Discourse of Hermeneutic Adoption as New Discipline Studies in Qur’an Interpretation: Definition, History, Termof Usage and Hermeneutic Approach
The application of hermeneutics in interpreting the Qur'an by contemporary scholars has garnered significant attention among Muslim academics, particularly within the field of 'Ulumul Qur'an. This discipline offers a framework for understanding the Qur'an through tafsir studies. This research aims to explore the definition of hermeneutics, its historical application to the Qur'an, its terminology, and the scope of its approach. Using a qualitative library research methodology, the study finds that hermeneutics can be a useful tool for understanding the Qur'an, albeit within the boundaries of ta’wil rather than serving as the primary method for interpreting sacred texts. While hermeneutics offers a framework for analyzing and explaining texts, Islamic interpretative sciences, such as 'Ulumul Qur'an, remain the foundational methodologies for Qur'anic exegesis. Regarding its application, certain limitations and rules must be observed. Hermeneutics should not be employed to critique the Qur'anic text, as its authenticity and preservation are unparalleled compared to other scriptures like the Bible. Furthermore, hermeneutics must not be used to diverge from established Islamic understanding. Instead, it should complement the interpretations provided by Islamic scholars and may integrate other approaches to enrich the study of the Qur'an. The research emphasizes the importance of solid grounding in Islamic scholarship—such as ‘Ilm Munasabah, ‘Ilm Qira’at, and Sabab al-Nuzul—before incorporating hermeneutics into Qur'anic studies. This ensures accurate comprehension and avoids misinterpretation. The author recommends that scholars enhance their expertise in traditional Islamic sciences to safeguard the integrity of Qur'anic interpretation when engaging with hermeneutical methods.

The Concept of Mediation in the Gospels and the Qur'an: The Importance of a Third Party Role for Conflict Resolution
Mediation is a method of conflict resolution that involves a third party as a mediator. The presence of a mediator is often considered important because of its neutral role in mediating conflicts. However, in practice, finding a third party willing to be a mediator is not easy, especially in conflicts involving religion. Religion, which is supposed to teach peaceful values, often fails to encourage its followers to act as peacemakers. In fact, religious conflicts often grow more complex by involving various parties. This research aims to interpret Abrahamic sacred texts, such as the Bible and the Qur'an, which are related to the concept of mediation or peacemaker. Through a text hermeneutics approach and the integration of conflict resolution theory, this research explores verses that discuss mediation, such as the term intermediary or peacemaker in the Bible, as well as tahkim, islah, and wasat in the Qur'an. The research highlights the need to integrate the concept of mediation with religious spiritual values to create a third party capable of using religious fervour in reconciling conflicts. This research offers a new approach by using Abrahamic sacred texts as a model for spirituality-based mediation, in contrast to the concept of mediation that has been seen more from a legal perspective. By internalising the teachings of peace from the two holy books, this research emphasises the importance of the presence of mediators based on religious values to create peace in the midst of conflict.

Main Creed and Branch Creeds in Islam: Beliefs and Their Implications in Muslim Society
Abstract. The basis of Islam is a strong creed that penetrates the hearts of Muslims. Creed becomes the foundation of a person’s religion. Islam is not only limited to belief but is also spoken verbally and demonstrated by actions. There are similarities and differences in the level of practicing the beliefs of Muslims. These similarities are agreed upon as qath’i dalalah and differences as zhanni dalalah. It is a must to collectively obey qath’i dalalah without any objections or disputes. On the contrary, it demands tolerance of zhanni dalalah in facing differences among the people. This is what causes the main creed and branch creed in Islam. This research is based on a literature study that takes data from historical texts, the Qur’an, the Sunnah, scientific articles, and other relevant readings. This study uses a descriptive-analytical method to reveal a theoretical review of the understanding of creed among Muslims, including beliefs and developing implications. Then, we should pay attention to the discourse and practical forms that occur and live in Muslim society. This study also provides theoretical recommendations and practical discourse in maintaining diversity and differences in Muslim culture and providing education on religious tolerance. Abstrak. Dasar dalam agama Islam adalah akidah yang kuat yang menghujam ke dalam sanubari hati umat Islam. Akidah menjadi landasan seseorang dalam beragama. Islam sebagai agama tidak hanya sebatas pada keyakinan, melainkan turut diucapkan melalui lisan, dan ditunjukkan dengan perbuatan. Dalam tataran pengamalan atas keyakinan umat Islam terdapat persamaan dan perbedaan. Persamaan itulah yang disepakati sebagai qath’i dalalah dan perbedaan sebagai zhanni dalalah. Adalah keharusan secara bersama menaati qath’i dalalah tanpa ada bantahan dan perselisihan di dalamnya. Sebaliknya menuntut adanya toleransi zhanni dalalah dalam menghadapi perbedaan di tengah umat. Inilah yang menyebabkan ada yang disebut akidah pokok dan akidah cabang dalam Islam. Penelitian ini berbasis studi pustaka yang mengambil data dari teks-teks turats, al-quran, sunnah, artikel ilmiah, dan bacaan lain yang relevan. Studi ini menggunakan metode deskriptif-analitis guna mengungkapkan tinjauan teoritis akan pemahaman akidah di tengah umat Islam, baik meliputi keyakinan dan implikasi yang berkembang. Kemudian memerhatikan wacana dan bentuk praktis yang terjadi dan hidup di tengah masyarakat muslim. Studi ini juga turut memberikan rekomendasi secara teoritis dan wacana praktis dalam memelihara keragaman dan perbedaan di tengah masyarakat muslim serta memberikan edukasi toleransi dalam beragama.

Ibrahim’s Discovery of God as a Representation of a Falsification Perspective (An Analysis QS. Al-An’am [6]: 74-79)
The study of the process of discovering God by Prophet Ibrahim in this study will be analysed with the representation of the falsification perspective. In previous research, QS. Al-An'am verses 74-79 were only studied based on historical, cosmological, and theological aspects. If traced back, there is an epistemological framework contained in the story of the discovery of God by Prophet Ibrahim. The structure of the story will be analysed based on the integration of the falsification perspective with the interpretation of QS. Al-An'am verses 74-79. This shows the epistemological results of QS. Al-An'am verses 74-79 as a representation of the falsification perspective. Among what is contained in this paper concerns the source of Prophet Ibrahim's knowledge, the method of seeking God's truth, and the epistemological principles that accompany it. Thus, this paper shows the narration of QS. Al-An'am verses 74-79 that contains a comprehensive scientific method, namely theological falsification. This shows the Qur'anic support for epistemology in the search for truth. Through the framework of falsification, the process of discovering God is not only a spiritual journey, but also an intellectual process to understand the existence and nature of the Creator.

THE HISTORIOGRAPHY OF AṢḤĀBUL KAHFI IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF TAFSĪR AND ASTRONOMY (AN ANALYTICAL STUDY OF QS. AL-KAHF VERSES 17 & 25)
This study aims to analyze the historiography of Aṣḥābul Kahfi through the perspective of Tafsīr and astronomy, focusing on QS. This study integrates classical Tafsīr understanding with modern astronomical knowledge to provide new insights into this story and its contribution to the understanding of history and science in Islam. The research method used is qualitative with a literature study approach. Primary data were obtained from classical and modern Tafsīr books, including Tafsīr Al-Munir by Az-Zuhaili, Fath al-Bayan fi Maqasid al-Qur'an by Siddiq Hasan Khan, and Al-Shamarikh fi 'Ilm al-Tarikh by Al-Suyuti. Secondary data includes modern astronomical literature and related studies. Data analysis was conducted through content analysis techniques and hermeneutic interpretation to integrate the Tafsīr perspective with astronomical understanding. The results show that the differences in interpretation of the position of the cave towards the sun (QS. Al-Kahf: 17) can be explained through astronomical analysis of the movement of the sun at various latitudes. The study also reveals that the difference of 300 shamsiyah years and 309 Qamarīyah years (QS. Al-Kahf: 25) reflects a sophisticated understanding of the dating system at that time. Furthermore, this study found that the use of the Qamarīyah calendar system in Islam has a strong astronomical basis, in addition to the familiar religious reasons. The integration of Tafsīr and astronomical perspectives provides a more comprehensive understanding of the Aṣḥābul Kahfi story, demonstrating the harmony between the Qur'anic narrative and astronomical phenomena. This research contributes to the development of interdisciplinary Tafsīr methodology and paves the way for further studies in understanding religious texts through a scientific approach.

TRACING THE INTEGRATIVE-INTERCONNECTIVE LEGACY IN SAHIRON SYAMSUDDIN’S MA'NA-CUM-MAGHZA APPROACH
It is notable that Amin Abdullah's integrative-interconnective approach with its methodological stages of hadarah al-nass (civilization of the text), hadarah al-ilm (civilization of science), and hadarah al-falsafah (civilization of philosophy) has introduces one of the most important concepts in the study of Islam in the scene of Indonesian Islamic higher education with its various branches of disciplines. This article tries to explore the influence of Abdullah’s integrative-interconnective approach in the discourse of Qur’anic studies as exemplified by Sahiron Syamsuddin's ma'na cum maghza, one of the recent methodological tools for interpreting the Qur’an composed by the scholar from the same university with Abdullah. Its key concepts include al-ma'na al-tarikhi (literal meaning), al-maghza al-tarikhi (historicalphenomenal significance), and al-maghza al-mutaharrik (dynamic phenomenal significance). The main purpose of this tool is to explore the main message implied by the sacred text by reviewing it in a wider context, including social, cultural, political, and economic factors. The aim of this study is to provide preliminary narrative in locating Abdullah's integrative-interconnective paradigm in Syamsuddin's Ma'nacum-Maghza discourse.

REVIEWING THE SCIENTIFIC PARADIGM OF UIN WALISONGO SEMARANG AND INSTIKA GULUK-GULUK SUMENEP THROUGH THE INTEGRATIVEINTERCONNECTIVE APPROACH
This article argues that UIN Walisongo and INSTIKA have same paradigm to develop science integration. UIN Walisongo uses unity of sciences paradigm while INSTIKA has tatakrama (bait al hikmah) as a source to develop each science at its department. The author uses integrative-interconnective approach conceived by Amin Abdullah to analyze both tatakrama and unity of sciences used by UIN Walisongo and INSTIKA. Specifically for analyze both Walisongo’s paradigm and INSTIKA, the author uses the concept of subjective and objective which are ulum al din and social sciences. In 21st century, we have to develop Islamic Studies in Islami Higher Education to integrate science as a pure science and science as civilization. According to Amin Abdullah, Islamic Studies requires a multidisciplinary approach and transdisciplinarity. That means monodisciplinary is very weak to be paradigm in digital era. What kind of integration in UIN Walisongo and INSTIKA according to integrative-interconnective’s perspective and what its contribution to Islamic Higher Education in Indonesia.

UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS AS A DRIVING FACTOR FOR THE INTEGRATIVEINTERCONNECTIVE APPROACH: A PSYCHOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE
In his book titled Multidisiplin, Interdisiplin, and Transdisciplin: Metode Studi Agama dan Studi Islam di Era Kontemporer, Chapter V, M. Amin Abdullah, the author, describes the tension between the logic of religion and the logic of science during the covid-19 outbreak. It means that the integrative-interconnective paradigm is still experiencing stagnation in the axiological order. Abdullah himself admits that dialoguing science and religion is still far away, let alone integrating them. In his observations, serious discussions about the relationship between science and religion are still rare. This article tries to give some insights from a psychological perspective through the very idea of awareness. To realize the integrative-interconnective paradigm, awareness is needed at a higher level than personal awareness, namely universal awareness. Therefore, this article tries to connect universal awareness with the concept of integrative-interconnective appriach, where universal awareness has a position as a driving factor in the formation of integrative-interconnective scientific axiology. The result of this research is about how universal awareness can be a driving factor for integrative-interconnective science. While the expected implications of this research are mainly as a reflection material for scientists, especially Muslim scientists, to achieve the axiological goals of the integrative-interconnective paradigm so that this can be the initial foothold for realizing integrative-interconnective goals in both the education sector and the social sector

INTERPRETASI AYAT LGBTQ IRSHAD MANJI DAN SCOTT KUGLE PRESPEKTIF TEORI SOSIO-KRITIK JURGEN HABERMAS
The Stonewall Riot in New York in 1969 is regarded as the starting point for the support of LGBT and Queer rights around the world. As a result of the riots, all LGBTQ communities celebrate pride month every June. This year 2022 is their 53rd celebration. Some scholars, activists and organizations concerned about the discrimination and persecution of the LGBTQ community, provide support by voicing freedom rights, fighting for legitimacy and legality, even to the point of reconstructing the interpretation of the Qur'anic verse that explains the meaning to support LGBTQ identity. Previous research on LGBTQ has described negative health impacts such as HIV and Aids, damaged morality, social change and discrimination. With some literature that shows the pros and cons of interpreting verses about LGBTQ, it is important to analyze to provide a critique of interpretation through Habermas' socio-critical public space theory as well as to provide a response to the pride month warning as a prevention of the increasing number and understanding of pro LGBTQ in Indonesia.

INTEGRATION-INTERCONNECTION: A REFLECTION
This article discusses the concept of "integrative-interconnective" that emerged during the transformation of IAIN Sunan Kalijaga into Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic University (UIN). This concept was initiated by Professor Amin Abdullah and aims to integrate Islamic sciences with other sciences to answer social problems, particularly those related to Islam and Indonesia. The article also examines the three domains of 3IK that can be done, namely philosophical, material, methodology, and strategy. The author argues that 3IK is not merely a branding strategy, but rather an Islamic paradigm that could answer the contemporary social problems faced by society.

This research is packaged through library research by basing the analysis on relevant and correlative sources. Primary data is taken from the fatwa decision document No. 14 Tahun 2021 Tentang Hukum Penggunaan Vaksin Covid-19 Produk Astra Zeneca by MUI. While secondary data is obtained through news reports, public media channels and other literature that still has a strong relationship with the main issue. This study concludes that MUI must consolidate, standardize and consider various perspectives in drawing the right conclusions and not causing public commotion and doubt.
TEORI EVOLUSI DALAM TAFSIR INDONESIA MUTAKHIR: STUDI PEMIKIRAN NASHRUDDIN BAIDAN
This article explores the interpretation of a recent Indonesian mufassir, Nashruddin Baidan, on the verses of human creation in general and the creation of Adam in particular. Unlike other mufassirs who generally deny the theory of evolution, Baidan has accepted and even used the theory of evolution to interprets the verses of human creation. Baidan presents the theory of passive evolution and creative evolution. Adam's creation occurred through creative evolution. In addition, according to Baidan's interpretation, Adam as a human ancestor was created through an evolutionary process that took a different path from the evolution of ape species. According to Baidan, humans and apes did evolve together, but the two species are not related by blood.
TAFSIR SALMAN: TAFSIR LOKAL BERCORAK ILMIAH ATAS JUZ ‘AMMA (SURAH AL-NABA SAMPAI AL-NAS)
The idea of writing tafsir Salman began when in mid-2010 the chairman of the Salman ITB Mosque Trustees Foundation (YPM) asked several persons (who eventually became the Salman tafsir writing team) to compile a tafsir of the Qur'an and the tafsir contains interpretation seen from the point of view of modern sciences (science) and classical tafsir sciences. Tafsir Salman is a scientific interpretation. Tafsir ilmi is a process of interpreting the Qur'an that uses scientific theories to explain the Quran verses. Or, a style of interpretations intended to explore scientific theories and philosophical thoughts from the Quran verses. The preparation of Salman's tafsir is to fulfill the criticism of scientific interpretations that have been written before because the writing of scientific interpretations today is seen as if Muslim scientists are looking for the truths of modern science in the Qur'an to show the superiority of Islam. The selection of Juz Amma as the suras that are commented because Juz Amma is one of the two juz in which the majority of the suras were revealed at the beginning of the prophetic period in Mecca or early Makiyyah. The early Makiyyah surahs contain the foundations of Islam, namely creed and morals, not yet concerning law and sharia.
Sufi or Islamic Mysticism uses the philosophy for searching for the truth. Narrative of Islamic Mysticism are spread around Indonesia with the focus of miracles that happen to normal people. Muslim then accepted the truth based on narratives created by Sufi. Some knowledge in Islam also relies on Sufi guidance. Normally the guidance for the truth comes from the idea of Sharia or Islamic Law. Based on their faith in a serial system of law, Wahabi group in Indonesia reject Sufi's idea. They believe in the sole scripture of the Quran, and some selected chosen hadith. The Narrative truth then questioned, as well as the description of love that Sufi has. Debates come to surface, along with segregation of Muslim community inside the Mosque. The Wahabis stand firm with their rigid translation and narratives they bring with Quran and Hadith. This study challenges the adagio that said, "if you want to find the truth, go to Quran and Hadith." Using qualitative research, recorded in-depth interview, and narrative analysis, this study explores how truth-seeking can be done. The result shows relations between Sharia and Sufi, especially in how it is narrated in Indonesian Muslim Community. And to support the challenge to adagio, this study includes a deeper understanding of holiness and divinity. Narratives that go around Sufi and truth, explained also from philosophical point of views, to name the study goes beyond Islamic teaching border. Besides that, this study also discusses Sufism, its basic terminology, and its development. The last point that grabbed is The Sufis have their own standard of accepting and perceiving Quran and Hadith that they can go with Islamic Narrative without breaching the Sharia.
DISCOURSE ON FREEDOM OF ART IN AESTHETICS AND MORALITY
The longing for freedom can be explained. Freedom and responsibility cannot be separated. Both are intertwined in the form of ethical obligations of human morality. Freedom beyond reason is actually too stupid to understand. Absurdity, arrogance and cowardice are true escapes. What escape can leave reality without the decency and genuine courage to accept it responsibly, but cowardice without ethical demands or moral imperatives. Talking about tastes cannot be separated from the need for the importance of moral standards, because feelings are basically never discussed thoroughly due to lack of objectivity. Moral standards are actually rules that underlie the assessment of something. Moral standards look at good or bad human behavior from an ethical perspective.
THE ROLE OF NYAI IN ACTUALIZING AN ECO-PESANTREN: A STUDY OF WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP AT THE ASY-SYARIFIY ISLAMIC ECO-BOARDING SCHOOL LUMAJANG EAST JAVA INDONESIA
Nyai is one of the central figures in the Islamic boarding school. Nyai is not only the wife of the Kiai but also the leader of spiritual activities and the whole life of the Islamic boarding school. Unfortunately, women's leadership is still always connoted as a negative thing. This is because there are still many extremists of patriarchal culture and gender-biased religious understandings that continue to be rooted in underestimating women. So that the concept of pure and broad leadership is tarnished by the understanding of women's leadership in a very narrow context. Moreover, the leadership within the scope of the Islamic educational institution is usually under the authority of a Kiai. This study highlights how a Nyai at the Asy-Syarifiy Islamic Eco-Boarding School has the power to manage all the ins and outs of Islamic boarding schools, especially her skills in realizing an ecological friendly Islamic boarding school, and how Nyai can make it an eco excellence boarding school in Lumajang district. A qualitative method with a feminist biographical and ethnographic approach is used in this article. This study shows, first, Nyai in Asy-Syarifiy has a democratic, transformative, and charismatic leadership style. Second, She applies special strategies regarding environmental management, cleanliness, and even the architecture of Islamic boarding schools.
THE HOPE AND CHALLENGES OF ISLAMIC JOURNALISM AMIDST THE COMMODIFICATION OF CELEBRITY GOSSIP AND INFOTAINMENT (A MEDIA AND CULTURAL PHILOSOPHY ANALYSIS)
Islam strictly prohibits gossip (backbiting) because of its potential for harm. However, Imam al-Ghazali described some types of gossip that are permissible. Socially, gossip can even be considered a part of friendship. In the construction of infotainment, gossip has become a commodity where celebrities play a significant role in the industry. Religious leaders have not competed with celebrities to be part of the entertainment frame and are subject to the demands of an increasingly competitive market. Islamic journalism should uphold ethical journalism practices and pioneer the revival of wholesome and educational entertainment. Media and cultural philosophy aim to trace the roots of the tradition of gossip, celebrities, and infotainment, and promote the importance of critical thinking in addressing these phenomena
THEOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: FACTORS SHAPING MUSLIMS’ ATTITUDES IN UNDERSTANDING THE COVID-19
This article seeks to contribute strategies to reduce the causalities of the plague through reviewing classical literature from the Muslim ummah, in regard with responding to the epidemic. This is a library research. The data relies on classical literatures and contemporary accounts by Indonesian Islamic institutions. Having collected important data, we retrospectively and critically analyze the historical accounts, and then identify the missing link between traditional practices on the pandemic and those of today in Indonesia. Findings suggest that the literature has recorded how Muslim communities divided in their ways of responding to the plague. One sees it as a predestined by God, but others suggest the possibility to take one destiny in favor to the other. In addition, it is also recorded in Muslim literature that self-isolation or quarantine is one of the best strategies to stop the transmission of the disease. This article is useful for Indonesian Muslim to reflect their view toward pandemics, that their Islamic attitudes need to take strategic decisions not to repeat the mistakes of previous Muslim generations. There are two types of responses emerged by the time pandemics in the Islamic history. First, accepting a pandemic as a form of grace and provisions of God, and second, is striving for better destiny. These attitudes always passed on by later generations. The acceptance of the Indonesian Muslim community regarding Covid-19 is at least divided into two theological tendencies, Jabariyah and Ash'ariyah. However, along with the increasing awareness of Muslims about a pandemic, through the rules and religious fatwas of the MUI, NU, and the government, the awareness of theological attitude of the Ash'ariyah then grew.
PRAKTIK KEKERASAN SIMBOLIK OLEH MAJELIS ULAMA INDONESIA (MUI) TENTANG FATWA HARAM PLURALISME AGAMA
Artikel ini mendeskripsikan kritik terhadap fatwa haram MUI tentang pluralisme agama yang tertuang dalam Keputusan Fatwa MUI Nomor: 7/MUNAS VII/MUI/II/2005. Fatwa ini sempat menuai kontroversi di kalangan masyarakat luas. Fokus kajian pada dua rumusan masalah: bagaimana pluralisme agama menurut Islam? Bagaimana fatwa haram MUI tentang pluralisme agama itu dikatakan telah melakukan praktik kekerasan simbolik? Teori yang dipakai untuk menganalisa permasalahan menggunakan kerangka berpikir Pierre Bordieu. Hasil dari penlitian ini menemukan bahwa wacana pluralisme sangat kompatibel dengan ajaran Islam. Pemahaman ini membawa konsekuensi pada sebuah lembaga atau individu yang mengharamkan paham pluralisme agama, seperti yang difatwakan oleh MUI. Keputusan fatwa MUI yang mengharamkan paham pluralisme sesungguhnya dalam perspektif Pierre Bordieu telah melakukan praktik kekerasan simbolik, dan itu berpotensi besar akan dijadikan justifikasi oleh individu atau kelompok tertentu melakukan intimidasi, bulliying, higga kekerasan fisik kepada pihak yang diangap meyakini paham pluralisme agama.

PANDEMI DAN KRISIS MULTIDIMENSIONAL DALAM TEOLOGI PEMBEBASAN ISLAM - KRISTEN
Artikel ini membahas pandemi dan krisis multidimensional yang muncul mengikutinya dalam kerangka wacana teologi pembebasan. Teologi pembebasan menjadi salah satu wacana teologi yang berpengaruh dalam abad 20 - 21, bahkan pengaruh ini tersebar dalam berbagai agama dan tradisi kepercayaan. Tetapi kemudian, teologi pembebasan yang secara umum muncul pada abad 20 perlu dikontekstualisasikan dengan realitas pandemi COVID-19. Kita bisa melihat bahwa persoalan pandemi bukan sekadar permasalahan medis dan sains semata, lebih besar daripada itu, terdapat krisis ekonomi, krisis medis, dan krisis sosial - politik dalam pandemi covid-19. Artikel ini ingin menunjukkan perlunya sebuah konstruksi teologis yang merespon "dunia dalam pandemi" beserta permasalahan dalamnya. Melalui kajian inter-religius, artikel ini juga ingin memikirkan ulang teologi pembebasan Islam - Kristen konvensional. Bahwa untuk merespon masalah global hari ini, teologi pembebasan butuh dirumuskan ulang dalam banyak perspektif iman dan tradisi agama. Sehingga konsep teologi pembebasan dalam merespon pandemi dan krisis yang mengikutinya adalah diskursus lintas agama. Gagasan - gagasan filsuf yang merespon realitas pandemi Covid - 19, seperti Slavoj Zizek, Giorgio Agamben, dan Yuval Noah Harari, akan memperkaya diskursus teologi pembebasan Islam - Kristen ini.
