Abstract

Research on the development of professional competencies among Islamic Religious Education (IRE) teachers is still largely dominated by studies from regions with relatively adequate access to education. In contrast, peripheral regions such as Papua, which present geographical and social complexities, have not yet received much in-depth attention. The main purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the key structural, infrastructural, and cultural challenges that influence the competency development process of IRE teachers. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using a phenomenological method, through field observations and in-depth interviews with IRE teachers at three senior high schools in the City of Jayapura. Study results show that IRE teachers face structural challenges in the form of education policy that does not align and less accommodating to local conditions; infrastructural challenges in the form of limited facilities, technology, and financial support; as well as cultural challenges that include the low level of appreciation to the role of religious education teachers and dominance of local values that do not support education innovation The main finding of this study indicates that the development of professional competency among Islamic Religious Education teachers in Papua is hindered by interconnected structural, infrastructural, and cultural challenges, thereby necessitating a holistic and contextually grounded approach to teacher capacity building.

Abstract

The Muslim Marriage and Divorce Act No. 13 of 1951 (MMDA) provides a distinct legal framework governing marriage, divorce, polygamy, guardianship, Quazi court procedures, and maintenance among Sri Lankan Muslims. Debates over its reform have generated significant internal polarization. Reformist groups advocate amendments that respond to contemporary social realities, particularly women's rights and procedural justice. In contrast, conservative groups argue that any reform must remain consistent with Islamic Sharia, religious norms, and established customary practices (ʿurf). This study examines expert perceptions of the most contested issues in the proposed MMDA reforms. Using a quantitative descriptive design, 300 self-administered questionnaires were distributed to legal and religious scholars, Quazi judges, Arabic college principals, academics, postgraduate students, and prominent Muslim community leaders. A total of 250 valid responses were analyzed using SPSS version 24. The findings indicate strong support for several reforms, including the introduction of clear eligibility criteria for Quazis, supported by 94.3% of respondents; strengthening women's maintenance rights by considering husbands' income, 84%; requiring women's consent in marriage contracts, 75%; and establishing separate Quazi court operations, 88%. Respondents also showed moderate support for setting a minimum marriage age, 53%, and regulating the conditions of polygamy. However, resistance remained toward women's autonomous partner selection, the appointment of female Quazis, the removal of the term "sect," and the expansion of the law to include all madhhabs. The study concludes that MMDA reform in Sri Lanka requires a balanced legal approach that reconciles Islamic legal authority, community identity, gender justice, and contemporary standards of procedural fairness.
