Research paper thumbnail of Q. 4:34 and Disciplining a Wife Modern Indonesian Muslim Scholars' Interpretations of the Qur'An

Proceedings of the International Conference on Qur'an and Hadith Studies (ICQHS 2017), 2018

This verse can be divided into two parts: the first part deals with the qiwamah "guardianship" of males and the second part with the beating (darb) of the disobedient wives (nashiz). This last part is usually considered as the main cause of domestic violence or intimate partner violence in Muslim societies. (Ibrahim & Abdalla, 2010) Ayesha Chaudhry (Chaudhry, 2013) has comprehensively compared the classical and medieval interpretations of Q. 4:34, which, according to her, were influenced by the patriarchal and hierarchical worldview, with the modern responses. The latter then is divided into four responses: the traditionalists, the neo-traditionalists, the progressives, and the reformists. This paper focuses on the interpretations of Indonesian Muslim scholars to see whether they are supporting the hierarchical worldview or the egalitarian one; belonging to the traditionalist and neo-traditionalist interpretations or the progressive and the reformist responses.

Perbedaan ini disebabkan pada perbedaan sikap mereka terhadap sumber-sumber Muslim, yang bagi sebagian mereka bukanlah merupakan sumber historis, karena ditulis beberapa dekade setelah suatu peristiwa terjadi. Di samping itu, terdapat banyak kontradiksi dalam riwayat-riwayat yang menceritakan suatu peristiwa dalam sumber tersebut. Mengakui adanya masalah dalam sumber-sumber tersebut, sarjana Barat ada yang secara radikal menyangsikan kesejarahan sumber tersebut dan tidak mau menggunakannya dalam merekonstruksi sejarah Islam Awal, namun ada pula yang menerimanya as it is selama belum ada bukti historis yang membantah sumber yang ada. Tulisan ini mendiskusikan karya Mun’im Sirry yang berjudul Kontroversi Islam Awal, terutama terkait dengan kajian al-Qur’an dan tafsir.

This study uses a qualitative approach and data processing using descriptive-analytical methods. The results and discussion of this study indicate that there are several foundations of moderation in all religious teachings.

This study concludes that religious moderation is indispensable in implementation in today's digital era. An important effort in implementing religious moderation today is aimed at creating a generation that is moderate and not easily influenced by radical ideas propagated from cyberspace. This study recommends the millennial generation and educational institutions to foster a sense of religious moderation in the midst of the era of digital disruption.

Muslim higher educations in the United Kingdom have clearly reflected their awareness of the importance of interfaith and intrafaith understanding in many aspects, and thereby increase their capability to enhance the career prospects of their students while giving them a sense of piety and criticality at the same time. This research challenges some assumptions that Muslim education in a secular country is more driven by Muslims’ responses to the secular, modern world; and that Muslim education in a non-Muslim majority country is shaped more by majority-minority dynamics; and that Muslim education in the West is oriented more toward missionary objectives. On the other hand, this research strengthens the notion that M...

Generally, the reception of their works can be divided into two responses: positive and negative. Yet, this study focuses on negative responses. The findings indicate that the responses are theological and polemical. The main sources of this study are works - printed and online - written by the opponents of Western scholarship in Indonesia. These works are analyzed chronologically to see the reasons behind their rejection. This study shows that Indonesian Muslim scholars responded negatively to Western scholarship on Qur’ānic studies because Western scholars have a hidden agenda in their works.

The methodology used is descriptive-analytical qualitative to describe the response of the Acehnese Ulama using the hermeneutic, anthropological and literary approaches.

Second, in the aspect of fawātiḥ al-Suwar (hurf muqaṭṭa'ah) and the mutasyabihat verse, the scholars agreed with the translation approach used because it was in accordance with the studies of previous scholars with various existing literature.
