Innovative Agriculture Based on Islamic Economics in the Development of Farmer Groups Towards a Green Economy
This research aims to examine Islamic economics as a driver of creativity among farming groups in response to the green economy era. This is because the link between the agricultural sector and the green economy is relevant to achieving the balance of nature and the environment, which are fundamental values of Islamic economics. Islamic economics is intended to guide every policy and activity in the economic sector. Furthermore, the relationship between the economic sector and agriculture is inextricable when the agricultural sector's primary objective is to generate profit. This research uses a qualitative approach, drawing on primary and secondary data collected from farmer groups in the districts of Tulungagung, Trenggalek and Blitar, to examine their efforts to be creative. The collected data is presented descriptively and analysed using the concept of content analysis through the lens of Islamic economics. The findings of this study indicate that: (1) Strategies to increase the creativity of farmer groups in the Tulungagung, Trenggalek and Blitar regencies when facing green economy policies include implementing various innovative sustainable agricultural practices. (2) Implementing Islamic economic concepts to strengthen the creativity of farmer groups in these districts in the face of green economy policies has led to a significant transformation in agricultural practices. This research suggests the potential integration of Islamic economic principles as a normative basis for formulating sustainable agricultural policies, particularly in enhancing the creative capacity of farming communities to adapt to the challenges of the green economy era.

An Analysis of the Impact of Project-Based Learning on Students’ Creative Thinking in Islamic Education Classrooms
The objective of this research is to ascertain the efficacy of PjBL (Project-Based Learning) in enhancing the creative thinking skills of students in Islamic Religious Education at SMP Negeri 1 Indramayu. The present study employed a quasi-experimental methodology, whereby a control group was tested before and after the implementation of the intervention. A sample of 25 grade eight students was utilised for this purpose. The present study employed an experimental method, incorporating a group pre-test and post-test design. The subjects of this study comprised students in Year 8E, with a total of 25 students participating. The data were collected through the administration of tests, the distribution of questionnaires, and the review of documentation. The test data were analysed using paired-sample t-tests and N-Gain tests in IBM SPSS Statistics software, version 26. The findings indicate that project-based learning methodologies enhance students' creative thinking skills at SMP Negeri 1 Indramayu with considerable efficacy, as evidenced by the students' response questionnaire scores, which equated to 83.00% of the total possible score. The N-gain test revealed an enhancement in students' creative thinking skills following the implementation of a project-based learning model, with an N-gain value of 0.59 in the medium category. The implementation of project-based learning is contingent on several factors, including the role of the teacher, the availability of facilities and infrastructure, and the level of student interest in learning. Conversely, the inhibiting factors of project-based learning are the relatively high costs, the relatively long time required, and passive students. The present study indicates that curriculum designers and educators in Islamic schools should consider adopting innovative, student-centred learning models to support the development of 21^(st)-century competencies.

Friday Free Lunch, Muslim Middle-Class Piety and Non-Secular Sociality in Yogyakarta Mosque
This paper aims to explain the formation of piety among the urban Muslim middle class, which seeks to achieve a non-secular social life. The practice of providing free lunch on Fridays is widespread among the middle class, especially in residential mosques. This phenomenon appears as a new form of piety that not only shapes religious class formations but also serves as an effort to achieve social class ethics. To achieve this objective, this study relies on qualitative data collected through observations at Bunda Mosque in Yogyakarta, a mosque located in a middle-class residential area. This research finds; First, the Muslim middle class constructs collective piety through rituals, wealth distribution and charity for those performing Friday rituals. The Friday free lunch practice is a direct interpretation of the Sunnah and an act of benefiting others. Second, this practice has an orientation toward achieving a non-secular life, which is not merely about the circulation of economic commodities but also involves the purification of wealth and religio-sociological ethics within the Muslim middle class. This study holds significance for the formation of class-based piety through the redistribution of welfare and offers a religious-sociological ethic that critically challenges the dominance of secular norms in urban space.
Decolonizing Zakat Discourse: Rethinking the Transformation from Consumptive to Productive Zakat through Ibn ‘Āshūr’s Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah in the Indonesian and Malaysian Contexts
This article critically analyzes the transformation of zakat (Islamic almsgiving) in Indonesia and Malaysia through the ethical framework of Ibn ‘Āshūr’s Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah (Higher Objectives of Islamic Law), focusing on the key values of public good (maṣlaḥah), social justice (ʿadl), economic freedom (ḥurriyyah), and solidarity (taʿāwun). The discourse on shifting zakat distribution from consumptive to productive models has become central in contemporary Islamic social finance, particularly in debates surrounding sustainable poverty alleviation and the empowerment of zakat beneficiaries (mustaḥik). While consumptive zakat is often criticized for fostering dependency, productive zakat offers the promise of long-term socio-economic inclusion. Employing a qualitative-comparative method, this study draws on both classical and contemporary literature as well as field data from official reports of zakat institutions in Indonesia and Malaysia. The findings reveal varied degrees of alignment with the four ethical foundations. The public good (maṣlaḥah) is partially realized through measurable improvements in beneficiary income and skill development, though these outcomes often remain localized and lack integration into broader economic planning. Regarding social justice (ʿadl), the selective nature of program access and weak accountability raise concerns about fairness. Economic freedom (ḥurriyyah) remains hindered by limited capital access, inadequate institutional support, and bureaucratic rigidity, impeding beneficiaries' long-term financial independence. Solidarity (taʿāwun) is the least developed principle, as current zakat programs tend to rely on top-down implementation models that limit community participation and mutual cooperation. Theoretically, this study contributes to a decolonial rethinking of Islamic social finance by challenging charity-centric paradigms inherited from colonial frameworks. It proposes a maqāṣid-oriented vision of zakat as an emancipatory instrument of social transformation. The article advocates for participatory governance, integration with micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) policies, and ethical institutional reform to ensure zakat functions as a sustainable driver of socio-economic justice in Muslim-majority societies.

Decolonization of Islamic Education and Efforts to Achieve Academic Independence: A Case Study of Ma'had Aly Lirboyo Kediri
This study aims to examine how Ma’had Aly Lirboyo implements epistemological decolonization in Islamic education through the preservation of pesantren traditions and their integration into the formal higher education system. The background of this research is rooted in the dominance of Western epistemology within national education systems, which often marginalize the Islamic intellectual heritage. This is a field research study using a qualitative approach, employing techniques such as direct observation, in-depth interviews with Ma’had Aly administrators and educators, and documentation analysis of institutional policies and curricula. The findings reveal that Ma’had Aly Lirboyo successfully preserves traditional pesantren methods—such as bandongan, sorogan, wetonan, and daurah ilmiah—while adapting them to a structured academic system through the Fiqh Kebangsaan curriculum. This strategy has enabled the development of an Islamic education model that not only maintains sanad (chains of knowledge transmission) and scholarly authority but also responds effectively to national and global challenges. Theoretically, these findings reinforce the discourse of knowledge decolonization by demonstrating that local systems of knowledge—rooted in tradition, spirituality, and social context—can form legitimate, autonomous, and globally relevant educational frameworks.

Reclaiming Zakat as an Emancipatory Praxis: A Maqāṣid al-Sharī'ah-Based Reflection on Agricultural Justice and Farmer Welfare in Postcolonial Indonesia
This study aims to reposition zakat not merely as a philanthropic tool within the framework of modern economic rationality, but as an emancipatory praxis rooted in the ethical and spiritual values of Islam. In the context of Indonesia's postcolonial agrarian economy-still marked by structural inequality, marginalization of small farmers, and market domination-zakat is conceptually explored as a means of economic decolonization. Guided by the framework of maqāṣid al-sharī'ah and analyzed through the Analytical Network Process (ANP) method, the research examines how zakat-based agricultural programs conducted by several Lembaga Amil Zakat (LAZ), such as Daqu Agrotechno Daarul Qur'an, Dompet Dhuafa, and LAZ Al-Azhar, embody transformative potential in supporting farmer welfare (falah). The central research question asks: to what extent can zakat, through the principles of maqāṣid al-sharī'ah, function as a strategic tool for agrarian justice in postcolonial Indonesia? The study reveals that each LAZ prioritizes different maqāṣid principles, reflecting their respective philosophical orientations-spirituality (ad-dīn) for Daqu Agrotechno, intellectual empowerment (al-'aql) for Dompet Dhuafa, and economic independence (al-māl) for LAZ Al-Azhar. Nonetheless, when all respondent preferences are synthesized, the protection of family and lineage (an-nasl) emerges as the most important dimension (23.10%), followed by economic well-being (22.30%) and religious values (21.60%). The ANP model used in this research recorded high consistency across all decision inputs (inconsistency range: 0.00000 to 0.07103), reinforcing the validity of the findings. Overall, the research demonstrates that zakat, when reclaimed through a maqāṣid-based epistemology, can serve as a critical Islamic response to structural agrarian injustices, redefining development.

Language, Power, and Pluralism: Decolonizing Islamic Discourse through Abu Zayd’s Hermeneutics
This study aims to investigate how Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd employs language as a site of power and resistance in the reinterpretation of Islamic texts and the promotion of religious pluralism. It focuses on how his linguistic-hermeneutical approach challenges dominant literalist paradigms and contributes to the development of inclusive Islamic theology. The research adopts a qualitative methodology through textual analysis of Abu Zayd’s major works, complemented by a critical discourse analysis (CDA) framework. Key concepts such as language, power, and authority in interpretation are examined to understand how Abu Zayd reconstructs religious meaning within the context of sociopolitical realities. The findings reveal that Abu Zayd’s philosophy of language subverts literalist and hegemonic interpretations by promoting a dynamic, context-sensitive, and pluralistic reading of Islamic texts rooted in lived human experience. His hermeneutics exposes the embedded power relations in religious discourse and offers a critical lens for deconstructing interpretative authority. By foregrounding the role of language in shaping theological narratives, this study contributes to the decolonization of Islamic discourse and highlights Abu Zayd’s hermeneutics as a foundation for developing an emancipatory and pluralist Islamic theology, particularly relevant for Muslim communities beyond the dominant Arab-Western paradigms. This research contributes to the decolonization of Islamic studies by demonstrating how linguistic awareness and interpretive plurality can challenge hegemonic discourses, reclaim interpretative agency, and open new spaces for contextual and inclusive Islamic thought, especially within postcolonial Muslim societies.

Decolonizing Constitutional Democracy: Reconfiguring Indonesia's Presidential Election System from the Perspective of Siyasah Syar'iyyah
This study aims to reassess the Indonesian presidential electoral system within the context of postcolonial liberal democracy and to propose an alternative democratic framework rooted in the values of siyasah syar'iyyah (Islamic political governance) as part of the decolonization of Islamic politics. The main issues addressed include presidential conflicts of interest during election campaigns, weak electoral oversight institutions, and regulatory ambiguities that allow ethical distortions in democratic practices. The research adopts a normative-juridical approach combined with a conceptual analysis of siyasah shar'iyyah. Data were collected through the examination of electoral laws, academic literature, and classical Islamic political thought such as Al-Ahkam al-Sultaniyyah, Siyasah Syar'iyyah, and Al-Muwafaqat. A qualitative juridical analysis was employed to evaluate the alignment between positive legal norms and the principles of Islamic governance. The findings reveal a fundamental misalignment between Indonesia's electoral practices and the core Islamic political values of justice ('adl), integrity (amanah), and public welfare (maslahah). The phenomenon of presidential intervention in campaigns (cawe-cawe) signifies an ethical leadership crisis, legitimized by vague regulations and weak institutional checks. The study recommends the reconfiguration of Articles 281, 282, and 299 of Law No. 7/2017 as a normative measure to enforce political neutrality and prevent abuse of power. Theoretically, this research contributes to the discourse on decolonization in Islamic political studies and constitutional law. The siyasah syar'iyyah framework provides a more substantive and contextually grounded ethical paradigm than liberal democratic proceduralism and offers a pathway for integrating Islamic values into modern Indonesian political systems.

Decentering Islamic Authority in The Digital Sphere: Gus Baha’s Al-Hikam and The Reconfiguration of Vernacular Sufism in Indonesia
This study aims to address the lack of scholarly attention to the dominance of Western colonial knowledge and the strategies for restoring local Islamic epistemic authenticity in Indonesia’s digital public sphere. Specifically, it examines the digital preaching strategies of Gus Baha in his online Al-Hikam studies, focusing on how local religious elites rearticulate vernacular Islamic authority through digital media while maintaining harmony with their followers. The research employs a qualitative approach using digital ethnography and interpretive content analysis of four YouTube channels that regularly disseminate Gus Baha’s Al-Hikam lectures. The findings reveal three central strategies in Gus Baha’s digital da‘wa: re-centering pesantren authority through online kitab kuning recitations, emphasizing sanad (chain of knowledge transmission) as a marker of epistemic authenticity, and adapting Sufi teachings into accessible audiovisual formats without losing their intellectual and spiritual depth. These strategies demonstrate how pesantren-based scholarship, classical Sufi teachings, and Javanese cultural values are revitalized within the contemporary digital ecosystem, providing an alternative to dominant globalized and textualist Islamic discourses. Theoretically, this study contributes to the discourse on digital religion and Islamic authority by showing how vernacular Sufism, mediated through online platforms, enables local scholars to resist Western epistemic dominance. It affirms the continuity of traditional Islamic scholarship while opening possibilities for plural epistemologies in understanding Islam in the digital age.

Vernacular Qur'anic Interpretation in Gorontalo: Local Wisdom and Linguistic Strategies
This study investigates the process of vernacularization in the Gorontalo language translation of the Qur’an published by the Gorontalo Regional Government. Situated within the broader academic debate on postcolonial and decolonial Islamic hermeneutics, the research addresses how local languages and cultural frameworks participate in shaping religious meaning and resisting Arab-centric epistemic authority. Employing a qualitative methodology with a library research approach, the study utilizes descriptive analysis to examine textual elements in the translation. The findings reveal three major categories of local cultural integration: (1) lexical absorption—Arabic-derived terms adapted into Gorontalo, such as na'ale, aba/baaba, helidu, and sap; (2) linguistic politeness—refined expressions like waatia, yo'i, ti, and te that reflect local norms of respect; and (3) cultural expressions—idioms and metaphors such as Tabia, Ta ilahula, and Dulahu momooli, which encode Gorontalo cosmology and spiritual values. Theoretically, this research contributes to the discourse on vernacular Qur’anic interpretation by demonstrating that translation is a culturally embedded and ideologically charged act. It affirms the significance of local hermeneutics in constructing religious knowledge and challenges epistemic centralization by legitimizing vernacular voices within Islamic interpretive traditions.

The Implementation of Islamic Character Education in Overcoming Bullying Behavior in Islamic Primary Schools
The phenomenon of bullying in schools destroys the learning atmosphere and harms students' mental and emotional development. Even though Islamic character education has been implemented as part of the curriculum, cases of bullying still arise. This research aims to explore the implementation of Islamic character education in overcoming bullying behavior at SDIT Lampu Iman. Using qualitative methods and a case study approach, this research reveals that Islamic character education integrated into the curriculum and daily activities effectively reduces bullying incidents. This program involves important elements such as special training for teachers to recognize and handle bullying behavior and parental involvement in supporting Islamic character values at home. In addition, the school implements a safe and confidential reporting system for students who are victims or witnesses of bullying, so that they feel comfortable reporting incidents that occur. The research results showed a significant reduction in bullying incidents and positive changes in student behavior, such as increased empathy, solidarity, and cooperation. Hopefully, this research can significantly contribute to the development of Islamic character education programs in Integrated Islamic schools, creating a safe, supportive, and conducive learning environment for students' optimal development.

Qur’anic Studies in the Global Academic Sphere: Bibliometric Mapping of Research Themes, Collaborations, and Emerging Directions
The study of Qur’anic Sciences has long been a central focus within Islamic scholarship, yet comprehensive mapping of its global trajectories, collaborations, and emerging themes remains insufficiently addressed. This study aims to critically analyze the dynamics of Qur’anic Studies in the global academic sphere by identifying dominant themes, evaluating patterns of scholarly collaboration, and exploring the extent to which the field is diversifying into new disciplinary domains. Bibliometric analysis was employed as the primary method, using bibliographic data indexed in Scopus between 2001 and 2025. Harzing’s Publish or Perish (PoP) facilitated quantitative analysis, while VOSviewer was utilized for visualizing co-authorship networks, institutional clusters, and thematic density. The findings reveal that Qur’anic Studies continues to be shaped by individualistic scholarship, with a low co-authorship rate averaging one author per publication and moderate citation performance, reflected in an h-index of 7 and a g-index of 9. Thematic mapping highlights the persistent dominance of research on tafsir, hermeneutics, and contextual approaches, but also shows emerging directions connecting the Qur’an with education, public health, digital technology, and interfaith dialogue. Geographically, Southeast Asia—particularly Indonesia and Malaysia—emerges as the most productive hub, while Middle Eastern and Western institutions remain influential yet less collaborative across regions. Theoretically, this study underscores a critical paradox: while the field is experiencing thematic diversification, its fragmented networks and limited methodological innovations risk confining Qur’anic Studies to regional silos rather than advancing it as a globally dialogical discipline. Strengthening transnational collaboration, fostering interdisciplinary approaches, and promoting embodied engagement with contemporary issues are necessary steps to reposition Qur’anic Studies as a central node in broader academic and intellectual discourses.

Rahn Contract at Sharia Pawnshop in Madura: Analysis of Maqasid al-Shariah, Socio-Cultural Dynamics, and Socio-Economic Impacts
This study examines the implementation of the Rahn contract at Sharia Pawnshops in Madura, focusing on its alignment with the principles of Maqasid al-Shariah, the socio-cultural and religious dynamics influencing perceptions and implementation, as well as the resulting socio-economic impacts. The study is motivated by academic debates regarding the effectiveness of Islamic financial instruments in achieving societal welfare goals. Using a qualitative approach and a case study method, the research gathers data through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. The findings indicate that, in general, the Rahn contract at Sharia Pawnshops in Madura has fulfilled the objectives of Maqasid al-Shariah, particularly in terms of asset protection (hifz al-mal) and social welfare. However, its implementation still faces challenges, especially regarding transparency and financial literacy among the public. Furthermore, the socio-cultural and religious dynamics in Madura play a significant role in shaping public perceptions of Rahn, where local wisdom values and religious norms influence the use of Sharia pawnshop services. From a socio-economic impact perspective, the study finds that Sharia Pawnshops contribute to increased financial inclusion, better access to capital for small businesses, and a reduction in reliance on the conventional interest-based pawn system. However, there are some challenges, such as administrative fees that are still perceived as high by some members of the community and limited access in remote areas. These findings provide valuable insights for developing a more inclusive Rahn system that aligns with local community needs. Policy recommendations include enhancing Sharia financial education, optimizing Rahn-based financing schemes, and strengthening regulations to ensure transparency and sustainability for Sharia Pawnshops in Madura.

Sharia-Based Digital Economic Policies: A Maqasid Shariah Approach to Achieving Sustainable Development
The emergence of the digital economy as a form of technological advancement has created opportunities to support sustainable development. To achieve sustainable development and reduce economic disparities, guidance through economic policies becomes essential. This study aims to explore the potential of Sharia-based digital economic policies in supporting sustainable development by addressing economic inequality. Using a normative jurisprudence approach, this research examines Islamic norms, principles, and evolving doctrines within the digital economy context. The research method applied is normative legal analysis with a conceptual approach. Digital economic policies grounded in Maqasid Shariah are expected to positively impact sustainable development, as they emphasize principles of justice, balance, and collective welfare. Therefore, implementing Sharia-based digital economic policies should be a primary focus within sustainable development efforts. Such policies should encompass the five dimensions of Maqasid Shariah—preserving religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property—and include essential aspects such as digital infrastructure development, comprehensive quality enhancement, strengthening Sharia-based financial systems, and adherence to good governance principles. Thus, Sharia-based digital economic policies hold significant potential to contribute to achieving sustainable development goals.

The Muslim Dress Codes Reception Among Minangkabau Youth in West Sumatra: A Socio-legal Analysis
This research attempts to describe the young Minangkabau generation's reception of Muslim dress codes in the public sphere and to reflect on an attempt to reconstruct the local identity of West Sumatra. Although the Muslim dress code has become a common sight and has been uniformly implemented in all educational institutions and government agencies, the reception of the younger Minangkabau generation towards these rules is not always directly proportional to the phenomenon. Using a qualitative approach and interviews with young people in Agam district, Lima Puluh Kota, and Tanah Datar, the research found that most of the sources contacted were unaware of the exact scope and legal enforcement of the regulation. But as Moslem, they agreed with the codes, although the critical notes about the implementation. Besides, only a small percentage opposed it. Considering the further discussion about the contents, the codes should also be implemented proportionately, without binding and forcing another religious follower to avoid the intolerant and discriminatory labels attached to the people of West Sumatra. Further, the reception must also be considered to regulate legal products that are close to Minangkabau community traditions to reconstruct the local identity of West Sumatra.

The Ritual Tradition of Esoteric Scientific Practices in Islamic Boarding Schools: A Study of Khizib Kubro Ismul Haq’s Practical Book
This paper examines the ritual tradition of esoteric scientific practices in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), with a focus on the practical teachings outlined in the Kitab Amalan Khizib Kubro Ismul Haq. The study employs a qualitative research approach, utilizing library research methods. The primary data source is the Kitab Amalan Khizib Kubro Ismul Haq, along with supporting literature such as books, academic articles, and journals relevant to the research topic. Data collection is carried out through documentation, and content analysis is used for data analysis, incorporating techniques of data condensation, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research findings reveal three main points. First, Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) are key institutions in preserving and developing Islamic traditions, including esoteric scientific practices. Second, esoteric practices are often misunderstood or negatively stigmatized due to a lack of comprehensive understanding, where the outward forms of the practices are emphasized over their deeper meanings. Third, the esoteric practices within pesantren share common ground with Sufism, as both emphasize inner spiritual transformation and the unveiling of hidden truths, with the ultimate aim of attracting benefits and avoiding harm for the practitioner. This paper aims to offer a fresh perspective on the esoteric ritual traditions in Islamic boarding schools and contribute to a deeper understanding of their role in Islamic spiritual practices.

Sarong and Peci in Santri Tradition: Frithjof Schuon's Perennial Philosophy Perspective
In the context of Indonesia and several regions in Asia, including Africa, the sarung and peci play a significant role as cultural artifacts with both material and non-material value. This research explores the correlation between the sarung and peci with forming individual and collective identities, particularly within religious communities, such as the santri. Through a perennial philosophy approach, we analyze the role of religion in the cultural acculturation process among the santri. The study results indicate that the sarung and peci are symbols of religious expression and shape a collective identity that encompasses both esoteric and exoteric aspects. Additionally, there is a dualism in the symbolic structure built through the cultural acculturation of the santri, where the sarung and peci become symbolic representations of moral transcendence that distinguish them from the general populace

Muslim Minorities in the Context of Citizenship in Western Countries According to Fiqh al-Aqalliyat; Challenges and Obligations
In reality, the Muslim population in Western countries is increasing significantly every year. By 2030, it is projected that the world's Muslim population will reach 2.2 billion with a growth rate of 24.9%. Muslims living in Western countries live their lives as a minority group, they are faced with various complex challenges, ranging from worship issues, and muamalah, to marriage issues. This paper aims to examine the development, challenges, and problems faced by Muslim minorities living in Western countries, and how fiqh responds in providing solutions to all issues faced by Muslim minorities living in non-Muslim majority areas. This research method uses normative legal research, namely legal research that focuses on analyzing the text of laws and regulations, legal decisions, or other legal sources. The primary data is taken from classical and contemporary books, books, and reputable journals that discuss the problems of Muslim minorities in non-Muslim majority countries. The results of this study show that the presence of Muslims in Western countries poses a major challenge, namely changing the negative views of Western countries towards Islam which is considered an extreme and terrorist religion. Four serious issues are often faced by Muslim minorities: eating food slaughtered by non-Muslims, receiving inheritance from non-Muslims, marital relations between people of different religions, and wishing non-Muslims happy holidays. Although there is still debate among scholars regarding the issue of 'food from non-Muslim slaughter', they choose not to allow consuming food from non-Muslims based on the rule of shad al-zari'ah (closing opportunities). Apart from this, in the context of citizenship, Muslim minorities have six obligations towards the state, namely preaching, implementing basic religious laws, maintaining Islamic law, assisting the development of the state, establishing good relations between communities, and not rebelling against the state.

Assessing the Role of Product and Halal Label in Shaping Consumer Behavior: A Study of Purchasing Decisions in East Java
This study aims to analyse the influence of halal products and halal labels on Generation Z's purchasing decisions, considering product quality, brand perception, and price as mediating variables. The trend of increasing awareness of halal products among young consumers, this study focuses on the role of these factors in shaping purchasing decisions. The research method used is quantitative with a survey approach, involving 523 respondents from five districts and cities in East Java (Jombang, Kediri City, Kediri Regency, Tulungagung, and Trenggalek) selected through purposive sampling. The results showed that halal products affect product quality, which in turn affects purchasing decisions through price. Halal labelling, although it has an effect on brand perception, does not show a direct effect on price or purchasing decisions through brand perception and price. This study provides new insights into how halal, quality and price factors are interrelated in influencing Generation Z's purchasing behaviour, as well as the importance of product quality as a key factor in halal value-oriented purchasing decisions.

Gen Z Muslims, Social Contestation, and Digital Citizenship in Indonesia
This study aims to analyze the contestation, patterns, and forms of social movements among Gen Z Muslims in the era of digital citizenship. In this era, social movements are shaped by issue-based networks, and the key actors driving this transformation are Gen Z activists—particularly Muslim university students affiliated with Islamic student organizations. This article focuses on two main objectives: (1) to analyze the social contestation of Gen Z Muslim movements in the digital citizenship era and (2) to examine the patterns and forms of these movements in relation to their religious identity. This study employs a qualitative research method, with research subjects drawn from Islamic student organizations in Bandung and Pangkalpinang. Data collection techniques include: first, interviews, which were conducted to explore participants' perspectives on the ideology and activities of their movements; second, participatory observation, used to understand internal dynamics, patterns of interaction, and activism practices among Gen Z Muslims; and third, social media observation, utilized to analyze datasets from online platforms. The findings reveal two main categories of Gen Z Muslim social movements in the digital citizenship era: moderate and non-moderate. Moderate movements primarily focus their digital activism on issues of religious tolerance, inclusivity, interfaith dialogue, social justice, gender equality, and minority rights. In contrast, non-moderate movements center their activism on exclusive and conservative religious discourse, often using hashtags such as #Khilafah and #Hijrah as part of their outreach. These movements also tend to idolize figures advocating for religious purification and hijrah (religious migration). Furthermore, the patterns and forms of Gen Z Muslim social movements in the digital citizenship era are characterized by two key practices: volunteerism and crowdfunding, both of which serve as mechanisms for social engagement and mobilization.

Revisiting Ibn Rushd's Demonstrative Philosophy: Bridging Classical Thought and Scientific Integration in Contemporary Islamic Higher Education
This article aims to examine the thoughts of Ibn Rushd, particularly regarding the concept of the relationship between Sharia (religion) and Hikmah (philosophy) through the principle of double truth, and to explore its potential as a philosophical foundation for the development of integrative knowledge in Islamic Religious Higher Education (PTKI). This study also seeks to address the stigma that views Ibn Rushd as being in opposition to Islamic orthodoxy as upheld by al-Ghazali. By employing a qualitative approach through content analysis of Ibn Rushd’s major works on demonstrative philosophy (burhani reasoning), this research explores the relevance of his thought in integrating religious and general sciences within PTKI. A contextual analysis is conducted to understand the challenges and opportunities for applying his philosophy in Indonesia, where it has received relatively little attention compared to the Western world. The findings indicate that Ibn Rushd’s demonstrative philosophy, which emphasizes demonstrative logic and empirical observation, offers a robust methodological framework to support the integration of knowledge within PTKI. The burhani approach can serve as an epistemological foundation that bridges the dichotomy between religious and general sciences while contributing to the development of a holistic curriculum. This study provides a theoretical contribution by reaffirming the relevance of Ibn Rushd’s thought in shaping a rational and empirical paradigm of Islamic higher education. Additionally, it opens a space for discussion on the role of Islamic philosophy in addressing the challenges of religious education in the modern era.

Enhancing Digital Literacy through Chat GPT: The Impact on Islamic Education Research Skills Among Students at State Islamic University
The application of Chat GPT, an artificial intelligence model, to deepen understanding and improve digital literacy is one of the important technological advances. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of Chat GPT in enhancing the digital literacy skills of Islamic Education students at UINSA and the urgency of using Chat GPT in Islamic education research. This research includes quantitative research. The data collection technique used a questionnaire with a choice of 4 answers, namely: 1) Strongly Agree (SS) = score 5, 2) Agree (S) = score 4, 3) Agree enough (CS) = score 3, 4) Disagree (TS) = score 2, and 5) Agree (S) = score 1. The data analysis technique uses two types of tests, namely the linearity test to determine whether there is a relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable and the simple regression test to determine whether there is an influence of the independent variable on the dependent variable. The sampling technique used nonprobability sampling with a purposive sample type with Islamic education research variables at UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya. Informants who were sampled amounted to 20 students. Research using Paul Gilster's digital literacy theory approach resulted in the following conclusions: (1) the results of the linearity test with a value (sig) of 0.183> 0.05 means that there is a relationship between Chat GPT and the digital literacy of Postgraduate PAI students. (2) The results of the simple regression test with a value (sig) of 0.000 <0.05 means that Chat GPT has a significant influence on the digital literacy of Postgraduate PAI students. This study's results indicate that Chat GBT's use contributes to improving students' digital literacy skills, especially in the quality of online research.

On Validity of the Gharânîq Hadîth: Examining the Religious Reason of Exegesis Literatures
It is interesting to re-discuss the controversy about something claimed as a prophetic tradition (al-Hadîth), especially when it is related to its explanatory-doctrinal function to al-Qur’ân and to its implication for essential Islamic doctrines. The account of Gharâniq claimed by some experts as a prophetic tradition is one of the models of old cases, but it remains to produce a religious discourse colored with pros and cons. Some experts believe in the existence and validity of the account of Gharâniq, some others reject it partly or with “notesâ€, and the others reject it totally. This article tries to analyze critically the account of Gharâniq by exploring literatures on exegesis and traditions in order to discuss and treat this topic more proportionally.

Ta'zir (Punishment) at Islamic Boarding Schools; Between Tradition, Conception, and Shadows of Human Rights Violations
This article examines the practice of Ta'zir, a form of discretionary punishment, within the context of Islamic boarding schools. Ta'zir holds a significant place in Islamic jurisprudence, allowing authorities to determine penalties for offenses not explicitly addressed in religious texts. However, the application of Ta'zir has raised concerns, particularly in the context of Islamic boarding schools, where traditional practices intersect with modern notions of human rights. Drawing upon a multi-disciplinary approach, this study delves into the historical, cultural, and religious aspects of Ta'zir, elucidating its evolution from its inception to its current manifestations within Islamic boarding schools. By analyzing primary sources, legal texts, and case studies, the article underscores the diverse interpretations of Ta'zir and its malleability in adapting to contemporary circumstances. Furthermore, the article critically evaluates the potential conflicts between the traditional practice of Ta'zir and international human rights standards. It examines instances where Ta'zir punishments might be perceived as infringing upon human dignity, bodily integrity, and freedom from cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment. The study also explores the role of Islamic boarding schools in shaping and perpetuating these practices, considering the interplay between religious education, discipline, and the protection of children's rights. The findings of this research reveal a complex landscape where tradition clashes with modern sensibilities. The article advocates for a nuanced dialogue between religious scholars, educators, and human rights advocates to strike a balance between preserving cultural heritage and upholding universally recognized human rights. It highlights the importance of reinterpretation and contextualization of Ta'zir in line with the principles of justice, mercy, and human dignity as emphasized within Islamic teachings. In conclusion, this article contributes to the ongoing discourse on the compatibility of traditional Islamic practices with contemporary human rights frameworks. It calls for a thoughtful reevaluation of Ta'zir within Islamic boarding schools, promoting an inclusive approach that safeguards both religious heritage and fundamental human rights.

The Transition of the Boyongan Tradition Before the Wedding Procession in Central Java
This research investigates the Boyongan tradition's transition before marriage in Gagakan village, Blora Regency, where the bride stays at the groom's house before the consent of Kabul. This tradition is at odds with Islamic teachings due to the mixing of unrelated men and women in one place. Nevertheless, it continues to be practiced by the community. The study focuses on the historical context and current practices of the Boyongan tradition within the Gagakan village community, as well as the community's understanding of the Boyongan custom in pre-marriage settings. The qualitative research method involves direct interviews with various informants, including participants in the Boyongan tradition, elders, religious leaders, and residents of Gagakan village. Findings from the field data reveal that the Boyongan tradition is believed to safeguard the bride and groom's lives from malevolent forces in the afterlife. The Boyongan rule strictly applies only to the bride and groom, determined by the number of market days, the contract date, and the manner in which the woman enters the house. The practice of the Boyongan tradition has undergone notable transitions. While some members of Gagakan Village still adhere to the tradition, others have made adjustments to align with Islamic principles. These adaptations include limiting the duration of the stay, ensuring separate accommodations, and conducting a religious marriage beforehand. This research sheds light on the dynamics of cultural practices and their intersections with religious beliefs within the Gagakan village community. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the Boyongan tradition's historical roots and its contemporary adaptations, providing valuable insights for preserving cultural heritage while respecting religious norms in the context of evolving societal values.

Through his work, he invited Nahdliyin to re-explore the roots of authentic Islamic science, while still paying attention to the context of modern civilization. KH. Sahal Mahfudh's important contribution to developing scientific discourse among Nahdliyin helped unravel the stagnation of thought and paved the way for the continuous renewal of Islamic thought. Thus, this article provides insight into the importance of the renewal of thought among Nahdliyin, especially in the context of modern civilization.
