Abstract

This study examines the ethical values and moral responsibilities embedded in the leadership of Khulafaur Rasyidin and their relevance to the challenges of modern leadership. Employing a literature review method, the study focuses on classical Islamic sources such as the Qur'an, Hadith, and historical commentaries (sirah and tafsir) to extract core principles of Islamic leadership. The interpretive approach used is normative-ethical, analyzing the leadership practices of Abu Bakar, Umar, Utsman, and Ali through the lens of Islamic moral philosophy. Key leadership values identified include amanah (trustworthiness), ‘adl (justice), shura (consultation), and spiritual accountability to God and society. The findings reveal that their leadership reflects a model of transcendental ethics that integrates moral, spiritual, and administrative dimensions. This framework offers a valuable paradigm for addressing contemporary leadership crises marked by declining public trust and ethical deficits. The study concludes that integrating prophetic ethical principles into modern leadership and policy-making contexts can enhance moral governance and foster sustainable, people-centered leadership in both public and private sectors. Despite its non-empirical nature, the study makes a theoretical contribution to the discourse on ethical leadership grounded in Islamic tradition.

Abstract

Indonesiaalyoum.com is the first Indonesian news portal to provide news in Arabic, offering comprehensive information about Indonesia to the Arab and Islamic nations. However, there is no previous study on journalistic language on this website. This research is providing significant academic and practical contributions to Islamic studies. Academically, it deepens the knowledge of Arabic journalistic practices in Indonesia, discloses how Islamic and national issues are represented. Practically, it entails a roadmap for Muslim communicators to productize ethical and effective headlines, translate news, offer editorial advice, and foster media literacy among Muslim readers. The study represents a notable advancement in Islamic social science as it addresses an issue of cross-cultural communication and media ethics through the lens of linguistic analysis of Arabic-language news headlines within the wider frameworks of intercultural communication and media ethics in Islamic contexts. Working in the area where Arab and Indonesian Muslim cultures meet, Indonesiaalyoum.com is not only a source of information but also a means of cross-cultural engagement in the global Muslim society. The method utilized in this study is descriptive research with an error analysis technique using semantic and syntactic analysis. The process began with collecting data, which consisted of 25 articles from January to June 2024, making notes, and then analysing it using semantical and syntactical approaches. The results of the research can be concluded that the articles on Indonesia.com are based on two main sources: journalist correspondence and translations of other publications. The translated news source is particularly mentioned at the end of the articles, which are published until February 15, 2024. Afterwards, some subsequent publications implied it tacitly. This study also identified errors in the use of journalistic language, including spelling errors, mistranslations, and misinformation. In addition, the most common translation technique employed in these articles is the literal translation.

Abstract

Climate change mitigation has encouraged the use of carbon pricing instruments, particularly carbon taxes and emissions trading systems (ETS). While these mechanisms are widely adopted for their economic efficiency, their ethical legitimacy remains contested in Muslim-majority contexts, where economic activities must conform to Islamic principles. This study examines the compatibility of carbon pricing instruments with Islamic economic jurisprudence, focusing on the ethical validity of ETS and carbon taxation. Using a qualitative normative-interpretive approach, the study analyzes Islamic legal sources, policy documents, and relevant literature, supported by expert consultation for analytical triangulation. The analysis is grounded in fiqh al-mu'amalah, Islamic fiscal ethics, maqasid al-shariah, and Sharia Enterprise Theory. Rather than measuring policy effectiveness empirically, the study evaluates carbon pricing based on transaction structure, ownership characteristics, and the presence of uncertainty or speculative elements. The findings indicate that emissions trading systems raise significant shariah concerns. Carbon allowances function as administrative permissions rather than tangible or usufruct-based assets, creating issues related to gharar and speculative trading. In contrast, carbon taxation shows stronger compatibility with Islamic fiscal principles when implemented transparently, proportionally, and with revenues allocated for public welfare and environmental protection. This study contributes by reframing, carbon pricing as an issue of ethical governance rather than technical efficiency. It concludes that carbon taxation, supported by maqasid al-shariah and Islamic fiscal principles, offers a more ethically defensible pathway for climate policy in Muslim-majority contexts.

Abstract

Law Number 4 of 2023 concerning the Development and Strengthening of the Financial Sector (P2SK) represents the Government’s commitment to strengthening the national financial system, including the development of human resources in the financial sector. However, the implementation of this mandate poses a specific challenge for Islamic banking, as its human resources (Sumber Daya Insani/SDI) are required not only to meet technical and professional standards, but also to embody Islamic values that underpin sharia-based financial operations. Existing regulations on SDI development in the financial sector tend to adopt a general and technocratic approach, leaving a regulatory gap in accommodating the distinctive characteristics of Islamic banking SDI. This research aims to examine how the P2SK Law and its related regulations govern SDI development in Islamic banking and to formulate an SDI development model that is normatively aligned with sharia principles while remaining compliant with the prevailing legal framework. Employing doctrinal legal research with a statutory approach, this study analyzes relevant laws and regulations, supported by Ibn Khaldun’s theory of human development and the perspective of Sharia economics as a branch of political law. The findings propose an SDI development model for Islamic banking that integrates technical competence, professional integrity, and spiritual intelligence rooted in tawhid and akhlaq, and demonstrates its compliance with the P2SK Law and relevant OJK regulations. Theoretically, this research contributes to the integration of Islamic human resource concepts into legal scholarship, while providing a practical normative reference for regulators and Islamic banking institutions in formulating SDI development policies.

Abstract

The performance of employees in a company is a parameter of success in realizing the vision and mission to achieve the goals of a company. Poor employee performance stems from a lack of implementation of work ethics and leadership. For a Muslim, work ethics and Islamic leadership are matters relating to the actions, attitudes, and attributes that a person performs and considers work as worship for Allah SWT and it is based on the Al-Quran and Hadith to get grace and a better quality of life. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of the application of Islamic work ethics and Islamic leadership on the performance of employees at the Bandung Islamic University Foundation. The research method used in this study is a survey method with a quantitative approach. The data source used in this study is primary data. The sampling technique in this study is non-probability sampling with a convenience sampling technique. The results of this study state that the Application of Islamic Work Ethics and Islamic Leadership influences Employee Performance.

Abstract

The introduction of Shariah in 1999 by Zamfara State Governor Senator Sani Yarima spurred the creation of Independent Shariah Panels in states where the full implementation of Shariah law proved challenging. These panels, operating independently of Nigeria's formal legal system, address civil disputes such as inheritance, marriage, and divorce within the Muslim community. The competence of the panel in resolving marital conflicts remains a concern. This paper focuses on the relevance and impact of the Osun State Independent Shariah Panel, which provides an alternative legal framework for the adjudication of civil cases involving Muslims in Osun State. Using descriptive and historical research methods, the paper evaluates the panel's contributions to the judicial, social, and cultural systems of society. The role of the panel in reducing communal crises and matrimonial conflicts within the community is also assessed. Additionally, the study examines the legal and social implications of the panel's operation in a secular legal environment, highlighting its relationship with the formal courts and the challenges of legitimacy and enforceability. The study finds that the panel effectively resolves disputes and has gained the trust of both Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Its contribution to promoting peace could be further strengthened if its jurisdiction were expanded to include criminal cases. Nevertheless, there is hope that the panel may eventually evolve into a formal Shariah Court if it is properly managed and strategically developed. The paper advocates for the establishment of similar Shariah Panels in other South Western Nigerian states that currently lack such institutions and recommends training initiatives for panel members to further enhance their knowledge, skills, and adjudicative capabilities.

Abstract

The growing urgency of environmental challenges and the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has accelerated the development of green banking practices worldwide. In the context of Islamic finance, green banking is not merely an environmental initiative but is also grounded in Islamic ethical principles, particularly the concept of maqasid al-shariah and the stewardship role of humans as khalifah, which emphasize responsible financial intermediation, environmental protection, and public welfare (maslahah). This study examines how awareness and knowledge influence Generation Z’s behavioral intention to adopt Islamic green banking products, with attitude acting as a mediating variable. An explanatory (hypothesis-testing) survey design was employed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Data were collected from [REV - blind review] 80 students at a private Islamic university in Indonesia who had completed coursework related to Islamic finance and sustainability. Measurement items were adapted from validated Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) scales and assessed using a five-point Likert scale. The findings show that awareness and knowledge significantly influence attitude, while attitude significantly affects behavioral intention. However, the direct effects of awareness and knowledge on intention are not significant, indicating a full mediation effect of attitude. This study contributes to the Islamic green finance literature by empirically demonstrating that attitude serves as the key mediating mechanism linking awareness and knowledge to behavioral intention among Generation Z in adopting Islamic green banking.

Abstract

Issues in implementing the Independent Curriculum or Kurikulum Merdeka, and in integrating religious moderation, often hinder holistic evaluation of learning, thereby affecting educational quality in Islamic higher education. This study examines the influence of holistic learning evaluation on the implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka and its impact on educational quality, with a focus on religious moderation at UIN SMH Banten. Using a quantitative explanatory approach, data were collected from 174 PGMI students via validated questionnaires (CFA loadings >= 0.60, CR >= 0.70, AVE >= 0.50; Cronbach's alpha > 0.80). Holistic learning evaluation is a comprehensive assessment of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. At the same time, religious moderation refers to balanced, tolerant, and inclusive Islamic values measured by indicators of fairness, respect, and anti-extremism. Data were analysed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS. The results show that learning evaluation significantly affects educational quality (beta = 0.482, p < 0.001) and the Kurikulum Merdeka (beta = 0.396, p < 0.01), while the Kurikulum Merdeka also significantly improves educational quality (beta = 0.531, p < 0.001). Religious moderation has no significant direct effect on educational quality (beta = 0.082, p > 0.05) and does not moderate the effect of the Kurikulum Merdeka (p > 0.05). Model fit is acceptable (CFI = 0.907, RMSEA = 0.050, CMIN/DF = 1.434). The findings imply that PTKIN should strengthen learning evaluation and curriculum implementation systems to enhance educational quality, while religious moderation should be integrated through curriculum design and academic culture rather than as a direct influencing factor.

Abstract

This study adopts a qualitative textual analysis and literature-based approach to examine the contemporary relevance of Sufism as a socially engaged ethical tradition. Drawing on classical Sufi texts alongside selected modern scholarly interpretations and case-based discussions, the article analyzes how core Sufi concepts, such as ihsan (spiritual excellence), khidma (service), and mahabba (compassionate love), are articulated and mobilized within present-day socio-cultural contexts. Rather than treating Sufism as an inward or exclusively mystical phenomenon, the study demonstrates how its ethical framework operates in public life through institutional practices, interfaith initiatives, and cultural production. The analysis shows that Sufi traditions contribute to social cohesion by promoting relational ethics grounded in humility and inclusivity, while also providing a counter-discursive resource against exclusivist and polarizing religious narratives. Furthermore, the study highlights how Sufi-inspired cultural forms, particularly devotional literature, music, and ritual performance, function as sites of cultural continuity and adaptive resilience in the face of modern fragmentation. By systematically linking textual principles with contemporary expressions, the article argues that "living Sufism" should be understood not merely as a historical legacy but as an actively interpreted and practiced ethical paradigm. In this sense, "living" refers to both ongoing embodied practices and the continued conceptual relevance of Sufi thought in addressing current challenges of pluralism, moral responsibility, and coexistence. The study thus offers a methodologically grounded contribution to scholarship on Islam by clarifying how Sufi traditions remain operative within modern socio-cultural realities.

Abstract

The expansion of digital media has profoundly transformed contemporary Islamic da‘wah by reshaping religious authority, communication patterns, and audience engagement within algorithm-driven environments. While digital platforms have broadened access to Islamic knowledge, they have also intensified the commodification of religion through visibility-oriented communication characterized by virality, sensationalism, performative piety, and emotional polarization. This study examines Sufistic da‘wah as a communicative counter-model to religious commodification through the case of Habib Umar bin Hafizh. Employing a qualitative case study combined with digital ethnography, the research analysed approximately 40 digital sermons and online religious materials, participant observation, and semi-structured interviews with 15 Indonesian Muslim participants engaged in Sufistic da‘wah communities. The findings suggest that Sufistic da‘wah operates through a communicative framework centered on mahabbah (compassionate love), rifq (gentleness), adab (ethical conduct), and tazkiyat al-nafs (spiritual purification). Participants consistently associated this communication model with emotional calmness, ethical self-reflection, and spiritually meaningful engagement in digital environments. Unlike commodified forms of digital religiosity that prioritize algorithmic visibility and symbolic performance, this paradigm emphasizes spiritual presence, emotional resonance, contemplative engagement, and ethical transformation. The study introduces the concept of spiritual presence as an original analytical framework for understanding religious authority beyond platform visibility and media performance, thereby extending current scholarship on digital religion and Islamic communication. These findings suggest that Sufistic da‘wah offers an ethically grounded model for navigating increasingly mediatized and commodified digital religious environments.
