Abstract

Background: Globally, political power, economic systems, and cultural identities are all being shaped by the transformative forces of globalization. Striking a balance between global integration and the preservation of sovereignty, Islamic values, and cultural heritage is a daunting task for countries with Muslim-majority populations.Objectives: The objective of this research is to critically analyze the ways in which globalization affects the political, economic, and cultural aspects of Muslim states and to pinpoint tactical avenues for participation that is both flexible and grounded in values.Methods: Using a thorough analysis of current academic literature, policy documents, and institutional reports, the study takes a qualitative, conceptual approach. Globalization Theory, World-Systems Theory, and Political Islam are integrated into a multifaceted analytical framework that directs the analysis.Results: The results show that Muslim governments actively participate in global networks and are not merely passive consumers of globalization. In terms of politics, they negotiate sovereignty within global governance frameworks; in terms of the economy, they are structurally dependent but exhibit innovation through the halal and Islamic finance sectors; and in terms of culture, they manage conflicts between Islamic identity and global influences by using hybrid and adaptive tactics. The primary contribution of the paper is an integrated analytical model that connects ideological and policy responses in the Muslim world with structural limitations.Conclusion: Adaptive governance, economic diversity, and culturally sensitive policymaking are necessary for effective engagement with globalization. By utilizing their normative frameworks, Muslim governments can improve their standing internationally while preserving their strategic independence.

Abstract

Background: Although the interaction between Japan and the Islamic world has been extensively studied in historical and geopolitical contexts, there are still few consequences for comparative religious studies. In example, despite their similar focus on spiritual development, the relationship between Sufism and Zen Buddhism has not been thoroughly examined.Objectives: Through the themes of self-discipline, awareness, and transcendence, this research compares Sufi and Zen traditions and looks at Japanese Islamic connections within a civilizational framework.Methods: This study uses a qualitative comparative methodology based on religion studies, combining phenomenology, comparative hermeneutics, and civilizational analysis. Classical Sufi and Zen texts are examples of primary sources, which are bolstered by secondary historical and theoretical literature. A triadic framework that emphasizes self-discipline, awareness cultivation, and transcendental experience is used to organize the analysis.Results: The results show that Sufism and Zen share fundamental parallels in their approaches to disciplined practice and experiential transformation, despite little direct historical interaction. But their metaphysical underpinnings are very different; Zen is based on a non-theistic understanding of reality, whereas Sufism is based on a theistic framework.Conclusion: This study demonstrates that meaningful comparison between Sufism and Zen is possible at the level of practice and experience rather than doctrine. It contributes to comparative religious studies by offering a balanced framework that highlights both convergence and divergence, providing a relevant model for interreligious dialogue in a globalized context.

Abstract

Background: In multiple societies, such as Nigeria, where various religious communities coexist, religious tolerance is an essential value. An exceptional example of long-lasting interfaith cooperation impacted by Islamic teachings and sociocultural fusion is the Ilorin Emirate.Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the idea of religious tolerance from an Islamic viewpoint, as well as how it has historically and socially been used in the Ilorin Emirate and what that means for societal cohesion and peace.Method: This study uses a qualitative methodology with thematic, historical, and textual analysis. Both original sources, such as the Qur'an and Hadith, and secondary sources, such as academic literature and historical documents pertaining to the Ilorin Emirate, are used to gather data.Results: Justice (ʿadl), compassion (raḥmah), piety (taqwā), and wisdom (ḥikmah) are the four fundamental characteristics that shape religious tolerance in the Ilorin Emirate. Patterns of institutional integration, interfaith social interaction, and educational influence all reflect these ideas. The report also highlights important issues that jeopardize the longevity of tolerance, such as radical ideologies, political exploitation of religion, and socioeconomic disparity.Conclusion: By connecting Islamic theological ideas with their real-world implementation in a regional setting, this study adds to the body of literature and shows how religion can be a basis for long-term interfaith harmony. The results emphasize how crucial it is to improve religious leadership, education, and interfaith communication in order to preserve social harmony in plural society.

Abstract

Background: Arabic oratory played a significant role in Arab civilization. With the advent of Islam, it changed significantly from tribal rhetoric to a tool for social control and moral guidance. But little is known about its use in early Islam as a civilizational communication mechanism.Objectives: This study looks at how, during the Prophetic and Rashidun eras, Arabic oratory supported societal cohesiveness, ethical development, and the legitimacy of government.Methods: Descriptive-analytical and hermeneutic techniques were used in a qualitative textual approach. Selected sermons (khutbah), sirah stories, and ancient rhetorical writings that were purposefully picked for their significance to ethics, governance, and communal identity made up the data. Thematic coding, interpretive analysis, and contextual reading were used to study the data.Results: The results demonstrate that Arabic oratory served as a fundamental channel for political legitimacy, communal integration, and moral internalization. Sermons facilitated the shift from tribal division to a morally cohesive ummah by transforming concepts of justice, accountability, and communal duty into common social standards.Conclusion: This study comes to the conclusion that early Islamic Arabic oratory was a civilizational infrastructure of communication rather than just a rhetorical tradition. Repositioning oratory as a strategic channel connecting revelation, ethics, and government in the development of Islamic culture is its scientific contribution.

Abstract

Background: Poverty, food insecurity, inadequate healthcare, and unemployment are just a few of the many human security issues Northern Nigeria faces. Although Islamic philanthropy has traditionally contributed to social welfare, little is known about its systematic role in sustainable development and human security.Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate how Islamic charitable practices, such as zakat, waqf, and sadaqah, enhance aspects of human security and promote sustainable development outcomes in Northern Nigeria. Additionally, it looks for ways whereby state-led programs are enhanced by faith-based philanthropy.Method: The study integrates document analysis, thematic synthesis, and literature evaluation using a qualitative analytical methodology. While the function of Islamic philanthropy is investigated through its religious, social, and institutional contexts, human security is evaluated across economic, food, health, and social dimensions.Results: Results show that Islamic giving greatly reduces poverty, increases community stability, and promotes food and health security. While waqf and sadaqah offer long-term funding for emergency relief, healthcare, and education, zakat is the most effective tool. When taken as a whole, these tools serve as community-based social safety nets that support official development programs.Conclusion: By combining Islamic generosity with the human security framework, this study adds to the body of literature by providing conceptual and useful insights for practice and policy. These results can be used by governments and charitable organizations to improve human security and resource allocation. To further validate these insights, future study may include comparative studies and empirical data.

Abstract

Background: Prophetic Medicine (Al-Tibb al-Nabawi) recommends performing Hijama (wet cupping) on specific mid-lunar days (17th, 19th, and 21st of the Hijri month). This recommendation has lacked empirical validation until now.Objectives: This study aims to empirically validate whether these lunar phases are associated with measurable variations in hemostatic and immunological parameters relevant to Hijama's therapeutic mechanisms.Methods: 258 healthy persons between the ages of 18 and 50 participated in a cross-sectional study conducted in Yemen's Ad'Dla Governorate. Automated systems were used to analyse blood samples taken during the new moon (1st–5th Hijri days) and mid-lunar phase (17th–21st Hijri days) for full blood counts and coagulation profiles. Paired t-tests, two-way ANOVA, bootstrapping, and Bayesian analysis were used to assess the data.Results: Significant improvements in hemostatic and immunological measures, such as higher platelet, monocyte, neutrophil, and eosinophil counts and a shorter clotting time, were linked to the mid-lunar phase (all p < 0.05). ANCOVA verified that these changes were independent of environmental influences (p-phase < 0.001; p-temp > 0.05), and all values stayed within normal clinical ranges.Conclusion: This work supports a fundamental idea in prophetic medicine and the foundation of lunar chronotherapy by offering the first empirical proof that mid-Hijri lunar days are linked to enhanced hemostatic and immunological responses. To verify their clinical usefulness after Hijama, more randomised controlled trials are required.

Abstract

Background: Neither African public finance studies nor Islamic fiscal studies have examined the administration of zakat in Kenya or the potential impact of domestic resource mobilization on public health financing to any significant extent.Objectives: This study examines how modern zakat governance has been shaped by the historical interplay between Islamic fiscal standards, the Omani government, British colonial rule, and Kenya’s post-independence constitutional framework. This study differs from previous research in that it provides the first empirical and phenomenological analysis of zakat governance in Kenya. It combines the concept of historical legal pluralism with original field evidence to assess whether state-administered zakat is an effective source of funding for public health.Methods: Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used in conjunction with discursive analysis in this study. Qualitative data were collected from 166 participants in Mombasa and Nairobi, including 107 zakat payers, 42 Islamic scholars and religious leaders, and 17 policymakers and non-Muslim stakeholders. The data were organized into eight analytical themes. Result: The results show that Kenya’s zakat governance is legally pluralistic; among the 166 participants, trust, authority, legality, and consent emerged as key themes. Nearly all Muslims oppose government-administered zakat because they are concerned about corruption, constitutional obstacles, and the importance of preserving Islamic legal authority.Conclusion: This study proposes “conditional consent” as a legally and institutionally viable framework that can be used to reconcile the principles of Islamic finance with Kenya’s constitutional structure. It will expand the theoretical discourse on domestic resource mobilization and legal pluralism.

Abstract

The article focuses on the critical analysis of how digital media mediate the activities involving engagement with the Quran and how it changes the religious literacy in modern Southeast Asia. The scholarship of the study on digital religion, interdisciplinary scholarship in Islamic studies, and the theory of religious literacy analyzes the impacts of mobile Qur'an applications, social media platforms, and online educational initiatives on the transformation of Quranic access, interpretation, as well as authority. The paper constructs a multidimensional system of digital Quranic religious literacy, including textual, interpretive, ethical, and authority-related competencies through a qualitative/critical analytical method using secondary literature. The study shows that digital mediation has contrasting literacy results, which are influenced by platform logic, institutional regulation, language, and local culture, using a comparative analysis of Indonesia and Malaysia. Even though digital media provide opportunities for increased accessibility and informal and lifelong Quranic education, particularly among young people, they bring about chances of fragmentation, insufficient engagement, and inadequate scholarly mediation. It should be reflected in the article that digital transformation does not displace classical Islamic epistemology and does not presuppose a rise of literacy, but, on the contrary, one must integrate pedagogies, govern ethically, and find a new interpretive responsibility. The research has a theoretical and regional contribution to the discourse on digital religion and education in Islam and religious authority.

Abstract

Background: In Yorubaland, Nigeria, Islamic da’wah (preaching) traditions have changed dramatically due to the development of electronic and digital technologies. Traditional itinerant preaching has given way to technology-mediated methods. Although these developments have increased da’wah's reach, they have also brought forth new potential and difficulties that need for empirical research.Objective: By identifying modern da’wah techniques, assessing their effects on Yoruba Muslims, and analyzing the difficulties involved in their application, this study investigates the current developments in Islamic da’wah in Yorubaland.Method: A mixed-methods study design was used. In addition to non-participant observation, standardized questionnaires were used to gather quantitative data from 300 respondents chosen from the six states of Southwestern Nigeria. Descriptive statistics, such as percentages and frequencies, were used to analyze the data.Results: The results show that the most popular contemporary da’wah techniques include public address systems, radio, television, audio-visual media, and social media platforms. According to respondents, these strategies have improved religious knowledge (79.3%), increased youth participation (83.7%), and broadened the reach of Islamic teachings (82.3%). The absence of social media censorship (87.0%), the rise of unqualified self-styled preachers (86.0%), the careless use of public address systems (80.7%), and the propagation of hate speech (79.0%) are significant obstacles, nevertheless.Conclusion: In Yorubaland, modern technology has significantly increased the efficacy of Islamic da’wah, but it has also presented ethical and legal difficulties. To ensure authentic and long-lasting da’wah practices, it is imperative to adopt a code of conduct for preachers, strengthen institutional monitoring, and improve ICT proficiency among Islamic scholars.

Abstract

Background: Islamic Studies education plays a vital role in shaping the values, ethics, and professional conduct of Muslim graduates. While previous studies have focused on graduate employability and curriculum effectiveness, limited research has examined how Islamic Studies education contributes to the development of professional identity among Muslim university graduates in the Southern Philippines.Objectives: This study examined the influence of Islamic Studies education on the professional identity of Muslim graduates of Mindanao State University Maguindanao. Specifically, it assessed the relevance of Islamic knowledge in professional practice, identified challenges in aligning professional responsibilities with Islamic teachings, and explored curriculum enhancements that may strengthen professional identity formation.Methods: A quantitative-descriptive research design was employed involving 50 graduates of the Bachelor of Arts in Islamic Studies program of Mindanao State University–Maguindanao from 2020 to 2025. Data were collected through a structured survey questionnaire and analyzed using frequency, percentage, and weighted mean.Results: The results show that by encouraging accountability, honesty, moral behavior, and wise decision-making, Islamic Studies education greatly influenced graduates' professional identities. Despite obstacles including work obligations, a lack of institutional support, and time limits, participants thought Islamic knowledge was very relevant to workplace ethics and communication. They suggested career-oriented learning, ethics-focused training, and ongoing professional development.Conclusion: Islamic Studies education significantly contributes to the formation of professional identity among Muslim graduates by fostering ethical values, professional responsibility, and faith-based decision-making. Strengthening practical and career-oriented components of the curriculum may further enhance graduates’ professional development and workplace relevance.
