This study examines feminist interpretations of the story of Queen Balqis in Surah An-Naml verses 22–44 and its relevance to the legitimacy of women’s leadership in Islam. This research employs a qualitative approach through library research by analyzing classical and feminist tafsir. The findings show that classical exegetes such as Al-Tabari, Al-Qurtubi, and Ibn Kathir understood the story of Queen Balqis as a theological narrative emphasizing monotheism and the acceptance of divine guidance, rather than as a normative legitimization of women’s leadership. Meanwhile, feminist exegetes such as Amina Wadud and Abla Hasan interpret the story as a representation of rational and dialogical female leadership. However, feminist tafsir is considered to have methodological limitations due to its reliance on hermeneutical approaches, selective use of scriptural evidence, and tendency to overlook hadith and the understanding of the majority of early Muslim scholars (salaf). This study concludes that the story of Queen Balqis is more appropriately understood as a moral and theological lesson rather than a normative legitimization of women’s leadership in Islam.

UJIAN SEBAGAI DASAR PEMBENTUKAN DAN PENGUATAN KETAHANAN KESEHATAN MENTAL: KAJIAN SURAH AL-BAQARAH AYAT 155-157

Bunga Fitri Dayu, Mochammad Novendri Saputra, Syafi'i Syafi'i — Sun, 28 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to examine trials in the Qur'an, which can serve as a foundation for the formation and strengthening of mental health from a psychological perspective. The focus of this study is an analysis of Surah Al-Baqarah, verses 155–157, which describes various forms of life's trials, spiritual responses to them, and the rewards obtained. Using a qualitative method through a library approach, this study examines various sources such as the interpretations of Ibn Kathir, Al-Qurthubi, and psychological literature and resilience theory. The results of the study indicate that facing trials in Islam is not merely a passive attitude, but an active process in which the practice of patience and istirja' becomes a spiritual force that maintains the stability of one's emotions, thoughts, and behavior amidst pressure. The trials contained in Surah Al-Baqarah, verses 155–157 have strong relevance in developing resilience, namely the ability of an individual to recover from adversity and survive in the face of life's pressures. This study proves that trials function as a mechanism for developing mental health, where life's pressures are not seen as destructive, but rather as a medium for constructing mental resilience through the internalization of the values of patience and istirja'.

KONSEP BELA NEGARA MELALUI NILAI-NILAI AL-QUR’AN: TELAAH TAFSIR MAUDHU’I

M. Adip Habibi, Ahmad Zainuddin, M. Mukhid Mashuri, Nyoko Adi Kusyowo — Sun, 28 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines the concept of bela negara (state defense) from the Qur’anic perspective using a thematic interpretation (tafsir maudhu‘i) approach. The Qur’an does not explicitly mention nationalism or state defense in modern political terms, but these values are reflected through teachings on love for the homeland, obedience to legitimate leadership, unity, and tolerance in diversity. The study finds that state defense in the Qur’an includes not only physical protection but also moral, social, political, and spiritual responsibility. Maintaining justice, preserving national unity, and promoting social harmony are essential forms of defending the state within contemporary national life.

PENGARUH PEMAHAMAN SURAH AL-INSYIRAH AYAT 5-6 TERHADAP POLA PIKIR MAHASISWI ILMU AL-QUR’AN DAN TAFSIR DI INSTITUT AGAMA ISLAM IMAM SYAFI’I INDONESIA

Mutiya Syahrial, Mochammad Novendri Saputra, Syafi'i Syafi'i — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Mindset plays an important role in shaping how students understand, evaluate, and respond to academic and life challenges. Surah Al-Insyirah verses 5–6 contain values of optimism and mental reinforcement through the teaching that every hardship is always accompanied by ease. Previous studies have examined the relevance of Surah Al-Insyirah to psychological aspects such as academic stress and self-efficacy, yet quantitative studies specifically testing the relationship between understanding of this verse and students' mindset remain scarce. This study aims to determine the relationship between understanding of Surah Al-Insyirah verses 5–6 (X) and the mindset of female students (Y) of the Qur'anic Studies and Tafsir Program at Institut Agama Islam Imam Asy-Syafi'i Indonesia. This study employed a quantitative approach using proportionate stratified random sampling. The initial sample consisted of 106 respondents (Slovin formula); however, after data screening to remove incomplete, inconsistent, and outlier responses, the final sample used for analysis was 84 respondents (N = 84). Data were collected through a 1–5 Likert-scale questionnaire. Validity testing showed all items were valid (r calculated > r table of 0.212), and reliability testing showed the instrument was reliable (Cronbach's Alpha of 0.834 and 0.795). Descriptive statistics showed both variables were in the high category (mean X = 4.30; mean Y = 4.33). The Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test showed the data were not normally distributed (Sig. = 0.001), so the hypothesis was tested using Spearman's Rho. The correlation result showed a coefficient of -0.029 with a significance of 0.794 (> 0.05), leading to acceptance of H0. It is concluded that there is no significant relationship between understanding of Surah Al-Insyirah verses 5–6 and students' mindset, with a very weak and negative relationship strength, indicating that cognitive understanding alone is insufficient to shape mindset without a process of value internalization.

ANALYSIS OF THE LANGUAGE APPROACH IN DETERMINING THE LAW OF RIDDAH FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF HUMANISM IN THE TAFSIRI OF AL-JAMI’ LI AHKAM AL-QUR’AN BY AL-QURTHUBI

Abd. Jalil — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study analyzes the linguistic approach employed by al-Qurthubi in determining the law of riddah (apostasy) from a humanistic perspective in his exegetical work al-Jāmi' li Aḥkām al-Qur'ān. Using qualitative library research with a thematic exegesis method and Nashr Hamid Abu Zayd's textual reading framework, this study examines Qur'anic verses related to apostasy through lexicological, morphological, syntactic, semantic, and socio-historical contextual analysis. The findings reveal that a comprehensive linguistic analysis of the phrase lā ikrāha fī al-dīn firmly establishes religious freedom as a fundamental Qur'anic guarantee, while verses on riddah contain exclusively eschatological sanctions rather than worldly death penalties. Furthermore, the hadith man baddala dīnahu, when subjected to the principle of al-mutlaq yuqayyad, only applies to apostates who simultaneously engage in armed rebellion against the Muslim community. This study concludes that a thorough linguistic approach is indispensable for constructing a more humane, proportionate, and just Islamic legal understanding regarding apostasy.

PRIVASI DAN BATASAN DIRI DALAM AL-QUR'AN: RESPON TERHADAP ERA PENGAWASAN DIGITAL (Studi Tafsir Maudhu’i)

Azmel Munawar, Ahmad Zainuddin, Miftara Ainul Mufid, Amir Mahmud — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Perkembangan teknologi digital di era modern menghadirkan berbagai kemudahan dalam kehidupan manusia, namun di sisi lain juga menimbulkan persoalan serius terkait privasi dan batasan diri, khususnya melalui praktik pengawasan digital. Fenomena ini menimbulkan kekhawatiran terhadap pelanggaran hak individu, kebebasan personal, serta potensi penyalahgunaan data pribadi. Al-Qur’an sebagai sumber utama ajaran Islam memiliki prinsip-prinsip yang mengatur etika sosial, perlindungan privasi, dan batasan dalam mengawasi kehidupan orang lain. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji konsep privasi dan batasan diri dalam Al-Qur’an serta relevansinya sebagai respons terhadap praktik pengawasan digital di era kontemporer. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah tafsir maudhu’i (tematik), dengan menghimpun ayat-ayat Al-Qur’an yang berkaitan dengan larangan tajassus (memata-matai), menjaga kehormatan manusia, adab pergaulan, serta prinsip tanggung jawab moral dalam penggunaan informasi. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa Al-Qur’an secara tegas menekankan pentingnya penghormatan terhadap privasi individu dan menetapkan batasan etis dalam mengakses serta menyebarkan informasi. Nilai-nilai tersebut relevan untuk dijadikan landasan etika dalam menghadapi tantangan pengawasan digital, sehingga teknologi dapat dimanfaatkan secara bertanggung jawab tanpa mengabaikan prinsip kemanusiaan dan keadilan. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi dalam pengembangan wacana tafsir Al-Qur’an yang kontekstual serta menjadi rujukan etis dalam menghadapi dinamika era digital.
