Abstract

This study examines the transformation of Islamic financial intermediation as a legal governance issue, focusing on regulatory coherence between sharia banking law and sustainable agricultural policy in Indonesia. It assesses the implementation of Salam–Istisnāʿ financing under Law Number 21 of 2008 on Sharia Banking and Law Number 41 of 2009 on Sustainable Food Agricultural Land (LP2B). Using a mixed socio-legal approach, the study analyses Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR) and financial literacy as determinants of community acceptance of Istisnāʿ–Salam financing, based on survey data from farmer groups in West Nusa Tenggara. The findings indicate that both FDR and financial literacy have a positive and significant effect on public acceptance of productive Islamic financing. However, the study also identifies structural regulatory misalignment across Islamic banking regulation, sustainable finance policy, sharia governance, prudential supervision, and agricultural land protection. To capture this condition, the research introduces a Regulatory Fragmentation Index (RFI) as an analytical framework to explain why productive sharia contracts remain underutilised despite formal legal recognition. The study concludes that the effectiveness of Islamic financial intermediation is determined primarily by the coherence of legal governance structures rather than contractual availability or market preference, and argues that regulatory harmonisation is essential to operationalise productive Islamic financing in support of sustainable agricultural development.

Abstract

Indonesia's rich natural resources and cultural traditions have given rise to a variety of traditional healing practices based on local wisdom passed down through generations. However, amidst the development of modern medicine, legal regulations regarding traditional health still face challenges in balancing medical effectiveness with the cultural, ethical, and religious values of the community. This study aims to examine the religious and ethical perspectives in the formation of traditional health laws in Indonesia and to formulate directions for the development of culturally sensitive regulations. The research method used is normative legal research with a legislative approach, and conceptual research using primary and secondary legal materials analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The results show that traditional health practices in Indonesia function not only as physical therapy but also have a spiritual dimension that strengthens the balance between body, soul, and faith. From an ethical perspective, legal regulations must guarantee patient protection, honesty, responsibility, and respect for the community's cultural autonomy. The integration of religious and ethical values in traditional health regulations has been shown to increase social legitimacy, legal compliance, and social justice. Therefore, the direction of the development of traditional health law in the future needs to be directed towards a legal system that is adaptive, inclusive, and rooted in the cultural and spiritual values of the Indonesian people, without neglecting the principles of medical safety and accountability.

Abstract

This study examines the role and application of circumstantial evidence in Indonesia’s criminal justice system and its alignment with restorative justice principles. Using a normative juridical approach with statutory, comparative, and conceptual methods, the research reveals that circumstantial evidence plays a vital role when direct proof is unavailable. However, its application often challenges substantive and restorative justice due to potential bias and unclear legal guidelines. The study highlights, first the critical importance of applying circumstantial evidence within Indonesia’s criminal justice system as a form of indicatory evidence that can strengthen law enforcement. Although circumstantial evidence holds significant potential in supporting the proof of criminal cases, its application must be conducted with utmost caution to ensure that the principles of restorative justice are upheld. The analysis demonstrates that, when applied correctly, circumstantial evidence can make a substantial contribution to achieving substantive justice, provided that evidentiary standards are reinforced, and its use is supported by other evidence that is causally linked and relevant to the offense in question. Second, the application of circumstantial evidence requires careful consideration due to the risks of bias and injustice, which may undermine the integrity of the judicial process. Aligning Indonesia’s criminal justice system more closely with restorative justice principles allows the system not only to focus on punishment but also on restoration and rehabilitation for all parties involved. While circumstantial evidence plays a pivotal role in proving criminal cases, its success in achieving substantive justice depends on prudent, careful, and principled application consistent with the core tenets of restorative justice.

Abstract

This research investigates Emotional Intelligence (EI) through the Prophetic methodology, focusing on its application in crisis management. Although EI is a modern psychological framework, its core pillars, specifically self-management and empathy are fundamentally rooted in the life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This study employs a descriptive-analytical approach to examine how the Prophet (PBUH) utilized these emotional competencies to navigate complex social and personal challenges. The study provides specific evidence of the Prophet’s (PBUH) emotional mastery. For instance, his self-management is exemplified in the "Year of Sorrow," where he maintained psychological resilience despite immense personal loss. Furthermore, his empathy is demonstrated in the "Conquest of Makkah," where he prioritized emotional reconciliation over retribution. These examples move beyond generalities, illustrating a sophisticated model of emotional leadership. A key focus of this research is the relevance of the Prophetic model to contemporary challenges. In an era marked by escalating psychological crises and social fragmentation, the Prophet’s (PBUH) approach offers a practical framework for conflict resolution and social cohesion. The findings suggest that integrating these spiritual-emotional strategies can significantly enhance modern interpersonal relationships. The study concludes that the Prophet (PBUH) serves as a timeless archetype for emotional intelligence, providing balanced solutions for managing the complexities of the modern world with wisdom and compassion.

Abstract

This study examines the epistemological and normative tensions between public truth and legal truth in the context of digital contracts in Indonesia. Public truth emerges from collective perceptions shaped by social media opinions, news narratives, and online justice movements. In contrast, legal truth derives from formal juridical processes that prioritize the validity of electronic signatures, contractual clauses, and evidentiary mechanisms in court. This divergence undermines the legitimacy of digital contracts, particularly when public discourse deems them unfair despite their legal validity. Existing research on digital contracts predominantly addresses legal validity and certainty, neglecting the epistemological dimensions of truth production and contestation. This study addresses that gap through normative juridical methods, employing qualitative analysis to interrogate disputes between contractual legality and online public opinion. The result reveal that tensions between public and legal truth erode public trust in the legal protections afforded by digital contracts. To mitigate this, regulatory transparency, enhanced digital law literacy, and responsive judicial dispute resolution mechanisms are essential. These insights underscore the urgent need to reconstruct the legitimacy of digital contracts in Indonesia, while offering a framework for comparative analysis in other jurisdictions facing analogous challenges.

Abstract

Globalization and the digital era have fundamentally transformed how education engages with diversity, intercultural dialogue and human rights. However, many Muslim-majority contexts continue to rely on secular paradigms that fragment knowledge, weaken spiritual foundations and limit contributions to global citizenship. This study employs a conceptual-analytical qualitative design to propose a Tawhidic model of education management as a policy framework that reclaims education’s divine purpose while addressing contemporary challenges of globalization and digital transformation. The analysis finds that positioning Tawhid as an epistemological core enables the ethical integration of GCED and digital transformation, providing a coherent normative framework for education policy in Muslim-majority contexts. The analysis reveals that by integrating Tawhidic principles with Global Citizenship Education (GCED), Islamic education can serve as a bridge between civilizational values and global human rights frameworks. The paper offers policymakers a pathway toward building inclusive, ethical and future-ready educational systems that advance sustainability in the digital age.

Abstract

This study traces the development of Islamic Family Law (IFL) literature from 1928 to 2025, focusing on its intersections with the literature on human rights. A title-only search on Scopus returned 299 records. Data cleaning and harmonization, as well as the generation of descriptive indicators, were performed in OpenRefine and BiblioMagika, while VOSviewer was used to construct the keyword co-occurrence and overlay maps. The review is organized around four questions, which concern publication trends and the influential journals for the discipline, the keywords and themes, and the intellectual networks formed through co-occurrence. The findings point to two growth spurts after 2000, a dual source ecology where regionally specific journals underpin volume while globally recognized law journals concentrate influence, and four stable intellectual clusters: marital constructions and gendered rights; doctrines and practices around polygamy and child marriage; the methods of codification that link state law and shariah; and plural legal systems in minority communities. The study provides a concise and reproducible baseline in IFL research and a human rights milieu for future scholarship.

Abstract

Idiomatic expressions related to animals, especially insults and offensive phrases, play a significant role in reflecting cultural attitudes and shaping interpersonal communication in any language. In English and Bahasa Malaysia, such expressions are frequently used but often misunderstood in cross-cultural contexts, leading to communication breakdowns. Despite their importance, there is limited comparative research exploring the linguistic features and cultural meanings of offensive idioms in these two languages. This study addresses this gap through a mixed-methods approach, compiling a corpus of animal-related idiomatic expressions and analysing their semantic nuances. Surveys and interviews with native speakers investigate how cultural contexts influence the interpretation and use of these expressions, while focus groups explore challenges bilingual speakers face in cross-cultural communication involving offensive idioms. The findings reveal linguistic patterns and cultural influences in the respondents’ understanding of English idiomatic expressions. This research underscores the need for culturally informed language education and enhanced intercultural competence to minimize misunderstandings. By filling a critical gap in comparative linguistics, the study offers valuable insights for language teaching, translation, and fostering effective communication in multicultural settings.

Abstract

This study examines Daya Cipta as a core pillar of Islamic innovation within the Malaysia Madani framework and its implications for reimagining human rights from an Islamic perspective. Grounded in the Qur’an, Sunnah and the intellectual tradition of ijtihad and maqasid syariah, Daya Cipta is conceptualised as a value-driven form of creativity that integrates ethical responsibility, spiritual consciousness and societal well-being. Using a qualitative approach based on textual analysis of policy documents, classical Islamic sources, and contemporary human rights literature, the findings reveal three key insights. First, Daya Cipta is not a novel policy construct but an extension of Islamic epistemology that positions creativity and innovation as moral obligations tied to human dignity and stewardship (khilafah). Second, the Malaysia Madani framework reframes human rights by embedding them within a relational model that balances individual entitlements with communal responsibility, ethical accountability and spiritual values. Third, comparative analysis of selected development and governance indicators suggests that innovation guided by Islamic values can support sustainable human development without detaching rights from morality. Overall, the study demonstrates that Islamic innovation through Daya Cipta offers a new analytical lens for human rights discourse, one that moves beyond secular universalism toward a more holistic, humane and contextually grounded model of governance. This research contributes to the growing scholarship on Islam and human rights by illustrating how creativity, when anchored in Islamic principles, can function as a transformative force for ethical governance and sustainable societal progress in Malaysia Madani.

Abstract

This review explores how gamified, checkpoint-based vocabulary learning supports the human right to education by promoting inclusive, equitable, and high-quality English instruction within Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) contexts. Drawing from empirical and theoretical sources, the paper discusses gamification as an instructional innovation that aligns with human rights principles of participation, autonomy, and empowerment. Checkpoint-based designs, such as the dual structure of digital recall and peer interaction, offer meaningful opportunities for learners to experience linguistic growth through accessible and engaging modalities. By integrating game-based digital tools with collaborative activities, educators not only enhance vocabulary retention and speaking confidence but also advance social justice in education through learner inclusion. This review advocates embedding gamified checkpoints into vocational English curricula as a pedagogical expression of the right to education for all learners, particularly those marginalized by conventional academic structures.
