Abstract

The concept of psychological resilience and what makes human beings bounce back from adversities has always intrigued philosophers and theologians in the past and continues to fascinate modern psychology. It has been claimed by Western psychology that Emmy Werner, an American developmental psychologist, was one of the earliest scientists to study psychological resilience in the 1980s. In this paper, the author aims to reveal an even earlier presentation of what we understand today as resilience, based on the 12th-century work, The Principle of Patience, written by Ibn Taimiyyah during the golden age of Islam. Discovery of this manuscript reveals that Ibn Taimiyyah’s twenty recommendations for fostering psychological resilience parallel modern-day therapeutic interventions employed in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). The research also reveals that Ibn Taimiyyah should be credited for identifying acceptance, patience, and forgiveness as key tools for building psychological resilience and highlighting their positive impact on physical and mental health, nearly centuries before modern psychology.

Abstract

Islamic spiritual upliftment is a transformative journey that purifies the soul, aligns with divine guidance, and fosters a personal relationship with Allah. This study aimed to explore the techniques and impacts of spiritual upliftment in Islam, providing insights for the Muslim Ummah to enhance their spiritual growth. Using a qualitative approach with an analytical descriptive method, we reviewed 25 publications from 2015 to 2022, including books, articles, and online materials. Our findings revealed that embracing Islam guidelines and teachings, such as prayer, repentance, Qur'an recitation, remembrance of Allah, and ethical conduct, leads to inner tranquillity, resilience, a deeper connection with the Creator, and contentment despite external circumstances. Our study highlights the importance of tawhid (oneness with Allah), worship, and ethical conduct in achieving spiritual upliftment. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of Islamic spiritual upliftment, guiding Muslims to cultivate a stronger connection with Allah and embody excellence, responsibility, compassion, and social justice.

Abstract

In 2021, the Indonesian government merged three major state-owned Islamic banks to support the halal industry in the country. Numerous studies have analyzed balance sheet ratios to assess the conditions of Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) before and after the merger. However, the reliability of balance sheet ratios is highly contingent on the accounting method employed by companies. Consequently, this study utilizes Economic Value Added (EVA) to measure BSI's financial performance before and after the merger. The primary objective of this research is to test and provide empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of the EVA approach in demonstrating the economic added value to BSI throughout the merger. Employing a quantitative approach and secondary data from the financial statements of BSI before and after the merger serves as the data source. The findings reveal that the financial performance of BSI before and after the merger provides economic added value to the company and aligns with stakeholder expectations. Notably, research on financial performance using EVA at BSI before and after the merger is scarce, as most studies resort to ratio analysis for this purpose. It is important to acknowledge the limitations of this research, which solely introduces EVA to assess the economic added value in financial statements. Other approaches beyond ratio analysis can be explored to measure the quality of financial statements.

Abstract

The Palestinian issue positions the National Committee for the Palestinian People (KNRP) as a humanitarian organization dedicated to aiding and supporting Palestinian independence, necessitating effective execution of da'wah activities. Da'wah's enduring relevance is attributed to its adaptability to contemporary needs, with its management process significantly impacting the attainment of its goals through the structured organization of human and other resources. Commencing with the current matter, this research aims to describe the Da'wah activities of KNRP, which are managed in actions to care for Palestine in Medan City, starting from planning da'wah activities, organizing, actuating, to controlling and evaluating da'wah activities. The subjects of this research are the administrators of the National Committee for the Palestinian People in Medan City, Indonesia. The author used an interview method to collect this information from three sources and documentation: books, journals, photos, videos, and official websites. The research results relate to four management functions. First, KNRP's missionary planning is to carry out outreach and education about the Palestinian problem by gathering moral and material support from various elements of society. Second, the da'wah organization at KNRP is divided into core volunteers and freelance volunteers. Core volunteers are registered in the management structure and consist of regional, program, and operational coordinators. Third, the implementation of da'wah at KNRP involves carrying out work programs that were created at the beginning based on the KNRP vision and mission. Distribute humanitarian aid from the community to the Palestinian people and collaborate with various parties within and outside the country. Fourth, KNRP da'wah is monitored by providing fixed procedures for every existing activity and creating an annual evaluation forum for monthly and national working meetings.

Abstract

Transpersonal psychology offers a perspective that emphasizes the spiritual aspects of human experiences and consciousness, summarized in a concept that represents human's spiritual consciousness, self-transcendence. Unfortunately, its formalized concept, along with its spiritual aspects, showed the necessity for further inquiry, especially from the Islamic worldview. This research aimed to critically review the concept of self-transcendence in transpersonal psychology from the perspective of the Islamic worldview. This research was done by applying the library research method, collecting data from the works of Viktor Frankl and Abraham Maslow, who are prominent figures in the related topic, in addition to the works of various scholars about transpersonal psychology. The researcher used an analytical method to analyze it. After completing this research, the researcher found out that 1) the concept of self-transcendence formulized in the framework of existentialism implied to be inevitably anthropocentric, which needed to be criticized by replacing it with the Islamic theocentric framework; 2) the misconception of its spiritual aspect provides experiences that cannot represent genuine and authentic spirituality, whether in a state of inclusive spirituality or a form of spiritual pluralism; 3) self-transcendence from Islamic perspective required not only horizontal connection with nature but also vertical transpersonal with God so that it can fulfil one's inherent nature and consequently live a meaningful life in obedience to his God. Based on these findings, the researcher concluded that self-transcendence in transpersonal psychology was infected with the Western paradigm. Therefore, it should be cured by applying the Islamic worldview to gain proper relation between self and God and other creatures.

Abstract

Bullying occurs not only among children but also among adults, especially in the workplace. Rejection, negative treatment, and a lack of appreciation in the work environment can affect self-esteem. It is crucial to enhance self-esteem in the context of work because work takes up a significant portion of an individual’s life and can impact their well-being. The application of Al-Shabr (commonly known as patience) with reframing techniques, focusing on resilience, perseverance, and steadfastness, aims to build confidence and optimism, develop resilience in facing challenges, and make efforts to overcome issues by setting new goals. This study, conducted on three workers experiencing workplace bullying and the resulting low self-esteem, used a one-group pre-test post-test design and was analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The statistical results indicate that there are differences in results after implementing Al-Shabr-based reframing techniques, but the effect is not significant in terms of increasing the self-esteem of workers who experience bullying. The increase in scores showed that Al-Shabr-based reframing techniques had an impact on improving the self-esteem of workers who experienced bullying. Al-Shabr-based reframing techniques are promising and easy to implement but need to be tested on a wider sample.

Abstract

The controversy surrounding Haikal Hassan's endorsement of Pizza Hut products in Indonesia has sparked debates about the intersection of religious influence and consumer behaviour in the Muslim market, particularly following public concerns about the brand's perceived connection to Israel through its parent company's business relations. This situation raises questions about how religious figures' endorsements impact Muslim consumers' purchasing decisions, especially when promoting international food brands that face scrutiny over their global business affiliations. This research aims to quantitatively measure the effect of Haikal Hassan's endorsement on Muslim consumers' repurchase intention for Pizza Hut products, considering religiosity as an intermediary variable. Using a quantitative method with an explanatory design, this research involved 100 respondents of Pizza Hut Muslim consumers in Indonesia, which were determined using a purposive sampling approach. Information was obtained from a structured questionnaire and then examined using Path Analysis with SmartPLS version 4. According to the results, endorsement has a positive and significant effect on repurchase intention but a negative and significant effect on religiosity. On the other hand, religiosity has a negative and significant impact on repurchase intention and also significantly mediates the effect of endorsement on repurchase intention. These findings contribute to the understanding of Muslim consumer behaviour and the role of religiosity in marketing, and this can be a reference for companies in developing more appropriate marketing tactics that are sensitive to the religious values of Muslim consumers in Indonesia.

Abstract

In the current era of digital development, Muslim societies have unique and impactful ways of welcoming Ramadan; for instance, "75 Kufic Towards Ramadan" was initiated by the Friends of Kufic Square Indonesia (FOKS Indonesia) community. This welcome enhances the daily posting of Kufic works on social media for 75 days leading up to Ramadan. However, sometimes ordinary people find reading and understanding posts difficult, even though they contain meaning. Therefore, based on this issue, this research aims to describe the heuristic and hermeneutic reading of the collection of calligraphic works, “75 Kufic Towards Ramadan”. This study adopts a qualitative descriptive approach, employing content analysis techniques, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, focusing on Kufic texts shared in the "75 Kufic Towards Ramadan" series on FOKS Indonesia's official Instagram account (@foksindonesia). Subsequently, this data was analyzed using the heuristic and hermeneutic analysis techniques in Michael Riffaterre's semiotics. This study's findings are presented as an explanation of the heuristic and hermeneutic reading of the “75 Kufic Towards Ramadan” Kufic texts. Among these Kufic texts created by Kufiers are pieces of verse from the Quran, Hadith, and Mahfudzat in Arabic. These Kufic texts essentially represented deep feelings of joy for the Muslim community in welcoming Ramadan, which is full of glory and forgiveness. Consequently, people could receive positive messages and impressions when welcoming the month of Ramadan.

Abstract

This study investigates how waqf helps married women in northeastern Nigeria start family-owned enterprises. In the past, waqf, an Islamic charitable endowment, has supported underprivileged communities financially and with resources, acting as a mechanism for socioeconomic development. In this regard, waqf institutions can enable married women to start and maintain family-owned enterprises, tackling issues like restricted financial resources, socio-cultural constraints, and unstable economic conditions. By offering interest-free loans, training courses, and infrastructure assistance, waqf can encourage married women to start their own businesses, increasing their financial independence and boosting household income. The study uses qualitative research methodology, reviewing relevant literature on the subject matter and stakeholder interviews. Findings revealed that integrating waqf with family-owned business initiatives improves economic stability, reduces poverty levels, and strengthens family cohesion. Additionally, the study highlighted the need for strategic collaboration between waqf institutions, government bodies, and community organizations to optimize resource allocation and expand the impact of waqf on women's entrepreneurship. This research underscores the transformative potential of waqf in advancing gender-inclusive economic development in Northeastern Nigeria and provides recommendations for policymakers and waqf administrators to enhance the effectiveness of their programs.

Abstract

Shura is a decision-making model in Islamic governance that aims to make the right decisions for society in general and inclusively. While Allah has established the general framework for various issues, particularly administrative matters, the specific details are left to human discretion, to be determined through Shura and consultation. The significance of Shura is underscored in verse 38 of Surah Ash-Shura, where it is mentioned alongside fundamental Islamic principles such as prayer and zakat. Conversely, the democratic management model, a human construct, has evolved since ancient Greece, undergoing transformations resulting in diverse forms such as direct, representative, liberal, social, radical, dialogic, agonistic, and deliberative democracy. This study aims to compare the principles of Islamic governance with those of deliberative democracy. By analyzing their similarities and differences, this research seeks to evaluate the compatibility of these two governance frameworks. The findings provide insights into their potential alignment or divergence, contributing to a broader understanding of decision-making practices in diverse cultural and philosophical contexts.
