THE COMMODIFICATION OF CHILDREN ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Exploring Child Exploitation through Hadith and Islamic Parenting Ethics

Shinta Nuriyah Hadiana — 2025-06-28

The phenomenon of child exploitation on social media shows an alarming escalation, especially when children—even infants—are actively involved in the production of digital content to attract public sympathy or financial gain. This study analyzes child exploitation practices through a netnographic approach, focusing on a viral case of an orphanage in Medan that exploited children for live streaming on TikTok to obtain donations. Through stages of investigation, interaction, immersion, and integration, this research evaluates audience responses, digital interaction dynamics, and the psychological impact on children. Findings indicate that this exploitation blurs the boundaries between private and public spaces in children's lives and normalizes the commodification of children in the digital economy. From an Islamic perspective, these actions contradict the ethical principles of parenting taught by the Prophet Muhammad, which emphasize love, protection of dignity, and the spiritual responsibility of parents. Thus, the prophetic values in parenting hadiths can serve as an ethical foundation for building fair, humane, and Islam-compliant digital parenting practices.

Ach. Nauval Afandi Enhas Nauval — 2025-06-28

ABSTRACT

This study explores the potential of gamelan music art in the context of being a spiritual medium, through the perspective of the philosophy of art, especially the thoughts of Sayyed Hossein Nasr. The purpose of this study is to reveal the position of Javanese Gamelan from the perspective of Islamic art from Sayyed Hossein Nasr, the spiritual and philosophical values in Javanese Gamelan, and the relationship between traditional art and Islamic values. This study is a library research by collecting data from various literature sources. This study concludes, (1) in the classification of Sayyed Hossein Nasr's art, gamelan music art is included in the category of traditional art because gamelan has spiritual value and is indirectly related to religion. (2) Gamelan has spiritual value because it is used as a tool to perform rituals to get closer to God. (3) Art in Islamic civilization is formed on the basis of awareness of the oneness of God so that gamelan players and listeners reach a transcendental state, so that they feel they are at a higher stage of consciousness where their souls will feel close to their God. This research contributes to the discourse of Islamization of knowledge by offering an alternative paradigm in understanding art. In addition to being entertainment, Gamelan can be used as an object of Islamization of knowledge by being interpreted religiously symbolic and studied philosophically within the framework of monotheism.

RELEVANCE OF KUNTOWIJOYO'S PROFETIC SOCIAL SCIENCE WITH ARIF MAFTUHIN'S “BEYOND THE RUKHSAH” IDEA

Awalluddin Awalluddin — 2025-06-29

ABSTRACT

Contemporary social problems require an integrative approach from various academic disciplines to achieve meaningful transformative solutions. This research aims to analyze the relevance of Kuntowijoyo's "Prophetic Social Science" concept to Arif Maftuhin's "Beyond the Rukhsah" concept within the context of Islamic scholarly paradigms concerning the empowerment of persons with disabilities. This study employs a literature research method with a comparative analysis approach to the primary works of Kuntowijoyo and Arif Maftuhin. The results demonstrate significant convergence between the three pillars of Prophetic Social Science—humanization, liberation, and transcendence—with the "Beyond the Rukhsah" paradigm that advocates for an azimah approach in disability jurisprudence, replacing the rukhsah (dispensation) paradigm that tends to be marginalizing. Humanization manifests in efforts to elevate the dignity of persons with disabilities as full subjects in the community, liberation is reflected in the redefinition of Islamic law that is more inclusive, while transcendence strengthens the foundation based on divine values. This research is expected to have implications for opening new epistemological paradigms that integrate empirical-transformative dimensions in Islamic studies, encouraging the formation of theoretical frameworks for the development of a more just, inclusive, and civilized society.

ABSTRAK

Problematika sosial kontemporer memerlukan pendekatan integratif dari berbagai disiplin keilmuan untuk mencapai solusi transformatif yang bermakna. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis relevansi gagasan "Ilmu Sosial Profetik" Kuntowijoyo terhadap konsep "Beyond the Rukhsah" Arif Maftuhin dalam konteks paradigma keilmuan Islam tentang pemberdayaan penyandang disabilitas. Kajian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kepustakaan dengan pendekatan analisis komparatif terhadap karya-karya primer Kuntowijoyo dan Arif Maftuhin. Hasilnya menunjukkan konvergensi signifikan antara tiga pilar Ilmu Sosial Profetik—humanisasi, liberasi, dan transendensi—dengan paradigma "Beyond the Rukhsah" yang mengadvokasi pendekatan azimah dalam fikih disabilitas, menggantikan paradigma rukhsah (dispensasi) yang cenderung marginalisatif. Humanisasi termanifestasi dalam upaya mengangkat martabat penyandang disabilitas sebagai subjek penuh dalam komunitas, liberasi tercermin pada redefinisi hukum Islam yang lebih inklusif, sementara transendensi memperkuat landasan berbasis nilai ketuhanan. Penelitian ini diharapkan berimplikasi pada terbukanya paradigma epistemologis baru yang mengintegrasikan dimensi empiris-transformatif dalam studi Islam, mendorong pembentukan kerangka teoretis untuk pengembangan masyarakat yang lebih adil, inklusif, dan berkeadaban

THE DISSOLUTION OF THE ISLAMIC DEFENDERS FRONT ORGANIZATION AND THE REPRESENTATION OF MODERATE GROUPS IN THE DYNAMICS OF ISLAM IN INDONESIA

Imam Fawaid — 2025-06-29

ABSTRACT

In recent years, Indonesia has been confronted with socio-religious problems, with the discourse of Moderate Islam and Extreme Islam at stake. Because these two groups have fought over the meaning of Islam in the middle of the public space by carrying different Islamic symbols by claiming their respective truths, this has triggered horizontal conflicts based on religion. This phenomenon cannot be separated from the existence of FPI which has attracted a lot of attention among the wider community, both academics and the general public. This research aims; first, to construct the identity of FPI, second, the concept of religious derivation adopted by FPI religious organization, and, third, the dissolution of FPI. The method used is discourse analysis based on Michel Foucault's genealogy of power perspective and through a descriptive qualitative approach based on literature study sources. Data in the form of text that can be obtained from scientific literature; in the form of journals, theses, theses, visual-video and other supporting documents. The results show that the dissolution of FPI is inseparable from the power relations of moderate ulama' and the government, the findings show that FPI is an embodiment of an organizational movement that tends to be extreme in religious practice. The theoretical implication in this research is as an effort to develop the study of the role of ulama and umara' in the socio-religious context.

ABSTRAK

Beberapa tahun terakhir Indonesia dihadapkan pada problem sosial keagamaan, diskursus Islam Moderat dan Islam Ekstrem menjadi taruhannya. Karena kedua kelompok ini telah berebut makna Islam di tengah ruang public dengan mengusung simbol-simbol Islam yang berbeda-beda dan mengklaim kebenaran mereka masing-masing. Hal tersebut memicu terjadinya konflik horizontal yang berbasis pada agama. Fenomena demikian tidak lepas dari keberadaan FPI yang banyak menyita perhatian di kalangan masyarakat luas baik kalangan akdemik maupun masyarakat umum. Penelitian ini bertujuan; pertama, mengkonstruksi identitas FPI, kedua, konsep derivasi keagamaan yang dianut organisasi keagamaan FPI, dan, ketiga, yakni pembubaran FPI. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif berdasarkan sumber studi pustaka dan analisis wacana berdasarkan persepektif genealogi kekuasaan Michel Foucault. Data berupa teks yang diperoleh dari literatur ilmiah, seperti jurnal, tesis, skripsi, visual-video dan dokumen pendukung lainnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pembubaran FPI tidak terlepas dari relasi kuasa ulama’ moderat dan pemerintah. Berdasarkan temuan tersebut menunjukkan bahwa FPI merupakan perwujudan dari gerakan organisasi yang cenderung ekstrem dalam pengamalan keagamaan. Implikasi teoritik dalam penelitian ini adalah sebagai upaya pengembangan kajian peran ulama dan umara’ dalam konteks sosial-keagamaan.
