Abstract

This study explores the Qur’anic perspective on human trafficking through a thematic analysis of QS An-Nur 33 and QS Yusuf 19–20. The objective is to interpret the linguistic meanings of al-bighāʾ, syarā, and milk al-yamīn, and to map their alignment with the tripartite definition of the Palermo Protocol in order to formulate an Islamic ethical framework for combating trafficking. The research employs a qualitative library research method, integrating classical and contemporary tafsir (Ibn Kathir, al-Maraghi, Quraish Shihab) with human rights literature. Linguistic analysis reveals that the three Qur’anic terms represent the act, means, and purpose of modern exploitation. The interpretation of QS An-Nur 33 emphasizes the prohibition of forced prostitution and the protection of women's dignity, while the interpretation of QS Yusuf 19–20 critiques child commodification and highlights the trauma experienced by victims. Mapping these interpretations onto the Palermo Protocol uncovers a complete correspondence with the elements of act, means, and purpose, thereby reinforcing the legitimacy of Sharia in criminalizing trafficking. The synthesis of the values of ʿadl (justice), raḥmah (compassion), and karāmat al-insān (human dignity) generates an ethical paradigm that underpins legislation, faith-based advocacy, and rehabilitation programs. The findings affirm that the Qur’an not only aligns with but also enriches the international legal framework with spiritual motivation. Practical implications include issuing fatwas equivalent to ḥirābah, allocating zakat for victims, and developing anti-trafficking education curricula

Abstract

This study revisits the prohibition of khamr through a multidisciplinary lens to address the challenges of modern addictive substance abuse. Its objective is to test the compatibility of the Qur'anic prohibition with evidence from neuroscience and toxicology, while simultaneously formulating a contextual Islamic legal framework. This study develops an epistemological convergence matrix that maps neurobiological and toxicological indicators as the ‘illah (effective cause) of law within the framework of Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah. The methodology combines a thematic exegesis (tafsīr mawḍū‘ī) of verses on khamr, a comparative analysis of five schools of jurisprudence (madhāhib), and a synthesis of laboratory data on the neurological, physiological, and social damage caused by alcohol, cocaine, heroin, and synthetic psychoactive substances. Validity is maintained through triangulation with experts in exegesis, neurology, and toxicology. The findings indicate an expansion of the definition of khamr from fermented beverages to the functional category of “any substance that envelops the intellect.” Brain imaging reveals a reduction in dopamine receptors and hypofunction of the prefrontal cortex; toxicological data show a narrow margin of exposure and systemic organ damage. A matrix based on Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah affirms that addictive substances simultaneously threaten the preservation of intellect (ḥifẓ al-‘aql), life (ḥifẓ al-nafs), property (ḥifẓ al-māl), progeny (ḥifẓ al-nasl), and religion (ḥifẓ al-dīn). The convergence of exegesis and science yields an integrated policy model: legal prohibition, neuroscience-based education, and spiritual rehabilitation proven to reduce relapse rates. This study concludes that the Qur'anic prohibition of khamr possesses strong empirical rationality, while also providing an ethical foundation for narcotics regulation in contemporary Muslim societies. The findings underscore the importance of sustained transdisciplinary dialogue to respond to the emergence of new synthetic substances and to evaluate the effectiveness of Maqāṣid-based policies.
