Aims The Bulletin of Islamic Research aims to advance Religious Studies through an interdisciplinary investigation of the role of religion particularly Islam in addressing contemporary global challenges, including globalization, social transformation, and sustainability. It examines the influence of religious beliefs, practices, and institutions on culture, education, psychology, social behavior, governance, economics, digital technology, and environmental ethics, with particular attention to human well-being, ethical development, social cohesion, and societal resilience across diverse cultural contexts. Scope The scope of this Bulletin, situated within Religious Studies and the Social Sciences, covers the dynamics of religiosity and Islamic thought in response to globalization and modernity; the interrelationships between history, religion, culture, governance, and economic systems; the role of digital media and communication technologies in shaping religious identity and social interaction among Muslim communities; educational, psychological, and behavioral dimensions of religion related to mental health and well-being; the contribution of Islamic values to moral education, character formation, and social ethics; Islamic perspectives on environmental sustainability and ecological responsibility; and consumer and social behavior analyzed through qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method research designs in cross-cultural and comparative settings.

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.
