Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to examine the structural process of spiritual leadership formation in The Qur'an through an analysis of Surah Al-Muzzammil (verses 1–7). The research addresses the methodological gap in previous Qur’anic leadership studies, which generally emphasize thematic interpretation without modeling the relational dynamics among spiritual constructs. The study proposes a sequential framework called the Prophetic Strategic Preparation Model (PSPM) to explain how spiritual discipline shapes prophetic leadership readiness. Design/methods/approach – The study employs Social Network Analysis (SNA) to operationalize Qur’anic concepts as interconnected relational nodes. A total of 44 thematic nodes were extracted from the selected verses and coded into an adjacency matrix. Centrality measures, including closeness, harmonic closeness, betweenness centrality, and eccentricity, were calculated using Gephi software, alongside modularity-based clustering analysis. Findings – The findings reveal a layered relational topology in which identity anchoring functions as the central structural hub, nocturnal discipline acts as a mediating mechanism, measured recitation serves as cognitive calibration, and responsibility emerges as a downstream construct dependent on prior spiritual preparation. Five major modular clusters were identified, representing spiritual discipline, cognitive structuring, responsibility internalization, optimization outcomes, and strategic temporal engagement. Research implications/limitations – The study is limited to Surah Al-Muzzammil (verses 1–7) and focuses exclusively on network-based structural interpretation. Future studies may expand the dataset to other Qur’anic passages and integrate qualitative exegetical comparisons. Originality/value – This research contributes methodologically by demonstrating the applicability of SNA in Qur’anic studies and theoretically by introducing PSPM as a systems-based framework for spiritual leadership formation grounded in Islamic scripture.

Abstract

Purpose – This study examines the challenges of addressing money laundering as a threat to national security in Nigeria and Senegal. The research was undertaken to assess how institutional weaknesses, regulatory fragmentation, and technological adaptation by criminal networks undermine the effectiveness of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) frameworks in both countries. Design/methods/approach – The study adopts a qualitative comparative research design based exclusively on secondary data. Data were collected from FATF, GIABA, UNODC, national legislation, institutional reports, and peer-reviewed literature. Institutional Theory served as the principal analytical framework, complemented by Systems Theory, while qualitative thematic and comparative analyses were employed to evaluate legal frameworks, institutional coordination, enforcement practices, and national security implications. Findings – The findings reveal that Nigeria records high volumes of AML investigations and Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs), yet conviction rates remain disproportionately low due to institutional fragmentation, political interference, and weak inter-agency coordination. Senegal demonstrates relatively stronger institutional coherence following FATF delisting, but enforcement effectiveness remains constrained by limited capacity and low detection rates. Both countries remain vulnerable to cash-based laundering systems, porous borders, and emerging digital and cryptocurrency channels. Research implications/limitations – The study relies solely on secondary data and focuses on two West African countries, which may limit the generalisability of findings to other regions. Variations in institutional reporting standards and data availability also affected comparative assessment. Originality/value – This study contributes to the literature by positioning money laundering as an institutional and systemic national security challenge rather than merely a financial crime issue. It provides comparative insights into AML governance in West Africa and highlights the need for institutional consolidation, technological upgrading, and regional cooperation.

Abstract

Purpose – This study examines how Shari’ah teachings within Islamic civilization provide a comprehensive framework for addressing societal crimes and contemporary social crises. The paper responds to the growing challenges of moral decline, economic inequality, governance failures, and environmental degradation by exploring the relevance of Islamic ethical principles such as tawḥīd (divine unity), ʿadl (justice), raḥmah (compassion), and khilāfah (stewardship). It argues that Islamic civilization offers a timeless model for promoting justice, social harmony, and sustainable development. Design/methods/approach – The study adopts a qualitative and analytical research methodology using a descriptive-analytical design. Data were collected through documentary analysis of the Qur’an, classical Islamic scholarship, and contemporary academic literature. Thematic and content analysis were employed to examine the application of Shari’ah teachings to issues relating to societal crimes, governance, welfare, and environmental sustainability. Findings – The findings reveal that Islamic civilization integrates spiritual, social, economic, and environmental dimensions into a unified moral framework. Shari’ah teachings promote accountability, moderation, equality, and consultation (shūrā) as safeguards against corruption and injustice. Economic institutions such as zakāt, ṣadaqah, and waqf support equitable wealth distribution and social welfare, while Qur’anic environmental ethics discourage wastefulness (isrāf) and corruption (fasād). The study further finds that Islamic principles provide preventive and transformative approaches to societal crimes through moral reform, social responsibility, and ethical governance. Research implications/limitations – The study is limited to qualitative analysis based on documentary sources and does not include empirical fieldwork. Its conclusions are primarily interpretive and focused on Islamic civilizational thought, which may limit broader comparative application. Originality/value – This study contributes to contemporary discourse by positioning Islamic civilization as a holistic framework for crisis management, ethical governance, crime prevention, and environmental stewardship. It highlights the enduring relevance of Shari’ah principles in addressing modern societal challenges while offering a value-based alternative to secular approaches to civilization and development.

Abstract

South Asian Muslim women's fiction remains relatively underrepresented in Anglophone literary scholarship, particularly writing produced in Indian regional languages. This article examines Banu Mushtaq’s Heart Lamp: Selected Stories (trans. Deepa Bhasthi, 2025) to analyze how feminine temporality is constructed and negotiated in South Asian Muslim women's everyday lives. Drawing on feminist temporality theory, particularly the work of Kristeva, Freeman, and Sharma, and feminist narratology, the study conducts close readings of selected stories from the collection. The analysis identifies four recurring temporal modes: waiting, bodily time, domestic repetition, and counter-temporal rupture, and examines how these are structured through narrative form. The article argues that Mushtaq's fiction constitutes a counter-temporal literary project that resists the linear time of patriarchal and national modernity by centering embodied, cyclical, and constrained temporalities. The study contributes to feminist literary scholarship on South Asian Muslim women's writing and demonstrates the relevance of feminist temporality frameworks for reading Kannada regional fiction.
