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

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.
