Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine the integration of Islamic counseling themes within Saheed Osupa’s Fuji music, with particular emphasis on the Kokoro Alate album, through a sharia-based analytical perspective. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework of this research is grounded in Islamic counseling theory, which derives moral and psychological guidance from the Qur’an, Hadith, and Islamic ethical principles, including patience (sabr), repentance (tawbah), gratitude (shukr), accountability (taqwa), and moral responsibility. Literature review: Existing literature on religion and popular culture indicates that indigenous music genres often function as informal channels for moral instruction and spiritual reflection, yet limited attention has been given to Fuji music as a medium for Islamic counseling discourse. This study addresses this gap by situating Fuji music within the broader conversation on Islamic ethics and cultural expression. Methods: The research adopts a qualitative content analysis approach, focusing on selected lyrics from the Kokoro Alate album. The lyrics are examined to identify recurring counseling themes and to analyze their alignment with Islamic ethical values and sharia-oriented moral teachings. The analysis also considers the socio-cultural context of Yoruba Muslims, for whom Fuji music represents both cultural identity and religious expression. Results: The findings reveal that Saheed Osupa systematically embeds Islamic counseling messages within his lyrics through the use of metaphors, proverbs, and culturally familiar narratives. Themes such as self-reflection, endurance in adversity, moral restraint, family responsibility, and social justice are consistently emphasized. These messages function as moral reminders that encourage listeners to align personal behavior with Islamic principles while navigating contemporary social challenges. Implications: The study has significant implications for Islamic studies, counseling, and cultural discourse, demonstrating that popular music can serve as an effective medium for informal Islamic education and moral reform. It highlights the potential of culturally grounded art forms to transmit Sharia-based values beyond formal religious institutions. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in its sharia-oriented reading of Fuji music as a form of Islamic counseling, offering a fresh perspective on how indigenous popular culture contributes to ethical formation and spiritual guidance among Muslim communities.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine Islamic cultural heritage in Indonesia from cultural, local wisdom, Islamic law, and customary perspectives while connecting these dimensions with the SDGs. Theoretical framework: The study adopts an integrative theoretical framework combining cultural acculturation theory, Islamic legal perspectives, and museological approaches to heritage preservation. This framework explains how Islamic values interact with Malay local traditions and customary norms (adat), forming a distinctive socio-cultural system that reflects the harmony between religion, and culture. Literature review: The literature also discusses the role of museums as cultural institutions responsible for safeguarding tangible and intangible heritage. Furthermore, recent scholarship emphasizes the importance of digitalization and globalization in strengthening cultural preservation and ensuring the sustainability of heritage practices in line with the SDGs. Methods: This research employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical method. Data were collected through literature reviews, field observations, and semi-structured interviews with historians, museum curators, traditional leaders, and cultural practitioners in Sumatera Indonesia. The collected data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns of Islamic cultural heritage preservation and its relationship with local wisdom and Islamic legal values. Results: The findings indicate that Islamic heritage in Sumatera Indonesia can be classified into five categories: ancient manuscripts (25%), art and architecture (10%), religious traditions (25%), historical institutions and mosques (20%), and material artifacts (20%). The Gentala Arasy Museum plays a crucial role in heritage preservation with an educational effectiveness level of 80.11%. Cultural acculturation between Islam and Malay traditions has produced unique cultural expressions such as Assyuro rituals, zapin dance, batik with Islamic motifs, and traditional seloko reflecting Sharia-based ethical values. Implications: The study underscores the importance of strengthening heritage preservation through digitalization and multi-stakeholder collaboration involving government institutions, cultural communities, and academic organizations. These strategies contribute to SDGs related to cultural sustainability, and inclusive societies. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in its integrative analysis linking Islamic cultural heritage with SDGs through cultural, legal, and customary perspectives while highlighting the innovative role of the Gentala Arasy Museum in promoting sustainable preservation of Islamic-Malay heritage in Indonesia.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the role of productive waqf as an instrument of Islamic law in supporting global development within the context of Society 5.0. It explores how waqf can respond to contemporary socio-economic challenges through a sustainable and inclusive approach. Theoretical framework: The study integrates Islamic philanthropic theory and sustainable development concepts, positioning productive waqf as a socio-economic tool for promoting welfare, equity, and inclusive growth in modern society. Literature Review: Previous studies indicate that productive waqf has significant potential in enhancing social welfare, particularly in sectors such as education, healthcare, and micro-enterprises. Islamic economic law literature highlights waqf as a strategic philanthropic instrument, while sustainable development discourse recognizes its relevance in promoting equity and long-term socio-economic stability. However, existing research also identifies persistent challenges, including governance issues, lack of transparency, and regulatory fragmentation. Methods: This research employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method. Data are collected from academic publications, institutional reports, and policy documents related to productive waqf, Islamic law, and global development. The analysis focuses on conceptual understanding, regulatory frameworks, and implementation practices. Results: The findings reveal that productive waqf can play a vital role in advancing global development by fostering economic empowerment and social inclusion. Nevertheless, its effectiveness remains constrained by limited public awareness, weak institutional management, and inconsistent legal frameworks. Strengthening governance, improving regulatory integration, and enhancing transparency are essential to optimize its impact in the Society 5.0 era. Implications: This study is limited to secondary data and literature-based analysis. Future research is recommended to incorporate empirical approaches to validate the practical impact of productive waqf in different socio-economic contexts. Novelty: This study contributes to the literature by integrating Islamic law perspectives with global development discourse in the context of Society 5.0. It offers a comprehensive view of productive waqf as a sustainable instrument capable of addressing modern development challenges.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine the potential of a reform-oriented Medical Takaful model as an alternative healthcare financing system in Nigeria by assessing public awareness, acceptability, and the development of a sustainable and Shariah-compliant healthcare model. Theoretical framework: The study is based on Islamic finance principles, particularly ta’awun (cooperation), risk-sharing, and maqasid al-shariah, alongside sustainable development theory focusing on equitable healthcare access and social welfare. Literature review: Previous studies show that Nigeria faces challenges such as low insurance coverage, high out-of-pocket healthcare costs, and weak healthcare financing systems. Research also indicates that Takaful has been effective in countries like Malaysia and Indonesia, although its implementation in Nigeria remains limited due to poor awareness and regulatory challenges. Methods: The study adopted a mixed-methods approach using questionnaires distributed to 300 respondents and interviews with Islamic scholars, healthcare professionals, and insurance experts. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Results: The findings revealed low medical insurance coverage but high interest in Islamic-compliant healthcare financing. Major challenges identified include poor awareness, lack of trust, and inadequate policy support. Most respondents expressed willingness to participate in a properly regulated Medical Takaful scheme. Implications: The study suggests that Medical Takaful can improve healthcare access, reduce out-of-pocket expenses, and support sustainable development goals through inclusive and ethical healthcare financing. Novelty: The study proposes a reform-oriented Medical Takaful model specifically designed for Nigeria’s socio-economic and religious context by combining Islamic principles with modern healthcare financing strategies.

Abstract

Objective: This study examines the practical interpretation of mahr and walimah within the perspective of Islamic law as essential components of marriage values in Muslim societies. The purpose of this research is to analyze how mahr and walimah function not only as ceremonial traditions but also as legal, ethical, and social instruments that strengthen marital relationships and communal harmony. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework of this study is based on Islamic family law and the concept of maqasid al-shariah, particularly the principles of justice, responsibility, moderation, dignity, and social welfare in marriage practices. Literature review: The literature review demonstrates that previous studies mostly discuss mahr and walimah separately, focusing either on jurisprudential regulations or socio-cultural dimensions. However, limited research examines both practices simultaneously as practical manifestations of Islamic marriage values in contemporary Muslim life. This study therefore fills the gap by integrating normative Islamic legal analysis with socio-religious interpretations of marriage practices in Muslim-majority societies. Methods: This research employs a qualitative methodology using normative and socio-religious approaches. The normative approach analyzes Islamic legal sources, including the Qur’an, Hadith, and classical jurisprudence related to marriage obligations and ethics. Meanwhile, the socio-religious approach examines how Muslim communities implement and interpret mahr and walimah within changing social and cultural contexts. Data were collected through literature study from books, journal articles, and previous scholarly works concerning Islamic family law and marriage traditions. Results: The findings reveal that mahr symbolizes commitment, protection, and financial responsibility, while walimah represents gratitude, social legitimacy, and communal solidarity. Nevertheless, modernization and consumer culture have transformed these practices into symbols of prestige and economic competition in some Muslim societies. Implications: The study implies that Islamic law should be understood as a dynamic moral framework capable of guiding contemporary marriage practices toward simplicity, justice, and social balance. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in its integrative analysis of mahr and walimah as interconnected practical interpretations of marriage values within the framework of Islamic law and contemporary Muslim social realities.

Abstract

Objective: This study examines how Islamic financial institutions balance profitability and sharia compliance in murabahah transactions while contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions). The research aims to identify effective ethical strategies that enable Islamic financial institutions to maintain competitive financial performance without compromising adherence to Islamic principles. Theoretical framework: The study is grounded in Islamic business ethics theory, stakeholder theory, and the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah framework, which collectively emphasize justice, transparency, accountability, and social welfare in financial transactions. Literature review: A review of the existing literature indicates that although murabahah remains the dominant financing instrument in Islamic finance, concerns persist regarding excessive profit orientation, weak compliance mechanisms, and the limited integration of sustainability objectives into financing practices. Methods: This research employs a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with senior managers, sharia supervisory personnel, and experienced practitioners in the Islamic financial industry. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns, challenges, and strategic responses associated with the profit–compliance dilemma in murabahah transactions. Results: The findings reveal that Islamic financial institutions face significant challenges in balancing market competitiveness with strict sharia adherence. Nevertheless, several effective strategies were identified, including strengthening employees’ understanding of sharia principles, developing products aligned with Islamic ethical values, enhancing internal supervision and compliance monitoring, and fostering trust-based relationships with customers through transparency and fairness. These strategies not only support sustainable profitability but also reinforce institutional contributions to inclusive economic growth, ethical consumption, and good governance as promoted by the SDGs. Implications: The study implies that integrating Islamic business ethics with sustainability objectives can strengthen the long-term resilience and legitimacy of Islamic financial institutions. Novelty: Its novelty lies in linking the profit–compliance dilemma in murabahah transactions with the SDG framework, offering a comprehensive ethical-sustainability perspective that has received limited attention in previous studies.
