Pendekatan Kinayah dalam Komunikasi Rasulullah SAW

2023-10-11T08:45:26+08:00

al-Kināyah is a form of metaphorical language. Through it, the speaker can effectively communicate his or her meaning to ensure the listener's understanding of the intended idea. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used this approach to convey an idea. This study aims to examine the contexts in which al-Kināyah was used by the Prophet (PBUH) with the application of Hymes’s SPEAKING model. The data come from four selected hadiths from the books of the Arabic amthāl collection. Findings demonstrate that the Prophet (PBUH) employed al-Kināyah in various contexts for a variety of reasons. He was found to use it in the context of giving orders to a cameleer, imparting religious teachings to his companions, and making bequests in the presence of community elders. These special expressions help to express a broader meaning and prevent the speaker from making use of otherwise unpleasant expressions. The implications of this study underscore the importance of mastering the elements of implicit language in understanding the true meaning of his words for those who venture into the study of the hadiths of the Prophet (PBUH).

Martabat Pendekatan Tafsir Mawḍū‘ī dalam Penulisan Tafsir di Era Globalisasi

2023-11-03T02:58:30+08:00

Al-Tafsīr al-mawḍū‘ī also referred to as thematic tafsīr was introduced by tafsīr experts in the early 1970s. Following that, this interpretation method evolved through many ways pioneered by al-mawḍū‘ī interpretation luminaries such as al-Farmāwī, al-Kūmmī, ‘Abd al-Sattār, Muṣṭafā Muslim, al-Khālidī, Ziauddin Sardar, and others. Although the technique given by these tafsīr figures intends to generate systematic al-mawḍū‘ī tafsīr literature, these approaches can also be applied to address difficulties in the globalization period. Therefore, this study took the initiative to describe the al-mawḍū‘ī interpretation approach of tafsīr scholars and further discuss these approaches in facing the era of globalization. This study collects data from document sources and analyzes them using the content analysis method. According to the findings of the study, al-mawḍū‘ī tafsīr experts apply basic procedures in al-mawḍū‘ī tafsīr by establishing themes, collecting verses, determining the relationship between verses and themes, and summarizing verses and themes. Meanwhile, the al-mawḍū‘ī interpretation approach can be enabled to address social challenges involving issues of faith, social development, and environmental sustainability in the age of globalization. This study has a great impact on the implementation of establishing a more sustainable community and strengthening civil society’s ambitions.

"سيّد قطب ومنهجه في التعامل مع الآيات المتعلقة بالسيرة النبوية: دراسة تحليلية في تفسيره "في ظلال القرآن

Knowing the method of a particular scholar in any book is important to understand his approach to dealing with any issue and to make his way to becoming the subject of attention and emulation by later researchers. This research discovers the methodology of Sayyid Quṭb, the dynamic preacher and leading exegete, regarding his dealing with the verses related to prophetic history through Fī Ẓilāl al-Qur’ān. This research deals with three aspects: interpreting the verses related to prophetic history, presenting the events, and extracting the highlights and lessons from the events. The researchers employed the descriptive method to explain the definition of Prophetic history and Sayyid Quṭb’s biography and the analytical method to extract Sayyid Quṭb’s methodology in his exegesis in dealing with verses related to Prophetic history. The study primarily showed that Sayyid Quṭb combined exegesis based on traditions (al-tafsīr bi al-ma’thūr) and opinions (al-tafsīr bi al-ra’y) in explaining the verses related to prophetic history. Sayyid Quṭb has two ways of presenting the events: detailed and overall views. Sayyid Quṭb’s presentation has three objectives: referring to the events as the reasons for the revelation of the verses, inferring events in the interpretation of the verses, and depicting the atmosphere in which the verses were revealed and reviving them. The most important Sayyid Quṭb’s trends in extracting highlights and lessons are employing Prophetic history for his dynamic methodology, clarifying the lessons in the Islamic faith, addressing facts and perceptions about Islam, and contextualizing Prophetic history’s highlights and lessons into current situations.

Thematic exegesis is an interpretive approach to interpreting the Quran thematically by collecting relevant Quranic verses related to the studied theme. This interpretive approach has gained recognition among Quranic scholars due to its methodological dimensions and unique advantages in delving into the contents of the Quran. Moreover, thematic exegesis represents a contemporary interpretative method that can elevate the Quran as a reference for today's modern society. However, extensive research is lacking in compiling and providing a literature review regarding thematic exegesis studies. This article aims to highlight and present a literature review of past studies related to thematic exegesis in Malaysia. The article's sources were obtained from the WoS, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases covering 2019 to 2023. The gathered data was filtered based on publication year, material type (articles), and specific studies within Malaysia. The study's findings highlighted four themes of thematic exegesis research in Malaysia: the definition of thematic exegesis, its history and development, types and methods, and the implementation of these methods in Quranic studies.

Isu dan cabaran dalam pengurusan program bantuan modal zakat untuk usahawan asnaf

2023-10-02T03:37:30+08:00

Zakat Capital Assistance Program (ZCAP) is a method employed to allocate zakat funds with the aim of enhancing the quality of life of the recipients. It entails providing financial aid without requiring the recipients to repay the funds. Despite the considerable advantages offered by this program, the number of applications for zakat assistance in the capital assistance category is comparatively lower than those for cash assistance. Consequently, the purpose of this research is to investigate the factors and challenges associated with the ZCAP from the perspective of both zakat officers and recipients. This study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing a structured interview tool to engage with the participants. Through interviews conducted with zakat officials and selected recipients, it was determined that attitudes, knowledge regarding financial records, and the structure of the ZCAP itself are among the influential factors that determine the success or failure of the program. The research findings indicate that the ZCAP has the potential to assist the asnaf, although there is room for improvement in order to achieve a more profound impact through this initiative. This study aims to provide valuable insights for the enhancement of the ZCAP implementation, ultimately fostering the emergence of successful Muslim entrepreneurs.

The Relevance of al-Kay’s Treatment According to the Perspective of Prophetic Hadith

2023-09-07T02:46:09+08:00

This article aims to analyze the healing method with al-kay, which refers to the hadith perspective in two different contexts: prohibition and conditional permission. By applying a qualitative research method, this article finds that one popular al-kay product today is laser-based circumcision. This circumcision is one of the modern ways in which the skin of the foreskin is cut using a unique cutting tool, i.e., a cautery or diathermy, which replaces knives and scissors to cut the skin. The device’s tip is heated up to 1000 degrees Celsius with electrical power, and cuts are made by burning the skin while closing the blood vessels. While from the point of view of Muslim scholars, the treatment of al-kay is a must if in an emergency, and there is no other option provided a specialist doctor recommends it. The status of this law changes to ḥarām (prohibited) when the patient is convinced that with the hot iron, there is a healing sacred as the sacredness of spells (superstition). This is what the Prophet (PBUH) meant that did not like it and called it contrary to tawakkul (trust in God).

This research explores Islamic themes in early and contemporary Islamic literature, with a focus on the works of poet Yūsuf al-‘Aẓm. It examines his anthologies Anāshid wa Aghārid li al-Jayl al-Muslim, ‘Arā’is al-Ḍiyā’, Fī Riḥāb al-Aqṣā, and Qanādil fī ‘Itmat al-Ḍuḥā, alongside ten specific texts: al-Wuḍū‘, al-Zakāt, Ummī?, Allāhu Rabbī, al-Ka‘bah, Nashīd li al-Mujāhidīn fī Afghānistān, Anā li al-Quds, Hamāt al-Aqṣā, Yā Quds, and Huwiyyatu al-Aqṣā li man Aḍā‘a Huwiyyatuhu. Using an analytical descriptive methodology, the study delves into al-‘Aẓm's treatment of Islamic content, extending beyond ritualistic themes (‘ibādah) to encompass doctrinal aspects (‘aqīdah) and broader Islamic community issues, including the Palestinian cause. The study underscores al-‘Aẓm's commitment to Islamic perspectives in his literary creations, highlighting his diverse thematic engagements within Islamic literature.

Badī‘ al-Zamān Sa‘īd Nursī’s approach through writing in da‘wah: A study of effective verbal communication

2023-06-12T09:24:56+08:00

Effective da‘wah communication is veritably necessary in maintaining the well-being of the community so that it's always in a state of peace, tranquility, and harmony. The traditional medium of preaching, which previously only revolved around oral mediums such as lectures and speeches, needs to be improved with the method of delivery through writing. Badī‘ al-Zamān Sa‘īd Nursī used the pen as the medium of his preaching, resulting in the work Rasā’il al-Nūr, which spread throughout the world. Therefore, this study focuses on the study of Sa‘īd Nursī's form of communication while spreading and delivering da‘wah through jotting styles (bi al- kitābah), such as his masterpiece Rasā’il al-Nūr, letters, and newspapers. This study is a library study, and the analysis is based on the document analysis framework (contents analysis). While the book Rasā’il al-Nūr is the main basis of every topic of discussion and includes some scholars' views on da‘wah communication. The results of the study set up that, Sa‘īd Nursī's greatest da‘wah contribution was through the writing approach. The findings also set up that Sa‘īd Nursī's da‘wah experience in colorful stages of his life similar to politics, education, war, and so on, caused him to be loaded with preaching experience with colorful forms of communication, especially in jotting, until he was appointed as a contemporary preacher of the Islamic world.

دور العصبية في أحداث الفتنة بقرطبة خلال القرن 5ه-11م

2023-06-19T00:38:05+08:00

During the fifth century AH (eleventh century AD), Andalusia witnessed historical events that historians called the “Fitna of al-Andalus”, which had an impact on various political and social levels, especially after the end of the rule of the Amiriden in 399 AH-1009 AD. During this period, Andalusia entered into ongoing conflicts between different classes of society. Moreover, this conflict increased in a dangerous way, threatening Islam and Muslims. It resulted in a new formation of political features for the map of Andalusia, distributed among the various actors from the social groups within their areas due to the political conditions that forced them to do so—with this policy, incidents and wars emerged between the various ethnic groups, perpetuating a state of insecurity and instability in the lives and properties of the various population groups. Ethnic conflict has been established between the Andalusian, Barbarian, and Ṣaqālibah communities, fueled by the spirit of tribal affiliation, which has become the main factor in the movement of strife and the determination of the relationship between the segments of Andalusian society within a tribal framework. In this study, we follow the descriptive and analytical methods of the course of events to highlight the goal of the tribal dimension and its role in feeding the nervous conflict in Andalusia, which destroyed Islamic civilization.
