Abstract

Objective: Explain and strengthen the understanding of gender balance in the context of faith and charity based on the thematic interpretation of Surah An-Nisa verse 124, as well as how the principles of equality in Islam can be applied in socio-religious life. Theoretical framework: The concept of justice and gender equality in Islam is based on thematic interpretation (tafsir maudhu'i), as well as the principles of faith and charity as pillars of just and inclusive religious life. Literature review: Previous studies of the interpretation of Surah An-Nisa verse 124, the thoughts of commentary scholars on the role of gender in religion, as well as literature that discusses gender equality in the context of Islam and society. Methods: A thematic interpretation approach (maudhu'i) to the verses of the Qur'an (An-Nisa: 124) by examining the context of the text (textual) and the social context (contextual) to understand the meaning and implications of the verses on gender issues. Results: Ayat An-Nisa: 124 shows that Islam upholds the principles of justice and gender equality in terms of faith and charity. There is no difference in reward between men and women who do righteous deeds. This supports the creation of an inclusive and gender-fair society. Implication: This study provides a theological basis for efforts to strengthen the role of women in socio-religious life and is a contribution to the discourse of gender equality in Islam, especially in the context of social interpretation and praxis. Novelty: Using a thematic interpretation approach specifically to An-Nisa: 124 to highlight gender equality in the context of faith and charity, and to relate it to the socio-religious roles of men and women more inclusively and contextually.

Abstract

Objective: This research aims to analyse the importance of technology mastery in improving the competence of Islamic Religious Education teachers who are members of the Teacher Working Group Forum to support the achievement of SDG 4. Theoretical Framework: Serves as a conceptual foundation that explains the relationship between mastery of technology, increasing the competence of Islamic Religious Education teachers, and the role of the Teacher Working Group Forum as a forum for developing teacher professionalism. Literature Review: To review various theories and previous research relevant to technology mastery, improving the competence of Islamic Religious Education teachers, and the role of the Teacher Working Group Forum in supporting teacher professional development related to SDG 4. Methods: This study used a qualitative method, the analysis of which involved the content of the technology mastery text, the competence of Islamic Religious Education teachers, and the Teacher Working Group Forum. Data were collected through document analysis and interviews with Islamic Religious Education teachers, the head of the teachers' working group forum, school principals, and policymakers. Results: Islamic Religious Education teachers have a positive perception of technology mastery, as it helps them access more Islamic learning resources, reach a wider range of students, especially in distance learning, and make learning more interactive; in addition, the Teachers Working Group Forum plays a role in helping them learn technology gradually, although there are still challenges such as the lack of technical training, limited technology facilities in schools, the low level of digital literacy of Islamic Religious Education teachers, and concerns about the negative impact of technology use. Implications: In addition, this research contributes to the achievement of the SDGs, particularly in quality education (SDG 4), technological innovation in education (SDG 9), reducing disparities in access to education (SDG 10), and strengthening partnerships in the development of technology-based education (SDG 17). Novelty: Overall, this research brings a new perspective to the field of Islamic religious education by highlighting how mastery of technology can improve the competence of Islamic Religious Education teachers, as well as how the Teacher Working Group Forum can act as a catalyst in digital transformation for religious educators.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to investigate the feasibility and implications of integrating Zakat, an Islamic obligatory almsgiving system, into modern state taxation structures within Muslim-majority countries. Theoretical framework: The research is grounded in two complementary theoretical frameworks: fiscal sociology, which explores how taxation reflects socio-legal norms, and Islamic economic theory, which emphasizes wealth redistribution through moral and religious obligations.  Literature review: The literature review highlights that while scholars such as Yusuf al-Qaradawi, Monzer Kahf, and Habib Ahmed have extensively discussed zakat’s socio-economic role, there remains a gap in practical models that link zakat to national tax regimes without compromising Sharia principles or state fiscal efficiency. The coexistence of these systems often leads to conceptual confusion and administrative inefficiencies, particularly in countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. Methods: Methodologically, this research adopts a qualitative, comparative legal and economic approach, drawing on policy documents, legal statutes, and case studies from selected Muslim-majority countries. It critically examines institutional frameworks, public finance policies, and compliance behavior, while also employing doctrinal analysis of maqāṣid al-sharīʿah (objectives of Islamic law) to assess religious alignment. Results: The findings reveal that integration is hampered by legal fragmentation, institutional redundancy, and low public trust. However, models that incorporate zakat into the tax system—either through deductions, exemptions, or parallel recognition—demonstrate improved compliance, reduced welfare burdens on the state, and enhanced civic participation rooted in religious ethics. The study proposes a Hybrid Integration Framework comprising legal recognition, digital registries, transparent oversight, taxpayer choice mechanisms, and intersectoral collaboration. Implications: The implications of this research are significant for policymakers seeking to harmonize Sharia-based obligations with secular governance systems. By fostering synergy between religious mandates and public finance tools, this study offers a pathway toward more equitable and accountable fiscal models. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in its dual-theoretical lens and the practical policy framework it develops for integrating religious and civic financial duties in a way that aligns with both ethical and administrative imperatives.
