    In the context of family law, the nasab of children outside of marriage has grown to be a complicated legal and social issue in many nations, including Indonesia. With a particular emphasis on the ruling of the Pengadilan Agama Talu Number 173/Pdt.P/2021/PA.Talu, this article examines the question of the nasab of children born outside of marriage within the context of a Religious Court ruling. In order to determine the nasab of children born outside of marriage, this article employs both national legal requirements and the principles of Islamic law. We also examine the Talu Religious Court’s ruling, which is the major point of interest. The analysis covers the legal factors, justifications, and ratio decidendi that the Religious Court used to reach its decision. It is critical to comprehend how the Religious Court developed legal principles, interpreted legal authorities, and considered the decision’s social ramifications. The piece also looks at how the Talu Religious Court’s ruling may affect family courts and society at large. The paper concludes by summarizing the consequences of the Talu Religious Court’s ruling regarding the determination of the nasab of unmarried children and illustrating how legal perspectives have evolved in this area. This article may offer legal professionals, academics, and the general public new perspectives on the problem of the nasab of children born outside of marriage and the function of Religious Courts in governing and adjudicating such matters. In order to safeguard children’s rights and preserve a harmony between religious norms and legal requirements in the country, more research in this field is required to determine the long-term effects of such rulings.

    » AL-IMAM: Journal on Islamic Studies, Civilization and Learning Societies

    Islamophobia has recently become more prevalent, both in the West and in Muslim nations. Social media contributes to the dissemination of anti-Islamic material. Religious moderation needs to find a way to moderate arising issues in society to avoid extremism, especially Islamophobia. This essay will look at ways to rejuvenate social media in an effort to combat Islamophobia. Using a qualitative methodology and analytical descriptive approaches, the core reasons for Islamophobia’s growth and the ability of social media to combat it are investigated. According to the study’s findings, Islamophobia is mostly caused by a misunderstanding of Islam and Muslim culture. Social media, when utilized wisely, has the ability to serve as a tool for public education about Islam, recovering its image as a religion of peace and salvation. The strategies that can be implemented include being moderate, critical, and responsive to Islamophobic content and educating about the wise use of social media. Active participation from all elements of society is needed to revitalize the role of social media in countering the negative impacts of Islamophobia and creating a better understanding in the middle of the community.

    » AL-IMAM: Journal on Islamic Studies, Civilization and Learning Societies

    COVID-19 as a pandemic was both disturbing and shocking. While people were so confused and lost direction on how to deal with it, they also panicked and tried every way to make themselves and their relatives safe. People develop procedures that require advanced equipment to support those high-cost and complex procedures. People prioritize cleanliness in order to maintain a safe environment. Elaborating tafseer Al-Maidah verse 6 can be a constructive alternative to maintaining cleanliness. The cleanliness standard procedure in Islam was simplified, but it maintained obedience’s deep meaning.

    Women’s Scholarship in Islam And Their Contribution To The Teaching Knowledge

    » AL-IMAM: Journal on Islamic Studies, Civilization and Learning Societies

    The scholarly world is a divine devotion. It needs time and effort to be consistent and persistent in improving the understanding of society. The more literate society, the more hope for a better environment. Today’s world needs more scholarly work not just to amaze the concept but also can impact society. Women’s roles in education are tremendous to take learning environment from an early age. The references about women scholars are so limited that we will assume there is the little impact made. This paper shows how women’s intellectual influence has made a massive contribution since the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) period. The shift in women’s roles is contextual and depends on the understanding of society and the development progress of the education ecosystem itself. We hope the tremendous past work can inspire us to build an advanced learning society to improve the education process today.

  • Moderate Way Implementing Rukyah and Hisab to Determine A New Moon in Ramadan

    Moderate Way Implementing Rukyah and Hisab to Determine A New Moon in Ramadan

    » AL-IMAM: Journal on Islamic Studies, Civilization and Learning Societies

    Rukyah and hisab have already become critical discussions in Islamic knowledge. Controversy arose, and the debate continues today. Some scholars prefer to use one method over another, while some scholars today try to offer moderate approaches for better solutions and understanding. Scholars claim both rukyah and hisab using the prophet Muhammad’s hadith references. In comparison, a modest society is accessible to apply rukyah as their way to determine the new Ramadhan, and some complex cultures are multicultural, multi sects, or have a wide coverage area. This complexity will affect the observation process’s difficulty, accuracy, and potential differences. This situation needs sensible solutions to determine the new Ramadhan. This paper tries to elaborate on each approach used by scholars and authorities, its preconditions, and how the approaches should be moderated to determine the new moon optimally by developing a strategy that gives mutual feedback to each method.

    » AL-IMAM: Journal on Islamic Studies, Civilization and Learning Societies

    Neo-modernism emerged when the term post-modernism began when the term began to become a common discourse when many experts began to get displeased with the negative effects that modernity, either from the aspect of sociocultural structure or scientific aspects. Neo-modernism, if traced to its existence, is in the thoughts of Fazlur Rahman (1970). While in Indonesia itself has Neo-modernism figures namely Nurcholish Madjid and Abdurrahman Wahid. As moralists and democrats, they have a complete, comprehensive, inclusive, and even free understanding of Islam. Therefore, their ideological and political actions often cause controversy. Even if they differ in practice, they have a paradigm of Islamic thought. Since Cak Nur put forward the jargon “Islam yes” and “Partai Islam no” in the 1970s, the integration of Islam and national opinion began to surface. Since then, the struggle for Islam through cultural channels has continued, and Muslims have also begun to participate in nation-building. In 1984, when NU under the leadership of Gus Dur approved Pancasila as the only precept, the relationship between Islam and the State grew stronger.
