Abstract

Human life and the environment are inextricably linked to each other. The environment provides all the necessary elements important to human existence. But the mankind has some duties too. But we are often avoiding these duties. Though we know the impact of environment in our lives but awareness has been a long due. Even integrating it with general education, campaigns, legal measures often fall short in establishing the thing. In this study we tried to analyze if we can solve the problem by connecting religion and environment. This study disseminates the conservation of the environment in accordance with the rules of Qur'an and Hadith, and conducts surveys among environmentalists and Islamic thinkers to find out how practical and useful these rules of the Islam are in protection of the environment. Information about the rules of Islam on conservation of the environment has been taken through conducting questionnaire survey and FGD (Focus Group Discussion) among Islamic thinkers. In this case, they have expressed the opinion that it is possible to protect the environment in accordance with Islamic law. Environmentalists were asked if it was possible to protect the environment based on Islamic rules. 70% expressed the opinion that protection of the environment is possible if Islamic rules are properly implemented. But rest of them have expressed different views and said that beside Islamic law, environmental law needs to be updated and implemented properly to protect the environment. Similar studies have been conducted in other countries also. Indonesia and Malaysia are prominent of them. Furthermore, it has been proved that the connecting environmental conservation with Islamic teachings provide impactful results. This study aims to correlate the Islamic concepts in preserving the environment and their impacts in perspective of Bangladesh.

Abstract

The University of Ilorin Law Referencing Style (UNILARS) is adopted for postgraduate researchers as guide for referencing in academic writings. This also include Islamic law researches. The guide has been in place for more than a decade. Student researchers have always struggled to comply with the obvious requirement of the guidelines, despite its various discrepancies and ambiguous provisions. In the case of Islamic Law researchers, it became more perplexed adopting UNILARS due to the wide vacuum existing in the guidelines regarding Islamic law literature and their unique features in the manner of its presentation; writing names, dates, title of literature, correct manner of referencing Qur‘ān and Hadīth etc. Although, the identified lacuna is not peculiar to UNILARS alone, various other referencing styles also fall short of the recognition. Unity of style in referencing Islamic law literature could however not be achieved, despite adopting a referencing style. These have one way or the other, contribute to the challenges of adopting UNILARS and some other referencing styles in academic writings. This research therefore identified some of the challenges embedded in adopting UNILARS, through doctrinal cum non-doctrinal but qualitative research methodology. The research found and highlights some of the uniqueness of Islamic Law literature which are paramount for consideration in styling any referencing guide. A model referencing style is therefore proposed for Islamic law researchers named: University of Ilorin Shari‘ah Law Referencing Style (UNISLARS) to curb the challenges.

Abstract

The media plays a significant role in influencing various aspects of society, including the increasingly popular practice of pre-wedding photography. In Islam, until a valid marriage contract (akad) is conducted, couples remain non-mahram and are required to observe religious boundaries. This study aims to examine pre-wedding photography practices at Ullah Studio from the perspective of Islamic legal sociology. A qualitative approach was applied using literature studies and textual, contextual, and inter-contextual data analysis. The results show that pre-wedding photography at this studio adheres to Islamic ethics and legal principles, with no physical contact or interactions that violate religious norms. Pre-wedding photography is considered an acceptable cultural practice as long as it remains within the boundaries of Islamic teachings.

Abstract

In this research, the concept of cause was discussed. This concept is central in jurisprudential studies. Attempts were made to throw light on the concept and its common literal and jurisprudential aspects. A special part was dedicated to the approach of the author of the book Precision of Principles of Judgements, which is specialized in developing the principles of jurisprudence. The latter effort was made to explain Al-Amedi’s point of view regarding the concept of cause and the relevant Sharia and rational orders and purposes.

Abstract

This study compares theft sanctions in the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP), classical Islamic criminal law, and Muhammad Syahrur’s Theory of Hudud. The findings show fundamental normative and practical differences among the three systems. KUHP emphasizes flexibility, rehabilitation, and human rights, while classical Islamic law stipulates strict hudud amputation under very specific conditions. Syahrur offers a contextual reinterpretation by viewing amputation as the maximum limit, allowing alternative sanctions such as imprisonment or fines that remain within sharia boundaries. His approach provides a more humane and adaptable model suitable for Indonesia’s pluralistic legal context. Although Syahrur’s theory is widely appreciated in theft cases, its broader application in other areas of Islamic law remains controversial. This study contributes to ongoing efforts to harmonize divine principles with modern legal and human rights standards.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the concept of restorative justice within the perspective of Islamic law and to explore its relevance to the modern criminal justice system. Using a literature review method, this research analyzes twenty accredited scientific articles published between 2015-2025. The findings indicate that the fundamental values of restorative justice, such as sulh, diyyah, and afw, have long been recognized in the tradition of Islamic law. This approach places emphasis not only on punishment but also on reconciliation, victim recovery, and the reintegration of offenders into society. In the context of contemporary legal practice, restorative justice has the potential to address issues such as excessive criminalization, prison overcrowding, and the declining public trust in legal institutions. However, its implementation requires regulatory support, professional training for law enforcement officers, and the internalization of maqashid sharia values within the national legal system. This study concludes that restorative justice is not only compatible with Islamic law but can also serve as a strategic approach to building a legal system that is more humane and socially just

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Drug Free Program or “bersinar” conducted by the National Narcotics Board of Palu City in addressing family resilience dysfunction and to analyze these efforts from the perspective of Maqashid Syariah. Using a qualitative empirical approach with descriptive analysis this study gathers data through in depth interviews observations and documentation involving various stakeholders in Palu City. The results indicate that the “bersinar” program has not yet achieved optimal effectiveness in overcoming family resilience dysfunction due to several inhibiting factors such as inconsistent coordination between agencies limited budget for rehabilitation services and low community participation caused by social stigma. Furthermore many families of drug users exhibit structural and functional disturbances including poor communication and lack of emotional support which hinder the recovery process of addicts. From the perspective of Maqashid Syariah the success of narcotics prevention is deeply rooted in the protection of the five essential elements especially the soul and the intellect which can only be achieved if family resilience is functioning optimally as the primary social defense.

Abstract

AI has inevitably become part of all areas of business and society, including banks and finance houses, and this has necessitated the formulation of various AI ethical frameworks like that of international organisations like UNESCO and EU among others. However, with due consideration of the uniqueness of Islamic finance, guided by Islamic ethical principles, which is built on objectives of shar’ah (maqasid As-Shar’iah), which emphasize benefit’s promotion (that is, jalb al-maslahah) and harm prevention (that is, dar’ al-mafsadah, there is need to explore the possible areas of convergence, divergence or gaps between the global AI ethical principles as prepared by the EU, OECD, UNESCO among others and Islamic finance ethics enshrined in maqasid as-Shariah, therefore, the aim of this paper is to comparatively analyse global AI ethics frameworks as well as Islamic ethical principles, particularly from maqasid as-Shariah perspective, by devising a shariah compliant framework of Islamic AI ethics principles for implementation in the Islamic FinTech sector. The study adopts qualitative content analysis methodology, supported by thematic analysis through manual tagging of the various ethical principles. Findings show that there is a substantial alignment between the three reviewed global AI ethics principles and Islamic ethics principles, not with standing the issues of intention and sources of the ethics—secular and divine. The resultant framework would help in guiding AI development in Islamic fintech.

Abstract

This study analyzes the challenges of single mother parenting and its legal consequences from an Islamic law perspective at the Office of the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Palu City. Using a qualitative approach, data were gathered through interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed via reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The results reveal that single mothers face significant emotional and economic shifts, including limited time with children due to increased work demands. To compensate, these mothers adopt dual roles as both provider and nurturer. The findings indicate that while single parents encounter obstacles in child discipline, they predominantly implement democratic parenting. From an Islamic law perspective, this democratic approach is considered the most suitable for child development. The study recommends that religious institutions intensify family law outreach and counseling specifically for single mothers. Furthermore, cross-sector collaboration between the Ministry of Religious Affairs, social services, and child protection agencies is essential to establish a robust support system for single-parent households.
