Journal of Integrative Sustainability and Ethics
Journal of Integrative Sustainability and Ethics (JIBEC) is an academic journal that focuses on publishing both field research and literature studies exploring issues of sustainable economics through the lens of Islamic ethics and values. The journal aims to serve as a scholarly platform that integrates modern sustainability principles with the framework of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah—the preservation of religion (ḥifẓ al-dīn), life (ḥifẓ al-nafs), intellect (ḥifẓ al-‘aql), lineage (ḥifẓ al-nasl), and wealth (ḥifẓ al-māl). Thus, JIBEC highlights not only the material and ecological dimensions of economics but also emphasizes moral, spiritual, and social foundations as essential components of sustainability. The journal’s focus includes both theoretical and empirical studies related to Islamic economic ethics, maqāṣid-based sustainable development, social and green economic innovation, Islamic finance oriented toward universal welfare (rahmatan lil ‘ālamīn), and public policies that balance economic growth with the preservation of human values. JIBEC encourages interdisciplinary contributions that integrate approaches from economics, fiqh mu‘āmalah, Islamic ethics, and development sociology to construct a new, inclusive, and justice-oriented paradigm of sustainable economics.
