Tafsir Islam Moderat di Media Sosial: Revitalisasi Syiar dan Kontestasi Narasi

Lukman Fajariyah — 2023-12-20

This study scrutinizes the dynamic interpretation and contestation of Islamic moderation (wasatiyah) on social media platforms. Amidst the rapid proliferation of moderation campaigns and diverse posts, the research systematically analyzes content using hashtags like #Islamwasathiyah, #wasathiyah, #moderasiberagama, #moderasi and #ayatayatmoderasi. The findings unveil intricate interpretations of moderation, encompassing both textual and contextual dimensions. Notably, the contested nature of moderation becomes apparent as proponents associate it with human brotherhood, tolerance, and the ideal Muslim attitude, while opponents view it as indicative of an unserious commitment or a half-hearted approach to Islam. These divergent perspectives, influenced by individual backgrounds and educational levels, significantly contribute to the broader discourse on religious moderation narratives within the dynamic discourse of social media.

Decoding the Final Sermon: Speech Acts and Islamic Imperatives in the Hadith of Hajj al-Wada'

Loekisno Choiril Warsito — 2023-12-20

The hadith concerning Hajj al-wada’, being the final utterance of Prophet Muhammad, has garnered significant attention from Hadith scholars, prompting various analyses of both its chain of narrators (sanad) and its content (matn). Focusing particularly on the matn aspect, scholars seek to delve into the deeper meaning embedded within the expressions or verbiage of the hadith, necessitating a thorough linguistic examination. This endeavor has given rise to the field of ma‘āni al-hadith, which centers its inquiry on the semantic nuances inherent within the text, whether textual or contextual. Within this contextual realm, pragmatic aspects take precedence, wherein the matn of the hadith is scrutinized through the lens of speech acts. In this article, we aim to explore the hadith of Hajj al-wada’ through the prism of one such pragmatic linguistic aspect: speech acts. This approach fundamentally analyzes the utterances or expressions -in this case, the matanof hadith hajj al-wada’- in light of the speaker’s and listener’s actions, encompassing locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts. Through this investigation, we endeavor to illuminate the deeper layers of meaning embedded within this seminal hadith.

Menelisik Dimensi Esoteris Al-Qur’an dalam Penafsiran Sufistik ‘Ā’ishah Al-Bā‘ūnīyah

Syamsuri Syamsuri — 2023-12-20

This paper explores the esoteric interpretations of the Qur’an as expounded by ‘Ā‘ishah al-Bā‘ūnīyah, a notable 16^th century female Sufi teacher, through her seminal work Al-Muntakhab fī Uṣūl al-Rutab fī ‘Ilm al-Taṣawwuf. Despite her non-mufasir status, ‘Ā‘ishah’s significant influence on Sufism thought is evident, particularly in her adept utilization of Qur’anic verses to fortify various Sufi concepts. This study unveils ‘Ā‘ishah’s thematic methodology in interpreting the Qur’an, demonstrating her reliance on Qur’anic signs and correlation-based approaches. Importantly, her esoteric interpretations align harmoniously with the literal meanings of the verses, adhere to Islamic jurisprudence, and are supported by robust arguments, including hadith and the consensus of classical Muslim scholars. This research underscores the intellectually grounded contributions of ‘Ā‘ishah al-Bā‘ūnīyah to Sufi thought, highlighting the compatibility of esoteric interpretations within the broader Islamic framework.
