Employing a cross-cultural approach, the research explores diverse perspectives through in-depth interviews and thematic analysis. The findings highlight the dynamic interplay between global influences and local religious traditions, revealing varying responses among individuals and communities.

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 investigates the relevance of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Islamic legal principles in shaping judicial reasoning in divorce by ṭalāq cases, with empirical attention directed toward a decision from the Selangor, Malaysia Religious Court. Objective: The primary objective is to examine how judicial reasoning incorporates Islamic legal norms, statutory requirements, and SDG commitments—particularly SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions), and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities)—in ensuring procedural justice, fairness, and the protection of vulnerable parties in family law disputes. Theoretical framework: The analysis draws upon Islamic family law, emphasizing maṣlaḥah, justice, and judicial discretion, combined with legal positivism and socio-legal jurisprudence. This framework allows for understanding how judges interpret textual provisions while simultaneously addressing broader social objectives aligned with the SDGs. Literature review: Existing scholarship highlights the significance of judicial discretion in Islamic family law, the evolving social dimensions of divorce litigation, and the tension between formal rules and contextual considerations. However, limited research explicitly addresses the integration of SDG principles into judicial reasoning in Muslim-majority jurisdictions, revealing a gap that this study seeks to fill by linking global development commitments with Islamic judicial practice. Method: Using a qualitative descriptive design, the study analyzes primary data derived from judicial interviews and official court documents, supported by secondary materials such as statutory instruments, Islamic legal texts, and contemporary academic literature. Results: The findings show that judges in Selangor apply a balanced approach that upholds procedural legality while considering the psychological, economic, and social welfare of both spouses. Judicial reasoning demonstrates sensitivity to gender equality, equitable access to justice, and family well-being—aligning implicitly with SDGs—while firmly grounded in Islamic legal principles. The decision-making process reflects harmonization between legal certainty, maṣlaḥah, and the pursuit of substantive justice. Implications: The study offers practical insights for policymakers, legal practitioners, and scholars seeking to integrate SDG-aligned values into Islamic family law jurisprudence. Novelty: Its key contribution lies in articulating how SDG commitments and Islamic legal principles converge within judicial reasoning, offering a new analytical lens for understanding contemporary divorce adjudication in Muslim legal systems.
