Abstract

This article examines the principle of 'resolving grievances for mutual beneficence' (Haewon-sangsaeng) in Kang Jeungsan's (1871-1909) Reordering Works, a series of religious rituals performed in early 20th-century Korea. These rituals addressed systemic inequities affecting various marginalized groups, including revolutionaries, economically disadvantaged people, lower classes, and women. While conventional approaches to social harmony typically emphasize political, institutional, or economic measures, Kang's framework distinctively integrates the resolution of grievances at both individual and collective levels. This approach emerges from an anthropocentric worldview that elevates human dignity while acknowledging the interconnection between the divine and human realms. Through an analysis of primary texts and comparative religious perspectives, this study demonstrates how Kang's principle of resolving grievances for mutual beneficence offers a comprehensive religious framework for achieving justice and peace by synthesizing personal transformation with broader social change.

Abstract

The national cultures of Latin America and the Caribbean owe an important part of their historical formation to the settlement of enslaved Africans during the XVI - XIX centuries. The religions of African antecedents in Cuba constitute hard nuclei of cultural resistance, where the process of transculturation has left its mark. The study analyzes diverse epistemological positions of some researchers, as well as oral testimonies of religious and practitioners. The research is based on a systematic review with a critical approach based on the method of analysis and synthesis. The results offered reveal that religions of African origin have contributed significantly to the development of Latin American and Caribbean cultural identity. The resurgence of the Yoruba religion in Cuba is an example of the cultural legacy inherited from the transculturation process and passed down from generation to generation, enduring over time.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors that determine the profitability of insurance Takaful companies in Palestine; the study population consisted of insurance Companies listed at the Palestine Stock Exchange during the period (2018-2022). We collected the data from the reports of two Takaful Insurance companies for the period 2018-2022. The researcher used the multiple regression econometrics models.  The study shows that profitability was usually expressed as a function of internal and external determinants. Results of the study confirm that liquidity, Leverage are the factors that significantly affect the profitability of Takaful insurance companies in Palestine. Size, Leverage, Tangibility of assets, Growth rate of GDP, and Inflation Rate affect the profitability positively, but liquidity has a negative effect on profitability. Size, Tangibility of assets, Growth rate of GDP, and Inflation Rate have insignificant impacts on ROE and ROA. The key implications of these findings suggest that Palestinian insurance companies should consider diversifying their portfolios beyond motor insurance to improve profitability. Additionally, it is recommended that companies explore merger opportunities to increase operational scale and achieve economies of scale. Furthermore, maintaining a high level of liquidity is crucial, as it allows companies to effectively secure bids and promptly settle claims, which not only enhances their reputation but also positively impacts profitability.

Abstract

Gig economy refers to the current trend of flexible work arrangements intermediated by present technological advances, benefitting both the gig workforce and businesses employing them, contributing to economic sustainability. Flexible work schedule enables the gig workforce to diverse work and earn additional income, while providing businesses a cost saving talent pool as their service is time-based or task based. Nevertheless, the flexibility challenges the gig workforce in terms of job security, employee rights and benefits, health and safety protection and income volatility. Therefore, employing a content analysis approach, this article deduces the contemporary essentials of the contract workforce in accordance with maqasid shariah, upholding the protection of five necessities: religion, life, intellect, dignity, and property. For that purpose, the challenges of the gig workforce are analysed and compared to the shariah's recommendations. The study concludes on insightful support as recommendations for the government to consider when developing and enhancing pertinent policies in safeguarding the welfare of the gig workers.

Abstract

This research explores the interplay of social memory, identity, and social solidarity in the Muslim community in Thailand. The research uses an exploratory sequential mixed-method design. First, a total of 150 participants were involved in the quantitative approach which obtained through an online survey and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test the research hypotheses. The second stage involved interviews with fithteen Muslim community leaders to investigate how individual and collective practices contribute to preserving the community's identity, tolerance and social memory. The findings reveal that social solidarity, reflected in mosque gatherings, cultural events, mutual support systems, and collective economic initiatives, is crucial in preserving tolerance, social memory and reinforcing communal identity. Solitary religious practices, like prayer and reflection, enhanced individual connections to the community's history, while participation in communal activities strengthened shared identity. The Muslim community leaders identified the mosque as a religious centre and a hub for transmitting historical knowledge and fostering religious moderation and social cohesion. This result extending the understanding of how social memory and identity are maintained in Thai Muslim communities, particularly minority groups like Phu Khao Thong. Particularly in light of modernisation and evolving socio-economic conditions globally.

Abstract

The issue of parenting style in the family is one of the issues that need to be strengthened and given focus nowadays in order to overcome the increasing problems and cases of teenagers such as pregnancy outside of marriage, free sex, dumping babies, skipping school, smoking, drugs, rape, prostitution, robbery, theft, bullying, running away from home and murder. This is because one of the factors that contribute to the misbehavior of teenage children is caused by the behavior of parents and family values that are fading and fragile. A few teenagers were found to receive less love, attention, feeling alone, less appreciated and less trusted by their parents. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the practice of parenting through the spiritual aspects of the family according to the perspective of teenagers. The design of this study is a quantitative survey study through the distribution of questionnaires to 523 respondents among teenagers in Malaysia and Indonesia. The data were analyzed descriptively using SPSS. Expectations of the results of this study can provide input on the parenting style practiced in the family. It can also be used by stakeholders in efforts to promote education and parenting guidance based on the guidance of al-Quran, al-Sunnah and the recommendations of Islamic scholars towards forming quality youth human capital as well as a prosperous family and society.

Abstract

This study aims to compare the fatwa on the use of menstrual delay medicine for women in Ramadan issued by Dar al-Ifta' al-Misriyyah and the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) from the perspective of maqasid al-shari'ah. Both institutions play an important role in determining sharia law for Muslims in their respective countries. The main focus of this study is how the fatwas issued are in line with the principles of maqasid al-shari'ah, namely fulfilling the kulliyyat al-khams and i'tibar al-maal. The comparative method was used to analyse the similarities and differences in the legal approaches taken by these two institutions. Data collection was carried out through documentation and comparison methods, while data analysis was also carried out through descriptive qualitative methods by making maqasid al-shari'ah the main measuring stick. The result of the study shows that the fatwa of Dar al-Ifta' al -Misriyyah tends to be more open in allowing the use of drugs to delay menstruation in the month of Ramadan with certain conditions that prioritise health safety. In contrast, MUI's fatwa is more cautious, emphasises the health aspect as a priority, and does not recommend the use of period-delaying drugs in Ramadan except in emergencies. This difference reflects the diversity of understanding of maqasid al-shari'ah in responding to contemporary needs regarding women's acts of worship. It is hoped that the results of this study will provide a deeper understanding of the sharia implications of using a menstrual delay medicine in Ramadan and how maqasid al-shari'ah is applied in these fatwas.

Abstract

This study aimed to test the hypothesized positive impact of the College of Islamic Studies at Yarmouk University on students’ inclination toward Jurisprudential Madhhabs. The analysis was based on data collected from a random sample of students (N = 224, 69.2 % female) at Jordan’s Yarmouk University using an online survey during the 2023–2024 academic school year. The questionnaire comprised four scales presenting the Sunni sects of Hanafism, Malikism, Shafi’ism, and Hanbalism as closely related to the Jordanian community. The correlation between the students’ variables was tested. A hierarchical regression analysis was then conducted to explore the impact of the college, gender, and study year variables on two scales that correlate with study variables. The regression analysis results indicated that the College of Islamic Studies significantly influenced the Shafi’ism scale. In contrast, other colleges had an impact on the Hanbalism scale. However, the number of study years did not significantly impact the scales. This study, with its potential to dramatically inform strategic plans for higher education outcomes, underscores the importance of our understanding of the relationship between specialized education and societal culture. It offers hope for the future of religious education by shedding light on this crucial relationship.

Abstract

This research delves into the education system and network of Quran memorization Islamic boarding schools (also known as pondok pesantren tahfidz Quran in Bahasa Indonesia) in Kudus, Surakarta, and Bogor. The study was conducted in Pondok Pesantren Yanbu'ul Qur'an in Kudus, Ma’had Tahfizhul Qur’an, Yayasan Sosial dan Pendidikan Islam Isy Karima in Surakarta, and Pesantren Terpadu Darul Qur’an Mulia in Bogor. The research methodology employed was a descriptive, analytical, and historical approach integrated and presented through qualitative processes involving data collection through observation, interviews, and document analysis at the three Quran memorization Islamic boarding schools. The data analysis steps include data reduction, data display, and data verification through triangulation. The research findings indicate the uniqueness or characteristics of each Quran memorization Islamic boarding schools. Pondok Pesantren Yanbu'ul Qur'an has the uniqueness of five concepts: sincerity, obedience, compliance, the importance of quality, patience, and meticulousness. Meanwhile, Ma’had Tahfizhul Qur’an, Yayasan Sosial dan Pendidikan Islam Isy Karima required students to complete the recitation of the entire Quran, 30 chapters, within a duration of two years, utilizing visual, audio, and kinesthetic techniques. Pesantren Terpadu Darul Qur’an Mulia features comprehensive interaction in a halaqoh format encompassing techniques such as recitation, comprehension, memorization, and application that nurture noble character. Regarding the inevitability of the network, the research emphasizes that the Quran memorization Islamic boarding schools serves as a focal point for the community. Although exclusively owned by the kyai (Muslim leader), these Quran memorization Islamic boarding schools remain a possession of the broader community, with a self-reliant management system independent of specific government or non-governmental organizations.
