This article aims to examine the transformation and historical development of Qur'anic exegesis during the reign of three major Islamic dynasties: Idrīsiyyah, Fāṭimiyyah, and Uthmāniyyah. The main research question explores how the patterns, methodologies, and contributions of tafsir evolved within the framework of political authority and socio-historical change. Employing a qualitative method with a historical approach, this study analyzes primary sources from classical tafsir works and secondary references from historical and academic literature. The findings reveal that tafsir underwent significant evolution during each dynastic period. Under the Idrīsiyyah dynasty, exegesis began to be codified with emphasis on Ahl al-Bayt, linguistics, and fiqh. The Fāṭimiyyah era developed theological and esoteric interpretations aligned with Ismaili Shi’ism. Meanwhile, the Uthmāniyyah period marked a diversification of interpretive approaches, including scientific, spiritual, adabī-societal, and legal methodologies, supported by formal institutions. This study concludes that tafsir is a dynamic intellectual product shaped by continuous interaction between the Qur'anic text, its interpreters, and the historical contexts in which they lived.

The Relationship Between Text and Context in Hadith Studies: The Theory of Asbāb al-Wurūd and Its Significance in Understanding Hadith

Aris Nurohman, Abdul Mustaqim — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Understanding ḥadīth requires more than a literal reading of the text; it must also take into account the historical, social, cultural, and linguistic contexts behind the Prophet Muhammad’s sayings. The theory of asbāb al-wurūd serves as a critical approach in ḥadīth studies, as it helps to uncover the underlying reasons or circumstances surrounding a particular prophetic statement. Through a qualitative library-based research method, this study explores the relationship between text and context in ḥadīth, and highlights the significance of asbāb al-wurūd in preventing misinterpretation and deepening the understanding of Islamic legal rulings. The findings reveal that asbāb al-wurūd not only clarifies the meaning of a ḥadīth more accurately but also provides a dynamic, inclusive, and contextually grounded interpretation aligned with the principles of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. Nevertheless, this approach faces certain limitations, particularly when the context is not explicitly recorded or relies on weak chains of narration. Therefore, methodological caution and a critical approach are essential in applying the asbāb al-wurūd theory in contemporary ḥadīth scholarship.

This study is motivated by the limited research on the specific methodologies employed in tafsir (Qur'anic interpretation) education within pesantren (Islamic boarding schools), despite its significant impact on shaping religious understanding and practice. The study aims to analyze and compare the tafsir learning and teaching methodologies at Al-Mashduqi Boarding School (AMBS) in Garut and Pesantren Al-Kamil in Tangerang. The research adopts a qualitative design, with data collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis at both pesantren. Data was analyzed through thematic analysis. The findings reveal that while both pesantren share some similarities in their approach to tafsir education, they also exhibit distinct differences in curriculum design, teaching methods, and evaluation strategies, reflecting their unique educational philosophies and goals. The study concludes that the methodologies employed are influenced by factors such as the pesantren's vision, the teachers' expertise, and the students' needs. The implications encompass practical recommendations for pesantren to enhance their tafsir education programs by incorporating diverse teaching methodologies, providing adequate resources, and addressing the challenges of teaching tafsir in the modern context. Additionally, this study identifies future research opportunities on the impact of different tafsir methodologies on students' understanding and application of the Qur'an.

Exploring the Concept of Ma'rifatullah as Preparation for Marriage: Thematic Study of Tafsir Al-Misbah

This research is motivated by the high divorce rate in Indonesia, which indicates a fragility in marital resilience. The root of the problem often lies in the daily interaction dynamics between partners with different characters and backgrounds. This article aims to explore the concept of ma’rifatullah (deep knowledge of Allah) as a fundamental spiritual provision for building household resilience and harmony. To achieve this objective, this study employs a qualitative method with a library research approach and applies thematic interpretation (tafsir maudu’i). The primary data source is Tafsir Al-Misbah by Muhammad Quraish Shihab, used to analyze QS. Az-Zāriyāt [51]: 56, QS. Al-Baqarah [2]: 2-3, QS. Ar-Rūm [30]: 21, and QS. Aṭ-Ṭalāq [65]: 2-3. This is supported by secondary sources such as relevant journals and books. The research findings conclude that ma’rifatullah offers a solid spiritual foundation by instilling the values of piety (taqwa), patience (sabr), gratitude (shukr), and trust in God (tawakkal). These values serve as a practical guide for couples in navigating conflict and household dynamics. Thus, the internalization of ma’rifatullah plays a crucial role as a shield against dissolution and as a bonding agent for realizing a family embodying tranquillity (sakinah), love (mawaddah), and mercy (rahmah).

Mental Health in the Perspective of Hadith: Utsman Najati’s Concept and Its Contribution to Islamic Education

Daffa Nur Fauzy, Farid Setiawan; Ammar Thufail Amrullah — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to analyze the concept of mental health in the thought of M. Utsman Najati and its contribution to the Islamic education paradigm. The research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing thematic analysis and hadith contextualization, to interpret the integration between revelation and psychology. The findings indicate that Najati’s key contribution is challenging the reductionist tendency of Western psychology by integrating spiritual, psychological, social, and biological dimensions into a unified, prophetic paradigm as the basis for achieving inner balance (at-tawāzun an-nafsī). He introduces a conceptual model for Islamic education that aims to develop the insān kāmil (complete human being), characterized by emotional stability, mental health, and spiritual resilience. The study’s novelty lies in using hadith as an epistemological source for Islamic mental health theory and applying a prophetic-psychological approach to character education. However, this study does not empirically test Najati’s concept within educational institutions. Therefore, future research is recommended to develop pedagogical models and mental health assessment instruments grounded in Islamic spirituality, to enhance the effectiveness of Islamic education in nurturing a resilient generation rooted in tawḥīd values.

Satire and Moral Critique in Hadith-Based Digital Da’wah: Hijab Discourses on TikTok

Ahmad Amri Ahsani, Mukhammad Zamzami, Muhammad Lutfi, Wael Hegazy — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This article problematizes the use of satirical narratives in TikTok-based digital da'wah that quote hadiths on the hijab, focusing on how satire functions both as moral critique and as a mechanism for producing stigma against Muslim women. This study examines how the TikTok account @musuhwanita constructs discourse through hadith-based satire and how these narratives shape social relations between men and women as well as configurations of religious authority in digital spaces. The central research question asks how discursive structures, social cognition, and ideological contexts operate in the satirical representation of the hijab. Empirically, the study is limited to an analysis of video content and audience comments published between August and September 2024, employing Teun A. van Dijk's Critical Discourse Analysis. This analysis is conducted from an Islamic normative perspective grounded in the principles of amr ma'ruf nahy munkar and da'wah digital ethics. This study contributes to digital Islamic studies by demonstrating how satirical da'wah reproduces and negotiates the meanings of hadith, hijab, and the representation of Muslim women within contemporary configurations of online religious authority.
