Child Marriage in the Quran and Its Implication toward Family Law in Indonesia

2025-12-19T11:59:07+00:00

The prevalence of child marriage in Indonesia remains high, placing the country rank seventh globally. Both cultural and customary practices considerably contribute to this persistence, despite the legal reform enacted through Law No. 16 of 2019, which provisioned the raise of minimum marriage age. At the same time, several Qur’anic verses are every so often interpreted as legitimizing child marriage, creating tension between religious interpretation and contemporary legal regulations. This article offers a novel contribution by linking the socio-historical context of Qur’anic verses recounted to child marriage with the trajectory of Indonesia’s legal reforms, from Law No. 1 of 1974 to Law No. 16 of 2019. Through a socio-historical approach, this study exhibits that the Qur’anic passages to underage marriage were responses to specific social conditions in the seventh-century Arabia rather than normative endorsements. This finding implies that Indonesian family law should likewise adopt a context-responsive framework that considers local cultural dynamics and global human development standards. Consequently, the article argues that aligning legal policy with the Qur’an’s ethical trajectory, particularly its emphasis on justice, maturity, and social welfare, provides a stronger foundation for regulating child marriage in contemporary Indonesia.

Pendekatan Politik dalam Ibadah Zakat: Peran Negara dalam Pengelolaan Zakat dari Perspektif Islam Klasik hingga Indonesia Kontemporer

2025-12-13T06:15:14+00:00

Zakat is one of the fundamental pillars of Islam that plays a vital role in shaping a just and prosperous society. Beyond its spiritual significance, zakat serves as a socio-economic mechanism aimed at eradicating poverty and reducing inequality. Historically, zakat has been systematically managed under state authority, beginning from the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the Khulafa al-Rashidun. This study explores zakat from a political approach by examining its relationship with Islamic governance and state policy. Using a descriptive-qualitative method and literature review, this paper analyzes classical and contemporary Islamic sources to understand how zakat functions within a political framework. The findings suggest that zakat is not only a personal religious obligation but also has the potential to serve as a public policy instrument when institutionalized by the state. A political approach to zakat highlights that Islam does not separate moral values from governance; instead, it offers a comprehensive system that integrates ethical wealth distribution with state responsibility. Therefore, linking zakat with political authority is crucial for realizing the objectives of Sharia in addressing modern socio-economic challenges. Through such integration, zakat can contribute significantly to the development of a more equitable, ethical, and welfare-oriented society.

2025-12-19T14:07:23+00:00

The professional certification program for amil zakat, initiated by the Ministry
of Religious Affairs in collaboration with the Professional Certification Body
(LSP) of BAZNAS RI, represents a strategic effort to strengthen Islamic
philanthropic da‘wah through enhanced professionalism and standardized competencies. This study examines how the certification program transforms the role of amils as agents of social da‘wah, and how collaboration between the state and professional institutions shapes a model for institutional strengthening within the zakat sector that affects the quality of public services. Employing a qualitative-descriptive approach and case studies conducted at three implementation sites (two in Jakarta and one in Semarang), this study finds that certification not only improves the technical capacity of amil in fundraising, management, and zakat reporting but also reinforces the public image of zakat institutions as accountable and modern entities. These findings affirm that competency standardization through amil zakat certification functions as an instrument of structural da‘wah, contributing to advancing national zakat governance and supporting the broader ecosystem of Islamic philanthropy in the development of Islamic civilization.

Waqf has a strategic role in supporting the socio-economic development of Muslims. However, waqf management is often colored by various problems, such as document manipulation, data inconsistencies, and abuse of trust by nadzir. This study analyzes manipulation cases in waqf management in Ciporos Village, Cilacap Regency, Central Java. With a qualitative approach and case study method, data is collected through in-depth interviews, document analysis, and literature studies. The results of the study showed that the nadzir committed violations, including creating waqf letters without muwaqif permission, changing the purpose of waqf, and administrative negligence. The impact of this deviation includes the loss of public trust, the failure to achieve the goals of waqf, as well as social and legal conflicts. This case reflects the weak supervision, education, and implementation of regulations related to waqf in Indonesia. This study recommends strengthening regulations, implementing strict supervision, education to muwakif, digitizing administration, and strict sanctions against violating nadzir. With this effort, it is hoped that waqf management can be more transparent, and accountable, and provide optimal benefits for the community

2025-12-13T06:20:13+00:00

Lifelong Learning is a necessity in modern society but is often dominated by the paradigm of formal Western education. This study offers a counter-narrative by analyzing Majelis Taklim Muslimat NU (specifically, the Association of Female Preachers and Majelis Taklim/HIDMAT) as an authentic and effective non-formal learning ecosystem. The central research question is: How does the synthesis between the principles of andragogy and NU's cultural-religious values shape an effective lifelong learning model within Majelis Taklim Muslimat NU? Using a descriptive analysis method with data sourced from documents, observations, and interviews with HIDMAT Muslimat NU Center officials, the study borrows from the framework of Malcolm Knowles' andragogy (learner-centered, self-directed, utilizing experience) and Islamic educational philosophy (such as Al-Attas' al-Ta'dib and KH. Hasyim Asy'ari's principle of al-muhāfazhatu ‘alā al-qadīmi al-sālih wa al-akhdzu bi al-jadīdi al-aslah—preserving good traditions while adopting better innovations). The results indicate that Majelis Taklim Muslimat NU has successfully established a Transformational Learning Community. This model is characterized by: (1) a Learner-Centered and Egalitarian Learning Ecosystem, where the adaptive curriculum responds to the practical needs of adult women (problem-centered learning). (2) A Contextual Approach integrating kitab kuning (traditional knowledge transmission) with contemporary issues (digital literacy, mental health, economics, law) through hybrid learning (physical and virtual). (3) Holistic Education that operationalizes the principles of al-Ta'dib and tazkiyat al-nafs, transforming members from private piety to public piety through economic empowerment programs and social advocacy. In conclusion, Majelis Taklim Muslimat NU successfully synthesizes modern andragogical principles with Ahlussunnah wal Jamaah values and local wisdom, creating an acculturated, sustainable, and transformative lifelong learning model. This institution not only enhances religious literacy but also strengthens women's social capital and agency, positioning it as a commendable model for non-formal Islamic education globally, aligning with SDG goals for quality education and gender equality.
