Abstract

Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into religious practices offers both significant opportunities and ethical challenges that need to be carefully considered. As AI technologies become more embedded in daily life, their application within spiritual contexts, including Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam, raises critical questions about privacy, data security, authenticity, and the commodification of sacred experiences. This study examines the ethical issues raised by AI in religious settings and explores ways to address them. The goal is to create a balanced approach that takes advantage of technology's benefits while respecting religious beliefs. Guided by the ethical framework of Principlism theory, including not harming (non-maleficence), doing good (beneficence), fairness (justice), and freedom (autonomy), the research employs qualitative document analysis and case studies from China, India, and Japan, to explore AI’s role in virtual worship, digital religious education, and personalised spiritual guidance. AI allows for virtual worship services, breaking down physical boundaries as witnessed globally. Its algorithms can analyse religious texts, leading to deeper comprehension. Additionally, it provides tailored guidance, which can enrich spiritual paths. By utilising AI, religious practices can become more engaging and inclusive, especially for diverse populations. The paper concludes that while AI holds transformative potential for enriching religious life, its implementation must be carefully aligned with ethical principles and cultural sensitivities to preserve the integrity and authenticity of diverse religious traditions. Future research should focus on developing ethical AI frameworks through collaboration among theologians, ethicists, and AI developers, and assess their impact on community engagement and spiritual authenticity.

Abstract

This article examines the concept of ḥayāʼ (modesty) in contemporary Salafi discourse, a topic that is often overlooked in academic studies, reducing it to a narrow understanding of shame. In relation to classical Islamic ethics present ḥayāʼ as a multidimensional virtue encompassing dignity, self-restraint, and moral responsibility, this study fills the gap by analysing how modern Salafi thinkers redefine ḥayāʼ as a preventive ethical framework central to Islamic piety and behaviour. The research aims at identifying the meanings, forms, and functions of ḥayāʼ as exemplified in five major Salafi texts from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia. It employs a tripartite approach consisting of historical contextualization, close textual analysis, and ethical interpretation to establish contemporary Salafi modesty discourse within the broader Islamic moral tradition. The findings show that Salafi scholars combine classical ḥadith-based definitions with determined Sufi ethical insights to present ḥayāʼ as a comprehensive moral force. They emphasise its role in fostering God-consciousness, discouraging immoral behaviour, and nurturing disciplined conduct, thereby reinforcing both individual virtue and social order. The study demonstrates that Salafi ethics of modesty reflect a hybrid character that remains committed to tradition while adapting to contemporary Muslim contexts. As a result, this research contributes to a more nuanced understanding of Islamic ethics, particularly in clarifying the expanding role of ḥayāʼ in the Salafi discourse. It also encourages further research to assess how other Islamic schools align or differ from Salafism in their ethical views on ḥayāʼ and related virtues.

Abstract

This study is aimed at revealing the strategies of advocacy for Muslim women and children who become victims of domestic violence in Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia.  This research was conducted at the ‘Legal Resources Centre for Gender Justice and Human Rights’ (LRC KJHAM) and the ‘Regional Technical Implementation Unit for the Protection of Women and Children’ (UPTD PPA). Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews and documentation. It employs two main theories, namely conflict theory and the maqasid al-shari’a (objectives of Islamic law). The results show that the advocacy efforts embrace complaint services, assessment, medical referrals, provision of safe houses, counselling, litigation and non-litigation legal assistance, empowerment, and policy advocacy. Based on conflict theory, a dialectic is found in domestic violence cases.  This can be observed that male dominance in a patriarchal system represents a thesis, whilst rejection of violence as a violation of human rights and Islamic principles embodies an antithesis, and advocacy as a form of resolution serves as synthesis. Furthermore, from the perspective of maqasid al-shari’a, this advocacy aligns with the five essential objectives of Islamic law, namely, preservation of religion (ḥifẓ al-dīn) through strengthening faith; preservation of life (ḥifẓ al-nafs) through medical services and safe houses; preservation of lineage (ḥifẓ al-naśl) through child protection and legal aid; preservation of intellect (ḥifẓ al-‘aql) through counselling; and preservation of wealth (ḥifẓ al-māl) through economic empowerment. This paper argues that the advocacy provided in these two institutions is not merely legal-formal, but also reflects a broader effort for social transformation rooted in Islamic teachings.

Abstract

This article explores the Tombor Maghi ritual among the Fakfak community in West Papua Province, Indonesia, which strengthens interfaith relations, particularly between Muslims and Christians. Originally part of a traditional marriage custom, the ritual has developed into a broader form of community solidarity involving cross-religious cooperation. While scholars in anthropology and sociology have extensively studied rituals, research that focuses explicitly on rituals within the context of inter-religious relations remains relatively underdeveloped. This study addresses three main research questions: how the Tombor Maghi ritual is practiced and interpreted by the Fakfak community across religious affiliations; what role the ritual plays in fostering interfaith cooperation and reinforcing communal solidarity; and what symbolic and social significance the ritual holds within the broader framework of lived religion and indigenous approaches to peacebuilding. This study employs a qualitative methodology, utilising a realist ethnographic approach. Data were collected through interviews and field observations conducted in Fakfak Regency. The findings indicate that Tombor Maghi continues to be preserved as a form of cultural dialogue that weaves together interfaith relations. The ritual reflects cultural knowledge that is created, transmitted, and practised in daily life. It provides a space for Muslims and Christians to collaborate through community-based initiatives, such as at mosques and churches. In light of these findings, further research related to this topic is suggested because there are still many interesting issues to discuss in connection with rituals that have become a philosophy in social life.

Abstract

Prayers play a significant role in the pursuit of a spiritual culture that fosters the social fabric of everyday life in a spiritual marketplace. Many people increasingly embrace Islam and Muslim clerics because they wield significant spiritual capital, often influenced by neoliberal ideology.  Nevertheless, limited scholarly attention is devoted to these expressive cultural practices as it is lived. This study examines how itinerant Muslim clerics in Yoruba society creatively market and deliver prayers in public spaces and explores the socio-religious functions these practices fulfil in contemporary urban contexts.  The research explores the material and embodied power inherent in Islamic symbolism by focusing on clerics who publicly offer prayers and blessings as a means to soothe and respond to the complexities of human existence. Utilising performance theory as its analytical framework, and drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in southwest Nigeria, the study explores how the commodification of prayers is mobilised to shape urban life. It further investigates the ritualised pursuit of baraka (divine blessing) among religious consumers aiming to attain personal goals, most notably success, hope, survival, and livelihood. These salient yet creative practices illustrate how the Yoruba people construct and ‘live’ to create a reflective spiritual lifestyle that embeds Islamic sensibilities and meanings within the broader socio-cultural landscape of everyday urban life.
