Abstract

This article analyzes the main geopolitical and ethnocultural factors that influenced the spread and social embedding of Islam in Xinjiang (also referred to in some historical usages as East Turkestan). To address the recurrent mismatch between region-wide claims and community-specific evidence, the study adopts an explicitly comparative lens: it draws on the substantial English-language scholarship on Uyghur religious history and authority formation, while also integrating Kazakh- and Russian-language historiography and regional publications on Kazakh communities in Xinjiang as an analytically important minority case. Using a historical-comparative design complemented by geopolitical analysis and content analysis, the article applies a four-phase periodization and examines each phase through common explanatory lenses: (1) geopolitical setting and external linkages, (2) political power and elite incentives, (3) religious authority networks and institutions (including Sufi lineages), and (4) ethnocultural boundary-making and cultural production. The findings support a multi-driver account of Islamization in which connectivity, elite sponsorship, and authority infrastructures interact, with driver salience shifting across historical phases. By reducing language segmentation in the field and distinguishing majority (Uyghur) and minority (Kazakh) configurations, the study offers a mechanism-oriented synthesis and identifies priorities for future comparative research on Islam, ethnicity, and governance in Xinjiang.

Abstract

Debates over the protection of civilians in times of armed conflict are often framed within political or legal discourse, yet their foundations lie deeply in religious and humanitarian ethics. This study contends that the obligation to safeguard non-combatants predates international law and is rooted in the moral teachings of the Abrahamic religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Rather than questioning the legitimacy of war itself, the paper focuses on affirming the right to life and dignity for those uninvolved in combat, deriving this principle from sacred scriptures that uphold the sanctity of human existence and peace. Through an analytical-inductive method, relevant texts from the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, and the Qur’an, together with rabbinical writings, patristic sources, and prophetic traditions, are examined to extract ethical norms governing war-fare. A comparative reading highlights shared religious values that converge on the protection of civilians and the rejection of unjust violence. Employing a contextual reflective lens, the study connects these principles to present-day realities of war, seeking to awaken the global moral conscience toward the preservation of human life. The findings reveal that the Abrahamic faiths collectively provide a theological foundation for a universal humanitarian ethic that transcends religious and cultural divides.

Abstract

Malaysia is globally recognised for its comprehensive Hajj management system, spearheaded by Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH), which integrates financial, logistical, and spiritual preparation for pilgrims. With the growing interest in deploying artificial intelligence (AI) to provide real-time religious guidance, questions arise regarding the permissibility, reliability, and institutional implications of AI-supported fatwa delivery. In the Malaysian context, fatwa issuance remains a state prerogative vested in the Mufti and State Fatwa Committees, with binding effect only upon royal consent and gazettement, while national-level resolutions and Hajj-specific Muzakarah serve an advisory and operational role. This article aims to conceptualise a Sharīʿah-compliant and state-aligned framework for the use of AI as a supportive mechanism in fatwa delivery within Malaysian Hajj management, grounded in maqāṣid al-sharīʿah and existing fatwa governance structures. Employing a qualitative doctrinal approach, the study integrates analysis of uṣūl al-fiqh principles governing valid fatwa issuance, Malaysian legal–institutional arrangements, and recurrent Hajj-related issues documented in state fatāwā and Resolusi Muzakarah Haji Kebangsaan. It further evaluates the opportunities and epistemic risks associated with generative AI, including hallucinated rulings, jurisdictional confusion, and erosion of scholarly accountability. The analysis proposes a hybrid conceptual model in which AI functions strictly as a supportive tool rather than a substitute for human scholarship. The model emphasises retrieval-augmented generation grounded in curated and authenticated Malaysian fatwa corpora, clear differentiation between binding and advisory rulings, embedded evidentiary reasoning (istidlāl), escalation protocols to accredited muftīs, and institutional audit mechanisms. Framed through the higher objectives of Islamic law—particularly the protection of religion, life, intellect, dignity, and wealth—the proposed framework demonstrates that AI-supported fatwa delivery is normatively defensible only when tethered to state authority and governed by robust Sharīʿah and ethical safeguards. By aligning technological innovation with Malaysia’s established fatwa governance and maqāṣid-based ethics, this article contributes a context-sensitive blueprint for responsible AI integration in Hajj management, with potential relevance for other Muslim jurisdictions facing similar challenges.

Abstract

When competing hypotheses show equal explanatory strength, philosophers and scientists often prefer the simpler proposition in the process of theory selection. However, contemporary atheistic arguments, especially the APA, misappropriate parsimony by excluding the God hypothesis from the explanatory system. Here, I evaluate the legitimacy of the APA through an analytical method grounded in Thagard’s coherence principles and Swinburne’s explanatory model to examine whether simplicity alone can serve as a criterion for theory selection. The results show that the APA does not satisfy established coherence criteria, improperly elevating simplicity over explanatory power. Finally, the study proposes a Cross-Domain Coherence (CDC) model that emphasizes multidimensional approaches to theory choice beyond ontological minimalism, offering a framework capable of explaining reality in its full complexity.

Abstract

This article examines how Catholic ethical principles are transformed into faith-based social responsibility within the context of community-based tourism development in Ngu Hiep Islet, a distinctive ecological–cultural area in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. The study employs the theoretical framework of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) alongside Catholic Social Teaching (CST) to elucidate the interconnections among faith, ethical conduct, and sustainable development. Qualitative data were collected through 20 in-depth interviews, participant observation, and analysis of secondary documents within the local Catholic community. The findings reveal that faith not only shapes spiritual life but also frames labor values, a service-oriented mindset, and environmental awareness. The parish operates as a moral–social institution that coordinates and supervises community behavior in accordance with the principle of “serving in love.” Building on these insights, the article proposes a Faith-Based CSR model as an alternative approach to conventional CSR, thereby offering a theoretical lens through which to understand the role of religion in promoting sustainable community-based tourism and fostering an ethical social order in rural Vietnam.
