Abstract

Digital philanthropic da’wah on social media has emerged as a significant force shaping charitable engagement among urban Muslim communities; yet, the psychological mechanisms through which media exposure translates into attitudinal change remain underexplored in the Indonesian context. Grounded in the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) theoretical framework, this study examines how exposure to digital philanthropic da’wah influences the charitable attitudes of urban Muslims in Bandar Lampung. Employing a convergent mixed-methods design, the study integrates a quantitative survey of 100 respondents drawn from the BAZNAS Bandar Lampung donor database with in-depth interviews of 15 purposively selected participants. Regression analysis reveals a significant positive effect of digital da’wah exposure on charitable attitudes (β = 0.581, R² = 0.338, F = 49.982, p < 0.001), with the strongest influence found in the cognitive dimension (R² = 32.4%), followed by affective (R² = 28.0%) and conative aspects (R² = 22.7%). Qualitative findings uncover five key themes: emotional resonance with content, credibility concerns, motivation for social engagement, heightened awareness, and perceived ease of donating. This study contributes a dual-perspective S-O-R analysis of Islamic digital philanthropy in a mid-sized Indonesian city, demonstrating that cognitive awareness is the primary mechanism of attitude formation while conative conversion remains constrained by institutional trust deficits. These findings offer strategic guidance for Islamic philanthropic organizations and digital da'i seeking to design credible, informationally rich, and behaviorally effective campaigns

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of political literacy on students’ understanding of democracy among students enrolled in the Islamic Political Thought Study Program at a  State Islamic University in Lampung in 2024. The study is grounded in the theoretical assumption that political literacy functions as a form of civic competence that shapes students’ capacity to understand, evaluate, and internalize democratic values and practices. This research employed a quantitative survey design using a questionnaire as the primary instrument to measure political literacy as the independent variable and understanding of democracy as the dependent variable. The population consisted of active students of the Islamic Political Thought Study Program at Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Raden Intan Lampung, with 20 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression to examine the direction and magnitude of the relationship between the two variables. The results show that political literacy has a positive and statistically significant effect on students’ understanding of democracy (p < 0.05), indicating that students with higher political literacy tend to demonstrate better understanding of democratic values, participation, and public accountability. The coefficient of determination (R²) further indicates that political literacy contributes meaningfully to explaining variation in students’ democratic understanding, although the remaining variance is influenced by factors outside the model. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening political literacy through curriculum development, student organizational engagement, and civic learning in Islamic higher education. This study contributes empirically to the development of political education research by demonstrating that political literacy plays a significant role in shaping democratic understanding among students in an Islamic academic context.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the business practices of Muslim traders in Martapura City through the framework of Islamic business ethics of Muhammad Umer Chapra, which includes justice (al-'Adl), moral motivation, spiritual accountability, and social welfare. Although Martapura is known sociologically as the “City of Santri”, the tension between traditional religiosity values and the demands of a competitive urban economy often creates ambiguities in the implementation of business ethics in the field that remain underexplored empirically. This qualitative research employed a phenomenological approach. The data was collected through in-depth interviews with eight purposively selected informants, consisting of five traders and three customers in the Martapura trading area. The results of the study show that traders have internalized the principle of fairness through transparency of scales and equal treatment to consumers. Moral motivation and spiritual accountability were reflected in the traders’ eschatological awareness, particularly their belief in the afterlife, that prevents fraudulent practices. In addition, the aspect of social welfare was manifested through the mechanism of zakat and alms that are institutionalized in the local trade culture. These findings confirm that the integrity of Islamic business ethics in Martapura is not merely expressed through individual behavior, but is also shaped by social cohesion and local religious identity, both of which function to mitigate the negative impacts of urban economic competition.

Abstract

Islamic digital wallets require distinct scholarly attention from conventional digital wallets because their adoption is not only shaped by technological convenience, but also by religious values, Sharia compliance, and users’ perceptions of Islamic financial practices. However, empirical studies on Islamic e-wallet adoption remain limited, particularly those integrating by integrating the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), and religiosity among Muslim youth in urban Indonesia. This research examines the factors that influence the intention of urban Muslim youth to use Islamic digital wallets. Using a quantitative methodology, the study collected data from 100 respondents through purposive sampling. Muslim Generation Z users of Islamic e-wallets in Surabaya City were specifically targeted via an online survey. Data analysis was conducted with multiple linear regression in SPSS Version 29. The results reveal that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, religiosity, attitude toward behavior, and perceived behavioral control have a significant and positive effect on the intention to use Islamic e-wallets, while subjective norm shows a significant negative effect on adoption intention. The study asserts that Islamic digital wallet adoption should be understood as a multidimensional phenomenon that combines digital service quality, behavioral intention, and faith-based financial values, with broader implications for strengthening Islamic digital finance and advancing inclusive Sharia-compliant financial services.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how Hulondhalo women, particularly those actively involved in Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) organizations in Gorontalo, interpret and perform their roles in maintaining family resilience amid the dynamics of urban society; how the synergy between Islamic moderation (wasatiyyah), local customs, and the principles of Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah shapes family resilience practices; and how NU women negotiate domestic and public roles within the context of social and digital transformation. This study employs a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design conducted in the urban area of Gorontalo, involving key informants consisting of NU women members in Gorontalo City, traditional leaders, and religious leaders selected purposively. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, and were subsequently analyzed using the interactive analysis technique of Miles and Huberman through the analytical lenses of Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah, local customs, and the principles of wasatiyyah. The findings reveal three major points. First, there is a reinterpretation of the family breadwinner role in which women contribute economically without diminishing the values of family harmony. Second, the strengthening of domestic deliberation (musyawarah) functions as a decision-making mechanism grounded in moderation values. Third, there is an integration between Gorontalo customs and the principles of Maqāṣid in constructing adaptive family norms, including the utilization of digital platforms to reinforce educational and economic family functions. The study also finds that NU women position themselves as guardians of Islamic and cultural values based on the principle of adati hula-hula’a to syar a’, syara’ hula-hula’a to Kitabullah, thereby balancing the demands of modernity with religious values. The originality of this study lies in the formulation of a synthesis framework of adat–Maqāṣid–wasatiyyah as a conceptual model of urban family resilience that is not merely normative, but also contextual and applicable in responding to social, cultural, and digital transformations within urban communities.

Abstract

This study examines sextortion as a form of gender-based sexual corruption within urban Muslim communities, particularly in educational and religious settings, and analyses the role of Fatayat Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) in addressing the culture of silence surrounding the issue. The research employed a qualitative design within an interpretive-critical paradigm. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with ten informants comprising educators, Fatayat NU cadres, urban community members, and students, as well as participant observation and document analysis. The data were analysed using thematic analysis informed by Feminist Standpoint Theory, the Spiral of Silence, social constructionism, and critical communication perspectives. The findings indicate three main themes. First, sextortion is frequently normalised through symbolic authority, moral legitimacy, and ambiguous social relations that obscure coercive practices. Second, fear of stigma, institutional reputation, and digital exposure reinforces a culture of silence, particularly among women in urban religious environments. Third, participatory communication spaces facilitated by Fatayat NU contribute to developing critical awareness and provide alternative forums for articulating women’s experiences, although these initiatives remain limited by uneven institutional support and the absence of integrated protection mechanisms. This study contributes to discussions on gendered corruption and urban Muslim communication by highlighting the relationship between patriarchal power relations, silence, and participatory religious activism in the prevention of sextortion.

Abstract

The study of the Islamic sub-economy in Indonesian cities typically links its expansion to middle-class ethical consumption and development-oriented religiosity. This article challenges that assumption by examining how Islamic moral norms translate into administrative standards, organizational procedures, and market instruments. Drawing on a qualitative analysis of multi-level regulatory and institutional documents on halal governance in Indonesia, the study investigates the institutionalization of halal values within urban economic spaces. Findings indicate that this institutionalization is driven less by consumer demand than by regulatory infrastructures that standardize, certify, and operationalize moral norms across economic sectors. Rather than acting as primary drivers, the urban Muslim middle class appears as a social group that receives, reproduces, and amplifies already-established norms. Based on these findings, the article offers a conceptual model of institutional hybridization: the four-layer hybridization model of the urban Islamic economy—comprising hybrid governance, organizational forms, urban spaces, and subjectivity. This model identifies a sequential mechanism of institutional transformation overlooked in previous studies. Religious values are thus understood not merely as organic ethical expressions but as products of institutional processes that simultaneously standardize, operationalize, and commodify morality within market-oriented governance arrangements. Documentary evidence further suggests the emergence of market-oriented governance rationalities, in which the language of ethical development serves as a source of institutional legitimacy. This study contributes to debates in Islamic political economy by shifting analytical focus from individual ethical consumption toward the regulatory infrastructures through which religious values are standardized, commodified, and circulated in contemporary urban Indonesia.

Abstract

Within the framework of religious demography, religious participation can be understood as a phenomenon shaped by population structure rather than by isolated individual attributes. However, empirical studies of urban Muslim communities in Southeast Asia have rarely examined how demographic characteristics are structurally associated with patterns of religiosity. To address this gap, the present study analyzes the relationship between demographic structure and religious participation among adult Muslims in Banjarmasin, Indonesia. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted with 312 respondents selected through stratified random sampling. Religious participation was operationalized as a multidimensional construct encompassing congregational worship, community religious activities, and religion-based social involvement. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, multiple linear regression, binary logistic regression, and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The regression results show that age and education are positively associated with the intensity of religious participation, while employment status and migration background are negatively associated. The logistic regression model indicates that gender, marital status, and length of residence significantly increase the probability of individuals being classified in the high participation category. At the latent level, the SEM results indicate a statistically significant structural association between demographic structure and religious participation, supporting the view that religiosity in urban settings is linked to individuals’ positions within population configurations. By distinguishing observed-variable and latent-construct analyses, this study contributes to the structural demography of religion by providing empirical evidence that urban Muslim religiosity in Southeast Asia is systematically associated with demographic positioning. The findings enrich the limited literature on urban Muslim religiosity and offer empirically grounded insights for scholars and policymakers concerned with religion, demography, and urban social dynamics.
