Abstract

Many Muslim students in Southeast Asia struggle with self-acceptance, especially around body image with adverse implications for well-being. This study evaluated a culturally attuned life-skills counseling program in an Islamic higher-education setting. Using a quasi-experimental nonequivalent pretest–posttest control design at the State Islamic Institute (IAIN) Bone, Indonesia, 24 undergraduates with low self-acceptance were assigned to experiment group and control group. The intervention followed the DASIE sequence and integrated bibliotherapy and self-talk framed by Islamic virtues (muḥāsabah, shukr, riḍā) and local norms (adab, musyawarah). Self-acceptance was measured with the Husna & Fatonah scale (α=.961). Mann–Whitney analysis showed a significant post-intervention advantage for the counseling group (p=.001) with a large effect, indicating educationally meaningful gains. Mechanisms likely included identification with culturally relevant narratives and practice of faith-consistent self-evaluation. Findings support embedding faith-aligned, skills-based counseling within guidance services and training counselors in religiously attuned cognitive-behavioral methods across Islamic and local culture-based schools. Interpretation is qualified by a small, single-site, quasi-experimental design. Future multi-site randomized studies with longitudinal follow-up should test durability and examine mediators (e.g., self-compassion, perceived unconditional positive regard) and moderators (e.g., gender, socioeconomic status, religious commitment).

Abstract

This article analyzes the political orientation of the academic community at Islamic higher education institutions in South Sulawesi regarding affirmative action policies for women in local political contests, viewed from the perspectives of the Qur'an and maqāṣid al-sharī'ah. This study uses a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design, integrating quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative data were obtained through a Likert-scale questionnaire to measure the cognitive, affective, and conative dimensions of political attitudes, while qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews, Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and documentation. The qualitative data was then analyzed using maqāṣid al-sharī'ah theory. In accordance with the concept of gender in the Qur’an, which positions women as equal, balanced, and dignified. The results of the study show that normatively, the majority of respondents accept the principle of gender equality in the Qur'an, especially based on the concepts of musāwāh, 'adl mashlahah, and maqāṣid al-sharī'ah. However, at the level of local political implementation, the acceptance of affirmative action remains influenced by interpretations of qiwāmah, the misunderstood siri' culture within the Bugis-Makassar tradition, and patriarchal social constructs. This study confirms the tension between Qur'anic normative principles and local political practices, while showing that the contextual reinterpretation of Islam opens up a space of theological legitimacy for women's leadership. A contextual interpretation aligns with the principles of maqāṣid al-sharī'ah, enabling a role for women in politics and repositioning their status in a fair and dignified manner, without undermining the noble values ​​of the Quran.
