Abstract

The rapid expansion of cryptocurrency, particularly Bitcoin, has generated intense debate within Islamic jurisprudence regarding its status as a halal or haram asset in the emerging digital economy. Contemporary Muslim scholars disagree on whether Bitcoin should be classified as gharar (excessive uncertainty) due to its volatility and speculative trading, or considered a new form of ghanimah (legitimate gain) enabled by technological innovation. This debate highlights a fundamental jurisprudential tension between classical fiqh principles and modern financial technologies, raising questions about how Islamic law should adapt to non-physical, decentralized digital assets. This study aims to provide a rigorous fiqh-based analysis of Bitcoin’s legal status by examining its characteristics in light of major Islamic legal maxims, classical texts, and contemporary fatwas. The research evaluates whether Bitcoin satisfies the criteria of mal (property), meets conditions of lawful trade (mu‘?mal?t), and avoids elements of gharar, maysir, and riba. The objective is to offer an evidence-based juridical assessment that can guide Muslim investors, regulators, and Islamic financial institutions. A qualitative juridical method was employed, combining textual analysis of classical fiqh literature, comparative evaluation of contemporary scholarly positions, and examination of economic data related to Bitcoin’s usage, volatility, and transactional patterns. These materials were analyzed using usul al-fiqh principles and the maqasid al-sharia framework. The findings indicate that Bitcoin can be considered halal under specific regulatory and transactional conditions, particularly when used as a medium of exchange or store of value rather than for speculative trading. The study concludes that Bitcoin’s permissibility depends on mitigating gharar and avoiding maysir through responsible usage, transparency, and adherence to sharia-compliant financial ethics.

Abstract

The emergence of digital technologies, particularly financial technology (FinTech) and blockchain systems, has transformed the landscape of Islamic social finance, offering new opportunities to strengthen the effectiveness of zakat management in the era of Zakat 4.0. Persistent inefficiencies in conventional zakat collection and distribution—such as limited outreach, administrative delays, and lack of transparency—continue to hinder its potential for sustainable poverty alleviation. The digitalization of zakat institutions presents a promising pathway to enhance accountability, expand access, and ensure that zakat reaches eligible beneficiaries in a timely and equitable manner. This study aims to examine how FinTech and blockchain-based platforms contribute to optimizing zakat collection and distribution within contemporary socio-economic contexts. The research focuses on identifying the technological mechanisms that improve data accuracy, enhance donor trust, streamline verification processes, and support evidence-based targeting of mustahiq populations. The analysis also evaluates how digital platforms align with sharia principles while addressing operational challenges faced by zakat agencies. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining systematic literature review, analysis of secondary data from digital zakat platforms, and semi-structured interviews with practitioners from zakat institutions in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Quantitative indicators—such as collection growth, transaction transparency, and distribution efficiency—were triangulated with qualitative insights to produce a comprehensive understanding of digital transformation in zakat management. The findings show that FinTech and blockchain significantly increase zakat collection rates, improve traceability, and reduce administrative leakages through smart contracts and automated reporting. The results suggest that digital zakat systems strengthen institutional credibility and foster greater participation among donors, ultimately enhancing the poverty alleviation impact. The study concludes that Zakat 4.0 represents a transformative model capable of establishing a more transparent, inclusive, and data-driven zakat ecosystem.

Abstract

The growing demand for sustainable and reliable funding models in Islamic education has intensified interest in the digitalization of waqf as a contemporary social impact mechanism. Traditional waqf systems, while historically significant in supporting schools, madrasahs, and Islamic higher education, often struggle with management inefficiencies, limited transparency, and low donor engagement. Digital waqf platforms supported by FinTech and blockchain technologies offer new opportunities to revive waqf as a scalable and accountable funding model capable of sustaining educational institutions in the modern era. This study aims to develop a conceptual framework that explains how digital waqf can function as a sustainable social impact model to finance Islamic educational institutions. The research evaluates the technological, managerial, and ethical components that enable digital waqf to improve fundraising, enhance governance, and promote long-term financial resilience. It also investigates donor perceptions and platform characteristics that influence participation in digital waqf systems. A qualitative research design was employed using systematic literature review, analysis of digital waqf platforms, and semi-structured interviews with waqf administrators, Islamic education leaders, and technology developers. The data were analyzed thematically to identify operational features, governance structures, and technology-driven innovations that shape the effectiveness of digital waqf ecosystems. The findings indicate that digital waqf platforms significantly improve transparency, reduce administrative barriers, and expand donor outreach through automated reporting, smart contracts, and mobile-based contribution tools. These innovations enhance donor trust and strengthen institutional accountability. The study concludes that digital waqf has substantial potential to become a sustainable funding model for Islamic education when supported by strong governance, ethical compliance, and user-centered technological design.

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into Islamic education has introduced new opportunities for enhancing Qur’anic memorization (tahfiz) and Arabic language learning through personalized, adaptive technologies. Traditional madrasa models rely heavily on direct teacher–student interaction, repetition-based practice, and individualized correction, yet often face constraints related to limited teaching time, large class sizes, and diverse learner abilities. Recent advancements in AI-driven tutoring systems provide alternative pathways for supporting memorization accuracy, pronunciation refinement, and grammar acquisition, offering a scalable solution aligned with contemporary educational needs. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of personalized AI tutors in improving Qur’anic memorization performance and foundational Arabic language competency among madrasa students. The research investigates how AI-generated feedback, adaptive pacing, and real-time voice recognition contribute to learner progress, motivation, and error reduction within tahfiz and language-learning contexts. A quasi-experimental design was employed involving two groups: an experimental group using AI-powered tutoring applications and a control group engaging in conventional instructional methods. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests in Qur’anic memorization fluency, tajw?d accuracy, and basic Arabic vocabulary and grammar assessments. Additional qualitative data were gathered from student reflections and teacher interviews. The results demonstrate that students in the AI-assisted group achieved significantly higher gains in memorization retention, pronunciation accuracy, and vocabulary mastery compared to the control group. Learners also reported increased engagement, reduced anxiety, and enhanced autonomy in their study routines. The findings highlight the pedagogical value of AI tutors in complementing traditional madrasa teaching practices. The study concludes that AI-powered personalized tutoring systems can serve as effective supplementary tools for Qur’anic and Arabic instruction, provided that implementation aligns with ethical, pedagogical, and cultural considerations.

Abstract

Digital transformation in education has accelerated rapidly, presenting both opportunities and disruptions for traditional Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) that have long relied on face-to-face, text-centered, and teacher-led instructional traditions. The shift toward e-learning environments challenges established pedagogical norms, teacher authority, and communal learning structures that are central to pesantren identity. The growing pressure to integrate digital tools highlights the need to understand how pesantren negotiate pedagogical, technological, and cultural tensions during this transition. This study aims to analyze the extent of e-learning adoption, identify the key challenges faced by teachers and students, and examine how digital pedagogy aligns—or conflicts—with traditional Islamic educational practices. A mixed-methods design was employed, combining surveys from 220 teachers and students in selected pesantren with in-depth interviews involving kyai, ustadz, and senior students. Descriptive and inferential analyses were conducted to assess levels of digital readiness, perceived usefulness of e-learning tools, and barriers encountered during implementation, while thematic analysis captured cultural and pedagogical insights. The findings reveal low-to-moderate levels of digital adoption, constrained primarily by limited infrastructure, low digital literacy, and concerns about maintaining adab and discipline in online environments. Teachers reported significant challenges in designing digital instructional materials, while students experienced decreased engagement and difficulty adapting to self-directed learning. Despite these obstacles, some pesantren demonstrated innovative hybrid models that preserved traditional learning values while incorporating digital platforms. The study concludes that successful e-learning transformation requires culturally responsive digital pedagogy, targeted training for educators, and institutional strategies that harmonize technology with pesantren’s spiritual-communal ethos.

Abstract

Background. Religious diversity in contemporary societies, particularly in Indonesia, presents challenges related to intolerance, exclusivist religious interpretations, and identity-based tensions among students. Islamic educational institutions play a strategic role in addressing these challenges by internalizing Qur’anic values that promote tolerance and religious moderation. Purpose. This study aims to explore how Qur’anic values of tolerance derived from Al-Kafirun verse 6 and Al-Baqarah verse 256 are internalized in shaping students’ religious moderation at SMK Muhammadiyah Berau. Method. This research employed a qualitative case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom and school observations, and document analysis involving Islamic education teachers, school leaders, and students. The data were analysed using an interactive qualitative model consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Results. The findings reveal that the internalization of Qur’anic tolerance operates through the integration of institutional policies, pedagogical practices, and students’ lived experiences. Qur’anic values are embedded in school regulations, dialogical teaching approaches, character education programs, and daily social interactions. Supporting factors include strong school leadership, inclusive school culture, and teacher role modeling, while challenges arise from external influences such as social media and diverse family backgrounds. Conclusion. The study demonstrates that consistent and inclusive internalization of Qur’anic teachings effectively fosters students’ religious moderation without weakening Islamic identity. These findings highlight the importance of integrating Qur’anic values into school culture and pedagogy as a strategic approach to promoting social harmony in pluralistic educational contexts.
