Kontribusi Pemikiran Islam terhadap Isu Kontemporer: Modernitas, Globalisasi, dan Keberlanjutan Lingkungan

Retna Dwi Estuningtyas — 2026-06-15

This article examines the contributions of Islamic thought in responding to three interrelated contemporary issues: modernity, globalization, and environmental sustainability. Employing an integrative library research approach drawing on recent primary and secondary sources (2020–2025), this study demonstrates that the Islamic epistemological framework—grounded in maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, the concept of khilāfah, and fiqh al-bīʾah—offers normative solutions that are both relevant and complementary to global sustainable development discourse. Key findings indicate that: (1) contemporary Islamic thought successfully dialogues between classical Islamic intellectual tradition and the demands of modernity without compromising theological integrity; (2) Islamic universalism provides a robust ethical foundation for responding to the disruptions of globalization; and (3) Qur'anic principles of mīzān and nahy 'an al-fasād bear direct relevance to the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This research contributes to the academic discourse of Islamic studies and global environmental studies, while providing a value-based Islamic policy framework.

Dakwah Transformasional Berdasarkan Spiritualitas Kenabian: Analisis Wacana Dakwah Habib Umar bin Hafidz di Jakarta

Sugito — 2026-06-15

Contemporary urban Muslim communities experience spiritual fragmentation, psychological pressure, and existential anxiety as consequences of modernization, digital acceleration, and urban lifestyles. This study aims to analyze the construction of discourse, dominant messages, and transformational values embedded in the preaching of Habib Umar bin Hafidz in Jakarta together with Majelis Rasulullah SAW. The research employs a qualitative approach using Content Analysis integrated with Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). Primary data were obtained from recordings of the YouTube broadcast “Rihlah Jakarta 2025.” The data were analyzed through thematic coding, discourse interpretation, and ideological analysis to identify patterns of spiritual communication and the construction of religious meaning. The findings reveal that the dominant themes of the preaching include love for Prophet Muhammad, strengthening of tawhid, spiritual purification, prophetic morality, and Islamic brotherhood. The study further shows that Habib Umar employs a humanistic, persuasive, and non-confrontational preaching model characterized by emotional spirituality, compassionate narratives, and reflective religious discourse. This study proposes the concept of “transformational da’wah based on prophetic spirituality” as an alternative framework for understanding contemporary urban da’wah. The findings contribute to the study of Islamic communication by demonstrating that prophetic spirituality functions not only as theological discourse but also as emotional healing, identity construction, and social transformation within modern urban Muslim communities.

Analisis Pengaruh Peran Masyarakat dalam Pembangunan Pendidikan Agama Islam di Indonesia

Siti Umi Kulsum — 2026-06-15

Islamic education plays an important role in forming individuals who are religious and have noble character. However, to achieve this goal, Islamic education cannot stand alone. The role and position of the community have a significant impact on shaping the direction and quality of this religious education system. This research aims to analyze the influence of the community's role in the development of Islamic religious education in Indonesia. The method used is library research with a descriptive qualitative approach, where data is collected from various literatures such as books and relevant scientific journals using content analysis techniques. The results show that the community has an obligation to maintain the continuity of education as a shared responsibility between the government, family, and educational institutions. There are three main factors that necessitate good communication between educational institutions and the community: changes in the nature of teaching, community expectations regarding educational changes, and the development of democratic thinking. Furthermore, community involvement can be carried out individually or organizationally, ranging from the use of services to decision-making in the development of madrasah.

Yurisprudensi Islam dan Fikih Sosial: Dampaknya terhadap Kesejahteraan Masyarakat di Indonesia

Abdain — 2026-06-15

Islamic jurisprudence remains a central foundation for Muslim social life, yet its practical relevance to contemporary welfare challenges requires further academic clarification. In Indonesia, where Islamic values interact with diverse cultural, institutional, and policy contexts, social fiqh has emerged as an important framework for translating Islamic legal principles into socially responsive practices. However, previous studies have often discussed Islamic jurisprudence and welfare separately, leaving a gap in explaining how social fiqh bridges normative legal theory and practical community welfare outcomes. This study investigates the relationship between Islamic jurisprudence and social fiqh by addressing the question of how Islamic legal principles are interpreted through social fiqh and how this interpretation contributes to community welfare in Indonesia. The study employed a qualitative library research design by reviewing secondary sources, including peer reviewed journal articles, open access academic publications, books, book chapters, and institutional reports. The selected literature was analyzed through qualitative content analysis and thematic analysis. The findings show that maqasid al shariah, maslahah, and adaptive legal reasoning are dominant frameworks in welfare oriented Islamic jurisprudence. Social fiqh is applied through zakat management, waqf development, Islamic social finance, religious leadership, and community based welfare programs. These findings imply that Islamic jurisprudence can serve as a dynamic theoretical and practical foundation for strengthening community welfare when supported by contextual interpretation, institutional accountability, and community participation.

Dari Teks ke Wacana: Interpretasi Kontekstual Al-Qur’an dalam Hermeneutika Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd

Shofiatul Jannah — 2026-06-15

This study examines the dialectical relationship between text and reality in the hermeneutics of Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd, particularly his understanding of the Qur’an as both a linguistic phenomenon and a cultural product. Abu Zayd argues that the Qur’an did not emerge in a historical vacuum, but was revealed within specific socio-historical, linguistic, and cultural contexts. From this perspective, he critiques rigid and ahistorical interpretations that separate the Qur’an from the realities of human life. This study employs a library research approach combined with thematic and hermeneutical analysis to explore the transformation of the Qur’an from a static text (mushaf) into a living discourse that continuously interacts with changing historical and social realities. The novelty of this study lies in its analysis of Abu Zayd’s hermeneutics not merely as a method of interpretation, but as an epistemological transformation that shifts the Qur’an from a fixed text toward a dialogical and contextual discourse. In addition, this study shows that Abu Zayd’s ideas generated intellectual debates concerning religious authority, interpretation, and the relationship between revelation and contemporary human experience. Ultimately, this study argues that Abu Zayd’s hermeneutics represents a critique of interpretive traditions that freeze the meaning of the Qur’an within rigid textual authority.

Peran TikTok sebagai Media Digital dalam Pembelajaran PAI di SMA Negeri 1 Bondowoso

Miftahul Jannah — 2026-06-15

Social media has become one of the sources of religious knowledge for teenagers. The rapid dissemination of information and the wide variety of Islamic content make social media an engaging and practical learning medium. However, not all information circulating on social media can be verified, which may lead to misunderstandings in religious practices. This study aims to determine the extent of the role of social media, particularly TikTok, in shaping teenagers’ religious understanding. The method used in this study was a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through interviews and observations involving high school students, Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers, and school authorities as the research subjects. The results show that social media provides easy and quick access to religious information and helps teenagers learn Islamic teachings more effectively. On the other hand, there is a risk of misuse of religious content due to misinterpretation, unverified content, and a lack of guidance from knowledgeable parties. In conclusion, TikTok plays an important role in shaping teenagers’ religious understanding. However, digital literacy and proper guidance are needed to ensure that the information obtained is aligned with Islamic values and does not lead to deviant interpretations.

Sekularisasi dalam Perspektif Tauhid: Analisis Pemikiran Nurcholish Madjid tentang Desakralisasi dan Pembaharuan Islam

Mohamad Asrori Mulky — 2026-06-15

This study aims to critically examine the concept of secularization in the thought of Nurcholish Madjid by situating it within the framework of tawhid. The research is motivated by the stagnation of Islamic thought amid modern challenges and the widespread misunderstanding of secularization, which is often equated with secularism. This study employs a qualitative method using library research, combined with a descriptive-analytical approach and content analysis techniques. The findings reveal that secularization, in Madjid’s perspective, does not imply the separation of religion from public life, but rather a process of desacralization of worldly matters that have been excessively sanctified. In this context, secularization is understood as a logical consequence of tawhid, affirming that only God is absolute. However, critical analysis indicates the presence of conceptual ambiguities, particularly in the use of the term secularization and the distinction between the sacred and the profane. Therefore, while the concept remains relevant in promoting Islamic intellectual reform, it requires methodological refinement to prevent it from drifting toward secularism or relativism.

Sistem Pendidikan Arab Saudi: Analisis Historis, Filosofis, Sosiologis, Yuridis, dan Implementasi Kebijakan Pendidikan Kontemporer

Siti Fathonah — 2026-06-15

This article examines Saudi Arabia's education system by focusing on the relationship between Islamic identity, institutional structure, and contemporary education reform under Vision 2030. The study is important because previous works often describe Saudi education in a general manner, while less attention is given to the tension between Islamic values, curriculum modernization, access equity, and global competitiveness. This study applies a library research method with narrative synthesis of official documents, international reports, and scholarly publications from 2015 to 2026. The findings show that Saudi education has moved from traditional mosque and kuttab-based learning to a centralized, free, and structured national system. Vision 2030 has strengthened learning quality, digital transformation, vocational education, research capacity, and alignment between education and labor-market needs. Nevertheless, the system still faces challenges in balancing religious authority, twenty-first century competencies, regional equity, and graduate quality. The article argues that the Saudi experience contributes to comparative Islamic education studies, especially in explaining how a Muslim state reforms education while maintaining religious foundations.

Penerapan Konsep Halal dalam Industri Farmasi dan Kosmetik di Indonesia

Ana Fauziah — 2026-06-15

The halal pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries are sectors that continue to grow in line with increasing public awareness of the importance of using products that comply with Islamic principles. Indonesia, as a country with a predominantly Muslim population, has significant potential for the development of the halal industry, particularly in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic sectors. This study aims to examine the implementation of halal concepts in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries in Indonesia through a review of raw materials, production processes, halal certification, and the development of halal cosmetic trends. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method using a literature review approach based on scientific journals, books, regulations, and related documents. The findings indicate that the implementation of halal principles is determined not only by the halal status of raw materials but also by production processes, storage, distribution, and the halal assurance system implemented by companies. Halal certification administered by the Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency (BPJPH) and supported by LPPOM MUI plays an important role in ensuring product halalness, enhancing consumer trust, and strengthening industrial competitiveness. In addition, the halal cosmetic market in Indonesia has shown significant growth due to increasing consumer demand for products that are safe, high-quality, and compliant with Islamic values. Therefore, synergy among the government, certification bodies, and industry stakeholders is needed to support the sustainable development of the halal pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

Dimensi Spiritual Bulan Haram dalam Al-Qur’an: Analisis Tafsir Q.S. At-Taubah: 36 dan Momentum Muharram 1448 H

Teuku Muhammad Fauzan Robbani — 2026-06-15

This study aims to deeply analyze the spiritual dimension of the sacred months based on the tafsir of surah At-Taubah verse 36, particularly on the momentum of welcoming the Muharram 1448 H New Year. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a literature study (library research) approach, based on the Tafsir Maudhui (thematic) analysis method to synthesize data comprehensively. The results of this study show that the prohibition of wronging oneself (do not wrong yourselves) in the sacred months indicates the importance of self-control from negative behaviors, maintaining mental health against social anxiety or insecurity, and avoiding an excessively consumptive lifestyle. This spiritual dimension can be actualized through the application of the concept of taqwa, a simple lifestyle (frugal living), and prioritizing spiritual wealth (inner wealth) over material goods. The momentum of Muharram 1448 H should serve as a means of collective self-reflection and strengthening da'wah values in Indonesia to cultivate true piety. This research contributes theoretically to the Qur'anic studies treasury by offering practical and spiritual solutions that are highly relevant to address the socio-psychological challenges of modern society.
