Abstract

The accelerating deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) across public and private life has outpaced the moral vocabularies available to evaluate it. Prevailing AI-ethics frameworks, articulated largely within Western traditions, converge on principles such as fairness, transparency, and accountability, yet remain thin on the spiritual and communal dimensions of moral judgement in Muslim societies. This study asks how maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, the higher objectives of Islamic law, may be operationalised as an evaluative instrument for AI governance rather than a declarative ideal. Employing qualitative library research, the study analyses primary Islamic sources alongside peer-reviewed scholarship from 2021 to 2026 through content analysis and philosophical-normative reasoning. The analysis maps four recurring problems (the erosion of privacy, algorithmic bias, opacity and diffuse accountability, and the attrition of human moral agency) and evaluates each against the five essential objectives (al-ḍarūriyyāt al-khams). The resulting framework translates every objective into governance criteria and correlates them with globally recognised AI principles, yielding an eleven-criterion instrument together with an ordering rationale for cases of value conflict. The study contributes an operational, value-based model that complements rather than displaces existing regulatory approaches, offering developers, regulators, and Shariah boards a design vocabulary for anticipating harm before deployment.

Abstract

Women leadership in Islam has become an increasingly discussed research topic due to growing academic interest in gender roles, religious interpretation, empowerment, and women's participation in social and institutional contexts. However, existing studies remain fragmented across various disciplines, making it necessary to understand the overall intellectual structure and development of this research field. This study aims to examine the global research landscape of women leadership in Islam through a bibliometric analysis approach. Data were collected from the Scopus database using relevant keywords related to women leadership and Islamic perspectives. The collected publications were analyzed using bibliometric techniques, including publication trend analysis, citation analysis, co-authorship analysis, institutional and country collaboration analysis, keyword co-occurrence analysis, overlay visualization, and density visualization through VOSviewer. The findings indicate that research on women leadership in Islam has developed through interdisciplinary contributions involving Islamic studies, gender studies, leadership, sociology, and social development. Influential literature highlights themes related to Islamic authority, gender equality, women's empowerment, and leadership experiences within Muslim societies. The collaboration analysis demonstrates strong international research networks involving institutions and countries from different regions, reflecting the global nature of this academic discourse. Furthermore, keyword analysis reveals that Islam, women, and leadership represent the dominant research themes, while emerging discussions increasingly focus on feminism, patriarchy, gender equality, and Muslim women's participation. This study contributes by mapping the intellectual evolution of women leadership research in Islamic contexts and identifying future research directions related to inclusive leadership models, gender equity, and the role of Islamic values in shaping contemporary women's leadership practice.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has transformed the practice of Islamic preaching (da'wah), shifting from conventional communication methods toward digital platforms that enable broader and more interactive religious engagement. This study aims to explore the intellectual structure, publication trends, influential contributions, collaboration patterns, and emerging research themes in the field of Digital Da'wah using a bibliometric analysis approach. Data were retrieved from the Scopus database using relevant keywords related to digital da'wah, online preaching, Islamic communication, and digital religion. The collected publications were analyzed using VOSviewer to visualize co-authorship networks, country collaborations, citation patterns, keyword co-occurrence, thematic evolution, and research density. The findings indicate that Digital Da'wah research has grown significantly, with Indonesia emerging as the most prominent contributor and the primary collaboration center. The literature analysis shows that early research focused mainly on social media utilization, Islamic communication, and online religious dissemination. However, recent studies have expanded toward broader issues, including digital religious authority, mediatization, digital platforms, artificial intelligence ethics, content automation, and ethical technology. The keyword analysis reveals a transition from platform-oriented studies toward interdisciplinary discussions involving communication studies, Islamic studies, and technological innovation. This study concludes that Digital Da'wah has developed into a multidimensional research field reflecting the transformation of religious practices in the digital era. Future research should further investigate ethical frameworks for AI-assisted da'wah, digital religious literacy, algorithmic influence on Islamic content distribution, and sustainable digital religious communities.

Abstract

This paper will focus on the sophisticated discussion of the Islamic feudalism concept, as well as compare land tenure mechanisms of the 7th to 15th centuries Islamic societies. This paper critically discusses the legitimacy of the concept of medieval Islamic socio-economic structures being described as a feudal by comparing it with classical European feudalism and traces the development of the iqta system that developed during the Abbasid era as a system of revenue assignment and looks at some of the regional variations of the iqta system, including the Seljuk, Ayyubid, Mamluk and the Ottoman timar systems. Analysis the indicates that although the Islamic land tenure systems achieved links between military service and land revenues that paralleled European feudalism, there were structural poles that characterized the differences between the systems. Some of the major differences are that: Islamic law is practiced by independent judicial bodies; the separation of land rights and the collection of revenue; the separation of the religious and the military dominion over land; the non-hereditary or limited hereditary transfer of the grants; the preservation of the stronger state authority even in the periods of political decentralization. It shows that the Mamluk mechanisms of military slavery and the Ottoman timar system were involved in the Islamic institutional innovations that had no European analogs. In this article will provide the modern scholarship lays more stress on the insights of these systems in their respective Islamic legal, religious and political systems as opposed to the Eurocentric analytical categories.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of understanding Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah and business ethics orientation on sustainable business decisions among Muslim entrepreneurs in Central Java, Indonesia. A quantitative approach with an explanatory research design was employed, involving 85 Muslim entrepreneurs as respondents. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaires using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using multiple linear regression with IBM SPSS Statistics version 25. The findings reveal that understanding Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah has a positive and statistically significant relationship with sustainable business decisions. Similarly, business ethics orientation demonstrates a positive and significant relationship, indicating a relatively stronger standardized association. The simultaneous regression model is statistically significant, explaining 62.6% of the variance in sustainable business decisions (R² = 0.626). These findings highlight the complementary roles of Islamic legal understanding and ethical commitment in sustainability-oriented entrepreneurial decision-making. The study contributes to Islamic entrepreneurship literature by integrating cognitive understanding of religious objectives and normative ethical orientation within a unified analytical framework. Practically, the findings emphasize the importance of strengthening Islamic economic literacy and ethical business practices to encourage economically viable, socially responsible, and environmentally sustainable entrepreneurial decisions. However, the cross-sectional design and deviation from residual normality warrant caution in interpreting statistical significance and causality.

Abstract

This study examines the relationships between religiosity, trust in halal certification, and consumer loyalty toward halal cosmetics in Jakarta, Indonesia. A quantitative approach with an explanatory and correlational design was employed, involving 65 respondents who were surveyed using a structured questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS version 25. The findings reveal that religiosity has a positive and significant relationship with consumer loyalty, while trust in halal certification also demonstrates a positive and significant relationship. Simultaneously, both variables significantly explain consumer loyalty, with an R² value of 0.369, indicating that 36.9% of the variation in consumer loyalty is explained by the model. Religiosity demonstrates a stronger standardized association with consumer loyalty than certification trust. These findings highlight the importance of religious commitment and institutional certification credibility in understanding consumer loyalty. The study provides practical insights for cosmetic manufacturers and certification authorities to strengthen consumer confidence through credible halal assurance and marketing strategies aligned with religious values.
