Abstract

The management of large-scale societal crises is often impeded by a complex interplay of factors, yet the strategic role of social capital in mitigating such unforeseen global challenges remains inadequately conceptualized. This study aims to systematically examine the contribution of social constitutive capital to the development of family resilience during the pandemic in the contemporary world. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology, this research analyzed 20 pertinent articles sourced from the Scopus database. The results delineate a multifaceted typology of contributions: social capital functions through direct mechanisms, as a mediating variable alongside other factors, and through indirect pathways. The analysis establishes that social capital (operationalized through trust, networks, norms, and social organization) served as a fundamental pillar of family resilience. Its efficacy was significantly amplified when synergized with local belief systems, technological adoption, entrepreneurial initiatives, and institutional support. Furthermore, social capital acted as a critical mediator in enhancing relational capacities within marginalized demographics. A cross-national analysis of 27 countries highlighted the pivotal role of social trust in alleviating psychological distress, thereby bolstering collective resilience. Conversely, the study also revealed that the impact of social capital on individual resilience was comparatively less significant than that of socioeconomic status, demographic vulnerability, and robust physical infrastructure. These findings provide a seminal framework for understanding the multidimensional utility of social capital in crisis response.

Abstract

This study examines how gender justice for women is negotiated in inheritance distribution in Aceh, Indonesia, through the perspective of the Living Qur’an. It focuses on how Acehnese Muslims understand and practice Qur’anic teachings on inheritance within a strong local cultural context. The study addresses two questions: (1) how the Qur’anic inheritance verses (āyāt al-mawārīth) are understood in Acehnese society, and (2) how gender justice is realized in local inheritance practices. This research employs a qualitative design using the Living Qur’an approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis in several regions of Aceh, involving religious scholars, customary leaders, and family members with direct experience in inheritance practices. The findings reveal that inheritance distribution in Aceh is not applied through a strictly textual model but is shaped by continuous negotiation between Islamic legal principles and local customs. Mechanisms such as hibah, wasiat, hareuta peunulang, and family deliberation are used to balance Qur’anic norms with social realities and to achieve a locally accepted sense of justice for women. Rather than indicating a deviation from Islamic law, these practices demonstrate how the Qur’an operates as a living ethical framework in everyday life. This study argues that Islamic inheritance law in Aceh functions not merely as a formal legal system but as a living tradition that adapts to socio-cultural contexts while maintaining its normative foundation, thereby enabling a contextual realization of gender justice.

Abstract

Forest degradation has driven the emergence of the green economy as a paradigm of sustainable development. In Indonesia, the government strives to maintain forest conservation and food security simultaneously. However, human–wildlife conflict, such as that occurring in Bener Meriah Regency, Aceh, has become a huge challenge. Gayo coffee farmers face disturbances from elephants and tigers, which threaten both harvests and ecosystems. They respond to the challenges with local wisdom and integrative conservation approaches. Through the role of customary institutions and farmer groups and the potential of wildlife-friendly coffee, farmers have become key actors in sustainable and community-oriented conservation. In light of this, the present study employs a qualitative method using Antonio Gramsci’s critical sociology theory of hegemony and Clifford Geertz’s anthropological perspective of culture as a system of meaning. Data collection was carried out by means of observation, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGD), and document analysis. The data analysis used was Spradley’s analysis technique consisting of domain analysis, taxonomic analysis, componential analysis, and thematic analysis. Findings reveal that the conflict between wildlife and coffee farmers in Bener Meriah has been caused by the loss of habitat and the expansion of plantation land. The conflict has fueled economic, social and cultural impacts. As such, the community has applied local wisdom as an adaptive strategy; yet, for sustainable solutions, it is necessary to have an integrative model, involving the government, conservation institutions and local communities.

Abstract

Gender equality and justice are critical areas of inquiry, not only within academic discourse but also in shaping practical responses to contemporary issues affecting women. To effectively address these challenges, this study essentially adopt an integrated perspective that draws from Islamic teachings, gender theories, and women's studies. It employed a qualitative methodology using a grounded theory approach to examine an initiative of Women Education Program conducted by Great Mosque of Istiqlal in Jakarta, Indonesia, including gender curriculum, method and collaboration. The program reflects a global outlook and is supported by multi-stakeholder partnerships involving ministries, universities, and organizations at local, national, and international levels. Participants in the study responded to a combination of close and open-ended questions designed to explore their knowledge, perceptions, and experiences with the program. The study aimed to explore the contributions of Mosque–based Women Ulama Education Cadre Program conducted by Grand Mosque of Istiqlal in improving gender-responsive curricula and teaching methodologies, particularly in enhancing women's knowledge, skills, and active participation in social transformation. The analysis was guided by three interconnected theoretical frameworks: Islamic perspective, gender and social welfare theories. It applied an approach of gender education in alignment with the Tri Dharma of Islamic Higher Education under the auspices of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia.

Abstract

This research has shown that the main institutional problem with child marriage prevention in Bangkalan is not the lack of legal norms, but the lack of the capacity of legal frameworks at the grassroots level. The lack of strong enforcement, the indecisiveness of village officials, and poor coordination between religious courts, KUA officials, and child protection institutions are the problems that can undermine the effective application of the Bangkalan Regent Regulation No. 60 of 2024. Although the regulation offers a holistic system whereby preventive strategies and multisectoral coordination are incorporated, its effect in operation is limited by the culture and economic influences that still legitimize early marriage practices. The paper finds institutional fragmentation, low enforcement capacity, and socio-cultural resistance to be some of the critical challenges in policy implementation. Legal structure, legal culture and socio-economic conditions interact to influence the effectiveness of the legal enforcement. The analysis by the Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM) shows that the most strategic priority is reinforcement of legal enforcement and village-level supervision, but its sustainability requires simultaneous community education and economic empowerment. This study will be of significance to the socio-legal discussion since it will indicate that the efficacy of local regulation is conditional upon the correspondence between the aspects of the legal system, as envisioned by Lawrence M. Friedman, and the moral purpose of the Islamic law, stipulated in maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, especially ḥifẓ al-nasl. Bangkalan case empirically demonstrates that the local regulations can serve as effective tools to translate national child protection commitments into context-sensitive governance as long as they are accompanied by institutional capacity, cultural involvement, and policy strategies.

Abstract

Family Resilience has gained increasing scholarly attention amid growing economic uncertainty and financial vulnerability. This study aims to reconceptualize financial literacy as a pillar of family resilience from a Hadith perspective, addressing a gap in mainstream literature that often overlooks ethical and religious foundations. This research uses an interpretative qualitative method, analyzed using an integration-interconnection approach by Amin Abdullah, namely analyzing the Prophet's hadiths regarding household financial management, then integrating them with social sciences, such as economics and finance, and Islamic law. The findings demonstrate a strong convergence between prophetic ethical principles and core indicators of modern financial literacy. The Hadith emphasis on responsibility for family provision aligns with budgeting practices and prioritization of essential needs, thereby supporting household economic stability. Teachings on moderation in consumption foster adaptive and sustainable financial attitudes, contributing to long-term resilience. Prophetic warnings against excessive debt reflect an early awareness of structural financial risks that contemporary studies associate with family stress, conflict, and economic fragility. Furthermore, ethical guidance on the use of wealth cultivates value-oriented financial behavior that enhances not only economic resilience but also social, emotional, and moral well-being within households. Overall, the study shows that Hadith-based financial literacy operates as a moral–financial capability that integrates technical financial competence with ethical responsibility. Thus, this research strengthens the theory of integration-interconnection of hadith studies with social sciences, especially economics and Islamic family law, which offers a conceptual basis for the development of family policies and contextual and sustainable financial literacy education.

Abstract

If the Sharia Court in Aceh is examined from a historical perspective, its institutional roots can be traced to the office of the qadhi (Islamic judge) during the era of the Islamic sultanates. This historical fact influenced the colonial period, independence, the New Order, and the Reformation era. This study aims to examine the development of the Sharia Court from the kingdom era to the Reformation era using an Islamic legal social history approach. This study employs empirical legal methods, analyzed using Islamic legal social history theory. Data were collected through document studies and interviews. The documents analyzed included laws, regulations, books, journal articles, and court decisions. The informants interviewed included academics, judges, and non-Muslim members of the public. The study finds that the development of the Sharia Court in Aceh has experienced significant fluctuations from the sultanate period to the reform era. During the sultanate era, Islamic judicial institutions flourished, with courts led by qadhi who functioned as both legal authorities and moral arbiters within society. In the colonial period, particularly under Dutch and Japanese rule, Islamic courts were progressively marginalized, resulting in legal pluralism marked by tensions among Islamic law, customary law (adat), and Western legal systems. In the post-independence period, religious courts gradually gained formal recognition within the national legal system, including the incorporation of women as judges, reflecting increasing institutionalization and gender inclusivity. During the reform era, the Sharia Court underwent a process of revitalization, particularly following the implementation of special autonomy in Aceh and the formal introduction of the Islamic law within the regional legal system.

Abstract

Marriage, divorce, maintenance, inheritance, and the legal consequences arising from these issues are problematic issues in Islamic family law that will always arise in Muslim communities in Indonesia and throughout the Muslim world. The phenomenon of 'divorce at an advanced age' (divorce among the elderly) is increasing in Indonesia, triggering normative challenges in Islamic marriage law, especially regarding the mandatory iddah period for menopausal women. The study uses empirical legal methods, explained by the theory of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. Data were collected through interviews and literature studies. The literature reviewed includes classic legal texts such as fiqh books, journal articles, and legislation. This study concludes that, based on the Compilation of Islamic Law, Article 153 paragraph (6) of the Indonesian Islamic Law Code (KUHP), an iddah period of one year is mandatory for menopausal women. This period is much longer if we use the Georgian Calendar and raises critical questions in the context of 'divorce at an advanced age', where the main purpose of iddah—istibra al-rahim (ensuring an empty uterus) is medically irrelevant. This study reveals that the classical provisions on 'iddah menopause are ijtihadi (dependent on legal reasoning) and contextual, so they are open to normative reformulation. Consequently, this article proposes a reformulation of Article 153 (6) of the KHI to be more gender-just and responsive to maqāṣid. By distinguishing between ’iddah ta'abbudi (ritualistic) and ’iddah ta'aqquli (rational) in the context of ‘grey divorce’, this reformulation aims to strengthen legal protection for women while maintaining the relevance of Islamic family law in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the failure of mediation in family cases at the North Sulawesi Religious Court and emphasizes the importance of integrating Islamic legal principles to address these issues. Although many studies have addressed mediation failures, this study offers a more in-depth perspective by highlighting how the dominance of legal formalities often ignores the substance of peaceful dispute resolution. Through a qualitative approach, in-depth interviews are conducted with judges, mediators, and parties involved in the mediation process. Thematic analysis is then used to identify patterns and themes from the collected data. The study results show that one of the leading causes of mediation failure is the lack of application of Islamic legal principles, such as the activeness of mediator judges in promoting peace. In addition, local wisdom ('urf) that is supposed to strengthen mediation is often overlooked, which reduces the effectiveness of the mediation process. The success of mediation, if it occurs, is more often determined by external pressures, such as family pressures, than by the mediation itself. Therefore, this study emphasizes the need for stronger integration between Islamic legal principles and mediation approaches in Religious Courts to achieve fairer, more peaceful dispute resolution for all parties.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of a syariah-based circular economy model in waste management within Kendari and Bau-bau, Indonesia. The research addresses the gap in existing literature by exploring the application of syariah principles in creating a sustainable waste management system. The research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing observations, in-depth interviews with stakeholders, and focused group discussions to gather comprehensive data. The findings reveal significant achievements in integrating syariah principles, such as al-amanah (responsibility), al-iqtishadiyah (efficiency), and al-'adalah (justice), into the waste management systems. Technological innovations, such as biogas conversion at TPA Puwatu, have shown success in addressing waste issues and providing economic benefits. Additionally, educational and community empowerment programs have effectively increased public participation in sustainable waste management practices. The study concludes that the syariah-based circular economy model is effective in creating a sustainable and ethical waste management system, with potential for broader application in other regions. The research highlights the importance of integrating religious principles with modern environmental practices to achieve holistic sustainability.
