Abstract

This study critically examines the concept of nationhood and nationalism as understood by the Salafi group and analyzes the implementation of hadiths related to nationalism within the framework of contemporary Islamic law. Using a qualitative field research approach, the study focuses on approximately 200 Salafi adherents spread across Java and Sumatra. Informants were selected through purposive sampling, and data collection methods included interviews, surveys, and documentation. The research uncovers diverse interpretations of nationhood and nationalism within the Salafi community. A minority of Salafi adherents view nationalism as lacking a strong foundation in Islamic law, considering it a secular concept incompatible with Shari'ah. However, the majority, influenced by contextualist approaches in contemporary Islamic jurisprudence, argue that nationalism aligns with Islamic principles, particularly when understood as a form of maslahah and ukhuwwah wathaniyyah. This perspective is supported by contemporary Islamic scholars who emphasize protecting societal harmony and national unity as part of maqasid al-shari'ah. In practice, Salafi adherents demonstrate their acceptance of nationalism through various socio-religious activities. For instance, Salafi educational institutions integrate the study of Indonesia's independence history into their curriculum, emphasizing the moral responsibility of contributing to national welfare. This study makes academic contributions by providing a deep understanding of how contemporary Salafi groups connect Islamic teachings with modern concepts of nationhood, enriching the discourse on the adaptability of Islamic law in addressing contemporary socio-political challenges, and offering a practical framework for integrating religious values with national identity. It also contributes to discussions on pluralism and nation-building within an Islamic context.

Abstract

The article examines the role of sustainable development in advancing political development from a contemporary Islamic perspective, focusing on how the principles of human rights align with the functions of civil state institutions. The research explores how sustainable development initiatives, as outlined in the 2030 Agenda, resonate with Islamic values of justice, equity, and societal well-being. Employing a qualitative approach, this analysis draws on Islamic jurisprudential sources and international frameworks, such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to highlight areas of alignment and divergence. Findings reveal that sustainable development can be a foundation for political development within a contemporary Islamic framework by supporting governance structures rooted in justice, accountability, and community welfare. Political development within an Islamic context refers to the evolution of governance structures that integrate justice ('Adl), equity (Qist), and accountability (Mas'uliyyah) as foundational principles. This aligns with the Islamic legal tradition, where governance is rooted in Sharia-based ethical and moral obligations. Governance models in Islamic societies incorporate participatory decision-making through institutions such as Shura (consultative councils) and Hisbah (public oversight mechanisms), ensuring justice and accountability in policy implementation. Moreover, the study identifies two primary viewpoints: one that views sustainable development as inherently conducive to political development and another that sees political frameworks, especially democratic participation, as essential for sustainable outcomes. This article underscores that contemporary Islamic principles can complement sustainable development efforts, reinforcing political stability, social justice, and institutional integrity within civil state structures.

Abstract

Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) play a crucial role in shaping global investment flows, but their impact on national sovereignty and economic policy remains a subject of ongoing debate, particularly within the framework of contemporary Islamic economic law. This study addresses a critical gap in the literature by examining how BITs influence regulatory autonomy in nations that adhere to Islamic economic principles. Using a mixed-methods approach, it analyzes quantitative data on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flows from UNCTAD and the World Bank, alongside qualitative case studies of developing countries navigating BITs within Islamic legal frameworks. From a contemporary Islamic economic law perspective, BITs should align with Shariah principles, including economic justice, Maslahah (public interest), and the prohibition of Riba (usury) and Gharar (uncertainty). However, while BITs can enhance FDI inflows and create a more predictable investment climate, they often restrict national policy flexibility, particularly through Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) mechanisms, which may limit government control over critical sectors such as public health, environmental protection, and taxation. This research contributes to the academic discourse by integrating contemporary Islamic economic law into BIT analysis, highlighting the need for treaty reforms that uphold national sovereignty while fostering ethical and sustainable investment. By exploring the intersection of international investment law and Islamic economic values, this study provides valuable insights for policymakers seeking to balance economic growth with social welfare and long-term development in line with Islamic principles.

Abstract

The increasing number of migrants has strengthened the configuration of international relations and legal frameworks in contemporary Islamic politics. However, the concept of an Islamic political system remains ambiguous—whether it refers to countries that implement Islamic law, policies of Muslim-majority states, or the broader discourse on Islamic politics. This study explores the securitization of immigration and refugee policies in Muslim-majority countries by highlighting the connection between international refugee law and contemporary Islamic political principles. The analysis is conducted within a broader framework, examining the development of international refugee law and contemporary Islamic political responses to migration and refugee crises, particularly in Syria, Afghanistan, and Myanmar. Through doctrinal legal analysis and empirical case studies from Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates, this research finds that many Muslim-majority countries have tightened border controls, restricting migrant and refugee access without adequate asylum mechanisms. Additionally, there has been an increase in asylum externalization policies, where responsibility for refugee protection is transferred to third countries, reducing the accountability of primary host nations. Detention policies are also becoming more common, with a growing number of detention centres and deportation practices that often violate contemporary Islamic political principles and international human rights commitments. Furthermore, findings indicate that in many cases, these securitization policies contradict Islamic values of protection and solidarity, which emphasize the rights of refugees and fair treatment for those seeking asylum. This study significantly contributes to evaluating the legal gaps between national policies, contemporary Islamic political principles, and international refugee law while offering policy recommendations that balance security concerns with human rights protection.

Abstract

This study explores the dynamics of financial behaviour among Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) within the framework of contemporary Islamic financial management. It focuses on analyzing the relationship between financial literacy, attitudes toward Islamic finance, intention to manage finances in line with Sharia principles, and the influence of personality traits on financial decision-making. Using a quantitative survey involving MSME actors from various industry sectors, the research finds that while overall financial literacy remains relatively low, most respondents possess a basic understanding of Islamic financial principles. Higher levels of financial literacy—especially in areas like cash flow and investment—are positively linked to effective financial management. A positive attitude toward Islamic finance also enhances MSME actors' intention to apply Sharia-compliant practices in their business operations. Those who value Islamic financial principles tend to manage debt more responsibly and avoid non-compliant financial behaviour. The study further shows that intention plays a central role in shaping Sharia-aligned financial practices. MSME actors with strong Sharia-based financial intentions are more open to using Islamic financial instruments and participating in related educational programs. Personality traits, particularly openness and conscientiousness, are found to significantly influence the likelihood of adopting Islamic financial practices, whereas closed or less detail-oriented individuals face greater challenges. This research contributes to the broader literature on Islamic financial management by offering insights into the behavioural factors influencing MSME financial practices and providing practical implications for strengthening Islamic financial literacy and implementation in the MSME sector.

Abstract

This study explores the legal position and implications of forum selection clauses and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms in contemporary sharia-based property disputes. Although statutory regulations have governed the forum for Sharia economic dispute resolution—generally designating Religious Courts or Sharia Arbitration—practical implementation still raises interpretative challenges, particularly in cases involving third parties or property rights. Using a qualitative method with statutory, comparative, and case study approaches, the research reveals that forum choice clauses in sharia contracts are legally valid and binding, as supported by Supreme Court Circular Letter (SEMA) No. 4 of 2016. However, in practice, disputes involving secondary agreements or third-party claims over property often shift jurisdiction from the Religious Court to the District Court. This occurs especially when the primary issue concerns ownership or property rights tied to sharia-based transactions, such as murabahah, ijarah, or rahn contracts. The findings underscore a dissonance between normative legal frameworks and judicial practice, leading to overlapping authorities and legal uncertainty. The study also identifies a tendency among judges to prioritize the object of dispute (e.g., property or collateral) over the contractual nature, thereby affecting the determination of appropriate forum jurisdiction. This research contributes academically by offering a clearer understanding of how forum selection clauses operate within Indonesia's dual court system and by advocating for a more integrated legal interpretation that aligns Islamic legal principles with national procedural law. Ultimately, it highlights the urgency of harmonizing jurisdictional boundaries to strengthen the enforcement and credibility of sharia economic law in resolving property-related disputes.

Abstract

This study explores the phenomenon of digital activism within the context of contemporary Islamic politics in Indonesia, focusing on the influence of social media on the dynamics of Islamic movements. Social media has emerged as a new space for political mobilization and religious discourse, enabling Islamic groups to expand their reach, enhance participation, and consolidate support. The study employs a qualitative approach with a critical analysis of the content, strategies, and impacts of social media use by various Islamic movements, ranging from moderate to conservative. The findings reveal that social media serves as a communication tool and a discursive space for shaping identities, conveying political narratives, and mobilizing collective action. On the other hand, the use of social media by Islamic movements also presents challenges, including polarization, misinformation, and the potential for radicalization. The research highlights that digital activism has reshaped the landscape of Islamic politics in Indonesia, with social media as a key catalyst for this transformation. However, its impact must be critically understood within broader social, political, and cultural contexts. These findings significantly contribute to studying Islamic politics and digital transformation in the modern era. The research expands academic literature on contemporary Islamic politics by analyzing the role of social media as a tool for political transformation within Islamic movements in Indonesia. This study offers a fresh perspective on the intersection of religion and digital technology, emphasizing how social media shapes political identity, mobilizes support, and influences public discourse and policy. Academically, this research contributes by providing a nuanced understanding of the digitalization of religious, political movements in a non-Western democratic context, enriching comparative studies on digital activism and political Islam.

Abstract

The digital era has changed the workforce significantly, especially with the rise of online-based jobs. This study aims to analyze the enhancement of online workers' employability through the perspective of contemporary Islamic Economic Law. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study of online workers across various sectors. The findings indicate that digitalization has expanded job opportunities and introduced challenges such as income instability and a lack of legal protection. From the perspective of Islamic Economic Law, principles of justice, balance, and ethics in transactions play a crucial role in ensuring the sustainability and well-being of online workers. Therefore, appropriate regulations aligned with Islamic economic principles are needed to promote fairness and welfare for workers in the digital era. The main contribution of this study is to provide new insights into the application of Islamic Economic Law principles in the context of digital employment and offer policy recommendations to enhance the well-being of online workers. Additionally, this research contributes to developing Islamic digital economy literature and serves as a foundation for more inclusive and fair regulations for workers in the digital age.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the implementation of the green investment paradigm in Morowali’s mining industry based on the principles of maqasid al-shari‘ah. The research method used was a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis through literature studies, interviews with mining industry stakeholders, and observations of the environmental impacts caused by mining activities. The data were analyzed using the maqasid al-shari‘ah approach to evaluate the extent to which the mining industry in Morowali had implemented sustainability principles in its operations. The results showed that although some companies had adopted environmentally friendly practices, such as land reclamation and the use of waste processing technologies, many aspects still did not align with maqasid al-shari‘ah. Excessive resource exploitation, environmental pollution, and social inequality remained, which impacted the welfare of the local community. In conclusion, the application of green investment in the mining industry of Morowali still required optimization based on maqasid al-shari‘ah, particularly in the areas of hifẓ al-bī’ah (environmental protection), hifẓ al-nafs (protection of life), and hifẓ al-māl (protection of wealth). Within the framework of contemporary Islam, this study emphasized the importance of revitalizing maqasid al-shari‘ah as an ethical and strategic foundation for sustainable investment. The academic contribution of this research lies in the integration of maqasid al-shari‘ah in the analysis of green investment in the mining sector, which has been limited in previous studies. This study provides a new perspective on Islamic economics by highlighting how the principles of maqasid al-shari‘ah can serve as an ethical framework for sustainable investment.

Abstract

This article explores the phenomenon of misappropriation in the distribution of three-kilogram subsidized LPG through trade practices in West Sumatra, analyzed from the perspective of the Islamic law that focuses on the principles of justice (‘adl) and trustworthiness (amanah). The study also examines the mechanisms through which subsidized LPG diversion occurs in trade and how Islamic legal principles interpret such practices, particularly in the context of subsidy distribution inequality. A qualitative approach with a descriptive method was employed in this research. Primary data were collected through field observations and structured interviews with 20 sellers and 10 buyers directly involved in the trade of subsidized LPG. Secondary data were sourced from academic journals, scholarly articles, and policy reports concerning energy subsidy distribution. The findings reveal that the trade of subsidized LPG is driven by weak regulatory oversight, unequal distribution channels, and the widespread use of social media platforms for transactions. As a result, subsidies intended for low-income communities are often diverted to middle- and upper-income groups, exacerbating social inequality and increasing the economic burden on vulnerable populations. From an Islamic legal perspective, such practices violate the principles of justice and trustworthiness and may be classified as ghasab—the unlawful seizure of others’ rights. Therefore, the study emphasizes the urgent need for reform in the subsidized LPG distribution system through improved oversight, the utilization of digital technology, and public education on the importance of maintaining trust in state-subsidized resources.
