Abstract

This study explores the philosophical foundations of the Islamic view of business among Muslim entrepreneurs operating in rural South African communities. The research addresses the problem of understanding why Muslim business owners prioritize trust, hope, and humanitarian service above mere profit-making, despite operating in socio-economically disadvantaged environments. Using a qualitative approach supported by semi-structured interviews with ten purposively selected participants five Muslim shop owners and five community members the study applies thematic analysis guided by critical social theory. The analysis reveals that Islamic financial philosophy shapes a business culture rooted in care, kindness, fairness, and community upliftment. Muslim entrepreneurs perceive business not only as an economic activity but also as a religious duty grounded in serving humanity, maintaining ethical conduct, and seeking divine pleasure. Findings show that these philosophical commitments strengthen social trust, promote communal harmony, and help alleviate local poverty. The study concludes that Islamic financial philosophy offers a transformative alternative to profit-driven business models and has the potential to support sustainable community development. Limitations include restricted sample size and reliance on interview data, suggesting that future research should incorporate broader case studies and comparative analyses across regions.

Abstract

KH Muhammad Zaini Abdul Ghani Al-Banjari, known as Abah Guru Sekumpul (1942–2005), was a highly revered Islamic scholar and spiritual figure in South Kalimantan. As the eighth descendant of Maulana Syekh Muhammad Arsyad Al-Banjari, he was known for his piety, humility, generosity, and dedication to religious teachings. This study aims to explore the spiritual legacy and character of Abah Guru Sekumpul, focusing on his personal virtues, spiritual practices, and reported karomah (miracles). A qualitative library research method was employed, involving the collection and analysis of primary and secondary sources. Findings highlight his emphasis on sincerity in seeking knowledge, the spiritual benefits of devotional practices, and his unique connection with spiritual figures, both in life and after death. One remarkable incident occurred when, despite severe illness, he appeared healthy to lead a religious gathering—demonstrating what is believed to be a manifestation of karomah. The study concludes that Abah Guru Sekumpul's influence endures through his teachings and the reverence of his followers, exemplifying the traits of a waliyullah (saint).

Abstract

This study analyzes the assimilation of Javanese art and tradition in the da'wah of Sunan Kalijaga and its contribution to the formation of Javanese Islamic culture. The research addresses the problem of understanding how Islamic teachings were accepted in a predominantly Hindu–Buddhist Javanese society without cultural resistance. Using a qualitative descriptive method supported by textual and historical analysis, this study examines how Sunan Kalijaga employed wayang kulit, gamelan, symbolic aesthetics, and macapat poetry as media of cultural adaptation. The findings show that Sunan Kalijaga did not reject existing traditions, but reinterpreted and Islamized them by embedding moral teachings, monotheistic concepts, and ethical values within familiar cultural forms. This approach strengthened social acceptance, minimized cultural disruption, and enabled Islam to integrate harmoniously with Javanese identity. The assimilation of arts and traditions not only facilitated da'wah but also shaped a distinctive Javanese Islamic culture characterized by refinement, symbolism, and spiritual depth. The study concludes that Sunan Kalijaga’s method represents an effective cultural strategy for religious propagation, demonstrating that Islam can coexist with local traditions without losing its essential principles. Further research is recommended to explore comparative models of cultural da'wah in other regions

Abstract

Israel's pre-emptive security measures, such as the destruction of Iranian nuclear facilities, Iran's nuclear ambitions, and its support for proxy groups like Hezbollah, have all contributed to the escalation of tensions over time. Both international security and regional stability have been significantly impacted by this conflict. This study aims to analyse how domestic political factors and systemic pressures influence foreign policy, especially in high-stakes disputes like Iran-Israel. It employs neoclassical realism and social constructivism theories to examine this complex issue, including the role of identity, power and ideology in it with qualitative exploratory research type by obtaining the data through literature, documents as well as focus group discussions. This study argues that the Iran-Israel rivalry is based on the interaction of ideational and material factors. Social constructivism sheds light on how ideological narratives fuel hostilities, while neoclassical realism reveals the systemic and domestic drivers of each state’s actions. Together, these viewpoints provide a comprehensive understanding of the conflict.

Abstract

Islam views peace and harmony as basic tools for the achievement of any developmental goals be it mundane or spiritual and, conversely, sees chaos as an enemy to progress. Hence, it condemned crises in stronger terms and encouraged peaceful coexistence. As such, peaceful co-existence was one of the top priorities of Prophet Muhammad, Peace be Upon Him (PBUH) before he becomes a Prophet, during the early period of his call in Makkah and throughout his life in Madinah. As such, one of the major factors that led to the achievement of sustainable development in the fields of economy, education, governance, environment and social welfare in the nascent state of Madinah was the peaceful co-existence among diverse religious followers and tribes under the leadership of Prophet Muhammad PBUH. The Muslim-dominated region of Northern Nigeria has been and is still experiencing a series of ethno-religious conflicts and bitterest relations between Christians and Muslims. This resulted in mass destruction of lives and properties, hatred, mistrust, lack of cooperation and recurrence conflicts between the two faithful with adverse repercussions of insecurity, underdevelopment and stagnation in the fields of economy, education, and social life. This paper is an attempt to showcase the indispensability of peaceful co-existence to the actualization of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Northern Nigeria, taking the lifestyle of Prophet Muhammad PBUH as a model. The researcher used analytical method by using secondary data in conducting the research. The findings of the paper revealed the necessity of peaceful co-existence between Muslims and Christians, and among the diverse ethnic groups for the attainment of SDGs in the region. It, therefore, recommends the application of Prophet Muhammad’s PBUH proactive measures of promoting peaceful coexistence for the restoration of peace and harmony in the region.

Abstract

This article discusses how the rivalry between Berke and Hulagu Khan in 1260-1266 reflects the complex dynamics of power, religion and diplomacy in the Mongol Empire. Berke Khan, the Muslim leader of the Golden Horde, challenged Hulagu Khan's superiority over the Ilkhan supported by Mongu Khan in Karakuram. The rivalry between the two not only became a battle between Mongol factions, but also marked a major geopolitical shift with Islam as one of the unifying elements within Islamic Mongol rule. Through clever diplomacy, Berke Khan forged a strategic alliance with the Egyptian Mamluks to restain Hulagu's military expeditions into Egypt, especially in the context of the threat to Islamic civilization after the destruction of Baghdad. This study explores how religious identity, diplomatic strategy and political power interacted to shape the historical landscape. It analyzes the long-term impact of the conflict on the stability of the Central Asian region, the Middle East, and the political transformation of the Mongol Empire. Using a historical and geopolitical approach, the study argues that Berke's rivalry with Hulagu Khan became an important episode in history to protect Islamic civilization from attempts at total destruction by the Mongols.

Abstract

This study examines the rapid collapse of the Syrian regime through the theoretical lens of Ibn Khaldun's concept of 'asabiyyah (group solidarity) and state cycles. It investigates how a seemingly stable authoritarian structure experienced sudden systemic failure within a twelve-day period. By synthesizing classical Islamic political theory with contemporary frameworks of state failure, this research provides novel insights into the mechanisms of state decay and rapid regime collapse. Through careful analysis of primary sources and theoretical frameworks from both classical Islamic and modern political theory, the study reveals that the regime's swift collapse followed patterns predicted by Ibn Khaldun's theory, particularly regarding the relationship between institutional sophistication and political vulnerability.

Abstract

This study examines the historical evolution and contemporary manifestations of slavery and human trafficking in the Muslim world by integrating historical analysis, Islamic legal interpretation, and modern human rights perspectives. The research addresses the central problem of the persistence of exploitative practices such as forced labor, child exploitation, and coercive religious or educational systems despite the ethical and legal principles within Islam that emphasize human dignity and freedom. Using a qualitative documentary method, the study analyzes pre-Islamic practices, early Islamic reforms, classical legal traditions, and current forms of exploitation in Muslim-majority societies. Findings reveal that slavery in pre-Islamic Arabia was deeply embedded within regional social structures, but Islam introduced significant moral and legal reforms that promoted humane treatment and encouraged emancipation. However, variations in cultural and political contexts across regions allowed certain practices to persist. In the modern era, new forms of human trafficking continue to challenge both legal frameworks and societal norms. The study concludes that Islamic teachings, when understood through their historical and ethical trajectory, provide a strong foundation for eliminating all forms of human exploitation. It also highlights the importance of contemporary legal interpretations that reject slavery entirely and call for greater alignment between Islamic principles and modern human rights standards.

Abstract

This article seeks to explain which position Islam has adopted amongst homogenous universal and non-homogenous relativist approaches and how it has managed to strike a balance between universalism and particularism. The author develops the hypothesis of “relative universality”, i.e. universality in the principles and relativity in the procedures and approaches, to explain that Islam has managed to establish a kind of dialectic between centripetal and centrifugal forces in the age of glocalization and to bring about harmony between universalism and particularism with a focus on alternative modernity. This article, based on the theoretical eclectic method, lays emphasis on the interaction between the context, structure, agent and processes at three levels of ontology, epistemology and methodology for the purpose of dialectic synthesis of contradictory concepts. The author concludes that the relative universality theory relies on overlapping values, extended rationality and organic linkage between content and form at the contextual level, on two-level legitimacy, pluralistic unity and multi-layered governance at the structural level, on interaction between sub-national, national and international actors at the agent level, and on general-particular intertwinement, tradition-modernity linkage and continuity despite change at the level of processes.

Abstract

To conduct a historical analysis of British imperial interests in Iraq—and the broader Middle East—following the First World War, it is essential to examine the political, military, economic, and diplomatic dimensions of British strategy, due to Britain’s key role in shaping post-World War One Middle East. Central to this study is the perspective of senior British officials and how their strategic decisions, shaped by territorial, local, and international considerations, culminated in the selection of Faisal as the future King of Iraq at the 1921 Cairo Conference. While historians have explored Britain’s post-war policies in Iraq, much of the existing scholarship on the selection of Iraq’s monarchy tends to rely on incomplete narratives, often influenced by ideological, ethnic, or political biases. This study seeks to offer a more objective understanding of British decision-making by making extensive use of official British archives and government documents. Through this approach, it aims to clarify the rationale behind Faisal's nomination and to present a balanced assessment of British attitudes toward his kingship. This study is structured into three parts: first, The 1920 Arab rebellion and the formation of the Iraqi provisional government; second, the British view on Iraq’s royal candidacy during the Cairo Conference; and finally, the reasoning behind Faisal’s nomination as King of Iraq.
