Abstract

Along with the development of the times and the progress of Islamic economics as an alternative economic paradigm, there are fundamental problems that have not been resolved in scientific studies remain, both from the economic agent model regarding homo economicus and homo Islamicus. As the dominant model of economic agents in conventional economics and Islamic economics, each fails to represent the actual human economic behavior that occurs, creating a constant gap between theoretical idealization and empirical reality. Meanwhile, homo economicus degrades human motivation to self-interest and maximizes utility. Homo Islamicus as a model of agents is highly demanding of a high standard of behavior based on piety and which realistically cannot be observed in real economic settings. This research overcomes the gap through a qualitative approach conducting a systematic comparative literature analysis based on a three-dimensional microfundamental framework: main purpose, means, and virtues. This study argues that the concept of the 'universal man being' defined by gradual well-being as a goal, the Dominant Active Human Element (DAHE) as a means, and justice as the main virtue, are more empirically based and epistemologically coherent economic agents for Islamic economics. The findings show that the universal man being bridges the gap between theory and reality while remaining consistent with Islamic epistemological sources. Theoretically, this research provides a reconceptualized microfoundation for Islamic economics that goes beyond the limitations of both existing economic agent models, with broader relevance to heterodox economic theory and human-centered development discourse.

Abstract

The culture of consumption among contemporary Muslims demonstrates that religious expression is no longer confined to ritual observance but is increasingly manifested through symbols, Islamic lifestyles, and consumption choices that affirm particular forms of religious identity. While previous scholarship has extensively examined Muslim consumption in relation to religiosity, halal products, and Islamic fashion, limited attention has been devoted to understanding religious piety as a commodity constructed through everyday consumption practices. This study seeks to critically examine how values of piety are socially constructed and how the mechanisms of religious commodification operate within a Hijabersmom Community (HMC) in Deltasari, Sidoarjo. To capture this social reality, the study employs a qualitative-interpretive approach through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and the examination of community documents. Theoretically, the analysis is situated within a political economy framework by synthesizing perspectives on the commodification of religion, consumption practices among the Muslim middle class, and the expanding dynamics of the Islamic lifestyle economy. The findings indicate that the construction of piety within the community manifests through three principal dimensions: ritual observance, social relations (muamalah), and symbolic expression, particularly through the adoption of shar‘i fashion as a marker of collective identity. Furthermore, the community functions not merely as a spiritual sanctuary but also as a dynamic economic arena in which commodities, including Muslim fashion, culinary products, and household necessities, are exchanged among members. This study concludes that contemporary religious communities increasingly operate as hybrid social spaces where spirituality, middle-class identity, and economic interests intersect within the everyday lives of urban Muslim women.

Abstract

This study aims to examine and comparatively analyze the perspectives of the four Sunni madhhabs Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali on online buying and selling transactions by referring to Madzāhibu al-Arba'ah by Abdurrahman Al-Juzairi, with a focus on identifying points of convergence and divergence relevant to contemporary digital commerce. While previous studies have generally addressed online transactions from a broad Islamic law perspective, few have conducted a systematic comparative analysis rooted in classical fiqh turath across all four madhhabs simultaneously. This study employs a normative qualitative library research method with a comparative fiqh approach, using Madzāhibu al-Arba'ah as the primary source and supported by contemporary fiqh muamalah literature, international journal articles on Islamic e-commerce, and relevant regulatory documents. Data were analyzed through descriptive-analytical and comparative methods to examine the pillars and conditions of sale, ijab-qabul, clarity of object, and the concept of ittihād al-majlis in online transactions. The findings reveal that all four madhhabs permit online buying and selling through analogical reasoning with bai' al-salam, yet differ significantly in their interpretations of sighat and ittihād al-majlis: the Hanafi and Hanbali schools adopt a more flexible stance on the form of ijab-qabul, the Shafi'i school emphasizes the continuity of the contract session and explicit sighah, while the Maliki school prioritizes public benefit through 'urf and maṣlaḥah mursalah. This study contributes a structured comparative framework that translates classical contract elements into their digital equivalents, offering normative guidance for Islamic e-commerce practice and sharia-compliant digital transaction governance.

Abstract

The globalization of Islamic traditions through diaspora movements presents a unique opportunity to examine how classical Sufi teachings adapt to contemporary socio-religious contexts. This study investigates the actualization of Al-Haddadiyyah Sufi ethics within Indonesian Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), focusing on how Abdullah bin Alawi Al-Haddad's six core humanistic values explicitly articulated in his works, particularly Nasaih al-Diniyah and Risalat al-Muawanah are transmitted, interpreted, and practiced in daily educational life. Through qualitative field research in three pesantren in East Java, Indonesia, this study explores: (1) the pedagogical mechanisms of transmitting Al-Haddad's ethical teachings, (2) the manifestation of six core humanistic values in pesantren community life, and (3) the synthesis between classical Sufi wisdom and modern educational challenges. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with kyai (religious leaders), ustadz (teachers), and santri (students), and documentation analysis. Findings reveal that Al-Haddadiyyah ethics are not merely preserved as textual heritage but are dynamically actualized through habitual practices (ta'wid), communal rituals (majalis), and interpersonal relationships. The values of kaff al-adza (non-harm), al-mu'awanah (mutual assistance), al-shohbat (companionship), al-'adlu (justice), al-rifq (gentleness), and al-tasamuh (tolerance) function as living ethical frameworks that address contemporary issues such as bullying, intolerance, and moral degradation among youth. This research contributes to Islamic Civilization studies by demonstrating how Hadhrami Sufi traditions maintain their relevance through adaptive transmission while preserving their essential spiritual-ethical core, offering insights into the enduring vitality of Islamic educational traditions in modern contexts.

Abstract

This study addresses a gap in existing scholarship on Sufi orders, which has largely focused on individual spiritual experience while paying limited attention to socio-religious transformation within urban religious communities. It examines how members of the Qadiriyah Naqshbandiyah Order (TQN) at PP Sabilul Muttaqin in Mojokerto City construct religious meaning and experience socio-religious transformation in an urban context. Using a qualitative approach with an interpretative phenomenological design, the study involved disciples, pesantren administrators, and key religious figures, including the mursyid and khalifah. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, then analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) supported by social construction and social change perspectives. The findings demonstrate that the urban tarekat community functions not only as a space for spiritual practice, but also as a socio-religious institution that shapes collective behavior and social engagement. Religious rituals and guidance within the tarekat encourage stronger religious discipline, self-control, solidarity, and active participation in community life. In the urban setting of Mojokerto City, the tarekat also provides members with moral orientation and social stability amid the challenges of modern urban life. The study highlights the novelty of understanding urban tarekat communities as agents of socio-religious transformation that integrate spirituality with everyday social practices. It further suggests the need for comparative and longitudinal studies on the sustainability of tarekat-based transformation in contemporary urban societies.

Abstract

This study examines the optimization of BAZNAS Gorontalo’s performance through system digitalization and adaptive organizational culture within the framework of Islamic zakat governance. Using an integrative literature review approach, this research analyzes scholarly works related to digital transformation, organizational culture, Islamic philanthropy, and zakat management institutions. Previous studies have mainly focused on technological aspects of digital zakat, while limited attention has been given to the relationship between digitalization, adaptive culture, and local socio-religious characteristics in regional zakat institutions. The findings indicate that digital transformation has the potential to improve efficiency, transparency, accountability, and service quality in zakat management. In the perspective of Islamic governance, digitalization also supports the implementation of amanah, public trust, and accountable Islamic social finance management. Among the organizational culture dimensions examined, the adhocracy culture is viewed as the most supportive of digital transformation due to its emphasis on innovation and adaptability. In addition, innovation-oriented leadership plays an important role in strengthening organizational transformation. This study contributes a conceptual framework integrating digital transformation, adaptive organizational culture, and Islamic governance values in strengthening contemporary zakat institutions and digital Islamic philanthropy.

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of pesantren within the framework of Islamic economics, focusing on their repositioning from traditional religious-educational institutions into socio-economic enterprises. While previous studies have primarily emphasized the educational and da‘wah functions of pesantren, limited attention has been given to their expanding economic roles and institutional transformation. To address this gap, this study employs a qualitative library research design using a text-based analytical approach. The analysis draws upon academic literature, institutional perspectives, and regulatory frameworks, particularly Law Number 18 of 2019 concerning Pesantren. The findings reveal that pesantren are increasingly integrating economic functions into their institutional structures through the establishment of cooperatives, micro-enterprises, entrepreneurial initiatives, and sharia-compliant financial activities. This development reflects the emergence of a hybrid institutional model that combines religious authority, educational functions, and socio-economic engagement within a single organizational framework. The study further demonstrates that pesantren contribute to broadening the scope of Islamic economics by promoting community-based, ethically grounded, and socially embedded economic practices. In addition, legal recognition has played a significant role in legitimizing and strengthening pesantren’s economic transformation, although challenges related to governance, managerial capacity, and institutional sustainability remain substantial. This research contributes to the discourse of Islamic economics by conceptualizing pesantren as socio-economic enterprises and by offering an alternative perspective on Islamic economic institutions that emphasizes social empowerment, ethical orientation, and community resilience.

Abstract

This phenomenological study examines how a systematic five-minute preaching training program (dakwah) functions as institutional branding in an Islamic boarding school navigating demographic transition from religious homogeneity to cultural diversity. Central to this inquiry is the tension of strategic adaptation without losing core Islamic identity how the institution responds to urbanization-driven diversification while preserving its authentic religious mission. Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis across four existential dimensions (lived body, lived time, lived space, lived relationship), twenty-four participants were engaged including institutional leaders, current students, alumni, and community members. Contrasting perspectives among three key informants illuminate this tension vividly: institutional leaders assert that traditional preaching methods must be preserved as non-negotiable identity anchors; alumni actively engaged in dakwah describe how the program formed their religious leadership identity in ways no classroom instruction could; while community members receiving student preaching testify that the broadcasts create daily lived connection between the institution and the surrounding diverse neighborhood. Findings reveal three dimensions: the program functions as culturally-responsive local content curriculum preserving Islamic scholarly tradition; systematic daily practice develops students' religious leadership and public communication competency through experiential learning; and the distinctive program serves as effective institutional branding recognized by diverse stakeholders as authentic religious leadership development. This study contributes to understanding how religious educational institutions navigate social change while maintaining cultural-religious authenticity through distinctive pedagogical innovation.
