Abstract

This study develops a Qur’an-informed strategic change management framework grounded in the prophetic narratives of Surah Ash-Shu‘arā’, addressing a critical gap in contemporary strategic management literature regarding the ethical foundations of long-term success and failure. Using qualitative thematic coding combined with network centrality analysis, the study maps key constructs—ethical vision, change enablers, stakeholder response, change duration, strategic outcomes, and moral accountability—and examines their structural relationships across prophetic cases. The findings reveal that strategic outcomes function as mediating consequences rather than direct results of authority or symbolic power, with moral accountability and stakeholder response emerging as central determinants of change trajectories. Network metrics demonstrate that resistance to ethical reform, when sustained over time, systematically precedes institutional collapse, while ethical legitimacy and principled leadership underpin strategic resilience. Prophetic figures operate as carriers of a universal ethical–strategic logic, emphasizing process integrity over individual charisma. By translating Qur’anic moral causality into a replicable strategic framework, this study contributes to ethical governance, institutional theory, and value-based leadership research. The findings offer actionable implications for leaders and policymakers, highlighting ethical accountability as a strategic asset and early moral warnings as critical risk signals. The study advances a novel interdisciplinary bridge between Qur’anic ethics and contemporary strategic change management theory.

Abstract

This study addresses a critical gap in contemporary Islamic finance literature concerning the normative and empirical assessment of speculative business practices. While prior research predominantly adopts a prohibitive approach by equating speculation with riba, gharar, and maysir, limited attention has been given to a balanced evaluation that systematically examines both the risks and the conditional benefits of speculative activities within a Shari’ah-compliant framework. Moreover, insufficient integration exists between classical fiqh al-muʿāmalāt principles and modern speculative instruments such as derivatives, foreign exchange trading, and cryptocurrencies. The objective of this research is to critically analyze speculative business from an Islamic perspective by assessing its compatibility with the objectives of Shari’ah (maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah), particularly the protection of wealth (ḥifẓ al-māl), and by identifying its socio-economic implications. Methodologically, the study employs a qualitative survey design based on systematic desk review, synthesizing classical jurisprudential sources, Qur’anic and Hadith foundations, and contemporary empirical financial studies. Analytical triangulation is applied to examine risk origin, ethical boundaries, and practical financial structures. The findings reveal that speculative business becomes impermissible when characterized by excessive uncertainty, gambling-like behavior, and detachment from real economic activity. However, rational risk-taking linked to tangible assets, transparent contracts, and equitable profit-and-loss sharing may yield legitimate economic benefits such as market liquidity, price discovery, innovation, and capital allocation. The study further proposes Shari’ah-compliant alternatives, including mudarabah, musharakah, and asset-backed investment mechanisms, as viable substitutes for high-risk speculative models. Internationally, the research contributes to the development of ethical financial governance frameworks, offering policy-relevant insights for emerging and developed economies seeking to enhance market stability, social justice, and sustainable economic growth within Islamic and global financial systems.

Abstract

This study explores the challenges faced by interfaith couples in Bangladesh, focusing on legal, cultural, and psychological barriers. It examines the impact of religious doctrines, legal frameworks, and societal norms on these unions. Drawing on socio-anthropological theories of religious pluralism and personal law, this research investigates how religious identity and legal structures intersect to shape the experiences of interfaith couples in Bangladesh. While interfaith marriage has been studied in various contexts, little attention has been paid to Bangladesh’s specific legal and religious landscape. Existing research points to significant legal barriers and social stigma, particularly for women, but lacks an integrated approach to the theological and institutional dimensions of these challenges. Using a qualitative research design, the study employs in-depth interviews, case studies, and document analysis. Participants included interfaith couples, religious scholars, and legal experts. Data were analyzed thematically to uncover key challenges and societal responses. The study finds that interfaith couples face doctrinal conflict, religious opposition, legal barriers, familial rejection, and societal exclusion. The Special Marriage Act (1872) is underutilized, and religious biases in legal systems exacerbate these challenges. Women are disproportionately affected, facing psychological distress, economic instability, and legal insecurity. The research highlights the need for a Uniform Civil Code and broader societal sensitization to promote legal protections, reduce stigma, and ensure equal rights for interfaith couples. This study offers a unique theological and sociological analysis of interfaith marriage in Bangladesh, contributing new insights into legal reform and social inclusion.

Abstract

Conventional management accounting systems have largely evolved within Western economic paradigms that emphasize profit maximization, efficiency, and shareholder primacy. While these models have enhanced organizational performance, they have also been widely criticized for their ethical limitations, short-term orientation, and neglect of broader social and moral responsibilities in business decision-making. In response to these concerns, the Islamization of Knowledge (IoK) offers an alternative intellectual framework that integrates Islamic epistemology and ethical principles into modern disciplines. This study adopts a narrative and integrative literature review approach to examine the Islamization of management accounting and its implications for business decision-making. Drawing on conceptual, theoretical, and empirical literature, the review synthesizes Islamic principles such as Tawhid (unity of God), Amanah (trust), Adl (justice), Maslahah (public interest), and Hisab (accountability) and analyzes their relevance to planning, control, performance measurement, and managerial decision processes. The findings reveal that Islamized management accounting redefines accounting information as a moral and ethical instrument that supports accountability beyond shareholders, promotes social justice, and emphasizes long-term societal welfare. The study contributes to accounting and business ethics literature by providing a conceptual foundation for Islamized management accounting and identifying key research gaps, including the absence of comprehensive frameworks and empirical evidence. Future research directions for developing practical Islamized management accounting models are also proposed.

Abstract

This study addresses a critical gap in the Indonesian inheritance system, where legal pluralism between the Civil Code and the Compilation of Islamic Law often creates ambiguity in the application of wills, leading to frequent inheritance disputes due to the absence or improper formulation of testamentary documents. The research aims to examine the urgency and legal function of wills as preventive instruments in minimizing inheritance conflicts from both civil and Islamic legal perspectives. This study employs a normative legal research method with statutory and conceptual approaches, relying on primary legal sources, doctrinal analysis, and qualitative interpretation. The findings reveal that a will possesses strong legal authority when it complies with formal and material legal requirements. However, its implementation is constrained by the doctrine of legitime portie in civil law and the one-third limitation in Islamic law, unless agreed otherwise by all heirs. Empirically, the absence of a written and authentic will often triggers disputes due to unclear asset distribution, conflicting interpretations, and weak evidentiary standing. The study emphasizes that wills drafted as notarial deeds provide stronger legal certainty and protection. The global implication of this research lies in offering a model for managing legal pluralism in inheritance systems, highlighting the role of formal legal instruments in dispute prevention, strengthening legal certainty, and promoting equitable wealth distribution across diverse legal traditions.
