Abstract

This study assesses the socio-economic effects of productive zakat initiatives on mustahik empowerment in Indonesia through a quasi-experimental methodology employing Propensity Score Matching (PSM). Data from 160 participants across various Zakat Management Organizations were gathered April 2025. The study utilized a multifaceted empowerment paradigm encompassing economic, social, human capital, and psychological components to address gaps in Islamic social finance literature. Results indicate significant empowerment enhancements, evidenced by a 63.1% increase in the composite empowerment index (effect size d=2.29). Economic empowerment showed substantial benefits (72.7% rise, d=2.37), followed by human capital development (82.7% increase, d=2.54). Psychological well-being indicators demonstrated notable improvements in self-confidence (26.9%), life satisfaction (39.7%), and stress management (100%). Correlation analysis revealed mentorship quality as the strongest predictor of comprehensive empowerment (r=0.478, p<0.001). The research confirms the efficacy of integrating financial assistance with capacity-building initiatives, reinforcing theoretical models emphasizing holistic Islamic development. High participant satisfaction rates (92.5% rating ≥8/10) indicate program acceptance and sustainability potential. These findings strengthen strategies for achieving Sustainable Development Goals and provide evidence for effective zakat allocation policies. This research advances Islamic social finance methodology by demonstrating PSM's relevance in evaluating faith-based development interventions, establishing a robust framework for future impact assessments in Muslim-majority contexts.

Abstract

This study investigates the neurotheological reconstruction of Qur'anic foundations undertaken by Indonesian muhaddith operating within non-Arabcentric Islamic intellectual traditions, examining how these scholars negotiate classical hadith methodology alongside indigenous Indonesian spiritual epistemology and contemporary cognitive neuroscience. Employing a qualitative interpretive methodology integrating in-depth semi-structured interviews, critical discourse analysis of institutional texts, and ethnographic observation within Indonesian Islamic learning communities, this study systematically documents the epistemological strategies through which Indonesian muhaddith reconstruct the neurological and psychological dimensions of Qur'anic engagement beyond Arab-normative hermeneutical frameworks. The findings reveal that Indonesian muhaddith construct a distinctive form of epistemological double consciousness, theorize the collective neurotheological dimensions of Qur'anic recitation practice, and reconstruct the classical concept of nafs through the convergence of hadith anthropology, indigenous Javanese spiritual epistemology, and contemporary psychological science. The novelty of this study lies in its theorization of non-Arabcentric Islamic scholarship as a productive site of neurotheological innovation, demonstrating that cultural and cognitive diversity within global Muslim intellectual traditions constitutes an epistemological resource rather than a deviation from normative Islamic hermeneutical standards. Contribution: This study contributes by advancing neurotheological approaches in Islamic studies, repositioning non-Arabcentric scholarship as a locus of epistemological innovation, and offering an integrative framework linking hadith studies, Islamic anthropology, and cognitive science to explain the embodied and socially mediated dimensions of Qur’anic engagement.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between curricular transition quality and the religiosity–morality index of university students within the context of higher education reform. Contemporary curriculum changes increasingly emphasize holistic student development, including ethical and spiritual dimensions; however, empirical evidence on their impact remains limited. A quantitative correlational design was employed involving 285 undergraduate students who experienced both previous and newly implemented curricula at Universitas Muhmmadiyah Bandung. Data were collected using the Curricular Transition Quality Questionnaire (32 items) and the Religiosity–Morality Index Scale (28 items). Both instruments demonstrated strong psychometric properties, with factor loadings ranging from 0.724–0.892, Average Variance Extracted (AVE) above 0.50, Composite Reliability exceeding 0.90, and Cronbach’s alpha values above 0.89, indicating adequate validity and reliability. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The results reveal a significant positive relationship between curricular transition quality and the religiosity–morality index (β = 0.584, p < 0.001), with moderate explanatory power. Among the dimensions, implementation fidelity and faculty competence emerged as the strongest predictors. In conclusion, the quality of curriculum transition plays a substantial role in fostering students’ moral and religious development, although it is not the sole determinant. These findings highlight the importance of systematic, well-supported curriculum implementation as a strategic approach to promoting holistic student development in higher education.
