Abstract

This study explores the philosophical foundations of the Islamic view of business among Muslim entrepreneurs operating in rural South African communities. The research addresses the problem of understanding why Muslim business owners prioritize trust, hope, and humanitarian service above mere profit-making, despite operating in socio-economically disadvantaged environments. Using a qualitative approach supported by semi-structured interviews with ten purposively selected participants five Muslim shop owners and five community members the study applies thematic analysis guided by critical social theory. The analysis reveals that Islamic financial philosophy shapes a business culture rooted in care, kindness, fairness, and community upliftment. Muslim entrepreneurs perceive business not only as an economic activity but also as a religious duty grounded in serving humanity, maintaining ethical conduct, and seeking divine pleasure. Findings show that these philosophical commitments strengthen social trust, promote communal harmony, and help alleviate local poverty. The study concludes that Islamic financial philosophy offers a transformative alternative to profit-driven business models and has the potential to support sustainable community development. Limitations include restricted sample size and reliance on interview data, suggesting that future research should incorporate broader case studies and comparative analyses across regions.

Abstract

Community Learning Centres (CLCs), which are the main features of the Adult Education and Training system, offer necessary second-chance learning opportunities for out-of school youth, and adults who have never been to school or have dropped out early. Educator absenteeism, however, has, for a long time, been the major factor that has led to a decrease in public trust in such centres and, consequently, their effectiveness. The aim of the research was to explore the effect of teachers' moonlighting on absenteeism, teaching quality, and retention in South African CLCs. For this purpose, the study employed thematic analysis in line with Braun and Clarke's six (2021) step method to process secondary data obtained from previous research and institutional reports. This meticulous method of coding, gathering, and polishing themes made it possible to recognize the essential patterns of teacher behaviour and school issues. The research concluded that teachers take additional jobs just to meet the demands of their socio-economic lives. Educators' low salaries, their financial commitments, and the ever-rising demands of the household are a few of the factors that push teachers to find other jobs. Research findings show that moonlighting has a direct negative impact on teaching quality, as teachers have less time to prepare their lessons, deliver them, and interact meaningfully with students.
