Ahsani Taqwim and Asfala Safilin: A Biological and Moral Perspective of Humanity in Q.S. At-Tin [95]: 4–5

Muhamad Rulyawan Sihab — 2026-05-31

This study aims to analyze the concepts of ahsani taqwīm and asfala sāfilīn in Surah At-Tin verses 4–5 and their relevance to human behavior from biological and moral perspectives in the modern era. This research employs a qualitative method with a library research approach, using an interdisciplinary framework that integrates Qur’anic exegesis with biological and moral studies. The primary data sources consist of Qur’anic verses and classical and contemporary tafsir works, supported by scientific literature related to human biology and moral behavior. The findings indicate that the concept of ahsani taqwīm represents the perfection of human creation, encompassing physical, intellectual, and spiritual dimensions. Meanwhile, asfala sāfilīn reflects the potential for human degradation, both biologically and morally, when individuals fail to manage these potentials in a balanced manner. From a biological perspective, humans possess complex bodily systems and mechanisms that support social and moral behavior. However, biological factors such as hormones and instincts may also drive negative behavior if not properly controlled. In the moral context, humans have the freedom to choose between good and evil. The relevance of these two concepts in the modern era is evident in technological advancements as a manifestation of ahsani taqwīm, alongside the emergence of moral crises as a form of asfala sāfilīn. Therefore, maintaining a balance between biological, intellectual, and spiritual aspects is essential for humans to preserve their noble status in accordance with the purpose of their creation.

Rudi Wibowo — 2026-05-31

This research is motivated by the importance of organizational commitment in improving organizational performance and sustainability, especially in religious-based organizations such as mosques, where employees are still found to have less than optimal commitment due to a lack of work motivation and organizational culture support. This study aims to analyze the influence of work motivation and organizational culture on organizational commitment among employees of the Namira Mosque in Lamongan. The research method used is a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis techniques. The population in this study were all 45 employees of the Namira Mosque in Lamongan with a sampling technique using total sampling. Data collection was carried out through questionnaires that had been tested for validity and reliability. The results of the study indicate that work motivation and organizational culture have a positive and significant effect on organizational commitment, both partially and simultaneously. The R Square value is 0.961 or 96.1%. Organizational culture has a more dominant influence than work motivation. The coefficient of determination value shows that both variables are able to explain most of the variation in organizational commitment. The conclusion of this study confirms that increasing work motivation and implementing a positive organizational culture consistently can strengthen employee commitment to the organization.

Reconstructing the Meanings of Sakinah, Mawaddah, and Rahmah in the Qur'anic Verse on Marriage: A Semantic and Hermeneutical Analysis of Qur'anic Language

arif satria budi — 2026-05-31

The concepts of sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah constitute the normative foundation of family life in the Qur'an. However, existing studies have largely examined these concepts from normative perspectives, leaving their semantic interrelationship within the Qur'anic conceptual system insufficiently explored. This study aims to reconstruct the meanings of sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah in the Qur'anic verses on marriage by integrating Toshihiko Izutsu's semantic approach with hermeneutic interpretation. This research employs a qualitative library research design. Primary data were obtained from the Qur'an, particularly Q.S. Al-Rūm [30]: 21 and other verses containing the lexical roots s-k-n, w-d-d, and r-ḥ-m, while secondary data were drawn from Qur'anic exegeses, Arabic lexicons, Toshihiko Izutsu's works, and relevant scholarly publications. Data were analyzed by identifying the basic meaning, relational meaning, and semantic field of each concept, followed by hermeneutic interpretation. The findings reveal that sakinah represents the ultimate goal of family life, characterized by spiritual, psychological, and social tranquility; mawaddah functions as an affective force expressed through commitment and responsibility; and rahmah serves as the ethical foundation that sustains marital relationships through compassion and mutual care. These three concepts form an integrated semantic system within the Qur'anic worldview, portraying marriage as an institution founded upon tranquility, enduring love, and compassion. This study contributes to the development of Qur'anic semantic studies by integrating Izutsu's semantic theory with hermeneutic interpretation and provides a conceptual framework for strengthening premarital education, family development, and Muslim family resilience.

Ali Musolli Sohibi Harahap — 2026-05-31

Studying ‘Ulum al-Qur’an involves various challenges, such as understanding concepts, terminology, language, historical context, and the interrelationship among disciplines, thus requiring appropriate learning strategies. Although Manahil al-‘Irfan by Az-Zarqani has become one of the primary references in the study of ‘Ulum al-Qur’an, studies that reveal the learning strategies embedded in its systematic organization remain limited. This study aims to examine the methods and strategies for studying ‘Ulum al-Qur’an according to Az-Zarqani. This research employs a qualitative method based on library research, using descriptive analysis and content analysis. The findings reveal that there are two strategies for studying ‘Ulum al-Qur’an. First, the Mastery Learning Strategy, which is presented in Chapter 1: (معنى علوم القرآن); Chapter 2: (تاريخ علوم القرآن); Chapters 3–7: (النزول، أول ما نزل، أسباب النزول، الأحرف السبعة، المكي والمدني); Chapters 8–11: (جمع القرآن، ترتيب، رسم، قراءات); and Chapters 12–17: (التفسير، الترجمة، النسخ، المحكم والمتشابه، الأسلوب، الإعجاز). Second, the Expository Learning Strategy, which is reflected in Chapters 1–7: معنى علوم القرآن، تاريخ علوم القرآن، أسباب النزول، المكي والمدني; Chapters 8–11: جمع القرآن، ترتيب/رسم، قراءات; Chapter 12: في التفسير والمفسرون وما يتعلق بهما; and Chapters 13–17: الترجمة، النسخ، المحكم والمتشابه، الأسلوب، الإعجاز.

A Comparative Study of Moderation and Wasathiyah in the Perspective of Islamic Education

Ali Muddin Jailani — 2026-05-31

Some scholars tend to equate the concept of moderation with wasathiyah, although the two differ in terms of definition, conceptual background, and implementation. This study employs a literature review approach using content analysis, applied flexibly through conceptual construction analysis. The findings indicate that moderation and wasathiyah share several commonalities, yet also reveal fundamental differences in terms of their definitions, epistemological foundations, and underlying values. The concept of religious moderation has developed within the context of modern thought that emphasizes universal values as its primary foundation, whereas the concept of wasathiyah is rooted in Islamic teachings derived from revelation and possesses a universal orientation in its application. In the context of Islamic education, the concept of wasathiyah education is viewed as having closer relevance to the framework of Islamic educational values compared to the term religious moderation. Wasathiyah education implies the formation of students’ understanding, attitudes, and behavior grounded in revelatory values.

Muliya Agustinawati — 2026-05-31

This research is motivated by differences of opinion about the process of the formation of the universe, scientists and commentators have different opinions about the meaning of the union of heaven and earth, and the process of separation between the two and by what they are separated. This research aims to reconstruct the initial stages of the formation of the universe according to the scientific interpretation (tafsir ilmi) of Zaghlul Al-Najjar on the verse of QS. Al-Anbiya' verse 30. This research uses a qualitative method, because it aims to understand or study Zaglul Al-Najjar's interpretation of the origin of the universe with a library research approach. The interpretation method used is the tahlili interpretation method, because this research studies the interpretation of QS. Al-Anbiya' verse 30 in detail based on Zaghlul Al-Najjar's thoughts with a scientific approach, namely an approach that studies kauniyah verses through the lens of modern science. Furthermore, the data analysis technique used in this ariticle is descriptive-analytical, namely by describing, elaborating, and analyzing the interpretation of relevant Quranic verses, then linking them to modern scientific findings. The results of the study indicate that Zaghlul Al-Najjar reconstructs the formation of the universe into two main stages: The first stage of the universe's creation began with a primary mass (something unified and integrated) which in Arabic is called "ratq." The second stage, the separation or destruction of this primary mass by Allah's command, is called "fatq".

PENDIDIKAN ISLAM SUFISTIK

Ahmad Mudaharahap — 2026-05-31

Islamic education is currently facing a multidimensional crisis. In the face of this crisis, Islamic education has experienced a severe decline and dehumanization. As a result, the values of Islamic teachings have been stripped of their spiritual and divine essence. This study aims to reconstruct Sufi values within Islamic education (Sufi-based education) grounded in the Quran, Hadith, and the ijtihad of scholars, all rooted in divine values and spirituality. This study employs a literature review (library research) method, relying on documents as the primary data sources. The data analysis technique used in this study is content analysis, employing Sara Mills’ critical discourse framework. The results indicate that Islamic education, in the face of a multidimensional crisis, urgently requires an education grounded in Sufi values, which includes: Education must have a strong foundation rooted in spirituality based on divine values so that students may discover their innate Hanif nature. Sufi Islamic education aims to shape well-rounded individuals with praiseworthy character. To achieve this goal, Sufi Islamic education provides curriculum based on mental, spiritual, and mystical development. Sufi Islamic education also incorporates methods such as takholli, tahalli, and tajalli; these three methods require practice and habituation.

nuryanti siregar — 2026-05-31

The learning process often makes students bored and tired, so it is important to have a learning approach that increases student learning motivation. This is especially true in fiqh learning that leads students to memorize a lot of learning material. The Hypnoteaching method is a learning approach that is considered effective in increasing student learning motivation. This learning approach emphasizes fun and interactive learning. This study aims to determine the effect of the hypnoteaching method on the motivation to learn fiqh in Islamic boarding school students. This study used an experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest research design. The results of this study indicate that there is a significant effect of the use of the hypnoteaching method on the motivation to learn fiqh in Islamic boarding school students. This is evidenced by the results of the two-sample dependent t-test (paired-samples t-test), namely sig. 0.000 > 0.05. This indicates that the hypnoteaching method can increase the motivation to learn fiqh in Islamic boarding school students.

Evaluating the Impact of the Free Nutritious Meal Program on Elementary School Students' Pocket Money Allocation

Irma Nur Af'idah — 2026-05-31

The Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) Program is a government initiative aimed at improving students’ nutritional intake as well as supporting children’s health quality and learning processes at school. This study aims to evaluatethe impact perceived by parents regarding the implementation of MBG Program at the elementary school level. The research employed an outcome evaluation model to assess the results achieved after the program was conducted. . The sampling technique used was random sampling, targeting parents whose children attend elementary school. The instrument validity was ensured through content validity using Aiken’s V index, and construct validity was examined using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). The reliability of the instrument was tested using Cronbach’s Alpha, and the data analysis technique applied was the Spearman Rho correlation test, as the data were not normally distributed. The findings revealed that 71.4% of parents continue to give pocket money to their children, indicating that the program has not significantly reduced pocket money expenditures. However, 86% of parents expressed a positive perception of the MBG program, acknowledging its role in enhancing their children’s motivation to learn and providing nutritious meals. In contrast, in-depth interviews showed that the program’s distribution remains uneven, with several districts in Pati Regency—such as Tayu, Margoyoso, Pati, and Gabus—reporting that the program has not yet been implemented in their schools
