Abstract

This article examines wife’s right to reject polygamy in the perspective of maslahah mursalah within the context of contemporary Islamic family law and Indonesian positive law. The study aims to clarify whether a wife’s refusal of polygamy can be normatively recognized as a legitimate legal and ethical stance that safeguards justice and family welfare. Using a qualitative, normative legal methodology based on document and library research, the analysis draws on legislation, Qur’anic and Hadith texts, classical and contemporary fiqh, court decisions, and scholarly works on polygamy and maslahah mursalah. The findings show that polygamy in Islam is legally permitted but strictly conditioned on the husband’s ability to uphold justice in material and emotional terms, while Indonesian law adopts monogamy as the main principle and allows polygamy only as a limited exception under stringent procedural and substantive requirements, including court permission and the wife’s consent. Empirical indications, such as increasing divorce cases related to polygamy, and case law where courts reject polygamy petitions that fail to meet legal standards, demonstrate that polygamy often generates harm rather than welfare for wives and families. Through the lens of maslahah mursalah, the wife’s right to reject polygamy is interpreted as a legitimate effort to prevent psychological, social, and economic harm and to preserve the integrity and well-being of the family. The article concludes that recognizing this right is consistent with the objectives of Islamic law and strengthens the protective function of Indonesian family law, offering a doctrinal basis for more justice-oriented interpretations of polygamy regulations.

Abstract

The gold mining conflict in Tumpang Pitu, Banyuwangi, illustrates the clash between economic interests, environmental sustainability, and local community rights. This study aims to explore the relevance of environmental jurisprudence from an Islamic perspective, particularly in addressing ecological degradation and social inequality caused by mining activities. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research analyzes the environmental and social consequences of mining operations in Tumpang Pitu, focusing on Islamic principles such as environmental preservation, the objectives of Islamic law, and human responsibility as stewards of the earth. The findings reveal that the conversion of protected forests into production forests, driven by corporate and political interests, led to significant ecological damage, including floods and deteriorating water quality. Local communities, particularly fishermen, have suffered from the environmental degradation that mining caused. The study highlights how Islamic environmental jurisprudence provides a framework for ecological justice, advocating for sustainable practices and equitable resource distribution. It underscores the importance of integrating Islamic values into environmental policy and development, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach that combines spirituality, rationality, and social responsibility. Ultimately, this research calls for the adoption of environmental jurisprudence as a foundation for promoting ecological sustainability and justice in the face of modern industrial practices.

Abstract

This study examines Bulgaria’s institutional, infrastructural, and market readiness to develop specialized cold-chain logistics for agri-food exports to the MENA and Eurasian regions. Applying a qualitative methodology grounded in documentary analysis and SWOT evaluation, the research integrates national policy documents, legislative frameworks, and international indices to assess the coherence between agricultural production potential and logistical capabilities. Findings reveal a clear asymmetry between Bulgaria’s strong agroecological base and its limited institutional capacity to manage temperature-sensitive and certified exports. The absence of a unified national authority for certification, traceability, and cold-chain governance results in fragmented responsibilities and inefficiencies across ministries. Although Bulgaria benefits from favorable geography, access to EU funding, and inclusion in trans-European corridors, infrastructural specialization for perishable goods remains underdeveloped. The SWOT analysis identifies governance fragmentation and lack of refrigerated terminals as critical weaknesses, while opportunities arise from expanding halal markets and EU green logistics initiatives. The results confirm the hypothesis that institutional and infrastructural integration—rather than productive capacity—is the key determinant of Bulgaria’s export competitiveness. The study concludes that creating a national cold-chain and certification framework, aligned with EU and international standards, could reposition Bulgaria as a strategic logistics hub linking European production to dynamic MENA and Eurasian food markets.

Abstract

This article addresses the escalating global ecological crisis by reexamining the relevance of Islamic law through the lens of Green Maqashid, aiming to reconstruct the purposes of Islamic law so they respond adequately to contemporary environmental challenges. It seeks to demonstrate that the objectives of Islamic law (maqashid al-shari‘ah) possess an inherent ecological dimension that has not been systematically articulated within classical formulations. The study employs a qualitative, normative-conceptual methodology based on critical textual analysis of classical and contemporary maqashid scholarship, combined with an interdisciplinary engagement with Islamic environmental ethics and sustainability discourse. Drawing on modern maqashid theory, particularly systems-oriented and value-based approaches, the article develops the concept of Green Maqashid as an integrative framework. The main findings show that environmental protection can be coherently embedded within the structure of maqashid al-shari‘ah by reinterpreting its core objectives in relation to ecological balance, intergenerational justice, and public welfare. Green Maqashid reframes the protection of religion, life, intellect, progeny, and wealth through an ecological perspective, while also emphasizing environmental preservation as a foundational concern of Islamic law. The discussion highlights how this framework aligns Islamic normative principles with global sustainability agendas and provides ethical guidance for public policy, economic instruments, and community-based environmental initiatives. The article concludes that Green Maqashid offers a robust conceptual contribution to Islamic legal theory by expanding its moral horizon and practical relevance, with significant implications for developing environmentally responsible governance, sustainable economic practices, and faith-based ecological engagement.

Abstract

This study examines the integration of educational tourism (edu-tourism) and the creative economy in Kampung Inggris Pare, East Java, an educational village known for its non-formal English language learning ecosystem. The research aims to design a sustainable village development model based on Islamic economic values, emphasizing participation, justice, and general welfare. Using an exploratory descriptive qualitative approach, the study employs field observations, in-depth interviews, and a literature review to analyze the socio-economic dynamics shaping the community. The findings reveal a paradox: while Kampung Inggris Pare thrives as an educational hub, local community involvement in the tourism economy remains limited. Despite the growth of hundreds of language institutions attracting thousands of students monthly, most institutions operate independently, reducing local participation and limiting the economic multiplier effect. The study suggests that integrating the pentahelix collaboration framework and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah principles can create an inclusive governance model for the development of Islamic edu-tourism. The proposed model connects language institutions, local businesses, village governments, academia, and media in a collaborative effort. The study contributes to the field by offering an Islamic Edu-Creative Tourism Governance Model, balancing economic growth, social justice, and moral integrity. These findings provide insights for future research and policy formulation, suggesting further exploration through mixed-methods approaches and comparative studies to deepen understanding and enhance the sustainability of community-based tourism in alignment with Islamic values.

Abstract

This study examines the factors behind the imposition of Military Emergency Status in Aceh between 1998 and 2005, a period marked by prolonged armed conflict between the Government of Indonesia and the Free Aceh Movement. The article aims to explain why the state ultimately resorted to military emergency rule by analyzing the interaction of geographic, economic, and political conditions that shaped the conflict. Using a qualitative library-based research design, the study relies on historical analysis of books, academic articles, official regulations, and credible reports related to the Aceh conflict. The collected materials are critically reviewed, categorized, and interpreted to reconstruct the policy context and conflict dynamics leading to the declaration of military emergency. The findings show that Aceh’s strategic geography, particularly in Aceh Timur and surrounding areas, facilitated mobility, logistical access, and cross-regional connections that strengthened armed resistance. Economically, despite abundant natural resources, local communities experienced marginalization, limited participation in resource management, and persistent inequality, which intensified social grievances. Politically, unresolved human rights violations during the previous Military Operations Area period, weak law enforcement, and declining public trust in civilian governance contributed to growing support for the Free Aceh Movement. The failure of peace negotiations and the escalation of violence further reinforced the state’s preference for a security-based approach. In conclusion, the study argues that the Military Emergency Status in Aceh was not a sudden policy choice but the result of accumulated geographic vulnerabilities, economic injustice, and political dissatisfaction. These findings highlight the importance of addressing structural inequalities and political accountability as essential lessons for conflict resolution and sustainable peacebuilding in post-conflict regions.

Abstract

The rapid development of the digital economy has significantly transformed the financial behavior of young Muslims. Generation Z, born into a technology-driven era, actively engages in digital transactions, online investments, and cashless payment systems. However, despite their high digital literacy, many lack an understanding of Islamic financial ethics and Qur’anic principles in economic activities. The increasing trends of online loans, impulsive consumption, and ignorance of halal–haram boundaries in financial practices indicate a low level of Islamic financial literacy among this generation. This study introduces an innovative approach through the development of a Qur’an-Based Digital Educational Game as a medium to enhance basic Islamic financial literacy among Generation Z. The innovation responds to the learning style of digital natives, who prefer interactive, visual, and experience-based learning environments. By integrating game-based learning with Qur’anic values such as the prohibition of riba (Qur’an 2:275–279), the virtue of honesty (Qur’an 83:1–3), and the obligation of zakat (Qur’an 9:103), the game aims to convey Islamic financial concepts in an engaging, ethical, and spiritually enriching way. A Systematic Literature Study (SLS) method is employed to examine scholarly works on the integration of Islamic values into digital education, Gen Z’s financial behavior, and strategies for strengthening Islamic financial literacy. The results highlight that embedding Qur’anic ethics into digital learning media effectively internalizes Islamic economic awareness, strengthens moral responsibility, and promotes sustainable and just financial behavior. The approach transforms financial learning from a purely cognitive process into a spiritual experience encouraging youth to view economic actions as both an act of worship and a form of social responsibility. Findings further affirm that the Qur’anic Educational Game serves as a bridge between revelation and digital reality. It helps the younger generation realize that true financial success in Islam is not defined by material gain but by honesty, justice, and barakah (divine blessing). This innovation contributes to strengthening the Islamic economic ecosystem in the digital era by harmonizing moral, spiritual, and technological aspects within one learning framework. In conclusion, the development of a Qur’an-based digital educational game represents a concrete step toward integrating faith and innovation in Islamic economic education. It offers a transformative model for nurturing digitally literate, financially responsible, and spiritually conscious Muslim youth.

Abstract

This article examines the escalation of violence against women facilitated by artificial intelligence technologies in Indonesia and addresses the limitations of existing criminal law frameworks in responding to technology-facilitated gender-based violence. Its primary objective is to integrate Ibn Khaldun’s concept of asabiyyah, understood as social solidarity and collective responsibility, with modern criminal law in order to strengthen legal protection for women in the artificial intelligence era. Employing a normative juridical methodology, the study combines doctrinal legal analysis with a structured review of classical Islamic thought, contemporary legal theory, national legislation, international human rights instruments, and selected Indonesian cases of artificial intelligence-enabled sexual violence. The findings demonstrate that current legal instruments inadequately address artificial intelligence-generated harms due to definitional gaps, evidentiary challenges, and fragmented institutional responses, which often exacerbate victim vulnerability. Through the lens of asabiyyah, the article argues that effective protection requires not only formal legal reform but also the institutionalization of inclusive social solidarity that mobilizes communities, platforms, and state actors in prevention, reporting, and victim support. The analysis further proposes concrete reforms, including the recognition of artificial intelligence-generated content as a distinct criminal category, the strengthening of electronic evidence standards, and the establishment of community-based support mechanisms under state oversight. The study concludes that integrating Ibn Khaldun’s social theory with modern criminal law offers a culturally grounded and normatively robust framework for addressing artificial intelligence-facilitated violence against women, with significant implications for gender justice, legal reform, and ethical artificial intelligence governance in Indonesia.

Abstract

Global disasters present a significant threat to human civilisation. Disasters can be categorised as natural (severe rainfall, avalanches, earthquakes) or cause by human (industrial accidents, chemical leaks, structural failures). The distribution of relief and recovery resources during and after the crisis mitigates the suffering of victims. The humanitarian supply chain is crucial in such circumstances. Humanitarian supply chains are crucial for providing lifesaving assistance during catastrophes and emergencies, although they function under extremely demanding conditions. This scoping study examines the existing scholarly literature on humanitarian supply chains, particularly in Asia, to outline the current landscape of research and explore where future scholarly attention might be directed. This study identified six primary topics and twenty sub themes concerning challenges in the context of humanitarian supply chains. The primary themes encompass Data Collection Challenges, Transportation Constraints, Bureaucratic Delays, Security Risks, Collaboration, and Cultural Sensitivity. The analysis suggests that most studies focus on comprehending the direct effects on humanitarian supply systems. This indicates that the field is primarily oriented toward solving immediate, practical problems faced by responders in the aftermath of a crisis. This scoping review analysis is pertinent to individuals engaged in public crisis management, including local authorities, public entities, emergency services, and non-governmental organisations participating in humanitarian assistance.

Abstract

During the colonial period in India, newspapers were instrumental in shaping gender roles, reflecting the complex interplay between colonial policies and indigenous cultural norms. Newspapers like Amrita Bazar Patrika, The Bengal Gazette, and The Hindu were key players in this discourse. These publications often reinforced patriarchal ideals, portraying women primarily as custodians of tradition and morality. For instance, Amrita Bazar Patrika in the late 19th century frequently featured editorials that advocated for women's education but within the confines of their roles as wives and mothers. The Bengal Gazette reported on the controversies surrounding the Age of Consent Act of 1891, where debates on women's rights were framed in a manner that upheld male authority. Similarly, The Hindu provided coverage on the Swadeshi movement, highlighting the role of women as symbols of the nation, thereby linking their identity to nationalist ideals. These newspapers not only reflected but also shaped public opinion, often limiting the discourse on gender roles to fit the broader nationalist and colonial agendas. This study delves into how these publications constructed and propagated gender norms, examining specific incidents like the coverage of the Rukhmabai case in The Times of India, which sparked nationwide debates on women's autonomy and the legal rights of women within marriage. By analyzing these historical texts, the research uncovers the ways in which the colonial-era press contributed to the enduring gender stereotypes in Indian society.
