On Freud's Origin of Religion: A Kalam Jadid Perspective

Mohammad Kholid Muslih — 2025-05-11

Sigmund Freud was a figure who had a wide influence. He explained that religion originates from human thoughts. This article aims to further explain Freud's theory of the origin of religion and analyze it through the perspective of Kalam Jadid. This research is qualitative research with a literature study type. The data obtained are then analyzed interpretively, comparatively, and historically. Following the assessment process, it was discovered that the following points encapsulate Freud's idea of the genesis of religion. First, totemism is a sort of religion that dates to early tribes. Second, monotheism is one of the faiths that have evolved from earlier ones. Third, people invented religion to get over emotions of helplessness and terror when confronted with difficult life circumstances. Therefore, religion is a type of neurosis as well. According to Kalam Jadid, there are several flaws in Freud's thesis. There is no hard evidence to back up Freud's claim that totemism was the first religion. Freud's premise that God does not exist is also the foundation of his theory. It is implied that Freud disregarded the idea that revelation is a source of knowledge, and that people are inherently religious and have a spiritual side.

Dhabt al-Shahabiy: A Study on The Early and Contemporary Hadith Literature

Akhmad Zaeni — 2025-05-13

This article examines scholarly views on the precision (á¸abá¹) of the Prophet's Companions in narrating hadiths by comparing early and contemporary hadith literature. The aim of this research is to reveal whether the quality of precision is truly guaranteed in the Prophet's Companions as is their integrity ('adÄlah), and to explain various arguments related to this matter. This research also attempts to address criticisms questioning the validity of Companions' narrations on the grounds that they are not ma'á¹£Å«m (infallible); as ordinary humans with the potential for error and forgetfulness, and not all Companions having the same level of intelligence (á¸abá¹). This research is library-based with a qualitative method that conducts in-depth analysis of authoritative works in hadith literature, covering phases from early to contemporary. The research finds that Imam al-á¸¤Äfiáº“ Ibn á¸¤ajar al-'AsqalÄnÄ« is among the scholars who explicitly state that all Companions possess the quality of á¸abá¹, placing the status of Companions at the highest position in the levels of al-ta'dÄ«l (authentication). Meanwhile, the opinion initiated by Imam al-á¹¢an'ÄnÄ« and followed by several contemporary scholars states that the guarantee of Companions' integrity does not automatically guarantee their precision, with various arguments including the fact that some Companions had erred and forgotten when conveying hadiths. However, after conducting in-depth research on the texts of both opinions, the researcher concludes that the difference between the two groups of scholars is verbal in nature. The first group does not deny the possibility of forgetfulness and errors among the Companions, while the second group does not explicitly determine which individual Companions are considered to lack the quality of á¸abá¹. Both groups agree that errors that occurred among the Companions can still be tolerated and do not damage their overall precision.

Kafur and Champor in Islam, Malay, and Chinese History

Mohamad Herman bin Abdullah — 2025-05-11

Malay camphor (Dryobalanops aromatica) has played a significant role in the economy, Malay culture, and international trade since ancient times. It has been used in medicine, religious rituals, and diplomatic relations between major empires. Known as al-Kafur in the Quran and Hadith, it was also referred to as camphor by European traders. However, after the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century, Malay Camphor became increasingly marginalized when Chinese Camphor (Cinnamomum camphora, also known as Xiangzhang (æ¨Ÿæ ‘)) replaced it due to its lower cost. In 1903, the production of synthetic camphor, based on the chemical formula of Chinese Camphor (C10H16O), was patented as camphor, while the chemical formula of Malay Camphor (C10H18O) was designated as borneol, leading to confusion in scientific studies, Malay scholarship, and Islamic studies. This study examines the differences between Malay Camphor and Chinese Camphor and aims to determine which type is actually referenced in the Quran and Islamic history. A qualitative approach was employed, involving a literature review, analysis of Quranic and Hadith interpretations, and interviews with historians, botanists, and cultural practitioners in Barus. The findings indicate that Malay Camphor has a more fragrant aroma, a cooling effect, refreshing, free from harm, non-toxicity, and high quality. It is also edible and can be used as a flavoring agentâ€”aligning with the characteristics of al-Kafur in Islamic interpretation. However, trade monopolies and terminological errors have obscured its identity in modern history. This study confirms that al-Kafur in Islam refers to Malay Camphor and highlights the importance of correcting terminological errors to ensure that camphor is associated with Dryobalanops aromatica rather than Xiangzhang.

Ahmad Rofiq — 2025-05-11

This study examines the significant contributions of the Arab community to the socio-religious and cultural development of Palembang, a historically rich and diverse city in Indonesia. Originating from Hadramaut, Yemen, during the era of the Palembang Darussalam Sultanate in the 17th century, the Arab community played a pivotal role in the Islamization of the region and the enrichment of local identity through cultural and social values. Their integration with the local population resulted in profound acculturation, visible in religious traditions, such as Maulid Nabi and zikr practices, and the implementation of Islamic principles in governance and daily life. This research employs a qualitative methodology with a descriptive approach. It utilizes in-depth interviews with prominent figures and descendants of the Arab community and historical document analysis. The study focuses on historical areas like Kampung Arab Al-Munawwar and Ulu-Ilir, which are central to the Arab communityâ€™s legacy in Palembang. The findings highlight the establishment of Islamic educational institutions, such as madrasahs and pesantrens, by prominent Arab figures like Habib Alwi Bahsin. These institutions became pivotal in disseminating religious and general knowledge, fostering intellectual and social empowerment. The study underscores the integration of Islamic values into local culture, evident in acculturated traditions, culinary practices, and community activities. In conclusion, the Arab communityâ€™s contributions extend beyond religious propagation, encompassing education, social development, and cultural integration. Their legacy has profoundly shaped Palembangâ€™s identity, reinforcing its status as a vital center of Islamic civilization in the Nusantara.

Al-Baghdadi’s Usul al-Din: Analyzing Epistemological Themes

Ryandi Ryandi — 2025-05-11

Al-BaghdÄdÄ« holds a significant position within the early Ashâ€˜ari epistemological tradition. His work, Usul al-DÄ«n, offers a systematic explanation of the foundational principles of Sunni belief, integrating an epistemological framework that draws from both the Ashâ€˜ari intellectual tradition and the broader Islamic intellectual heritage. This study employs qualitative textual analysis of Usul al-DÄ«n, focusing primarily on how Al-BaghdÄdÄ« articulates various epistemological concepts. Several themes are explored within the text, including the definition, classification, and sources of knowledge. The analysis reveals that Al-BaghdÄdÄ« places knowledge as the foundational principle in his theological discussions. Through his structured and profound approach, Al-BaghdÄdÄ« views epistemology as an essential tool for resolving theological issues, providing a rational foundation for understanding Islamic faith. This focus on epistemology not only lays the groundwork for the further development of Ashâ€˜ari thought but also solidifies the position of Ilm al-Kalam as a rational and systematic discipline. By critically engaging with various foreign epistemologies, Al-BaghdÄdÄ« not only strengthens Islamic theological arguments but also expands the intellectual horizons of Islamic theology itself.

Prophetic Good Fathering: Understanding the Prophet Yaqub's Principles

Agin Mulya Syahputri — 2025-05-11

This research examines the concept of good fathering in the story of the Prophet Jacob and its contextualization in the concept of modern parenting. This type of research is library research by collecting verses from the Quran and related hadiths, so the method used is theÂ thematic (maudhu'i) method. The data was analyzed using qualitative content analysis in accordance with the procedures in the maudhu'i interpretation method, namely categorizing the collected data into sub-themes, then structuring and analyzing them. The results of this research are: First, the concept of good fathering contained in the story of the prophet Ya'qub is reflected in his role as a successful father in educating, caring for and accompanying his children who have diverse behavior, and successfully manage problems between siblings. The principles of good fathering that can be taken from the story of the Prophet Jacob are, the function of father as educator (QS 12: 17, 18, 83-87, 94-98), father as protector (QS 12: 4-5, 63-67), father as decision maker (QS 12: 67, 87), father as guardian of harmonious family relationships (QS 12: 17-18, 83-87, 94-98), and father as director of the family vision (QS 12: 38). Second, the concept of good fathering of the Prophet Jacob is very relevant to be contextualized in modern parenting. Prophet Jacob educated his children using a democratic-authoritative parenting model, which prioritizes dialogue with patience and affection. This type of parenting model is very relevant to be applied to raising children amidst the current liberal parenting model in the modern era today.

Against Fraud: How Religious-Based Values Accounting Work

Elex Sarmigi — 2025-05-11

Fraud is a widespread issue that can cause significant harm across various sectors, including government, business, and educational institutions. Several theories, such as the Fraud Triangle, Fraud Diamond, and Fraud Hexagon, have been developed to understand the factors that drive individuals to commit fraud. This research aims to analyze the role of religiosity values in minimizing fraudulent actions using a qualitative method and a literature study approach. Data were collected through an analysis of literature from journals, books, and previous research that examined the relationship between religiosity and fraudulent behavior. The findings indicate that religiosity plays a significant role in reducing individuals' intention and opportunity to commit fraud. Individuals with a good understanding of religion tend to have a stronger moral awareness, making it more difficult for them to rationalize fraudulent actions. Furthermore, religious values can help individuals manage pressure and suppress ego/arrogance, which are key elements in the Fraud Hexagon theory. Although religiosity serves as a deterrent to fraud, this study also finds that external factors such as opportunity and collusion continue to contribute to fraudulent behavior.

Aid or Influence? US Foreign Assistance to Indonesia in Islamic Point of View

Syafrina Machfud — 2025-05-11

Drawing on critiques from Islamic Political Economy (IPE) and Islamic International Relations (IIR), this study analyses the political, economic, and geopolitical implications of United States foreign aid to Indonesia through the lens of the Islamic worldview. Using a philosophical approach, the research interprets the spiritual and ethical dimensions of the Islamic worldview through foundational sources such as the Qur'an, Hadith, and classical Islamic scholarship. The findings reveal that US foreign aid has minimal impact on economic growth. Instead, it predominantly promotes Western-style liberalization, democratization, secularism, and strategic geopolitical objectives, particularly as a counterbalance to China's influence. This study highlights the misalignment between secular aid strategies and Islamic principles, advocating for policies grounded in the Islamic worldview. By integrating faith-based principles into the analysis of political economy and international relations, the research offers a comprehensive framework for understanding how Islamic ethics can shape governance, international relations, and economic behaviour. As a library-based exploratory study, the findings emphasize the need for further empirical validation through qualitative and quantitative methodologies. This research provides valuable insights into aligning Islamic ethical frameworks with contemporary political and economic practices.
