PENDAMPINGAN PASTORAL BAGI PEMUDA:Pendampingan Pastoral Terhadap Pemuda Yang Mengalami Krisis Moral Dan Spiritual Di Gereja Toraja Jemaat Perindingan Klasis Sillanan
This study aims to examine and describe the implementation of pastoral accompaniment for youth experiencing moral and spiritual crises at the Toraja Church, Perindingan Congregation, Sillanan Classis, Tana Toraja Regency. Moral and spiritual crises among church youth have become an increasingly evident pastoral phenomenon amidst globalization, the development of digital technology, and shifts in cultural values that affect the faith life of the younger generation. This research employed a qualitative method with a pastoral action research approach, combining data collection through participatory observation, interviews, and reflection on pastoral accompaniment practices over approximately four months. The research subjects were youth of the Perindingan Congregation who were experiencing moral and spiritual crises, accompanied through both individual and group approaches. The results showed that pastoral accompaniment carried out by prioritizing empathy, confidentiality, openness, and a contextual approach that considers Toraja cultural values proved effective in helping youth rebuild trusting relationships, strengthen their awareness of Christian identity, encourage active participation in the church community, and form sustainable small accompaniment groups. The pastoral accompaniment also succeeded in inspiring the commitment of the congregation’s spiritual leaders to continue the accompaniment program in a planned and sustainable manner. This study concludes that holistic and contextual pastoral accompaniment is a relevant church response in assisting youth to overcome moral and spiritual crises, as well as restoring their role as an active next generation in church life.

KEPEMIMPINAN HAMBA MENURUT MARKUS 10: 45 SEBAGAI MODEL PELAYANAN DALAM TEOLOGI KRISTEN
This study aims to analyze the concept of servant leadership as presented in Mark 10:45—viewing it as a model of ministry within Christian theology—and to examine its implications for contemporary church ministry. The research employs a qualitative method utilizing a library research approach. Data were gathered through an examination of the Bible—specifically Mark 10:45—alongside relevant theological texts, biblical commentaries, and scholarly articles. Content analysis was used to interpret the theological meaning of the text and relate it to the practice of church ministry. The findings indicate that servant leadership is a leadership paradigm centered on love, humility, sacrifice, and responsibility, as exemplified by Jesus Christ. This concept serves not only as a theological foundation for church leadership but also as a relevant model for building leader character, strengthening pastoral ministry, fostering a collaborative culture of service, and enhancing the effectiveness of the church's mission amidst the challenges of modern society. Thus, Mark 10:45 remains a normative foundation for shaping Christian leadership oriented toward service and the glory of God.
KESELAMATAN OLEH ANUGERAH MENURUT EFESUS 2: 8-9 DALAM PERSPEKTIF TEOLOGI KRISTEN
This study aims to analyze the meaning of salvation by grace according to Ephesians 2:8–9 from a Christian theological perspective. It employs a qualitative method using a library research approach, examining the Bible as the primary source and drawing upon relevant theological texts, biblical commentaries, and scholarly articles. Content analysis is used to interpret the historical and theological contexts as well as the meaning of the text in Ephesians 2:8–9. The findings indicate that salvation is a work of God originating entirely from His grace and received through faith in Jesus Christ, rather than being the result of human effort or works. Salvation by grace constitutes the core of Christian soteriology, affirming God's sovereignty in the work of redemption. This understanding also carries theological implications for the believer's life, fostering humility, gratitude, holiness, and a spirit of service in response to God's grace. Thus, Ephesians 2:8–9 provides a solid theological foundation for understanding and living out the doctrine of salvation within the life of the contemporary church.
PENGARUH KEPEMIMPINAN PELAYAN TERHADAP KOMITMEN PELAYAN MUSIK GEREJAWI DI ERA DIGITAL
This study aims to analyze the influence of servant leadership on the commitment of church music ministers in the digital era. Technological advancements have transformed church ministry patterns—including music ministry—necessitating a leadership style capable of balancing the use of technology with Christian spiritual values. Employing a quantitative approach and a survey method, the study collected data via questionnaires distributed to church music ministers and analyzed the results using simple linear regression. The findings indicate that servant leadership—characterized by role modeling, humility, love, empowerment, effective communication, and spiritual integrity—positively influences the commitment of church music ministers. This commitment is reflected in loyalty, responsibility, discipline, consistency in ministry, and a willingness to develop competencies amidst digital technological advancements. The research confirms that implementing servant leadership fosters a healthy ministry culture, strengthens spirituality, enhances teamwork, and encourages the wise use of technology to support church ministry. Consequently, servant leadership serves as a relevant strategy for building a church music ministry that is adaptive, sustainable, and steadfastly oriented toward the glory of God.
EVALUASI MODEL-MODEL TEOLOGI PENEBUSAN DALAM KERANGKA TEORI DISABILITAS DAN KEADILAN TUBUH
The doctrine of redemption in Christian theology often unconsciously presupposes that a healthy and intact body represents the ideal image of redeemed humanity, while the condition of disability is regarded as a deficiency requiring restoration. This assumption is rarely subjected to critical scrutiny, even though contemporary disability theory rejects the view that bodily difference must be eliminated for a person to be considered spiritually whole. This study aims, first, to analyze the normative assumptions about the body embedded within classical and contemporary models of atonement theology; and second, to analyze the contribution of disability theory and body justice in reconstructing a more inclusive model of redemption theology. This research employs a qualitative method with a library research approach, gathering data from scholarly journal literature addressing the intersection of disability theology, redemption doctrine, and body justice, which is then analyzed descriptively-analytically and through critical hermeneutics. The findings indicate that the satisfaction model, the substitutionary model, and the eschatological healing model each carry non-neutral normative assumptions about the body, while disability theory offers the social model, a relational theology of the Body of Christ, and the concept of divine kenosis as pathways toward a more equitable reconstruction. This study concludes that redemption theology needs to be reconstructed from a paradigm of elimination toward a paradigm of participation and body justice, a shift particularly relevant for pastoral counseling practice toward persons with disabilities within ecclesial communities.
THEOLOGICAL AND SPIRITUAL MEANING IN THE REPETITION OF THE WORD ALLAH IN SURAH AL-MUJADILAH
Surah Al-Mujadilah has a unique linguistic feature in the Quran, namely the consistent mention of the word Allah in every verse, a total of 40 times in 22 verses. This phenomenon invites attention for in-depth study, especially in its theological and spiritual aspects. This research uses a qualitative method with a thematic (maudhū‘ī) approach to Surah Al-Mujadilah, and the analysis is based on the classical interpretation of Ibn Jarir At-Thabari. The research findings indicate that the repetition of the word "Allah" in this surah carries profound theological meaning, namely as an affirmation of Allah's presence and supervision in every aspect of human life, especially in social and legal contexts. Spiritually, this repetition shapes the spiritual awareness of its readers, fostering an attitude of muraqabah (spiritual contemplation), taqwa (piety), and submission to divine laws in family, community, and political life. Thus, it can be concluded that the repetition of the word Allah in Surah Al-Mujadilah is not merely a rhetorical element, but rather a divine strategy to instill the concept of monotheism and build a strong Islamic spirituality amidst the dynamics of human life.
EFEKTIVITAS KEPEMIMPINAN GEMBALA DALAM PERSPEKTIF YOHANES 10:11-13 PADA PEMBENTUKAN KARAKTER JEMAAT
Christian leadership has commonly been measured through numerical congregational growth, while character formation and depth of faith have rarely served as indicators of success. This gap has generated the need for an alternative leadership model centered on relationship and sacrifice, as portrayed in the good shepherd metaphor in John 10:11-13. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of shepherd leadership according to John 10:11-13 as a character-centered framework of Christian leadership, and to analyze its effectiveness in shaping the character of the congregation compared to numerical growth measures. This research employs a qualitative method through library research, combining an exegetical-hermeneutical study of John 10:11-13 with a review of contemporary leadership theology literature. The findings show that shepherd leadership rests on three main pillars: self-sacrifice, relational closeness expressed through knowing and being known, and integrity that stands in contrast to the pattern of the hired hand. These three pillars prove more effective in forming a mature, resilient, and principled congregational character than approaches oriented solely toward numbers. This study concludes that the effectiveness of shepherd leadership must be measured qualitatively through the transformation of congregational character, not merely through growth figures.
KONSELING PASTORAL KRISTEN SEBAGAI PERWUJUDAN PELAYANAN GEMBALA BERDASARKAN YOHANES 10 DALAM MERESPONS KEBUTUHAN KESEHATAN MENTAL JEMAAT
Christian pastoral counseling is an integral part of the church's mission in caring for the spiritual and emotional lives of its congregation. Amid growing mental health needs, especially in the post-pandemic era, the church is called to respond holistically. John 10 offers a rich theological portrayal of the Good Shepherd as a foundation for pastoral counseling. This study aims to analyze the shepherding principles in John 10 as the theological basis of Christian pastoral counseling, and to analyze the relevance of John 10-based pastoral counseling in holistically responding to the mental health needs of the congregation. A qualitative method with library research and a biblical hermeneutics approach was used. The findings indicate that the principles of deep knowing, soul care, and self-sacrifice in John 10 form a strong theological foundation for holistic pastoral counseling. Pastoral counseling centered on the Good Shepherd model bridges spiritual and psychological dimensions and effectively responds to the mental health needs of today's congregation.
HISTORIOGRAPHY OF HADITH IN THE MUTAQADDIMIN ERA (2ND-4TH CENTURIES)
This study discusses the historiography of hadith in the era of mutaqaddimin (2nd-4th centuries AH) which became an important era in the development of hadith. In this era, hadiths, which were previously more commonly narrated orally, began to be codified massively and systematically to maintain their authenticity. The effort to codify hadith was officially ordered by Caliph Umar bin Abdul Aziz (d. 101 H) to governors and hadith experts in various Islamic jurisdictions. The research method in this paper is qualitative with a descriptive-analytical approach to find out the history of hadith writing in the era of mutaqaddimin. In the 2nd century AH, hadith began to be systematically codified based on the order of certain chapters with hadith material that was still mixed between the hadith of the Prophet, the opinions of the companions and the fatwa of tabi'in. Then in the 3rd century A.D., it was considered the peak of hadith codification, where the codification of hadith was carried out systematically and had separated the hadith of the Prophet from others, there was also an assessment of the degree of hadith. In this century, the Pole of as-Sittah emerged which has become a source of reference for Islamic teachings until now. Then in the 4th century A.H., developing from the previous century in addition to codification in the form of sahih and sunan, it was also present in the form of mustadrak, mustakhraj and mu'jam
KONSEP SABAR DALAM AL-QUR’AN: STUDI TAFSIR TEMATIK TERHADAP AYAT-AYAT SABAR
This study aims to examine the concept of sabr patience in the Qur’an through a thematic exegesis approach by analyzing verses related to patience. In modern psychological studies, the concept of patience is often associated with resilience, emotional regulation, and self-control, but it tends to focus primarily on psychological aspects. Meanwhile, the Qur’an views sabr as a broader concept because it integratively encompasses spiritual, emotional, and social dimensions. Therefore, this study is conducted to construct a conceptual understanding of sabr from a Qur’anic perspective. This study employs a qualitative approach using the thematic exegesis method (tafsir maudhu‘i). The research data consist of Qur’anic verses related to the concept of sabr, which are analyzed through a process of thematic categorization based on semantic relevance. To strengthen the interpretation, this study refers to classical and contemporary exegetical works, such as Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Tafsir Al-Qurtubi, and Tafsir Al-Misbah. The findings show that the concept of sabr in the Qur’an is divided into three main themes: (1) sabr as a spiritual strength, related to steadfastness of faith and belief in Allah’s help; (2) sabr as emotional regulation and self-control, functioning as a religious coping mechanism in facing life’s pressures; and (3) sabr as social relations and solidarity, emphasizing the importance of empathy, tolerance, and mutual advice in social life. These findings indicate that sabr from a Qur’anic perspective is not only understood as the ability to endure trials, but also as a process of self-transformation that comprehensively integrates spiritual, emotional, and social dimensions.
KOMUNIKASI PASTORAL BERBASIS KEPEMIMPINAN YESUS SEBAGAI FONDASI LOYALITAS JEMAAT MASA KINI
This study aims to analyze pastoral communication patterns based on Jesus's leadership model and to reveal their relationship with the formation of contemporary congregational loyalty. The problem addressed stems from the reality that many church members leave not because they have lost their faith, but because they feel unheard and distant from their leaders. This study employs a qualitative method using a literature review approach, collecting and analyzing theological sources, academic journals, and relevant sociological studies. Data were analyzed descriptively-analytically to construct a synthesis between Christian leadership theory, pastoral communication, and congregational loyalty concepts. The findings indicate that pastoral communication rooted in Jesus's leadership model, namely humanistic, relational, and servant communication, proves to be a decisive foundation for congregational attachment to the church. Leadership that fails to listen and remain relationally present emerges as the primary push factor driving church membership migration. This study affirms that contemporary churches need to reconstruct their pastoral communication model based on Jesus's example as the Good Shepherd so that congregational loyalty can be formed and sustainably maintained.
ADOPSI TEKNOLOGI DIGITAL DALAM KEPEMIMPINAN KRISTEN DAN IMPLIKASINYA TERHADAP KOMUNITAS IMAN
Christian leadership faces growing demands in the digital era, yet adequate theological and practical guidance remains largely unavailable. This study aims to analyze previous research responses to the challenges of digital technology adoption in Christian leadership and to evaluate its implications for spiritual growth and faith communities. The study employs a systematic literature review method by collecting and analyzing reputable academic journal sources relevant to the research topic. Findings reveal that existing literature has identified substantial opportunities for mission expansion through digitalization, but has yet to offer contextually verified ethical frameworks for adoption. The impact of technology on faith communities works in two directions, expanding worship accessibility while simultaneously risking the erosion of authentic spiritual fellowship. This study concludes that effective Christian leadership in the digital era requires the integration of deep spirituality and adaptive digital competence, ensuring that technology serves as a ministry tool rather than a substitute for genuine faith community.
RELEVANSI PERAN GEREJA DALAM MEMBENTUK KARAKTER GENERASI MUDA DI ERA DIGITAL: SEBUAH KAJIAN TEOLOGI PRAKTIS
The development of the digital era poses serious challenges to the character formation of young Christians, as digital technology often displaces faith and moral values that should be shaped by the church. This study aims to: (1) analyze the condition of youth character formation in the digital era from a practical theological perspective, and (2) analyze the strategic role of the church in forming the character of young people in the digital era. The research employs a qualitative approach using a literature study method. Data sources consist of relevant theological and Christian education journals. Data were analyzed descriptively and analytically within a practical theological framework. The findings indicate that today's youth face identity crises, spiritual decline, and exposure to digital content contrary to Christian values. The church is called to be adaptively present through contextual ministry based on partnership, needs, and technology, while also synergizing with families to build a solid spiritual habitus. This study concludes that the relevant and strategic role of the church is decisive in forming Christian-charactered youth amid the tide of digital change.
DINAMIKA GERAK DAN ROTASI BUMI DALAM AL-QUR’AN: STUDI SAINS EKSEGETIS PERSPEKTIF ALI ASH-SHABUNI
This study discusses the dynamics of the earth’s motion and rotation in the Qur’an through the perspective of Ali Ash-Shabuni’s exegetical science approach. This research is motivated by the development of scientific interpretation (tafsir ‘ilmi) which seeks to integrate kauniyah verses with modern scientific findings, particularly in the fields of astronomy and geology. The study aims to analyze the epistemology of Ali Ash-Shabuni’s interpretation and explain the relevance of his interpretation to the phenomena of the earth’s motion and rotation based on modern science. The method employed is qualitative research based on library research using a descriptive-analytical approach. The primary data sources are Ali Ash-Shabuni’s works, especially Ḥarakat al-Arḍ wa Daurānuhā and Gerak dan Rotasi Bumi: Realitas Ilmiah dalam Al-Qur’an, while secondary data were obtained from various literature on Qur’anic exegesis, astronomy, and Islamic science. The findings reveal that Ali Ash-Shabuni combines the tafsir bi al-ma’ṡūr approach with rational and scientific analysis in interpreting kauniyah verses. His interpretation of Q.S. Az-Zumar [39]: 5, Q.S. Al-Anbiya’ [21]: 33, Q.S. Yasin [36]: 40, and Q.S. An-Naml [27]: 88 demonstrates a harmony between the Qur’an and modern science regarding the earth’s rotation, the movement of celestial bodies, and the function of mountains in maintaining the earth’s stability. This study confirms that Ash-Shabuni’s exegetical scientific approach does not position the Qur’an as a technical science textbook, but rather as a source of guidance that encourages humanity to understand the order of the universe as a manifestation of Allah’s power.
ASAL-USUL DAN EKSPANSI ALAM SEMESTA: STUDI KOMPARATIF ANTARA KOSMOLOGI MODERN DAN TAFSIR ILMI KARYA MIR ANEESUDIN
The study of the relationship between the Qur'an and modern science continues to develop alongside advances in scientific knowledge, particularly in astronomy and cosmology. One scholar who sought to integrate these two domains is Dr. Mir Aneesuddin through his work A Pocket Guide to Quran and Science. This study aims to analyze Mir Aneesuddin's views on the origin and expansion of the universe and compare them with modern cosmological theories. The research employs a qualitative approach using library research. Primary data are derived from Mir Aneesuddin's work, while secondary data consist of cosmological literature, scientific journals, and studies on scientific exegesis (tafsir ilmi). The analysis is conducted through a thematic-comparative (maudhū‘ī-muqāran) approach using descriptive-analytical and interpretative methods. The findings reveal that Mir Aneesuddin interprets the concepts of ratq and fataq in Qur'an 21:30 as indications of an initially unified universe that later underwent separation and development, conceptually corresponding to the Big Bang theory. Furthermore, the concept of lamūsi‘ūn in Qur'an 51:47 is understood as an indication of the universe's continuous expansion, which aligns with the expanding universe theory. However, the study also finds significant differences between modern cosmology and Aneesuddin's scientific exegesis in terms of epistemology, methodology, and objectives. Modern cosmology is based on empirical observation and scientific verification, whereas scientific exegesis is grounded in revelation as the primary source of knowledge. This study concludes that Mir Aneesuddin's thought provides a constructive framework for dialogue between revelation and science, allowing both to complement one another in explaining the reality of the universe.
RELEVANSI ETIKA QUR’ANI DALAM MENGHADAPI TANTANGAN MORAL MASYARAKAT MUSLIM KONTEMPORER
The development of information technology, globalization, and social transformation has brought various moral challenges to contemporary Muslim societies. Phenomena such as the spread of misinformation, declining communication ethics, increasing individualism, weakening social solidarity, and the erosion of moral responsibility indicate the urgency of strengthening ethical values based on Islamic teachings. This study aims to analyze the relevance of Qur'anic social ethics in addressing the moral challenges faced by contemporary Muslim communities. The research employs a qualitative approach using descriptive-analytical methods and thematic social interpretation. The primary data are derived from Qur'anic verses related to social ethics, while secondary data are obtained from classical and contemporary tafsir literature, academic books, and relevant scholarly articles. The findings reveal that the Qur'an offers comprehensive ethical principles through the values of justice ('adl), honesty (ṣidq), social solidarity (ta‘āwun), moral responsibility (mas'ūliyyah), tolerance (tasāmuḥ), and ethical communication. These values remain highly relevant in responding to various contemporary social issues, including misinformation, social conflict, moral degradation, and the challenges of digital society. Therefore, Qur'anic social ethics can serve not only as a normative religious guideline but also as a conceptual framework for building a just, harmonious, and civilized society in the modern era.
ANALISIS ETIKA TEOLOGIS KRISTEN TERHADAP FENOMENA ETNOSENTRISME DAN EKSKLUSIVISME SUKU DI LINGKUNGAN GEREJA
This study examines the phenomena of ethnocentrism and ethnic exclusivism within church communities from the perspective of Christian theological ethics. Many churches in Indonesia, particularly those with ethnic bases, tend to over-maintain ethnic identity, which gradually shifts into closed attitudes toward other groups. This research employs a qualitative library research method with a descriptive-analytical approach. The findings indicate that ethnocentrism and ethnic exclusivism within church communities contradict the principles of Christian theological ethics, particularly the doctrine of Imago Dei and the church's calling as an inclusive community of God's Kingdom. The church is called to transcend ethnic boundaries by building equal, open, and universally loving relationships as taught by Christ.
KAJIAN TEOLOGIS FEMINIS KEPEMIMPINAN DEBORA SEBAGAI PEREMPUAN YANG TEGAS MENURUT KITAB HAKIM-HAKIM 4-5
On this occasion I am a journal writer with the aim of fulfilling the assignment given to me as a student with the title of a feminist theological study of Debora's leadership as a firm woman according to the book of judges 4-5. Here we know that not all women can always be considered weak or unable to do anything. But again we realize that God created us in the image and likeness of God. So nothing is impossible if God is dealing with things in our lives like in temples that have a female gender, and we know that women always get a different or different opinion than a man, which is nothing new for us to hear that someone men become leaders. Gender news, the position of men is always used as a benchmark that they are at best special compared to a woman. This opinion or story causes misunderstandings to occur between women and men, including in the world of Christian theology, so this is what always happens, some even forbid or do not allow a woman's position to be a leader above men, and some even always based on gender whether he is the gender of a woman or a man and of course a man who does not need to be questioned whether he can be a leader or not. So through this assignment, I, as a writer, have the curiosity to find out what parts of the book are found in Judges 4-5, use methods so that I can know and understand that the characteristics of a leader's gender are not always seen in gender and not based on gender. may choose one gender but must be able to choose a leader who is obedient before God, and can be an example or role model for everyone around him and wherever he is he can reflect the qualities of God.
KONSEP PERGERAKAN DAN PEREDARAN BUMI DALAM AL-QUR'AN: ANALISIS TAFSIR ILMI TERHADAP TEMA ḤARAKAT AL-ARḌ WA DAWRANUHA ḤAQIQAH ‘ILMIYYAH ATSBATAHA AL-QUR’AN KARYA MUHAMMAD ALI ASH-SHABUNI
This study aims to analyze the writing systematics, interpretive methodology, and substantive ideas contained in Ḥarakat al-Arḍ wa Dawrānuhā Ḥaqīqah ‘Ilmiyyah Atsbatahā al-Qur’ān by Muhammad Ali Ash-Shabuni. The research employs a library research method with descriptive-systematic, comparative, and interpretative-integrative approaches. The primary source is Ash-Shabuni’s work itself, while secondary sources include classical Qur’anic commentaries, academic journal articles, and relevant astronomical literature. The findings reveal that Ash-Shabuni applies a thematic (maudhu‘i) method with a scientific (tafsir ilmi) orientation by integrating linguistic analysis of Qur’anic verses with modern scientific discoveries. The main themes of his interpretation concern the movement of the Earth, the spherical shape of the Earth, the orderly motion of celestial bodies, and the relationship between revelation and scientific knowledge. In explaining cosmological verses, he utilizes internal Qur’anic approaches such as syntax (nahwu), morphology (sharaf), and rhetoric (balaghah), while also correlating them with contemporary astronomical findings. Comparative analysis demonstrates that Ash-Shabuni’s interpretation differs from many classical exegetes who generally understood cosmological verses within theological and eschatological frameworks. Nevertheless, his integrative approach represents an effort to establish a constructive dialogue between revelation and science. This study concludes that Ash-Shabuni’s work makes a significant contribution to the development of contemporary scientific exegesis and reinforces the relevance of the Qur’an to modern scientific advancement while maintaining established principles of Qur’anic interpretation.
REKONSTRUKSI HERMENEUTIKA DALAM PENAFSIRAN AL-QUR’AN: STUDI KRITIS TERHADAP PARADIGMA TAFSIR MODERN
This study aims to examine the concept of hermeneutics in the interpretation of the Qur’an and to analyze the epistemological problems that arise within the paradigm of modern Qur’anic exegesis. The background of this research is based on the growing use of hermeneutics as an interpretive approach in Qur’anic studies, which has generated debates between traditional and modern perspectives. This research employs a qualitative approach with a library research method and utilizes content analysis and critical analysis as analytical tools. The findings indicate that hermeneutics contributes to enriching interpretive methods through contextual approaches; however, it also has the potential to produce relativism of meaning due to the dominance of the interpreter’s subjectivity. Therefore, a reconstruction of hermeneutics is necessary, integrating contextual approaches with the fundamental principles of classical Qur’anic exegesis. This reconstruction emphasizes a balance between textual and contextual dimensions while maintaining the authority of divine revelation as the primary foundation in interpreting the Qur’an. Thus, it is expected to develop an interpretive model that is relevant to contemporary developments without neglecting the established traditions of Islamic scholarship.
FIQIH BERSUCI DARI HADAS BESAR DAN HADAS KECIL
Purification (thaharah) is one of the fundamental pillars of Islamic worship. No prayer is considered valid without first purifying oneself from both major and minor ritual impurities (hadas) and physical impurities (najis). This article comprehensively discusses the concept of purification from major and minor ritual impurities based on the Qur'an, Hadith, and the opinions of scholars from various Islamic schools of jurisprudence. The study covers the definition of thaharah, the classification of ritual impurities, the procedures of wudu (ablution), ghusl janabah (ritual bath), tayammum as an alternative means of purification, and the factors that invalidate purification. The method employed is library research using a normative-comparative approach among the schools of Islamic jurisprudence. The findings indicate that Islam provides systematic and comprehensive guidelines regarding purification, aiming to preserve both the physical and spiritual purity of Muslims.
KONSEP PENCIPTAAN MANUSIA MENURUT AL-QUR’AN DAN TEORI EVOLUSI DALAM PERSPEKTIF TAFSIR ILMI: STUDI KOMPARATIF ANTARA TAFSIR AL-MISBAH KARYA M. QURAISH SHIHAB DAN BUKU KERUNTUHAN TEORI EVOLUSI KARYA HARUN YAHYA
The debate over the origins of humanity is one of the most crucial points of convergence between religious discourse and modern science. This study examines, through a comparative analysis, how the concept of human creation is articulated in two influential works: *Tafsir Al-Misbah* by M. Quraish Shihab and *The Collapse of the Theory of Evolution* by Harun Yahya. Using the framework of scientific exegesis as an analytical tool, this research traces how each author interprets the verses of the Qur’an concerning the creation of Prophet Adam, while simultaneously responding to the scientific claims of Darwin’s theory of evolution. The method employed is qualitative content analysis using a literature review and comparative approach. The findings of this study indicate that Quraish Shihab constructs his arguments through an open dialogue between the revealed text and scientific findings, adopting a cautious stance without hastily concluding that there is a contradiction. Conversely, Harun Yahya positions himself as a total rejectionist of evolution, employing a more apologetic and polemical approach. Both authors utilize the tradition of scientific exegesis, yet they depart from different epistemological premises and arrive at divergent conclusions. This article concludes that the dialogue between religion and science in the context of human creation requires a more integrative and scientifically honest methodological framework, rather than merely a confrontational one. The relevance of scientific exegesis in addressing the controversy over the first human remains significant, provided it is supported by adequate scientific understanding and mature textual hermeneutics.
ETIKA SOSIAL AL-QUR’AN DI ERA DIGITAL: KONTEKSTUALISASI AYAT-AYAT SOSIAL DALAM MENGHADAPI HOAKS, UJARAN KEBENCIAN, DAN KRISIS KEMANUSIAAN
This research aims to analyze the social ethics of the Qur'an in dealing with the problems of the digital society, especially hoaxes, hate speech, and humanitarian crises. The development of digital technology has changed the pattern of human communication to be faster, more open, and participatory. However, such progress has not always been accompanied by ethical awareness in receiving, disseminating and responding to information. As a result, the digital space is often a place for the spread of fake news, insults, prejudices, identity conflicts, and the weakening of humanitarian solidarity. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive-analytical methods and thematic social interpretation. The main data of the research is sourced from verses of the Qur'an related to social ethics, while supporting data is obtained from books of tafsir, Islamic ethics literature, communication studies, and previous research on digital society. The results of the study show that the social ethics of the Qur'an can be formulated through several main principles, namely tabayyun, qaulan sadidan, the prohibition of sukhriyyah and tajassus, justice, ta'awun, ukhuwah, and mercy. These principles can be the basis for building a digital culture that is honest, polite, fair, caring, and humanitarian-oriented. Thus, the Qur'an not only serves as a normative guideline, but also as a conceptual framework in shaping digital social ethics that is relevant to the lives of contemporary society.
TINJAUAN FIQIH TERHADAP SISTEM KREDIT ONLINE
The demands of the many necessities of life that must be met, which sometimes exceed one's living income, often result in a person choosing a way to make a loan to meet these needs, whether it is formally borrowing through banks or other loans. Along with the development of technology, there are now many applications that provide convenience in online lending and borrowing transactions. Practicality without knowing the place, time and being able to use existing platforms makes interest in using these online loan services increasingly rampant. However, is the agreement contained in the agreement and the nature of the agreement in accordance ccordance with the rules of Islamic agreement law considering that online loans, which are also called fintech (financial technology) are financial services in the form of loans and their application uses internet network information technology, where agreements are made without direct meetings between the lender and the borrower. In order to study further academically, a qualitative method with a descriptive approach was used by describing the law of qiradh in fiqh mu'amalah and the source of data obtained from the Fatwa of the National Sharia Council of the Indonesian Ulema o Council Number: 117/DSN-MUI/II/2018 concerning Service-Based Financing Information Technology Based on Sharia Principles, in addition to the results of the 2021 MUI Ulama Ijtima and other legal rules that have been issued as other general guidelines. Through this research, it is certainly hoped that the public can increase knowledge related to online lending and borrowing transactions according to the rules of Islamic contract law.
ANALISIS HUKUM JUAL BELI ONLINE DALAM PRESEKTIF FIQIH MUAMALAH
The development of information technology has encouraged the emergence of online buying and selling practices that are increasingly used in society. This study aims to analyze the law of online buying and selling from the perspective of muamalah fiqh. The problem studied is the validity of the contract and the implementation of buying and selling transactions via the internet according to Islamic law. Online buying and selling is a transaction between a seller and a buyer that is carried out without a face-to-face meeting, but rather through modern communication media. This study uses a qualitative approach with a library research type, namely by reviewing various literature in the form of books, scientific journals, and relevant academic documents. The results of the study indicate that online buying and selling is permissible and the contract is valid as long as it meets the requirements, namely the goods being traded are halal, have clear specifications, according to needs, and do not contain elements of fraud. In addition, the buyer has the right to accept or cancel the transaction if the goods do not match the order. In muamalah fiqh, this transaction is included in the concept of ittihad al-majlis, specifically ittihad al-zaman, where the contract occurs at the same time even though they are in different places.

HUTANG PIUTANG DALAM MASYARAKAT DITINJAU DARI PERSPEKTIF FIQIH
This study aims to analyze the practice of debt and receivables (qardh) in society from a fiqh perspective and the factors influencing it. Debt practices are widely carried out in daily life as a means of fulfilling economic needs. However, many practices deviate from Islamic law, including the presence of riba, unclear contracts, and negligence in repayment. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that public understanding of fiqh muamalah is still limited, which leads to inconsistencies between theory and practice. Therefore, more intensive education and guidance are needed so that debt transactions can be carried out in accordance with Islamic principles.

KONSEP RIBA DALAM TRANSAKSI DIGITAL: TINJAUAN HUKUM EKONOMI SYARIAH TERHADAP FINTECH, PAYLATER, DAN ASET KRIPTO
The evolution of digital transactions in 2026 has entered a new phase with the rise of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), increasingly regulated cryptocurrencies, and AI-based “pay-later” services. These conveniences demand clarity regarding their legal status from a Sharia perspective, particularly with regard to riba. This study aims to analyze the forms of riba in contemporary digital transactions and assess their compliance with DSN-MUI fatwas and the principles of muamalah fiqh. The research method is qualitative-descriptive, employing a literature review and fatwa analysis approach. The findings indicate that riba qardh and nasi’ah remain prevalent in conventional online lending, paylater interest that does not utilize Sharia contracts, and fixed returns in crypto staking and lending. These practices contradict DSN-MUI Fatwas No. 117/2018 and No. 28/2002. To avoid riba, every digital financial innovation must be based on Sharia contracts such as qardh, murabahah, mudharabah, or wakalah bil ujrah that are free from conditional surcharges.
GEREJA RAMAH DISABILITAS SEBAGAI RUANG PENDIDIKAN INKLUSIF
This article discusses the importance of disability-friendly churches as inclusive educational spaces capable of reaching everyone, including children with special needs, in church life. This study employs a qualitative method, specifically a literature review, by examining various relevant journal articles on this topic. The results of the study indicate that the church bears moral, spiritual, and social responsibilities to serve as an ecosystem capable of welcoming every child without discrimination. Theological foundations regarding God’s love, the dignity of humanity as the image of God, and the example of Jesus’ ministry to the marginalized or those on the fringes of society form the very foundation for building an inclusive or disability-friendly church ministry. The reality on the ground shows that children with disabilities still face stigma, limited access to services, and a lack of attention to their growing faith education needs. Given this, the church should provide adaptive and down-to-earth ministries through an inclusive curriculum, pastoral care, training for church leaders, and fostering the involvement of parents and the wider community. A disability-friendly church is not merely an expression of social concern but an integral part of the tangible manifestation of Christ’s love, which embraces all children as precious individuals regardless of their background.

Anger is one of the various basic human emotions that if not managed properly has the potential to cause destructive impacts for both individuals and society, in Islam, especially in the Shia tradition, anger is not something that is eliminated but rather as an affective impulse that is important to be controlled consciously and meaningfully, this study aims to examine the strategy of emotional regulation in the hadiths of the Shia school, especially the concept of holding back anger (kadzm al-Ghaidzh) and its relevance analysis with James J. Gross's emotional regulation model. Through a qualitative-analytical approach to the hadiths in the book Al-Kafi, this study shows that: in the Shia tradition offers a layered emotional regulation strategy that includes controlling behavioral responses, physiological interventions with changes in body position, interpersonal regulation to managing situations through the principle of taqiyah in the context of power relations. Based on these findings, it shows that there is a conformity with the response modulation and situational selection models in Gross's view, and expands it with ethical, spiritual and social dimensions. In the Shia tradition, emotional regulation is viewed as a reflective choice that has an orientation towards self-safety, dignity and stability of social relations, this shows the important contribution of Shia hadith in the development of contemporary Islamic psychology that is contextual and sustainable.
