The transformation of Islamic religious authority
Lohlker, Rüdiger; Soleh Hasan Wahid (MDPI, 2026-04-17)
The transformation of religious authority in the digital age is shaped by the interactions between human actors, digital media and algorithmic systems. This study uses digital ethnography to examine how religious authority is constructed and negotiated on digital platforms used by Muslims in Indonesia and globally. This study focuses on seven authoritative figures in the digital Islamic landscape, representing different spectra of authority, from traditional pesantren in Indonesia to transnational apologetics and urban liberalism. The findings reveal patterns of authority delegation in which digital platforms replace human roles in da’wah and Islamic institutions. Religious authority is formed through articulative work that connects the Sunnah, intermediaries (religious scholars), and congregations. Public search data show that digital spaces function as a medium of distribution, where religious authority is shaped by audience responses, message repetition, symbolic affiliation, and the dynamics of debate. This study highlights the role of algorithmic culture and authority representation aesthetics in mediating religious authority in the digital age. Algorithms shape exposure and reach audiences, and representational aesthetics are crucial for disseminating religious content. The study concludes that clerical authority in the digital era results from technocultural mediation, in which the cleric becomes both a figure and representation calculated by machines and validated by the audience’s participation.

Generation Zs, often labeled as "digital natives," are now increasingly joining the education sphere. This generation has unique characteristics, such as familiarity with technology, the need for immediate recognition, and an expectation for continuous self-development. This article sought to analyze how generation-based career development management can optimize the performance of Generation Z educators. The research employs a qualitative method through interviews, observations, and literature studies. The research findings indicate that Generation Z educators require flexible career paths, technology-based training, and supportive, inclusive workplaces. Additionally, factors such as immediate recognition, constructive feedback, and cross-generational mentoring are crucial in motivating them. The findings also suggest that implementing relevant career development strategies can enhance the productivity of Gen-Z educators while simultaneously improving overall educational quality.

Artificial intelligence (AI), the erosion of tacit knowledge, and the challenges of cultivating wisdom : epistemological and ethical implications for 21st century Islamic education
Yazid Hady; Nofi Maria Krisnawati; Fatima, Afsheen (Badan Litbang Dan Diklat Kementerian Agama RI, 2025-08-31)
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into Islamic education offers efficiency and personalisation, but risks eroding tacit knowledge gained through experience, reflection, and spiritual relationships, which from the basis of wisdom and character building. This study uses a systematic literature review, utilising the Data–Information–Knowledge–Wisdom (DIKW) model and the tacit–explicit knowledge framework. The literature was obtained from academic databases (2020–2025) with strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings show that AI is highly effective in disseminating explicit knowledge, but it cannot replace the vital role of tacit knowledge in nurturing students’ manners, wisdom, and spiritual values. Ethical challenges, algorithmic bias and dehumanisation, are increasingly pertinent in the digital era. The study emphasizes the need to position AI as a supportive tool, strengthen AI literacy rooted in Islamic values, and protect the role of teachers and human-oriented learning spaces to ensure that Islamic education remains rooted in humanity.

Toward a gender-responsive translation of the Qur’an : a study of the revised Al-Qur’an dan terjemahnja by the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs
Hamam Faizin; Fauzan; Nofi Maria Krisnawati (Faculty of Ushuluddin and Religious Study Universitas Islam Negeri Raden Intan Lampung, 2025-06-30)
Al-Qur’an dan Terjemahnja, published by the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA), has often been criticized by scholars for reflecting gender-biased interpretations. However, the revisions conducted between 1998 and 2002 indicate attempts to address gender-related concerns in the Indonesian translation of the Qur’an. This article examines how gender discourse influenced the revision of the translation during the Reformasi period. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and Roger Fowler’s critical discourse analysis, this study analyzes linguistic changes introduced in the revised edition of Al-Qur’an dan Terjemahnja. The analysis shows that several translation choices were modified to reflect a more gender-responsive perspective. For instance, the term wanita was replaced with perempuan, the description of women’s creation was reformulated, and the term pemimpin (leader) was translated as pelindung (protector). In addition, women were no longer consistently positioned as direct objects of male desire. These revisions indicate a shift from a more patriarchal orientation toward a gender-responsive translation. The study argues that this transformation was closely linked to the expanding gender discourse during the Reformasi era, particularly the institutionalization of gender mainstreaming policies in Indonesia.

Reformulating gender norms in Saudi Arabia : cultural liberalization under vision 2030
Fakih Fadilah Muttaqin; Yazid Hady; Nofi Maria Krisnawati; Endang Susanti; Siti Rohwati (Center for Gender and Child Studies (Pusat Studi Gender dan Anak) LP2M, UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, 2025-06-28)
This article examines the process of gender norm reconstruction in Saudi Arabia within the framework of Vision 2030, focusing on the state's strategy of selectively liberalizing culture to support its authoritarian modernization project. In the conservative Wahhabi tradition, women's positions have been limited by legal, social, and religious structures. However, since 2016, under the leadership of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi government has initiated a series of reforms that have allowed women to drive, work in the public sector, and access entertainment and cultural spaces. This article uses a qualitative-analytical approach with an exploratory-descriptive design through discourse and policy analysis, as well as a theoretical framework of modernization, state feminism, and ideological control in authoritarian states. It was found that gender reforms in Vision 2030 are not merely a form of emancipation, but rather a state strategy to build new legitimacy, attract global investment, and reframe national identity without overhauling the authoritarian political order. This study makes an important contribution to understanding the dynamics of gender in contemporary Muslim societies and development politics in the Gulf region.
