Fenomena validasi sosial di media sosial terus berkembang karena semakin pesatnya kemajuan teknologi komunikasi digital. Berbagai fitur media sosial mendorong orang untuk mencari perhatian, pujian, dan dukungan dari orang lain dengan membagikan konten di ruang digital yang bisa diakses siapa saja. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami konsep validasi sosial dari sudut pandang hadis Nabi Muhammad SAW dan melihat bagaimana konsep tersebut berhubungan dengan cara pengguna media sosial saat ini di era digital. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode hadis tematik (maudhu’i) dan teori terdidik (Grounded Theory). Data penelitian didapat dari hadis-hadis yang membahas tentang keikhlasan, pujian, riya', serta cara yang benar dalam menunjukkan amal dan perbuatan baik di hadapan orang lain. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Islam mengakui bahwa manusia membutuhkan pengakuan dari orang lain sebagai bagian dari sifat alami manusia, tetapi lebih menekankan pentingnya menjaga keikhlasan agar tidak terjebak dalam sikap riya'. Oleh karena itu, validasi sosial dalam perspektif hadis dianggap sebagai kebutuhan yang ada dalam masyarakat, namun harus seimbang dengan nilai-nilai spiritual, sehingga penggunaan media sosial bisa digunakan untuk mengajak orang lain kepada kebenaran, memberi pengetahuan, dan menyebarkan hal-hal yang baik.

The Vernacularization of Qur’anic Sciences through Pegon: Sholeh Darat’s al-Murshid al-Wajiz in Nineteenth-Century Java

Hazza Fitria Aulia — 2026-09-11

The study of Qur’anic scholarship in nineteenth-century Java has largely focused on Sholeh Darat’s exegetical works, particularly Fayḍ al-Raḥmān. In contrast, his contribution to the transmission of Qur’anic sciences (‘ulūm al-Qur’ān) remains comparatively understudied. This article examines the vernacularization of Qur’anic sciences through Sholeh Darat’s al-Murshid al-Wajīz fī ‘Ilm al-Qur’ān al-‘Azīz, with particular attention to its use of Javanese and Pegon script as a medium of religious knowledge transmission. Employing a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach combined with historical analysis, the study primarily draws on al-Murshid al-Wajīz. It contextualizes its contents within the intellectual and socio-historical conditions of nineteenth-century Java. The analysis reveals four interrelated dimensions of Sholeh Darat’s Qur’anic thought: prophethood and revelation, Qur’anic codification, ethical engagement with the Qur’an, and the obligation to study ‘ilm al-tajwīd. The study further demonstrates that the use of Javanese Pegon was not merely a linguistic adaptation but constituted a pedagogical strategy to make Qur’anic sciences accessible to Javanese Muslims with limited knowledge of Arabic. Sholeh Darat simultaneously emphasized scholarly competence, teacher–student transmission, continuous sanad, and ethical formation in Qur’anic learning. The article argues that al-Murshid al-Wajīz represents an important form of vernacular Qur’anic scholarship that localized established Islamic knowledge while preserving its connection to the broader classical scholarly tradition. It therefore contributes to the intellectual history of Islam in Nusantara by highlighting vernacularization as a significant mode of Qur’anic knowledge production and transmission.

Qur'anic and Prophetic Foundations of Critical Thinking: Toward an Islamic Epistemological Framework for Contemporary Education

Mohammad Yahya — 2026-09-11

Critical thinking is widely recognized as a core educational competence. Yet, its conceptualization in Islamic education remains predominantly informed by contemporary pedagogical and psychological approaches, with limited attention to its Qur'anic and Prophetic epistemological foundations. This study examines how the Qur'an and Prophetic tradition conceptualize critical thinking and how their intellectual and ethical principles inform an Islamic epistemological framework for contemporary education. Employing qualitative library research and thematic content analysis, the study analyzes selected Qur'anic verses, Prophetic traditions, and recent scholarship on critical thinking, Islamic education, and epistemology. The findings identify four interconnected dimensions of Islamic critical thinking: rational inquiry (ta'aqqul), reflective and contemplative thinking (tafakkur and tadabbur), critical verification (tabayyun), and ethical responsibility in the acquisition and application of knowledge. The Qur'an provides the primary epistemological orientation by encouraging reflection, rational judgment, examination of evidence, and verification. At the same time, the Prophetic tradition complements it through knowledge seeking, intellectual humility, honesty, responsible communication, and accountability. The study argues that critical thinking within Islamic epistemology is not value-neutral or limited to cognitive performance; rather, it integrates rational inquiry with moral and spiritual formation. Accordingly, the study proposes a framework in which revelation provides normative orientation, reason facilitates analytical interpretation, and ethical reflection guides the application of knowledge. This framework offers implications for inquiry-based, contextual, collaborative, and technology-enhanced Islamic education.
