This paper examines the perspective of Madzhab al-Shafi'i's Islamic teachings on the challenges of women's empowerment in Kerala, India. It discusses the current socio-economic and legal issues affecting women's empowerment, and the impact of traditional gender roles and cultural norms on this progress. The study employs both qualitative and quantitative methods to review related literature and identify the various legal and cultural barriers women in Kerala face in their quest for equal rights and opportunities. Additionally, it includes semi-structured interviews with prominent Islamic scholars, women professionals, and government officials to analyze how Madzhab al-Shafi'i's teachings could address these challenges. The findings indicate that Madzhab al-Shafi'i's teachings have significant potential to transform Kerala's culture of inequality. Furthermore, these teachings could help bridge the gender gap by promoting mutual respect and understanding. In conclusion, the paper offers valuable insights into the dynamics of gender justice in Kerala and the potential of Madzhab al-Shafi'i's teachings to foster a more equal and just society. It suggests that Madzhab al-Shafi'i's writings should be considered when developing strategies to promote and sustain women's empowerment in such contexts.

The unique framework provided by Islamic banking and finance, which is based on social welfare, equity, and moral principles that forbid exploitative practices like interest (riba), makes it particularly pertinent to underprivileged groups that experience structural economic marginalization. Because of structural obstacles and a lack of trust, many vulnerable groups continue to be neglected by traditional financial institutions, even in spite of the expansion of financial inclusion initiatives. The purpose of this study is to investigate the ways in which Islamic financial instruments, including qard al-hasan (benevolent loans), zakat (almsgiving), waqf (endowment), and profit-and-loss sharing models like mudarabah and musharakah, can be used to advance economic justice and increase financial inclusion in these communities. Purposive sampling, case study analysis, content analysis, and documentary/secondary data are all used in this qualitative study to examine how Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) contribute to inclusive growth. Thematic analysis is employed to find trends and evaluate the success of Islamic finance projects relative to traditional financial methods. According to preliminary research, Islamic finance's ethical investment practices, wealth redistribution, and risk-sharing all greatly enhance social justice and economic empowerment. Conclusion: The study comes to the conclusion that incorporating Islamic finance into national financial inclusion plans can be a long-term solution to combat poverty and promote equitable growth. It also makes policy suggestions to fortify its institutional and legal foundation. Economic justice and financial inclusion for underserved populations can be greatly improved by incorporating Islamic banking concepts into national financial systems.

Climate change and environmental degradation have become major worldwide issues, particularly in poorer nations. There are still gaps in funding and community-level instruction for sustainable environmental practices, despite global commitments to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Although the Islamic institution of waqf, a type of perpetual charity endowment, has long been important for social welfare, little is known about how it might help with sustainability and environmental education. The purpose of this study is to investigate the applicability and potential of waqf in advancing sustainable development and environmental education. It looks at how waqf can be set up and used to support environmental initiatives, ecological literacy, and awareness-raising initiatives both inside and outside of Muslim communities. Using content analysis of original Islamic law sources, historical case studies, and modern waqf models from nations like Malaysia, Indonesia, and Turkey, a qualitative research approach was used. To learn more about real-world applications and difficulties, semi-structured interviews were also done with community leaders, environmental academics, and waqf officials. By creating eco-friendly schools, assisting research facilities, financing green technology, and supporting awareness campaigns based on Islamic ecological ideals, waqf can make a substantial contribution to environmental education and sustainable development, according to the study. Examples from history show that waqf holdings were historically utilized to protect public amenities and natural resources like forests and water sources. In certain nations with a majority of Muslims, contemporary waqf organizations are already starting to adjust to sustainability goals. However, because of a lack of knowledge, legal restrictions, and a lack of creativity in waqf management, this integration is still quite low. The scope of this study focuses on a few Muslim-majority nations with operational waqf organizations. Access to waqf administrative documents and some parties' reluctance to reveal financial strategies are further barriers to empirical data
