Abstract

This study examines the historical portrayal of Malay-Islam in Western Orientalist texts and critically compares it with the perspectives of leading Malay-Islamic intellectuals, namely Munshi Abdullah and Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas. The study focuses on major Orientalist figures such as Tom Pires, R.O. Winstedt, W.G. Shellabear, John Leyden, William Marsden, and Anthony Reid. The study also aims to identify recurring themes of Eurocentrism, epistemological bias, and the marginalisation of the spiritual and cultural role of Islam in the Malay world, particularly in Malacca. A qualitative approach based on discourse analysis, hermeneutics, and comparative epistemology is used to distinguish these Orientalist narratives from Munshi Abdullah's reformist realism and Al-Attas's Islamic philosophical critique. While Munshi Abdullah selectively accepted Western knowledge for social reform, Al-Attas firmly rejected the secular and reductionist paradigm of Western historiography, instead supporting the re-construction of Malay history from an Islamic perspective based on Tawḥid and Adab. This study highlights the need to decolonise historical narratives and reconstruct the understanding of Malay-Islamic civilisation through the lens of indigenous Islamic perspectives.

Abstract

The Coin Flip system is an innovative method in sale and purchase agreements, where the price is determined by a coin toss. It is used when negotiations between the buyer and seller reach a deadlock, introducing a random element to the price determination, which differs from traditional methods. This study aims to analyze the validity of the Coin Flip system under both positive law (the Civil Code) and Islamic commercial law (fiqh muamalah). The focus is on whether the system meets the requirements for a valid agreement in the Civil Code and Islamic law. Additionally, the research examines the issue of maysir (gambling) involved in this system, which is crucial in sale agreements. The study employs a normative juridical method with a conceptual and legislative approach, utilizing primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources. Data was collected through literature review and analyzed qualitatively. The findings show that the Coin Flip sale agreement is valid according to the Civil Code, as it satisfies both subjective and objective conditions, including a voluntary agreement between legally competent parties with a clear price and valid object. However, the system is not valid under fiqh muamalah, as it lacks a clear and definite price and includes elements of maysir (gambling), which is prohibited in Islam.

Abstract

Premarital pregnancy continues to drive adolescent marriage in Indonesia where religious, customary, and state norms intersect. This study examines how marriages following premarital pregnancy are governed in North Halmahera and identifies the conditions under which negotiated compromises protect or harm young families. Using a qualitative case study, we conducted in-depth interviews with clerics, customary leaders, officials, adolescents, and parents, observed community proceedings, and analyzed local documents; thematic and cross-case analysis with triangulation and reflexivity ensured credibility and ethical safeguards. Cases cluster among adolescents aged fifteen to nineteen with incomplete schooling and financial strain, and decision windows compress rapidly once pregnancy becomes known. Proximal and structural drivers include gaps in sexuality education, limited parent–child communication, peer and media influence, low practical religious literacy, and poverty. Three honor-restoring mechanisms recur: swift marriage, customary acknowledgment through penebusan, and judicial dispensation. Outcomes diverge: when safeguards for consent, psychosocial readiness, maternal and child health, continued education, and civil documentation are embedded, reintegration improves; when compromises focus on ritual display alone, risks accumulate and legal identity gaps persist. The analysis refines legal pluralism in practice by showing how maqasid- and maslaha-oriented reasoning legitimates harm-reduction pathways and explains subdistrict variation by leader networks and administrative capacity. The study offers a micro-process model and recommends locally coherent sexuality education, culturally anchored premarital counseling, integrated referral systems, clear documentation routes, and measured use of dispensation.

Abstract

This research focuses on the application of the principle of justice in mudharabah contracts in the Islamic financial sector, using the metaphor of “justice as a balanced scale” to describe the proportional relationship between the capital owner (shahibul maal) and the business manager (mudharib). The purpose of this study is to analyze the elements of justice in mudharabah practice and its impact on social relations and economic empowerment. The method used is a literature study with a normative and socio-empirical approach, through a review of relevant literature and justice theory. The results show that although normatively mudharabah upholds justice, its practice still faces challenges in the form of information inequality, low financial literacy, and weak contract transparency. This research implies the importance of fair and participatory contract design, as well as strengthening financial literacy for micro business actors to support an inclusive, ethical and sustainable Islamic financial system.

Abstract

Visionary leadership and corporate culture have an important role in increasing competitiveness and customer interest. This study aims to describe visionary leadership and corporate culture in increasing the competitiveness and interest of customers of transformational Islamic education. This research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach in the form of a literature review (library research). The analysis technique used is content analysis. The results of the study on visionary leadership and corporate culture in increasing competitiveness and customer interest in this transformative education found: 1) Efforts to increase customer interest require the accuracy of the leader's vision regarding the characteristics of the interests and satisfaction of the targeted or expected customers and educational program models that are in line with it and the existence of benchmarks for service standards that are in demand by customers and are realized in the service programs offered, both in terms of reliability, sensitivity, certainty, empathy and its form, 2) Customer interest is also influenced by the leader's vision in winning the competitiveness through a low-cost approach, service differentiation, focusing on strengthening competition in the same service program, or a diversification approach, 3) Efforts to increase competitiveness and customer interest must be built on the basis of an ideal and progressive organizational culture by prioritizing the principle that culture is not just regulations, in accordance with the conditions and movement of the institution's progress, in accordance with the challenges faced by the institution, can be followed by all members and truly implemented by all members.
Application of John Stuart Mill's Formal Equality Theory to Distribution of Inheritance for Adopted Children: A Comparative Study of Burgerlijk Wetboek and Compilation of Islamic Law Sujono, Imam

Abstract

This article examines the application of John Stuart Mill's formal equality theory to inheritance rights of adopted children within Indonesian legal frameworks, specifically the Burgerlijk Wetboek (BW) and Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI). Using a normative juridical approach with secondary data sources including statutory provisions, judicial decisions, and philosophical texts, this research addresses whether differential treatment of adopted versus biological children comports with Mill's formal equality principle. Findings reveal significant normative tensions: both legal regimes restrict adopted children's inheritance rights based primarily on biological lineage, which Mill's theory would deem insufficient justification for unequal treatment. Under the BW, adopted children possess limited rights unless formally adopted through prescribed mechanisms, while the KHI denies adopted children rights under the faraidh system, permitting only wasiat wajibah up to one-third of estates. Judicial interpretation shows modest accommodation through mandatory bequest provisions, yet falls short of full equality. This research concludes that current Indonesian inheritance frameworks contain structural inequalities conflicting with Mill's formal equality principles, necessitating legal reform to eliminate discriminatory provisions based solely on biological status. The article contributes to discourse on harmonizing civil law, Islamic law, and liberal egalitarian principles within pluralistic legal systems.

Abstract

The relationship between gender and spirituality in Islamic mysticism remains a fertile area of inquiry, particularly in regional contexts like Kashmir, where Sufism has shaped both religious and cultural life. This study investigates the role and representation of women within the Sufi traditions of Kashmir, highlighting their spiritual contributions and contested visibility. This research explores the intricate intersection of gender, spirituality, and mysticism through a focused analysis of women in the Sufi traditions of Kashmir. While Sufism in Kashmir has historically been a deeply spiritual and transformative force, the roles, contributions, and experiences of women within this mystical framework have often been marginalised or rendered invisible in mainstream historiography and religious discourse. This research explores the intricate intersection of gender, spirituality, and mysticism through a focused analysis of women in the Sufi traditions of Kashmir. This study seeks to recover and re-centre women’s spiritual agency by examining biographical accounts, hagiographies, and poetic expressions that illuminate the lives and legacies of female Sufi saints, devotees, and mystics in the region. It also interrogates how Kashmiri Sufism, influenced by indigenous traditions, Islamic mysticism, and socio-political dynamics, has provided unique spaces for female spiritual expression and resistance. The study shall contribute to a more inclusive understanding of Islamic mysticism by foregrounding the spiritual agency of women in the Sufi traditions of Kashmir, thereby addressing a significant gap in gendered religious scholarship.
