Abstract

Al-Ghazālī is recognized as a distinguished scholar who adeptly integrates the principles of fiqh ‘Islamic jurisprudence’ with tasawwuf ‘Islamic mysticism’, achieving a balance between naqlī ‘transmitted knowledge’ and 'aqlī ‘rational knowledge’, as articulated in his seminal work, Iḥyā' 'Ulūm al-Dīn. However, his perspectives on women's issues, particularly regarding the purpose of marriage, have been characterized as non-moderate, prompting some scholars to label him a misogynist. This study aims to elucidate and analyze Al-Ghazālī's views on the purpose of marriage and its hierarchical structure through the lens of Mubādalah ‘reciprocity’. This research employs qualitative literature review methodologies supported by a philosophical framework. Primary data are sourced from Al-Ghazālī's works, namely Iḥyā' 'Ulūm al-Dīn and Kasr al-Shahwatain. Secondary data encompass a range of academic books, journal articles, and additional references that substantiate the research findings. The collected data are subjected to descriptive-analytical techniques for thorough review and analysis. The research outcomes indicate the following: First, Al-Ghazālī highlights the hierarchy of marriage purposes grounded in the levels of maqāṣid al-syarī’ah, which consist of ḍarūriyāt ‘necessities’, ḥājiyāt ‘needs’, and taḥsīniyāt ‘desirables’. Second, from the perspective of Mubādalah, Al-Ghazālī's views on the purpose of marriage, as presented in Iḥyā' 'Ulūm al-Dīn, do not align with the principles of Mubādalah and exhibit gender bias. This misalignment is evident in several aspects: (1) At the pre-marriage stage, Al-Ghazālī positions men as the decision-makers in the selection of a spouse, while women are relegated to the status of the chosen objects. (2) There exists an incongruity between the hierarchy of marriage goals from Al-Ghazālī's perspective and the principles of Mubādalah. (3) Al-Ghazālī delineates the husband-wife relationship within a superior-inferior framework. (4) He emphasizes the roles of women primarily within domestic spheres. Al-Ghazālī's views are undoubtedly shaped by the socio-historical context of his era, as well as his identity as a şūfi. This research aspires to contribute to the discourse surrounding the evolution of Islamic family law legislation, advocating for the recognition and safeguarding of women’s rights and roles in a more equitable manner.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the resource mobilization strategies employed to strengthen da’wah programs in Islamic educational institutions, focusing on Ma’had Al-Bi’athat Ad-Diniyah Yala in Southern Thailand. Utilizing a case study methodology, the research examines how the institution navigates funding challenges through a hybrid model that integrates community-based social capital with emerging digital fundraising modalities. The findings reveal a complex dynamic where traditional religious and social values are reproduced within the Muslim minority community, while simultaneously negotiating symbolic legitimacy via digital transparency and accountability. This dual approach highlights a paradoxical tension between maintaining historic trust-based networks and meeting modern philanthropic demands. By applying Bourdieu’s theory of cultural capital and habitus, the study advances theoretical understanding of how hybrid fundraising strategies enable institutional adaptation amid socio-economic constraints and shifting donor behaviors. The research contributes to broader discourses on institutional transformation, social reproduction, and the evolving role of digital engagement in sustaining religious education within marginalized minority contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impact of knowledge and religiosity on attitudes toward Islamic banks and the saving intentions of Generation Z Muslims. Data were collected using a convenience sampling method from students at Islamic higher education institutions in Central Java, Indonesia. A total of 210 respondents aged 17-27 participated in the study. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings reveal that both knowledge and religiosity significantly shape attitudes toward Islamic banks among Generation Z Muslims. Knowledge emerged as the most influential factor shaping attitudes. Attitudes, in turn, significantly influence the saving intentions of Generation Z Muslims at Islamic banks. This study further demonstrates that attitudes are the strongest determinant of the saving intentions of Generation Z Muslims at Islamic banks. Practically, this research provides valuable insights for Islamic bank marketers in formulating strategies to attract Generation Z Muslims to save in Islamic banks. Theoretically, this study affirms the importance of integrating cognitive, affective, and spiritual dimensions in consumer behavior analysis to better understand and predict behavior.
