Abstract

This article explores the concept of religiosity in Islamic educational leadership through a comparative analysis of the thought of three prominent scholars: Al-Ghazali, Ibn Taymiyyah, and Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas. Employing a library research approach and content analysis method, the study examines how each thinker formulates the relationship between divine values, knowledge, and leadership responsibility within the context of education. The findings reveal a shared emphasis on the necessity of a spiritual foundation in leadership, yet each adopts a different approach: Al-Ghazali foregrounds the spiritual-ethical dimension through tazkiyat al-nafs (purification of the soul); Ibn Taymiyyah underscores a legalistic approach and the principle of amar ma’ruf nahi munkar (enjoining good and forbidding evil); while al-Attas highlights the cosmological and adabic dimension within the framework of the Islamisation of knowledge. The study proposes a conceptual typology of religiosity-based leadership through three distinctive models that have rarely been integrated in previous Islamic leadership literature. These findings have implications for the development of an integrative, contextual, and transformative paradigm of Islamic educational leadership, particularly relevant in addressing the contemporary global crisis of values in education

Abstract

The low productivity of international publications among lecturers at small higher education institutions has become a major challenge, affecting both academic reputation and career advancement. Contributing factors include limited understanding of advanced research methodologies such as the Systematic Literature Review (SLR), lack of experience in writing for international journals, and restricted access to academic resources. To address these issues, a community service programme was implemented at STITM Kediri using the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach to enhance lecturers’ capacity in producing SLR-based international scientific articles. The programme engaged 15 lecturers through four stages: Discovery (mapping academic assets), Dream (formulating a collective vision), Design (developing training plans), and Delivery (implementation and mentoring). The results indicate a substantial improvement in participants’ understanding of the SLR methodology, with the average score rising from 2.1 (on a 1–5 scale) before the training to 4.3 afterwards. All participants were actively engaged (100% attendance, 87% active participation), resulting in 15 article drafts, three of which are ready for submission to reputable international journals (Scopus Q3–Q4). These achievements demonstrate that the ABCD-based training successfully empowered existing academic potential, fostered writing motivation, and strengthened the culture of international publication at STITM Kediri. This model has the potential to be replicated in other small higher education institutions as a strategy for sustainable academic capacity building.

Abstract

The Jamaah-Based Da’wah Movement (Gerakan Jamaah Dakwah Jamaah/GJDJ) represents one of Muhammadiyah’s strategic paradigms in developing a community-based da’wah system that emphasizes participatory, collective, and sustainable religious empowerment. This study was conducted in three Muhammadiyah branches and five sub-branches located in urban and semi-urban areas of South Sumatra Province that actively implement the GJDJ program. Within the dynamics of contemporary society, GJDJ faces serious challenges, including the weakening of social solidarity, the rise of urban individualism, digital transformation, and the shift of da’wah orientation toward institutional rather than communitarian approaches. This study aims to analyze the transformation of Muhammadiyah’s GJDJ implementation in strengthening community-based da’wah in the modern era, as well as to identify the structural, cultural, and ideological problems affecting the movement’s effectiveness. The research employs a qualitative approach using a critical case study design through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, organizational documentation, and discourse analysis of Muhammadiyah policies related to GJDJ. The findings reveal that the implementation of GJDJ experiences fragmentation between ideological ideals and institutional praxis due to the dominance of institutional-oriented charitable enterprises (amal usaha), weak cadre regeneration of community mentors, and the lack of integration of community-based digital da’wah strategies. The study also finds that revitalizing GJDJ requires reconstructing a more adaptive, collaborative, and socio-participatory model of da’wah in order to remain relevant within modern society. The novelty of this research lies in the development of an integrative model combining community da’wah, social empowerment, and digital transformation within the framework of Muhammadiyah’s modernist Islamic movement

Abstract

This community service article describes a Qur'anic reading mentoring program for adult learners at Majelis Ta'lim Ahludz Dzikri Sidoarjo. The program was designed to respond to adults' difficulties in recognizing hijaiyah letters, connecting Arabic sounds with Indonesian explanations, and applying basic tajwid rules during recitation. The mentoring used concept maps and Indonesian vocabulary as learning aids so that participants could visualize the relationship among letters, vowels, articulation points, short-long sounds, and selected tajwid concepts. The program employed Participatory Action Research through planning, action, observation, reflection, and follow-up cycles. Thirty adult participants joined the mentoring once a week every Sunday from 10.00 to 11.30 WIB. Data were collected through initial reading diagnosis, observation notes, weekly practice records, oral reading assessment, and reflective dialogue with participants. The results indicate that concept maps helped participants organize Qur'anic reading materials into simpler and more memorable structures, while Indonesian vocabulary reduced anxiety and supported adult learners who had limited Arabic background. Participants became more confident in distinguishing similar letters, reading connected syllables, recognizing basic signs of vowels and sukun, and applying simple tajwid rules in short surahs. The main obstacles were limited practice time at home, different starting abilities, and hesitation among older participants. The mentoring shows that adult Qur'anic literacy can be strengthened through participatory, visual, and contextual learning strategies that respect learners' experiences and learning pace.

Abstract

Contemporary Muslim societies face political transformation involving democracy, citizenship, religious authority, state power, and public ethics. Debates on Islamic politics often remain polarized between formalistic legalism and secular exclusion, making contextual reconstruction necessary. This study aims to formulate a renewed framework of Islamic political thought that connects classical Islamic principles with contemporary civic realities. This research used a qualitative conceptual design with a library research approach. Data were taken from recent peer-reviewed literature on Islamic political thought, maqasid, democracy, citizenship, governance, and public reason. Data collection was conducted through documentation, source selection, thematic classification, and critical reading. Data were analyzed through conceptual analysis and philosophical-hermeneutical interpretation to build a contextual model of Islamic political reasoning. The main finding shows that Islamic political thought needs to move from state-centric legalism toward an ethical-deliberative paradigm based on justice, welfare, plural citizenship, accountability, and non-coercive morality. The study concludes that Islamic political concepts remain relevant when reinterpreted through maqasid-oriented reasoning, democratic participation, and sensitivity to contemporary realities. This article contributes a conceptual model for developing Islamic political discourse that is ethical, inclusive, democratic, and responsive to modern public life.

Abstract

This conceptual article reconstructs Islamic governance through maqasid al-Shariah by shifting the focus from formal compliance to public value, institutional trust, and measurable maslahah. Contemporary governance in Muslim societies is often trapped between procedural modernity and symbolic religiosity: institutions may display Islamic labels while policy design, accountability, and public welfare remain weak. The study therefore asks how maqasid al-Shariah can be translated into a practical governance framework for law, policy, finance, and public administration. Using an integrative literature review and maqasidi hermeneutic analysis, this article synthesizes recent studies published between 2021 and 2026. The analysis identifies four findings. First, Islamic governance requires a normative anchor that joins tawhid, amanah, justice, shura, and ihsan with contemporary principles of transparency, participation, and evidence-based policy. Second, maqasid must be operationalized as indicators of protection, empowerment, and flourishing, not merely as abstract legal objectives. Third, a reconstructed model should connect rule legitimacy, institutional capability, ethical leadership, and public accountability. Fourth, the maqasid approach expands governance evaluation beyond economic growth toward human dignity, social justice, environmental stewardship, and intergenerational welfare. The article contributes a maqasid governance matrix and an implementation cycle that can guide future empirical research and policy evaluation in Muslim-majority and minority contexts.

Abstract

This article examines the evolution of Islamic political authority from the caliphal ideal to the modern nation-state. The study argues that the transformation was not a simple decline from religious unity to secular fragmentation, but a layered shift in legitimacy, territory, law, citizenship, and institutional capacity. The caliphate historically functioned as a symbol of universal Muslim unity, yet practical authority was often mediated by dynastic rule, scholarly jurisprudence, imperial administration, and local political arrangements. The rise of colonial borders, constitutionalism, international law, and bureaucratic statehood reshaped Islamic authority into territorial forms governed by citizenship and public institutions. Using a qualitative conceptual-historical method, the article synthesizes recent scholarship on political authority, Islamic governance, state legitimacy, constitutionalism, and post-Ottoman political imagination. The findings show four patterns: the symbolic persistence of the caliphate, the territorial consolidation of the nation-state, the constitutional translation of Islamic norms, and the pluralization of religious-political authority. The discussion demonstrates that contemporary Islamic governance should not be reduced to restoring a single caliphal structure; rather, it requires ethical reconstruction within nation-state realities through justice, consultation, public welfare, accountability, and protection of citizenship. The article contributes a conceptual model for studying post-caliphal authority and offers implications for Islamic political thought, public policy, and future empirical research in Muslim-majority societies.

Abstract

The growing complexity of contemporary governance has renewed scholarly interest in reconstructing Islamic political thought as a normative framework for modern political and administrative challenges. Although previous studies have widely discussed Islamic governance, maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, and political reform, limited attention has been given to reconstructing the epistemological foundations of classical Islamic political thought into an integrated model for contemporary governance. This study aims to reconstruct those foundations and examine their contribution to accountable, participatory, and ethical governance in Muslim societies. Using qualitative library research with historical-philosophical and conceptual approaches, this study analyzes classical Islamic political literature and contemporary scholarship through documentary research. Data were examined using qualitative content analysis, thematic analysis, and constant comparative analysis. The findings show that Islamic political epistemology is built upon six interconnected sources of knowledge: the Qur’an, Sunnah, ijmā‘, qiyās, ijtihād, and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. These principles can be transformed into a governance-oriented framework emphasizing accountability, participation, ethical leadership, transparency, and public welfare. The study argues that contemporary Islamic political epistemology is a dynamic knowledge system capable of integrating Islamic intellectual heritage with modern governance principles. Its novelty lies in proposing an integrated epistemological model that bridges classical Islamic political thought and contemporary governance theory.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the historical dynamics of Islamic civilization in the formation of political institutions, the construction of power, and the development of the broader Islamic world. It is motivated by the academic need to understand Islamic politics not merely as a normative system or as a debate over state forms, but as a historical process that continuously changed in response to the social, cultural, economic, and geopolitical contexts of Muslim societies. This research employs a qualitative approach through library research. The data were obtained from primary and secondary sources related to Islamic civilization, Islamic political thought, the caliphate, imamate, sultanate, political legitimacy, bureaucracy, and the role of political institutions in advancing Islamic knowledge and culture. The data were analyzed using a historical-conceptual approach involving data condensation, thematic categorization, interpretation, and conceptual synthesis. The findings show that Islamic political institutions developed through four major patterns: normative-prophetic, institutional-administrative, dynastic-territorial, and civilizational-pluralistic. These patterns demonstrate that power in Islamic history was not based solely on religious legitimacy, but also on the ability to build political stability, administrative structures, legal systems, economic networks, military organization, and socio-intellectual relations. The study concludes that Islamic civilization was formed through a dialectical relationship between values, institutions, power, and civilizational production. Its main contribution lies in proposing a historical-institutional framework for understanding Islamic political history in a more critical, integrative, and contextual way.
