Abstract

Universities perform a role beyond the enhancement of knowledge in modern society. During the epidemic, however, numerous institutions contributed to the improvement of the community's economy, and this trend persisted after the outbreak. The financial institutions established on the campuses of Madura's Islamic universities govern philanthropy as one of the instruments for economic development. Utilizing interviews, observation, and documentation, this research was conducted using a qualitativemethodology. The study's findings indicate that Islamic universities in Madura, through Islamic financial institutions and Islamic boarding schools, contribute to the improvement of the community's economy from the pandemic to the post-pandemic era through the use of philanthropic instruments, one of which is a widow. Widows are viewed as one of the categories that must be aided by the economy because it is usual for widows, especially those with children, to encounter economic hardships. In Islamic microfinance institutions founded on Islamic colleges in Madura, types of generosity include building houses, supplying meals on a blessed Friday, offering zakat maal and zakat fitrah, waqf in the form of daily necessities, and productive economic forms including capital aid.

Abstract

In the face of the global environmental crisis and the inadequacies of purely technocratic sustainability models, Islamic ethical principles and local cultural values have emerged as vital resources for designing a holistic green economy. This study explores how maqāṣid al-sharīʿah (the higher objectives of Islamic law) interact with ecological cultural practices in shaping sustainability models in Indonesia and Malaysia, two Muslim-majority countries with distinct yet interconnected Islamic traditions and environmental challenges. Using a qualitative-comparative approach based on secondary data, official policy documents, and previous studies, this article examines various Islamic-based green initiatives, including eco-pesantren (eco-friendly Islamic boarding schools), environmental waqf projects, and green Islamic policies initiated by state religious institutions. The findings reveal that both countries integrate Islamic values into environmental practices through differing approaches: Indonesia emphasizes community-based environmental movements rooted in pesantren networks and local customs (adat), whereas Malaysia prioritizes institutional frameworks led by official authorities such as JAKIM. These models demonstrate that maqāṣid al-sharīʿah and cultural ecology function not only as normative frameworks but also as adaptive strategies shaping the ethical, spiritual, and practical dimensions of sustainable development. This study contributes to the discourse on Islamic sustainability by offering a value- and culture-based conceptual synthesis as an alternative to the dominant market-oriented economic paradigm.
