Women's Prostration in Prayer: Qur'anic Interpretation, Worship Ethics, and Contemporary Challenges
Research Background: This article examines the practice of women’s prostration (sujud) in prayer by integrating Qur’anic interpretation and the ethics of worship. Contemporary Muslim communities often experience differences in the posture of women’s sujud, which are frequently judged normatively as right or wrong, while the spiritual meaning of prostration as total submission to God is neglected. The study addresses the question: how does the Qur’an conceptualize sujud as spiritual surrender, and how can this meaning function as an ethical framework for understanding diverse women’s practices? Methods: This research employs a qualitative library method with a thematic (maudhu‘i) Qur’anic interpretation combined with analysis of fiqh and socio-religious practices. Key Findings: The findings show that sujud in the Qur’an represents a multidimensional submission—physical, psychological, and ontological—while juristic variations in women’s posture reflect ethical considerations of modesty rather than inequality. Misunderstanding arises from a technical-legal approach detached from spiritual awareness and amplified by imitative practices in the digital era. Contribution: The study contributes theoretically by proposing an integrative model of tafsir, fiqh, and spiritual ethics, and practically by offering a reflective framework for teaching prayer that reduces conflict and strengthens religious consciousness. Conclusion: In conclusion, differences in women’s sujud should be understood as legitimate ijtihad within the shared goal of humility before God, transforming ritual from mechanical movement into meaningful devotion.

Harmonisation of Modern Truth Theory and Islamic Epistemology: A Transformative Epistemological Review of the Contemporary Truth Crisis
Background Study: This article examines the problem of truth in contemporary society by focusing on the harmonization between modern Western theories of truth and Islamic epistemology. The study addresses the following questions: how do classical and modern theories of truth explain the nature of truth, what challenges arise in the era of post-truth and digital disinformation, and how can Islamic epistemology contribute to resolving these challenges? Methods: Employing a qualitative literature review method, the article analyzes major theories of truth—correspondence, coherence, pragmatism, consensus, and performative theories—alongside the Islamic concept of al-ḥaqq, including rational, empirical, intuitive (ḥudūrī), and revelational sources of knowledge. Key Findings: The findings indicate that no single theory sufficiently addresses contemporary epistemic crises, particularly when knowledge is detached from ethical responsibility. The study proposes a dialogical and integrative framework that harmonizes rational-empirical verification with moral-spiritual orientation. Contribution: The main contribution of this article lies in formulating a transformative ethical-epistemic model of “civilized truth,” which integrates universal ethics and Islamic values to strengthen social responsibility in the digital age. Conclusion: In conclusion, a pluralistic and harmonize epistemology is essential to address post-truth challenges and to restore truth as a foundation for justice, public trust, and social cohesion.

Clinical Decision Support Systems for Dementia Management Using Predictive Analytics and Explainable AI
Research Background: Dementia is a growing global public health challenge driven by population ageing and increased life expectancy. Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) have emerged as important tools to assist clinicians in early diagnosis, risk stratification, prognosis estimation, and personalized care planning in dementia management. Recent advances in predictive analytics and artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning and deep learning models, have significantly enhanced the analytical capabilities of CDSS. However, the integration of these technologies into clinical practice remains limited due to concerns related to interpretability, generalizability, and ethical accountability. This study aims to review the development of CDSS for dementia management that integrate predictive analytics with Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI). Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using peer-reviewed publications from major academic databases published between 2017 and 2025. The analysis focuses on algorithmic approaches, data sources, validation strategies, and explainability techniques applied in contemporary dementia CDSS. Key Findings: The findings indicate that predictive models demonstrate high accuracy in detecting early cognitive impairment and predicting disease progression. Nevertheless, their clinical implementation is often constrained by the “black-box” nature of many AI models and limited external validation. Explainable AI methods such as SHAP, LIME, and attention-based networks are increasingly used to improve transparency and clinician trust. Contribution: This study contributes an integrative perspective that emphasizes the importance of balancing predictive performance with interpretability, ethical governance, and clinical usability. Conclusion: It concludes that integrating predictive analytics with XAI is essential for developing trustworthy and clinically applicable CDSS in dementia care.

Comparison of Classical and Modern Interpretations in Interpreting Verses About Peace of Mind
Background: This study examines the Qur’anic concept of spiritual tranquility (as-sakīnah and an-nafs al-muṭma’innah) through an integrative approach that combines classical and modern exegesis with contemporary psychological theory. In the modern context of rising psychological distress, the Qur’anic paradigm of inner peace offers a holistic framework that unites theological, emotional, and cognitive dimensions. Methods: Using a qualitative hermeneutic and comparative approach, this research analyzes interpretations from classical scholars such as Ibn Kathir alongside modern exegetes including Quraish Shihab and Sayyid Qutb. The analysis also incorporates interdisciplinary insights from psychology and neuroscience to elucidate the relevance of spiritual practices in emotional regulation. Key Findings: The study reveals a paradigmatic shift from a purely theocentric understanding of tranquility to a psychospiritual model emphasizing self-regulation, faith internalization, and emotional balance. Empirical evidence, such as Rahmatullah and Syafii (2025), demonstrates that spiritual activities like dhikr enhance dopamine levels and reduce cortisol, supporting the link between spirituality and neuropsychological well-being. Contribution: The research formulates a spiritual–psychological peace model that bridges Qur’anic interpretation with modern psychological frameworks, offering theoretical and therapeutic implications for Islamic-based psychotherapy. Conclusion: Spiritual tranquility in the Qur’anic perspective is not a passive state but an active psychological process that harmonizes faith, cognition, and emotion, providing a valuable foundation for contemporary mental health discourse.

Key Findings: The findings reveal that al-Banna’s tajdid is integrative, comprehensive, and gradual (syāmil and tadarruj). It encompasses not only spiritual aspects but also social, educational, political, economic, and cultural domains. His model preserves the authenticity of Islamic teachings while remaining responsive to modern realities, thus avoiding both rigid scripturalism and excessive liberalization. Contribution: This study positions al-Banna as the architect of a balanced tajdid paradigm that harmonizes text and context, and it offers a conceptual framework applicable to designing reform strategies across various spheres of Muslim life. Conclusion: Hasan al-Banna’s tajdid model provides a relevant and contextual methodological foundation for the development of contemporary Islamic civilization. Nevertheless, further research is needed to examine the implementation and limitations of this model within more complex modern socio-political contexts.

Determination of Rukyatul Hilal in the Harmonization of Science and Religion
As Muslims who observe fasting almost every year, of course this cannot be seprated from the determination of the start of Ramadan and Shawwal. In this case, there are also differences in determination, especially since in Indonesia itself there are several different schools. Determining the start of Ramadhan and Shawwal need to be made base on rukyat al-hilal. Currently, an path to a witness is the main basis for accepting testimony of seeing the new moon. However, in practice there is almost never any clarification regarding the conditions for fulfilling the crescent moon testimony, because it turns out that in practice in tne field, there are still many who cannot identify with certainty whether they are seeing a crescent moon or another object. Science and technology have developed so rapidly. Scientific evidence is verry necessary to guarantee the certainty of the shahadah which is used as a guideline for the itsbat at the beginning of the months of ramadan and shawwal. Then in this study, it was concluded that science and technology, especially in the fields of optics and digital imaging, were proven to be able to help increase objectivity in rukyat al-hilal testimony.
