Abstract

This paper seeks to examine the opportunities and challenges posed by the ?al?l business in Nigeria and its certification according to laws. It provides a comprehensive review of the sector, outlining its structure, current state, potential for growth and the intimidating challenges in the operational and legal circle. ?al?l industry is an emerging sector with great potential for growth and economic development in Nigeria. The large Muslim population is a driving factor that creates opportunities for its growth to improve the national economy. However, these opportunities, as well as the impeding challenges, have still been poorly understood. The paper draws data from both primary and secondary sources; obtained from interviews, industry literature, government laws and reports. The paper found that legal provision of halal industry in Nigeria can create more opportunities in the country’s trade and commerce sector by expanding the production of locally grown food, creating economic linkages, developing an export market, booming tourism and hospitality sectors; and thus become a major source of employment in the country. However, a number of challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, insufficient access to finance, and a lack of regulatory framework could hamper the growth of the industry; and therefore, need to be addressed. The paper conclude that with the proper policy interventions and investment, the ?al?l industry in Nigeria has the potential to create significant economic, social, and environmental benefits [Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji peluang dan tantangan yang ditimbulkan oleh bisnis ?al?l di Nigeria serta sistem sertifikasinya berdasarkan ketentuan hukum yang berlaku. Kajian ini menyajikan tinjauan komprehensif mengenai sektor tersebut dengan menguraikan struktur, kondisi terkini, potensi pertumbuhan, serta berbagai tantangan signifikan dalam aspek operasional dan hukum. Industri ?al?l merupakan sektor yang sedang berkembang dengan potensi besar untuk mendorong pertumbuhan dan pembangunan ekonomi di Nigeria. Jumlah penduduk Muslim yang besar menjadi faktor pendorong utama yang membuka peluang bagi pengembangan sektor ini guna meningkatkan perekonomian nasional. Meskipun demikian, berbagai peluang tersebut beserta tantangan yang menghambatnya masih belum dipahami secara memadai. Penelitian ini menggunakan data yang bersumber dari data primer dan sekunder, yang diperoleh melalui wawancara, literatur industri, peraturan perundang-undangan, serta laporan pemerintah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengaturan hukum terhadap industri halal di Nigeria berpotensi menciptakan peluang yang lebih luas dalam sektor perdagangan dan komersial, antara lain melalui peningkatan produksi pangan lokal, pembentukan keterkaitan ekonomi, pengembangan pasar ekspor, pertumbuhan sektor pariwisata dan perhotelan, serta penciptaan lapangan kerja yang signifikan. Namun demikian, sejumlah tantangan seperti keterbatasan infrastruktur, akses pembiayaan yang belum memadai, serta belum optimalnya kerangka regulasi dapat menghambat pertumbuhan industri ini. Oleh karena itu, tantangan-tantangan tersebut perlu segera diatasi. Tulisan ini menyimpulkan bahwa melalui intervensi kebijakan yang tepat serta dukungan investasi yang memadai, industri ?al?l di Nigeria memiliki potensi untuk menghasilkan manfaat ekonomi, sosial, dan lingkungan yang signifikan.]

Abstract

Within the larger context of Islamic social finance, this research explores how waqf has evolved from a conventional charitable organization to a useful tool for long-term socioeconomic development. In Muslim societies throughout history, waqf has been essential in promoting communal welfare, healthcare, education, and religious institutions. However, weak governance structures, insufficient legal and regulatory frameworks, poor asset management, and a lack of strategic alignment with national and community development goals have limited its effectiveness in many modern contexts. Waqf is therefore frequently limited to temporary humanitarian endeavors rather than being utilized as a long-term development organization. This research investigates the evolving role of waqf within Islamic social finance using a qualitative research technique. It draws on an extensive survey of scholarly literature, policy documents, chosen case studies, and insights from expert interviews. The analysis finds important institutional, ethical, and practical constraints that impede waqf's developmental potential, such as governance flaws, inadequate transparency, poor public awareness, and fragmented cooperation with other Islamic social finance mechanisms like zakat. The findings show that waqf has considerable untapped potential to contribute to long-term human development when repositioned within a comprehensive development framework. Institutional reforms, professional management practices, accountability systems, and policy integration appear to be significant variables for improving its efficacy. The research suggests that integrating waqf with maq??id al-shar??ah objectives and current development concerns can reposition it as a sustainable funding mechanism alongside other Islamic finance instruments. The research concludes with practical policy proposals aimed at strengthening waqf governance, institutional capacity, and strategic relevance, thus increasing its contribution to long-term social and economic growth in Muslim nations.

Abstract

Background: Climate change and environmental degradation have become major worldwide issues, particularly in poorer nations. There are still gaps in funding and community-level instruction for sustainable environmental practices, despite global commitments to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Although the Islamic institution of waqf, a type of perpetual charity endowment, has long been important for social welfare, little is known about how it might help with sustainability and environmental education. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the applicability and potential of waqf in advancing sustainable development and environmental education. It looks at how waqf can be set up and used to support environmental initiatives, ecological literacy, and awareness-raising initiatives both inside and outside of Muslim communities. Methodology: Using content analysis of original Islamic law sources, historical case studies, and modern waqf models from nations like Malaysia, Indonesia, and Turkey, a qualitative research approach was used. To learn more about real-world applications and difficulties, semi-structured interviews were also done with community leaders, environmental academics, and waqf officials. Findings: By creating eco-friendly schools, assisting research facilities, financing green technology, and supporting awareness campaigns based on Islamic ecological ideals, waqf can make a substantial contribution to environmental education and sustainable development, according to the study. Examples from history show that waqf holdings were historically utilized to protect public amenities and natural resources like forests and water sources. In certain nations with a majority of Muslims, contemporary waqf organizations are already starting to adjust to sustainability goals. However, because of a lack of knowledge, legal restrictions, and a lack of creativity in waqf management, this integration is still quite low. Limitations: The scope of this study focuses on a few Muslim-majority nations with operational waqf organizations. Access to waqf administrative documents and some parties' reluctance to reveal financial strategies are further barriers to empirical data. Originality: Waqf is an underutilized financial and educational tool for promoting sustainability and environmental care. Policy changes, community involvement, and strategic alliances that match waqf with international sustainability goals and Islamic environmental norms are necessary to optimize its impact.

Abstract

This study investigates the relevance, transformation, and potential revival of waqf (Islamic endowment) as a foundation for moral economy and Islamic ethics in the context of modern capitalism. While traditional Islamic moral economics focuses on equitable wealth distribution and social welfare, current capitalist institutions frequently favor profit maximization, financialization, and market efficiency. This study looks critically at how waqf has historically reduced socioeconomic gaps and how its ideas might be used in modern economic systems to alleviate poverty, social exclusion, and market failures. The paper proposes a normative framework for incorporating waqf into ethical economic strategies that reconcile moral imperatives with capitalist realities, based on doctrinal analysis of Islamic legal texts, a review of contemporary scholarship on moral economy theory, and case studies of modern waqf initiatives. The findings suggest that waqf can serve as a long-term tool for community investment, social safety nets, and value-based economic resilience if legal reform, governance innovation, and ethical institutional frameworks are achieved. The article concludes by advocating policy and institutional options for reviving waqf within global economic systems while maintaining Islamic ethical integrity and modern market efficiency.

Abstract

Waqf (Islamic endowment) has historically been a key driver of socioeconomic development in Muslim cultures, funding education, healthcare, social welfare, and public infrastructure. However, conventional waqf administration and utilization strategies have struggled to adequately address modern socioeconomic concerns like as poverty, unemployment, urbanization, financial isolation, and inadequate institutional governance. This research investigates the importance of reinterpreting waqf within the context of present socioeconomic realities while maintaining true to its classical juristic roots. The study uses a qualitative and analytical approach on Qur'anic principles, Prophetic traditions, classical fiqh literature, and modern Islamic finance scholarship to explore how waqf can be revitalized through innovative instruments, institutional reforms, and integration with modern economic systems. The research advocates for a maq??id al-shar??ah-oriented reinterpretation of waqf, which provides for greater flexibility in asset management, investment strategies, and governance structures while maintaining its perpetual and benevolent nature. The findings demonstrate the ability of contemporary waqf models such as cash waqf, corporate waqf, waqf-based social finance, and public-private partnerships to satisfy current developmental requirements in a sustainable manner. The research concludes that reinterpreting waqf in light of current socioeconomic conditions is not a departure from Islamic tradition, but rather a necessary evolution that can reposition waqf as a dynamic tool for inclusive growth, social justice, and sustainable development in today's Muslim world.

Semantic Exploration of the Word 'Imra'ah' in the Qur'an: Differences in Meaning and Forms Muhammad, Adamu Abubakar; Alrumayh, Safa; Hidayat, Ahmad Fadhel Syakir; Touré, Youcha Alassane; Riaz, Shehla

Abstract

One of the key issues in Qur'anic linguistic studies is lexical ambiguity, where a single word may convey multiple meanings depending on its form and context. The word “imra’ah” appears in various forms in the Qur'an and demonstrates semantic variation that cannot be fully understood through general or dictionary-based interpretation alone. Despite its frequent occurrence, this term has not been sufficiently analyzed from an integrated semantic and morphological perspective. This study aims to: (1) identify the meanings of the word “imra’ah” in the Qur'an, and (2) analyze its morphological forms. This research employs a qualitative library approach, with data collected from Qur'anic verses, dictionaries, and tafsir sources. The analysis is conducted by identifying occurrences of “imra’ah”, classifying them based on their forms, and interpreting their meanings within context, supported by linguistic and exegetical comparisons. The findings show the word “Imra’ah” in the Qur'an has two meanings: (1) woman, and (2) wife, with two forms: (1) with or without idhafah, and (2) with ta' marbuthah or ta' maftuhah. The word “Imra’ah” with idhafah, whether attached to a pronoun or a noun, refers to the meaning of wife, while without idhafah or in its dual form, it means woman. In its singular form, the word “Imra’ah” with ta’ marbuthah means woman, while with ta’ maftuhah it means wife. These findings have practical implications for Qur'anic interpretation and Arabic language learning, helping to avoid misinterpretation and providing a clearer understanding of the relationship between form and meaning.

Abstract

This study examines intra-cadre marriage among Wahdah Islamiyah cadres in Manado as a socio-legal phenomenon linking Islamic marital norms, religious homogamy, and social sustainability. The study responds to the tendency of previous discussions to portray intra-cadre marriage mainly as an expression of religious harmony, while its implications for social boundaries and institutional continuity remain insufficiently explored. Using a hermeneutic phenomenological approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with nine key informants, supported by observation and document analysis. The findings show that intra-cadre marriage is motivated by three interconnected objectives: implementing Islamic values in family life, strengthening da‘wah through a shared marital commitment, and fostering a rabbani generation. These objectives are sustained through the accumulation of religious capital, social closure, and the transmission of organizational values across generations. Social sustainability is reflected in family and organizational cohesion, the continuity of Islamic values, and the resilience of religious identity within a plural social environment. This study contributes to socio-legal scholarship by demonstrating that marriage within Islamic organizations functions not only as a legal and religious institution but also as a mechanism for reproducing collective identity and institutional sustainability across generations.
