The main theme of the research is wetland farming communities facing the flow of modernization to outline farming community strategies in adapting wetland farming practices. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method based on considering the specificity of the theme according to the characteristics of the research area in Jelapat 1 Village, Tamban District, Barito Kuala Regency. Informants were selected purposively using the criteria of character, membership of farmer groups, and willingness to become informants. Data was collected using observation methods, in-depth interviews, and documentation to obtain valid and varied data. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing stages. For data credibility, triangulation techniques were used. The research results show that farmers in Jelapat 1 Village face water conditions that always inundate agricultural land, which is difficult to control due to strong natural factors. The challenges faced by farmers besides pasang pandit are also dwarf pests and birds. Concerning modernization, it can be concluded that farmers in Jelapat 1 Village use traditional knowledge in adapting agricultural practices in wetlands, namely, arranging planting patterns, making simple water channels, selecting superior seeds that suit wetland criteria, and using organic fertilizer. This phenomenon indicates the conservation of local wisdom in wetland farming in Jelapat 1 Village by the farming community.</p> Sigit Ruswinarsih, Reski P, Norkamaliah Norkamaliah, Tesaleonika Situmorang Copyright (c) 2024 Sigit Ruswinarsih, Reski P, Norkamaliah Norkamaliah, Tesaleonika Situmorang https://journal.ar-raniry.ac.id/sinthop/article/view/3981 Sun, 30 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Abd al-Rauf's Contributions to Quranic Exegesis: Historical Context, Methodology, and Malay Translation https://journal.ar-raniry.ac.id/sinthop/article/view/5456 <p>This study explores Abd al-Rauf's influence within the geographic and historical milieu of Aceh, focusing on his contributions during the reign of four sultanas and his role as Qadi Malik al-Adil. It underscores his historical approach to Quranic exegesis and efforts to make Quranic teachings accessible to Malay-speaking audiences. Using a systematic literature review, the study analyzes 21 key documents on Abd al-Rauf's contributions. Documents were selected based on relevance to three themes: geographic and historical context, tafsir methodology, and Quranic translation. Findings reveal that 43% of the literature highlights Abd al-Rauf's historical influence, 19% discusses his tafsir methodology, especially in Turjuman al-Mustafid, and 38% examines his translation of the Quran into Malay using the Jawi script. The study concludes that Abd al-Rauf's contributions have significantly enriched the Islamic intellectual tradition in Southeast Asia, enhancing the region's scholarly and cultural heritage and providing a foundation for ongoing research into Quranic exegesis and Islamic teachings in the Malay world.</p> Anayya Syadza Zainuddin, Kasimah Binti Kamaruddin, Zainuddin Zainuddin Copyright (c) 2024 Anayya Syadza Zainuddin, Kasimah Binti Kamaruddin, Zainuddin Zainuddin https://journal.ar-raniry.ac.id/sinthop/article/view/5456 Sun, 30 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Ulu al-Albab in the Qur'an: Meaning, Characteristics, and Role in Social Change https://journal.ar-raniry.ac.id/sinthop/article/view/5455 <p>This study aims to examine the Qur'anic verses that mention "ulū al-albāb." Using a qualitative research design and content analysis, the primary data were sourced from the Qur'an, while secondary data were collected from tafsir texts and scholarly articles. The findings reveal that "ulū al-albāb" possess profound intellectual and spiritual insight, characterized by knowledge, adherence to divine covenants, maintaining family ties, fear of God, patience, prayer, altruism, and repelling evil with good. These attributes distinguish them from ordinary intelligent individuals. "Ulū al-albāb" are well-suited to lead and implement "dakwah" (Islamic propagation), especially in methods requiring deep understanding and strategic implementation. They are expected to serve as agents of social change by occupying significant positions in societal institutions, leveraging their influence to drive positive transformations. This study highlights the importance of integrating textual and contextual approaches in understanding "dakwah" and the critical role of "ulū al-albāb" in Islamic thought and social change.</p> Muhammad Zaini Copyright (c) 2024 Muhammad Zaini https://journal.ar-raniry.ac.id/sinthop/article/view/5455 Sun, 30 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000 The Correlation of Muhkam Verses with Nasikh and Mansukh in Islamic Legal Determination https://journal.ar-raniry.ac.id/sinthop/article/view/5436 <p>This study examines the correlation between muhkam verses and nasikh wal mansukh in determining Islamic legal rulings. Muhkam verses, characterized by their clear and explicit meanings, and nasikh wal mansukh, referring to the abrogation of certain laws within the Qur'an, are foundational concepts in 'ulum al-Qur'an. The research utilizes a qualitative methodology, involving detailed textual analysis of primary Qur'anic verses and secondary scholarly interpretations. The findings reveal that while muhkam verses provide explicit legal instructions, the principles of nasikh wal mansukh allow for the adaptation of these laws in response to changing social and historical contexts. This dynamic interplay ensures that Islamic legal rulings remain relevant and effective across different eras and circumstances. The study highlights the necessity of understanding the conditions and implications of abrogation in Islamic law and underscores the importance of contextual and scholarly engagement in the interpretation and application of Qur'anic teachings. This comprehensive analysis contributes to the broader discourse on the flexibility and timeless applicability of Islamic law, demonstrating its capacity to address contemporary legal challenges without contradicting core religious principles.</p> Syukrinur Syukrinur Copyright (c) 2024 Syukrinur Syukrinur https://journal.ar-raniry.ac.id/sinthop/article/view/5436 Sun, 30 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Da'wah Methods in Qur'anic Invitations to Reflect on the Universe https://journal.ar-raniry.ac.id/sinthop/article/view/5454 <p>The Qur'an commands Muslims to observe and interpret the universe rationally, considering natural phenomena as signs of Allah's existence and guidance for humankind. This study explores the Qur'anic method of da'wah through verses inviting reflection on the universe. Employing a qualitative research design and a thematic analysis approach, the study examines Qur'anic verses related to natural phenomena and their implications for da'wah. Primary data sources include ayat kawniyyah (verses about natural phenomena) from the Qur'an, with secondary data from classical and contemporary Islamic scholarship, tafsir literature, and scientific studies on environmental preservation. The analysis reveals that the Qur'an emphasizes the observation and study of the universe, highlighting its creation, balance, and order by Allah. The study identifies three main da'wah methods: da’wah bi al-Hāl (concrete actions in environmental conservation), da’wah bi al-lisan (rational and scientific argumentation), and da’wah bi al-qalb (fostering opposition to environmental destruction). The findings underscore the importance of integrating spiritual, philosophical, and practical dimensions in environmental stewardship.</p> Mira Fauziah Copyright (c) 2024 Mira Fauziah https://journal.ar-raniry.ac.id/sinthop/article/view/5454 Sun, 30 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Exploring Negative Human Traits: A Thematic Tafsir of The Qur’an https://journal.ar-raniry.ac.id/sinthop/article/view/5516 <p>This article explores the intricate Qur’anic discourse on human nature, emphasizing the dualism of human existence and the potential for both moral elevation and descent. Employing thematic Tafsir, the study elucidates how the Qur’an portrays human beings as creatures of complex constitution—body, soul, and intellect—crafted in the most perfect form but susceptible to degradation to the lowest states. It further investigates negative human traits such as miserliness, impulsiveness, and injustice, providing a deep dive into traditional exegeses and contemporary interpretations. By analyzing these traits through the Qur’anic lens, the paper offers insights into the ethical and moral challenges humans face and the divine guidance provided to overcome these. Methodologically, the research synthesizes Qur’anic verses and scholarly interpretations, enriched by insights from Sufism and psychology, to construct a comprehensive understanding of human emotional and moral states. The findings suggest that awareness and self-reflection are crucial in mitigating negative traits and fostering a moral and spiritually aligned life.</p> Muslim Djuned, Khalis Akbar, Furqan Furqan Copyright (c) 2024 Muslim Djuned, Khalis Akbar, Furqan Furqan https://journal.ar-raniry.ac.id/sinthop/article/view/5516 Sun, 30 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Deciphering the Concept of Goodness in Islam: A Comprehensive Qur’anic Linguistic and Thematic Analysis https://journal.ar-raniry.ac.id/sinthop/article/view/5553 <p>This article delves into the concept of “goodness” (al-khair) within Islamic teachings as interpreted from the Qur’an, exploring its nuanced and context-dependent meanings. Al-khair in Arabic signifies all that is good and beneficial, standing in contrast to al-syar, which represents evil and wrongdoing. This study employs a descriptive-analytical qualitative approach, utilizing a detailed examination of Qur’anic verses, Tafsir literature, and Hadiths to unravel the layered meanings of al-khair. Our findings highlight that al-khair not only encompasses moral and social virtues but also material aspects such as wealth and physical well-being. The term is comparable to thayyibun, husnun, birrun, and ma’ruffun in the Qur’an, each carrying distinct but sometimes overlapping meanings. The analysis distinguishes three key dimensions of al-khair: the ultimate good deeds chosen for humanity, the commendable acts ordained by Allah, and attributes often associated with Allah’s characteristics. The study concludes that while goodness is generally perceived as desirable, its interpretation can vary significantly, leading to both positive and negative outcomes depending on the context.</p> Zainuddin Zainuddin Copyright (c) 2024 Zainuddin Zainuddin https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://journal.ar-raniry.ac.id/sinthop/article/view/5553 Sun, 30 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000
