Abraham’s sacrifice in the Qur’an and the Bible : comparative hermeneutics of narrative, meaning, and textual authority
Azhari Andi; Moch. Taufiq Ridho (Faculty of Ushuluddin and Islamic Thought, UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta, 2026-01-31)
This study examines the long-standing theological and exegetical debate over the identity of the intended sacrificial son in the story of Abraham’s sacrifice—Isaac or Ishmael— and its implications for interreligious relations. The study departs from the observation that much of the existing scholarship on Q. 37:99-113 and Genesis 22 is shaped by polemical and identity-driven readings that privilege communal supremacy and scriptural integrity, while common ethical interpretations are often neglected. Methodologically, this article employs a comparative hermeneutic that juxtaposes classical and contemporary Qur’anic exegesis with Jewish and Christian interpretations of the Aqedah. By tracing the diachronic development of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian exegetical traditions, the study identifies both the points of contestation and the areas of convergence in reading Abraham’s sacrifice. The article argues that, despite enduring disagreements regarding whether Isaac or Ishmael was the intended sacrifice, the three traditions share at least two major theological and ethical commitments: Abraham’s unwavering faith and obedience to God, and a principled rejection of human sacrifice as incompatible with divine justice. These shared principles acquire renewed significance in the context of ongoing religiously motivated conflicts, where sacred narratives are frequently mobilized to legitimize violence. By foregrounding a harmonious and ethically oriented reading of Abraham’s sacrifice, this study contributes to Qur’anic studies, comparative scripture, and interfaith dialogue. It suggests that the narrative can serve as a theological resource for peacebuilding and interreligious solidarity, while future research may further explore its application in peace education and liturgical practices.
The sound of salvation : voice, gender, and the sufi mediascape in China (Guangtian Ha)
Mariati Aprilia Harahap (Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia Press, 2024-12-21)
The Sound of Salvation: Voice, Gender, and the Sufi Mediascape in China (Guangtian Ha). New York: Columbia University Press, 2022. Guangtian Ha completed 'The Sound of Salvation: Voice, Gender, and the Sufi Mediascape in China’ while undertaking his Ph.D. dissertation for Columbia University. As an anthropologist who conducted ethnographic research, he was mired in uncompleted fieldwork. When writing this book in 2021, he remarked that the COVID-19 global pandemic was in its second year, leading to the deaths of over half a million people in the United States and an unknown number in China, where the total number of deaths has been kept secret by the government. Even before the pandemic, the role of Islamic seminaries in Ningxia had been substantially reduced due to political pressure. But when the pandemic hit the region, most religious locations, such as mosques and Sufi graves, were ordered to close their doors to outside visitors. Even though much of his fieldwork was already completed in 2018, he lamented that much had changed in the intervening years, and so noted that the book had been written with a deep sense of loss.
Does artificial intelligence have an impact on monetary policy effectiveness in Indonesia?
Anisa Syahidah Mujahidah (Bank Indonesia, 2026-01-23)
The study empirically investigates the implications of AI Readiness, Broad Money, and political stability for monetary policy effectiveness, as measured by a composite index. The study uses robust fixed-effect panel data estimation techniques to analyse data from 19 OIC member countries between 2019 and 2023, with a focus on Indonesia. The results show that AI readiness and political stability have a substantial positive impact on monetary policy effectiveness in Indonesia, whereas Broad Money has a significant adverse impact. These findings offer relevant policy implications for AI transformation in the financial sector, particularly for effective monetary policy. These findings establish a relationship between the quest for high-quality institutions, defined by the readiness of AI implementation, political stability, and stable broad money. The study adds to a recent body of literature on the impact of AI and other variables on the efficiency of monetary policy.
Effectiveness of social media in waqf fundraising : a case study of residential land waqf
Dodik Siswantoro; Mariati Aprilia Harahap (Badan Wakaf Indonesia (BWI), 2025-12-05)
The objective of this paper is to assess the effectiveness of social media-based fundraising as advertisement for a land waqf fund within a residential complex. This study employs the qualitative data study using social media platforms Instagram, Facebook, Kitabisa.com, SEO, Tiktok, and YouTube collected between 2020 and 2025 to analyze reach, engagement, and donation conversion, complemented by archival fundraising records. The results indicate that social media advertising is not effective, as few people are interested in contributing waqf funds through this method. This may be attributed to the fact that the term "waqf fund for complex & quot; is not widely recognized, making it unsuitable for this type of advertisement.
Interfaith marriage between muslims and female ahlul-kitāb : MUI fatwa and preservation of the shāfiʿi madhab in Indonesia
Mariati Aprilia Harahap (Islamic Family Law Department, Sharia and Law Faculty, Universitas Islam Negeri Ar-Raniry, 2026-12-26)
The study investigates the rulings of Shāfiʿi’s madhab, which suggests a strict rule regarding the permissibility of interreligious marriage between a Muslim and a female ahl-kitāb, in contrast to other Imam madhabs that do not prohibit such marriages. However, Indonesians who embraced most of Shāfiʿi’s madhab forbade this marriage through an issued fatwa by the Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI). Despite extensive research on its arguments due to the historical roots of Shāfiʿi’s madhab ruling on connectivity, it is more concerned with the virtue and balance in society. This paper aims to analyze the prohibition of interfaith marriage between Muslims and female ahl-kitāb in Indonesia as a change in discourse that reinforces devotion to the Shāfiʿi madhab, which has historical roots connected to its rulings. This paper uses the qualitative method by comprehending classical Islamic law perspectives, the fatwa driven by the Indonesian Council of Ulama (MUI), and the historical trajectory of Imam Shāfiʿi schools in the early Indonesian era through textual analysis. The result found that the fiqh rulings “attracting benefits and preventing damage” held strongly by Majelis Ulama were not a clear affirmation of prohibiting marriage between Muslims and the female scriptures. Key findings indicate that the MUI released its prohibited fatwa on such marriage as a discourse-changing form to justify the continuation of the Shāfiʿi school of thought traditionally rooted in Indonesia to maintain the virtue and balance of work in society. Future research should consider the increased case of interfaith marriages between female Muslims and non-Muslim males due to its relevancy, according to Fiqh al-Wāqi.'
