Abstract

This study examines global trends, topic development, and collaborative networks in halal sector research through a scientometric analysis of Scopus publications from 2000 to 2025. The analysis, utilizing VOSviewer and Biblioshiny for data visualization, reveals four predominant research clusters: halal food, halal tourism, supply chain management, and sustainability. The findings indicate a transition from conventional issues of religious adherence and certification to modern topics including digital innovation, ethical consumption, and sustainable business practices. Malaysia and Indonesia are the primary suppliers, bolstered by robust institutional networks involving Universiti Teknologi MARA, International Islamic University Malaysia, and Universitas Gadjah Mada. Notwithstanding increasing regional collaboration, global participation is predominantly concentrated in Southeast Asia, with minimal involvement from Western and African institutions. This study enhances theoretical development by delineating the intellectual framework of halal research and provides practical implications for policymakers and industry stakeholders aiming to amalgamate halal principles with sustainability, governance, and technological progress.

Abstract

This study analyzes the intellectual development and worldwide context of Islamic environmentalism, also referred to as Green Islam, via a bibliometric mapping of works indexed in Scopus from 1990 to 2025. The analysis employs VOSviewer and the Bibliometrix R-package to identify prominent authors, institutions, nations, and theme clusters influencing the discourse on Islam and environmental sustainability. The findings indicate that the domain has evolved from initial religious and philosophical discourse to interdisciplinary interactions encompassing Islamic law, ethics, finance, and education. Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia and Malaysia, stands out as the principal center of academic output and collaboration, with fundamental values like stewardship (khalīfah), balance (mīzān), and trust (amānah) forming the foundation of intellectual advancement. Notwithstanding its expansion, the discipline continues to be inadequately represented in empirical environmental research, indicating a necessity for enhanced interdisciplinary integration. This study enhances the theoretical framework of Islamic eco-ethics and provides practical guidance for policymakers and faith-based groups aiming to integrate Islamic principles with sustainability initiatives.

Abstract

This paper offers a thorough scientometric examination of Maqasid al-Shariah research from 2000 to 2025, utilizing data obtained from the Scopus database. The study employs performance analysis and network visualization (utilizing VOSviewer and Bibliometrix) to discern significant publication patterns, prominent authors, institutions, and nascent research themes. Findings indicate that Malaysia and Indonesia lead in worldwide maqasid research, exhibiting robust cooperation throughout Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Thematic clusters identify three primary research domains: jurisprudential foundations, Islamic finance and sustainable development, and ethical-humanistic studies. The analysis underscores a gradual transition from conventional fiqh to interdisciplinary applications, demonstrating maqasid’s flexibility in relation to modern socio-economic and technical environments. This study enhances both theoretical and practical insights into maqasid as a multifaceted framework that informs ethics, policy, and governance within contemporary Islamic philosophy.

Abstract

This study reviews the intersection of Islamic principles and green economy practices, emphasizing how Sharia law can guide sustainable business operations. Using a literature review approach, 15 scholarly articles from Google Scholar were analyzed to identify key Sharia-based concepts—such as stewardship (khalifah), avoidance of waste (israf), ethical investment, and social responsibility—that support environmentally sustainable and socially responsible business practices. The findings reveal that integrating Sharia principles into corporate strategies promotes ecological preservation, ethical governance, and long-term economic resilience. Practical approaches highlighted include Sharia-compliant financing, green supply chain management, and eco-friendly corporate governance. This study underscores the potential of Islamic jurisprudence as a framework for advancing the green economy, offering insights for scholars, policymakers, and business practitioners seeking to harmonize religious ethics with sustainable development.

Abstract

This study examines religious digital literacy among Islamic boarding school students through a critical analysis of the Salafiyah Islamic boarding school curriculum. Using a qualitative research approach, data were collected from five informants consisting of teachers, students, and curriculum administrators through in-depth interviews, participant observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that while Salafiyah pesantren maintain a strong emphasis on traditional religious learning based on classical texts (kitab kuning), there is a growing awareness among teachers and students of the importance of digital literacy in strengthening religious understanding and critical thinking. However, the integration of digital literacy remains limited due to concerns over maintaining moral discipline, lack of digital infrastructure, and insufficient teacher training. The study identifies key challenges such as the tension between preserving traditional values and adapting to technological advancements. It also highlights opportunities for developing a contextualized digital literacy framework grounded in Islamic ethics. The results suggest that religious digital literacy in Salafiyah pesantren can serve as a bridge between faith-based education and the demands of the digital era, promoting responsible digital engagement while preserving religious authenticity.

Abstract

This study explores the transformation and contestation of religious authority in Indonesia’s post-truth era through a qualitative case study of fatwas issued by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) and the interpretive narratives of online preachers. The post-truth era—where emotion and personal belief often overshadow factual or scholarly legitimacy—poses unique challenges to institutional religious bodies. Utilizing a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews of three informants—an MUI fatwa commission member, an online preacher, and a Muslim academic—this research investigates how authority, authenticity, and credibility are constructed, perceived, and contested in the digital age. The findings reveal that MUI continues to maintain doctrinal legitimacy through its procedural and scholarly rigor, yet it struggles to compete with the affective appeal and immediacy of online religious influencers. Online preachers, empowered by digital platforms, reshape religious discourse through personalization, storytelling, and interactivity, often appealing to emotion rather than jurisprudential authority. Meanwhile, academics view this transformation as both an opportunity for religious democratization and a challenge to theological coherence. The study concludes that religious authority in Indonesia is shifting from institutional centralization to networked pluralism, where credibility is negotiated between traditional expertise and popular visibility. This shift calls for a renewed ethical and communicative framework that bridges scholarly authenticity with digital accessibility in order to preserve the integrity of Islamic knowledge in the post-truth era.

Abstract

This study investigates the intersection between Islamic popular culture and the commodification of religion through Muslim fashion products on Instagram. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with three key informants: a Muslim fashion influencer, a brand owner, and a consumer of Islamic fashion. Thematic analysis was used to explore how Islamic values are represented, negotiated, and commercialized within digital fashion culture. The findings reveal that Instagram serves as a hybrid space where faith and consumerism coexist, allowing Islamic symbols such as the hijab, modest wear, and Quranic motifs to function simultaneously as expressions of piety and as marketable commodities. Influencers and brands strategically use religious narratives to establish authenticity and attract audiences seeking both spiritual meaning and lifestyle identity. Meanwhile, consumers engage with these products as markers of belonging and moral expression, despite recognizing the risk of superficial religiosity. The study concludes that Muslim fashion on Instagram exemplifies the transformation of religion into a digital commodity—where spiritual values are aestheticized, marketed, and consumed in alignment with contemporary capitalist and media logics.

Abstract

This study examines the acceptance of LGBTQ issues within Islamic law through the perspective of Maqasid al-Shariah using a literature review of ten scholarly documents sourced from Google Scholar. The research explores how traditional juristic interpretations and contemporary reformist perspectives engage with sexual and gender diversity in light of the higher objectives of Shariah, namely the protection of religion (hifz al-din), life (hifz al-nafs), intellect (hifz al-‘aql), lineage (hifz al-nasl), and property (hifz al-mal). Findings indicate that classical jurisprudence predominantly views LGBTQ behaviors as incompatible with moral and social order, while modern scholarship advocates contextual, compassionate, and ethically principled approaches. The Maqasid al-Shariah framework provides a pathway for balancing adherence to divine objectives with the promotion of justice, human dignity, and social welfare. The study highlights that, although traditional positions remain restrictive, Islamic law has the potential to engage inclusively with contemporary social realities without compromising its ethical and spiritual foundations.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of Sharia financial literacy and religious attitudes on investment behavior among Muslim millennials in Indonesia. The research aims to understand how financial knowledge grounded in Islamic principles and religious commitment shape investment decision-making in a faith-based context. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from 175 respondents through a structured questionnaire employing a Likert scale (1–5). The data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, including validity, reliability, and multiple regression tests. The findings reveal that both Sharia financial literacy and religious attitudes have positive and significant effects on investment behavior. The regression model shows that Sharia financial literacy contributes more strongly, indicating that higher understanding of Islamic financial concepts enhances rational and ethical investment choices. The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.537) demonstrates that both variables explain 53.7% of the variation in investment behavior. The study concludes that a combination of financial competence and religious values fosters responsible, Sharia-compliant investment behavior among young Muslim investors. These findings suggest that promoting Islamic financial education and strengthening religious awareness can enhance sustainable participation in the Islamic financial market.
