Abstract

As the global economy grapples with rising inequality, technological disruption, and the socio-economic aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Universal Basic Income (UBI) has gained traction as a promising policy to promote economic security and social justice. This article examines UBI using a qualitative, conceptual, and normative approach, analysing its compatibility with key principles of Islamic economics, such as Zakat (mandatory almsgiving), Sadaqah (voluntary charity), Maslahah(public interest), and I’tidal (balance and moderation). By drawing on Islamic teachings, classical scholarship, and modern economic thought, the article argues that UBI aligns closely with Islamic ethical values and offers a practical, morally sound solution to addressing poverty and inequality. The paper further suggests that Malaysia, with its strong Islamic finance sector and advanced digital infrastructure, is well-positioned to pioneer the global rollout of UBI. Through descriptive and critical analysis and secondary data, it explores how Islamic financial tools like Waqf, Sukuk, and a reformed Zakat system could sustainably fund UBI. In doing so, Malaysia has the opportunity to lead in developing a transformative economic model inspired by Islamic principles.

Abstract

This paper explores the insights to the solution against secular monetary system by drawing on the philosophical thoughts of Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas. This paper argues that the Muslim world's economic and civilizational decline is deeply rooted in a crisis of knowledge, marked by the loss of adab (right action and proper place), the erosion of authentic leadership, and the secularization of thought. Al-Attas identifies this as a vicious cycle caused by the confusion of knowledge and the disconnection of metaphysical truths from worldly systems. He critiques secularization as a philosophical and scientific program that strips away the spiritual dimension from nature, politics, and morality, leading to a worldview where monetary systems like fiat money are legitimized without intrinsic value, relying instead on state authority and public trust. While fiat money serves as a central medium of exchange in modern economies, created through mechanisms such as central banking and fractional reserve lending, its detachment from any real commodity base raises profound concerns about inflation, instability, and systemic inequality. This paper contends that the real challenge for Muslims is not merely economic or political, but fundamentally intellectual and spiritual. Positive resistance must therefore begin with a reorientation of knowledge rooted in the Islamic worldview, reviving metaphysical consciousness and ethical clarity. Revisiting the concept of money is essential, especially when a secular system is globally enforced regardless of religious beliefs, posing a threat to moral order and the long-term sustainability of society.

Abstract

Female entrepreneurship in Ghana is a practice which scholars have explored severally in recent years. Just as many other countries, the role of Ghanaian Muslim women has been undermined for a longer period. However, the 20th century marked a positive turn in Ghanaian culture. The rate of discrimination and seclusion of women from economic empowerment started reducing significantly. Today, Ghanaian women are struggling to compete effectively with their male counterparts in entrepreneurial sector. The purpose of having women empowerment on the market economy is to generate more income to the country. Also, the practice lessens the rate of unemployment and high rate of dependency in Ashaiman. Hence, it is apparent that the entrepreneurial actions in Ashaiman are motivated by a number of factors that are presented in the paper. From the study of the influential factors and motivation for female Muslim entrepreneurs in Ashaiman, it has been noted that the process of entrepreneurship among the current female entrepreneurs in the country can be categorized as either passive or initiative. While looking at the passive entrepreneurship among the female entrepreneurs, it is noted that those people are driven by the daily needs of their families. On the other hand, initiative entrepreneurship relies much more on human capital and social capital. The zeal and motivation that they possess lead them to developing far-sighted enterprises, hence contributing to the economic development of the country.

Abstract

This study aims to explore and establish the relationship, if any, between halalan toyyiban and organic foods, aiming to elucidate the value proposition of halalan-toyyiban foods. Three common characteristics have been identified: quality, safety, and healthiness, which are representative of both halalan-toyyiban and organic foods. This discovery implies a close relationship between these two food classifications. Understanding the distinct criteria used to classify foods as halalan toyyiban or organic, and identifying their shared characteristics, can aid consumers in making informed food choices. Furthermore, the findings of this study could potentially benefit Malaysia in promoting halalan toyyiban and organic food products in the global market by leveraging these commonalities. It's important to note that this study is exploratory and the first of its kind, suggesting the need for further research to deepen understanding and knowledge on this subject. In conclusion, this research seeks to contribute to the discourse on halalan toyyiban and organic foods, exploring synergies between them and paving the way for future studies to expand upon these findings.
