Abstract

This study aims to enrich the academic discourse on the importance of adaptive legal reform in response to changing times, technological developments, and global and local socio-political dynamics, with a focus in the sustainable, fair, and peace-oriented prevention of religiously motivated terrorism in Asia. In this study, the method used is library research to review, inventory, and analyse scientific literature, legal documents, previous studies, reports from international institutions, and various written sources relevant to the theme of legal challenges in countering religious-based terrorism in Asia. The findings indicate that legal challenges in countering religion-based terrorism in Asia require the courage to break free from the dichotomy between security and freedom, while dismantling the illusion that law is merely a tool of the state. Instead, the complexity of Asian pluralism demands legal innovations that prioritise substantive justice, strengthen dialogue between identities, and dare to acknowledge that true harmony can only be achieved when the state, civil society, and the international community jointly formulate inclusive, reflective, and responsive counter-terrorism strategies that take into account local social dynamics and history because amid the evolving threat of terrorism, Asia's future as a peaceful and just region can only be achieved by placing humanity, equality, and diversity at the heart of every legal policy.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the process of ideological transfer, the instruments of soft power employed by Iran, and the responses of Indonesian society and the state to the presence of Shi'ite political narratives within a context of religious plurality. This study uses library research as its primary approach to deeply and critically analyse the dialectic of Shiite political thought in Iran and its transnational influence in Indonesia. The conclusions affirm that the contestation of ideology, identity, and civil rights within Muslim societies is not merely a matter of theology or political export, but rather a reflection of deeper struggles over how the state, religion, and citizens manage diversity and power in the global era. The Iranian model of al-Faqih al-Qadha'i (the rule of the jurist) has indeed shaken the old boundaries of Islamic authority and offered inspiration for resistance against injustice. Indonesia has instead triggered polarisation, stigmatisation, and even discrimination, reopening old wounds of fragile diversity. However, the experience of the Shia both as a marginalised minority and as part of a global narrative of resistance serves as a provocative reminder that Indonesia's strength as a nation does not lie in the stability of a single identity, but in its collective ability to transform differences into energy for dialogue, innovation, and reconciliation for a more just and civilised national future.

Abstract

This study aims to uncover the underlying narrative behind Sharia regulations, namely that regulations never stand alone but are always the result of a complex interplay between political, economic, religious, and social interests. Using library research and an interdisciplinary approach, this study makes a significant contribution to formulating a halal regulation model that can overcome the challenges of standard harmonisation, small business empowerment, consumer protection, and opening up opportunities for fairer regional and global cooperation. The results show that Sharia regulations in halal trade in Southeast Asia have created complex dynamics. On the one hand, these regulations offer significant potential for economic growth, innovation, and the strengthening of regional identity; on the other hand, they cause fragmentation, exclusion, and challenges to fairness in practice. To avoid being trapped in the logic of protectionism or narrow identity politics, countries in the region are required to reformulate the halal governance paradigm to be more collaborative, inclusive, and transparent, prioritising standard harmonisation and equal access for all business actors across religions and countries. Only through such constructive measures can Southeast Asia's halal industry develop into a global force that is not only economically beneficial but also promotes solidarity, justice, and exemplary social integration amid its diverse population.

Abstract

This study aims to challenge the dominant narrative, identify structural and cultural issues that are often hidden, and offer middle-ground solutions rooted in the values of social justice, collective empowerment, and innovation based on religion and technology in Indonesia. This study employs a library research approach, utilising academic literature, research reports, and policy documents to develop a comprehensive understanding of the impact of the digital economy on the economic empowerment of Muslim youth in Indonesia. The results show that the digital economy has brought about a quantum leap in the empowerment of Indonesian Muslim youth, accelerating their access to and participation in various business and innovation sectors, while encouraging the emergence of a new, more progressive and independent identity. However, behind these opportunities lie serious challenges in including a dilemma between digital business efficiency and consistency with Sharia principles, as well as the fragmentation of religious authority due to the dominance of influencer narratives in the digital space. Therefore, the economic empowerment of Muslim youth through digital technology will only be meaningful if it is accompanied by the strengthening of critical literacy, ethical integrity, and collaboration among stakeholders to ensure that every digital business innovation and practice not only pursues growth and virality, but truly supports justice, sustainability, and Sharia objectives as the primary foundation for the progress of the ummah in this era of transformation.

Abstract

This study aims to construct a conceptual model of how halal cuisine, as practised by members of the diaspora, functions as a mechanism that transforms religious norms and process standards into symbolic capital and cross-cultural trust by mapping the halal gastrodiplomacy value chain from upstream to downstream, linking regulations. This study utilises library research to conduct an in-depth analysis of various scientific sources, constructing a comprehensive and reflective theoretical framework on Indonesian diaspora halal cuisine as a form of cultural diplomacy. The results conclude that Indonesian diaspora halal cuisine is the most concrete and political form of cultural diplomacy, as it blends taste, values, and strategy into a new global language about Indonesia. It demonstrates how the diaspora kitchen has evolved into a space for negotiation between faith and the market, between authenticity and adaptation, and between spirituality and commodification. Halal cuisine is no longer merely a religious symbol, but has evolved into an instrument of soft power that connects identity politics, the creative economy, and national image. From the tension between values and exchange rates, the most honest diplomacy of taste is born, one that does not subjugate but invites the world to understand Indonesia through the aroma of halal, warmth, and humanity.

Abstract

Amidst the global ecological crisis, the strengthening of identity politics, and the increasing commodification of religion, local spirituality values form the basis for the management of religious ecotourism. The aim is to develop a conceptual framework that centres local spirituality in religious ecotourism management. This study is positioned as a conceptual study, employing an integrative literature review to compile and critique previous theories and findings systematically. The results conclude that truly sustainable religious ecotourism requires a radical shift from tourism that merely uses local spirituality to governance led by local spirituality as a source of values, direction, and ethical boundaries. The conflict between the sacredness of space and commercialisation can only be resolved if concepts such as Tri Hita Karana, Siri'na Pacce, Sedulur Papat Lima Pancer, and Huma Betang are operated as a framework for decision-making, and if religious rituals are transformed from routine ceremonies into vehicles for education and mobilisation of collective ecological awareness. Thus, religious ecotourism is no longer another face of a sanctified extractive industry, but a concrete path towards Indonesian eco-theology, a practice of faith that binds communities to protect the earth, honour their ancestors, and redefine the meaning of progress in the midst of an ecological crisis.

Abstract

When ecological crises reflect the failure of modern ethics, environmental fiqh emerges as a moral challenge to the way humans build social sustainability. The purpose of this study is to formulate and construct environmental fiqh as a framework for social sustainability in Asian Muslim communities by comprehensively explaining the relationship between fiqh norms, social practices, and ecological dynamics. This study uses a qualitative approach, combining a literature review with content analysis, and a normative-sociological approach to critically examine how environmental fiqh can be positioned as a framework for social sustainability that challenges the dominance of the secular-technocratic paradigm. The results indicate that environmental fiqh, when read critically and reconstructed progressively, has the transformative power to challenge the Asian development model based on ecological exploitation and social inequality, while offering a more equitable, long-term framework for social sustainability rooted in Islamic ethical values. By integrating environmental maqāṣid, intergenerational ethics, and revitalised fiqh concepts such as amānah, maṣlaḥah, and ḥisbah, environmental fiqh need not remain a moral discourse, but can become a normative instrument that influences public policy, corrects corporate behaviour, and strengthens civil society movements.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence challenges the authority of ethical ijtihād in Islam by introducing machines as a new subject of knowledge production, forcing Islamic scholarly traditions to re-examine the boundaries between reason, values, and moral responsibility. The purpose of this study is to identify the epistemological and ethical challenges posed by artificial intelligence, formulate relevant principles of ethical ijtihād, and offer an implementation model for academics, scholars, and technology developers to use as a reference. This study uses a qualitative approach with a conceptual-analytical study design enriched by a critical literature review and reflective-normative analysis. The results confirm that artificial intelligence has transformed from a mere technical device into an epistemic infrastructure that actively influences the way Islamic knowledge is produced, distributed, and interpreted, especially in the context of pluralistic and digitised Muslim societies in Asia. The analysis shows that algorithms, large language models, and digital platforms open essential opportunities to expand access and strengthen religious literacy, but at the same time raise ethical issues such in algorithmic bias, epistemic injustice, the commercialisation of religion, and a shift in spiritual authority. These findings confirm that ethical ijtihād needs to be reconstructed as a reflective framework capable of responding to technological dynamics while remaining grounded in maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, so that the relationship between humans, technology, and Islamic knowledge does not lose its orientation towards benefit and moral responsibility.

Abstract

Departing from the ecological crisis that reveals the paradox between ritual piety and massive environmental destruction, this study positions the Qur'anic narrative about nature not as a frozen normative text, but as a living ethical-political horizon with the potential to convert Indonesian Muslim religiosity into transformative ecological activism. This study uses a qualitative approach with an interpretive-critical design, combined with a multiple-case study strategy, to examine in depth how the Qur'anic narrative about nature is produced, articulated, and mobilised in ecological activism as a social practice rich in context, values, and power relations. The results indicate that the reconstruction of Qur'anic narratives about the cosmos, mīzān, fasād, raḥmah, and amānah of the caliphate encourages the conversion of religiosity from ritualistic to ecological religiosity, which positions nature as an ethical-political subject, while also providing a framing device for Muslim activists, Islamic boarding schools, and grassroots movements to build awareness, environmentally friendly practices, and advocacy for ecological justice in agrarian conflicts, climate crises, and resource management. These findings strengthen and expand the study of Islam and the environment by showing that Qur'anic narratives function as symbolic resources that frame awareness, build solidarity, and drive community-based ecological activism, especially when they engage creatively with local wisdom and respond to the dynamics of environmental politics in Indonesia.

Abstract

When images can replace truth, deepfakes test the limits of trust and authenticity in religion. This study aims to explain the relevance of Islamic ethical principles in assessing digital visual manipulation practices, filling a gap in knowledge in the study of Islamic-based technology ethics. This study uses a qualitative approach with a normative-analytical research design, combined with contextual analysis, an explore the meanings, values, and norms contained in Islamic texts and contemporary social practices. The results state that religious deepfakes create an ethical and knowledge crisis because they make it difficult to distinguish authentic fatwās from fake ones, undermine the foundations of Islamic authority in the form of sanad, integrity ('adālah), and clarity of sources, and violate ṣidq and amānah through tadlīs, ifk, and distortion of meaning that has widespread impacts (mafsadah ‘āmmah) such as radicalisation, sectarian conflict, and a decline in trust in religious institutions. The novelty of this synthesis positions the phenomenon as post-truth religiosity. It proposes a framework of digital authenticity fiqh that goes hand in hand with digital literacy as farḍ kifāyah, so that practical policy responses need to balance the protection of religion with justice and the right to expression through transparent source verification, accountable platform governance, and tabayyun education.
