The Phenomenological Approach in Islamic Studies

Eni Kusrini — 2025-07-30

Phenomenology in Islamic studies is an approach that emphasizes a deep understanding of human religious experience without being bound by specific theological, metaphysical, or philosophical frameworks. This approach focuses on how religious phenomena are present in individual consciousness, as well as how religious meaning is constructed through everyday life experiences. In the context of Islamic studies, phenomenology is used to understand religious behavior, religious institutions, and the social dynamics that accompany them in a neutral and descriptive manner. This article outlines the historical and philosophical foundations of phenomenology, beginning with Edmund Husserl as the central figure, and continuing with other figures such as Alfred Schutz, Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, Ernst Cassirer, John McTaggart, Wilhelm Dilthey, Jacques Derrida, and Soren Kierkegaard. Each contributed a unique perspective in developing phenomenology both as a philosophical approach and a methodology in the social sciences. Especially through Schutz, phenomenology became more applicable in social analysis, including in the study of religion. Religious phenomenology is positioned as an investigative approach to diverse religious facts, symbols, and experiences, transcending cultural and traditional boundaries. Despite facing criticism, such as from the Sophists who reject claims of universal truth, this approach offers a reflective space to engage in dialogue about faith, reason, and social context in a more open manner. Therefore, phenomenology can serve as a middle ground between philosophical and theological approaches, and open possibilities for integration with other disciplines such as psychology, anthropology, and sociology, in understanding religion as a complex human phenomenon

Purification and Renewal of Islam

Srijudin Srijudin — 2025-07-30

This article aims to focus this research on the purification and renewal of Muhammadiyah, specifically in the field of muamalah in the Islamic world. The type of research used in this study is qualitative research, which is a method useful for obtaining scientific knowledge from a particular document or other literature presented by previous and current scientists through literature study. Islamic renewal has been underway for a long time. Over the past few centuries, we have seen the role of various Muslim figures in developing and packaging Islam in various forms. At its core, it is a unified effort to spread and preach Islam throughout the world. The emergence of the renewal movement was inspired by the need for change in various aspects of life. In the religious aspect itself, it is hoped that the Islamic renewal movement can help people understand Islam again in accordance with the Qur'an and Sunnah. Avoiding all innovations, superstitions, myths, and superstitions that are deeply rooted in traditionalist communities. These communities are greatly influenced by local traditional culture and customs. Additionally, it is hoped that this movement can combat and correct anything that contradicts the teachings of Islamic sharia. The results of the study indicate that problems in the field of muamalah can be resolved in accordance with the Qur'an, Surah an-Nisa (4): 29, which prohibits reducing the weight of scales and can be resolved by being fair and honest. And Surah al-Baqarah (2): 282, which contains a command to practice kindness and honesty, can resolve issues related to debt and credit

Early Detection in Children's Social-Emotional Development

Anies Husnul. K.S — 2025-07-30

This study discusses the importance of detecting early childhood development. Early childhood social-emotional development is an important foundation in shaping personality, interaction skills, and readiness for future social life. Children with good social-emotional development will be better able to express their feelings, understand the feelings of others, and adapt to their social environment. The roles of family, educators, and the environment are crucial in supporting this development. This is an important step in quickly identifying any developmental deviations in children. Principles such as multidisciplinary involvement, consistency, and the use of appropriate assessment tools are essential components of this effort. Through early detection and intervention, children's potential can be optimized, and more complex developmental issues can be prevented. Early childhood development is a golden period in human life, marked by rapid growth across various aspects, including physical, motor, cognitive, language, social, and emotional development. This period is often referred to as the “golden age” because every stimulation a child receives during early childhood has a long-term impact on the quality of their life in the future. Therefore, attention to early childhood development from an early age is crucial to ensure optimal development in line with age-appropriate stages

Identifying Child Growth and Development Ages 0-1 Year

Aryuni Hidiyatati — 2025-07-30

Monitoring the growth and development of children aged 0-1 years is very important for monitoring their health and development. Here are some important points. First, Growth and Development Monitoring, where parents and caregivers need to monitor the growth and development of children regularly to detect potential health or developmental problems. Second, Growth and Development Indicators. Some indicators that need to be monitored include weight, height, head circumference, motor skills, and cognitive abilities. Third, Signs of Issues: If a child does not reach certain developmental milestones, such as being unable to lift their head or respond to sounds, further evaluation is necessary. Fourth, the Role of Parents: Parents play a crucial role in monitoring their child's growth and development and intervening early if needed. By detecting issues early, we can help children reach their full potential and prevent future health or developmental problems. The urgency of early identification of infant development in the first year of life is increasingly important, given that this period is also vulnerable to the effects of family stress, domestic violence, poverty, and unresponsive caregiving. Warm and consistent interaction between infants and their primary caregivers is the foundation for healthy brain development. When these risk factors are not identified early on, infants are at risk of developmental disorders that can have long-term impacts on academic achievement, mental health, and quality of life in adulthood. Therefore, systematic efforts are needed to identify children's growth and development from an early age to ensure timely, appropriate, and targeted interventions

Understanding the Prophet's Hadith from a Social Psychology Perspective: Hadiths on Jihad

Ridwan Maulana Safii — 2025-07-30

The study of hadith texts cannot stand alone, but must involve other disciplines, because social and religious problems are becoming increasingly complex, often involving not only theological-normative issues, but also social-practical and even political issues. Islamic teachings derived from the Qur'an and hadith need to engage in dialogue with cultural realities and developments of the times. Here, the paradigm of interdisciplinary connection becomes an inevitability, so that the analysis and conclusions drawn from hadith texts can be more dialectical and communicative in addressing the evolving social-religious issues faced by Muslim communities today. The interpretation of jihad is not solely synonymous with violence, war, or other terrifying things, but rather jihad is understood by the Prophet himself as being directed at his companions, according to their abilities. It is impossible for the Prophet (peace be upon him) to speak in a historical vacuum; any idea or concept, including the Prophet's sayings, is always based on historical problems, namely those related to the historical and cultural issues of that time. Through multidisciplinary approaches, it is hoped that a relatively more accurate, appreciative, and accommodative understanding of hadith can be achieved, one that is responsive to the changes and developments of the times. Therefore, in understanding a hadith, we should not only focus on the literal meaning of the text, but also consider the socio-cultural context of its time. Historically speaking, the contextual understanding of hadith that has developed through modern approaches such as historical, sociological, anthropological, geographical, and others began around the 1980s. Therefore, in addition to the social psychological approach, there are many other approaches that can be used to understand hadith.
