THE EROSION OF AL-MAWADDAH AND AR-RAHMAH VALUES IN MUSLIM MARRIAGES: A SOCIO-RELIGIOUS ANALYSIS OF MARITAL DYNAMICS IN LOMBOK
type: item
description: This study examines the dynamics of marital relationships within the Muslim community of Lombok, where high religiosity does not necessarily correspond to the achievement of the noble purposes of marriage. The high divorce rate is taken as evidence of difficulties in realizing the values of al-mawaddah (love) and ar-rahmah (compassion) within marital life. Employing a descriptive-analytic approach, the research integrates social exchange theory and a socio-religious framework, supported by empirical data on divorce rates. The findings indicate that the erosion of al-mawaddah and ar-rahmah values stems from a paradigm shift-from a marriage model grounded in mutual rights and obligations to one emphasizing individual freedom. This shift leads to emotional imbalance, communication breakdown, rising expectations and transformations in social values. From an Islamic perspective, marriage is not merely a transactional contract but a sacred covenant (mitsaqan ghalidzan) imbued with religious meaning. Al-mawaddah generates deep emotional attachment, while ar-rahmah nurtures endurance, patience, and sacrifice, thereby reinforcing marital harmony. The study contributes to understanding social changes within the marital institution in Lombok and underscores the significance of al-mawaddah and ar-rahmah as essential principles in sustaining marital stability and preventing divorce.

AN INTERLEGALITY-BASED ETHNOGRAPHY OF LIVING FIQH IN MINANGKABAU MARRIAGE PRACTICES
type: item
description: This article explores the issue of ethnographic-based interlegality of living fiqh in Minangkabau marriage practices. The purpose is to explain the uniqueness of negotiation and the embodiment of Islamic jurisprudence within Minangkabau socio-cultural settings. This study emphasizes the cognitive biases of the dichotomy between local-global, peripheral-central, and traditional-modern. The data examined came from the experience of the Minangkabau community in internalizing Islamic marriage law as a living legal practice, ranging from the marriage procedure, marriage contract, walimah, mediation, to divorce. This research collected, analyzed, and interpreted empirical legal data that reveals the integration of Islamic, customary and state legal norms in marriage practice. The findings of this study show the existence of a legal tripartite legal construction: first, the practice of customary marriage formed by Islamic jurisprudence. Second, the awareness of Islamic law is influenced by customary law. Third, the regulatory intervention of the state that wants the formation of harmonization between customs and Islam. This study has implications for living fiqh literacy which shows the universal principles of sharia law in cross-cultural life.

CONTRIBUTION OF SYIRKAH ‘INAN TOWARDS THE ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE OF THE COMMUNITY OF MAGELANG CITY, CENTRAL JAVA
type: item
description: This study is centered on exploring the implementation of Syirkah ‘Inan model as a strategy to build economic independence for lower-middle-class communities in Magelang City through organic fertilizer production. Therefore, a qualitative method and case study were adopted, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The interview session was held with business actors, cooperation partners, local religious leaders, and related communities. The results showed that Syirkah ‘Inan functioned as an adaptive strategy to limited access to capital from conventional financial institutions. This was realized by facilitating the accumulation of interest-free collective capital through a fair and participatory partnership pattern. In addition, the internalization of Islamic values was ​​reflected through orientation towards blessings, halal, and social responsibility rather than profit. This was supported by the Selapanan Forum (meeting every 35 days), an institutional innovation that integrated educational, managerial, and spiritual dimensions. The practice of Syirkah ‘Inan produced transformational impacts in three dimensions, namely economic (increased income and financial stability), social (strengthening community solidarity), and spiritual (cultivating values ​​of honesty and trustworthiness). These attributes led to individual economic independence and community resilience that does not depend on external market mechanisms, rather on the endogenous strength of the community. Theoretically, the study reported the relevance of the Islamic jurisprudence principle in the context of modern economic. It showed that Islamic economic was an effective operational system starting from the micro-community level. As a result, Syirkah ‘Inan model was proven to be a theologically relevant and socially effective alternative for empowerment in building sustainable economic independence.

ZAKAT FUND DISTRIBUTION MODULE THROUGH COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT PROGRAMS AT THE NATIONAL BOARD OF ZAKAT IN INDONESIA: A STUDY AT BAZNAS LAMPUNG PROVINCE
type: item
description: This study scrutinizes structural deficiencies in the governance of productive zakat distribution at BAZNAS Lampung Province, specifically focusing on the absence of empowerment-based distribution modules, mentorship practices that lack clear and measurable competency frameworks, and insufficient long-term monitoring mechanisms. Adopting a normative and empirical approach, the research derives data from in-depth interviews with amil and mustahik, complemented by an analysis of regulatory and institutional documents. Findings indicate that distribution remains predominantly administrative, mentorship lacks measurable competency indicators, and evaluation systems fail to capture sustained trajectories of mustahik business development. The novelty of this research lies in the formulation of an integrated module synthesizing legal perspectives, empowerment theory, and empirical practices to fortify zakat governance. The proposed module encompasses initial assessments, competency-based mentorship, and long-term performance evaluation systems. Theoretically, this study enriches the discourse on zakat governance; practically, it offers a replicable operational model to enhance accountability and mustahik self-reliance.

NYADRAN TRADITION AND THE DYNAMICS OF RELIGIOUS MODERATION IN URBAN MUSLIM COMMUNITIES: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC STUDY IN NGAYUNG, EAST JAVA
type: item
description: Strengthening religious moderation in Indonesia is urgent nowadays due to the increasing level of global polarization and religious sectarianism. Here, the university and pesantren’s roles are crucial. However, local tradition containing similar values has not received proper attention, both from policymakers and academia. Therefore, this article explores the nyadran tradition in Ngayung Village, Lamongan, East Java as an example of Islamic moderation based on Javanese wisdom. This article addresses how nyadran serves as a mediator to maintain interreligious harmony in an Islamic moderation perspective carried out through tawasuth, tasamuh, i'tidal, al-Iṣlāḥ, al-qudwah, and muwāṭanah. This study utilized a qualitative ethnographic approach. During the six-month data collection, researchers employed participant observation, in-depth interviews with 18 informants, including religious leaders, village elders and youth, and document analysis. The findings indicate that nyadran offers a microcosmic example of Islamic dialogical life because of its inclusive nature of people from various social backgrounds and religious persuasions. Besides holding on to tradition, the community also creatively reinterprets nyadran as tathawwur wa ibtikār amidst the burgeoning influence of urban religiosity and digital religious narratives. Analytically, nyadran functions as a hybrid social mechanism bridging rural piety and urban religious awareness, resulting in a culturally rooted form of religious moderation. This study contributes to strengthening religious moderation discourse by demonstrating local traditions as a sustainable framework for maintaining harmony in an increasingly diverse and modern Indonesian Muslim society.

SECOND ACCOUNT INSTAGRAM AS SPIRITUAL SPACES FOR URBAN SUFIS AND SELF-EXPRESSION ON SOCIAL MEDIA
type: item
description: The existence of social demands and ideal images that must be maintained on their main Instagram accounts limits students' interactions. To express their more honest personal sides, many students choose to create second Instagram accounts as a space for freer and more authentic expression. This study aims to understand how PAI UIN Palangka Raya students use their second Instagram accounts as a means of self-expression and personal spirituality. Using a mixed method with a Sequential Explanatory design, data were collected through questionnaires (Google Form) and in-depth interviews, then analyzed using SPSS 27. The research findings show that the use of Instagram second accounts and the level of self-expression of PAI students are in the moderate category, with an average of 36.75 and 35.50, respectively. Regression analysis shows a positive and significant effect of the second account on self-expression (B = 0.585; p = 0.000), meaning that the more active students in using their second account, the higher their self-expression on social media. Behind this data, it turns out that Instagram is not only a means of social communication, but also a space for reflection in line with urban Sufism values to integrate modern life with spiritual practices. Students post spiritual reflections, prayers, and feelings that cannot be displayed on their main accounts. These findings have implications for educational institutions, particularly Islamic Education Study Programs, to take advantage of this phenomenon as an opportunity to encourage students to express religious and humanitarian values creatively on social media, while maintaining academic ethics and norms.

UNVEILING THE ESSENCE OF WORLDLY LIFE THROUGH THE PERSPECTIVE OF TASAWUF IRFANI: A STUDY ON ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR INDONESIAN URBAN MUSLIM SOCIETY
type: item
description: This study examines the essence of world life through Tasawuf Irfani, which emphasizes intellectual understanding of divine knowledge and soul purification. It explores how these teachings shape Indonesian Muslims' perspectives on materialism, wealth, and life's true purpose. The study emphasizes the increasing focus on how Tasawuf Irfani tackles materialism, consumerism, and spiritual fulfillment, while existing literature mainly explores its philosophical aspects, neglecting its practical implementation in Indonesian society. This qualitative study uses literature review and textual analysis to explore Tasawuf Irfani’s teachings, Islamic views on worldly life, and their impact on socio-economic behaviors, focusing on the balance between material success and spiritual growth in Indonesia. The results reveal that Tasawuf Irfani provides a profound critique of materialism and consumerism, encouraging Indonesian Muslims to view wealth and worldly success as tools for spiritual growth rather than ultimate goals. It also fosters qualities such as humility, moderation and social responsibility. On the other hand, the study points out challenges like the risk of overly disengaging from material pursuits, which may result in limited involvement with pressing social issues in a pragmatic sense. Tasawuf Irfani concludes with a spiritually based perspective concerning wealth and success, suggesting potential integration within education and community initiatives to alleviate socio-economic issues in Indonesia, which can be the focus of future research.

URBAN MUSLIM PREFERENCES AND THE USE OF SHARIA MONETARY INSTRUMENTS: A CASE STUDY IN PEKALONGAN
type: item
description: This study explores urban Muslims’ preferences in Pekalongan for sharia monetary instruments—sukuk, mudharabah, and murabahah—focusing on their adoption in supporting MSMEs, particularly in the batik sector. Using a descriptive qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, it draws on OJK and BPS Pekalongan data alongside scholarly literature, but requires clearer justification for how these sources are integrated analytically. Findings highlight a preference for mudharabah and murabahah due to their alignment with Islamic ethical values and practical utility for MSMEs, while sukuk is underutilized due to its complexity and limited local relevance. Key drivers of adoption include strong Islamic identity, expanding sharia banking and fintech, and batik cooperatives, with barriers such as low sharia financial literacy (39.11%), regulatory gaps, and competition from conventional systems. The study proposes a Localized Islamic Financial Adoption Model inclusion framework combining maqasid al-shariah and diffusion of innovations theory, emphasizing cultural identity, literacy, and regulation. It recommends tailored financial education and local regulatory enhancements to strengthen Pekalongan’s sharia financial ecosystem, offering a model for other small Indonesian cities.

NAVIGATING MODERN CHALLENGES IN ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION IN URBAN MUSLIM COMMUNITIES
type: item
description: This study examines how Islamic schools in urbanized areas of East Kutai, a district in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, navigate pedagogical adaptation, maintain religious authenticity, and address the impact of student diversity. While East Kutai is geographically a district, its urbanized centers, particularly in towns like Sangatta, have seen rapid development, leading to an increasingly diverse student population and a blend of traditional and modern educational approaches. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study collected survey data from 309 students and conducted interviews with 36 teachers, parents, and students across four Islamic schools in the region. The findings reveal that blended learning models enhance engagement but require contextual adaptation to preserve religious depth. Privately funded schools demonstrate greater adaptability, while government-funded madrasahs face resource limitations. Additionally, cultural diversity enriches classroom discussions but complicates standardized learning. The study highlights the need for hybrid pedagogical strategies integrating digital tools without compromising theological integrity. Policymakers must address funding disparities and support teacher training to ensure inclusive, high-quality IRE. This research contributes to the discourse on religious education by proposing a contextualized digital adaptation model, offering practical recommendations for sustaining Islamic educational identity in urbanized settings.

THE STRATEGY OF COLLECTING ZAKAT, INFAQ, AND SHODAQOH FUNDS FROM ORPHANAGE INSTITUTIONS IN URBAN MUSLIM COMMUNITIES IN BANDAR LAMPUNG
type: item
description: The research was motivated by the reduced interest of the Muzakki in channeling funds, both zakat, infaq, and shodaqoh, at the Amil Zakat Institution. Therefore, a good fundraising strategy is needed at the Amil Zakat Institution to increase interest and channeling of zakat funds by Muzakki, so that the objectives of the Amil Zakat Institution are achieved. The collection of Zakat, Infaq, and Shodaqoh (ZIS) funds is one of the important aspects of Islamic wealth management. The purpose of this research is to analyze the effective ZIS collection strategy at Amil Zakat Institution. This type of research is field research with a qualitative approach, with a case study method at one of the Amil Zakat Institutions (LAZ) at Rumah Yatim in the Bandar Lampung Region. The data collection method uses observation, interview, and documentation. This data was analyzed with an inductive approach to draw general conclusions from the specific data collected. The results showed that effective ZIS fundraising strategies include: Increasing public awareness through campaigns and education related to zakat; Optimizing the use of information technology, such as mobile applications, websites and social media; Partnership with government agencies and private companies in the management of professional zakat and corporate zakat; Improving services and ease of ZIS payment; Strengthening human resources and collection infrastructure. From this study, Amil Zakat institutions must design innovative and adaptive ZIS fund collection strategies in line with current developments to maximize the potential of ZIS funds for the welfare of the community.

PESANTREN WOMEN COMMUNITY'S RESPONSE TO THE INDONESIAN ULEMA COUNCIL (MUI) FATWA ON PALESTINE: A PORTRAIT OF URBAN MUSLIM RELIGIOUS LIFE IN METRO CITY
type: item
description: This study examines the religious responses of pesantren-based Muslim women in urban Indonesia to the fatwa issued by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) supporting Palestine. The research focuses on the Jam'iyyah Perempuan Pengasuh Pesantren dan Muballighah (JP3M) in Metro City, employing a qualitative phenomenological approach through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The findings reveal three main dimensions in interpreting the fatwa: Islamic solidarity (ukhuwah Islamiyah), humanitarian solidarity (ukhuwah insaniyah), and contextual understanding. These dimensions manifest in community actions such as fundraising, digital campaigns, and public education, integrating religious values with modern practices. The study indicates that religious literacy, access to global information, and local social dynamics shape the religious expressions of urban Muslim women. However, the geographically limited context of Metro City may influence the findings due to regional cultural factors, community social structures, and institutional access, which may not reflect other urban settings. Therefore, comparative studies involving similar communities across diverse regions must capture a broader spectrum of religious responses. Moreover, a multidisciplinary approach combining perspectives from sociology, religious studies, and digital technology is essential to provide a more comprehensive and contextually relevant analysis of this complex global religious phenomenon.

FOSTERING BALANCED THINKING THROUGH HOLISTIC MODERATION EDUCATION: A STUDY OF THE URBAN MUSLIM SOCIETY
type: item
description: This study examines the application of moderation education based on a holistic approach as the key to building a balance of thinking to overcome radicalism and intolerance, especially in the context of the Contemporary Urban Muslim Society. This holistic approach integrates intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects to form a moderate, tolerant, and open-minded character, relevant to urban challenges such as cultural pluralism, secularism, and global information penetration. The study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach to explore the lived experiences and perspectives of students, educators, principals, and parents in educational institutions implementing holistic moderation education. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis to understand how moderation values are internalized in everyday learning practices. The findings show that the balance of thought resulting from holistic education effectively enhances critical thinking, empathy, and appreciation for diversity, key foundations in preventing extremism. In urban Muslim communities, interactive learning methods such as group discussions, cross-cultural studies, and project-based learning are essential to support the internalization of moderate values in complex social environments. The novelty of this study lies in its phenomenological insight into how holistic education fosters inclusive, progressive, and peace-oriented Muslim youth. However, the scope of this study is limited to urban Muslim settings, and the findings may not fully represent broader or rural contexts. This approach is expected to offer a contextual model for cultivating tolerance and resilience in global social dynamics while staying rooted in Islamic values.

IBN ARABI’S HERMENEUTICS AS AN ALTERNATIVE RELIGIOUS EXEGESIS FOR CONTEMPORARY URBAN MUSLIM COMMUNITIES
type: item
description: The understanding of religious texts in contemporary Muslim communities is often dominated by a rigid literal approach that overlooks the inner dimensions and social contexts. In facing the challenges of modernity, pluralism, and the complexities of urban life, an alternative interpretation that is more inclusive and flexible is needed. Ibn Arabi, a Sufi and Islamic philosopher, offers profound hermeneutics through the power of imagination, symbolism, ‘irfani epistemology, and his mystical system of knowledge. This study aims to explore Ibn Arabi’s hermeneutical concepts as an alternative religious interpretation relevant to contemporary urban Muslim communities. The method employed is a literature review using a hermeneutical approach, involving an in-depth analysis of Ibn Arabi’s major works, such as al-Futuhat al-Makiyyah and Fusus al-Hikam, along with modern interpretations of his intellectual legacy. The findings reveal that Ibn Arabi’s hermeneutics provide a strong foundation for understanding religious texts more holistically, integrating the inner and outer dimensions through methods such as ta’wil, kashf, and mushahadah. Ibn Arabi’s approach is relevant for urban communities as it bridges tradition and modernity, fostering a spiritual, inclusive, and contextual understanding of religion. His intellectual legacy not only addresses the challenges of modern religious interpretation but also opens up spaces for dialogue between Islamic traditions and contemporary societal needs.

AN ANALYSIS OF ISLAMIC BUSINESS ETHICS AMONG MUSLIM TRADERS WITHIN THE CONTEMPORARY URBAN MUSLIM SOCIETY OF THE CITY OF THOUSAND CHURCHES
type: item
description: Islam recognizes the urge to engage in commercial operations and does not forbid such activities; in fact, business activities can be an element of worship if done according to Islamic code of ethics. This principle becomes particularly relevant in analyzing the business practices of Muslim traders within the contemporary urban Muslim society of the City of Thousand Churches. The purpose of this article is to meticulously map the business practices of urban Muslim traders in the city of a thousand churches, using Rafik Issa Beekun's theory of Islamic business ethics, as well as theory indicators such as unity, equilibrium, freewill, responsibility, and benevolence. This study used a descriptive qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. A total of six informants, consisting of four women and two men who are Muslim traders in urban Manado, were selected to provide in-depth information based on their business experiences within the predominantly non-Muslim society. The data collected from these interviews were analyzed using the framework of Islamic business ethics to explore the ethical practices applied by these traders. The findings of this study demonstrate that practically all informants who operate as traders in the Urban Manado area met the five markers of Islamic business ethics theory. Although two traders' practices do not match the Free Will indicator, this has no substantial impact because they can still be improved through socialization. It may be inferred that, despite the fact that Muslim traders reside in a minority area, trade practices consistent with Islamic business ethics are nonetheless widely practiced by traders in Manado's urban centre, known as the city of a thousand churches.

THE PRACTICE OF UDDER ENGINEERING IN LIVESTOCK TRADE WITHIN URBAN MEDAN COMMUNITIES: PERSPECTIVE OF SHARIA ECONOMIC LAW
type: item
description: Animal trafficking in Medan City often involves illegal practices, including udder engineering. This research aims to analyze this practice within the framework of Sharia economic law, particularly through the lens of relevant Hadiths, and to provide actionable recommendations based on the findings. A qualitative approach, utilizing literature analysis, was employed to gather data from Hadiths, fatwas of Islamic scholars, and related Sharia economic law literature. The analysis was conducted both descriptively and analytically to explore the Sharia implications of udder engineering. The results indicate that udder engineering is a form of fraud explicitly prohibited in Islam. A Hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah forbids the mixing of milk from camels or goats to deceive buyers, allowing them to return the animal within three days if deceived and receive compensation. Sharia economic law emphasizes honesty, fairness, and transparency in trade. Udder engineering violates these principles by deceiving buyers, constituting a form of tadlis (fraud) that is prohibited in Islamic law. The study concludes that udder engineering not only undermines market trust and integrity but also directly contravenes key principles of Sharia economic law, particularly those related to honesty and fairness in transactions.

WASAṬIYYA AND THE URBAN MUSLIM MINORITY STATE: THE NCMF AND THE INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF ISLAMIC MODERATION IN THE PHILIPPINES
type: item
description: This paper argues that the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) plays a vital role in facilitating the inclusion and participation of marginalized Muslim minorities into the Philippine nation-state's development framework. While there have been extensive studies on how Wasaṭiyya was adopted by some Southeast Asian countries, little is known about this principle in the Philippines and how the government can utilize its state institutions like NCMF to address inclusion and welfare of its Muslim minority population. This study asks: How does the NCMF embodies and implements Wasaṭiyya principles in its mandates and programs for Muslim Filipinos? Specifically, through its diverse government programs and activities across key domains, NCMF substantively actualizes the principles of Wasaṭiyya - the Islamic values of moderation, justice, balance, ease, striving for excellence, and public good. The NCMF was chosen as the focus due to its unique position as the primary state body for Muslim affairs, offering a contemporary lens on minority governance. Thereby, it translates the abstract philosophical virtues into practical accommodation policies and arrangements that oblige the state's commitments and responsibilities towards respecting and upholding the identity, rights, welfare, and dignity of Muslim Filipinos. Furthermore, this paper argues that rather than coercive assimilation under a forced 'Filipino' identity construction, the Philippine government’s accommodation policies through the NCMF's cultivation of cultural sensitivity allow groups to access equitable progress and development of Muslim Filipino minorities. NCMF’s interventions enable vulnerable minorities to transition towards becoming stakeholders shaping an inclusive shared future. Institutionalizing Wasaṭiyya through the NCMF is crucial for the Philippines as it provides a culturally sensitive approach to Muslim minority integration, potentially mitigating historical tensions and fostering sustaina…

ALUMNI MANAGEMENT AND NETWORKING OF ISLAMIC EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN URBAN AREAS: A STUDY OF PESANTREN DARUNNAJAH JAKARTA AND PESANTREN DARUSSALAM GONTOR
type: item
description: A strong philosophical foundation in the management of santri alumni management is expected to maintain the values that have been instilled during the education process in Pesantren when they are already in the community. However, modernity and reality in urban areas become a challenge for alumni in maintaining the religious character formed on traditional values in pesantren. The purpose of this article is to examine the implementation of the Panca Dharma and Panca Jiwa paradigms in the management of alumni and pesantren networks in urban areas. This research is a descriptive-analytical qualitative research using a case study approach. Primary data is in the form of observations and interviews with figures in the alumni management process at Pesantren Darunnajah and Pesantren Darussalam Gontor. While secondary data is in the form of written sources and scientific references including books, journal articles, theses, and theses related to the research topic. Data were collected using observation and interview methods and analysed using the content analysis method. The results showed that the principles of Panca Dharma and Panca Jiwa are formed on the emotional relationship between santri and kyai, which results in obedience and compliance. This is an effort of pesantren in maintaining religious santri in urban areas to remain in the frame of religious attitude inclusivism. Alumni's pride and appreciation for the pesantren can be seen from their awareness of worship and achievement in the community. Through a strong philosophical foundation, pesantren have succeeded in giving birth to thousands of alumni with various professions such as politicians, judges, businessmen, clerics and religious leaders with their pesantren, officials of state agencies, private sector, military and others. The orientation of pesantren education that prioritises society makes them more flexible in moving amid the dynamics of urban reality.

CHARACTER EDUCATION FOR CONTEMPORARY URBAN MUSLIM STUDENTS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY AT UII AND UMY STUDENT ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOLS
type: item
description: This study explores the implementation of character education in two urban-based student Islamic boarding schools affiliated with Islamic universities in Yogyakarta: The Islamic University of Indonesia (UII) and Ma’had Aly bin Abi Talib at Muhammadiyah University of Yogyakarta (UMY). While character education is a key feature in both classical and modern pesantren, this research investigates how these two institutions adapt their strategies to address the moral and social challenges faced by contemporary urban Muslim students in higher education contexts. Using a qualitative field approach, data were collected through interviews with caregivers, lecturers, and students, as well as observations and institutional document analysis during the 2022–2023 academic year. The findings reveal that UII emphasizes structured mentoring, leadership development, and integrative academic-religious programs, while UMY focuses on project-based learning through da’wah and tahfidz activities to shape students’ religious, social, and leadership character. Unlike pesantren in rural or traditional contexts, these urban-based institutions integrate academic demands, digital technology, and modern social dynamics into their character education framework. This study contributes to a contextual understanding of character development for contemporary urban Muslim students in Islamic higher education institutions.

BADIUZZAMAN SAID NURSI'S PERSPECTIVE ON THE NEO-TASAWWUF ISSUE OF RISALE-I NUR IN URBAN MUSLIM SOCIETY
type: item
description: Tasawwuf is a part of the study that can explore mysticism in life to get nearer to God. The modern era has disrupted the essence of the role of religion and metaphysics to be something more material and substantial. As a consequence, there is a development of Islam with socio-moral reconstruction of urban society which is called neo-Sufism. The aim of this research is to see how Sa'id Nursi tried with his 'Aql (intellect) and Qalb (heart) to comprehend the al-Qur'an in order for human beings to reach the haqiqi (ultimate) truth. The type of this research is literature research (library research). In this regard, it is more focused on studying, analyzing, researching, and understanding the renewal of Sufism in the book of Kulliyyat Risale-I Nur. A thematic approach is also employed in interpreting Sa'id Nursi's Sufism. The finding in this study is that Said Nursi had provide neo-Sufism in tasawwuf is by making nature as a mediator between man and God by including an element of fikr between dzikr and shukr, where the other Sufis only use dzikr and shukr without fikr, for achieving makrifatullah. Also, it provides a reformation of Sa'id Nursi's tasawwuf in relation to the contextual-conditional factors and the spiritual aridity of twentieth-century urban Moslem society. Therefore, this neo-Tasawwuf could potentially serve a more positive functional role in contemporary society in all aspects.

type: item
description: Laws and regulations in Indonesia have regulated the existence of a new regulation on the marriage age limit, namely 19 years applicable to men and women, as stipulated in Law Number 16 of 2019 in response to the birth of the Constitutional Court Decision Number 22/PUUXV/2017, the marriage dispensation will be granted if two conditions are met, namely; First, it is urgent and has Second, it has sufficient evidence. This rule often makes it difficult for the community, so finally, many efforts to dispense Marriage are carried out to be able to carry out marriage contracts formally among urban Muslims.

This research aims to contribute new thinking to the reform of marriage law scientifically and logically. This research is a type of literature research, with a scientific-ratio approach to the minimum age limit for Marriage in Law Number 16 of 2019, with the theory of sadd al-dzariah as an effort to be able to present legal justice. The conclusion is that the determination of the judge of the Religious Court regarding the dispensation of Marriage for urgent reasons is the main argument, so there are often decisions on marriage dispensation at the age of under 16 years. However, according to the evidence submitted, sadd al-dzariah is a solution that logically violates the scientific ratio rules.

ABDURRAUF SINGKEL’S INSAN KAMIL CONCEPT TO ANSWER THE PROBLEM OF SEXUAL CONSENT, CHILDFREE, NATURE AND NURTURE IN URBAN SOCIETY
type: item
description: This article aims to analyze Abdurrauf Singkel's concept of Insan Kamil to address the problems of sexual consent, childfree, and nature and nurture which frequently arise in urban society. These issues are a common phenomenon in contemporary urban society due to their materialistic lifestyle and the pursuit of worldly goals by denying their true nature (fitrah). Sufism's concept of "Insan Kamil" depicts the ideal human being from every perspective—that is, the ideal human being as he is by nature. This concept of the perfect human will serve as an antidote to the three problems above, each of which is a deviation from the essence of human nature. This paper is a qualitative library research that analyzes data using an analytical descriptive method. This study concludes that, first and foremost all of these issues stem from the same root cause which is a denial of human nature. As a concept of the perfect human, Insan Kamil is a manifestation of achieving the pinnacle of humanity based on true human nature. Insan Kamil is also a condition of servitude to the highest degree or ihsan. Therefore, this concept is relevant to overcoming the root problems of sexual consent, childfree, and nature and nurture which stem from the denial of one's nature. By becoming Insan Kamil, someone can place himself according to his nature in the right and proper place.
