Women’s rights in Islam are often debated and frequently misunderstood due to cultural practices and selective interpretations. This paper examines the historical evolution of women’s rights in Islam from pre-Islamic Arabia to modern times. It aims to show how Islamic teachings brought significant reforms in the social, legal, and moral status of women. Before Islam, women faced severe discrimination, denial of inheritance, and lack of personal choice. Islam addressed these injustices by granting women rights to inheritance, consent in marriage, education, religious responsibility, and participation in social life. The study also highlights the important contributions of Muslim women scholars, jurists, and educators during the prophetic and medieval periods. In addition, the paper briefly discusses Muslim feminism and contrasts it with Western feminist thought to clarify key ideological differences. Based on Qur’anic teachings, Hadith, and historical evidence, the paper argues that Islam fundamentally supports dignity, justice, and equity for women. The study concludes that many contemporary challenges faced by Muslim women arise from cultural misuse of religion rather than Islamic principles themselves. Understanding Islam through authentic sources is essential for an accurate view of women’s rights.

Polygamy regulations are designed to protect the interests of Muslim families; however, ironically, in some Muslim countries, these regulations have been associated with triggering domestic violence. This study aims to examine the legal politics of polygamy in Southeast Asian Muslim countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei Darussalam using a legal pluralism approach alongside Qur'anic perspective. The methodology employed is qualitative with a descriptive-interpretative approach. The findings indicate that these three countries regulate polygamy through two reforms: intra-doctrinal reforms that accommodate religious and cultural norms and extra-doctrinal reforms encompassing legal frameworks, judicial systems, and institutional structures. Three main factors influence these legal policies: religious understanding, local traditions, and political and social dynamics. As ūlū al-amri (authoritative leaders), the governments of these countries are committed to regulating polygamy to benefit families and children by integrating Islamic values, local traditions, and colonial legal influences. These regulations align with the Qur'anic message that permits polygamy under certain conditions and strict requirements, aiming to achieve marital goals of tranquility (sakīnah), affection (mawaddah), and compassion (raḥmah). However, stricter supervision and substantive legal reforms are necessary to reinforce these requirements and impose sanctions on violators.

IntroductionNight blindness is the first sign of vitamin A deficiency (VAD), which can lead to blindness if left untreated. University students may be at risk of VAD-related night blindness due to unhealthy eating attitudes and inadequate vitamin A intake. This study aimed to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes toward vitamin A consumption affecting night blindness in university students.MethodsThis cross-sectional study involved 409 third-year university students of Universitas Islam Sultan Agung, Semarang, Indonesia. Participants completed questionnaires about socio-demographics, their knowledge of vitamin A, and attitudes toward vitamin A consumption. Night blindness symptoms among university students were assessed using the Low Luminance Questionnaire (LLQ), followed by a bivariate analysis of the Chi-Square test. Multivariate binary logistic regressions were used to determine whether the independent variables were associated with night blindness. A p-value less than 0.05 indicated significance.ResultsThe prevalence of high-symptom night blindness was higher among males (26.4%) than females (5.7%). Out of 409 university students, 48 from the non-medicine cluster of the study program had a night blindness symptom. The prevalence was lower in students who studied in the medicine cluster program. The level of knowledge on vitamin A had a significant relationship with symptoms of night blindness [prevalence ratio (PR) = 2.239 (95% CI = 1.110–4.516)]. The attitudes toward vitamin A consumption were significantly associated with night blindness (PR = 2.560, 95% CI = 1.215–5.392).DiscussionThe results of this study show that the risk of night blindness in university students can be prevented by increasing their knowledge and attitudes toward consuming vitamin A-rich food. The university can provide health promotion and vitamin A supplementation to avoid night blindness among academia.

The impact of epigenetic modifications like DNA methylation on plant phenotypes has expanded the possibilities for crop development. DNA methylation plays a part in the regulation of both the chromatin structure and gene expression, and the enzyme involved, DNA methyltransferase, executes the methylation process within the plant genome. By regulating crucial biological pathways, epigenetic changes actively contribute to the creation of the phenotype. Therefore, epigenome editing may assist in overcoming some of the drawbacks of genome editing, which can have minor off-target consequences and merely facilitate the loss of a gene’s function. These drawbacks include gene knockout, which can have such off-target effects. This review provides examples of several molecular characteristics of DNA methylation, as well as some plant physiological processes that are impacted by these epigenetic changes in the plants. We also discuss how DNA alterations might be used to improve crops and meet the demands of sustainable and environmentally-friendly farming.

Today, due to the corrupt sequence of gender discriminatory views, their criticism has a special importance. Our hypothesis in this article is to prove the generality and prevalence of this gender view in the reasons of polygamy. It seems that the criticism and explanation of these reasons based on human nature and social interests with gender justice is more compatible. In this research, adherence to the verses related to the goals of marriage as a confirmation of the writers' point of view in the interpretation of the Qur'an, the third verse of Surah Al-Nisa is referred, for the first time. This article, which has been done in a descriptive-analytical method and by using library and internet resources, shows that the most limited and at the same time the most gendered views in the reasons of polygamy are experimental approaches, especially medical and psychological approaches.
This study aims to reveal the interaction of local Javanese culture with an Islamic philosophical approach originating from the Cowongan tradition performed by shamans accompanied by dances with holy ladies and reciting mantras. This tradition is a prayer asking the gods to send down rain. This article emphasised that the Cowongan tradition places mystical power as the dominant element in life, which is embodied in symbols. The study of mysticism is closer to the study of Sufism which presents it as Islamic mysticism with the color of syncretism of religious teachings with local cultural practices embodied by mystical-occult practices as the Penginyongan culture.
Contribution: This research contributed to the fact that traditions that are good and acceptable to society can become the law as part of the Urf, which need to be maintained as long as they do not conflict with Sharia.

The Arbaeen Religious Event, one of the world's largest tourism events, contains immaterial beliefs that have created such a movement in the world and are not based solely on a limited material view. The aim of this study was to investigate the identification of the esoteric truth of the tourist's spiritual perception in the development of religious tourism of the Arbaeen event, in a qualitative manner and in the method of description and analysis. This research was conducted by semi-structured interview with twenty-nine tourists who have attended the Arbaeen event at least once, during the summer of 1398. The results of the research indicate that the esoteric and inner truth of the tourist's existence refers to the feeling of being close to the Creator of the universe, the feeling of connection and closeness, the feeling of peace, the feeling of high human values and the feeling of returning to oneself and the lost inner self.Therefore, the spiritual perception of the tourist is a key element in the formation of such a religious cloud that requires a deeper look at the qualitative development of the Arbaeen religious event cloud.

This research is a descriptive study that describes the learning of chemistry during the Covid-19 pandemic. The respondents in this study were 127 high school students from the West Java and Banten provinces. A Google Form questionnaire was used to collect the data. The results showed that the most widely used online class applications were WhatsApp Group feature, Google Classroom, and Zoom. Students also used printed textbooks, e-books, and student worksheets as learning media. Students did laboratory practice at home using easily found tools and materials. However, a small portion of the respondents ( 11 %) used materials purchased from a chemical store, and another small portion of the respondents ( 14 %) used virtual laboratories. They reported the results of their practice by making a laboratory practice report as well as through video activities and Microsoft PowerPoint for presentation. Students learn from home with varying durations. Most students experienced obstacles during the learning process so that they prefer learning face-to-face in class as usual. Therefore, the teacher must prepare a variety of strategies for distance learning so that the students can learn chemistry from home with fun. Some strategies that can be applied are providing audio-visual learning media or computer/android-based games for chemistry, using the online class application that accommodates interactions similar to face-to-face learning, providing laboratory practice using tools and materials that can be easily found around the house, providing virtual lab application, and providing more opportunities for students to ask questions about chemistry topics that they do not understand.

In scenarios, like critical public safety communication networks, On-Scene Available (OSA) user equipment (UE) may be only partially connected with the network infrastructure, e.g., due to physical damages or on-purpose deactivation by the authorities. In this work, we consider multi-hop Device-to-Device (D2D) communication in a hybrid infrastructure where OSA UEs connect to each other in a seamless manner in order to disseminate critical information to a deployed command center. The challenge that we address is to simultaneously keep the OSA UEs alive as long as possible and send the critical information to a final destination (e.g., a command center) as rapidly as possible, while considering the heterogeneous characteristics of the OSA UEs. We propose a dynamic adaptation approach based on machine learning to improve a joint energy-spectral efficiency (ESE). We apply a Q-learning scheme in a hybrid fashion (partially distributed and centralized) in learner agents (distributed OSA UEs) and scheduler agents (remote radio heads or RRHs), for which the next hop selection and RRH selection algorithms are proposed. Our simulation results show that the proposed dynamic adaptation approach outperforms the baseline system by approximately <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mn>67</mn><mo>%</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> in terms of joint energy-spectral efficiency, wherein the energy efficiency of the OSA UEs benefit from a gain of approximately <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mn>30</mn><mo>%</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>.
