Abstract

Islamic communication is a comprehensive and ethical framework rooted in the teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah, emphasizing truthfulness, wisdom, respect, and responsibility. It plays a crucial role in Da’wah (Islamic preaching), education, interfaith dialogue, media, and digital discourse. As communication methods evolve, Islamic communication must adapt to modern platforms while maintaining its ethical foundations. This study explores the theoretical foundations, methodologies, contemporary applications, and challenges of Islamic communication. It highlights how traditional approaches, such as sermons and direct interpersonal dialogue, have transitioned into digital spaces, including social media, online learning, and global media platforms. While these developments offer new opportunities for outreach and engagement, they also pose challenges such as misinformation, unethical media practices, Islamophobia, and the commercialization of religious content. The research underscores the importance of media literacy, responsible digital engagement, and scholarly participation in ensuring that Islamic communication remains authentic, impactful, and aligned with Islamic ethical values. Furthermore, it presents future directions for strengthening Islamic communication, including the integration of modern technology, youth engagement, and ethical guidelines for digital Da’wah. By examining both traditional and contemporary dimensions, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of Islamic communication and its role in fostering knowledge, unity, and positive social change in an increasingly interconnected world.

Abstract

This study examines the situation of science education in Bangladesh, analyzing the effects of government changes and concentrating on the difficulties the educational system faces. The study is to shed light on curriculum, teacher preparation, and resource availability to enhance science education in both urban and rural settings. Semi-structured interviews, policy analysis, and a review of the literature were all part of the qualitative research methodology. In addition to interviews with elementary and secondary science teachers throughout Bangladesh, information was obtained from pertinent educational policies, scholarly publications, and reports. Teachers' opinions on the difficulties of teaching science, the availability of resources, and the efficacy of governmental reforms were all examined in the interviews. Recurring themes and patterns were found using thematic analysis. Results show that access to science education has increased, while there are still issues, especially in rural areas. Inadequate teacher preparation, a lack of resources, and an antiquated curriculum that impedes inquiry-based learning are major problems. Regional inequities and gaps in teacher skills persist despite government initiatives to promote digital education and infrastructure. To raise the standard of science education, the report emphasizes the necessity of ongoing investments in infrastructure upgrades, curricular reforms, and teacher development. A small sample size that might not accurately represent all regional contexts and possible bias in self-reported data are among the limitations. With its useful suggestions for resolving the issues and enhancing science instruction in Bangladesh, this study provides insightful information for researchers, educators, and policymakers.

Abstract

By giving teachers the necessary tools, teacher training plays a critical role in raising the standard of education. Training programs that are accessible and structured are becoming more and more important as educational demands change. The usefulness of teacher training frameworks, the incorporation of contemporary educational approaches, and the difficulties in obtaining and executing these programs are all examined in this study. This study examines global trends in teacher training literature (2019–2024) using Scopus and bibliometric analysis. Thematic focuses, important contributors, and publication trends were evaluated by data analysis using R/R-Studio, VoSviewer, and Microsoft Excel. Despite a rise in research activity, the results indicate a decreasing annual growth rate of publications. With a focus on particular locations, the study identifies important journals, authors, organizations, and nations influencing research on teacher preparation. Results show that training that is well-organized and updated often improves student performance and instructional efficacy. Adaptability to different classrooms is enhanced by the integration of inclusive education and technology. Nonetheless, there are still gaps in our knowledge of the long-term effects of training and in guaranteeing fair access to professional growth. When creating evidence-based teacher training programs, policymakers, educational institutions, and training providers use these insights as a guide. Comparative evaluations of training approaches, long-term efficacy, and international cooperation tactics in teacher education should all be investigated in future studies. For education systems around the world to advance, teacher training programs must be strengthened.

Abstract

This research explores the foundational principles and ethical framework of Islamic economics as a distinct paradigm from conventional economic systems. Anchored in Islamic legal and moral philosophy, the study examines core concepts such as the prohibition of Riba (interest), the obligation of zakat (almsgiving), the avoidance of Gharar (excessive uncertainty), and the requirement for halal (permissible) transactions. Using a qualitative content analysis approach, the research draws on instructional material to identify how these principles are articulated and positioned within Islamic economic thought. The analysis reveals that Islamic economics is not merely a financial model but a value-based system emphasizing justice, social welfare, and divine accountability. Unlike conventional economics, which prioritizes utility maximization and market efficiency, Islamic economics centers on moral responsibility, risk-sharing, and ethical profit. The findings highlight the potential of Islamic economics to address contemporary issues such as inequality and unsustainable growth. This study contributes to the literature by offering a structured interpretation of Islamic economics grounded in scriptural sources and pedagogical content. Its originality lies in clarifying the ethical-spiritual foundation of Islamic economics and its relevance in modern discourse on sustainable and equitable economic systems.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the concept of ‘nafs’ in the Qur'an, both historically and theologically, and understand its relevance in modern life. The research uses a descriptive-analytical qualitative approach, with syntagmatic and paradigmatic analyses of relevant Qur'anic verses, as well as classical and contemporary literature studies. The results show that ‘nafs’ covers the physical, moral, and spiritual dimensions of human beings, with the main classifications: nafs al-ammārah (a soul inclined to evil), nafs al-lawwāmah (a self-deprecating soul), and nafs al-mutma'innah (a serene soul). The transformation of the meaning of ‘nafs’ from the pre-Qur'anic to the post-Qur'anic period reflects the human journey towards purification of the soul (tazkiyah) which contributes to the formation of individual character and social harmony. In the modern context, the understanding of ‘nafs’ has significant relevance in education, Islamic psychology and individual moral development. The research concludes that the purification of the soul is central to the Qur'anic worldview, making the ‘nafs’ the centre of moral and spiritual responsibility, which has a direct impact on the justice and balance of society.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the development and transformation of Islamic thought from its classical roots to contemporary expressions, with a focus on how it responds to modern global challenges such as democracy, human rights, gender equality, and environmental issues. The theoretical framework draws upon the works of classical and modern Islamic scholars, including Al-Ghazali, Ibn Rushd, Muhammad Abduh, and Fazlur Rahman, emphasizing the dynamic interplay between wahy (revelation) and aql (reason), as well as the concept of ijtihad (independent reasoning) and contextual interpretation. Using a qualitative, descriptive-analytical method, this study analyzes selected texts and scholarly contributions to trace the historical trajectory and current discourse within Islamic thought. The findings indicate that Islamic thought is not monolithic, but rather evolves in response to historical and social contexts. Contemporary Muslim thinkers increasingly emphasize the need for contextualization, ethical renewal, and reinterpretation of Islamic sources to remain relevant in the face of current challenges. These results highlight that modern Islamic thought holds significant potential to contribute to social justice, inclusive governance, and human development when rooted in both textual integrity and contextual awareness. The implication of this research is the need to revitalize Islamic education and scholarly engagement with a focus on critical, reformist, and ethical approaches. The originality of this study lies in its synthesis of classical and modern perspectives within a unified narrative that frames Islamic thought as a living, adaptable intellectual tradition capable of informing contemporary discourse in meaningful ways.
