Abstract

Historically, Bangladesh has been host to numerous religious minorities, such as Buddhists, Hindus, Sheiks, Animists, and Atheists. It made a significant contribution to the continuation of social, political, and religious concord among people of many religious views after the liberation war. In varied communities like Bangladesh, religious concord is especially dependent on religious cooperation. This study used a mixed-method approach to investigate the dynamics of religious cohabitation in Bangladesh, depending on Islamic texts, particularly the Quran and Hadith, to provide background. In this study, the concepts and ideals that facilitate peaceful coexistence among various religious groups in Bangladesh are examined through an analysis of pertinent passages and teachings. The study also evaluates Bangladesh's current state of minority groups’ social, political, and religious rights. The study’s conclusions add to the conversation on religious coexistence and provide useful advice for promoting interfaith harmony and understanding in Bangladesh and elsewhere. The outcome demonstrates that Islam places a strong emphasis on treating minorities and individuals of all religions with respect and decency. Bangladesh is a multicultural country that is suitable for coexisting peacefully with individuals of different backgrounds. Regardless of caste or religion, people here are kind and considerate of one another. At times conflicts are seen between Muslims and non-Muslims as people think most of them are personal and political provocations.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the optimization of zakat, infaq, and sadaqah (ZIS) funds in improving human resource quality at the Asia Moslem Charity Foundation (YAM). The foundation focuses on managing ZIS funds to support various social programs, particularly in enhancing education and human resource capacity. Proper allocation of ZIS funds can significantly contribute to improving educational quality and the effectiveness of human resource development in the community. Theoretical Framework: The theoretical framework of this study is based on the principles of Islamic philanthropy and Shariah compliance, emphasizing the effective and transparent distribution of zakat funds for socio-economic development. Literature Review: Literature review findings highlight that previous studies have extensively discussed the role of zakat in poverty alleviation and economic empowerment but have not thoroughly explored its impact on human resource development within Islamic foundations. Methods: This research adopts a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data collection involved in-depth interviews with foundation managers, teachers, and beneficiaries, as well as document analysis related to ZIS fund management at YAM. Additionally, an evaluation of human resource programs funded by ZIS was conducted to determine their contribution to education and workforce development. Results: The results indicate that ZIS funds at YAM have been effectively utilized to support various educational programs, such as scholarships for underprivileged students, procurement of educational facilities, and teacher training. In the field of human resource development, ZIS funds have also been used for community-based training, digital skills development, and da’i (Islamic preacher) training. However, challenges remain, particularly regarding transparency in fund management and the need for improved coordination between divisions. Implications: The implications of this study emphasize the importance of strengthening financial accountability and strategic planning in ZIS fund distribution to enhance human resource quality. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in its in-depth analysis of the integration between ZIS fund management and strategies to improve human resource capacity within Islamic foundations. This study also provides practical recommendations for ZIS fund managers to enhance the effectiveness of fund allocation, ensuring broader social welfare impacts.

Abstract

Islamic communication is a comprehensive and ethical framework rooted in the teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah, emphasizing truthfulness, wisdom, respect, and responsibility. It plays a crucial role in Da’wah (Islamic preaching), education, interfaith dialogue, media, and digital discourse. As communication methods evolve, Islamic communication must adapt to modern platforms while maintaining its ethical foundations. This study explores the theoretical foundations, methodologies, contemporary applications, and challenges of Islamic communication. It highlights how traditional approaches, such as sermons and direct interpersonal dialogue, have transitioned into digital spaces, including social media, online learning, and global media platforms. While these developments offer new opportunities for outreach and engagement, they also pose challenges such as misinformation, unethical media practices, Islamophobia, and the commercialization of religious content. The research underscores the importance of media literacy, responsible digital engagement, and scholarly participation in ensuring that Islamic communication remains authentic, impactful, and aligned with Islamic ethical values. Furthermore, it presents future directions for strengthening Islamic communication, including the integration of modern technology, youth engagement, and ethical guidelines for digital Da’wah. By examining both traditional and contemporary dimensions, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of Islamic communication and its role in fostering knowledge, unity, and positive social change in an increasingly interconnected world.

Abstract

This study examines the situation of science education in Bangladesh, analyzing the effects of government changes and concentrating on the difficulties the educational system faces. The study is to shed light on curriculum, teacher preparation, and resource availability to enhance science education in both urban and rural settings. Semi-structured interviews, policy analysis, and a review of the literature were all part of the qualitative research methodology. In addition to interviews with elementary and secondary science teachers throughout Bangladesh, information was obtained from pertinent educational policies, scholarly publications, and reports. Teachers' opinions on the difficulties of teaching science, the availability of resources, and the efficacy of governmental reforms were all examined in the interviews. Recurring themes and patterns were found using thematic analysis. Results show that access to science education has increased, while there are still issues, especially in rural areas. Inadequate teacher preparation, a lack of resources, and an antiquated curriculum that impedes inquiry-based learning are major problems. Regional inequities and gaps in teacher skills persist despite government initiatives to promote digital education and infrastructure. To raise the standard of science education, the report emphasizes the necessity of ongoing investments in infrastructure upgrades, curricular reforms, and teacher development. A small sample size that might not accurately represent all regional contexts and possible bias in self-reported data are among the limitations. With its useful suggestions for resolving the issues and enhancing science instruction in Bangladesh, this study provides insightful information for researchers, educators, and policymakers.
