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

This paper examines the potential of the 'Maqasid al-Shariah' to serve as a moral and institutional framework that contributes towards meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper, aims to present the Islamic economic system as a comprehensive framework to promote inclusive growth, social justice and sustainable human well being and thus provides an Islamic integrative framework to tackle the global Sustainable development challenges. This research adopts qualitative approach of research, that mostly depends on literature review, which encompasses the study of classical sources of Islamic literature as well as current publications on Islamic Economics, Maqasid al-Shariah, international development policy, social finance. A conceptual and analytical technique would be used to build on current body of research, to conceptualize the bridge between the principles of Islamic Economics and a broader set of global sustainable development goals. The result shows that Islamic economics has a moral and institutional foundation towards sustainable development; greater than the current economic growth focused on development models. Several principles in Islamic economics like, justice (adl), public interest (maslahah), co-operation and assistance (takaful), trusteeship (khilafah) as well as moderation (wasatiyyah) are in close correlation with the aspirations of SDGs, and take the SDGs further with moral and spiritual context. Islamic social finance instruments like Zakah, Waqf and Sadaqah can also serve as significant tools to implement SDGs in the context of poverty eradication, financial inclusion, education and health services, as well as environmental health and resilience of the economy to tacle the future challenges. Based on the above discussion, the paper proposes a conceptual model titled, 'Maqasid-SDG Integrated Development framework (MSIDF)', that could be utilized as guidelines to align the Islamic economics institution to achieving a sustainable and decent human well being. The study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by changing the scope of the study from an examination of Islamic finance to the exploration of the potential of Islamic economics to provide a comprehensive ethical framework for a sustainable and inclusive development in the world.

Abstract

Scientific research is central to knowledge advancement, innovation, human wellbeing, and civilizational development, yet many research systems face persistent challenges of inadequate and unsustainable funding, institutional capacity, and research autonomy. Historically, waqf supported educational institutions, libraries, healthcare, and scholarly activities, but its potential as a contemporary mechanism for sustainable scientific research remains insufficiently explored. This study examines the potential integration of Maq??id al-Wa?y and waqf-based funding as an institutional framework for sustainable scientific research and knowledge production. A qualitative conceptual and analytical approach was employed through a critical review of classical and contemporary Islamic scholarship on Maq??id al-Wa?y, waqf, Islamic philanthropy, and contemporary research and innovation systems. The findings indicate that waqf can serve as a sustainable and complementary source of research funding when supported by effective governance, professional management, transparent allocation mechanisms, and clearly defined developmental objectives. The study consequently proposes a Maq??id al-Wa?y–Waqf Research Funding Framework for supporting interdisciplinary research in areas such as artificial intelligence, health sciences, environmental sustainability, biotechnology, digital technologies, and education. The framework emphasizes collaboration among researchers, universities, research institutions, policymakers, philanthropists, religious organizations, industry, and communities. The study contributes conceptually by repositioning waqf from predominantly charitable expenditure toward long-term social investment in knowledge production and innovation, while providing a revelation-centred ethical orientation for research directed toward human wellbeing and sustainable development. As a conceptual study, the framework requires empirical validation through future institutional, comparative, and field-based research.

Abstract

This research aims to design and develop a prototype of an automatic warm water shower using sound sensors and ultrasonic sensors based on Arduino Uno. The research method uses steps from the Research and Development (R & D) Approach. The automatic warm water shower prototype developed allows users to carry out bathing activities more efficiently and comfortably, avoids wasting water due to negligence in closing the tap, and provides an automatic warm water feature. How the automatic warm water shower prototype works using a sound sensor and an ultrasonic sensor based on Arduino Uno. If the ultrasonic sensor detects the presence of an object within a distance of 30 cm, the ultrasonic sensor will activate the solenoid valve which acts as an automatic tap in turning on the tap, but when the ultrasonic sensor does not detect any the presence of an object, the ultrasonic sensor will deactivate the solenoid valve so that the tap will close automatically. If the user wants to take a shower using warm water, the user simply claps his hands and then the sound of the clapping activates the sound sensor, then the sound sensor will activate the water heater which functions as a heater. This research produces prototypes of automatic faucets and automatic hot water showers which show the potential for integrating technology into everyday bathing devices to increase user efficiency and comfort and avoid wasting water.

Abstract

Green entrepreneurship in emerging Muslim economies faces persistent financing constraints arising from high perceived investment risks, limited availability of patient capital, underdeveloped green-finance markets, and restricted access to early-stage venture financing. Although decentralized finance (DeFi) has introduced blockchain-enabled mechanisms for broadening financial participation and improving the efficiency of capital mobilization, its potential integration with Shar??ah-compliant Islamic social finance remains insufficiently explored. This study addresses this gap by proposing a DeFi–Waqf Green Venture Financing Ecosystem that positions digital waqf as a catalytic source of patient capital within a decentralized architecture for financing environmentally sustainable ventures. The study adopts a qualitative conceptual research design based on a systematic review and thematic synthesis of interdisciplinary literature on DeFi, blockchain technology, digital waqf, Islamic finance, sustainable finance, green entrepreneurship, and venture capital. The analytical framework draws upon Maq??id al-Shar??ah, Islamic social finance principles, and sustainable-finance perspectives to examine the institutional and technological conditions required for an ethically grounded decentralized financing ecosystem. The proposed framework integrates tokenized waqf assets, smart contracts, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), blockchain-based transparency mechanisms, and complementary Islamic financing instruments to facilitate the mobilization, governance, and allocation of capital to green ventures. Waqf is conceptualized not merely as a charitable endowment but as a potentially catalytic and perpetual source of mission-aligned capital capable of reducing financing barriers for early-stage sustainable enterprises. Tokenization may broaden participation in waqf-supported investment ecosystems, while smart contracts can support transparent contractual arrangements, automated administration, and accountable distribution mechanisms, subject to appropriate legal, regulatory, technological, and Shar??ah governance. The study extends existing Islamic FinTech scholarship by moving beyond applications focused primarily on payments, crowdfunding, and administrative digitalization toward the institutional integration of decentralized finance, Islamic social finance, and green venture capital. The resulting framework demonstrates how waqf can serve as an institutional bridge between philanthropic capital, private investment, technological innovation, and climate-oriented entrepreneurship in emerging Muslim economies. The study contributes theoretically by connecting Islamic social finance with decentralized financial architecture and sustainable venture financing, and practically by identifying governance and policy considerations for regulators, waqf institutions, Islamic financial institutions, technology providers, investors, and green entrepreneurs. It concludes that a carefully governed DeFi–Waqf ecosystem could provide a promising complementary mechanism for mobilizing patient, ethical, and sustainability-oriented capital while advancing the broader objectives of inclusive economic development, environmental stewardship, and the Maq??id al-Shar??ah.

Abstract

This study explores the role of harmonious families in shaping attitudes of tolerance within multicultural societies, analyzed through the lens of symbolic interaction theory. In this context, a harmonious family serves as the primary social unit that provides a foundation for individuals to understand and appreciate social, cultural, and religious differences. Using a qualitative research approach based on a literature review, the study examines how symbolic interactions within the family, including open communication and constructive conflict resolution, foster tolerant attitudes toward diversity. The analyzed data indicate that harmonious families can instill values of empathy, fairness, and respect for differences, which are essential in multicultural societies. The study finds that families with open communication patterns and strong emotional support are more likely to produce individuals capable of resolving conflicts peacefully and contributing to inclusive communities. However, the study acknowledges limitations in empirical data and recommends further field research to explore the relationship between harmonious families and the development of tolerance in diverse environments. The findings of this study are expected to provide insights for policymakers and educators in strengthening the role of families in creating tolerant and peaceful societies.
