Abstract

The Muslim beard, far more than facial hair, emerges as a dynamic symbol of faith, intellect, and resistance in a globalized world. Rooted in prophetic injunctions to “trim the moustache and grow the beard” (Sahih Muslim), this practice transcends grooming to embody Sunnah adherence, fitrah (natural disposition), and communal identity. Drawing on qualitative analysis of classical jurisprudence, sociological theories, and ethnographic interviews across the Middle East and Southeast Asia, this study reveals the beard as “lived theology” (de Rooij, 2020)—a marker of piety, scholarly gravitas, and political dissent. In Egypt, post-2011 beard-wearing symbolized reclaiming public space (Fahim, 2012), while Tajikistan’s 2015 crackdown, shaving 13,000 men (U.S. Commission on Religious Freedom, 2024), underscores its weaponization. Regionally, the beard adapts: from Gulf clerical authority to Southeast Asia’s blend of trimmed beards and songkok caps (Olivier, 2018). The study challenges homogenizing narratives, advocating for policies that respect diversity (e.g., Malaysia’s civil-service guidelines) and educational initiatives linking the beard to Islamic ethics and sustainability. This work sheds light on the function of the beard in negotiating modernity, facilitating interfaith discourse, and regaining Muslim identity in the face of secular and Islamophobic forces. It calls for stakeholders—educators, imams, policymakers—to transform this ancient tradition into a resilient, ethical emblem for the 21st century.

Abstract

In an era besieged by information overload and cognitive arrogance, this interdisciplinary study investigates the perilous “illusion of knowledge”—a phenomenon where overconfidence eclipses genuine understanding, exacerbating societal polarization and intellectual stagnation. Bridging modern neuroscience with Islamic epistemology, the research reveals striking parallels: the brain’s Default Mode Network (DMN), linked to self-referential biases and overconfidence, mirrors the Qur’anic concept of kibr (arrogance), while intellectual humility (tawadu’) emerges as both a neurological and spiritual antidote. Through hermeneutic analysis and global case studies—including Senegal’s daara schools and Singapore’s neuroscience-integrated madrasahs—the study demonstrates how pedagogical models blending metacognitive reflection with ethical discipline enhance cognitive flexibility, critical thinking, and empathy. Findings underscore that 80% of individuals overestimate their competence (Dunning-Kruger effect), yet Islamic practices like muhasabah (self-accountability) and adab (ethical inquiry) counteract this by fostering humility and error detection. The paper critiques algorithmic echo chambers and cultural conditioning, advocating for education systems that harmonize ancestral wisdom (e.g., hikmah) with neuroscientific insights to cultivate fitrah-aligned, morally grounded learners. Moreover this synthesis of prophetic wisdom and cognitive science offers a roadmap to dismantle epistemic arrogance, heal polarized societies, and reorient humanity toward curiosity, compassion, and ethical accountability

Abstract

Islamic history, since the dawn of Islam, has formed a fertile ground for research and criticism due to the decisive events that have profoundly impacted the collective consciousness of the Muslim ummah. In this context, our study aims to explore the critical methodology followed by Ibn Kathir in "Al-Bidaya wa'l-Nihaya" and examine his stance on the companions and Islamic sects during the civil wars. The research problem revolves around the nature of Ibn Kathir's critical perspective, the criteria he used in criticizing the narratives, and the extent to which his doctrinal views influenced his presentation and analysis of events. Our findings show that Ibn Kathir provided a balanced and objective critical analysis of the fitan (seditions), combining various reports and weighing them scientifically, ensuring fairness in dealing with the events. Ibn Kathir aimed to help the ummah derive lessons from these fitan rather than using them as a means of political or sectarian incitement. Based on these findings, we recommend conducting independent studies on the impact of historical fitan on the unity of the Muslim ummah and how to prevent the recurrence of such divisions in the present day. Researchers and intellectuals should also contribute to the objective and scientific critique of historical heritage, in the same manner as Ibn Kathir did in his treatment of the major fitan

Abstract

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the responsibility for maintaining peace and security in the “Old City” of Tashkent rested with the district oqsoqol, who carried out these duties by relying on mirshabs and yigits. The appointment of yigits was made by the city chief based on the recommendations of the oqsoqol. This study examines the evolution of public discipline and security systems in the "Old City" of Tashkent during the late 19th and early 20th centuries under Russian colonial rule. It analyzes the imposition of new administrative and legal frameworks, the transformation of traditional forms of social control, and the impact of these changes on the daily lives of the local population. Key aspects explored include the establishment of police forces, the implementation of regulations concerning public order, and the responses of the local community to these measures. The research draws on archival documents, contemporary accounts, and scholarly literature to provide a comprehensive overview of the dynamics of power and social control in this critical period of Tashkent’s history

It also discusses how this synergy can help protect youth from harmful ideologies, including extremism and moral degradation. The study underscores the role of family, educational institutions, and society in fostering a value-based worldview that nurtures spiritually rich and socially responsible individuals

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the prospects for resolving the long-standing Durand Line border dispute between Afghanistan and Pakistan, which has remained one of the most critical issues affecting bilateral relations and regional stability. Using qualitative methods with comparative and content analysis, the research draws upon scholarly works, historical documents, and expert opinions regarding the historical, political, and legal aspects of the border conflict. The results indicate that despite numerous initiatives and proposals—including the creation of joint commissions, international mediation, or the adoption of soft-border models—no practical progress has been achieved in resolving the issue. Armed clashes continue to occur in border areas, while the return of the Taliban in 2021 further complicated the conflict. The study also finds that external actors and geopolitical rivalries have made the conflict more complex, hindering long-term solutions. In conclusion, the Durand Line dispute is unlikely to be resolved in the near future. However, potential solutions may lie in bilateral negotiations, international legal mechanisms, or regional platforms such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. A diplomatic and institutional approach, rather than confrontation, is necessary to promote stability and cooperation between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the representation of the Khwarazmshah Dynasty in Ibn Khaldun’s Tarikh Ibn Khaldun and analyze how the dynasty’s political, social, and cultural aspects were reflected in his historiographical framework. Using a qualitative historical method combined with content analysis, the study explores Ibn Khaldun’s narrative, his evaluation of leadership, and the rise and decline of the dynasty within the broader Islamic historical tradition. The results show that Ibn Khaldun portrayed the Khwarazmshah Dynasty both as a powerful regional authority and as an example of political fragmentation that eventually contributed to its decline. His cyclical theory of the rise and fall of states is evident in the narrative, highlighting issues such as governance, legitimacy, and military challenges. The analysis also reveals that Ibn Khaldun’s description reflects not only historical facts but also his philosophical approach to history, offering lessons on statecraft and social cohesion. In conclusion, Ibn Khaldun’s representation of the Khwarazmshah Dynasty demonstrates the integration of historical events with theoretical reflections. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of Islamic historiography and provides new perspectives on how medieval Muslim scholars interpreted political dynamics in Central Asia.
