Abstract

This article interrogates the intricate nexus between Sunni jurisprudence and Sufi mysticism during the Ayyubid and early Mamluk eras, utilizing the preeminent jurist al-ʿIzz ibn ʿAbd al-Salām (d. 660 AH/1262 CE) as a focal point. The study addresses a core historiographical problem: the presence of discordant medieval narratives regarding al-ʿIzz’s formal affiliation with Sufi orders and his jurisprudential stance on Sufi praxis. To resolve this, the research pursues two pivotal questions: To what extent was al-ʿIzz genuinely integrated into Sufi circles, and how did his legal framework delineate the boundaries of permissible Sufi conduct and institutionalization? Employing a qualitative inductive methodology, the research systematically triangulates evidence from al-ʿIzz’s authenticated legal and ethical treatises (primary corpus) against diverse medieval biographical and hagiographical sources (secondary corpus/Ṭabaqāt). This analytical framework facilitates a critical distinction between established doctrinal positions and retroactive hagiographical attributions. The findings demonstrate that while al-ʿIzz maintained a profound intellectual rapport with orthodox Sufi luminaries—notably al-Shādhilī—and embraced the ethical-ascetic dimensions of Taṣawwuf, his verified writings articulate a rigorously selective endorsement. As a reformist jurist, he sanctioned Sufism only insofar as it remained tethered to Shari'ah-centric orthodoxy, while vehemently repudiating ritualistic innovations (Bidʿah) such as Samāʿ (ecstatic sessions). Consequently, the significance of this study lies in redefining al-ʿIzz not as a formal Sufi initiate, but as a paradigmatic “juristic gatekeeper.” These conclusions contribute to the broader discourse on medieval Islamic intellectual history by elucidating the mechanisms of scholarly policing of spiritual boundaries and the complexities of manuscript-based historical reconstruction.

Abstract

This paper seeks to extend the wisdom of Bhagavad Gita to overcome the philosophical limitations of the sustainability conceptualization. The modern concept of sustainability has often been criticized for being anthropocentric and non-inclusive. Its ignorance of existing philosophical traditions further poses limitations on wider scale adoption of the concept. The concept needs to evolve beyond its current anthropocentric view, rooted in Cartesian dualism and Kantian categorical imperatives, to embrace eastern cultural perspectives rooted in non-dualism of the Vedic traditions. The traditional wisdom across cultures will strengthen its philosophical foundations and make it inclusive. The Bhagavad Gita can potentially contribute to enhance the current conceptualization of sustainability at both philosophical and operational level. Using the Gadamerian (philosophical) hermeneutics as a method, the paper demonstrates, how the wisdom in the verses of the Bhagavad Gita's can address sustainability's limitations the paper demonstrates how the wisdom in the verses of the Bhagavad Gita can address sustainability's limitations. It demonstrates, how the wisdom can help overcome the myopic, anthropocentric view of sustainability and make it more inclusive, cross-culturally relevant, and pragmatic. By integrating the diverging Western and Eastern philosophical approaches, we demonstrate how the core of sustainability can be strengthened.

Abstract

It is agreed among mental health experts that Religiosity or issues relating to the human spirit has a role in fostering overall health. This study aimed to investigate the monastic experiences in fostering mental wellbeing and thoroughly explore the Monastic experiences in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. A case study design was employed to achieve the objectives of the study. Purposive samples of nine monks/nuns were interviewed to generate conclusions. The generated findings suggest Monks/nuns in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church (EOTC) monasteries devote their time to undistracted prayer, meditation, obedience and fasting, which in turn supports and/or correlates with mental wellness and positive psychological conceptions. Mindfulness in the monasteries appears to be the solution, which is usually being practiced in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church Monasteries. Mindfulness-oriented therapy in Psychology is getting attention towards its role regarding holistic aspect of health. It is recommended that an updating of training programs for psychotherapists, including the monastic experiences either in formal instructional curriculum or short-term training programs that play its part in achieving the new paradigm in mental health sector. This research hoped to create an insight and courage to look for the faith-based healing practices in order to develop enabling policy framework to promote mental health.

Abstract

This study conducts a comparative analysis of women’s moral agency within two intellectual frameworks: Kant’s practical philosophy and Shi’i Islam. The central research question is: How is the structure of women’s moral agency formulated in these systems, and how does each address the gap between inner subjectivity and the external actualization of agency? In the Kantian section, employing conceptual analysis, the contradiction between the transcendental autonomous subject and the empirical subject of woman characterized by deficient rationality is analyzed as the primary obstacle to the objective realization of women’s agency. In the Shi’i Islamic section, drawing on Quranic foundations such as fiṭrah (primordial nature) and khilāfah (vicegerency), and mediated by the views of Mullā Ṣadrā on substantial motion, Ṭabāṭabāʾī on credal perceptions, and Muṭahharī on psycho-emotional differences, a model of “situated agency” is presented. In this model, women’s psycho-physical differences are regarded not as deficiencies, but as existential gradations and a basis for the wise distribution of responsibilities. The legal institutions of Shi’i Islam, including mahr, nafaqah, and independent property rights, function as structural supports for agency, facilitating the transition from inner subjectivity to external actualization. The novelty of this research lies in its formulation of “religious autonomy” in contrast to Kantian autonomy.

Abstract

This paper offers a redefined, self-management through the lens of ethics, drawing on the early Buddhist canonical texts. By employing a qualitative thematic methodology from focused studies of the, Dīgha Nikāya; Majjhima Nikāya; and, Aṅguttara Nikāya, this study seeks to define self-management as a cohesive, systemic construct that consists of ethical discipline (sīla), mental discipline (samādhi), and wisdom (paññā), and is undergirded by mindfulness (sati) and non-attachment (virāga). The findings reveal that self-management as ethical self-governance is early Buddhism’s perspective as opposed to the understanding of self-management as a neutral and psychological phenomenon. Sila establishes, the self-restraint, moral accountability and trust in the social system; samādhi helps to stabilize attention along with the regulation of emotional reactivity; and, paññā assists in turbulent times with respect to the, reflection under conditions of, complexity and ambiguity. Sati serves as ethical vigilance; allowing persons to unwholesome volitional impulses, and, unwholesome, voluntary impulses to act, while, virāga counteracts ego involvement, fixation on outcomes, and, assists, with ethical consistency under pressure. These sets are viewed as operating situationally as system. Re-establishing both the ethical and epistemic coherence of Buddhist self-management, this study provides a conceptually sound alternative to the more instrumental and reductionist interpretations of mindfulness and emotional regulation. In leadership and organizational studies, it advances an integrated model of ethical self-regulation that considers the interplay of the three components of Buddhism, i.e., morality, emotional regulation, and wisdom, without collapsing Buddhist doctrine to instrumentalist ends.

Abstract

This study examined the impact of Islamic tolerance awareness on perceived academic and societal tolerance among university students in the United Arab Emirates. The study consisted of 422 participants representing diverse genders, age groups, academic levels, and specializations. Findings of the study reveal a high level of Islamic tolerance awareness among the participants, with no statisticalsignificant demographic differences. While societal tolerance perceptions were largely equal across demographics, gender-based differences emerged in academic tolerance, with male students reported higher perceptions than females. Correlational analyses demonstrated strong interrelationships between tolerance awareness, academic tolerance, and societal tolerance, while regression results confirmed that awareness significantly enhances students perceptions towards academic and social tolerances.

Abstract

Education is a key factor in strengthening the direction of a civilisation, and in Malaysia, its implementation is based on the National Education Philosophy (NEP). The 21st-century education emphasizes knowledge delivery, innovation, technological competence and the holistic and integrated development of human capital. Teaching and learning (T&L) conducted by teachers at Religious Primary Schools (SRA) under the supervision of the Melaka Islamic Religious Department (JAIM) follows the curriculum of the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM). However, research on the development of contemporary pedagogical methods remains limited. This study identifies the key elements contributing to the effectiveness of teaching and learning among SRAJAIM teachers based on Al-Ghazali’s educational principles, which emphasize the balance between character, knowledge and practice, and develops a context-appropriate T&L model. The qualitative study employed literature review and focus group discussions (FGD) involving approximately 40 informants, with data analysed using NVivo software. The findings indicate that the T&L practices of SRAJAIM teachers are consistent with the NEP, particularly with regard to lifelong learning and holistic integrated approaches. Accordingly, the IQRAK Model was developed as a novel contribution and represents the first structured T&L model specifically designed and implemented within the JAIM education system to strengthen human capital development in a holistic and balanced manner.
Applying Al-Ta’lil bi Al-Hikmah to Social Media Use: A Complementary to the Maqasid Shariah Approach in Islamic Digital Ethics Lokman, Md Azzaat Ahsanie; Mohd Noor, Muaz; Mohamad Nadzli, Nurin Sofiya; Suyurno, S Salahudin; Harun, Muhammad Safwan; Kayadibi, Saim

Abstract

The rapid expansion of social media has generated significant ethical challenges, including misinformation, harmful online discourse, privacy erosion, and excessive digital consumption. Although Islamic ethics has increasingly engaged these issues, primarily through Maqasid Shariah-based frameworks, existing approaches often remain too general to guide the everyday moral decisions faced by individual users in digitally mediated environments. Addressing this gap, this study examines the application of al-Ta’lil bi al-Hikmah, a jurisprudential method that derives ethical judgment from the underlying wisdom (hikmah) of Islamic norms, to contemporary social media use. Employing a qualitative jurisprudential analysis grounded in usul fiqh, the study conducts an interpretive textual analysis of Quranic injunctions, Prophetic traditions, and classical juristic discussions to identify core ethical wisdom related to communication, privacy, moderation, and accountability. These insights are then thematically applied to key domains of social media practice, including content sharing, online criticism, time management, and the ethical implications of algorithmic influence at the level of user behaviour. The analysis demonstrates that a hikmah-centred approach enables more nuanced moral discernment than rule-based or exclusively Maqasid-oriented models by translating higher ethical objectives into actionable guidance for individual digital conduct. Conceptually and methodologically, this study advances Islamic digital ethics by operationalising al-Ta’lil bi al-Hikmah as a complementary framework that refines Maqasid reasoning at the micro-ethical level. In doing so, it offers a principled yet flexible model for ethical social media engagement that aligns individual integrity with broader Islamic moral objectives.

Abstract

This study enhances the developing dialogue on immersive technology in Islamic higher education by investigating the factors influencing metaverse acceptability in the instruction of Hadith and the Prophetic Biography, utilizing the Unified Theory of acceptability and Use of Technology (UTAUT2). This study examines the impact of performance expectancies, perceived ease of use, institutional support, motivation, hedonic enjoyment, and demographic variables on Sharia-informed digital pedagogy, while offering ethically based implementation instructions to address a significant vacuum in the field. The study used a quantitative descriptive-analytical design. An online survey was used to gather information from (201) Al Qasimia University staff and students (out of a total population of 300) during the second semester of the 2025–2026 school year. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was used in the UTAUT2 framework to examine structural relationships. The findings show that while enabling environments improve implementation, behavioural intention is highly predicted by motivation, perceived ease of use, and performance expectancy. Differences by gender and age were statistically significant. The findings contribute theoretically by contextualizing UTAUT2 within Islamic pedagogical environments and practically by outlining culturally and religiously responsive design principles. The paper offers an empirically supported paradigm for the ethical and Sharia-compliant incorporation of metaverse technology into Islamic sciences curricula at the university level.
