Abstract

AbstractThis research aims to examine the existing justice system in one of the Muslim countries in the world, namely Kuwait, which has undergone transformation due to the influence of the western legal system. This research is library research, namely research carried out by examining various related research and literature. The data source in this research is secondary data. The results of this research are that the grip of the Western legal system has changed the structure of the legal system in Kuwait. This can be seen in the legal system in Kuwait which has undergone a transformation, initially only influenced by Islam but currently also influenced by foreign legal systems, such as France, England and Egypt. This is due to the background of the Kuwaiti state which was once under the supervision of a foreign country such as England. The legal system in Kuwait has currently undergone a transformation, in the form of a combination of British common law, French civil law, Egyptian civil law and Islamic law (Shariah) by implementing the Sharia Law for its civil law. This causes the courts in Kuwait to be divided into three levels: the Court of First Instance, the Court of Appeal and the Court of Cassation. Within each of the three levels of courts, special boards or tribunals are created to adjudicate civil, criminal, commercial or financial, administrative, and personal status matters, and the courts may establish additional special councils or tribunals as necessary.

Abstract

This study examines the topic of women’s leadership, which has been a subject of discussion among classical and contemporary scholars, intellectuals, and the general public. The relevance of this discourse grows when viewed in the context of Generation Z, a generation shaped by rapid technological advancements. The study seeks to analyze the characteristics of Generation Z, the concept of women’s leadership, and perspectives on this issue through the lenses of gender equality and Islamic thought. Using a library research method and secondary data sources, this study adopts a descriptive qualitative analysis approach. The findings highlight diverse scholarly views on women’s leadership. While many classical scholars express reservations, some contemporary scholars adopt a more accepting stance. From a gender equality perspective, Islam emphasizes that men and women possess rights and responsibilities and upholds principles of justice for all individuals, irrespective of gender. While differing opinions persist, women today contribute actively in various fields, often based on competence rather than gender. For Generation Z, their distinctive characteristics provide potential for leadership. Leadership often starts with self-leadership, evolving gradually to encompass broader responsibilities. Effective leadership is portrayed as a developmental process rather than an immediate attainment of high-ranking roles.

Abstract

To encourage the formation of strong and harmonious families (sakinah, mawaddah, warahmah), the Directorate General of Islamic Community Guidance issued Decree No. 379 of 2018 on Pre-Marital Guidance for prospective brides and grooms. However, despite the launch of this initiative, divorce rates in West Sumatra continue to rise, raising concerns about the effectiveness of its implementation. This field study employs observational methods, interviews, and documentation, analyzed through a descriptive qualitative approach. The findings reveal several challenges faced by the Religious Affairs Office in West Sumatra, including limited funds, inadequate reference modules, and a shortage of certified facilitators. These challenges have been addressed through budget proposals, the use of existing ministry modules, and facilitator training. However, implementation remains suboptimal due to limited guidance time, inadequate material coverage, short session durations, basic teaching methods, and the absence of technical experts. These factors may contribute to the continued increase in divorce cases observed in the region.
