Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyse the contribution of social capital of hafidzpreneur students to sustainable sharia economic governance through the perspective of Maqāṣid al-Sharīʻah to support the achievement of SDG 8. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework integrates social capital theory (beliefs, networks, and norms) with Maqāṣid al-Sharīʻah as the foundation of sustainable and SDG-oriented sharia economic governance 8. Literature review: Literature review was conducted through an integrative literature review of reputable national and international publications was conducted, including six articles from Profetika: Journal of Islamic Studies, on Islamic social capital, hafidzpreneur, Maqāṣid al-Sharīʻah, and SDG 8. Methods: The research uses a qualitative approach through integrative literature review, conceptual analysis, and content analysis of 324 Indonesian media news articles analysed by thematic synthesis. Results: The results of the study show that hafidzpreneur students form a distinctive Islamic social capital, where the spiritual discipline of tahfidz becomes the foundation for beliefs, socio-religious networks, and ethical norms in entrepreneurial activities. The social capital functions as a governance mechanism that reduces transaction costs, strengthens sharia compliance, and encourages ethical economic behaviour. Content analysis also showed that ḥifẓ al-māl was the most dominant goal of maqāṣid (69%), while 31% of the data simultaneously associated maqāṣid with SDG 8 indicators. Implications: The research findings serve as the basis for the development of tahfidz-based entrepreneurship policies and programs to strengthen sustainable sharia economic governance and support the implementation of SDG 8. Novelty: The novelty of the research lies in the integration of the concept of hafidzpreneur, social capital theory, and Maqāṣid al-Sharīʻah in building a sustainable sharia economic governance model oriented towards SDG 8.

Abstract

Objective: This study examines the concept of amanah (human responsibility) in the interpretation of QS. Al-Baqarah verse 30 and explores its relevance as a normative framework for contemporary da'wah in addressing the ethical and social challenges of the digital era. Theoretical framework: The study is grounded in thematic Qur'anic exegesis (tafsīr maudū‘ī), the Qur'anic concept of human responsibility, Islamic ethics, and contemporary da'wah theory, positioning amanah as a comprehensive paradigm integrating theological, ethical, social, and ecological dimensions. Literature review: Previous studies have discussed ‘khilāfah’, Islamic ethics, and contemporary da'wah separately. However, limited research has reconstructed ‘amanah’ in QS. Al-Baqarah verse 30 as an integrated interpretive framework for responding to digital transformation, misinformation, moral decline, social polarization, and environmental responsibility. This study addresses that gap by connecting Qur'anic interpretation with contemporary da'wah discourse. Method: This research employs a qualitative library research design using a thematic Qur'anic exegesis approach. Data were collected from classical and contemporary Qur'anic commentaries and relevant scholarly literature, then analyzed through qualitative content analysis. Results: The findings reveal that ‘amanah’ in QS. Al-Baqarah verse 30 comprises three interrelated dimensions: responsibility toward Allah through obedience and accountability, responsibility toward fellow human beings through justice and social welfare, and responsibility toward the environment through sustainable stewardship. These dimensions provide a normative foundation for transformative da'wah that promotes ethical communication, counters misinformation and intolerance, strengthens digital integrity, and fosters moral awareness and social responsibility. Consequently, da'wah should be understood not merely as the transmission of religious teachings but as a process of ethical and civilizational transformation. Implications: The study offers a conceptual framework for strengthening contemporary da'wah through Qur'anic values while contributing to interdisciplinary discussions on Islamic communication and digital ethics. Novelty: This study reconstructs ‘amanah’ in QS. Al-Baqarah verse 30 as an integrated paradigm that links Qur'anic exegesis with contemporary da'wah, thereby enriching both Qur'anic studies and the theoretical development of da'wah in the digital age..

Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the intellectual trends in contemporary Qur'anic exegesis and examines their alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Theoretical framework: Grounded in the theoretical framework of Islamic ethics, particularly the concepts of adl (justice), khilafah (stewardship), maslahah (public welfare), and environmental responsibility, the research explores how Qur'anic interpretation contributes to contemporary sustainability discourse. Literature review: Previous studies have discussed Qur'anic perspectives on environmental ethics, social justice, and sustainable development separately; however, comprehensive bibliometric evidence demonstrating the evolution, knowledge structure, and scholarly networks connecting Qur'anic exegesis with the SDGs remains limited. Methods: To address this gap, this study employs a bibliometric approach using 356 Scopus-indexed publications published between 2019 and 2026. Data were analyzed through citation analysis, co-authorship networks, keyword co-occurrence mapping, and thematic visualization using bibliometric software to identify influential authors, institutions, countries, research clusters, and emerging themes. Results: The findings reveal a significant increase in publications linking Qur'anic exegesis with sustainability issues, particularly environmental stewardship, climate responsibility, social justice, ethical governance, and equitable resource management. Nevertheless, collaboration among scholars remains relatively fragmented, and the integration of classical and contemporary Qur'anic interpretations with SDG frameworks is still underdeveloped. These findings indicate considerable opportunities for interdisciplinary research bridging Islamic studies, sustainability science, and public policy. Implications: The study implies that policymakers, educators, religious institutions, and Muslim communities can utilize Qur'anic ethical principles to strengthen sustainable development initiatives and promote socially inclusive environmental governance. The originality of this research lies in providing the first comprehensive bibliometric mapping specifically examining the convergence between contemporary Qur'anic exegesis and the SDGs. Novelty: Its novelty resides in integrating bibliometric techniques with Islamic theological analysis to reveal emerging research patterns, collaboration networks, thematic evolution, and practical implications for advancing faith-based contributions to global sustainable development agendas.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the implementation of the School Security Patrol (PKS: Patroli Keamanan Sekolah) as a means of strengthening character education, the character values developed through its activities, and the supporting and inhibiting factors at Muhammadiyah Sapen Elementary School in Yogyakarta. Theoretical framework: This study draws on Lickona’s character education theory and Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory to understand PKS as an experience-based co-curricular activity that facilitates the internalization and practice of character values. Literature review: Previous studies have shown that PKS contributes to the development of discipline, responsibility, social awareness, cooperation, and leadership. However, existing research has primarily focused on the secondary school level. Studies examining PKS in Islamic elementary schools and its contribution to the eight dimensions of the Graduate Profile and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) remain limited. Methods: This study employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through non-participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the school principal, PKS coordinator, teachers, and purposively selected fourth- and fifth-grade students. Data were analyzed thematically using NVivo and validated through source and method triangulation. Results: The findings show that PKS functions not only to support school safety and order but also as a contextual and experiential platform for character education. PKS activities strengthen discipline, responsibility, cooperation, leadership, social awareness, independence, communication, and faith-related values, contributing to all eight dimensions of the Graduate Profile. Implementation is supported by school culture, parental and community support, teacher commitment, and police collaboration, while challenges include student numbers, attendance, coordination, and time management. PKS is also relevant to SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions). Implications: PKS can serve as an experiential co-curricular model for strengthening character and Graduate Profile development while supporting SDG 4 and SDG 16. Novelty: This study highlights PKS in an Islamic elementary school as an integrated model of character education, Graduate Profile development, and SDG-oriented learning.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine the role of narrative pedagogy in repositioning Islamic stories as reflective and aesthetic literary texts within Islamic Religious Education (IRE) and analyze their alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions). Theoretical framework: The study relies on narrative pedagogy, literary appreciation theories, and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) frameworks to conceptualize religious narratives as tools for aesthetic, ethical, and socio-emotional engagement. Literature review: Previous scholarship highlights that traditional religious instruction often relies on cognitive rote learning, whereas narrative approaches transform abstract theological doctrines into contextualized, lived human experiences. Method: A qualitative literature-based analysis was employed to examine how narrative structures, aesthetic language, and symbolic meanings foster reflective religious understanding. Results: The results indicate that narrative elements—including plot, character development, conflict, and symbolism—enhance students' cognitive, emotional, and imaginative engagement, thereby encouraging critical interpretation, ethical reflection, and dialogical learning. Furthermore, aesthetic dimensions empower students to internalize core values of justice, peace, empathy, and social responsibility, directly supporting the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Implications: This research provides strategic pedagogical guidelines for IRE educators and curriculum designers to integrate literary-based narratives, cultivating inclusive, values-driven, and globally conscious student competencies. Novelty: The study offers an innovative conceptual synthesis by bridging Islamic narrative pedagogy, literary appreciation, and global sustainability goals, presenting a novel framework for modern religious education.

Abstract

Objectives: This study was to measure the level of students' perception of Islamic education and parental concern, and to analyze the influence of these two variables on bullying prevention efforts in grade XII students of SMA Negeri 2 Wonogiri. Theoretical framework: This research is based on the concept of Islamic education as a shaping of morals and social behavior, as well as the theory of the role of parents that emphasizes the importance of family attention in shaping character and preventing negative behavior in children. Literature review: This study is supported by KPAI data, which shows high cases of bullying in schools, as well as previous research that states that family factors and religious values influence the social behavior of adolescents. Methods: This study used a quantitative approach with a questionnaire to 204 students, then analyzed using the F test to see the simultaneous effect and the determination coefficient (R²) test to determine the magnitude of the contribution of the variable. Results: The study shows that Islamic education and parental care simultaneously have a significant effect on bullying prevention, as evidenced by the calculated F value of 11.455, which is greater than the F of table 3.04. In addition, the determination coefficient value of 0.559 showed that the two variables contributed 55.9% to the prevention of bullying in students. Implications: This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening religious education in schools and parental involvement at home as an effort to prevent bullying in students. Novelty: this study lies in the combination of Islamic education factors and parental concern in one analytical model to explain bullying prevention in high school students.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to comprehensively analyze the strategy of integrating religious moderation values in the learning of Akidah Akhlak and examine its impact on the formation of the character of students who are tolerant, inclusive, and with noble morals in the context of a pluralistic society in Indonesia. Theoretical framework: This study uses the concept of religious moderation, which includes tolerance, justice, balance, and national commitment associated with character education, as well as the Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDG 4 and SDG 16. Literature review: A literature review discusses the importance of religious moderation, the phenomenon of intolerance in the younger generation, and the role of moral faith education in shaping moderate character. Methods: The method used is a qualitative literature study with thematic content analysis supported by secondary quantitative data from national surveys. Results: The results of the study show that the systematic integration of religious moderation values through a multidimensional pedagogical approach has significant potential in improving the moderate and inclusive attitude of students. The main supporting factors include teacher professionalism, institutional commitment, and a conducive school environment, while the main challenges stem from the influence of external discourse outside the school and limited resources. Implications: This study emphasizes the importance of integrating religious moderation to prevent radicalism and strengthen social cohesion. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in a comprehensive data-based pedagogical approach to learning Akidah Akhlak.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to compare the 2013 Curriculum and the Merdeka Curriculum in terms of their integration of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) values, with particular attention to the balance between cognitive development and character education. Theoretical framework: The study is grounded in the theoretical perspective that sustainable education requires the integration of cognitive competencies, ethical values, and transformative character to prepare learners for the social, economic, and environmental challenges of the twenty-first century. Literature review: Previous studies have highlighted the importance of curriculum reform for promoting sustainable development; however, most have examined either the 2013 Curriculum or the Merdeka Curriculum independently, leaving limited comparative evidence regarding their respective contributions to SDGs-oriented education. Method: This research employs a qualitative content analysis using official curriculum documents as the primary data source. The analysis focuses on curriculum objectives, learning outcomes, competency standards, and character development frameworks related to SDGs principles. Results: The findings reveal that the 2013 Curriculum places greater emphasis on cognitive achievement through structured competency-based learning and measurable academic outcomes. In contrast, the Merdeka Curriculum prioritizes character formation through the Projek Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila (P5), encouraging critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, responsibility, and sustainability awareness that closely align with the principles of the SDGs. Nevertheless, each curriculum demonstrates limitations when implemented independently. The 2013 Curriculum provides less flexibility for contextual and character-oriented learning, whereas the Merdeka Curriculum requires stronger academic integration to ensure balanced cognitive achievement. Therefore, a comprehensive integration of the cognitive strengths of the 2013 Curriculum with the character-oriented approach of the Merdeka Curriculum is recommended to develop graduates who are academically competent, ethically responsible, and capable of contributing to sustainable development. Implications: The study implies that future curriculum policies should harmonize academic excellence and character education as complementary dimensions of SDGs implementation. Novelty: Its novelty lies in presenting a systematic comparative framework that explicitly connects Indonesia's two national curricula with SDGs values through the dual perspectives of cognitive competence and character development.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the determinants of short-term and long-term profitability of Bank Muamalat Indonesia for the period 2016–2024. The variables tested included total assets, liabilities, equity, third-party funds, and zakat. Theoretical framework: The research is based on the theory of Islamic banking intermediation and bank profitability combined with Islamic financial principles, such as mudharabah, wadiah, zakat, and risk-sharing. This framework describes the relationship between sharia fund management and profitability performance. Literature review:  The literature shows that third-party assets, liabilities, capital, and funds are important factors that affect the profitability of Islamic banks. However, studies that integrate Islamic social aspects, such as zakat, are still relatively limited. Methods: The study used a quantitative method with the ARDL-ECM model to analyze the short-term and long-term relationships between variables. The data used covers the period 2016–2024 at Bank Muamalat Indonesia. Results: The results show that total assets have a significant positive effect on profitability, while liabilities have a significant negative effect. Equities and deposits do not have a significant long-term influence on the profitability of banks. Implications: These findings emphasize the importance of strengthening asset quality, sharia funding innovation, and regulatory reform to improve the profitability and resilience of Islamic banks. In addition, the results of the study support the contribution of Islamic banking to the achievement of the SDGs. Novelty: This study integrates sharia principles, such as zakat and risk-sharing, into profitability analysis using the ARDL-ECM approach. In addition, this study links the profitability of Islamic banks to institutional resilience and the SDGs.
