Quranic Tadabbur on Gus Baha's Sermons in the Santri Gayeng YouTube Channel: Critical Discourse Analysis
Quranic tadabbur is the practice of deeply reflecting on the meanings and messages of the Qur’an in order to understand and apply its guidance in daily life, as encouraged by Allah in Surah Muhammad (47:24), which calls believers to contemplate the verses of the Qur’an. In the context of Indonesia, the tadabbur became the content of sermons. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the construction of tolerance discourse in the sermons of Gus Baha delivered through the Santri Gayeng YouTube channel, employing Norman Fairclough's model of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). The research is grounded in the urgency of promoting inclusive religious narratives within Indonesia's pluralistic society and the growing influence of digital Islamic preaching. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing transcription, participatory observation, and content analysis of sermon videos that focused on the theme of tolerance. The findings reveal that Gus Baha constructs tolerance discourse through narrative linguistic strategies, the use of local language, and a grounded and reflective rhetorical approach. His sermons transcend conveying theological doctrine by fostering a collective awareness of the importance of peaceful coexistence in diversity. The finding of this research lies in its exposition of how Gus Baha's digital sermons serve not only as a medium of religious transmission but also as a discursive arena that shapes moderate, peaceful, and context-sensitive Islamic perspectives. The implications indicate the substantial potential of digital da'wah rooted in local wisdom to strengthen religious tolerance and moderation amid the increasing complexity of the digital public sphere

Analisis Dalil Al-Quran dan Hadith bagi Hukum Budaya Makanan Laut Suku Kaum Bajau Ubian
Malay: Dalam al-Quran, konsep halal dan haram merupakan prinsip asas syariah yang bertujuan menjaga maslahat manusia serta memelihara agama, nyawa, akal, keturunan dan harta; Allāh SWT dengan jelas menghalalkan perkara yang baik (ṭayyibāt) dan mengharamkan perkara yang buruk (khabā’ith). Masyarakat Bajau memang terkenal dengan karakteristik Bajau di samping lain-lain keunikan budaya yang membentuk identiti khas iaitu makanan laut yang unik. Salah satu aspek penting adalah mengenai pemakanan orang Bajau yang memasak dan memakan sesetengah ikan bersama najisnya, sotong bersama dakwatnya serta ketam yang hidup dua alam. Kajian ini merupakan kajian kualitatif kaedah kepustakaan berdasarkan ayat al-Quran, hadith dan pandangan ulama dalam perbahasan fiqh. Kaedah pemerhatian ikut serta dan beberapa temubual juga dijalankan bersama beberapa pengamal adat resam Bajau Ubian untuk memastikan objek kajian yang tepat. Melalui pendekatan induktif dan deduktif, kajian ini menganalisis ayat al-Quran, hadith dan pandangan ulama dengan lebih jelas sudut pandang hukum Islam terhadap ketiga-tiga isu tersebut. Hasil kajian ini mendapati pemakanan orang Bajau khasnya Bajau Ubian dibolehkan berdasarkan keluasan pandangan fiqh muktabar. Hal ini sekaligus memberi jawapan kepada permasalahan mengenainya serta membuktikan bahawa syariah Islam tidak menghapuskan identiti dan budaya sesebuah bangsa atau kaum, namun meraikannya sesuai dengan garis panduan hukum Islam. English: In the Holy Quran, the concept of halal and haram is a principle of syari’ah which aims to safeguard human benefits and preserve the fundamental objectives; faith, life, intellect, lineage and wealth. Allah SWT clearly permits good things (ṭayyibāt) and forbids bad things (khabā'ith). The Bajau societies are surely famous for their characteristics, besides other cultural uniqueness that form a distinctive identity, namely uniques seafoods. One of the important aspects is about the food of the Bajau society who cook and eat some fish with their excrement, cuttlefish, squid and octopus with their ink and crabs which live in two worlds; land and sea. This study is a qualitative study, literature methods based on verses from the Holy Quran, hadīth and the opinions of fiqh scholars. A method of observation was involved and several interviews were also carried out with several Bajau Ubian cultural practitioners to make sure the appropriate object of this study. Based on an inductive and deductive approach, this study analyzes verses from the Holy Quran, hadīth Nabawī and the opinions of ulama according to these three issues. The results of this study conclude that the Bajau seafood, specifically Bajau Ubian, is permissible based on the broad perspective of muktabar fiqh. This also provides answers to problems regarding it and proves that Islamic syarī’ah does not nullify the identity and culture of a nation or people. In fact Islam is tolerant in accordance with the guidelines of Islamic law.

Cabaran Hafazan Al-Quran Menggunakan Kaedah Tarannum dalam Kalangan Pelajar Tahfiz
Malay: Kajian ini meneliti cabaran yang dihadapi oleh pelajar tahfiz dalam proses menghafaz al-Quran menggunakan tarannum. Tumpuan diberikan kepada faktor kognitif, emosi dan teknikal yang mempengaruhi keberkesanan hafazan dalam konteks sistem pendidikan tahfiz yang juga memberi penekanan kepada aliran akademik. Objektif kajian adalah mengenal pasti cabaran utama yang dihadapi pelajar, menilai peranan tarannum dalam membantu hafazan, serta mencadangkan strategi penambahbaikan untuk hafazan. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui analisis dokumen dan temu bual separa berstruktur bersama dua narasumber pelajar tahfiz. Data dianalisis secara tematik berlandaskan Teori Beban Kognitif dan Teori Penentuan Kendiri. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan pelajar berdepan cabaran utama seperti kekangan masa, gangguan fokus, motivasi yang rendah serta keperluan latihan tambahan dalam penguasaan tarannum. Walaupun tarannum berfungsi sebagai alat bantu ingatan dan meningkatkan minat, namun ia juga menambah beban kognitif kerana pelajar perlu menguasai teknik suara, pernafasan dan irama di samping mengekalkan ketepatan bacaan. Selain itu, faktor dalaman; motivasi, konsistensi, dan emosi, serta faktor luaran; jadual akademik, pengaruh teknologi, suasana persekitaran adalah saling mempengaruhi keberkesanan hafazan. Kesimpulan kajian menunjukkan institusi tahfiz perlu menyediakan modul latihan tarannum berstruktur, sokongan psikologi, strategi pengurusan masa, serta integrasi tadabbur bagi memperkukuhkan keberkesanan hafazan. Kajian ini juga mengisi jurang literatur dengan menekankan peranan tarannum sebagai faktor tambahan yang mempengaruhi hafazan al-Quran, sekali gus membuka ruang untuk kajian masa depan mengenai integrasi tarannum dengan teknologi pembelajaran moden. English: This study examines the challenges faced by tahfiz students in the process of memorizing the Quran using tarannum. Focus is given to cognitive, emotional, and technical factors that influence the effectiveness of memorization in the context of the tahfiz education system, which also emphasizes academic streams. The objectives of the study are to identify the main challenges faced by students, assess the role of tarannum in aiding memorization, and suggest improvement strategies for memorization. This study uses a qualitative approach thru document analysis and semi-structured interviews with two tahfiz student informants. Data were analyzed thematically based on Cognitive Load Theory and Self-Determination Theory. The study findings indicate that students face major challenges such as time constraints, lack of focus, low motivation, and the need for additional training in mastering tarannum. Although tarannum serves as a memory aid and increases interest, it also adds cognitive load because students need to master vocal techniques, breathing, and rhythm in addition to maintaining reading accuracy. Additionally, internal factors such as motivation, consistency, and emotion, as well as external factors like academic schedule, technological influence, and environmental atmosphere, all interact to affect the effectiveness of memorization. The study's conclusion indicates that tahfiz institutions need to provide structured tarannum training modules, psychological support, time management strategies, and tadabbur integration to enhance the effectiveness of memorization. This study also fills a gap in the literature by emphasizing the role of tarannum as an additional factor influencing Quran memorization, thereby opening avenues for future research on integrating tarannum with modern learning technologies.

The Classification of The Quranic Suras - Part One: Structural Analysis and Organization into Groups Generated by Sura Al-Fātiḥah
This study aims to assess, using a rigorous scientific approach, whether the current ordering of the Quranic suras results from an intentional and predetermined organization or from a random arrangement. The methodology is based on discovery of a fundamental mathematical property, Equation 1 , which establishes a unique functional relationship between the sum of the sura numbers (N), the total number of verses (V), and the sum of the verse numbers (SV) of the Noble Quran. The analysis used the sign of the ranking value D(a), derived from Equation (1), as a criterion to distribute the surahs into major structural groups (TA, TB, BZ), thereby revealing a coherent underlying architecture. This research has brought to light remarkable structural properties governing these groups and their subdivisions (BZ₁, BZ₂, IZ₁, IZ₂), including a series of equilibrium equations such as and . The study further demonstrates the central functional role of specific suras, such as Sura Al-Fātiḥah, acting as a regulatory pivot. The mathematically verifiable, interdependent complexity and coherence of this architecture constitute strong evidence of a non-random design. A complementary part of this research, dedicated to the analysis of other partitions, will further consolidate this model. The ultimate objective is to demonstrate that the Quran adheres to a coherent and sophisticated internal mathematical organization, thereby confirming the validity and relevance of its current canonical order.

Implikasinya, nilai syukur wajar dijadikan elemen teras dalam intervensi kerohanian dan pembangunan jati diri, khususnya dalam kalangan generasi muda yang terdedah kepada krisis makna hidup dan tekanan jiwa. English: The tendency toward despair has become increasingly concerning within society, particularly among the younger generation who face various life pressures. This phenomenon calls for a more holistic and spiritually grounded approach to addressing the fragility of the human psyche. This study focuses on the role of gratitude (shukr) as a crucial element in overcoming feelings of despair, based on the tazkiyatun nafs (purification of the soul) approach in the Qur’an. The main objectives of this study are to explain the concept of gratitude from an Islamic perspective, to identify the relationship between gratitude and psychological resilience, and to propose strategies for cultivating gratitude in individual life. A qualitative approach is employed through content analysis of selected Qur’anic verses, supported by a review of relevant literature on positive psychology and spiritual values. The findings reveal that gratitude not only strengthens one’s relationship with the Creator but also transforms one’s perspective on life’s trials and fosters inner tranquility. The implications suggest that gratitude should be integrated as a core element in spiritual interventions and character development programs, particularly among the younger generation who are vulnerable to existential crises and psychological distress.
Kajian Hak Kanak-Kanak Sebelum Kelahiran Melalui Perspektif Sunnah: Suatu Analisis Awal
Malay: Perkembangan hak kanak-kanak sebelum kelahiran mendapat perhatian dalam wacana akademik kontemporari seiring dengan perkembangan teknologi moden dan kesedaran tentang kepentingan penjagaan antenatal. Perspektif Islam khususnya berasaskan Sunnah Nabi SAW menawarkan pandangan yang komprehensif tentang hak-hak yang perlu dilindungi sebelum kelahiran seorang anak. Walau bagaimanapun, tiada pemetaan sistematik yang dilakukan terhadap kajian-kajian akademik dalam bidang ini. Oleh itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenalpasti kajian dan tema penyelidikan berkaitan hak kanak-kanak sebelum kelahiran yang ditinjau melalui perspektif Sunnah Nabi SAW. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan analisis kandungan tematik terhadap literatur akademik. Data dikumpulkan melalui carian dalam pangkalan data utama di internet menggunakan kata kunci yang berkaitan dengan hak antenatal dan Sunnah Nabi. Analisis tematik diaplikasikan untuk mengenal pasti penulisan, tema-tema dan jurang pengetahuan dalam bidang ini. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa kajian penyelidikan hak kanak-kanak sebelum kelahiran melalui perspektif Sunnah tertumpu pada lima tema utama: [pertama] hak pemilihan pasangan, [kedua] hak perancangan keluarga, [ketiga] hak ontologikal janin untuk diiktiraf sebagai entiti bermoral, [keempat] hak perlindungan janin, dan [kelima] hak janin dalam perundangan Islam. Kajian mendapati bahawa walaupun terdapat peningkatan minat terhadap bidang ini dalam dekad terakhir, masih wujud jurang signifikan dalam kajian empirikal dan pendekatan interdisiplin yang mengintegrasikan Sunnah Nabi dengan sains perubatan moden. Kesimpulannya, kajian hak kanak-kanak sebelum kelahiran melalui perspektif Sunnah masih memerlukan pengembangan lanjut terutamanya dalam aspek metodologi yang lebih inovatif dan dialog pelbagai disiplin antara ulama hadith dan pakar perubatan bagi membentuk kerangka bioetika Islam yang komprehensif dalam konteks cabaran kontemporari. English: The development of children's rights before birth has gained attention in contemporary academic discourse, in line with advancements in modern technology and growing awareness of the importance of antenatal care. The Islamic perspective, particularly based on the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), offers a comprehensive view of the rights that should be protected prior to a child's birth. However, there has been no systematic mapping of academic studies in this area. Therefore, this study aims to identify research and thematic trends related to children's rights before birth as viewed through the lens of the Prophet’s Sunnah. This study adopts a qualitative approach using thematic content analysis of academic literature. Data were collected through searches in major online databases using keywords related to antenatal rights and the Prophet’s Sunnah. Thematic analysis was applied to identify writings, themes, and knowledge gaps in this field. The findings reveal that research on children's rights before birth from the Sunnah perspective centers around five main themes: [1] the right to partner selection, [2] the right to family planning, [3] the ontological right of the fetus to be recognized as a moral entity, [4] the right to fetal protection, and [5] the rights of the fetus in Islamic legislation. The study finds that although interest in this field has increased over the past decade, significant gaps remain in empirical research and interdisciplinary approaches that integrate the Prophet’s Sunnah with modern medical science. In conclusion, research on children's rights before birth from the Sunnah perspective still requires further development, particularly in terms of more innovative methodologies and interdisciplinary dialogue between Hadith scholars and medical experts to form a comprehensive Islamic bioethical framework in the context of contemporary challenges.
Analisis Hujah Al-Quran dan Hadis Berkaitan Orang Mati Boleh Mendengar Kata-kata Orang Hidup
Malay: Perdebatan mengenai sama ada orang mati boleh mendengar kata-kata orang hidup merupakan isu klasik dalam khazanah keilmuan Islam yang terus relevan dalam konteks masyarakat Muslim kontemporari di Malaysia, khususnya apabila ia dikaitkan dengan amalan keagamaan yang berpotensi menyimpang daripada prinsip tauhid, seperti pemujaan kubur dan permohonan kepada selain Allah SWT. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis secara kritikal pandangan para ulama berkaitan isu pendengaran orang mati, serta menilai kekuatan hujah setiap pandangan melalui pendekatan tarjih berasaskan dalil al-Quran, hadis, dan kaedah istidlal yang muktabar. Kajian ini menggunakan metodologi kualitatif melalui analisis dokumen dan analisis kandungan terhadap ayat al-Quran dan hadis dalam disiplin akidah dan tafsir. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa pandangan ulama terbahagi kepada dua aliran utama, iaitu golongan yang menetapkan kemampuan orang mati untuk mendengar dalam keadaan tertentu berdasarkan nas-nas khusus, dan golongan yang menafikan kemampuan tersebut secara umum berasaskan dalil-dalil yang menegaskan hasil hubungan antara alam hidup dan alam barzakh. Analisis kajian mendapati bahawa perbezaan ini berpunca daripada pendekatan kaedah yang berbeza dalam memahami teks wahyu, khususnya antara kitab-kitab tafsir. Kajian ini menyumbang kepada wacana akidah di Malaysia dengan analisa pandangan ulama’ berdasarkan al-Quran dan hadis, sekali gus membantu memperjelas batasan akidah yang sahih dalam menangani amalan keagamaan masyarakat. English: The debate on whether the dead can hear the words of the living is a classic issue in Islamic scholarship that continues to be relevant in the context of contemporary Muslim society in Malaysia, especially when it is associated with religious practices that potentially deviate from the principle of monotheism, such as grave worship and supplication to others than Allah SWT. This study aims to critically analyse the views of scholars on the issue of hearing the dead, as well as evaluate the strength of the arguments of each view through a tarjih approach based on evidence from the Quran, hadith, and the method of istidlal that is muktabar. This study employs a qualitative methodology, utilising document analysis and content analysis of verses from the Quran and hadith in the disciplines of aqidah and tafsir. The study findings reveal that scholars' views are divided into two main schools: those who establish the ability of the dead to hear under certain circumstances, based on specific texts, and those who deny such ability in general, based on evidence that asserts the relationship between the living world and the barzakh world. The study analysis found that this difference stems from different methodological approaches in understanding the text of revelation, especially between the books of tafsir. This study contributes to the discourse on faith in Malaysia by analysing the views of scholars based on the Quran and hadith, thus helping to clarify the boundaries of valid faith in dealing with the religious practices of society.

Comprehensive Demonstration of Greater Significance of Infaq fi Sabilillah
“Infaq fi Sabilillah: spending in the way of Allah (SWT)," other than Zakat, is usually considered a voluntary act of good deed in Islam. Also, there is a common understanding among Muslims that this spending is just an optional act of worship and is less important in terms of significance and status than mandatory acts of worship. However, the statements of Allah (SWT), the sayings of the Prophet (PBUH), and the opinions of scholars highlight the high importance of “spending in the way of Allah (SWT).” This research aims to demonstrate the greater significance of “Infaq fi Sabilillah” as an act of good deed in Islam. Many Qur’anic verses and Hadiths of the Prophet (PBUH) assert the great importance and status of spending in the way of Allah (SWT), even above those of some mandatory acts of worship. Also, according to the opinions of some scholars, there are occasions when spending, in addition to Zakat, becomes obligatory and necessary. The rewards of this spending and the consequence of not spending in the way of Allah (SWT) are also stated in some Qur’anic verses. Allah (SWT) has referred a believer in Al-Qur’an by various distinct qualities & names having some specific attributes. The activities of “Infaq fi Sabilillah” are the most mentioned attribute of a believer mentioned in those distinct qualities & names. Some relevant Qur’anic verses, the Hadiths of the Prophet (PBUH), and the opinions of scholars have been identified and presented in this paper. This paper demonstrates that “Infaq fi Sabilillah” is an act of greater significance in Islam.

The Quranic Hermeneutics: Unity in Text, Diversity in Interpretation
The Quran, revealed in Arabic, stands as the foundational religious scripture and the principal source of guidance for all of humanity, particularly for Muslims across the globe. Its language embodies both classical eloquence and colloquial resonance. As the primary medium of religious and intellectual discourse, Arabic exerted a far-reaching influence, prompting individuals worldwide to engage with divine revelation. Many were driven to understand the Quran's deeper meanings and the context of its revelation through learning its original language. However, for the vast majority across different regions and linguistic backgrounds, mastering Arabic was not feasible. This gave rise to a pressing need to translate the Quran into various native languages, aiming to make its message comprehensible to broader audiences. In numerous instances, translations and interpretations were manipulated to align with specific agendas, leading to distortions, misinterpretations, and widespread skepticism. Therefore, a critical exploration of Quranic translation is essential, not only to understand its historical and linguistic challenges but also to identify effective strategies for preserving the integrity of the message.

Kaedah perawatan nabawi perlu diambil perhatian oleh masyarakat Islam dan isu yang timbul berkaitan perawatan di Malaysia perlu ditangani dengan penuh hikmah.
Surah Al-Kahf and The Core of Relativity: How the Quran Foretold Spacetime Curvature, Gravity Wells and Wormholes
This research investigates the advanced scientific concepts of space-time curvature, wormholes, and time dilation as fundamental natural principles described in the Quran centuries before their modern discovery. Surah Al-Kahf is particularly significant in this context, as it directly addresses wormholes, space-time curvature, and gravitational effects. To fully comprehend this, firstly we must understand what “Al-Kahf” truly represents in the Quran. This study explores the scientific properties of Al-Kahf and its relation to relativity, gravitational lensing, and space-time warping. While modern science views Spacetime Curvature, wormholes and time dilation, as extraordinary phenomena, The Quran presents them as fundamental aspects of the universe, and are also utilized in divine operations. These principles are not isolated mentions but are woven throughout the Quran, highlighting the Quran’s deep engagement with the fabric of space-time. By integrating Quranic insights with General Relativity and modern astrophysics, this paper challenges conventional narratives of scientific history, advocating for a reassessment of the Quran’s contributions to humanity’s understanding of space-time and relativity. This interdisciplinary approach highlights that the Quran contains detailed direct descriptions of these cosmic phenomenon that align with cutting-edge physics, reinforcing the need for a historical reevaluation of scientific knowledge.

Reconciling Faith and Reason: Al-Bouti’s Defence of Roger Garaudy in the Context of Apostasy and Islamic Jurisprudence
This paper is, in a way, an assessment of an apologia of the offence of hadd written by Muhammad Said Ramadan al-Bouti (1929-2013) to defend Roger Garaudy (1913-2012) against the accusation of apostasy. It analyses the evidence presented by al-Bouti to support his arguments for exonerating Garaudy. Al-Bouti was a prominent Syrian scholar and one of the most influential Islamic jurists in the contemporary Arab world, and a Shafi’i jurist who believed in applying independent reasoning in his interpretation of rulings. In his efforts to preserve the Sufi concept of ‘interior form’ and ‘exterior behaviour’, al-Bouti combines the spirituality of Sufism with traditional legal rulings of fiqh to derive the power of a believer’s conformity with the Sharia. It was this hypothesis of reconciling Islamic mysticism with fiqh that helped his work to gain currency in the Islamic world. Roger Garaudy (1913-2012), on the other hand, was a French Marxist philosopher who converted to Islam in 1982/83, at the age of 70. His conversion to Islam was perceived in the West as indicating “the superiority of Islam over the West”. For this reason, the attack of Western scholars on him was interpreted as part of the West’s attack on Islam. However, Garaudy faced widespread criticism in the Muslim world after publishing his book Islam, to the extent that Muslim authors began to question the orthodoxy of his beliefs. The strongest assault came from the Saudi journal al-Mujallah in 1996, after Garaudy was interviewed by its correspondent in Paris. The article claims that Garaudy’s conversion to Islam was more or less superficial. This paper introduces brief details of al-Bouti’s life and his intellectual impact. Similarly, it highlights the Garaudy affair, his impact in the Muslim world, and the historical origin of the kufr accusation. Finally, it explores the main argument of al-Bouti in his defense case, making particular reference to the al-Mujallah article.

Isra’ and Mi‘raj from Modern Perspective: An Analytical Study of Fazlur Rahman's views
This paper examines the concept of Isra’ and Mi‘raj from a modern perspective, giving special reference to Fazlur Rahman, a modernist and a controversial figure in Western academia. According to Islamic orthodoxy, Isra’ and Mi‘raj refer to two segments of the Prophet Muhammad's miraculous night journey from Mecca to Jerusalem and his subsequent ascension to heaven. The historicity of the journey, as well as its authenticity, however, has continued to be debatable. While a majority of Muslim scholars consider the journey real and physical, Rahman argues that it is just a dream or vision, contending that a physical ascension to heaven is by no means possible. Furthermore, he denies the possibility of seeing angels physically condemning all traditions related to that as fictions. Indeed, this theory has generated criticism within academia and beyond. This paper critically analyses Rahman's views in the light of the authentic traditions, demonstrating that the journey is real and physical. Similarly, it establishes that Prophet Muhammad's Ascension is not a concocted narration as Rahman claims, but an authentic historical fact which constitutes an integral part of the Prophet’s message.
Analyzing Moisture Content and Water Activity of Freeze-Dried Beef Rendang Across Different Coconut Milk Percentages
Beef rendang, a traditional prolonged cooking dish from Malaysia and Indonesia, reflects the Quranic principles of preservation and nourishment, emphasizing the consumption of pure, lawful, and wholesome food (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:172). Its preparation, combining meat protein, coconut milk, and spices, symbolizes the bounty and sustenance provided by Allah. While the dish is known for its rich flavors and extended shelf life, prolonged cooking can lead to moisture loss and alterations in water activity (aw), both crucial for maintaining food safety and quality. This study examines the impact of varying coconut milk concentrations on the moisture content and water activity of freeze-dried beef rendang. Samples were prepared with coconut milk concentrations of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, and 125%, cooked for durations ranging from 0 to 4 hours at 120°C, and subjected to freeze-drying. Moisture content analysis revealed reductions ranging from 2% to 10%, demonstrating effective moisture removal across samples. However, water activity analysis indicated significant differences in the availability of free water, likely influenced by coconut milk’s fat and water-binding properties. These findings highlight how coconut milk affects initial moisture levels, while freeze-drying stabilizes the final moisture content. The nuanced understanding of water activity reflects the balance in preservation processes, resonating with the Quranic call for equilibrium and purity in food preparation (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:168). This study emphasizes optimizing cooking methods to preserve the quality and safety of beef rendang while aligning with Islamic values of sustainability and stewardship.

Proof of the Authenticity of the Holy Quran: Discovering the Precise Mathematical Arrangement in the Sura Fussilat
In this article, the numerical structure of the Holy Quran has been studied based on two main sources of the suras, namely the suras numbers and the number of verses. The objective of this study is to prove the authenticity of the Holy Quran using a unique scientific methodology, which will show, through mathematical relations and a system of equations, that the book has been correctly preserved. Firstly, the suras were divided into four groups or tables according to their even and odd numbers, which leads to discover two important properties among the Quranic parameters: the concordance relation and rule 1. The application of the proposed scientific methodology led to the discovery of of a hidden element of concordance, which is sura Fussilat, whose integration into its own Ha-Mim family allowed the discovery of other secondary concordance relations. At the same time, it reveals other important rules that will play an essential role in formulating the system of mathematical equations. Given the diversity of roles played by this sura, we consider it as a key programmed by the author of the book to achieve this amazing mathematical arrangement. The resolution of this system will prove that the total number of suras and the total number of verses have not undergone any change. Therefore, the obtained results confirm that the structure of the Quran remained consistent with the original.
The Power of Words: Exploring the Constructive and Destructive Forces of Language in Surah Ibrahim
This study provides a linguistic and communicative analysis of Surah Ibrahim (14:24–26), examining how language functions as a constructive and destructive force through Qur'anic metaphorical imagery. The verses use the metaphor of the "good tree" and the "evil tree" to illustrate the profound effects of speech on behavior and society. Through advanced linguistic frameworks, rhetorical analysis, and communication theory, this paper highlights how these metaphors reflect language's role in shaping moral values, social interactions, and psychological states. The study employed both qualitative and interdisciplinary approaches. The findings emphasize the Qur'anic perspective on the ethical implications of language, offering insights into contemporary communication practices. Positive language, like a firmly rooted tree, fosters constructive communication and strengthens societal bonds, while harmful speech leads to instability and social fragmentation. In contemporary contexts, these principles promote ethical communication, focusing on sincerity, truthfulness, and respect. Moreover, further research on cross-cultural communication could explore how these ethical guidelines apply in modern media and interpersonal relations.

Fungsi infografik yang mampu menarik minat para pembaca disebabkan oleh kandungannya yang berunsur grafik dan informasi menyebabkan penggunaan media sangat diperlukan untuk menyampaikan maklumat kepada khalayak. Walaupun terdapat pelbagai kaedah dalam penyampaian dan penyebaran maklumat, namun kepentingan media yang mempunyai peranan besar dalam masyarakat menjadikan media sebagai pilihan yang terbaik untuk menyebarkan ilmu pengetahuan. English: Infographics are a type of media that combines various elements, such as graphics, illustrations, and texts, in the same visual form. During the Eid Fitr celebration, mannerisms and etiquette while celebrating Shawwal should be practiced and emphasized among the Muslim community as the level of self-practice of etiquette during Eid celebrations is still low. Therefore, the dispersion of hadith related to Shawwal and its manners through infographics is a great effort that suits the current digital era. Thus, this article aims to analyze the hadiths of Shawwal and its etiquette while identifying infographic media as a medium to disperse knowledge. This qualitative study was conducted by analyzing the master books of hadiths. Study findings show 30 different manners related to the Shawwal celebration based on the explanation of the hadiths, which said hadiths are spread in social media through infographics. Meanwhile, only six hadiths were chosen for analysis purposes in this study. The impact of infographics, which can intrigue the readers because of their graphic and informative elements, further encourages the use of media to convey information to society. Even though there are various methods of communicating and spreading information, the importance of media is significant in society, making it the best choice for dispersing knowledge.
Auto-Diacritization and Stylistic Realization of Arabic Text using Deep Neural Networks
This paper presents QRDiaRec, an advanced diacritization system for Arabic Quranic texts. In Arabic, linguistic style refers to the variations in diacritic markings used to convey different pronunciations, dialects, meanings, and contextual understandings. QRDiaRec addresses the challenge of interpreting Arabic diacritics across multiple linguistic styles, which is crucial for accurate language processing. Unlike traditional systems that generate only one correct form of diacritics, QRDiaRec can recognize and produce multiple valid diacritic forms. This capability is due to its training on a dataset that encompasses seven Quranic linguistic styles. The Qur'an is an ideal case study because it is one text with multiple linguistic patterns, allowing us to recognize different forms of correct diacritization. QRDiaRec employs bidirectional LSTM, GRU, and transformer-based models to convert non-diacritic texts into annotated formats, achieving up to 94.2% accuracy. The system enhances Arabic language processing, impacting NLP, machine translation, and Arabic linguistics.
The Divine Blueprint: An In-Depth Analysis of the Quran’s Mathematical Architecture - Revealing the Golden Ratio, Solar Year Length, Universal Gravitational Constant, Speed of Light, Planck Constant, and the Significance of the Numbers 28 and 114
There is a strong belief that Allah Almighty could reveal His existence by encoding the laws of nature and their fundamental constants in the Quran with impeccable precision. However, the mathematical frameworks and patterns embedded within the Quranic text to reveal scientific laws and constants may contain minor deviations in numerical values to empower personal exploration, accommodate diverse interpretations, and strengthen faith. This theory is based on the fact that the Quran is the word of Allah Almighty. Consequently, one would anticipate finding evidence suggesting a divine origin. Many scholars and researchers have suggested that this evidence can be found in the mathematical structure of the Quran through patterns, numerical codes, and other mathematical features within the text that are too complex to be simply attributed to human authorship. Therefore, it is believed that the Quran contains within its structure a mathematical encoding of all physical laws and constants. Verses like 20.98, which states, "He encompasses all things in knowledge," are quoted as evidence. According to this perspective, the Quran is assumed to incorporate mathematical miracles, indicating a potential correspondence between its text and the underlying order of the universe. This theory reveals many mathematical frameworks illustrating how the Quran embeds scientific knowledge. These incorporate the identification of frequent occurrences of the golden ratio within the Quranic text and the manifestation of the golden ratio in the human body, alongside the determination of key celestial parameters such as the length of the solar year. Furthermore, this theory uncovers a numerical link between the Quran and fundamental scientific constants, notably the universal gravitational constant, the speed of light, and the Planck constant. Besides, this theory utilizes numerical analysis to offer a compelling rationale for why the numbers 28 and 114 are selected to represent the total number of Arabic letters and chapters in the Quran, respectively. Finally, this theory highlights the Quran's remarkable mathematical architecture, offering indisputable evidence of its divine composition. We behold a mathematical marvel of cosmic scale, a phenomenon defying human intelligence. Indeed, the Quran is a product of a superintelligence exceeding our comprehension.

Sapiential Insights for Ultimate Wisdom and Intelligence Appraising the Qur’an and Science
The human body is an extremely intricate work of art, with systems and organs interacting to create what has been acknowledged as life. Among these intricate relationships, one of the most fascinating and significant is the one that has been recently discovered between the gut, the brain, and the heart. Recent advancements in neurocardiology suggest that heart is not merely a pumping organ it has its own brain. This discovery has potential to fundamentally change our reductionist, positivist and more precisely biochemical understanding of higher consciousness, wisdom intelligence etc, paving way for a more holistic account which includes philosophical and epistemological analysis. More importantly, such changed paradigm challenges accepted dualisms and invites serious scholarship to explore the interconnectedness of mind, body, and emotion. However, these discoveries sparked a surge of discussions among diverse Muslim scholars and researchers who seek to understand the Qur'anic concept of heart-interceded wisdom, as well as the reasons why the Qur'an insist and talks about heart as a reflection of man’s religiousness or piety. It is important to keep in mind that science and the Qur'an are two different discipline each with their own set of argument and approaches. For instance, science is a discipline that is always changing due to technological innovations. while, the lessons found in the Qur'an are constant and ageless, occasionally metaphorical or allegorical. In the light of this intricate landscape, science and the Qur'an may either support or challenge each other on various matters. Therefore, it is imperative to note that scientific knowledge should not be regarded as the ultimate source for comprehending the Qur'an. Nonetheless, many individuals explore scientific findings to deepen their faith and their comprehension of the Qur'an. So, in this exploratory article, we will delve into the heart-gut-brain relationship, its scientific underpinnings, and the implications it holds for our understanding of Qur'anic teachings, health, emotions, and consciousness.
