As an Islamic movement and da'wah of Amar Ma'ruf Nahi Mungkar, which are sourced from the Quran and sunnah, Muhammadiyah needs to move in the regeneration process for the creation of progress or civilization. The purpose of this study is to know the concept of Muhammadiyah cadre development at the Muhammadiyah Boarding School Pleret Bantul Yogyakarta. This research is field research using a qualitative descriptive approach. This approach is intended to collect in-depth information about the development of Muhammadiyah cadres in the Muhammadiyah Boarding School Pleret Bantul Yogyakarta and get appropriate results from field research. Data collection is carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. In addition, researchers collect data by triangulation, which is collecting data while testing the credibility of the data by comparing various data collection techniques and various data sources. After all the data is collected, data analysis is carried out by reducing the data, presenting the data, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that the development of Muhammadiyah cadres was carried out through learning activities, organizations, and islamic boarding schools. The implementation of the development of Muhammadiyah cadres is divided into three stages, namely preparation, implementation, and evaluation

This study investigates the phonological interference of the Javanese language in Arabic communication among students at Pesantren. Arabic is a medium of instruction and daily communication within the pesantren, yet students’ mother tongue often influences their mastery of Arabic. This qualitative descriptive research identifies and categorizes forms of phonological interference—such as the insertion of non-Arabic phonemes like ta, to, e, seh, and yo—which significantly alter the intended meaning in Arabic discourse. Data were collected through structured observations, interviews, and audio recordings. The findings demonstrate a persistent pattern of phonemic substitution and addition that impacts pronunciation, intonation, and syntactic fluency in Arabic speech. This study reveals the linguistic challenges posed by triglossia and bilingualism in traditional Islamic boarding schools. It provides pedagogical recommendations, including phonological awareness training and the integration of contrastive linguistic methods. These insights are vital for developing more adaptive Arabic language instruction tailored to the linguistic realities of pesantren students, thereby contributing to more effective bilingual education frameworks in Islamic learning institutions

The phenomenon of childfree , namely the conscious decision not to have offspring, is a contemporary social dynamic that impacts the Islamic family law system, particularly in the area of inheritance. This study aims to analyze how the choice of childfree  affects the structure of inheritance rights in Islam and how the maqashid syari’ah approach can be employed to address these changes. Employing normative legal research methods with theological, conceptual, and maqashid syari’ah approaches, the study finds that the absence of descendants due to a childfree  decision shifts the inheritance structure to horizontal relatives or the public treasury (Baitul Mal). Instruments such as wills (wasiyyah) and grants (hibah) play a crucial role in regulating the distribution of estates in this context. The study concludes that although childfree  alters the traditional family structure, the principles of justice, property protection, and social sustainability can still be upheld within the Islamic legal framework through a maqashid syari’ah based reinterpretation. Therefore, strengthening legal literacy and adjusting regulations are essential to address this phenomenon fairly and in line with Islamic objectives.

Dalam masyarakat Indonesia, terdapat tradisi yang merepresentasikan respons sosial sebagai bentuk apresiasi terhadap kehadiran Al-Qur'an. Salah satu tradisi yang masih lestari hingga kini adalah Yasinan. Yasinan merupakan bentuk akulturasi budaya yang telah dilakukan oleh umat Islam di Indonesia secara turun-temurun. Tradisi ini dapat ditemukan di berbagai daerah, terutama di wilayah pedesaan atau perkampungan. Salah satu komunitas yang masih aktif menjalankan tradisi ini adalah masyarakat Desa Wonosari, Kecamatan Bengkalis, yang terus mempertahankan Yasinan sebagai bentuk penghormatan dan penghargaan terhadap Al-Qur'an dalam kegiatan rutin mereka. Penelitian ini merupakan studi lapangan dengan menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan studi dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat beberapa bentuk praktik pembacaan Surah Yasin di Desa Wonosari, yaitu: (1) Yasin pada malam Jumat, (2) Yasin saat sakratul maut, (3) Yasin setelah kematian seseorang, (4) Yasin sebagai pengobatan, (5) Yasin pada malam Nisfu Sya’ban, dan (6) Yasin dalam rangka memenuhi hajat tertentu. Motivasi dan tujuan masyarakat dalam menjalankan tradisi Yasinan meliputi ibadah sosial untuk mempererat silaturahmi, sebagai media doa untuk kesembuhan, bagian dari amal ibadah rutin, membantu mempermudah proses sakratul maut, serta sebagai washilah doa bagi orang yang telah meninggal dunia. Penelitian ini memberikan wawasan mengenai fenomena Living Qur'an dalam praktik keagamaan masyarakat serta peran Al-Qur'an dalam membentuk tradisi sosial dan budaya Islam di tingkat lokal.

This study examines the relationship between the concept of asbab al-nuzul in the Qur'an and the educational value contained therein. Asbab al-nuzul, which is the cause of the revelation of the Qur'anic verse, has an important role in understanding the meaning of the verse that is more contextual, as well as providing wisdom that can be applied in the world of education. Therefore, this study aims to explore the educational values that can be taken from asbab al-nuzul and how the strategy of embedding these educational values in the learning process can be used. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with a literature review as a data collection technique. The results of this study show that the educational values found in asbab al-nuzul include determination, gradual learning, relevance of the context of events to teaching materials, and the formation of disciplined and responsible characters. This study concludes that asbab al-nuzul not only functions as an explanation of the context in which the verse was revealed but also as a means to instill educational values that can be applied in Islamic education, such as increasing faith, creating interesting learning, and developing the character of students. Strategies that can be applied to instill these educational values include relevant opening techniques, counseling, and adjusting the curriculum to the conditions of students.

Pengalaman Langsung atau Experiential Learning merupakan pembahasan yang cukup menarik karena melalui pembelajaran ini peserta didik akan mendapatkan pembelajaran secara utuh karena lebih menekankan kepada hal yang bersifat observasi sehingga seluruh tujuan pendidikan baik afektif, kognitif ataupun psikomotorik akan tercapai.

Masjid tidak hanya berperan sebagai tempat ibadah, tetapi juga memiliki potensi besar sebagai pusat layanan sosial yang inklusif. Namun, masih banyak masjid yang belum sepenuhnya mengakomodasi keberagaman kebutuhan sosial masyarakat. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji implementasi tiga dimensi inklusi sosial yakni akses, partisipasi, dan pemberdayaan dalam program Warung Makan Gratis (WMG) di Masjid Pemuda Konsulat Surabaya. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan metode studi kasus, data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara mendalam dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dimensi akses tercermin dalam keterbukaan informasi dan kemudahan fisik dalam menjangkau program. Dimensi partisipasi terlihat dari keterlibatan aktif penerima manfaat dalam pelaksanaan dan pengembangan program. Sementara itu, dimensi pemberdayaan terwujud dalam transformasi positif yang dialami penerima manfaat dari sisi sosial, ekonomi dan spiritual. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa program WMG merupakan contoh konkret dari praktik inklusi sosial berbasis masjid yang berhasil menjangkau kelompok rentan secara luas. Temuan ini memberikan kontribusi terhadap pengembangan literatur inklusi sosial dalam konteks keagamaan serta menawarkan model praktik baik yang dapat direplikasi oleh masjid atau lembaga keagamaan lainnya.

The paper examines the idea of Islamization of human knowledge as formulated by Mohd. Kamal Hassan (1942-2023). It aims to survey its thoughtful and lasting impact as reflected in the context of his inspiring moral, spiritual, and religious ideals that influence intellectual tradition and metaphysical consciousness and the contemporary landscape of educational policy and practice in Malaysia. The philosophy and conceptual framework of Islamization of knowledge he developed was realized in the curriculum and policies of the International Islamic University Malaysia, whose structural formation and ideology were enshrined in the University’s constitution since its establishment in 1983. The study is based on a qualitative method in the form of a literature review and documentary survey. The data were scientifically analyzed using descriptive, analytical, historical, and synthesis frameworks to make an objective and accurate finding. The finding shows that Kamal has made a significant and influential impact in gearing the ideas of the tawhid worldview through his inspiring works that planned and implemented the principle of Islamization of knowledge in Malaysia. The study contributes to highlighting his consequential and unprecedented concept and holistic approaches in introducing a comprehensive theory and values of tawhid and its cultural manifestation through the theory of Islamization (Islamiyyatul ma‘rifat), integration of knowledge and values (takamul al-ma‘rifi), comprehensive excellence and Islamicization that help to reset the current context and progress of education and intellectual life in Malaysia

Artikel ini mengkaji pentingnya pendidikan tinggi sebagai bagian dari aktualisasi fitrah manusia dalam perspektif Islam yang wasathiyah dengan pendekatan multidisipliner sejarah, filsafat, dan sosial keagamaan. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh masih kuatnya pandangan patriarkis dan deterministik dalam masyarakat pesisir Pantura yang menganggap pendidikan tinggi, terutama bagi perempuan, sebagai hal yang kurang esensial. Melalui pendekatan kualitatif studi pustaka dan analisis teks, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa pendidikan tinggi bukan hanya sarana untuk mencetak tenaga profesional, tetapi juga merupakan jalan kodrati bagi manusia untuk mengembangkan potensi akal, spiritual, dan sosialnya. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa konsep fitrah, ikhtiar, dan takdir dalam Islam justru mendorong manusia untuk terus belajar, termasuk hingga ke jenjang pendidikan tinggi. Integrasi teori pendidikan klasik nativisme, empirisme, dan konvergensi dengan prinsip-prinsip Islam menghasilkan kerangka pemikiran baru tentang urgensi pendidikan tinggi dalam membangun masyarakat yang berdaya dan berkeadaban. Implikasi dari studi ini memberikan dorongan untuk mendesain kurikulum dan kebijakan pendidikan yang inklusif serta kontekstual terhadap realitas sosial-ekonomi kawasan pesisir. Penelitian ini menyarankan pentingnya keterlibatan negara, pesantren, dan keluarga dalam menyadarkan masyarakat akan nilai strategis pendidikan tinggi sebagai jalan fitrah yang berkelanjutan.

Mosques, as the center of worship for Muslims, play a strategic role in the formation of an empowered society. However, in the context of Jakarta as an urban city, the role of mosques in the economic empowerment of the people is still not optimal. This research aims to explore and analyze the role of mosques in revitalizing da'wah, which includes spiritual aspects and economic empowerment of the people. Using a qualitative approach and case study method, this study examines several mosques in Jakarta that have implemented various da'wah-based economic empowerment programs, such as mosque cooperatives, entrepreneurship training, and other social programs. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation analysis. The study results show that although some mosques have successfully implemented economic empowerment programs, there are challenges in integrating da'wah aspects with economic empowerment. The main obstacles include limited resources, lack of coordination between institutions, and shifting da'wah focus. This study recommends a revitalization strategy to strengthen the role of mosques in the economic empowerment of the ummah through the synergy between da'wah, education, and community-based economic empowerment. It is hoped that the results of this research can contribute to optimizing the function of mosques as da'wah centers that are integrated with economic empowerment in urban communities

In this modern era, mental health is an important aspect of human life that is often overlooked. The practice of dhikr, as a form of Islamic meditation, has been recognized in the Islamic tradition as a way to get closer to Allah and calm the soul. This study aims to identify the effect of dhikr on brain neuroplasticity and its implications for mental health. Using the thematic tafsir method, this study collects and analyzes Qur'anic verses related to dhikr and mental health, and examines books of tafsir as primary data sources, while secondary data are taken from books and scientific journal articles. The results show that the practice of dhikr can result in the formation of new neural pathways related to concentration, emotional control, and improved cognitive abilities. Regular dhikr activities are proven to strengthen the brain's synaptic connections and improve the optimization of brain function through engaged focus. These findings indicate a convergence between spiritual practices and scientific findings, making dhikr an effective way to improve mental health and overall quality of life

Kajian ini dilatar belakangi oleh pentingnya keterkaitan antara budaya lokal dan penafsiran Al-Qur’an, khususnya dalam konteks budaya Sunda. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji bagaimana nilai-nilai budaya Sunda diadaptasi dalam tafsir Al-Qur’an serta bagaimana tafsir tersebut berkontribusi dalam pelestarian budaya lokal. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi pustaka untuk menganalisis hubungan antara tafsir dan budaya Sunda melalui perspektif antropologi budaya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tafsir Ahmad Sanusi tidak hanya menjadi sarana dakwah Islam, tetapi juga berperan dalam melestarikan budaya Sunda. Hal ini tercermin dalam penggunaan bahasa Sunda, sistem undak-usuk basa, serta nilai sosial seperti silih asah, silih asih, dan silih asuh. Selain itu, Ahmad Sanusi mengakomodasi unsur budaya lokal, seperti tawasul dan pagelaran wayang golek, sebagai media dakwah yang relevan dengan masyarakat Sunda. Dengan demikian, tafsir Al-Qur’an tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai penjelasan terhadap teks suci, tetapi juga sebagai bagian dari warisan budaya yang mencerminkan identitas lokal serta membuktikan bahwa ajaran Islam dapat berharmoni dengan kearifan lokal tanpa menghilangkan nilai-nilai universalnya.

Currently, the debate surrounding the lineage of the Habib is becoming increasingly widespread. However, in recent developments, this issue has turned into a platform for mutual hatred. Therefore, a middle ground is needed to prevent the discourse on lineage from spiraling out of control. The Qur’an can serve as a solution to strengthen the unity of the Muslim community. Using a literature study approach and critical analysis of Qur'anic arguments, this research investigates the exclusivity of the Habib title. This study offers a Qur'anic solution to address this phenomenon, particularly in fostering equality, Islamic brotherhood (ukhuwah Islamiyah), and social justice. It also aims to provide a more objective perspective on the position and role of the Habib within Muslim society and to develop a more inclusive approach to building communal harmony. In this study, the Qur’an, as the holy scripture, provides guidance on morality and brotherhood. It teaches that the most honorable person in the sight of Allah is the one with the highest level of piety (taqwa). This verse is relevant to all of humanity, regardless of ethnicity or lineage. The Qur’an emphasizes that what truly matters is piety, not social status. Piety arises from a transcendental moral awareness. The focus of Muslims should be on self-improvement rather than boasting about lineage, which only generates controversy without any real benefit.

The security santri system is still used by pesantren in Indonesia as a form of cultural preservation. However, many modern boarding schools today try to modify this system by imposing it on santri, who are still students/not yet graduated. This raises important questions about the quality of their learning because they have to bear double duties. To answer this hypothesis, a sample is needed in the form of the application of the security santri system with the status of students. This research is a qualitative study with data collection techniques in the form of interviews, observation, and documentation. The data analysis method in this research uses the descriptive analysis method. The result of this research is that the security santri system is not suitable for charging santri who are students. The security santri have a significant problem in the form of a busy schedule that reduces their rest time. Therefore, they often fall asleep during Dīnīyyah learning and formal high school, which causes their academic performance to decline. In addition, security santri who are less equipped with learning knowledge and age equality factors cause a lack of authority by their peers so that bullying arises as a form of dissatisfaction with their performance. This bullying ultimately causes the mentality of the security santri to fall, which then affects the quality of their learning.

This study examines the practice of breast milk donation in a village and its impact on nasab (lineage) status from Yusuf Qaradawi's perspective on breastfeeding regulations. The research aims to analyze how this practice influences mahram relationships in the village community. A qualitative approach with a case study method was used, employing in-depth interviews and documentation. The findings show that 19 residents have participated in breast milk donation. Among them, 10 individuals are considered mahram according to Yusuf Qaradawi’s criteria, having been breastfed more than five times, while eight individuals are not mahram as they were only breastfed once. A unique case was found where a couple unknowingly married their milk sibling, leading to their children performing tajdidunnikah (marriage renewal). The village community believes that a single instance of breastfeeding establishes a mahram relationship, differing from Yusuf Qaradawi’s view. The novelty of this research lies in its analysis of real cases within the context of Islamic family law and its application in rural society. This study contributes to the development of Islamic legal understanding regarding breast milk donation and provides a sociological perspective through Emile Durkheim's Structural Functionalism theory, demonstrating that mechanical solidarity plays a role in shaping legal norms in society.

The phenomenon of homosexuality has become a complex issue in the context of global social and cultural developments, especially in the modern era which often encourages a shift in traditional values. In Islam, the story of the people of Luth in the Qur'an is often used as the main basis for evaluating this phenomenon, with an emphasis on the prohibition of homosexual behavior which is considered morally and spiritually deviant. This study aims to analyze the laws and moral values ​​related to homosexuality based on the perspective of Ibn Kathir's interpretation. As one of the classical tafsir books that has a wide influence in the Islamic scientific tradition, Ibn Kathir's Tafsir offers a rich and in-depth approach in interpreting the verses of the Qur'an related to homosexuality, especially the story of the people of Prophet Luth. This study uses the thematic method (maudu'i) by collecting and analyzing verses related to homosexuality in the Qur'an, as well as examining the interpretation given by Ibn Kathir. The results of the study show that Ibn Kathir firmly categorizes homosexuality as a deviant act according to sharia and morals, and emphasizes the negative social and psychological impacts of such behavior. In his interpretation, he also highlights the importance of preserving family values, and strongly warns against acts that are contrary to human nature. This study also reviews the relevance of the moral values ​​contained in the interpretation for the context of modern society, especially in facing the challenges and debates regarding the normalization of homosexuality. This study is expected to contribute to understanding the Islamic perspective on the issue of homosexuality, as well as strengthening moral and legal insights in order to build a society based on religious and humanitarian values.
