source criticism

This study examines the historical development of pesantren in Ogan Ilir Regency, South Sumatra, focusing on institutional diversity and the formation of its socio-religious identity as a City of Santri. Using a qualitative-historical approach, the study investigates 22 pesantren through in-depth interviews with 75 informants, participant observation, and document analysis. Historical source criticism and thematic analysis are employed to reconstruct institutional trajectories and identify patterns of institutional differentiation. The findings reveal three historical phases: initial institutionalization (1932–1967), consolidation and diversification (1983–1996), and institutional expansion and integration (2003–2023). Across these phases, three overlapping institutional orientations emerge: scholarly tradition, educational modernization, and self-reliance and community empowerment. These orientations demonstrate that pesantren development involves the coexistence of Islamic scholarly continuity, educational transformation, and expanding social functions rather than a linear transition from traditional to modern institutions. The study interprets these developments through the perspectives of continuity and change, ideal typology, and social construction, highlighting how institutional practices may reproduce socio-religious meanings. It offers an integrated historical and institutional account of pesantren development in Ogan Ilir while recognizing that the extent to which the City of Santri identity is collectively accepted requires further empirical investigation.

The rapid proliferation of generative artificial intelligence in educational contexts has transformed how students encounter academic content, yet a fundamental question remains underexamined: Do English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners possess the critical literacy competencies needed to evaluate AI-generated texts? This study investigated whether students in Morocco’s Classes Préparatoires aux Grandes Écoles (CPGE)—one of the nation’s most academically selective post-secondary programs—demonstrate readiness for AI-era literacy demands. We developed a diagnostic assessment instrument, the Critical Reading Diagnostic Assessment (CRDA), designed to mirror common characteristics of AI-generated academic content: a confident, authoritative tone, a logical structure with subtle gaps, claims requiring verification, and culturally embedded assumptions. Thirty first-year CPGE students (M age = 18.6 years) evaluated argumentative passages across five critical dimensions: argument identification, evidence evaluation, assumption recognition, multi-source synthesis, and source criticism. Metacognitive self-assessment data were also collected. Results revealed systematic evaluation failures across all dimensions, with mean accuracy rates of only 18–39% and large effect sizes confirming substantial deficits (d = 1.11–2.25). Metacognitive analysis showed that students overestimated their abilities by 11–38 percentage points across all dimensions, indicating profound self-assessment inaccuracies.

Digital Qur’anic preaching often places Qur’anic wording, ḥadīth reports, exegetical explanation, and motivational language within one short audiovisual sequence. This study examines how a 10-minute 31-second preaching video transforms Q.S. Al-Ikhlāṣ [112] from a compact declaration of tawḥīd into a sequence of faḍā’il claims and supplication, while asking how source differences remain visible or become compressed. The study uses an artifact-centered qualitative case design that integrates audiovisual content analysis, thematic tafsīr, ḥadīth source criticism, and multimodal framing analysis. The video is reconstructed claim by claim before comparison with Q.S. Al-Ikhlāṣ [112]: 1–4, Q.S. Al-A‘rāf [7]: 156, Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, Musnad Aḥmad, Jāmi‘ al-Tirmidhī, and classical tafsīr. The findings show four recurrent operations: doctrinal condensation, devotional expansion, source-label equalization, and motivational reframing. The report that Q.S. Al-Ikhlāṣ [112] equals one-third of the Qur’an has strong canonical support, whereas the ten-recitation reward report has a debated transmission history and wording variation; the al-Aḥad/al-Ṣamad supplication is comparatively well supported. Close reading of Q.S. Al-Ikhlāṣ [112] further indicates a theological progression from an identification of the oneness of God toward absolute independence, then to the negation of genealogy and equivalence, so later reward claims belong to a reception layer rather than the sūrah’s semantic content. As its main contribution, the article proposes an Epistemic Faḍā’il Mediation Model (EFMM) linking provenance, authentication, communicative function, and media framing without claiming empirical audience reception.

موعظه‌های دیجیتال قرآنی اغلب واژگان قرآنی، روایات حدیثی، تفسیر و زبان انگیزشی را در یک توالی کوتاه صوتی‌تصویری ترکیب می‌کنند. این مطالعه بررسی می‌کند که چگونه یک ویدئوی موعظه به مدت ۱۰ دقیقه و ۳۱ ثانیه، سوره اخلاص [۱۱۲] را از یک اعلام فشرده توحید به توالی‌ای از دعا و ادعاهای فضیلت تبدیل می‌کند و در عین حال می‌پرسد که تفاوت‌های منبعی چگونه قابل مشاهده باقی می‌مانند یا فشرده می‌شوند. این پژوهش از یک طرح کیفی مبتنی بر اثر استفاده می‌کند که تحلیل محتوای صوتی‌تصویری، تفسیر موضوعی، نقد منبع حدیث و تحلیل چارچوب چندوجهی را ادغام می‌کند. ویدئو به صورت ادعا به ادعا بازسازی شده و سپس با سوره اخلاص [۱۱۲]: ۱–۴، سوره اعراف [۷]: ۱۵۶، صحیح بخاری، مسند احمد، جامع ترمذی و تفاسیر کلاسیک مقایسه می‌شود. یافته‌ها چهار عملیات تکرارشونده را نشان می‌دهند: چگالش اعتقادی، گسترش عبادی، همسان‌سازی برچسب منبع و بازچارچوب‌بندی انگیزشی. گزارشی که سوره اخلاص [۱۱۲] را معادل یک‌سوم قرآن می‌داند، پشتوانه قوی روایی دارد، در حالی که گزارش پاداش ده‌بار قرائت، تاریخچه نقل و تفاوت در واژگان دارد؛ دعای «الْأَحَد/الصَّمَد» نسبتاً پشتوانه بهتری دارد. قرائت دقیق سوره اخلاص [۱۱۲] همچنین نشان‌دهنده پیشرفت الهیاتی از شناسایی یگانگی خدا به سوی استقلال مطلق و سپس نفی نسب و همتایی است، بنابراین ادعاهای پاداش بعدی متعلق به لایه دریافت هستند نه محتوای معنایی سوره. به عنوان مهم‌ترین دستاورد، این مقاله مدل میانجی‌گری فضایل معرفتی (EFMM) را پیشنهاد می‌کند که منشأ، اعتبارسنجی، کارکرد ارتباطی و چارچوب‌بندی رسانه‌ای را بدون ادعای دریافت تجربی مخاطب به هم پیوند می‌دهد.
