Abstract

The integration of Qur’anic principles into modern government systems represents a critical area of inquiry in contemporary Islamic governance studies. Muslim-majority countries have sought to align governance practices with Islamic values while addressing the challenges of modern state systems. This research examines the implementation of Qur’anic principles, such as justice (adl), consultation (shura), and accountability (muhasabah), in the governance frameworks of selected Muslim countries. The study explores how these principles are operationalized within modern political and legal systems to balance Islamic ideals with global governance standards. The research aims to assess the extent to which Qur’anic principles influence contemporary governance structures and identify best practices and challenges in their application. Employing a qualitative case study methodology, the study analyzes governance models in Malaysia, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia through primary legal documents, government policies, and interviews with policymakers and scholars. The findings reveal significant variations in the operationalization of Qur’anic principles across the selected countries, reflecting differences in political systems, historical contexts, and interpretations of Islamic law. The study concludes that effectively integrating Qur’anic principles into modern governance requires context-specific approaches that align with both Islamic teachings and contemporary governance standards.

Abstract

The rise of social media has revolutionized communication and presented new opportunities for Islamic propagation (da’wah). As digital platforms become integral to modern life, they offer unprecedented potential for disseminating Islamic teachings to a global audience. However, the effectiveness of digital da’wah depends on strategic engagement, content quality, and adaptability to diverse audiences. This study aims to explore effective strategies for spreading Islam through social media, identifying key factors that influence reach, engagement, and impact. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining content analysis of 200 da’wah-related posts across major social media platforms with surveys and interviews of 150 Islamic content creators and their audiences. Quantitative data measured engagement metrics, while qualitative insights explored perceptions of effectiveness and challenges faced by content creators. The findings indicate that successful digital da’wah strategies prioritize authenticity, audience interactivity, and relevance to contemporary issues. Visual storytelling, short video formats, and consistent posting schedules were identified as highly effective tactics. Challenges such as combating misinformation and addressing audience diversity were also highlighted. The study concludes that social media can be a powerful tool for Islamic propagation if utilized with strategic planning and cultural sensitivity. Future efforts should focus on capacity-building for content creators and fostering collaborative networks.

Abstract

The discipline of Kal?m (Islamic theology) has historically served as a framework for addressing theological controversies, utilizing rational discourse to harmonize scriptural interpretation with intellectual inquiry. In the modern era, theological debates concerning issues such as faith, ethics, and the reconciliation of science and religion have intensified, necessitating renewed exploration of Kal?m as a method for resolving these challenges. This study examines the contribution of Kal?m in addressing contemporary theological controversies through rational debates and intellectual engagement. A qualitative approach was employed, combining historical analysis and textual study of classical Kal?m works with case studies of modern applications in theological discourse. Data were collected through critical analysis of primary texts and interviews with contemporary theologians and scholars actively engaging in rational debates on theological issues. The findings demonstrate that Kal?m provides a robust intellectual foundation for navigating contemporary theological controversies. Its emphasis on rational argumentation fosters constructive dialogue between traditional Islamic perspectives and modern intellectual paradigms. The study concludes that Kal?m remains a vital tool for resolving contemporary theological controversies, bridging the gap between tradition and modernity.

Abstract

Islamic philosophy offers profound insights into metaphysical problems, with the works of Ibn Sina (Avicenna) and Al-Ghazali standing as pivotal contributions. These scholars addressed foundational metaphysical issues, such as the nature of existence, causality, and the relationship between reason and revelation. This study investigates the metaphysical perspectives of Ibn Sina and Al-Ghazali, highlighting their intellectual interplay and enduring influence on Islamic and global philosophy. The research aims to compare and critically analyze their positions on key metaphysical problems, focusing on their interpretations of existence (wujud), causality, and the divine attributes. Employing a textual and comparative analysis method, the study examines primary sources, including Ibn Sina’s Al-Shifa and Al-Isharat wa al-Tanbihat, alongside Al-Ghazali’s Tahafut al-Falasifa and Al-Iqtisad fi al-I’tiqad. Secondary sources are utilized to contextualize their arguments within broader philosophical discourse. The findings reveal that Ibn Sina’s rationalist metaphysics emphasizes a hierarchical understanding of existence, while Al-Ghazali critiques such rationalism, emphasizing theological orthodoxy and divine omnipotence. This interplay demonstrates a dynamic intellectual tension that shaped the trajectory of Islamic metaphysics.

Abstract

The role of Muslim communities in addressing contemporary social issues in Western countries has garnered increasing attention within the sociology of Islam. As these communities grow and diversify, their interactions with broader societal structures pose both challenges and opportunities for social cohesion. This study investigates the multifaceted contributions of Muslim communities in addressing social issues such as discrimination, inequality, and cultural integration in Western societies. The research aims to explore how these communities engage with civil society and policy frameworks to foster positive change and promote mutual understanding. Employing a qualitative methodology, the study integrates in-depth interviews, participant observations, and a review of secondary data from case studies in key Western countries. The findings reveal that Muslim communities play a significant role in advocating for social justice, challenging stereotypes, and building interfaith dialogue. These efforts are often mediated through community organizations, religious institutions, and grassroots initiatives, highlighting their agency in shaping inclusive societal norms. The study concludes that Muslim communities contribute to resolving social issues through adaptive strategies that balance Islamic principles with contemporary societal demands.

Abstract

The increasing presence of Islam in Europe has led to the emergence of modern mosque architecture, raising questions about its impact on Islamic identity. This study examines how modern architectural styles influence the perception and experience of Islamic identity within European Muslim communities. This research aims to analyze the architectural features of selected modern mosques in Europe and explore how these features interact with the construction and negotiation of Islamic identity among worshippers. Employing a qualitative research methodology, this study conducts case studies of several prominent modern mosques in various European countries. Data collection involves site visits, architectural analysis, and semi-structured interviews with mosque attendees and community leaders. The study analyzes the interplay between modern architectural aesthetics, traditional Islamic architectural elements, and the evolving interpretations of Islamic identity in a European context. Some mosques prioritize minimalist designs and contemporary materials, while others incorporate subtle Islamic motifs within modern frameworks. The study concludes that modern mosque architecture in Europe serves as a dynamic space where Islamic identity is negotiated and expressed in diverse ways, reflecting the complex interplay between tradition, modernity, and the specific socio-cultural contexts of European Muslim communities.
