Formulasi Model Resiliensi Anak Pasca Perceraian Berbasis Surah al-Ṭalaq dan al-Nisā’ di Kelurahan Sijambi
The increasing divorce rate in various regions of Indonesia has created serious problems for children’s psychological resilience. At the same time, conventional approaches to family psychology tend to be partial and have not been integrated with the normative values ​​of the Qur’an. The focus of this study is directed at identifying resilience values ​​in Surah al-Ṭalaq and al-Nisā’, mapping the empirical conditions of children after divorce in Sijambi Village, and formulating a contextual, Qur’an-based resilience model. An integrative qualitative approach was used through a thematic interpretation study (mawḍūʻī) and a field study using data collection techniques such as in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, which were then analyzed using thematic and interactive models. The main findings indicate the existence of resilience values in the Qur’an, including dimensions of spiritual strengthening, emotional regulation, social responsibility, and child welfare guarantees, which function in both preventive and curative ways. Empirical conditions show variations in children’s resilience levels, influenced by the quality of family relationships, social support, and economic stability after divorce. The gap between normative values ​​and social practices is still evident in the weak internalization of religious values ​​in parenting. The formulation of an integrative, contextual, and applicable Qur’an-based resilience model has implications for strengthening family, educational, and community interventions in sustainably building children’s resilience.

Perilaku Semut dan Laba-Laba dalam Al-Qur’an: Telaah Tafsir Al-Munīr atas Surah al-Naml Ayat 18–19 dan al-‘Ankabūt Ayat 41–42 dalam Perspektif Biologi
An integrative study of Qur’anic interpretation and biology is important to broadening understanding of the behavioral phenomena of living creatures mentioned in the sacred text, especially ants and spiders, which have unique social and ecological characteristics. The purpose of this study is to confirm the analysis of the interpretation of Tafsir al-Munīr on Surah al-Naml verses 18–19 and al-‘Ankabūt verses 41–42 and assess its relevance to modern biological findings on communication, colony structure, and survival strategies. The method used is a qualitative literature study based on a thematic interpretation (mawḍūʻī) approach combined with interpretative-critical and comparative analysis to link textual meanings with contemporary scientific data. The results of the study show a significant correspondence between the Qur’anic description of the organized communication system of ants and biological findings related to chemical signals and colony coordination, as well as the depiction of spider webs as fragile structures that align with the material properties of their webs from a scientific perspective. Differences emerge in the symbolic dimension, which enriches ethical and reflective meaning beyond empirical explanation, thus presenting a depth of meaning that science cannot fully grasp. The implications of this study strengthen the contribution of interdisciplinary approaches to the study of interpretation and science, while maintaining the integrity of the text’s theological dimension without reducing its meaning.

Uji Validitas Sesajen Berdasarkan Surah Al-Baqarah Ayat 170: Studi Kasus di Desa Sumberejo Kecamatan Pagar Merbau
The practice of offerings persists in some Muslim communities as an expression of local traditions believed to have symbolic and protective functions. At the same time, Islamic teachings emphasize the purity of monotheism, thus creating normative tensions between culture and religious texts. The focus of this study is to test the validity of the practice of offerings through the recitation of Surah al-Baqarah verse 170, to assess its suitability from the perspective of the Qur’an. A qualitative case study-based approach was applied in Sumberejo Village, Pagar Merbau District through field observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using thematic interpretation to link the meaning of the verse to social reality. The results show that the practice of offerings is built on social constructions inherited from generation to generation, reinforced by cultural authority and collective beliefs about salvation. The analysis of the verse reveals criticism of the attitude of following traditions without rational basis and revelation, so that the practice of offerings is considered to have no legitimacy within the framework of monotheism. The validity test shows the inconsistency between local practices and the basic principles of Islamic teachings that reject all forms of symbolic intermediaries in requests for protection. The implications of this study enrich the development of contextual interpretations that are responsive to cultural realities and emphasize the dynamic relationship between religion and tradition in contemporary Muslim society.

Representasi Kekayaan dalam Surah al-Qaṣaṣ ayat 76–82: Pembacaan Tafsir al-Qurṭubī atas Budaya Flexing Remaja Muslim
The culture of flexing among Muslim youth in the digital space has developed as an expression of social status based on the display of wealth published through social media, giving rise to a symbolic orientation towards material things as well as a shift in ethical values ​​in interpreting wealth, so that reading the Qur’an becomes important as a normative basis for responding to this phenomenon. The purpose of this study focuses on analyzing the construction of the meaning of wealth in Surah al-Qaṣaṣ verses 76–82 according to al-Qurṭubī and its relevance to contemporary flexing practices. The approach used is qualitative, based on literature studies with the thematic interpretation method (mawḍūʻī), making Tafsir al-Qurṭubī the main reference through textual, thematic, and contextually critical analysis to interpret the relationship between the narrative of Qārūn and modern social phenomena. The study’s findings demonstrate the interpretation of wealth as a moral test that demands a balance between ownership and ethical awareness, where arrogance, ostentation, and denial of the social dimension are positioned as value deviations. In contrast, social responsibility, humility, and a utilitarian orientation become the primary principles. The practice of flexing is understood as transforming the meaning of wealth into a performative symbol that has the potential to obscure the ethical purpose of wealth ownership, thus giving rise to a consumerist and existential culture. The study’s implications emphasize the importance of internalizing the ethical values ​​of the Qur’an in controlling the expression of wealth in the digital space so that it remains oriented towards social welfare.

Taʻāwun dan Tradisi Pemotongan Lembu pada Peristiwa Kematian: Dialog Tafsir al-Misbah dan Tafsir Ibn Kaṡīr atas Surah al-Mā’idah Ayat 2
The practice of slaughtering cattle in the event of death in some Muslim communities raises normative tensions when confronted with the concept of taʻāwun in Surah al-Mā’idah: 2, which emphasizes cooperation in virtue and piety. This phenomenon shows the ambiguity between social solidarity and the potential shift in the value of worship into a socio-economic burden that causes problems. The study focuses on the interpretive dialogue between Tafsir Ibn Kaṡīr and Tafsir al-Misbah to examine the construction of the meaning of taʻāwun and its relevance in assessing the social practice of death. A qualitative approach based on literature studies is used, with a comparative analysis of the interpretations of both commentators, accompanied by a contextual reading of social reality. The results of the analysis show differences in epistemological orientation; Ibn Kaṡīr emphasizes the normative-textual dimension by affirming the boundary between virtue and practices that have the potential to lead to bidʻah, while Quraish Shihab offers a contextual reading with an emphasis on the value of benefit, social empathy, and the rationality of practice. The main findings indicate that taʻāwun is not merely symbolic cooperation, but rather an ethical principle that requires proportionality, non-burdensomeness, and alignment with the objectives of sharia. Theoretical implications point to strengthening an integrative approach to social interpretation. In contrast, practical implications emphasize the need to reconstruct traditions to align with collective virtues without creating socio-economic pressure on society.

Resepsi Surah al-Takāṡur dalam Tradisi Marzoah di Pemakaman Islam Kota Medan: Kajian Living Qur’an atas Praktik Memorialisasi Kematian
The practice of reciting Surah al-Takāṡur in the marzoah tradition in Islamic cemeteries in Medan City represents a form of Qur’an reception that lives within the socio-religious space while simultaneously emphasizing the urgency of a living Qur’an approach to understanding the dynamic relationship between the sacred text and death-ritual practices. The study focuses on analyzing the pattern of community reception, the construction of meaning attached to Surah al-Takāṡur, and the relationship between the text and death-memorialization practices in the local context. A qualitative approach based on the living Qur’an is used, with data collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using a thematic-interpretive framework to uncover layers of symbolic and functional meaning. The findings show variations in reception patterns that include performative, spiritual, and communal dimensions; Surah al-Takāṡur is understood as an eschatological reminder, an instrument for reflection on mortality, and a medium for strengthening social solidarity in death rituals. The construction of meaning develops through the interaction between normative teachings, local traditions, and the collective experiences of the congregation, resulting in an integration between textual messages and social practices. The relationship between text and practice demonstrates an adaptive negotiation of meaning, where Qur’anic recitation is not merely a symbolic ritual but a means of internalizing values ​​and shaping the community’s religious identity. The implications of this study enrich the theoretical framework of the living Qur’an and provide an empirical contribution to understanding the contextual and meaningful layers of Muslim religious practice.

Otoritas Politik dan Elite Sosial dalam Al-Qur’an: Analisis Semantik Toshihiko Izutsu terhadap Ūlī al-Amr dan al-Malā’
The construction of political authority and the configuration of social elites in the Qur’an require a reading that goes beyond a normative approach that is often merely descriptive, as such a framework often ignores the dynamics of meaning that form within the network of Qur’anic concepts. This study aims to uncover the meaning structure of Ūlī al-Amr and al-Malā’ and the conceptual relationship between them through Toshihiko Izutsu’s semantic approach. The method used is qualitative, based on a literature study, with an analysis of the basic meaning as the lexical meaning attached to the word, as well as the relational meaning formed in the field of meaning through its relationship with other concepts in the Qur’an. The results of the study show that Ūlī al-Amr has a relational character as a normative authority that gains legitimacy through its attachment to the values ​​of revelation, obedience, and moral responsibility in maintaining social order. On the other hand, al-Malā’ represents a social elite that operates within a framework of power based on status, wealth, and collective influence, with a tendency to build dominance and resistance to the messages of the prophets. The conceptual relationship between the two demonstrates a dichotomy between authority grounded in normative legitimacy and power rooted in social hegemony. The theoretical implications of this study emphasize the Qur’an’s conceptual distinction between legitimate, ethically oriented authority and power structures that tend to uphold the interests of dominant groups.

Konstruksi Makna Ṣalawāt dalam Surah al-Ahzab Ayat 56: Kajian atas Tafsir Rūḥ al-Bayān
The complexity of the meaning of ṣalawāt in Surah al-Ahzab: 56 gives rise to differences in interpretation between the normative, theological, and spiritual dimensions, thus demanding an approach capable of reaching layers of inner meaning in an integrative manner. This need underscores the relevance of Sufi interpretation in understanding the relationship among Allah, angels, and humans in the construction of ṣalawāt. The focus of this study is on analyzing the construction of the meaning of ṣalawāt in the Tafsīr Rūḥ al-Bayān by examining its semantic structure and underlying epistemological framework. A qualitative approach based on a literature review is used, employing the thematic interpretation method (mawḍūʻī) combined with the ishārī approach to uncover the symbolic and spiritual dimensions. The results of this study indicate a layered differentiation in the meaning of ṣalawāt, including transcendent praise of Allah, requests for mercy from the angels, and human spiritual praxis oriented towards self-purification. The semantic structure demonstrates the interrelationship between language, theology, and inner experience, while theological relations emphasize the Prophet’s position as the axis of spiritual mediation. The Sufi dimension leads to the internalization of ṣalawāt as a path to the soul’s perfection through awareness of the Divine presence in worship. The epistemology of interpretation in Rūḥ al-Bayān demonstrates the integration of external and internal meanings through directed spiritual intuition. The implications of this study advance tafsīr studies by offering an integrative framework that connects textual analysis, depth of meaning, and spiritual experience for understanding the verses of the Qur’an.

Kepemimpinan Keluarga dalam Al-Qur’an dan Transformasi Relasi Keluarga Perkotaan: Perspektif Tafsir Al-Azhar Karya Hamka
The dynamics of urban family relations demonstrate shifts in authority, role negotiations, and the intensification of equality values ​​that often clash with Qur’anic norms regarding family leadership. The focus of this study is the concept of qiwāmah in Hamka’s Tafsir al-Azhar and its relevance in a pluralistic, complex modern context. A qualitative approach based on literature studies is used, employing thematic and contextual interpretation analysis to examine verses on family leadership and Hamka’s interpretation within a socio-cultural framework. The results of this study reinterpret qiwāmah as ethical leadership grounded in responsibility, moral capacity, and competence, rather than in gender-based structural domination. Hamka’s interpretation displays conceptual flexibility that creates space for a proportional distribution of roles in urban families, while emphasizing the principles of justice, deliberation, and collective responsibility. The dialectic between text and context demonstrates the integration of Qur’anic normative values ​​with contemporary social realities through adaptive readings that maintain the substance of the teachings without ignoring social change. These findings strengthen the position of contextual interpretation as an approach capable of bridging the tension between religious norms and the transformation of the modern family, while also providing theoretical contributions to the development of thematic interpretation studies and Islamic family studies in the global urban landscape.

Internalisasi Nilai Pendidikan Akhlak Al-Qur’an melalui Kitab Waṣayā al-Ābā’ lil-Abnā’ di Pondok Pesantren Al-YusufiyahWar-Ridwaniyah
The contemporary moral crisis among Muslim youth demands strengthening strategies for internalizing Qur’anic moral values within educational institutions, drawing on the classical Islamic boarding school tradition. This study aims to analyze the structure of moral values ​​in the Waṣayā al-Ābā’ lil-Abnā’ Book, examine the internalization patterns applied at the Al-Yusufiyah War-Ridwaniyah Islamic Boarding School, examine the dialectic between normative texts and the context of educational practice, and identify the manifestations of values ​​in the lives of students. A qualitative approach is used with a field study design through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and the data are then analyzed thematically and critically to find integrated patterns of meaning. The results of the study show that the structure of moral values in the book comprises dimensions of personal etiquette, social relations, and spiritual responsibility, which are internalized through habituation, exemplary behavior by kyai, repetition of texts, and social control rooted in Islamic boarding school culture. The dialectic of text and context shapes the transformation of values from normativity to ethical praxis, alive in the daily lives of students, as reflected in the discipline of worship, communication ethics, and collective awareness of the values of simplicity and respect. Academic contributions lie in strengthening the integrative model of value internalization, ​​based on turath’ books, that combines cognitive, affective, and practical dimensions, while also offering a new conceptual framework for the study of Islamic boarding school moral education oriented towards sustainable character formation.

Konsep Kebersihan dalam Al-Qur’an Menurut Hamka: Integrasi Dimensi Spiritual dan Fisik dalam Tafsir Al-Azhar
The concept of cleanliness in the Qur’an holds a fundamental position as the basis for the formation of individual and social ethics. At the same time, contemporary exegetical studies still tend to separate the spiritual and physical dimensions, resulting in partial understandings. This paper aims to examine the concept of cleanliness in Hamka’s Tafsir al-Azhar integratively to construct a meaning that unites both dimensions within a complete epistemological framework. The method used is a qualitative approach based on literature studies with thematic interpretation techniques and a hermeneutic-contextual approach to interpret the verses on cleanliness comprehensively. The results of the analysis show a conceptual integration of external and internal cleanliness through an emphasis on the purity of the soul, disciplined worship, and social responsibility, as reflected in daily practice. Hamka’s interpretation constructs cleanliness as a multidimensional value system that connects personal ethics, physical health, and transcendental awareness in a mutually reinforcing unity. This integration demonstrates an interpretive orientation that is both contextual and normative, with strong relevance to modern problems such as environmental degradation and moral crisis. The academic implications confirm Hamka’s significant contribution to the development of integrative interpretation studies that connect normative, ethical, and practical dimensions, while enriching the hermeneutic approach in understanding the Qur’an holistically and contextually.

Epistemologi Tafsir al-Adabī al-Ijtimāʻī dalam Merespons Problem Sosial Masyarakat
The normative-textual interpretation approach often faces limitations in addressing the complexity of contemporary social problems, which are dynamic and multidimensional, thereby underscoring the urgency of strengthening the interpretation framework of al-Adabī al-Ijtimaʻī as a more contextual and responsive model. This paper aims to analyze the epistemological construction of the interpretation of al-Adabī al-Ijtimaʻī, unravel the methodological mechanisms used, examine the dynamics of responses to social reality, and evaluate its strengths and limitations in the development of contemporary interpretation studies. The method used is a qualitative study based on literature studies with an epistemological approach and critical analysis of relevant classical and modern literature. The results of the study show that the epistemology of the interpretation of al-Adabī al-Ijtimaʻī is integrative, synthesizing linguistic, literary, and social dimensions; contextual in reading the historical and sociological realities of society; and responsive in formulating solutions grounded in applicable Qur’anic values. This approach can provide adaptive interpretations of social justice, economic inequality, and cultural transformation while maintaining the coherence of the text’s meaning. However, limitations are identified in the interpreter’s potential for subjectivity and the challenge of maintaining methodological consistency. Theoretical implications point to strengthening the paradigm of interpretation grounded in scientific epistemology, thereby opening a more systematic and critical dialogue between text and reality in the development of contemporary interpretation methodology.

Childfree Persfektif Al-Qur’an: Studi Penafsiran Buya Hamka Terhadap Konsep Rezeki Anak dalam Tafsir Al-Azhar
The childfree phenomenon in contemporary Muslim communities demonstrates a shift in family orientation that challenges the normative construction of offspring as an integral part of religious life, particularly when linked to the concept of children’s sustenance in the Qur’an, which has been understood within established theological and social frameworks. This study aims to examine in depth Buya Hamka’s interpretation in Tafsir al-Azhar regarding the concept of children’s sustenance and assess its conceptual relevance in responding to the childfree discourse that is developing in modern society. A qualitative approach based on literature studies is used, employing thematic interpretation methods to trace verses related to sustenance and offspring, and is then analyzed using an interpretative-critical approach to identify Hamka’s argumentation patterns and epistemological orientations. The results of the study show that the construction of children’s sustenance in the Qur’an not only refers to material security but also reflects the relationship of human existential dependence on God, encompassing spiritual, ethical, and social dimensions in an integrated manner. Hamka’s interpretation displays a rational-religious character that emphasizes the balance between human endeavor and belief in the guarantee of sustenance, while simultaneously criticizing the reduction of sustenance’s meaning to mere economic calculations. In the context of childfree life, this framework demonstrates the tension between modern rationality, grounded in life planning, and the theological paradigm regarding the blessings of offspring and the family’s moral responsibility. The implications of this study enrich contemporary exegetical discourse through a contextual reading of the verses about sustenance and offer a conceptual foundation for formulating Islam’s position on childfree choices in a more proportionate, reflective, and argumentative manner.

Model Epistemologis Penyusunan Proposal Penelitian Tafsir bagi Pengembangan Riset Ilmu Al-Qur’an
The problems in preparing an interpretation research proposal reveal the tension between the classical epistemological framework and contemporary methodological demands, which often leads to unclear scientific foundations, inconsistent approaches, and weak scientific argumentation. The purpose of this study is to formulate a systematic epistemological model as a conceptual basis for designing an interpretation research proposal that is coherent, analytical, and relevant to the development of Qur’anic science. A qualitative approach based on a literature study is used, through critical reading of the interpretation literature, research methodology, and epistemological theory, with an epistemological-critical orientation. The results of the study show four main findings: first, identification of epistemological foundations that include sources of knowledge, validity of interpretation, and ontological framework of the text; second, mapping of methodological problems in the form of reductionism of approach, inconsistency between problem formulation and method, and minimal integration of context; third, formulation of the ideal structure of the proposal that includes coherence between the background, problem formulation, objectives, theoretical framework, method, and scientific contribution; fourth, epistemological integration emphasizes the dialectical relationship between text, interpreter, and context in the research process. Scientific implications confirm this model’s contribution to improving the quality of interpretive research proposals, making them more systematic, critical, and contextual, thereby strengthening the sustainable development of Qur’anic research.

Program Beasiswa Generasi Cahaya Pintar dan Penguatan Kapasitas Akademik Mahasiswa UINSU: Perspektif Surahal-Mujādilah Ayat 11 dan Surah al-Tawbah Ayat 122
Strengthening the academic capacity of students in Islamic higher education institutions is a strategic agenda for developing superior human resources and establishing a scientific culture that is responsive to social challenges. Scholarship programs play a crucial role in increasing access to education, developing competencies, and fostering academic character grounded in Qur’anic values. This study examines the Smart Light Generation Scholarship Program at the State Islamic University of North Sumatra through the perspective of Surah al-Mujādilah verse 11 and Surah al-Tawbah verse 122, which emphasize the virtue of knowledge, the elevation of the status of knowledgeable people, the deepening of knowledge, and the social responsibility of science. The study’s objectives include an analysis of the normative foundation, the suitability of the program design, the dynamics of strengthening students’ academic capacity, and the development of an academic culture grounded in Qur’anic values. A qualitative approach with a case study design and thematic interpretation analysis (mawḍūʻī) was employed, using in-depth interviews, observations, and document studies. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, conclusion, and source triangulation. The results show that Surah al-Mujādilah verse 11 and Surah al-Tawbah verse 122 provide a solid normative foundation for strengthening academic capacity; the design of the Smart Light Generation Scholarship Program aligns with the orientation of scientific development; the program implementation increases learning motivation, academic productivity, participation in scientific forums, leadership skills, and academic networks; and encourages the formation of an academic culture that emphasizes scientific social responsibility. These findings have implications for the development of scholarship policies in Islamic universities that are oriented towards strengthening academic capacity and internalizing Qur’anic values.

Pembentukan Habitus Qur’ani melalui Tradisi Menghafal di Rumah Tahfidz Al-Munif: Kajian Living Qur’an
The development of the Living Qur’an study has broadened the understanding of the Qur’an not only as a normative text, but also as a social practice that is lived and interpreted in everyday life. However, studies on Qur’an memorization are still dominated by technical and pedagogical discussions, so the process of forming a Qur’anic habitus through the tradition of memorization has not been explored in depth. The Al-Munif Tahfidz House becomes a relevant social arena to study the mechanisms of internalization and reproduction of Qur'anic values ​​through the daily practices of students. This study aims to analyze the formation of a Qur’anic habitus through the tradition of memorizing the Qur’an at the Al-Munif Tahfidz House from the Living Qur’an perspective. The research uses a qualitative approach based on the Living Qur’an study with data collection through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, which are analyzed interpretively using Pierre Bourdieu’s habitus theory. The findings show that the tradition of memorization functions as a Living Qur’an practice that presents the Qur’an in everyday space through the routine of memorization, time discipline, muraja’ah, habituation of worship, and pedagogical interactions between the ustaz and students. This process internalizes Qur’anic values ​​that are manifested in religious dispositions, behavioral patterns, learning ethos, and social identities of students, and is continuously reproduced through institutional culture, role models, and collective practices. This study strengthens the Living Qur’an perspective in understanding memorization as a social practice that forms a religious habitus and contributes to the development of a Qur’anic education model oriented towards character formation and Qur’anic culture.

Pelarangan Khamr dalam Al-Qur’an dan Adaptasi Ekonomi Masyarakat Madinah: Studi Historis tentang Respons Pasar terhadap Tasyrīʻ Bertahap
The prohibition of alcohol in the Qur’an is an example of the gradual transformation of religious regulations in Medina society, which previously recognized the production, distribution, and consumption of intoxicating beverages. Studies on the alcohol verses have developed from the perspective of Islamic interpretation and law. At the same time, analysis of market responses and economic adaptation mechanisms during the tashrīʻ (law-making) process remains relatively limited. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the stages of alcohol prohibition, changes in people’s economic behavior, and the process of market reorganization in the early Islamic period. The study uses a qualitative literature approach with historical methods, a socio-economic history approach, mawḍūʻī interpretation, and a historical-critical analysis of alcohol verses, hadith, and early Islamic historical sources. The results show a pattern of economic adjustment that occurred along with the development of the stages of alcohol prohibition. The phase of recognizing moral and social risks drove changes in public perception of alcohol commodities. The phase of limiting consumption involves reducing the use of public spaces. The total prohibition phase was met by halting circulation, destroying stocks, and shifting economic activity toward commodities recognized within the Islamic economic framework. Historical data demonstrate a high level of collective compliance, minimal indications of organized economic resistance, and a relatively stable reorganization of market relations. These findings suggest that gradual tashrīʻ served as an instrument of socio-economic change, facilitating the acceptance of new norms while supporting market stability in Medinan society during the early Islamic period.

Konsep Ṭayyib dalam Al-Qur’an: Perspektif Tafsir Ilmi terhadap Keamanan Pangan, Nilai Gizi, dan Kesehatan Preventif
The increasing challenges of food safety due to biological and chemical contamination, the decline in the nutritional quality of modern consumer products, and the high prevalence of diet-related non-communicable diseases indicate the need to strengthen the food paradigm that is oriented not only to legal aspects but also to health. In this context, studies on food in Islam are still dominated by discussions of halal. At the same time, the dimension of ṭayyib has not received adequate attention as a concept related to consumption quality and health protection. This study aims to analyze the concept of ṭayyib in the Qur’an through the perspective of scientific interpretation and examine its relevance to food safety, nutritional value, and preventive health. The method used is a qualitative research study based on a literature review, with a mawḍūʻī interpretation approach to verses containing the term ṭayyib, supported by analysis of classical, modern, and contemporary interpretation literature and by dialogue with findings from food, nutrition, and health sciences. The study results show that the concept of ṭayyib encompasses a range of meanings that extend beyond formal halal certification, emphasizing safety from harmful elements, adequate and balanced nutritional content, food quality, and an orientation toward preventing health risks. This concept forms a consumption paradigm that prioritizes human biological well-being by selecting foods that are safe, nutritious, and support the maintenance of bodily functions. The analysis also demonstrates substantial alignment between the concept of ṭayyib and modern scientific principles regarding food safety, nutritional adequacy, and preventive medicine. These findings confirm that the concept of ṭayyib can be positioned as a normative and scientific framework that bridges Qur’anic studies with contemporary health sciences.

Perempuan sebagai Subjek Penafsir: Epistemologi Tafsir Feminis dalam Studi Al-Qur’an
The centuries-long dominance of the tradition of Qur’anic interpretation, largely shaped by male experience, perspective, and scholarly authority, has given rise to debates regarding the representation of women in the production of exegetical knowledge and the legitimacy of women’s experiences as sources of religious meaning. This study aims to analyze women as interpretive subjects in feminist exegetical epistemology, explain the epistemological foundations that support this position, and identify the transformations it has brought about in contemporary Qur’anic studies. The method used is a qualitative approach grounded in literature review, combining the perspectives of exegetical epistemology and critical hermeneutics. Data were obtained from feminist exegetical literature and contemporary Qur’anic studies, then analyzed through content analysis and discourse analysis. The results of the study indicate that feminist exegetical epistemology critiques the construction of interpretive authority that tends to be masculine and reveals historical mechanisms that place women’s experiences outside the center of knowledge production. Through the reconstruction of sources, subjects, and interpretative processes, women’s experiences are affirmed as sources of knowledge that have equal epistemic legitimacy in understanding the Qur’anic text. This position affirms women as active epistemic subjects in the formation of meaning, broadens the horizon of interpretation, reexamines power relations within scientific authority, and encourages a more dialogical shift in the paradigm between text, interpreter, social context, and knowledge production. These findings affirm the contribution of feminist exegetical epistemology to the development of a more inclusive, reflective, and open methodology for Qur’anic studies, without neglecting academic principles and the scientific rules of exegesis.

Disinformasi Digital dalam Perspektif Al-Qur’an: Tafsir Tematik atas Ayat-Ayat Tabayyun di Era Algoritma
The rise of digital disinformation in algorithm-based communication ecosystems has changed the mechanisms of information production, distribution, and consumption, thereby increasing the opportunity for the spread of misleading information through the logic of virality, content personalization, and the reinforcement of cognitive biases. This condition places the concept of tabayyun in the Qur’an as a relevant epistemological framework for examining the contemporary information crisis. This study aims to analyze the concept of tabayyun in the Qur’an, trace the genealogy of misleading information from a Qur’anic perspective, identify the Qur’anic epistemological critique of the logic of algorithms and the culture of virality in the Qur’an, and explain the relevance of the verses of tabayyun in understanding the dynamics of digital disinformation. This research is a qualitative, literature-based study with a thematic interpretation (mawḍūʻī) approach to verses on tabayyun, information, lies, prejudice, and news dissemination. The results of the study indicate that the Qur’an establishes an information verification system that places source checking, fact validation, evaluation of informant credibility, and control of prejudice as prerequisites for the formation of valid knowledge. The Quran also identifies factors contributing to the emergence of misleading information, such as haste in accepting news, the dominance of prejudice, information manipulation, and the reproduction of news without adequate verification. The Quran’s critique of accepting information without evidence closely aligns with the algorithmic problem of amplifying content without regard for its validity. Thus, tabayyun is a fundamental epistemological principle that remains relevant as an analytical tool for addressing the information crisis and disinformation in the algorithmic era.

Fragmentasi Otoritas Religius di Ruang Digital: Studi Sosiologi Pendidikan Islam terhadap Praktik Pembelajaran Berbasis Media Sosial
The transformation of social media as a space for religious learning has changed the patterns of production, distribution, and legitimacy of Islamic knowledge. However, studies of the sociology of Islamic education still tend to view religious authority through an institutional framework that is inadequate to explain the increasingly decentralized dynamics of digital life. This study aims to analyze the transformation of religious authority in social media-based Islamic learning practices by focusing on legitimation mechanisms, changes in pedagogical relations, and the contestation of religious discourses formed within the digital ecosystem. The study uses a qualitative approach within a critical-sociological paradigm, drawing on library research, discourse analysis, and critical reviews of literature, academic studies, and narratives of religious learning that develop on social media. The results show that religious authority has shifted from the dominance of scientific credentials and institutional affiliations to one increasingly determined by algorithmic visibility, digital popularity, the intensity of interaction, and the performative ability of religious actors to attract audience attention. These changes have led to the emergence of a fluid, competitive, and multidirectional authority, thereby blurring the boundaries between formal and informal authority. At the same time, the production of Islamic knowledge is moving toward faster, more concise, and more easily consumed formats. Still, it is vulnerable to methodological simplification, fragmentation of understanding, and decontextualization of religious sources. Pedagogical relations are also shifting from a vertical transmission model to a participatory pattern that expands access to learning while weakening mechanisms for scientific verification. These findings suggest that religious authority in the digital space should be understood as a relational construct shaped by interactions among actors, technology, and audiences. Thus, a reconstruction of the sociological framework of Islamic education is necessary to respond to the changing ecology of contemporary religious learning.

Rekonstruksi Otoritas Keilmuan dalam Pendidikan Islam di Era Kecerdasan Buatan: Analisis Sosiologis atas Pergeseran Relasi Guru dan Pengetahuan
The transformation of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has changed patterns of access, production, and distribution of knowledge, including in Islamic education. The increasing dependence of students on AI systems as a source of religious information raises questions about epistemic legitimacy, shifts in scientific authority, and the relevance of knowledge transmission models that have traditionally relied on teacher-student relationships. Although studies on the digitalization of Islamic education continue to develop, analysis of the reconstruction of scientific authority in the context of the interaction between normative and algorithmic authority remains relatively limited. This study aims to analyze the shifting relationship between teachers and knowledge and to formulate a model for reconstructing scientific authority in Islamic education in the AI era. The study uses a qualitative approach, grounded in a literature review and employing critical content analysis, to examine the sociology of education, scientific authority, Islamic epistemology, and the development of AI. The results show that AI encourages the deconstruction of scientific authority from a centralized model to a distributed epistemic network, enabling more open, cross-authority access to knowledge. In this context, teachers no longer function as the sole source of knowledge but have transformed into epistemic mediators, information curators, truth validators, and digital literacy facilitators. Research also finds that the legitimacy of knowledge has shifted from the dominance of sanad (traditional chain of transmission) and personal authority to a hybrid mechanism that combines scientific credibility, digital verification, information accuracy, and algorithmic transparency. These findings produce a hybrid-collaborative model of scientific authority that emphasizes that contemporary Islamic educational authority is constructed through negotiations between scientific competence, epistemic ethics, and digital curation capacity, thus enriching the study of the sociology of Islamic education in the face of technological disruption.

Pandangan Wahbah Al-Zuḥaylī terhadap Musik dalam Surah Luqman Ayat 6: Analisis al-Tafsīr al-Munīr fī al-ʻAqīdah wa asy-Syarīʻah wa al-Manhaj
The debate regarding the meaning of lahw al-Ḥadīth in Surah Luqman verse 6 continues to be a crucial point in the discourse on music law in Islam, especially due to the differences in classical and contemporary interpretations involving linguistic, normative, and sociocultural dimensions. This paper aims to analytically examine the construction of the meaning of lahw al-Ḥadīth, the normative position of music, and the methodological character of Wahbah al-Zuḥaylī’s interpretation in al-Tafsīr al-Munīr fī al-ʻAqīdah wa ash-Sharīʻah wa al-Manhaj. The approach used is a qualitative one based on a literature study with content analysis methods and a thematic interpretation approach to trace the argumentation patterns and epistemological framework used. The results show that al-Zuḥaylī does not simplistically identify lahw al-Ḥadīth as music, but rather understands it as any form of speech or practice that leads astray from the path of truth, including but not limited to singing containing negative elements. Within his normative framework, music is not positioned as an inherently forbidden entity, but rather depends on its content, purpose, and impact on individual and societal morality. Methodologically, al-Zuḥaylī’s interpretation demonstrates a systematic integration between the bi al-Maʻthūr and bi al-Raʻyi tafsir approaches with a moderate fiqh orientation, resulting in a contextual and proportionate legal formulation. The theoretical implication lies in strengthening the integrative tafsir paradigm that can bridge normative texts with contemporary realities in Islamic legal studies.

Penafsiran Surah Al-Raḥmān Ayat 1–4 dan Implementasinya dalam Nilai-Nilai Pendidikan Islam di Yayasan Duta Inspirasi Al-Quran Deli Serdang
The integration of the interpretation of Surah al-Raḥmān verses 1–4 into Islamic educational practices is crucial in building a value-oriented epistemological foundation, but there is still a gap between normative textual interpretation and pedagogical implementation in educational institutions. This study aims to analyze the construction of verse interpretation, identify the interpretation of educational values ​​by institutional actors, and explore their implementation in educational practices at the Al-Quran Inspiration Ambassador Foundation in Deli Serdang. A qualitative approach is used through interpretation studies and case studies with data collection techniques in the form of in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, which are then analyzed thematically and comparatively between the views of classical and contemporary exegetes and institutional practices. The results show that the interpretation construction emphasizes the dimension of mercy as the basis of educational relations, taʻlīm as a systematic process of knowledge transmission, and bayān as the ability to articulate and critical literacy. The interpretation by teachers and administrators shows the internalization of values ​​contextually through an integrative curriculum, dialogic learning strategies, and the habituation of communicative ethics. The implementation of these values ​​is manifested in a compassion-based learning design, strengthening Quranic literacy competencies, and developing students’ expressive abilities, despite challenges such as limited pedagogical resources, variability in educators’ understanding, and inconsistent evaluations. The implications of this study include strengthening interpretation as the epistemological basis of Islamic education and formulating an adaptive and contextual implementation model of Quranic values ​​in educational institutions.

Analisis Normatif Surah al-Isrā’ Ayat 32 terhadap Perilaku Seksual Pranikah Remaja: Studi Kasus di Desa Siunggam, Kabupaten Padang Lawas Utara
The increasing phenomenon of premarital sexual behavior among adolescents in rural areas indicates a shift in previously relatively strong patterns of social relations and normative control, including in Siunggam Village, North Padang Lawas Regency. This has given rise to tension between social practices and Quranic norms, particularly the content of Surah al-Isra’ verse 32, which prohibits approaching adultery. This study aims to analyze the normative construction of this verse and examine its relevance to the reality of adolescent premarital sexual behavior in a rural social context. The approach used is normative-empirical, with a qualitative research design; normative data are obtained through analysis of classical and contemporary interpretations, while empirical data are collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation, and then analyzed using thematic and interpretative-contextual analysis techniques. The results of the study indicate that the phrase prohibiting “approaching adultery” contains a preventive construction that is gradual and protective, encompassing restrictions on all socio-psychological prerequisites that could potentially lead to sexual relations outside of marriage. At the practical level, it was found that digital interaction, weak family supervision, and the normalization of promiscuity are dominant factors that reduce the binding power of religious norms. The level of congruence between textual norms and social practices ranges from low to moderate, characterized by the symbolic internalization of norms, with inconsistent enactment in behavior. Conceptually, this study contributes to strengthening the normative-contextual interpretation model that integrates textual analysis and social dynamics as a basis for developing Islamic social studies.

Relasi Keluarga dalam Surah Ṭāhā ayat 29–32: Analisis Komparatif Tafsīr al-Ṭabarī dan Tafsīr al-Munīr
The study of family relations in the Quran has conceptual significance because the family verses not only represent personal relationships, but also contain constructions of authority, social ethics, and cooperation patterns that impact the formation of social order. Surah Ṭāhā verses 29–32, which record the Prophet Moses’ request regarding Aaron’s role as a companion and strengthener of the mission, becomes an important locus for reading the differences in classical and contemporary interpretive approaches in interpreting family relations. The purpose of this study is to comparatively analyze the construction of family relations, the distribution of authority, and the dimensions of social ethics in Tafsīr al-Ṭabarī and Tafsīr al-Munīr to identify the shift in interpretive paradigms. The method used is a qualitative study based on a literature study with a comparative analysis approach of interpretations, using Tafsīr al-Ṭabarī as a representation of classical interpretation based on riwāyah and Tafsīr al-Munīr as a representation of contemporary interpretation that is integrative and contextual. The analysis shows that Tafsīr al-Ṭabarī constructs family relations within the framework of the legitimacy of prophetic authority and functional-instrumental kinship, with an emphasis on the sanad of narration and initial consensus as determinants of meaning. In contrast, Tafsīr al-Munīr constructs family relations as a model of ethical collaboration that emphasizes competence, communication, and social responsibility, so that the relationship between Musa and Harun is understood as a prototype of participatory leadership relevant to the modern social context. This difference reflects the epistemological transformation from normative-historical interpretation to normative-contextual interpretation, while also confirming the contribution of this study to the development of Quranic exegesis studies in reading family verses dynamically and in layers.

Rekonstruksi Makna Amal Berkelanjutan dalam Surah Al-Insyirah Ayat 7: Studi Tafsir Al-Mishbah dan Tafsir Al-Azhar
The phenomenon of the interpretation of Surah al-Inshirah verse 7 has tended to stop at a normative reading that emphasizes the transition from one activity to another without a deeper conceptual exploration of the sustainability of charity in human life. This tendency has implications for an understanding of charity that is temporary, fragmentary, and less integrated with social dynamics and the ethos of sustainability. This paper aims to reconstruct the meaning of sustainable charity in Surah al-Inshirah verse 7 through a study of Nusantara interpretations by examining M. Quraish Shihab’s Tafsir Al-Mishbah and Hamka’s Tafsir Al-Azhar. The approach used is a qualitative one based on literature studies by making both interpretations as the main data sources, while the analysis technique is carried out comparatively critically to identify similarities, differences, and the direction of meaning developed by each interpreter. The results of the study indicate a shift in the meaning of charity from merely a momentary activity of worship or work to the principle of dynamic, progressive, and continuous charity, where each achievement is not understood as an endpoint, but rather as a momentum to give birth to the next, more meaningful charity. The interpretation of al-Mishbah emphasizes the psychological and ethical dimensions of the sustainability of charity, while the interpretation of Al-Azhar emphasizes its correlation with social responsibility and productive work. This reconstruction shows that Surah al-Inshirah verse 7 contains a paradigm of sustainable charity that is relevant to the modern context. Theoretically, this finding enriches the development of the study of Al-Quranic interpretation by strengthening the conceptual framework of sustainable charity as the basis for adaptive and contextual practical ethics.

Takhrīj al-Ḥadīṡ Berbasis Isu: Model Metodologis untuk Membaca Hadis dalam Wacana Keadilan dan Hak Asasi
Contemporary hadith studies often face methodological challenges in connecting classical hadith texts to modern humanitarian issues, particularly in the discourse of social justice and human rights, without neglecting the scientific rigor of hadith. The classical takhrīj al-Ḥadīṡ approach, which focuses on verifying the sanad and matan, is often considered to not fully address the need for contextual reading of contemporary social dynamics. However, to date, there are still limited methodological models that systematically integrate takhrīj rigor with issue-based analysis. Therefore, this article aims to formulate and test the issue-based takhrīj al-Ḥadīṡ model as an alternative methodological framework in contemporary hadith studies. This study uses a qualitative approach with library research methods. Data were analyzed descriptively and analytically through the stages of issue identification, thematic classification of hadith, sanad and matan analysis, and applied synthesis. The results show that the issue-based takhrīj model is able to systematically map hadith based on specific social problems while maintaining the validity of transmission and consistency of the text’s meaning. The implementation of this model on hadiths about collective responsibility in preventing injustice and the principle of universal compassion demonstrates the relevance of Islamic values in building awareness of social justice and protecting human dignity. In conclusion, the issue-based takhrīj al-Ḥadīṡ model is effective as a methodological approach that bridges the tradition of classical hadith criticism with the need for contextual and applicable hadith readings in addressing contemporary humanitarian challenges.

Takhrīj al-Hadīṡ Digital: Metode Ekstraksi Sanad-Matan dari Naskah Klasik Berbasis Corpus Terstruktur
The development of digital hadith studies demands methodological updates in the practice of takhrīj al-Ḥadīṡ, especially when dealing with a large-scale, multi-layered, and editorially heterogeneous corpus of classical hadith texts. Conventional takhrīj approaches that rely on manual book searches and thematic indexes show limitations in efficiency, consistency, and the ability to systematically manage the complexity of sanad and matan variations. This study aims to develop and test a digital takhrīj al-Ḥadīṡ method through structured corpus-based sanad–matan extraction compiled from classical hadith manuscripts. The research method uses a qualitative-analytical approach with the integration of digital text processing on a curated hadith corpus, including the stages of text normalization, sanad–matn segmentation, mapping of narrator relationships, and verification of transmission patterns based on the rules of hadith science. The results show that the developed method can reconstruct the sanad–matn structure more explicitly and consistently, identify the boundaries of sanad and matan with a high degree of accuracy, and trace variations in editorial and transmission paths comparatively across sources. Digital extraction demonstrates its effectiveness in accelerating the takhrīj process, reducing data redundancy, and improving the traceability of sanads without violating the basic principles of hadith criticism. The level of conformity of digital methods with the principles of hadith science is reflected in its ability to maintain the hierarchy of narrators, continuity of transmission, and differentiation of matan redactions. Implicatively, this study confirms the methodological contribution of digital takhrīj al-Ḥadīṡ as a complementary approach that broadens the horizon of contemporary hadith analysis, strengthens research accuracy, and opens up opportunities for the integration of hadith science with digital corpus studies more systematically and sustainably.

Takhrīj al-Ḥadīs Digital: Tantangan Epistemologis Penggunaan Basis Data Hadis dalam Verifikasi Riwayat
The development of information technology has driven a significant shift in the practice of hadith retrieval, from manual searches based on classical texts to the use of digital hadith databases that offer speed, accessibility, and ease of search. This shift, while providing methodological efficiency, raises complex epistemological issues, particularly regarding the validity of knowledge, scholarly authority, and the relationship between classical hadith methods and computational logic. This study aims to critically analyze the use of digital hadith databases in the process of narration verification, highlighting the accompanying epistemological implications. The study uses a qualitative-analytical method through an epistemological approach, supported by a review of classical and contemporary literature, as well as a critical analysis of a number of digital hadith platforms widely used in hadith studies. The results of the study indicate a shift in scientific authority from the individual competence of muḥaddith to technological authority that relies on data structures and algorithm design, the limitations of search algorithms in representing the complexity of sanad and matn, the fragmentation of the scientific context of hadith due to the separation of narration from its historical and methodological framework, and the fundamental tension between the evaluative-qualitative epistemology of ʻulūm al-Ḥadīs and the quantitative and reductionist digital logic. These findings confirm that digital hadith databases cannot yet replace the critical function of classical methodology, but rather act as supporting instruments that require a strict epistemological framework. Academically, this study has implications for the need to develop an integrative takhrīj model that synergizes traditional scientific authority with digital technology critically and reflectively in the digital era.
