Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital technologies has fundamentally transformed the production, dissemination, and validation of knowledge, creating new epistemic challenges for Muslim societies. The emergence of artificial intelligence, algorithmic information systems, and digital religious authorities has disrupted conventional structures of knowledge and weakened the boundaries between religious authority, scientific rationality, and public discourse. This study aims to reconstruct the epistemological framework of Muhammadiyah’s Progressive Islam (Islam Berkemajuan) as a response to digital disruption through the integration of Manhaj Tarjih, progressive Islamic education, and social transformation. Employing a qualitative library research design combined with critical conceptual analysis, the study examines Muhammadiyah’s primary doctrinal documents, including Risalah Islam Berkemajuan, Himpunan Putusan Tarjih, Pedoman Hidup Islami Warga Muhammadiyah, and relevant scholarly literature on Islamic epistemology, digital religion, and technological transformation. The findings reveal that Progressive Islam functions as an epistemological paradigm that integrates revelation, rational inquiry, empirical knowledge, and social praxis within a coherent framework of tajdid (renewal), tanwir (enlightenment), and human welfare. Furthermore, the reconstruction of Manhaj Tarjih demonstrates a methodological shift toward the integration of bayani, burhani, and maqasidi approaches, enabling Islamic knowledge to engage constructively with contemporary digital challenges. The study also highlights the strategic role of progressive Islamic education in cultivating critical digital literacy and ethical awareness, while digital social transformation strengthens societal resilience and public benefit. These findings culminate in the formulation of the Progressive Islamic Epistemology Model (PIEM), which offers an integrative framework for harmonizing revelation, scientific reasoning, technological development, and social welfare in the digital age. The study contributes to contemporary discussions on Islamic epistemology by positioning digital disruption as an opportunity for epistemological renewal rather than merely a technological challenge.

Rekonstruksi Penalaran Hukum Islam dalam Muhammadiyah: Studi tentang Manhaj Tarjih, Tajdid, dan Ijtihad Jama‘i

This study examines Muhammadiyah’s Manhaj Tarjih as a methodological framework for reconstructing Islamic legal reasoning in Indonesia. The study aims to analyze its foundational perspective, legal sources, epistemological approaches, technical procedures, and institutional transformation in producing religious rulings. This study uses qualitative library research with descriptive-analytical methods. The data were collected from official Muhammadiyah documents, academic books, journal articles, theses, and relevant institutional publications. The findings show that Manhaj Tarjih places the Qur’an and al-Sunnah al-Maqbulah as the main normative sources, while ijma’, qiyas, maqashid al-shari‘ah, maslahah, opinions of jurists, and empirical realities function as supporting methodological instruments. Legal rulings are formulated through collective ijtihad that integrates bayani, burhani, and irfani approaches. This collective mechanism produces legal reasoning that is hierarchical, argumentative, integrative, and adaptive to social change. The novelty of this study lies in its integrated reading of Manhaj Tarjih as a theoretical and operational framework that connects tajdid, Islam Berkemajuan, legal sources, epistemology, and collective ijtihad. Thus, Manhaj Tarjih represents a modern model of Islamic legal reasoning that balances text, reason, spirituality, and public benefit. This model remains relevant for contemporary Islamic legal thought and Islamic education

REKONSTRUKSI KEPERCAYAAN KONSUMEN MELALUI ETIKA DIGITAL ISLAM PADA ERA PERDAGANGAN BERBASIS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has fundamentally reshaped digital commerce, yet it simultaneously produces a crisis of consumer trust driven by algorithmic opacity, personal data exploitation, and manipulative personalization practices. This study aims to reconstruct a consumer trust framework through the lens of Islamic digital ethics as a normative foundation for equitable AI-based trade governance. Employing a qualitative descriptive method through a systematic literature review integrated with interpretive thematic analysis, this research examines 62 scholarly sources addressing the intersection of consumer trust, AI ethics, and Islamic commercial principles (muamalah). The findings articulate four foundational values tawhid, 'adl (justice), ikhtiyar (freedom of choice), and shafafiyyah (transparency), framed by the principle of amanah synthesized into an operational framework termed the TAIS Model for evaluating and designing sharia-compliant AI commerce systems. The study further reveals that the internalization of Islamic digital ethics strengthens three dimensions of consumer trust: competence, integrity, and benevolence, offering a middle path between algorithmic efficiency and consumer dignity protection. Theoretically, this research enriches contemporary Islamic business ethics discourse; practically, it provides guidance for digital business actors, AI developers, and regulators in formulating algorithmic governance policies grounded in Islamic values and consumer protection.

IDEOLOGI MUHAMMADIYAH DAN IMPLEMENTASI PRAKTIS KEPUTUSAN ORGANISASI TENTANG 5 KHITTAH DALAM KEHIDUPAN BERMASYARAKAT DI ERA MODERN

Muhammadiyah has long stood as one of the most influential Islamic organizations in Indonesia. Since its founding in 1912, the organization has built a strong ideological identity one that finds its operational expression in five guiding principles collectively known as the 5 Khittah. These principles emerged from successive national congresses held in Palembang (1956), Ponorogo (1969), Ujung Pandang (1971), Surabaya (1978), and Denpasar (2002). This paper examines how Muhammadiyah's ideology functions in practice through the implementation of the 5 Khittah, particularly amid the challenges of contemporary life. Drawing on a qualitative library research method, the study engages with official organizational documents, academic literature, and relevant scientific articles. The findings suggest that Muhammadiyah's ideology, rooted in the Qur'an and Sunnah, manifests through a tajdid spirit that balances purification with progress. Rather than remaining mere declarations, the five khittah serve as living guidelines that drive concrete social programs in education, health, and community welfare. At the same time, the pull of partisan politics, the pressures of globalization, and the weakening of ideological understanding among younger members present challenges that cannot be overlooked. Strengthening cadre formation, harnessing digital media for outreach, and embedding khittah values more deeply into organizational culture are essential for Muhammadiyah to remain steadfast in its mission.

Konstruksi Ideologi Muhammadiyah: Telaah Filosofis Muqaddimah Ad/ Art, Tujuh Falsafah, Tujuh Belas Kelompok Ayat, Dan Kepribadian Muhammadiyah Dalam Bingkai Kaderisasi Islam Berkemajuan

This study examines the construction of Muhammadiyah ideology through an integrative philosophical analysis of its five constitutive pillars: the theological-philosophical foundations, the Muqaddimah of the Articles of Association (AD/ART), the seven philosophies (Tujuh Falsafah) of KH Ahmad Dahlan, the seventeen Quranic verse clusters (Tujuh Belas Kelompok Ayat), and the Personality of Muhammadiyah (Kepribadian Muhammadiyah). Employing a qualitative library-research approach grounded in philosophical hermeneutics, this study analyses official Muhammadiyah documents and contemporary scholarly literature. The findings demonstrate that Muhammadiyah ideology is structured along three interlocking axes: an ontological axis anchored in tawhid, a normative axis articulated in the Muqaddimah and AD/ART, and an axiological axis crystallised in the philosophies, verse clusters, and Personality. The seventeen verse clusters function as the spiritual-pedagogical core of the system, while the Personality operationalises these values into a corporate ethos of progressive Islam (Islam berkemajuan). This study contributes to the philosophy of Islamic education by offering a coherent framework for cadre formation that resists the ideological fragmentation and moral relativism of the digital era.

Iman, Akal, Dan Kemanusiaan: Titik Temu Pendidikan Kristen Dan Fikrah Islamiyyah Dalam Penguatan Moderasi Beragama

The increasing challenges of intolerance, radicalism, and identity polarization in pluralistic societies call for the development of an educational paradigm capable of strengthening religious moderation in a substantive and sustainable manner. This article aims to analyze the common ground between Christian education and Fikrah Islamiyyah through the concepts of faith, reason, and humanity as the foundation for promoting religious moderation. This study employs a qualitative approach using library research and a philosophical-comparative analysis of primary and secondary literature related to the philosophy of Christian education, Islamic educational thought, and the concept of religious moderation. The findings reveal that both educational traditions share fundamental perspectives in viewing faith as the source of values and moral orientation, reason as an instrument for seeking truth and developing knowledge, and humanity as the sphere for actualizing religious values in social life. The concept of imago Dei in Christian education and karāmah al-insān in Fikrah Islamiyyah demonstrate substantial similarities in affirming human dignity. Furthermore, the integration of faith and reason in both traditions produces an educational paradigm that rejects the dichotomy between religion and science while fostering an inclusive, dialogical, and responsible religious attitude. This study concludes that faith, reason, and humanity constitute shared conceptual foundations that can be developed as a framework for religious moderation education. These findings contribute to the advancement of interfaith education studies and offer a humanistic, transformative, and relevant educational model for multicultural societies in the twenty-first century.
