The development of digital media has transformed YouTube into one of the most influential platforms for Islamic preaching, shaping public understanding of religious issues, including religious tolerance. This study aims to analyze the representation of religious tolerance, the patterns of tolerance message delivery, and the tendency of interpreting religious tolerance in Felix Siauw’s YouTube content. The research employs a qualitative approach using content analysis of videos discussing interfaith relations and social diversity.The findings reveal that religious tolerance in Felix Siauw’s content is represented as respect for the rights of followers of other religions in social life without compromising the boundaries of Islamic creed (aqidah). Messages of tolerance are conveyed through persuasive narratives supported by Qur’anic verses, Hadith, and scholars’ perspectives, emphasizing the importance of maintaining Islamic identity within a pluralistic society. The study also indicates that the interpretation of tolerance promoted in the content tends to emphasize social tolerance rather than theological tolerance, namely respecting diversity and fostering peaceful coexistence without equating religious beliefs. Therefore, digital Islamic preaching functions not only as a medium for disseminating religious teachings but also as a platform for shaping public understanding of religious tolerance.

The rapid development of digital technology has transformed the dissemination and consumption of religious information among Muslim communities. Alongside these advancements, the spread of Inkār al-Sunnah ideology through digital platforms has become a significant challenge to the integrity of Islamic religious understanding, particularly among younger generations who are frequently exposed to unverified religious content. This phenomenon has the potential to weaken the authority of the Sunnah as a primary source of Islamic teachings alongside the Qur'an. This study aims to examine Islamic education strategies in countering the spread of Inkār al-Sunnah in the digital era, focusing on strengthening hadith literacy, enhancing the role of Islamic Education teachers, utilizing digital media, and developing religious moderation education. The research employs a qualitative approach through library research and content analysis of relevant academic literature. The findings indicate that the challenge of Inkār al-Sunnah affects three dimensions of Islamic education: curricular, pedagogical, and socio-digital. In response, a multidimensional strategy is required, including strengthening Islamic epistemology, improving hadith literacy, contextualising learning through the living hadith approach, reformulating hadith curricula, optimizing educational digital media, enhancing teacher competencies, strengthening Islamic educational institutions, fostering family-school collaboration, and promoting religious moderation education. The study concludes that adaptive and integrative Islamic education, grounded in the Qur'an and Sunnah, plays a crucial role in developing a generation of Muslims who are critical, knowledgeable, digitally literate, and moderate in responding to contemporary religious challenges in the digital age.

The contemporary moral crisis, marked by the prevalence of hoaxes, corruption, intolerance, and hedonism, demands a strategic response from the Islamic tradition. This research aims to actualize Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) moral exemplariness as a strategy for strengthening Muslim character. Using a qualitative literature review method with a thematic-integrative approach, this study analyzes primary sources (the Quran, authentic hadiths, classical Islamic texts) and secondary sources (national and international academic journals). The findings identify five dimensions of Prophetic exemplariness (siddiq, amanah, rahmah, zuhud, hikmah) that directly correspond to 24 character strengths in Peterson and Seligman's Values in Action (VIA) framework. This research formulates four actualization strategies: internalization through contemporary Sufism, behavioral modeling (uswah fi'liyah), moral community reinforcement (al-biah al-shalihah), and Islamic digital literacy. The primary contribution of this research is an integrative model linking Prophetic moral values with modern character psychology, supplemented by an integration table mapping moral crises, Prophetic values, and character-strengthening strategies. This model is intended to serve as an operational framework for Islamic educational institutions, families, and Muslim communities in addressing moral crises systematically and evidence-based.

This study discusses the concept of polygamy from the perspectives of Islamic law and positive law in Indonesia, focusing on the principles of justice and its impact on women and families. Polygamy is one of the issues in fiqh munakahat that continues to generate debate because it is considered closely related to patriarchal culture, gender inequality, and violence against women. This study aims to analyze the legal basis of polygamy in the Qur’an, the views of scholars of tafsir and fiqh regarding polygamy, as well as the regulation of polygamy in Indonesian legislation. This study employs a library research method with a normative-sociological approach. Data sources were obtained from books of tafsir, fiqh, hadith, Islamic legal literature, and laws and regulations related to marriage in Indonesia. The findings indicate that Islam permits polygamy under very strict conditions, particularly regarding the husband’s ability to act justly both materially and emotionally. However, justice in emotional aspects and affection is considered very difficult for ordinary people to achieve, as emphasized in Qur'an Surah An-Nisa verse 129. In Indonesian positive law, the primary principle of marriage is monogamy, while polygamy is only permitted under certain circumstances with administrative requirements and court approval. This study concludes that the practice of polygamy in the modern era should be understood contextually by considering aspects of public welfare (maslahah), the protection of women’s rights, family justice, and the primary objectives of Islamic law in establishing a harmonious family characterized by sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah.             

The impact of sighar marriage on the younger generation from the perspective of Islamic law, social, and psychological. The main problem raised is the practice of marriage without dowry which places women as objects of exchange, thus ignoring their rights and causing the invalidity of the contract according to a number of scholars. The purpose of this study is to analyze the social, legal, and religious consequences of sighar marriage and its implications on the formation of children's identity and family resilience. The research method uses a literature study with a normative-comparative approach, referring to classical fiqh literature, hadith, and contemporary academic studies that compare the views of the Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali, and Hanafi schools. The results of the study show that nikah syighar has an impact on the neglect of women's rights, the normalization of objectification, household instability, the crisis of children's identity, and the weakening of family institutions. In addition, this practice is contrary to maqasid al-shari'ah, thus undermining the sacred value of marriage as worship and a means of moral development. These findings underscore the need for Islamic family law regulation and education to protect the younger generation from the practice of illegal and harmful marriage.

This study analyzes the minimum age of marriage in Islamic jurisprudence and compares it with the positive law regulations in Indonesia and Malaysia. Using a normative legal method with comparative and conceptual approaches, the study draws on primary sources, including the Qur'an, hadith, Law Number 16 of 2019 on Marriage in Indonesia, and the Islamic Family Law (Federal Territories) Act 1984 in Malaysia. The analysis focuses on how Islamic legal principles concerning marriage eligibility are interpreted and incorporated into contemporary legal frameworks in both countries. The findings reveal that Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) associates marital readiness with the concept of baligh (puberty) without prescribing a specific numerical age, whereas state law establishes fixed minimum age requirements to safeguard the rights and welfare of women and children. Indonesia sets the minimum marriage age at 19 years for both males and females, while Malaysia prescribes 18 years for males and 16 years for females, with judicial dispensation available in both jurisdictions under certain circumstances. These legal arrangements demonstrate each country's effort to harmonize classical Islamic jurisprudence with contemporary social protection objectives through institutional ijtihad, reflecting a balance between religious principles, legal certainty, and public welfare in regulating marriage.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the implementation of Al-Qur’an and Hadith teaching at MAN 2 Karawang, including the challenges faced and approaches to resolving them. The method used was qualitative with a descriptive approach. Information was collected through interviews and documentation with the principal, Al-Qur’an and Hadith teachers, and eleventh-grade students. The research findings indicate that teaching is conducted in accordance with the madrasah curriculum, using a thematic and contextual approach that focuses on moral development and the application of Islamic values in daily life. Teachers use various methods, such as lectures, discussions, questions and answers, and hadith memorization. However, the teaching and learning process still faces several obstacles, such as a lack of infrastructure, including projectors, limited availability of textbooks, and unsupportive classroom conditions, which affect students’ concentration. Several solutions implemented include the gradual provision of facilities, the use of digital technology through students’ mobile phones and e-books, and the implementation of more interactive teaching methods to increase student motivation.

The fiqh principle stating that a leader’s policies and actions toward the people must be based on public welfare is an Islamic legal principle emphasizing that every action and policy of a leader should be oriented toward the interests and well-being of society. This study aims to examine the meaning, normative foundations, concepts, and implementation of this principle in state governance. The research employs a library research method with a normative approach through the analysis of the Qur’an, Hadith, fiqh literature, scholarly journals, and relevant legislation. The findings indicate that this principle has a strong foundation in the Qur’an and Hadith, particularly regarding trustworthiness, justice, and the responsibility of leaders toward their people. Conceptually, this principle is closely related to the theories of maqashid al-shari’ah and siyasah shar’iyyah, which place public welfare as the primary objective of Islamic law. In practice, the principle is applied in various fields, including public administration, law and legislation, religious policies, as well as economic and fiscal policies. Its implementation can be seen in policies concerning the prohibition of interfaith marriage, marriage dispensation, marriage legalization hearings (isbat), the suspension of Hajj departures during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the management of state finances during the era of the Rightly Guided Caliphs. Therefore, this principle demonstrates that Islamic law possesses flexible and adaptive characteristics while maintaining a strong orientation toward public welfare, making it relevant to modern systems of governance.

The concept of naskh and mansukh is one of the most crucial methodological instruments in the discipline of Ushul Fiqh, serving to dissect the dynamics of Islamic law determination (tasyri') diachronically. This article aims to comprehensively analyze how the mechanism of naskh operates within the Al-Qur'an and Hadith and its juridical implications on the process of istinbath (deduction) of Islamic law. The urgency of this study lies in the fact that a flawed understanding of the abrogated verses can lead a mujtahid to establish laws that are juridically expired. Utilizing a qualitative-normative research method with a socio-historical approach, this article explores the classifications of naskh, ranging from the sharp debate over the Sunnah's authority to abrogate the Al-Qur'an to the fundamental differences between naskh, takhshish, and taqyid. The analysis also encompasses a comparative study of the views among the four major schools of thought (Hanafi, Maliki, Syafi'i, and Hanbali) in responding to conflicting evidences. The findings indicate that naskh is not an indication of inconsistency within Divine revelation, but rather a manifestation of the principles of tadarruj (gradualism) and taysir (facilitation) that accommodate the mental readiness of the community and the welfare of human beings. Practical implications of this concept are found in the evolution of laws concerning the direction of the qiblah, the iddah period, and the prohibition of khamr. Through a profound understanding of naskh, Islamic law demonstrates its elasticity in addressing contemporary challenges without losing its divine substance. In the modern era, this principle can be actualized in national legislative drafting through gradual regulatory methods.

This study was motivated by the fact that students still experience difficulties in understanding Nahwu and Shorof despite studying both sciences in Islamic boarding schools. The purpose of this research was to examine the perspectives of Arabic language, Nahwu, and Shorof teachers regarding the importance of Nahwu and Shorof in Arabic language learning, their understanding of the concepts and applications, and the effectiveness of learning implementation at Madrasah Aliyah Al-Hidayah East Tanjung Jabung. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using interviews, observations, and documentation as data collection techniques. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings revealed that teachers considered Nahwu and Shorof as the fundamental basis of Arabic language learning because these sciences regulate sentence structures, word transformations, and meanings in Arabic texts. Teachers believed that mastery of Nahwu and Shorof is essential for understanding the Qur’an, hadith, and classical Islamic books. The learning process was considered fairly effective since many students already had prior knowledge from pesantren education and showed progress during the learning process. However, the effectiveness of learning still faced several obstacles, including low student motivation, differences in students’ basic abilities, limited learning time, and the complexity of the material. This study concludes that improving the quality of Nahwu and Shorof learning requires more varied teaching methods, continuous motivation, regular material reinforcement, and stronger institutional support.

Knowledge should not only make human beings intellectually capable, but also guide them to understand the meaning and direction of life. However, in modern education, knowledge is often reduced to an instrument for obtaining grades, degrees, employment, and material success. This condition indicates a crisis of meaning in education, where knowledge grows rapidly but is not always followed by moral awareness and spiritual maturity. This article examines the Philosophy of Unity of Sciences as an alternative paradigm to restore the meaning of knowledge in modern education. This study uses library research with a descriptive-critical approach. The primary sources include the Qur’an, Hadith, Al-Ghazali’s Iḥyā’ ‘Ulūm Al-Dīn, Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas’ Islam and Secularism, and the Javanese ethical text Serat Wedhatama. This article is also strengthened by the thoughts of Muslim scholars such as Al-Kindi, Al-Farabi, Ibn Sina, Al-Biruni, Ibn Al-Haytham, Al-Khawarizmi, and Ibn Khaldun. The result of this study shows that the Philosophy of Unity of Sciences views all knowledge as originating from Allah. Therefore, religious knowledge and general knowledge should not be separated or opposed to each other. Both should work together to form human beings who are faithful, rational, ethical, and responsible. In this sense, knowledge can be understood as “a way home”, namely a way to return to God, to the self, to humanity, and to nature.

The steady increase in divorce cases in Indonesia suggests that many couples begin married life without adequate emotional, financial, or intellectual readiness. In response, the government encourages premarital education as a preventive initiative designed to equip future spouses with the skills needed to manage potential domestic difficulties. Viewed through the lens of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, this initiative supports the essential goals of Islamic law, namely the promotion of well-being at the personal, family, community, and national levels. This study argues that premarital education reflects the core principles of Islamic legal ethics and functions as a normative expression of the sharī‘ah. Using a normative-theoretical legal framework combined with a maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah analysis, the research engages Qur’anic and Hadith texts, classical and modern fiqh discussions, uṣūl al-fiqh, Indonesian regulatory provisions on premarital counseling, and scholarly works on Islamic Family Law. The results show that major triggers of marital breakdown emotional instability, financial pressure, recurring disputes, and limited understanding of marital responsibilities can be reduced through structured premarital education. These programs strengthen spiritual awareness, emotional resilience, communication skills, conflict-resolution abilities, and economic management. Consequently, premarital education becomes a strategic mechanism for nurturing harmonious households and reinforcing the framework of Islamic Family Law in Indonesia, positioning it as a sharī‘ah oriented tool vital for contemporary social welfare.  

This study analyzes the integration of turoth (classical Islamic scholarship) and digital media in moderate Islamic education through Gus Kautsar’s YouTube lectures. Amid concerns that religious digitalization may simplify Islamic teachings and reduce epistemological depth, this research examines whether turoth transmission in digital platforms maintains traditional scholarly structures. Using a qualitative approach with thematic content analysis, this study analyzes three classical text-based lecture videos published between January and March 2024. The findings show that turoth is represented through direct reading of Arabic classical texts, hierarchical argument structures (Qur’an–Hadith–Ulama), references to madhhab authorities, and contextualization of contemporary digital issues. The adaptation identified is pedagogical rather than epistemological, reflected in episodic segmentation, communicative translation, and contextual illustrations suited to Generation Z’s learning patterns. Furthermore, moderate Islamic education in the analyzed content emerges not through normative slogans, but through systematic engagement with classical texts. This study demonstrates that digital media can function as a medium for recontextualizing Islamic tradition while fostering moderate religious values among Generation Z in the digital era.

The discipline of Qur'anic Studies (‘Ulūm al-Qur’ān) has experienced a significant paradigm shift from the classical textual-normative approach to a modern contextual and hermeneutic framework. This systematic literature review aims to map the dynamics of this growth by evaluating the ontological, epistemological, and teleological boundaries of Qur'anic studies within contemporary Islamic scholarship. Utilizing a qualitative Systematic Literature Review (SLR) design, data were gathered from reputable academic journals published over the last decade and analyzed through thematic synthesis. The findings reveal four major transformations. First, an ontological redefinition where the Qur'an is no longer viewed merely as a static written text, but as a performative living discourse, necessitating a strict demarcation between the Qur'an and Hadith to prevent the sacralization of the profane. Second, an epistemological reconstruction that shifts the discipline from mechanistic auxiliary sciences to a holistic-interdisciplinary methodology integrating social sciences and humanities. Third, an expansion of scope beyond textual analysis into applied realities, notably the emergence of Living Qur'an and Digital Qur'an sub-disciplines responding to the disruption of religious authority. Fourth, a teleological shift where the ultimate goal of studying the Qur'an transitions from individual piety to social transformation, serving as an intellectual defense mechanism against post-truth populism and promoting emancipatory theology. The implication of this study suggests that contemporary Qur'anic studies must proactively offer ethical frameworks for global challenges rather than merely preserving historical dogma

The research in this paper aims to explore the concepts and principles of the educational environment from the perspective of the Qur'an and Hadith using a tafsir tarbawi (educational exegesis) approach. The developmental dynamics of human potential, both spiritual and intellectual, do not occur in a vacuum but are heavily influenced by environmental factors (educational ecology). By employing textual, thematic, and contextual analysis methods on several key verses such as QS. Al-Alaq: 1-5, QS. At-Tahrim: 6, QS. Luqman: 13-19, QS. Al-Kahfi: 66-70, and QS. Al-Hujurat: 13 this study maps the Islamic educational ecosystem into several primary domains. The results of the analysis indicate that the Qur'an constructs the educational environment as an integrative macro-systemic unity, comprising the domestic family environment (as a fortress for moral and creedal protection), the formal academic school/pesantren environment (as a space for teacher-student etiquette and ethics), and the socio-communal environment (as an arena for egalitarian multicultural inclusivity). Furthermore, this study formulates five fundamental paradigms of Islamic educational ecology: the integralistic, tawhid (monotheistic), humanistic-egalitarian, gradual-systemic, and transformational-emancipatory paradigms. This theoretical reconstruction corrects Western secular empiricism while simultaneously providing a holistic foundation for educators in managing an educational environment that aligns with divine revelation values and the demands of modern civilization.

This research is motivated by the low interest of students in learning the Qur'an and Hadith due to the dominance of conventional teaching methods that are considered less engaging. The study aims to examine the role of interactive learning media in increasing students’ learning motivation at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah. The research employs a qualitative literature study approach by collecting credible sources, including journal articles, textbooks, and previous research findings. Content analysis techniques were used to identify patterns, relationships, and important insights from the collected data. The findings indicate that interactive media such as educational videos, interactive animations, dynamic PowerPoint presentations, and digital quizzes significantly enhance students’ interest and motivation in learning. This improvement is reflected in higher levels of attention, curiosity, participation, and engagement during the learning process. In addition, the use of interactive media helps present Qur'an and Hadith concepts in a more concrete, attractive, and enjoyable way, thereby improving students’ understanding of the material. The study implies that integrating technology-based learning media can become an innovative strategy to optimize the teaching and learning process in Islamic elementary education institutions.

The study of takhrij al-hadith plays a crucial role in hadith scholarship, involving the tracing of transmission sources and evaluating the authenticity of sanad and matn through systematic analysis. In contemporary studies, differences in scholars’ approaches have led to variations in hadith classification and epistemological orientation. However, comparative research examining methodological criticism, epistemological foundations, and operational procedures of modern takhrij remains limited. This study aims to critically compare the methodologies of Muḥammad Nāṣiruddīn al-Albānī and Muqbil bin Hādī al-Wādiʿī, focusing on their evaluation of sanad and matn. Using a qualitative approach with an integrative literature review, this research analyzes primary works and relevant academic sources. The findings reveal three main epistemological patterns: independent reasoning through cross-narration, methodological caution based on classical authority, and a shared reliance on jarḥ wa taʿdīl. These differences influence hadith classification and reflect varying depths of criticism. The study shows that contemporary hadith criticism forms an epistemological spectrum rather than a strict methodological divide. It also highlights implications for religious practices, including the Megengan tradition in Java, which adapts to socio-economic contexts, and enriches comparative studies in hadith methodology.

Etos kerja dan kewirausahaan ialah aspek penting dalam membangun kesejahteraan individu dan masyarakat, namun dalam praktiknya belum sepenuhnya berlandaskan nilai-nilai keislaman. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan pemahaman yang lebih mendalam mengenai konsep kerja dan kewirausahaan yang bersumber dari ajaran Islam. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji konsep etos kerja dan kewirausahaan berdasarkan tafsir al-Qur’an dan hadits Nabi sebagai landasan moral dan spiritual dalam aktivitas ekonomi. Studi ini memakai metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kepustakaan melalui penelaahan berbagai literatur berupa buku tafsir, kitab hadits, serta artikel jurnal ilmiah yang relevan dengan tema penelitian. Data yang diperoleh kemudian dianalisis secara deskriptif dan tematik untuk menemukan nilai-nilai utama yang terkandung dalam ajaran Islam terkait aktivitas kerja dan usaha. Hasil kajian memperlihatkan bahwa Islam menekankan nilai kerja keras, kejujuran, tanggung jawab, kemandirian, disiplin, serta orientasi keberkahan sebagai prinsip utama dalam bekerja dan berwirausaha. Kesimpulannya, etos kerja dan kewirausahaan dalam perspektif Islam tidak hanya berorientasi pada pencapaian materi, melainkan juga pada pembentukan akhlak mulia sekaligus kepatuhan kepada Allah sebagai tujuan utama kehidupan.

Production is a fundamental component of economic activity that plays a strategic role in achieving human well-being. From an Islamic economic perspective, production is understood not only as a technical process aimed at creating or increasing the utility value of goods and services, but also as a manifestation of human responsibility as leaders on this earth. Using an Islamic economic interpretation of the verses of the Qur'an and hadith, this study aims to examine the concept of production in depth from an Islamic economic perspective. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, this research technique utilizes a literature review to examine Islamic economic literature and relevant interpretations, in addition to primary sources such as the Qur'an and hadith. The results show that the Qur'an and hadith provide a framework for production that integrates moral, social, and spiritual values ​​into economic activities, utilizes natural resources optimally and sustainably, and produces halal goods and services. Along with material gain, Islamic manufacturing aims to promote social justice, individual well-being, and ecological harmony. Therefore, the concept of production from an Islamic economic perspective makes economic activity a form of worship and a tool for developing well-being that adheres to the principles of Islamic law.

This study aims to improve students' understanding of the obligation to serve their parents through the application of mind mapping in the 11th-grade Al-Qur'an and Hadith subject at MA NU Maron. The background of this study was the lack of student understanding of the material presented using conventional methods, necessitating learning innovations that are engaging and motivating. This study used a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach, implemented in two cycles. Each cycle included planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The research instruments consisted of comprehension tests, observation sheets, and documentation. The results showed that the application of the mind mapping method increased student engagement in the learning process, facilitated their understanding of the material, and strengthened their memory. In the first cycle, students' learning achievement showed an initial increase, and in the second cycle, the results improved significantly, reaching the specified success indicator. Thus, it can be concluded that the mind mapping method is effective in improving students' understanding of the Al-Qur'an and Hadith subject, particularly the material on the obligation to serve their parents.
