Abstract

This study aims to analyze cross-generational perceptions of the role of Islamic economics in reducing social inequality in Jakarta. Using a quantitative approach, this study collected data from 994 respondents divided into four age groups (18-25 years, 26-35 years, 36-45 years, and 46-55 years). Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test to evaluate differences in perceptions between age groups on the basic principles of Islamic economics, the fairness of the system, and the effectiveness of its implementation. The results showed significant differences in understanding and perception between age groups, with 26-35 years old having the highest level of understanding. The findings provide important insights for policymakers to design more inclusive education strategies and improve the implementation of Islamic economics in urban communities. This research makes a novel contribution to the literature on Islamic economics by integrating cross-generational analysis in the context of reducing social inequality.

Abstract

This article discusses three main points: First, Egypt occupies an undoubted central position in the Arab world. Second, in addition to its great regional influence, Egypt also occupies an important geographical position. Egypt is located on the two continents of Europe and Asia, and the Suez Canal in it is an important energy channel for the Indian Ocean to enter Europe and the Mediterranean. Third, China and Egypt have a history of friendly exchanges. Since the drastic changes in the Middle East in 2011, Egypt's national power has gradually weakened. To achieve economic development and social stability, Egypt urgently needs foreign investment. The proposed Belt and Road Initiative provides new development opportunities for China-Egypt cooperation. This article uses literature analysis and case analysis. The result of the study is that close economic cooperation between China and Egypt has promoted Egypt's overall positive development, but political cooperation and cultural exchanges between the two countries still need to be strengthened.

Abstract

This research explores the role of halal certification and Islamic ethics in addressing greenwashing within the financial sector. Greenwashing, the practice of exaggerating environmental responsibility, undermines genuine sustainability efforts and trust among consumers and investors. Islamic finance, based on principles of transparency, social justice, and ethical business practices, provides a robust framework to counter such deceptive practices. The study proposes expanding halal certification to incorporate environmental standards, ensuring that companies demonstrate both ethical and sustainable practices. This integrated approach offers a unique solution to combat greenwashing and aligns with broader sustainability goals. By including sustainability in halal certification, the credibility and ethical foundations of Islamic finance can be reinforced. The study highlights the need for interdisciplinary collaboration among financial institutions, regulators, and sustainability experts to promote transparency and accountability, fostering a more sustainable economy.

Abstract

Farmers in the Gunungkidul Regency are mostly categorized as impoverished. Resource constraints make it challenging for them to progress. One of the problems they face is the lack of capital for their businesses and daily needs. To meet these needs, they often resort to borrowing from loan sharks. This occurs partly due to the absence of assets they can use to access financing from Sharia-compliant financial institutions. This research aimed to assess the feasibility of biological assets, particularly teak trees (Tectona grandis), to be accepted as collateral in Sharia-compliant financing. Additionally, this study aimed to provide an alternative for developing Sharia-compliant financial inclusion in Indonesia. The research employed financial inclusion theory and biological asset appraisal methods using the IRR and NPV formulas. The IRR and NPV calculations revealed that biological assets, such as teak trees, can serve as an alternative for promoting Sharia-compliant financial inclusion in the Gunungkidul regency. Moreover, teak trees are suitable collateral for farmers seeking financing from Sharia-compliant financial institutions. The research results indicated that teak trees can be incorporated into Sharia-compliant financing schemes, such as Rahn and Mudarabah. This study is expected to enhance Sharia-compliant financial inclusion, as, until now, Sharia-compliant financial institutions have not included the potential of biological assets, particularly teak trees, as acceptable collateral in their financing practices.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate how the ecological changes brought about by the building of the Aswan Dam have affected the Nubian community's social structure, cultural identity, and coping mechanisms. The study emphasizes how important it is to comprehend how people interact with their surroundings considering modernization, which frequently jeopardizes the viability of regional customs. In addition to a literature review approach, a thematic analysis grounded in Julian Steward's cultural ecology theory—which highlights how societies adjust to changes in their physical surroundings—was used. The results show that ecological changes have profoundly impacted the Nubian people's cultural rites, cooperative social structures, and traditional farming methods. In response to these constraints, the Nubian community has adopted adaptive tactics to sustain its livelihoods, such as diversifying its economy, preserving its indigenous customs and the arts, and incorporating contemporary technologies. This work makes a theoretical contribution by extending the application of cultural ecology theory to the setting of modernization that upends regional customs and cultures. It also offers useful ramifications for formulating policies that combine sustainable and interconnected natural resource management with the preservation of regional culture.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of zakat in promoting local inclusive economic growth in Indonesia. This research uses secondary panel data of 34 provinces during 2017-2022. The analysis techniques used in this study include the Poverty Equivalent Growth Rate (PEGR) inclusive economic growth measurement method and the Static Panel Regression Fixed Effect Model. This study concludes that zakat is proven to be an effective instrument in promoting inclusive economic growth in Indonesia, with a significant impact on income distribution even though its potential is still not optimized. Unique findings reveal that inclusive growth recovered faster than GDP post-pandemic, and Eastern Indonesia region showed better progress than Java as the economic center, indicating the existence of growth-versus-equity paradox.

Abstract

In 2025, the Trump administration implemented sweeping tariff measures as part of its "America First" trade agenda. While aimed broadly at correcting trade imbalances, these policies have had significant ripple effects on Middle Eastern economies, particularly in the Gulf. The objective is to examine how the Trump administration’s tariff regime constitutes a deliberate exercise in economic statecraft and how Gulf states are responding to preserve economic sovereignty and geopolitical relevance. The methodology involves qualitative research method and collecting the data through documents. The paper distinguishes the U.S. tariff regime through the lens of economic coercion, categorizing these tariffs as strategic maneuvers rather than mere economic adjustments. The results show Gulf states responded with financial market adjustments, export disruptions, and accelerated economic diversification, regional alliances, and hedging strategies. This redefines U.S.–Middle East economic relations, with Gulf states increasingly asserting strategic autonomy amid shifting global power dynamics. The article concludes by assessing the broader geopolitical implications of this evolving trade confrontation for future U.S. engagement in the region.

Abstract

The conceptualisation of religion from the perspective of power entails the state’s effort to utilise religious resources and symbols as proxy tools. In the aftermath of the Arab Spring in 2010, the state realised the threat of opposition from the independent Islamic movement to the survivability of the monarchical and autocratic regime. Hence, this study identifies the act of the UAE government in confronting the Islamic movement and its role in controlling a religious discourse based on the concept of Moderate Islam, employing a top-down approach to form a distinct religious identity that differs from that of rival countries. Qualitative analysis through the collection of information and reference materials aims to identify the history and factors of the development of Moderate Islam in the UAE. The researcher's initial hypothesis asserts that there are three forms of the government's approach in establishing the concept of Islam in the UAE, namely coercing Islamic group, control over religious institutions and promoting the narrative of moderation through various platforms and endorsing two contradicted sects of Neo-traditionalists and anti-traditionalists which have the similarities in terms of separation of religious interference in politic. Thus, this study will examine the concept of Moderate Islam in the UAE and its implications for the legitimacy of the monarchy.

Abstract

Studi ini mengkaji faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi pembangunan berkelanjutan di Indonesia, dengan fokus pada kualitas lingkungan melalui perspektif Islam. Di tengah dinamika geopolitik global, risiko-risiko tersebut secara signifikan mempengaruhi kebijakan dan praktik lingkungan. Pendekatan Islam menawarkan kerangka kerja yang khas dengan mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai etika, spiritual, dan sosial ke dalam tata kelola lingkungan. Dengan menggunakan data deret waktu dari tahun 1992–2022 dan Model Koreksi Kesalahan Vektor (VECM), penelitian ini menganalisis hubungan jangka pendek dan jangka panjang antara risiko geopolitik, ketegasan kebijakan lingkungan, dan modal manusia terhadap kualitas lingkungan. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa risiko geopolitik memiliki efek jangka pendek yang signifikan tetapi tidak berdampak jangka panjang. Ketegasan kebijakan lingkungan mempengaruhi kualitas lingkungan baik dalam jangka pendek maupun jangka panjang, sedangkan modal manusia hanya mempengaruhinya dalam jangka pendek. Temuan-temuan ini menyoroti relevansi nilai-nilai Islam dalam membentuk kebijakan lingkungan yang tangguh dan berkelanjutan di tengah geopolitik. Studi ini merekomendasikan untuk mengintegrasikan prinsip-prinsip agama ke dalam pembuatan kebijakan lingkungan dan mempromosikan kolaborasi antara pemerintah, lembaga-lembaga keagamaan, dan masyarakat sipil untuk memperkuat upaya perlindungan lingkungan di Indonesia.
