Abstract

The management and distribution of zakat to the asnaf muallaf (new converts to Islam) represent a critical aspect of social finance. Although discussions regarding muallaf have been ongoing for centuries, there exist diverse interpretations of the asnaf muallaf category among the four major Islamic schools of thought. Various interpretations have been proposed concerning the definition of muallaf and the necessity of continuing zakat distribution to this group. This study aims to explore the concept and management model of muallaf within the Islamic Council of Sarawak (Majlis Islam Sarawak or MIS). Employing a qualitative approach, the study utilizes document analysis and interviews to gather information. The findings reveal that zakat distribution in Sarawak is predominantly focused on muallaf who have recently embraced Islam. However, individuals inclined toward Islam, who are also included in the MIS's interpretation, appear to receive less explicit attention in the implementation of zakat distribution. This study is expected to contribute to the enhancement of asnaf muallaf management in Sarawak and serve as a reference for zakat institutions and religious bodies in improving zakat administration for the asnaf muallaf group.

Abstract

This study addresses the absence of structured Shariah audit mechanisms in zakat institutions, particularly in the operational aspects of zakat distribution. Hence, the objective of the study is to develop Shariah audit criteria grounded in authoritative references such as fatwas, governance manuals, and Islamic finance standards. Adopting a qualitative document analysis approach guided by the Logical Framework model, this study systematically translates key Shariah principles into practical audit criteria. The findings aim to enhance Shariah assurance, improve institutional accountability, and support more consistent zakat governance practices across decentralized systems. This study presents the development of Shariah audit criteria for zakat distribution by integrating documentary sources such as fatwas, governance standards, and institutional SOPs with practical operational considerations. Key findings include a structured set of audit criteria rooted in principles such as comprehensiveness, prioritisation, and data completeness, which were translated into actionable audit tools. The study also identifies critical enablers such as trained personnel, dedicated Shariah committees, and supportive digital systems that are necessary for effective Shariah auditing. Discussions highlight three key governance gaps: the lack of structured Shariah oversight mechanisms, limited legal institutionalisation of Shariah functions, and insufficient stakeholder competency. The study calls for the establishment of a formal Shariah governance framework, aligned with national enactments and supported by a Shariah Audit Competency Framework. Overall, this research contributes to institutionalising Shariah auditing as both a compliance and strategic governance tool in zakat management, fostering transparency, accountability, and public trust in line with the maqasid of zakat.

Abstract

This study examines selected chapters of Bayan Wujub Al-Hijra `ala’l-`Ibad of Shaykh Uthman Bn Fuduye and its teachings to the contemporary Muslim Ummah. The book articulates important religious and social principles on the necessity of Hijra (migration) in the pursuit of an equitable Islamic society. This study summarizes some important chapters in the book, describing their teachings and relevance to the contemporary Muslim Ummah. Through a critical reading of Shaykh Uthman Bn Fuduye discussions in Bayan Wujub Al-Hijra particularly the last five chapters, this study examines how the concept of Hijra its history and spiritual relevance in the life of the Ummah as it rejuvenate social justice and communal integrity during modern times. It also examines the applicability of these teachings to modern challenges that face Muslim societies, including matters of identity, migration, and socio-political engagement. By situating Shaykh Uthman Bn Fuduye discourses in the present socio-political realities, this paper demonstrates the enduring currency of his call for social reform and the creation of a unified Muslim identity. The study shows that Bayan Wujub Al-Hijra can yield timely lessons for Muslims today who want to address the issues of modernity without betraying their religious creed. Finally, this study seeks to enhance a greater understanding of the interplays among classical Islamic thought and contemporary realities to encourage the revival of the spiritual and communal traits reflected in Shaykh Uthman Ibn Fuduye's work.

Abstract

The study evaluated the Impact of Guidance and Counselling Services in Tertiary Institutions in Borno State, Nigeria. The study used survey design. One objective was formulated and one research question was raised. The population of the study consisted of all tertiary institutions in Borno State. However, the study was delimited to 4 tertiary institutions with established guidance and counselling centers. The total number of students and counsellors used in the study was 1,237 students and 4 counsellors selected through simple random and purposive sampling techniques. The instrument used was self-developed questionnaire titled the Impact of Guidance and Counselling Services (IGCSQ) consisted of 12-items instrument. The reliability co-efficient of the instrument was determined after pilot testing was conducted and the index was found to be 0.80 using Cronbach’s alpha. One hypothesis tested at 0.05, level of significance guided the study. The hypothesis revealed that there was no significant difference on the impact of Guidance and counselling services in all the tertiary institutions. Frequencies, percentages, mean and standard deviation were employed to answer the research questions. The result showed that the impact of guidance and counselling on orientation, information, counselling, planning placement and follow-up services have high impact.

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.
