The dynamic socio-political landscape of modern Indonesia presents a unique challenge and opportunity for the reinterpretation of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh). Traditional approaches rooted in classical texts often struggle to address contemporary issues such as democracy, human rights, and gender equality.<br>Purpose. This study aims to analyze and compare traditional and contemporary approaches to Islamic jurisprudence within the Indonesian context, focusing on how each responds to modern societal demands.<br>Method. The study involved 288 university students from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean TFL settings, and the data from questionnaires were analysed using appropriate statistical methods.<br>Results. The findings reveal a growing trend among contemporary scholars to contextualize fiqh by embracing maqasid al-shari‘ah (the objectives of Islamic law), while traditionalist views remain significant, especially in rural and pesantren-based communities. The study highlights the coexistence and occasional tension between these approaches, suggesting that a balanced reinterpretation, grounded in both textual integrity and contextual relevance, is essential for Islamic jurisprudence to remain meaningful in modern Indonesia.<br>Conclusion. In conclusion, the research emphasizes the need for an inclusive and dialogic framework that bridges traditional wisdom and contemporary realities. </p> 2025-05-25T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Loso Judijanto, Muhammad Aziz, Sabri Sabri https://journal.ypidathu.or.id/index.php/islamicstudies/article/view/2277 Dynamics of Islamic Religious Education Learning for Children with Special Needs at Slb Ypplb Padang City 2025-05-25T15:57:56+07:00 M Faisal abuarkan070486@gmail.com Rusydi Rusydi rusydi@gmail.com Romiyilhas Romiyilhas yilhasromi@gmail.com Nurul Huda nurulhuda@gmail.com <p><strong>Background. </strong>Islamic Religious Education for Children with Special Needs (ABK) plays a crucial role in the formation of inclusive character and spirituality. However, Islamic Religious Education learning for ABK at SLB YPPLB Padang City faces complex challenges, such as the heterogeneity of student needs (mentally retarded, deaf, physically disabled), limitations of conventional methods, and minimal teaching materials and teacher training.</p> <p><strong>Purpose.</strong> This study aims to analyze Islamic Religious Education learning strategies, supporting factors, and inhibiting factors at SLB YPPLB.</p> <p><strong>Method.</strong> The research used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews with Islamic Religious Education teachers, special needs students, and education personnel, as well as documentation studies.</p> <p><strong>Results. </strong>The results of the study show that: 1) Learning planning still adopts standard lesson plans with limited modifications, 2) The learning process is dominated by lecture and drill methods which are less effective, 3) Evaluation tends to be conventional and not fully adaptive, and 4) The main inhibiting factors include limited resources, while collaborative assessments and visual media are potential supporters.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong>. The study's conclusions confirm the need for the development of flexible lesson plans, inclusive method-based teacher training, and portfolio-based evaluation. These findings contribute to the integration of Islamic education principles (ta'd?b and tarbiyah) with inclusive education theories (differentiated instruction, scaffolding), while strengthening the urgency of systematic policies for holistic Islamic Religious Education learning for children with special needs. Further research recommendations include multi-location studies and the development of special needs assessment instruments.</p> 2025-06-07T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 M Faisal, Rusydi Rusydi, Romiyilhas Romiyilhas, Nurul Huda
