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

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

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.

Khairiyah Asri Nasution, Zainal Arifin Zakaria, Jufri Naldo — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines the interpretation of Qur’anic verses on tolerance according to the Thematic Tafsir of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia (Kemenag RI). The background of this research lies in the urgent need for a proper understanding of tolerance in Indonesia's pluralistic society and the importance of having an official government-endorsed tafsir as a reference. The research problems include how Kemenag RI interprets verses on tolerance, the principles of tolerance that can be formulated from these interpretations, and the relevance of such interpretations in today’s Indonesian context. This study employs a qualitative method with a library research approach. Primary data is sourced from the Thematic Tafsir published by Kemenag RI, especially the volume(s) relevant to the themes of tolerance and harmony. Data analysis is conducted through a descriptive-analytical approach to understand the interpretations and formulate the principles of tolerance. The findings show that the Thematic Tafsir of Kemenag RI interprets tolerance as a fundamental Islamic value that promotes peaceful coexistence, recognition of differences, and prohibition of religious coercion highly relevant for maintaining harmony in Indonesia. The novelty of this research lies in its specific focus on Kemenag RI’s Thematic Tafsir as the main source, the systematic formulation of tolerance principles derived from it, and the analysis of their relevance in the context of Indonesia’s diversity. Its relevance to the Indonesian context is evident in how the Thematic Tafsir aligns closely with the values of Pancasila, particularly the first and third principles on Divinity and Unity. This interpretation serves as an important official government reference for fostering peaceful interreligious life in Indonesia.

Mohammad Nasih Al Hashas, Kamal Yusuf, Dafa Aqila Musyaffa — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

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.

The Qur'an learning method plays a crucial role in improving the quality of recitation among students. This study aims to analyze the comparison of the effectiveness of the Yanbu’a and An-Nahdiyah methods in improving the quality of Quranic recitation at Pondok Pesantren Tahfidzul Qur’an ‘Ibaadurrahman and Pondok Pesantren Darussalamah, Way Jepara District, East Lampung. This research uses a qualitative approach with a comparative study method. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies of teachers and students in both pesantren. The analysis was conducted by comparing aspects of the teaching methods, accuracy of makharijul huruf, application of tajwid rules, as well as the speed and durability of the students’ memorization. The results show that the Yanbu’a method is more systematic in teaching makharijul huruf and tajwid, providing students with a more structured understanding of recitation rules before memorization. On the other hand, the An-Nahdiyah method emphasizes direct practice with a flexible approach, enabling students to read and memorize the Quran more quickly. The conclusion of this study shows that both methods have their respective advantages. Therefore, the choice of teaching method should be adjusted to the characteristics of the students and the educational goals of Quranic learning in each pesantren.

Nazli Badrul Aini Ramdhani, Uqbatul Khair Rambe — Tue, 12 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to examine the psychological dimension of the story of the Prophet Yusuf based on Buya Hamka’s interpretation in the Tafsir Al-Azhar because the story of the Prophet Yusuf in the Qur’an is a narrative full of meaning, not only theologically and morally, but also has a deep psychological dimension. The study was conducted with an interpretive approach, considering that the main object of the study is the text of the Qur’an and its interpretation, which is normative and requires contextual understanding. The primary data sources in this study are the Qur’an, especially Surah Yusuf, and the Tafsir Al-Azhar by Buya Hamka. Meanwhile, secondary data were obtained from various relevant literature, such as Islamic psychology books, thematic interpretations, scientific journals, articles, and other written works. The results of the study show that the Al-Azhar Interpretation presents the story of the Prophet Yusuf as a medium for psychological education that is relevant to the context of modern life, particularly in building mental resilience, emotional control, and spiritual therapy. This study is expected to enrich the treasure trove of thematic interpretations with an Islamic psychological perspective. It is concluded that the story of the Prophet Yusuf contains a rich and profound psychological dimension. Buya Hamka successfully interpreted the story not only from a legal and moral perspective, but also from the psychological conditions of its characters. The psychological dimensions that emerge include the jealousy of Yusuf’s brothers, Yusuf’s mental fortitude, Zulaikha’s inner turmoil, the temptation of women, and the process of regret and forgiveness. Buya Hamka positions the story of the Prophet Yusuf as a medium for spiritual therapy for humans undergoing trials, as well as moral and psychological education that can be applied in modern life.
