Abstract

AI tools are increasingly used by university students to comprehend literary and cultural texts, but in Libya this use becomes sensitive when texts include religion, identity, and tradition, where misrepresentation may affect respect and classroom trust. This study aims to examine students’ perceptions of AI cultural sensitivity and the risks of bias in literature and culture learning at the University of Zawia. The study used a mixed-methods design, combining a questionnaire survey of 500 undergraduate students from the Faculties of Arts, Education, and Languages and Translation (124 males, 376 females) with semi-structured interviews with 10 lecturers. Survey findings show that AI use is common, with most students using AI at least weekly for text comprehension, cultural/historical context, writing support, and translation. Students reported moderate perceptions of AI cultural sensitivity, but high concern about misrepresentation, especially oversimplification of religious meanings, misunderstanding culture-specific terms, and biased framing. Students also showed a very strong preference for responsible-use governance, including verification practices, lecturer guidance, and AI literacy training. Faculty comparisons indicated higher perceived learning value among Languages and Translation students, while gender differences were minimal except for slightly stronger governance expectations among females. The study implies that AI can be integrated as a contextual support tool, but universities should provide clear guidelines and training to protect cultural respect and critical evaluation in sensitive topics.

Abstract

The transformation of monetary systems from gold and silver to fiat and digital currencies has generated significant challenges for contemporary Islamic jurisprudence. Central to these debates is the concept of thamaniyyah (moneyness), which determines the legal status of money and the application of rulings related to riba, Sarf, zakat, debts, and financial obligations. Scholars continue to disagree on whether thamaniyyah is a legally effective cause (ʿillah sharʿiyyah) or a customary attribute (wasf ʿurfi) arising from social acceptance and economic practice. Using a qualitative doctrinal methodology that combines analytical, comparative, and maqasid-oriented approaches, this study examines classical juristic writings, works of usul al-fiqh, contemporary Islamic finance literature, and fiqh academy resolutions. The findings show that classical scholarship supports both interpretations: some jurists treated thamaniyyah as an operative cause for extending monetary rulings, while others emphasized custom, public acceptance, and institutional recognition. The study argues that thamaniyyah is best understood as a custom-based legal attribute that originates in social and economic recognition but acquires binding legal consequences within the Shariʿah framework. This interpretation preserves doctrinal continuity while enabling Islamic law to address fiat money, inflation, digital currencies, and future monetary transformations.

Abstract

Contemporary governance is increasingly challenged by conditions of fragility, instability, and institutional fragmentation. This article examines governance breakdown as a multidimensional phenomenon that extends beyond institutional failure, focusing on the interplay between authority, regulation, and social legitimacy in fragile contexts. Using a qualitative and conceptual approach grounded in interdisciplinary literature, the study explores how governance systems operate when state authority is fragmented, legal frameworks are pluralistic, and administrative practices are weakened. The findings reveal that governance breakdown is characterized by overlapping and competing sources of authority, disrupted regulatory coherence, contested social values, and ineffective administrative mechanisms. Rather than indicating the absence of governance, these conditions reflect a reconfiguration of governance processes under structural constraints. The study contributes to the literature by reconceptualizing governance breakdown as an analytical framework for understanding the limits of conventional governance models. It highlights that effective governance depends not only on formal legal structures but also on their alignment with social legitimacy and their implementation through functional administrative practices. The article further emphasizes the need for adaptive, context-sensitive governance approaches capable of addressing normative diversity and institutional complexity in fragile environments.
