Abstract

Progressive law demands more open-mindedness to the possibility of alternative solutions in solving legal problems. In this case, the application of restorative justice is expected to have a positive impact on justice, not only in the formal legal context, but also in a broader social context. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the changes to criminal law in Law Number 1 of 2023 (later referred to as the National Criminal Law). How the application of restorative justice in the National Criminal Law is viewed from the perspective of progressive law. The method used is descriptive-normative, by collecting normative legal data, such as laws or regulations, to identify and understand its application in practice. The results show that Restorative justice offers a more humanist approach in resolving criminal cases, which focuses not only on punishment, but also on restoring the relationship between the perpetrator, the victim, and the community. Articles in the National Criminal Law indicate the existence of restorative justice in Article 54, Article 132 Paragraph 1 Letter g, Article 82, Articles 76, 77, and 80 (Reason for Termination of Prosecution), 132 Paragraph 1 Letters d and e. Restorative Justice in the National Criminal Law with a progressive legal approach provides opportunities for non-criminal settlements (diversion), recognition of victims, restorative justice, settlement with a substantive justice approach, alternative criminal sanctions. Through the application of restorative justice, the Indonesian criminal justice system has the potential to focus more on recovery and rehabilitation, reduce the burden on the courts, and support the social reintegration of offenders, which will create a more harmonious and just society. ___ References Books with an author: Dahl, R.

Abstract

This study examines the legal framework of waqf in Nigeria and its potential role in driving modern economic development. Waqf, as one of the key institutions in Islamic economic law, has historically played a significant role in wealth redistribution, social welfare, and public service provision in many Muslim societies. Despite its substantial potential, waqf in Nigeria remains underutilized due to regulatory ambiguities, low public awareness, and complex socio-political dynamics. This research provides an in-depth analysis of the existing waqf laws in Nigeria, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses, and investigates how regulatory reforms could enhance the effectiveness of waqf in addressing socio-economic challenges. Employing a qualitative research approach, the study integrates doctrinal legal analysis with empirical research to explore the waqf framework in Nigeria and its role in economic development. The findings reveal the implications of developing a more robust legal framework for waqf in Nigeria, emphasizing its role in poverty alleviation, education funding, healthcare services, and infrastructure development, while identifying its potential as a complementary mechanism to state-provided services. The study recommends the establishment of a dedicated waqf commission to standardize regulations, ensure accountability, and promote transparency. It also advocates for partnerships between government agencies, religious institutions, and civil society to raise awareness and encourage public participation in waqf initiatives. By integrating waqf into Nigeria’s broader economic and development policies, the study concludes that waqf has the potential to play a transformative role in achieving sustainable development goals, reducing economic disparities, and fostering community-driven development. The research findings are intended to serve as a foundation for policymakers, academics, and practitioners interested in revitalizing waqf within Nigeria’s contemporary economic framework. Abstract: Penelitian ini mengkaji kerangka hukum wakaf di Nigeria serta potensinya dalam mendorong perkembangan ekonomi modern. Wakaf, sebagai salah satu institusi kunci dalam hukum ekonomi Islam, secara historis berperan penting dalam redistribusi kekayaan, kesejahteraan sosial, dan penyediaan layanan publik di banyak masyarakat Muslim. Meskipun memiliki potensi besar, wakaf di Nigeria masih kurang dimanfaatkan akibat kurangnya kejelasan regulasi, rendahnya tingkat kesadaran masyarakat, serta dinamika sosial-politik yang kompleks. Penelitian ini memberikan analisis mendalam terhadap hukum wakaf yang berlaku di Nigeria, termasuk kekuatan dan kelemahannya, serta menyelidiki bagaimana reformasi regulasi dapat meningkatkan efektivitas wakaf dalam mengatasi tantangan sosial-ekonomi. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan penelitian kualitatif, menggabungkan analisis hukum doktrinal dengan penelitian empiris untuk menyelidiki kerangka kerja wakaf di Nigeria dan perannya dalam pembangunan ekonomi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan implikasi dari pengembangan kerangka hukum yang lebih baik bagi wakaf di Nigeria, peran wakaf dalam pengentasan kemiskinan, pendanaan pendidikan, pelayanan kesehatan, dan pembangunan infrastruktur, serta mengidentifikasi potensinya sebagai pelengkap layanan yang disediakan oleh negara. Rekomendasi penelitian ini meliputi pembentukan komisi wakaf khusus untuk menstandarkan regulasi, memastikan akuntabilitas, dan mendorong transparansi. Penelitian ini juga mendorong kemitraan antara lembaga pemerintah, institusi keagamaan, dan masyarakat sipil untuk meningkatkan kesadaran serta partisipasi publik dalam inisiatif wakaf. Dengan mengintegrasikan wakaf ke dalam kebijakan ekonomi dan pembangunan Nigeria secara lebih luas, penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa wakaf memiliki potensi untuk berperan transformatif dalam mencapai tujuan pembangunan berkelanjutan, mengurangi kesenjangan ekonomi, dan mendorong pembangunan berbasis komunitas. Temuan penelitian ini diharapkan menjadi dasar bagi para pembuat kebijakan, akademisi, dan praktisi yang tertarik untuk merevitalisasi wakaf dalam kerangka ekonomi kontemporer Nigeria.

Abstract

As the world grapples with the escalating impacts of climate change, innovative financing mechanisms to support mitigation efforts have become increasingly urgent. This study investigates the potential role of waqf an Islamic endowment system in addressing climate change challenges in Northern Nigeria, a region that faces a number of environmental and climate challenges particularly in terms of environmental degradation and climatic variability. The research utilizes a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews with key stakeholders, including waqf administrators, community leaders, and environmental activists, alongside quantitative analysis of existing waqf funds and projects related to climate adaptation. Findings reveal that waqf funds can be effectively leveraged to support various climate change mitigation initiatives, such as afforestation, water conservation, and renewable energy projects. The study highlights several successful case studies where waqf-supported activities have enhanced local resilience and contributed to sustainable resource management. Furthermore, it identifies significant barriers to the implementation of environmentally focused waqf initiatives, including lack of awareness, inadequate regulatory frameworks, and limited community engagement. The paper proposes actionable recommendations to optimize the role of waqf in climate change mitigation, including enhancing legal structures to support environmental waqf, fostering collaboration between waqf institutions and environmental NGOs, and implementing educational campaigns to raise awareness about the importance of sustainable practices within waqf management. Ultimately, this study advocates for a paradigm shift in the perception of waqf from a purely charitable endeavor to a comprehensive instrument for sustainability and climate resilience, thereby contributing to the broader discourse on integrating indigenous financial mechanisms into global climate change strategies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the leadership thought of Istibsyaroh, a female Islamic boarding school figure from Jombang, East Java, and its relevance in addressing leadership challenges in the Society 5.0 era. The issue of female leadership in this context remains a subject of debate, particularly concerning gender equality, the interpretation of Sharia law, and adaptation to modern technological advancements. Using a qualitative approach and a descriptive-analytical method, this study examines literature encompassing Istibsyaroh’s works, insights, and contributions, as well as the concept of female leadership in Sharia law and Society 5.0. The analysis reveals the interconnection between the qualifications of an ideal leader in the Society 5.0 era, Islamic perspectives on female leadership, and Istibsyaroh’s thoughts. The findings indicate that Istibsyaroh asserts women's right to hold political positions as long as they adhere to Islamic law, as there is no explicit evidence prohibiting female leadership in politics and governance. Through a critical review of thematic Quranic exegesis (tafsīr mawḍū‘ī) regarding scholars’ differing views on women’s political rights and leadership, it can be concluded that Islam provides space for women to engage in political leadership. Istibsyaroh’s leadership thought offers a model that emphasizes the synergy between Islamic values, gender justice, and adaptive skills in technology and global dynamics, making it relevant to addressing the complex leadership challenges of the Society 5.0 era.Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pemikiran kepemimpinan Istibsyaroh, seorang tokoh perempuan pesantren dari Jombang, Jawa Timur. serta relevansinya dalam menjawab tantangan kepemimpinan di era Society 5.0. Isu kepemimpinan perempuan dalam konteks ini masih menjadi perdebatan, terutama terkait keadilan gender, interpretasi hukum syariah, dan adaptasi terhadap perkembangan teknologi modern. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif dan metode deskriptif-analitis, penelitian ini mengkaji literatur yang mencakup karya, wawasan, dan kontribusi Istibsyaroh, serta konsep kepemimpinan perempuan dalam hukum syariah dan Society 5.0. Analisis ini mengungkap keterkaitan antara kualifikasi pemimpin ideal di era Society 5.0, perspektif Islam tentang kepemimpinan perempuan, dan pemikiran Istibsyaroh. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Istibsyaroh menegaskan hak perempuan untuk menduduki jabatan politik selama berpegang teguh pada syariat Islam, karena tidak ada dalil eksplisit yang melarang kepemimpinan perempuan di bidang politik dan pemerintahan. Dari tinjauan kritis terhadap kajian tafsīr mawḍū‘ī (tematik) mengenai perbedaan pandangan ulama tentang hak-hak politik perempuan, dapat disimpulkan bahwa Islam memberikan ruang bagi perempuan untuk berperan dalam kepemimpinan politik. Pemikiran kepemimpinan Istibsyaroh menawarkan model yang menekankan sinergi antara nilai-nilai keislaman, keadilan gender, serta keterampilan adaptif terhadap teknologi dan dinamika global, menjadikannya relevan untuk menghadapi tantangan kepemimpinan di era Society 5.0.

Abstract

This research examines the effectiveness of Islamic mediation as-Sulh as a mechanism for settling marital disputes among Muslim couples in Northeastern Nigeria. Islamic mediation as-Sulh is a branch of Islamic law that arbitrates and settles disputes between parties without using a formal court process. In Muslim communities all around north-eastern Nigeria, an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) procedure is regarded as a peaceful and less expensive choice for resolving marital conflicts. This study employs a qualitative research methodology based on a review of the literature and interviews with professionals in Islamic law, mediation, and conflict resolution. The data gathered from the interviews is analyzed using content analysis methods. The findings of the study show that Islamic mediation as-Sulh is an effective mechanism for settling marital disputes among Muslim couples in Northeastern Nigeria. The study's findings imply that Muslim couples in Northeastern Nigeria should use Islamic mediation as-Sulh more frequently as a successful and culturally suitable method of resolving marital conflicts. The study also highlights the importance of further research on this topic in order to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of this form of Alternate Dispute Resolution.

Apart from that, Baznas also pays attention to women's education and health as an integral part of the empowerment program. This study has concluded that the women's empowerment philosophy implemented by Baznas reflects the values of social justice, active participation, and desire. The implementation of Baznas programs has had a positive impact on improving the quality of life of women, especially among the poor and elderly. However, there are still challenges that must be overcome, such as limited resources and program accessibility. Therefore, collaboration with various stakeholders and more innovative and inclusive development strategies are needed to increase the effectiveness of women’s empowerment programs in the future. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran Badan Amil Zakat Nasional (Baznas) dalam pemberdayaan perempuan di Indonesia, dengan pendekatan kontekstualisasi filosofi pemberdayaan.

Selain itu, Baznas juga memperhatikan aspek pendidikan dan kesehatan perempuan sebagai bagian integral dari program pemberdayaan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa filosofi pemberdayaan perempuan yang diterapkan oleh Baznas mencerminkan nilai-nilai keadilan sosial, partisipasi aktif, dan keberlanjutan. Implementasi program-program Baznas telah memberikan dampak positif terhadap peningkatan kualitas hidup perempuan, terutama di kalangan masyarakat miskin dan lanjut usia. Namun demikian, masih terdapat tantangan yang harus diatasi, seperti keterbatasan sumber daya dan aksesibilitas program.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming banking, accounting, auditing, risk management, and customer service operations. In Nigeria, the integration of AI into the financial sector presents both unprecedented opportunities and significant challenges. This study examines the implications of AI adoption for professional development among Nigerian finance practitioners. Based on the frameworks of technological diffusion and human capital development, the research investigates how AI-driven tools like machine learning, natural language processing, robotic process automation, and predictive analytics are influencing financial practices and the skills required of professionals. The study uses a mixed-methods approach, combining survey data from finance professionals in selected Nigerian banks and fintech firms with qualitative interviews with regulators, educators, and technology experts. In addition to highlighting important opportunities like increased productivity, fraud detection, financial inclusion, and better decision-making, the findings are anticipated to point out significant obstacles like job displacement, ethical dilemmas, regulatory gaps, and a lack of professional AI literacy. In order to create a workforce prepared for AI, the study emphasizes the necessity of ongoing professional development, curriculum change in finance and accounting education, and cooperative efforts between the government, business community, and professional associations. The study conclude that effective AI integration in Nigeria's financial sector depends not only on the availability of technology but also on giving finance professionals the knowledge, moral compass, and flexible abilities they need to prosper in the age of digital transformation.
