Abstract

The sharp polarization caused by the general election in Indonesia has created a new phenomenon of intolerance which breaks unity and oneness. This polarization is also increasingly sharpened by the existence of elements that take advantage of this polarization for the interests of groups and classes, thus creating a climate of identity politics that is extreme left or right. Efforts to reduce this polarization need to be continuously developed. The development of religious moderation is an important step in addressing identity politics. Each party exists with various identities, both ethnicity, race and religion. Religious moderation plays a role in creating a conducive situation for each religion to grow and develop as one of the basic rights guaranteed by law. The author criticizes as well as provides suggestions from the results of a qualitative analysis of the literature on efforts to develop religious moderation. With the development of religious moderation, it is hoped that the polarization caused by identity politics will not become too extreme and disrupt the life of the nation and state.

Abstract

Worldview Islam means that Muslims use their religious understanding in actualizing progressive and constructive religious moderation which can balance the effect of digital disruption. Digital disruption has brought about an era filled with challenges, crises and threats. On the other hand, it provides hope, a great opportunity for the dissemination of knowledge, especially in the context of Muslims as agents of moderation and drivers of civilization. This article contains how Muslims need to formulate ways and future agendas to develop an Islamic worldview by enriching the tarjih method to actualize progressive religious moderation in an era of digital disruption in every sector. Digital disruption should be able to provide added value from the actualization of modern Muslims who are still able to align it with the guidelines from the al-Quran and as-Sunnah. Digital disruption should be able to become a medium for increasing public literacy towards the universal ethical values ??offered by Islam.

Abstract

Islamophobia has recently become more prevalent, both in the West and in Muslim nations. Social media contributes to the dissemination of anti-Islamic material. Religious moderation needs to find a way to moderate arising issues in society to avoid extremism, especially Islamophobia. This essay will look at ways to rejuvenate social media in an effort to combat Islamophobia. Using a qualitative methodology and analytical descriptive approaches, the core reasons for Islamophobia's growth and the ability of social media to combat it are investigated. According to the study's findings, Islamophobia is mostly caused by a misunderstanding of Islam and Muslim culture. Social media, when utilized wisely, has the ability to serve as a tool for public education about Islam, recovering its image as a religion of peace and salvation. The strategies that can be implemented include being moderate, critical, and responsive to Islamophobic content and educating about the wise use of social media. Active participation from all elements of society is needed to revitalize the role of social media in countering the negative impacts of Islamophobia and creating a better understanding in the middle of the community.

Abstract

The Waqf Business Model (WBM) represents an innovative and transformative approach to establishing a sustainable social business model within mainstream economics, rooted in Islamic economic principles. This paper explores the current state of waqf as an alternative model for social business, emphasizing its ability to combine social impact with long-term economic sustainability by preserving assets and generating ongoing revenue. It also advocates for integrating WBM into the mainstream economy to serve as a powerful mechanism for addressing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The paper highlights the challenges faced by traditional Islamic economic institutions, particularly waqf, which have struggled due to outdated management practices and a conceptual crisis regarding the role of waqf in modern economies. Revitalizing waqf institutions requires enhancing their capabilities and aligning them with contemporary business strategies. Additionally, this paper encourages future research to explore how WBM can be fully integrated into the existing economic ecosystem. In theory, WBM provides a framework for ethical and inclusive economies, while in practice, it has the potential to create self-sustaining institutions that reduce reliance on external aid, offering an innovative solution to global socio-economic challenges by blending sustainable innovation.

Abstract

This article examines Prophet Muhammad's strategic and innovative leadership during the Battle of the Trench, a pivotal event in early Islamic history. Faced with a large confederate army, Muhammad adopted the unprecedented strategy of digging a trench around Medina, demonstrating his adaptability and inclusiveness by accepting a Persian companion's suggestion, Salman al-Farsi. This tactic effectively neutralized the enemy's advantage, highlighting Muhammad’s foresight and strategic acumen which can only be seen if we read the references in detail and feel the tense occurred on that day. The analysis of this article focuses on Muhammad's leadership qualities, including visionary strategy, resilience, ethical conduct, and inspirational influence. These attributes were crucial in uniting and motivating the Muslim community under extreme adversity. The successful defence of Medina not only solidified the Muslim community but also set new precedents in military tactics and ethical warfare, influencing Islamic governance and leadership principles. The Battle of the Trench serves as a significant historical case study of strategic and ethical leadership shown by Muhammad in facing a direct enemy from outside and a potential internal enemy that turns up in that despairing situation. The insights drawn from Muhammad’s leadership approach are relevant to modern leadership and contemporary challenges, transcending religious and cultural contexts. This article contributes to the discourse on leadership, strategy, and crisis management, underscoring the enduring relevance of Muhammad's leadership principles which have proven effective in saving the situation.

Abstract

This paper discusses the critical issue of ethical communication, specifically controlling the tongue, a concept deeply embedded in Islamic teachings that holds profound relevance in today’s global context. As societies grapple with the pervasive problems of slander (fitna), discord, hatred, and bullying, the simple yet powerful ethical principle of tongue control emerges as a crucial tool for fostering harmony. In modern times, the spread of fake news and hoaxes has been widely discussed as an external threat to social cohesion, yet the internal discipline of speech—whether metaphorical or literal—has received far less attention. This paper seeks to address this gap by exploring how the Islamic insight to control one’s tongue can effectively prevent the spread of fitna, the escalation of hatred, the prevalence of bullying, and the rise of incivility, extremism, and radicalism. Through narrative construction, the paper examines the deep-seated negative impacts of these harmful practices and underscores the significance of verbal discipline in mitigating them. By highlighting the intrinsic value of controlling the tongue, the paper aims to present a holistic approach to curbing not only external threats like misinformation but also the internal moral lapses that contribute to societal discord, thereby promoting a more peaceful and just world in alignment with Islamic ethical principles.

Abstract

Marriage in Islam is a sacred and strong bond that aims to maintain self-respect and create a harmonious family life. Islam pays great attention to preserving marriage and preventing rifts that can destroy family harmony. However, in conditions that cannot be maintained, Islam regulates a way out through divorce with wise provisions, including the requirement for witnesses. There are differences of opinion among scholars regarding the requirement of witnesses in divorce. Some scholars do not require witnesses in divorce, while others consider it mandatory. This article examines the background of these differences of opinion and then provides an analysis using the ushul fiqh and maqashid sharia approaches. This approach focuses on a deep understanding of the existing evidence and the use of evidence by scholars to support their opinions. By understanding the concept of maqashid sharia, we can see that the presence of witnesses in divorce is in line with the objectives of Islamic law and provides legal certainty. The obligation to have witnesses in divorce, as also stated in Indonesian Family Law, is a stronger view in maintaining justice and ensuring protection for all parties, especially in dealing with the impact of divorce on children and families.
Buy Now Pay Later Transactions (BNPL) in Indonesia: Implications for Maqāṣid Sharia in the Digital Era Firdaus, Beni; Fauzan, Fauzan; Yenti, Endri; Yufriadi, Ferdi; Rahmiati, Rahmiati; A Afifi, Abdullah

Abstract

Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) services have gained significant popularity among Indonesian customers, particularly within the younger demographic that values convenience and flexibility in online shopping. This research uses a qualitative approach to examine the applications of Islamic law on the utilization of BNPL inside digital transactions in Indonesia, while also assessing its effects on consumer behavior and economic stability. The findings indicate that although Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) provides ease and accessibility for consumers, substantial obstacles exist in aligning this practice with maqāṣid sharia principles, especially with usury and consumer protection issues. Factors such as financial literacy, governmental laws, and product transparency significantly impact the adoption of BNPL, shaping customer comprehension and utilization of these services. Islamic financial institutions bear a significant obligation to deliver several itemsthat not only meet the demands of consumers but also sharia compliance. As such, this research contributes to strengthening the integration between digital technology and the financial system, as well as supporting sustainable economic growth that is compliant with Shariah principles.

Abstract

During the 1950s, Sumitro Djojohadikusumo contributed in a significant manner to the construction of the economy of Indonesia, along with other figures, namely Mohammad Hatta, Sjafruddin Prawiranegara, and Djuanda Kartawidjaja. During this period, Sumitro promoted policies to drive industrialization in Indonesia and self-reliance to transform Indonesia from a colonial economy into a developing nation. Soemitro Djojohadikusumo’s economic policies were pivotal in shaping Indonesia’s post-colonial economy; focusing on production and industrial sovereignty, he emphasized reducing dependency on imports by fostering domestic industries, especially strategic sectors like heavy industry and natural resource processing, which he saw as crucial to national sovereignty. Soemitro also promoted stimulating economic activities through both public investment and private sector engagement, aiming to diversify the economy and drive sustained growth. Many of the challenges Soemitro addressed, such as infrastructural gaps and weak technological readiness, which remain relevant today. This research analyzes to what extent the economic policy shaped by Sumitro impacts Indonesia’s development. This analysis has significance in understanding Indonesia’s contemporary economic planning and trends, particularly in terms of economic policy shaped by the newly elected President of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto. Analysis of Sumitro’s policy is conducted through the lenses of the industrial maturity concept, which is relevant to growth theory, resource-based view, and development economics. Indonesia’s pursuit of industrial maturity is crucial for transforming its raw resource-based economy into one that competes globally by adding value to domestic production. The need to revitalize manufacturing and strengthen downstream industries is critical for boosting competitiveness and integrating circular economic principles that emphasize sustainability. Soemitro’s vision of empowering society aligns with modern approaches to creating a more inclusive economy. However, infrastructure bottlenecks, a lagging education system, and regulatory complexities continue to slow the progress. Addressing supply chain challenges through regional industrial clustering and focusing on efficiency will be vital for overcoming these barriers. Further empirical research is needed to explore how infrastructure, education reform, and regulatory simplification can enhance Indonesia’s industrial maturity and sustainable economic development.
