Abstract

Veil is a symbol of religious obedience for Muslim women. That is what continues to be believed until the occurrence of modernization which causes a value shift in the scope of the meaning of the veil. This article focuses on the scope of the veil which has become the lifestyle of Muslim women today. The approach used in this research is qualitative by conducting field studies in the form of observations around the Sleman area, Yogyakarta to observe Muslim women who use the veil with various models and types. In addition, this article also uses previous research as a foundation in research and to collect the data needed. After obtaining the data sought, data analysis is then carried out which is divided into three, namely data reduction, data presentation, and finally data verification on conclusion drawing. The result obtained is that modernization has a positive and negative impact on the veil users. The advantage is the progress in thinking of women who wear the veil so that they are not confined to the authority of men, while the disadvantage is the erosion of religious values from the use of veil which should have the main function to cover the intimate part (aurat) and curves of the female body and maintain women’s honor into a trend due to the influence of modernization. nevertheless, this article does not blame any hijab models used in daily life. Of course it goes back to the rights of each individual.

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of zakat as a fiscal instrument in supporting Islamic economic development in Indonesia. Zakat, as one of the pillars of Islam, has great potential to contribute to economic development and social welfare. In the context of Indonesia, which has the largest Muslim population in the world, effective implementation of zakat can have a significant impact. This study uses a qualitative method with literature study, reviewing various sources including journals, books, research reports, and other relevant literature. The analysis was conducted using an interactive approach to understand the concept of zakat, its potential application as a fiscal instrument, as well as the challenges and opportunities faced. The results of the study indicate that zakat has an important role as a fiscal instrument that can support Islamic economic development in Indonesia. Zakat can function as a source of additional income for the state, help reduce economic and social disparities, and encourage community economic empowerment. However, there are challenges related to regulations, institutions, and lack of public awareness that need to be addressed. Nevertheless, this study identifies great opportunities in the implementation of zakat as a fiscal instrument, along with the enormous potential of zakat in Indonesia and increasing public awareness. By making efforts to overcome existing challenges, zakat can be optimized as an effective fiscal instrument in supporting inclusive and sustainable Islamic economic development in Indonesia.

Abstract

Language reflects the realities of human life activities. As social beings, humans require communication, which functions effectively when facilitated by language. Therefore, language influences human thought patterns. Polite language, a hallmark of Indonesian culture, has been passed down through generations, underscoring the close relationship between language and culture. Effective language expression is also supported by good literacy understanding. This study aims to explain language use in society through the Ethnography of Communication approach, emphasizing the importance of context in interpreting speech and its functions. Linguists have traditionally found it easy to explain sentences from grammatical and semantic perspectives but often struggle with the intention and functional use of speech. Ethnography of Communication seeks to address this gap by incorporating aspects of speech or communication, thus making linguistic components more comprehensive. The research method used was a literature study, with library materials serving as the primary data source. The findings indicate that language was structured according to patterns, not randomly, but within subsystems such as phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. These patterns correspond to the needs and functions of each societal group. Ethnography of Communication examines the communication patterns of a community or cultural society, highlighting the role of language in the communicative behaviour of a society and how language was used within different cultures.
