Abstract

The transformation of Palestinian solidarity movements through digital platforms represents a critical development in contemporary youth activism, particularly within Muslim-majority contexts where religious identity intersects with political engagement. This editorial examines how Indonesian youth organizations have leveraged digital technologies to mobilize support for Palestine during the 2024-2025 period, building upon historical foundations established since the Soekarno era. The analysis synthesizes recent scholarship on digital activism, crowdfunding initiatives, social media campaigns, and youth mobilization strategies, drawing from empirical studies of hashtag movements, philanthropic organizations, and student networks across Indonesia. Indonesian youth have demonstrated remarkable sophistication in utilizing platforms for solidarity expression, developing diverse campaigns including humanitarian crowdfunding that capitalizes on cultural inclinations toward charitable giving, hashtag activism that functions as tools for mobilization and identity formation, and boycott movements legitimized through religious authority. Islamic university student organizations play multifaceted roles serving as vehicles for political consciousness formation and transnational coordination, while innovative collaborations such as K-pop fandom networks construct digital solidarity through Islamic-pop aesthetics. These movements face significant challenges including maintaining sustained engagement within attention economies, navigating platform governance and algorithmic gatekeeping, and translating online activism into structural change. However, opportunities exist through building institutional capacity, developing interfaith coalitions that transcend religious boundaries, and creating educational partnerships supporting Palestinian resilience. The sustainability of youth-led digital activism depends on integrating online advocacy with community-based initiatives, navigating ideological tensions within collaborative frameworks, and developing mechanisms that extend beyond crisis response toward long-term solidarity infrastructure supporting Palestinian institutions and communities.

Abstract

This study examines the intricate intersection of Islamic thought and Arabic literature within the Nigerian context, highlighting their profound influence on cultural, religious, and intellectual paradigms. By tracing their historical evolution, the research reveals how these narratives have shaped identity formation, social cohesion, and education while remaining dynamic in the face of modern challenges. The analysis draws on historical texts, oral traditions, and contemporary works to illustrate the enduring adaptability of these traditions. Through a multidisciplinary approach, the study emphasises Nigerian Arabic literature's thematic richness and stylistic diversity, demonstrating its capacity to address contemporary issues such as corruption, gender equity, and social justice. The findings show the transformative potential of this interplay, with implications for education reform, cultural policy, and interfaith dialogue. Ultimately, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of Nigeria's intellectual heritage and offers pathways for leveraging this intersection to foster inclusivity and social harmony.

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.
