Abstract

Science and Islam were originally one in the realm of the unity of existence (al-wahidat al-wujud) Allah SWT. Still, when humans accepted them, they became multi-fragmented because of the capacity of each human mind. Islamic education, which originates from the Qur'an and Hadiths contributes to integrating Science and Islam. For this reason, this article aimed to explore the implementation of the reintegration of Science and Islam in postgraduate Islamic education learning at one of the Islamic tertiary institutions in Jambi province, Indonesia. This study used a qualitative approach to explore and understand the participants' experiences. The data were derived from the results of semi-structured interviews and free interviews, which explain and convey explicit or implied meanings or symbols from the collected data related to the steps for implementing three categories, namely the conception of knowledge, approaches to implementing the reintegration of Science and Islam in Islamic education learning, and materials used. The data were processed and analyzed using domain analysis to obtain an overview of the implementation of Science and Islamic reintegration in Islamic education. The study results explain that the strategic steps for implementing the reintegration of Science and Islam in Islamic education learning have three main aspects: The conception of science in the reintegration of Science and Islam in learning must be carried out to have one perception and one vision. That is, all knowledge comes from one source, namely Allah SWT. An approach to faith is based on a solid monotheism by combining and explaining signs found in nature (Kauniyah verses) with signs learned in the Qur'an and Hadith (Kauliyah verses). The Material comes from Science and Islam, the Qur'an, and Hadiths. Science as a social science is developed and linked to Islamic Science, the Qur'an, and Hadiths which form the basis of its development.

Abstract

This study explores the role of social media in enhancing English proficiency among students at the Shehu Sule College of Nursing Sciences, Damaturu. Despite the growing use of digital platforms in education, limited research has examined their specific impact on language learning in this context. This study addresses this gap using a quantitative approach by distributing an online questionnaire via college students’ WhatsApp groups. A total of 104 students participated in the study, and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and frequency distribution. Google Docs spreadsheets were used for chart visualization. Findings reveal a gender disparity, with 79.8% of male and 20.2% of female respondents. The frequency of social media usage varied, with 42.3% using it daily, 36.5% several times a week, 18.3% occasionally, and 2.9% infrequently. WhatsApp was the most preferred platform (42.4%), followed by Facebook (20.7%), YouTube and Instagram (17.4% each), and TikTok (2.2%). Key learning activities included watching educational videos (28.0%), following language-learning groups (26.2%), reading posts (20.9%), and language exchanges (14.2%), while podcast listening was less common (10.7%). Students reported improvements in vocabulary (41.4%), grammar (50.0%), and pronunciation (55.7%), with 47.2% experiencing increased motivation. Additionally, 70.2% of respondents support integrating social media into formal education, while 21.2% advocate a cautious approach. The study recommends promoting female engagement, developing tailored learning resources, incorporating emerging platforms, enhancing interactive activities, and formally integrating social media into English curricula. These findings underscore social media’s potential as an effective supplementary tool for language learning.

Abstract

This study seeks to fill a gap in the literature, which has been overly focused on the dichotomy between Islamic law and the state, by offering a new perspective: zakat as a space for convergence and a social laboratory for the creation of inclusive, responsive, and adaptive governance in response to the complexities of Muslim societies in Indonesia and Malaysia. This study employs an exploratory-descriptive qualitative approach, focusing its analysis on legal documents, regulations, religious fatwas, and academic literature discussing zakat management in Indonesia and Malaysia. The results confirm that the convergence of Islamic law and customary law in zakat management in Indonesia and Malaysia is essentially a space for the search for meaning of justice that is never final, where the state, society, and religious authorities continuously negotiate the boundaries of universality and locality in the distribution of welfare for the people. In the dialectic between the egalitarian principles of Sharia and the nuanced kinship practices of customary law, zakat emerges as a social laboratory that tests the legitimacy, inclusiveness, and vitality of the legal system itself. The effectiveness and transparency of zakat governance are not solely determined by the state's courage to innovate or the sophistication of regulations, but by the success of all actors in fostering critical, reflective dialogue, providing genuine space for local community participation, and positioning zakat as an instrument of social liberation that challenges the status quo and opens new pathways to substantive justice.

Abstract

This study examines the importance of learning motivation in supporting students’ success in an Arabic private tutoring program. Arabic learning often presents challenges, particularly in vocabulary, Arabic syntax, morphology, and Arabic text reading. This study aims to describe students’ learning motivation in joining the Arabic Private Tutoring Program at Al-Fatih Private Tutoring Institute. It also identifies the supporting and inhibiting factors that influence their motivation. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. The researchers collected data through interviews, observation, and documentation. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that students’ initial motivation was generally influenced by parental encouragement, academic needs, and the desire to understand religious lessons. However, after participating in the private tutoring program, students’ motivation developed into intrinsic motivation. They felt more comfortable, confident, and supported in understanding Arabic. The main supporting factors included patient tutors, gradual learning methods, a conducive learning environment, and parental support. The inhibiting factors included difficulties in understanding Arabic grammar and limited independent practice. This study concludes that the Arabic private tutoring program plays an important role in fostering students’ learning motivation. It also improves their self-confidence and strengthens their basic Arabic language competence.

Abstract

This study focuses on the contributions Waqf institutions make to community service delivery while critically examining their role in advancing sustainable development in Nigeria. In order to assess the impact of Waqf in sectors including education, healthcare, poverty reduction, and infrastructure development, the study uses both qualitative and quantitative data gathered through surveys, interviews, and document analysis. In order to highlight excellent practices and issues, case studies of prominent Waqf foundations in Nigeria are given, together with their accomplishments and shortcomings. The results show that although Waqf institutions have made important contributions to community service, issues including tax regulatory frameworks, low public awareness, and subpar management techniques have prevented them from reaching their full potential. The report emphasizes that in order to improve the operation of Waqf institutions, legal reforms, capacity training, and public-private collaborations are necessary. With a focus on its alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the study ends by offering a roadmap for utilizing Waqf as a tool for sustainable development in Nigeria. There are suggestions on how civil society, religious institutions, and government agencies might work together to revive Waqf institutions for efficient community service delivery, which would eventually support social cohesion and national growth.

Abstract

Women economic empowerment has been at the heart of global discussions about development owing to the critical roles it plays in poverty alleviation, household welfare, inclusive economic development and growth. Nevertheless, an important proportion of women, especially in developing countries, still face poor access to financial services, productive assets and financial opportunities. Their entrepreneurship potentials continue to be untapped due to their poor access to capital. Limited financial resources and collateral requirements prevent poor women from accessing Conventional financing options. As part of the Islamic financial framework, zakah, waqf, sadaqa, and Islamic micro-financing are useful tools for social justice and promoting equal distribution of wealth. Hence this paper aims to present the Integrated Women Islamic Social Finance Empowerment Framework (IWISE) which is an effort to combine the elements of Islamic social finance with women empowerment entrepreneurship and capacity development into a single cohesive model. This study employs a qualitative research approach. The primary data collection consists of document analysis of Islamic classical legal texts, and reviews of current relevant literatures on Islamic social finance, women entrepreneurship, financial inclusion, micro financing and poverty alleviation. The study employs conceptual and analytical method to synthesis existing body of knowledge and put forward an integrate Islamic social finance for women’s economic development. Study shows that better integration of Zakah and Waqf Institutions, Islamic micro-financing institutions, governments and civil society could improve women access to finance, support the provision of business development, vocational skills, digital literacy, and other opportunities in the market place. Productive endowments (waqf) and zakat, could sustain entrepreneurial activities for women. This approach is expected to create synergistic and collaborative partnerships to advance women entrepreneurship, financially include women in the economy and sustainably enhance their livelihoods. This study adds to the existing body of literature on Islamic social finance through proposing a novel model of Integrated Women’s Islamic Social Finance Empowerment (IWISE) Frame work that strategically combine zakat, waqf and Islamic micro finance with capacity development and partnerships initiatives in the sphere of women entrepreneurship and economic development. This framework will provide a policy road map for policy makers, Islamic institutions and entrepreneurs for effective utilization of Islamic philanthropic and financial resources to ensure that Islamic social Finance become instruments of inclusive and sustainable human development through empowerments of women.

Abstract

This paper explores the use of FinTech-enabled crowdfunding platforms to integrate Islamic social finance instruments with other similar instruments to enhance sustainable community development. It introduces the Integrated Islamic Crowdfunding and Social Finance Framework (IICSF) to integrate zakah, waqf, sadaqah, and digital crowdfunding to strengthen financial inclusion, institutional transparency, community involvement and sustainable socio-economic development. This study adopts a qualitative research methodology based on document analysis of classical Islamic legal sources and modern literature in Islamic social finance, FinTech, digital philanthropy and sustainable development. The study adopts a conceptual and analytical approach that combines classic Islamic philanthropic principles with cutting-edge digital financial technologies and integrates fragmented streams of scholarship on these areas into an integrative framework. The study found that integrating Islamic social finance with digital crowdfunding may strengthen resource mobilisation, enhance financial transparency, improve efficiency and accountability, encourage donor participation, distribute charitable funds equitably. FinTech such as mobile payment systems, artificial intelligence, block-chain, smart contracts, and digital identification management can build accountability and minimize operational expenses and fraud, as well as restoring public confidence. IICSF creates a collaborative setting amongst financial and civic organisations, including Islamic finance institutions, waqf boards, zakah agencies, crowdfunding portals, regulators, FinTech companies, social entrepreneurs, and the local community. It can also facilitate the financing of poverty eradication, affordable housing and education programmes, access to healthcare, climate action, youth entrepreneurship, and social ventures, among others, and has the potential to contribute significantly to a more inclusive and sustainable community development. This study introduces for the first time the Integrated Islamic Crowdfunding and Social Finance Framework (IICSF) as a comprehensive conceptual model for the integration of Islamic social finance instruments of zakah, waqf, and sadaqah, with FinTech-enabled crowdfunding. The framework addresses how Islamic philanthropic organisations could utilize digital financial technologies to foster greater financial inclusion, improved institutional accountability and performance, community participation and accelerated development. The integrative framework provides a model for a modern Islamic social finance approach capable of meeting social needs of contemporary global societies.

Abstract

Entrepreneurship has been widely acknowledged as a significant engine for job creation, innovation, poverty reduction and inclusive economic growth in recent times. For developing economies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), entrepreneurship fosters overall economic resilience and sustainable development. Despite the critical role of entrepreneurship, many aspiring entrepreneurs continue to face substantial challenges such as limited access to finance, poor business support services, a lack of technical expertise, weak institutional networks, and confined markets. Often, classical modes of financing have excluded a significant proportion of the most disadvantaged groups because of their collateral requirements, high finance costs, and poor capital access. From an Islamic economic viewpoint, waqf has long served diverse purposes; however, in most instances its function has mostly focused on education, business ventures, community infrastructure and the welfare of society. The purpose of this article is to conceptualize how waqf can be redefined as a sustainable institution to enhance entrepreneurship development and build inclusive Islamic entrepreneurial ecosystem. This paper proposes the Waqf-Based Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Framework (WBEEF) that encompasses productive waqf, entrepreneurship development, business incubation, Islamic finance, digital innovation, and institutional collaboration to support sustainable enterprise creation and enhance sustainable economic resilience. The present study used qualitative research methods and followed documentary analysis and literature review method. In this regard, both classical Islamic legal sources and modern literatures of waqf, Islamic economics, entrepreneurship, SME development, business ecosystem theory, innovation and sustainable development have critically analyzed. Through a conceptual and analytical analysis of existing literature, an integrated research has carried out linking Islamic philanthropic institutions to the development of entrepreneurial ecosystem. This study identifies that productive waqf has significant potential to foster entrepreneurship by providing seed capital, vocational training, business incubation centres, shared facilities, market development initiatives, research and innovation hubs, digital infrastructure, and other business development support services. Furthermore, an integration of waqf with Islamic banks and other Islamic financial institutions, universities, government agencies, technology organizations, business associations, and corporations could stimulate local entrepreneurial capabilities, alleviate financial exclusion, and facilitate sustainable business development. The WBEEF has built productive partnerships amongst these actors to develop youth ventures, women-owned businesses, halal and green enterprises, agricultural innovations, and social entrepreneurships, which foster economic opportunities, technology, wealth generation and economic growth within Islamic ethical framework of social justice, equity and responsibility. This paper, by conceptualizing a new framework in the context of Islamic economics, presents an original contribution in repositioning the institution of waqf from its conventional perception as only for charitable/religious affairs towards a sustainable entrepreneurial resource for inclusive business growth and socio-economic development. The Waqf-Based Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Framework (WBEEF) provides an innovative practical guideline and policy agenda for waqf institutions, Islamic finance organizations, government and public sector authorities, policy makers, entrepreneurs and development actors in leveraging waqf resources for strengthening SMEs development, job creation, poverty reduction and economic resilience in conformity with the broader social welfare objectives of Islamic economics.
