions to the problems of differences in religious views. However, it turns out that some implementations of these ideas actually seem to be forcing and going beyond the limits, such as a group of Muslims who play Marais and sing the Prophet’s prayers during the inauguration of a church or a priest who chants prayers during a church mass ceremony. This article aims to limit the implementation of the idea of religious pluralism and religious inclusivism using the argument of Q.S. Al-Kafirun: 6 “For you your religion and for me my religion”. The data collection technique in this study uses a literature study excavated from interpretation books as primary sources and research articles and books as secondary sources so that it can be concluded into a type of descriptive-analytical-qualitative research. The results of the analysis show that Islam recognizes religious diversity as part of the sunnatullah, but does not justify actions that lead to syncretism which has the potential to blur religious identity. This study contributes to enriching the discourse of religious pluralism and religious inclusivism in Indonesia regarding the importance of maintaining a balance between respecting religious differences while maintaining the essence of the teachings of each perspective of the interpretation of the Qur’an.

Teaching Professional Ethics: A Comparative Study between Qur’an-Based Teaching Professional Ethics and Modern Professional Ethics

2025-09-09T13:17:52+00:00

Ethics is a fundamental pillar of the teaching profession, as teachers not only serve as transmitters of knowledge but also as moral exemplars for their students. Contemporary educational realities reveal various challenges, including the decline of integrity, weak mastery of competencies, and violations of professional codes of ethics, all of which undermine the quality of education. On the other hand, modern professional ethics has been formulated through competency standards and professional codes, both nationally and internationally, such as the Indonesian Teachers’ Association (PGRI) Code of Ethics and the UNESCO Teacher Code. However, the spiritual and transcendental dimensions remain relatively overlooked. This article aims to analyze the concept of professional ethics for teachers from the perspective of the Qur’an and to compare it with modern professional ethics. The study employs a qualitative library research method using a thematic (maudhū‘ī) approach, semantic analysis of key Qur’anic terms such as ‘ilm, ḥikmah, amanah, and ṣidq, and a comparative framework. The findings reveal that the Qur’an emphasizes teacher ethics in the domains of knowledge, trustworthiness, honesty, exemplary conduct, and moral commitment, whereas modern ethics highlights competency standards and regulatory frameworks. The comparative analysis identifies both convergences and divergences, suggesting that their integration offers a more comprehensive framework of teacher ethics encompassing spiritual, moral, and professional dimensions.

The visualization of the houris in the Qur’an is described as hur ‘in, women with beautiful eyes and clear skin like hidden pearls. They are portrayed as shy, loyal, and eternally youthful. This imagery reflects the social construction of gender that influences classical interpretations, particularly in Tafsir Ath-Thabari. This study analyzes Ath-Thabari’s interpretation of the concept of houris in paradise and re-examines it through the lens of Judith Butler’s theory of gender as a social construct. Butler asserts that gender is not a fixed biological category but a social construct shaped by culture, language, and discourse. The interpretation of houris is not merely textual but also shaped by the patriarchal gender norms prevalent at the time the interpretation was formulated. This research employs a literature review method with a descriptive and linguistic analysis approach to the Qur’anic verses and Ath-Thabari’s exegesis. The findings reveal that Ath-Thabari interprets the houris literally, emphasizing their physical and sensual attributes as a form of pleasure for faithful men. The depiction of houris with large, beautiful eyes, ideal body shapes, and pure white skin reflects the classical Arab standards of beauty. From Butler’s perspective, such interpretations are cultural constructions that reproduce gender hierarchies, rather than representing absolute realities.

2025-09-13T12:42:31+00:00

The hijab occupies a central place in traditional Arab clothing, carrying historical, religious, and social dimensions. Within Islam, it is closely linked to the principles of modesty and the construction of Muslim women’s identity, though its practice and interpretation have evolved over time. This study explores Qur’anic interpretations of the hijab and traces its historical development while also examining the impact of social, political, and cultural contexts on its use. Employing a qualitative approach through a literature-based analysis of primary and secondary sources, the research highlights that the hijab functions not only as a religious symbol but also as a marker of cultural identity and, at times, as a form of resistance to Western hegemony. Diverse scholarly interpretations have given rise to variations in hijab practices across the Arab world and the broader Muslim community. Furthermore, ongoing debates in relation to feminism and women’s rights demonstrate that the hijab remains a dynamic and contested discourse, continually reshaped by changing societal contexts.

Nilai-Nilai Sufistik Dalam Puasa Kajian Tafsir Tarjuman Al- Mustafid Karya Abdul Rouf As Singkili

2025-09-16T14:53:05+00:00

Fasting is one of the pillars of Islam that serves not only as a legal obligation but also as a means of purifying the soul and controlling human desires. In the Sufi tradition, fasting is regarded as a form of riyāḍah al-nafs (spiritual training) that cultivates spiritual awareness and draws believers closer to Allah. This study aims to examine the Sufi values embedded in fasting as interpreted by Abdul Rauf al-Singkili in Tarjuman al-Mustafid and to analyze their relevance for shaping contemporary Muslim spirituality. Employing a qualitative approach with a library research method, this study uses Tarjuman al-Mustafid as the primary source and classical Sufi texts as well as modern scholarly works as secondary sources. The findings reveal that Abdul Rauf emphasized four key values of fasting: sincerity, self-restraint, spiritual awareness, and the stages of takhalli, tahalli, and tajalli. These values contribute to the development of a pious Muslim character and offer solutions to modern challenges such as consumerism, hedonism, psychological stress, and moral decline. This research highlights that Tarjuman al-Mustafid not only enriches the heritage of Qur’anic exegesis in the Malay-Indonesian world but also remains highly relevant in strengthening spirituality and character education among Muslims in contemporary contexts.

2025-07-27T13:18:25+00:00

This article explores the foundational principles of Islamic educational management through the Qur’anic interpretations of Tafsir Al-Misbah by M. Quraish Shihab. Responding to the contemporary challenges of globalization and the urgency to ground education in Qur’anic values, the study employs a library research method with a descriptive-qualitative approach. The analysis focuses on three key principles: justice (Q.S. Ar-Rahman: 7–9), sincerity (Q.S. Al-Bayyinah: 5), and trustworthiness (Q.S. An-Nisa’: 58). The findings indicate that justice ensures equity and inclusivity in managing educational resources and policies; sincerity provides a moral and spiritual foundation that enhances dedication and integrity; while trustworthiness underscores accountability in leadership and the fulfillment of responsibilities. The study not only enriches theoretical discourse by offering a tafsir-based framework for Islamic educational management but also provides practical implications for shaping institutional vision, mission, and governance in alignment with Islamic values.

Qanā‘ah dan Pengaruhnya Terhadap Kesehatan Jiwa Menurut Buya Hamka dalam Tafsir Al-Azhar

2025-09-20T14:28:02+00:00

This research focuses on the study of the concept of qanā’ah and its influence on mental health according to Buya Hamka in Tafsir al-Azhar. The purpose of this research is to explain how Buya Hamka interprets verses related to qanā’ah and its relevance to mental health. The research method used is a qualitative method with a library research approach. The primary source of this research is Tafsir al-Azhar by Buya Hamka, while secondary sources consist of classical and contemporary tafsir books, Sufism books, and Islamic psychology literature. Data analysis was carried out using the thematic method (maudhu’i). The results of the study indicate that qanā’ah according to Buya Hamka includes five dimensions: accepting willingly for what is there, asking for additional sustenance with appropriate efforts, being patient with Allah’s provisions, putting one’s trust in Allah, and not being attracted to the deceit of the world. This concept, when applied, functions as a self-control mechanism that can prevent the emergence of heart diseases such as envy, jealousy, greed, and complaints. From an Islamic psychological perspective, contentment can foster inner peace, gratitude, optimism, and resilience in the face of life’s difficulties. Thus, contentment is not merely a spiritual value but also significantly contributes to achieving individual mental health and social harmony.

Deconstruction of Patriarchal Interpretation of the Concept of Nafsin Wahidah in Surah An-Nisa: An Analysis of the Hermeneutics of Tauhid Asma Barlas' Perspective on Gender Equality

2025-09-23T02:48:43+00:00

This research examines the concept of nafsin wahidah in Surah An-Nisa verse 1 through Asma Barlas's anti-patriarchal theological perspective to address the dominance of classical exegesis that exhibits gender bias. This verse is often used to justify gender hierarchy through the narrative of Eve's creation from Adam's rib, despite the Qur'an not explicitly mentioning this. The significance of this study lies in its attempt to deconstruct the patriarchal legacy within the exegetical tradition that has resulted in social and legal inequalities against Muslim women. This research employs a qualitative approach with text analysis methods based on Asma Barlas's hermeneutics of tawhid, involving linguistic and historical analysis of QS. An-Nisa verse 1, as well as comparisons between classical exegesis and Barlas's approach in Believing Women in Islam. The analysis reveals that nafsin wahidah refers to the non-gendered and equal essence of humanity, rather than representing Adam as a superior male. Barlas dismantles patriarchal assumptions in classical exegesis by demonstrating that the concept of zaujaha emphasizes mutuality, not subordination. The hermeneutics of tawhid developed by Barlas positions the principle of God's oneness as the ethical and theological foundation for understanding gender equality. This research affirms that the Qur'an, when read contextually and justly, supports egalitarian relations between men and women. It is recommended that the hermeneutics of tawhid approach be applied more broadly in exegetical studies to build an inclusive and gender-just Islamic theology.
