Abstract

This study aims to obtain a comprehensive understanding of zakat management by integrating library research with field findings. Data were collected through literature review, observation, and in-depth interviews at the Regional Amil Zakat Agency (BAZDA) of Binjai City, North Sumatra Province, which served as the primary research site and respondent. Using a case study approach, the analysis was conducted in two stages: exploring, which involves breaking down complex phenomena into detailed components, and describing, which reconstructs these components in accordance with scientific analytical standards. All data were analyzed qualitatively and descriptively, referring to relevant theories and positive legal provisions related to zakat. The results show that zakat management at BAZDA Binjai City has been implemented in accordance with Islamic principles and national regulations, particularly Law Number 38 of 1999 on Zakat Management. The management of ZIS is carried out through three main stages: collection, distribution, and utilization of funds. BAZDA Binjai City provides various mechanisms for zakat payment, including direct submission, bank transfers, and collaboration with Zakat Collection Units (UPZ) across multiple institutions. These findings confirm that zakat management by BAZDA Binjai City meets the standards of accountability, legal compliance, and effectiveness in community empowerment.

Abstract

This article discusses the representation of cultural intersection in M.H. Szekely-Lulofs' novel Kuli, a colonial text that records the lives of indentured laborers on Deli plantations. Starting from the multi-ethnic historical context of North Sumatra, this research highlights how cross-ethnic encounters—Javanese, Sundanese, Madurese, Betawi, Malay, and even Chinese—are constructed through stereotypes, conflict, and power relations. Lulofs, a Dutch-descended female writer, uses her personal experiences in Deli as both the setting and the medium to depict a fragmented social reality. Utilizing the perspective of literary sociology, the analysis is directed towards two main aspects: first, ethnic diversity as the foundation of Deli society, shaped by migration and colonization; and second, intersectional conflicts arising as a consequence of differences in ethnic identities and representations within the narrative. The novel Kuli presents ethnic stereotypes in layers: Betawi people are depicted as arrogant, Madurese as tough, Sundanese as polite, and even Chinese who are socially and economically marginalized. This stereotype is not only an identity marker but also a source of conflict that culminates in intergroup violence. Inter-ethnic intersection is depicted ambiguously—on one hand, it gives rise to "ship brother" solidarity, while on the other, it triggers exclusion and criminalization. The novel Kuli, therefore, presents plurality as an arena of tension, where ethnic representations operate within a colonial framework that reinforces social hierarchies

Abstract

Environmental issues and sustainability cannot be separated from the ways societies construct meaning and values through language. In religious societies, religious discourse plays a strategic role in shaping collective environmental awareness and influencing related social practices. This article aims to conceptually analyze the role of language and religious discourse in constructing environmental awareness and its implications for ecology-based socio-economic practices. The study employs a library research method using a critical-conceptual approach to national and international literature on discourse analysis, ecolinguistics, and studies of religion and environment. The findings indicate that religious language functions as a medium of moral legitimation that frames human–nature relationships through narratives, metaphors, and normative categories. Religious discourse emphasizing responsibility, balance, and environmental care contributes to the formation of a more stable and collective ecological awareness. Such awareness can subsequently be translated into social practices, including ecology-based economic activities, which are understood as forms of social praxis culturally and symbolically legitimized through language. This article highlights that linguistic approaches, particularly critical discourse analysis and ecolinguistics, offer significant contributions to understanding religious language as a cultural foundation for social transformation toward environmental sustainability.

Abstract

This study examines how environmentally oriented local wisdom embedded in religious traditions can function as a strategy for community economic empowerment. Environmental degradation and rural economic vulnerability require approaches that integrate ecological sustainability with culturally legitimate economic practices. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis involving religious leaders, traditional authorities, and local micro-entrepreneurs. The findings reveal that religious traditions institutionalize ecological values through norms, rituals, and social sanctions that regulate natural resource use and shape production practices. These values generate social and symbolic capital that strengthens trust, collective action, and market legitimacy for environmentally friendly local products. However, economic pressures and market demands may weaken normative compliance when material incentives are absent. This study demonstrates that religious traditions are not merely symbolic cultural expressions but can be reconstructed as strategic resources for sustainable economic empowerment. The novelty of this research lies in conceptualizing religiously embedded local wisdom as an operational framework linking environmental ethics, social capital, and community-based economic practices. The study contributes to interdisciplinary debates on religion, local culture, and sustainable development by proposing an integrative model of value-based economic empowerment.

Abstract

This study investigates how religious narratives about nature shape sustainable economic behavior within local communities. Environmental degradation and economic vulnerability require approaches that integrate ethical values with everyday economic practices. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis involving religious leaders, educators, and local economic actors. The findings indicate that religious narratives construct nature as a moral trust and frame environmentally friendly practices as forms of spiritual responsibility. These narratives influence economic decision-making by guiding choices in production and consumption, particularly through themes of moral accountability, balance, and collective welfare. The study also reveals a tension between normative religious commitments and market pressures, which limits the translation of moral narratives into consistent sustainable practices, especially at the production level. This research demonstrates that religious narratives function not only as moral discourse but also as symbolic mechanisms that mediate between environmental ethics and economic behavior. The novelty of this study lies in integrating narrative analysis with the study of sustainable economic behavior, offering an interpretive framework that explains how symbolic meanings influence material economic choices. The findings contribute to interdisciplinary debates on religion, discourse, and sustainable development by highlighting the role of meaning-making processes in shaping.

Abstract

This study explores the role of language and religion in constructing a green culture within local economic communities. Environmental degradation and economic vulnerability require approaches that integrate ecological values with culturally embedded meaning systems. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis involving local economic actors, religious leaders, and community figures. The findings reveal that religious language frames nature as a moral and spiritual trust, while religious teachings provide normative boundaries for economic activities. These discursive and ethical processes contribute to the formation of a green culture that influences production practices, marketing strategies, and consumption patterns. Green culture is manifested through restrained resource use, symbolic differentiation of products based on religious and ecological identity, and increased social trust toward environmentally responsible businesses. However, market pressures and structural economic constraints limit the consistent application of green values in practice. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative analysis of religious language and green culture as symbolic mechanisms that mediate between environmental ethics and local economic practices. The findings contribute to interdisciplinary discussions on language, religion, and sustainable local development by highlighting the importance of meaning-making processes in shaping ecological economic behavior.

Abstract

This study examines the integration of cultural values and religious language in the development of environmentally friendly micro-enterprises. Environmental challenges and market pressures require business strategies that are not only technically sustainable but also culturally and morally legitimate. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis involving micro-entrepreneurs, religious leaders, and community figures. The findings indicate that cultural values shape production practices by emphasizing harmony with nature and limits on resource exploitation, while religious language frames business activities in moral terms such as trust, blessing, and prohibition of environmental harm. This integration influences three key dimensions of micro-enterprise development: sustainable production practices, moral legitimacy in business communication, and symbolic differentiation of products based on local and religious identity. However, market competition and limited access to capital and technology constrain the consistent application of these values in practice. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative analysis of cultural values and religious language as symbolic mechanisms that translate environmental ethics into business strategies. The findings contribute to interdisciplinary discussions on culture, religion, and green micro-enterprise development by demonstrating how meaning-making processes shape economic practices..
