Abstract

This study explores university faculty members’ perceptions of integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into educational counseling, focusing on awareness, perceived usefulness, ethical implications, and institutional readiness. Using a descriptive quantitative design, data were collected from 250 faculty members at the University of Zawia through a structured questionnaire encompassing seven thematic domains. Participants were selected using a stratified random sampling technique to ensure balanced representation in academic disciplines and ranks. The results revealed generally high levels of awareness and positive attitudes toward AI applications in counseling. Faculty participants recognized the potential of AI to enhance efficiency, data management, and accessibility of counseling services. However, they expressed strong ethical and privacy concerns, particularly regarding data protection, bias, and the potential erosion of the human empathy central to counseling practice. Respondents also emphasized the need for structured training programs and institutional investment to strengthen technological readiness. The findings indicate that while cognitive acceptance of AI is high, affective and ethical reservations persist, reflecting the cultural emphasis on interpersonal trust and human connection in Arab academic contexts. Overall, the study underscores the importance of balancing technological innovation with ethical accountability and human values. It concludes that successful AI integration in university counseling requires a comprehensive framework encompassing staff development, policy guidance, and ethical safeguards to ensure that digital transformation remains human-centered and contextually appropriate.

Abstract

This study examines the students’ experiences, expectations, and perceptions of philosophy courses which is taught in non-philosophy major programs at the Faculty of Languages and Translation, University of Zawia, Libya. By using a mixed-methods research design, quantitative data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 250 undergraduate students from departments of English, French, Arabic and Italian languages. Qualitative insights were obtained from semi-structured interviews with 20 participants. The questionnaire was analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations), while interview transcripts were examined through thematic analysis to generate and triangulate key themes. The findings show that although students recognize philosophy as intellectually and ethically valuable, they consistently perceive it as abstract, demanding, and insufficiently connected to their academic specialization in language and translation studies. A notable gap emerges between students’ high expectations, particularly regarding critical thinking, ethical awareness, and practical relevance, and their actual learning experiences. Challenges related to conceptual complexity, philosophical language, teaching pace, and assessment methods were prominently reported. However, qualitative evidence indicates that students stay positively disposed toward philosophy and express strong willingness to engage with the subject when instructional barriers are reduced. The study argues that these challenges came primarily from pedagogical and curricular disintegration rather than from students’ rejection of philosophy itself. The paper concludes by offering context-sensitive pedagogical implications for teaching philosophy to non-specialists in Libyan higher education, emphasizing the need for applied, student-centered, and interdisciplinary approaches. These findings imply that philosophy courses for non-specialists in Libyan higher education should be redesigned through stronger curriculum integration with language and translation programs, student-centered instruction, and assessment formats that emphasize applied reasoning rather than memorization.

Abstract

This study analyzes the judicial regulation of polygamy in the Libyan family law using socio-legal and maqasid al-shariʿah framework. Focusing on Law No. 10 of 1984 on Marriage and Divorce and its amendments (1991, 1994, and the 2015 deletion of Article 13), the study traces how polygamy shifted from jurisprudential (fiqhi) permissibility to judicial restriction subject to authorization, contestation, and potential refusal. Using qualitative doctrinal analysis supported by socio-legal contextualization, the research examines how the authorization mechanisms have transformed polygamy from a private spousal privilege to a legally conditioned practice subject to state supervision and refusal. The findings show an institutional shift in the role of Libyan courts from verifying formal requirements to evaluating financial capacity, potential harm, and family welfare, especially after the 1994 “serious reasons” standard. The article argues that these restrictions are better understood as a maqasid-oriented understanding of justice and harm prevention rather than as a departure from Shariʿah. By linking statutory law, judicial discretion power, and socio-political context, the study contributes to the continuous debates on Islamic family law reform, the role of courts in Muslim-majority countries, and the normative foundations for regulating marital practices.

Abstract

The acculturation of Islam with local cultures in the Indonesian archipelago represents a unique historical phenomenon, distinct from the spread of Islam in other regions due to its peaceful, adaptive, and culturally embedded approach. This study aims to analyze and compare the patterns of Islamic acculturation with local traditions in three representative regions: Java (focusing on the Walisongo legacy and Slametan traditions), Kalimantan (specifically the Malay Sultanate of Sambas with its Tepuk Tepung Tawar and Saprahan rituals), and Sumatra (examining the Minangkabau philosophical-legal synthesis Adat Basandi Syarak, Syarak Basandi Kitabullah and Acehnese institutional dualism of Keuchik and Meunasah). Employing a qualitative library research method with a historical-comparative approach, this study analyzes primary sources such as ancient manuscripts (Salsilah Raja-Raja Sambas, Fathul 'Arifin), ethnographic literature, and contemporary scholarly works. The findings reveal three distinct acculturation typologies: cultural-dialogical in Java (negotiating form and substance), integrative-structural in Sambas (embedding Islam into ethnic identity and bureaucratic governance), and institutional-philosophical in Sumatra (resolving customary law with fiqh through legal compromise). Despite these divergent paths, the study confirms the unwavering preservation of Tawhid (the oneness of God) as the theological core, while Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) demonstrated remarkable flexibility by utilizing the concepts of 'urf (local custom) and maslahah (public interest) to harmonize with local wisdom. This research validates the theories of "Pribumisasi Islam" (Indigenization of Islam) and Vernacularization, demonstrating that Islam in the archipelago enriched, rather than erased, local cultural identities. The study recommends further ethnographic research to explore the contemporary resilience of these acculturated traditions in the face of modernization and puritanical movements.
