Abstract

This paper explores the pivotal role of Islam and Muslim scholars in advancing the science of history from the early days of Medina to the flourishing intellectual center of The House of Wisdom. This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the evolution of historical methodologies, preservation of historical knowledge, and cultural essence in both pre-Islamic and Islamic realms. Employing a qualitative research approach, the paper analyzes various genres of Islamic historical writing, including Tabaqat, Tarajim, geographical history, and universal history, as well as the methodologies used in documenting and analyzing historical events, such as logical interpretation, natural law interpretation, and speculative interpretation. Through an examination of libraries, scholars, and the transmission of historical knowledge, the paper highlights the enduring legacy of Islamic historiography and its impact on subsequent historiographical traditions. The research findings underscore the significance of Islamic historiography in shaping our understanding of the past and its ongoing relevance in modern academic research, while also suggesting avenues for future research to further explore the rich heritage of Islamic historical scholarship.

Abstract

This article argues that the world needs an alternative framework to international relations (IR) that is more inclusive, just and peaceful. The key principles of Islamic IR provide a comprehensive framework that emphasises justice, cooperation, consultation, and peace, forming a potential basis for global governance and the conduct of ethical diplomacy. It also showcases how Islamic principles challenge the dominant paradigms in IR, reinterprets traditional concepts like Dar al-Islam and Dar al-Harb by framing them within the context of ethical engagement and dialogue, and highlights the similarities between dominant IR theories and Islamic teachings. Finally, this article argues for the establishment of Islamic global governance in these challenging times in order to promote a more peaceful, just and equitable global order.

Abstract

This study focuses on the institutional and structural pedagogical barriers exacerbating the inefficiency of teacher training programs in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. With attempts to reform policies and improve pedagogical advances, the system remains stagnant due to perpetual underfunding, outdated syllabi, excessive student numbers in classrooms, poorly supervised teaching practice placements, and inadequate evaluation processes. Further, the study addresses gaps in credentialing systems, pedagogical frameworks not tailored to local cultures, and a pervasive deficiency of pedagogy experts. This paper seeks to portray the systemic barriers to adequate teacher preparation using a qualitative, interpretive methodology based on empirical observation and policy scrutiny. It advocates for contextually differentiated pedagogical changes that adapt to the local structural context while recognizing the framework. Enhancing prior learning assessments and instructional delivery also has relevance. Emphasizing the need to reform education strategies not based on borrowed frameworks will position the regions and global debates on the education gap issues in the educational context of the proposed findings.

Abstract

As the global economy grapples with rising inequality, technological disruption, and the socio-economic aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Universal Basic Income (UBI) has gained traction as a promising policy to promote economic security and social justice. This article examines UBI using a qualitative, conceptual, and normative approach, analysing its compatibility with key principles of Islamic economics, such as Zakat (mandatory almsgiving), Sadaqah (voluntary charity), Maslahah(public interest), and I’tidal (balance and moderation). By drawing on Islamic teachings, classical scholarship, and modern economic thought, the article argues that UBI aligns closely with Islamic ethical values and offers a practical, morally sound solution to addressing poverty and inequality. The paper further suggests that Malaysia, with its strong Islamic finance sector and advanced digital infrastructure, is well-positioned to pioneer the global rollout of UBI. Through descriptive and critical analysis and secondary data, it explores how Islamic financial tools like Waqf, Sukuk, and a reformed Zakat system could sustainably fund UBI. In doing so, Malaysia has the opportunity to lead in developing a transformative economic model inspired by Islamic principles.
