Abstract

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of Islamic banks has a significant impact on developing customer awareness and promoting Islamic banking products and services. Islamic banks of Bangladesh are highly motivated to practice Islamic CSR as Islam encourages to ensure welfare for everyone. This study got special attention on Philanthropic CSR. Two main objectives guided the study: to analyse the Philanthropic CSR activities of Islamic banks of Bangladesh, and to propose a framework of ICSR in the Islamic banking industry. A qualitative in-depth interview was conducted with sixteen informants, including eight Heads of public relations and eight members of the Shariah secretariat of eight full-fledged Islamic banks of Bangladesh. The informants were selected using the purposive sampling. The data were collected using a semi-structured interview questionnaire. Following the six stages of thematic analysis, the researchers analyzed the data. The results show that these banks emphasize ICSR activities, particularly, philanthropic CSR by Islamic, humanitarian, educational, and Ummah building services to develop and maintain a strong relationship with their internal and external publics. The study proposes a framework for ICSR. The application of the proposed ICSR framework can contribute to CSR and Islamic banking academia, industry, and Muslim Ummah.

Abstract

This study examines the ethical implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Islamic communication through a qualitative systematic review. Twenty-one peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2025 were selected through Google Scholar and manual screening. The review analyzes publication trends, research methodologies, and dominant thematic areas within existing literature. The findings indicate that most studies employ conceptual or qualitative approaches, with major themes encompassing AI and Islamic ethics, AI in Islamic education, AI-mediated religious communication, and AI governance frameworks. Several studies emphasize the risk of misinterpretation in AI-generated Qur’anic and Hadith content. Additional ethical concerns include deepfakes, surveillance practices, and algorithmic bias in recommendation systems. Conversely, the literature highlights opportunities for enhanced access to religious knowledge and innovative educational applications. Overall, this review demonstrates that while the current body of research offers valuable ethical insights, it remains predominantly conceptual, underscoring the need for comparative studies and empirical investigations into the application of AI in Islamic communication.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between media literacy and mental health awareness among university students in Bangladesh. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted among 120 university students of four public universities in Bangladesh. The data has been collected using a structured format of a questionnaire that measures media consumption behaviors, literacy skills, and mental health awareness levels of participants. The findings indicate that students with stronger media literacy skills demonstrate a greater ability to recognize inaccurate information, critically interpret media representations of mental health, and develop more informed attitudes toward mental health issues. The results also reveal a positive association between media literacy competencies and students’ awareness of mental health problems as well as their acceptance of non-stigmatizing portrayals of mental illness in media content. In addition, the study highlights that although students frequently engage with digital media platforms, their ability to critically evaluate mental health portrayals in media varies depending on their level of media literacy. These findings contribute to existing literature by providing empirical evidence from the Bangladeshi context, where research examining the relationship between media literacy and mental health awareness remains limited.
