The Saudi Arabian government issued a decree that a hajj visa is a valid requirement for the hajj pilgrimage. The emergence of this decree has brought various responses, both pro from the government and several contra opinions from hajj travel service providers and influencers. This study aims to explore the philosophical basis and unravel the roots of the polemic through an analysis of the Maqashid Syariah system approach according to Jaser Auda. The method used is library research, by using Jaser Auda's book entitled “Membumikan Hukum Islam Melalui Maqashid Syariah Pendekatan Sistem, terjemah dari Maqashid Shariah as Philosophy of Islamic Law A System Approach” as the main reference. This study produced three major points, including; First, before analyzing the law, we need to understand that the legal corridor is placed between sharia (basic and absolute), fiqh (interpretative results of sharia) and fatwa (always dynamic and contextual). Second, the law on the issue of hajj visas as a valid requirement for hajj is a fatwa corridor, it is a product born from the circumstances and needs of the times. Third, the Hajj visa fatwa is not only returned to the classical maqashid which tends to prioritize individual rights, but more broadly it also prioritizes rights beyond the individual (global security concerning Human Rights).

At the end of the Ottoman rule, Muslims experienced extraordinary setbacks in various fields. This is suspected to be due to several factors, including the difficulty of Muslims in understanding Islam, the spread of an understanding of Islam which seems old-fashioned, and the practice of practicing Islamic teachings which is considered quite deviant. One of the causes of all these causes is that the verses of the Quran that are understood are not in accordance with the context of the times. This research aims to explain interpretations with reformist-modernist nuances in the context of ideology, influence, relevant interpreters, and criticism of traditional Islam. The research method used is qualitative with descriptive analysis based on literature study. The conclusion of this research shows that the development of reformist tafsir emerged as a response to the decline of Muslims in all aspects of life. Reformers such as Jamaluddin Al-Afghani, Muhammad Abduh and Rasyid Rida had a significant influence on the development of tafsir with reformist-modernist nuances. Prominent mufassir in the archipelago who helped develop interpretations with reformist nuances include A. Hassan, Oemar Bakri, Buya Hamka, and KH. Bisri Musthofa..The leaders of the reformist movement also criticized many traditionalists who they considered to prioritize blind taqlid and were exposed to bid'ah and khurafat.

Based on the results of a questionnaire distributed by researchers, it is known that 63% of students do not know how to control themselves. An interview with one of the UIN Malang students with the initials YH said that he already knew about self-control, but had not been able to apply it because he had not found the right method of self-control. Therefore, this research aims to determine the effect of dhikr intensity on students' self-control. This research uses a quantitative design with a self-control scale instrument referring to Averill's self-control theory with 16 items. The dhikr intensity scale refers to Makmun's theory, which has a total of 15 statement items. Data analysis uses the simple regression analysis method. The results of the research show a significance level of 0.00, which means p = 0.000 (p < 0.01), meaning that there is a significant influence between the intensity of dhikr on self-control in students and the R Square value of 0.402, This means that the intensity of dhikr can influence students' self-control by 40.2%. The results of this research also provide an illustration that dhikr done istiqomah can improve a person's self-control.
