Abstract

Drawing on Social Learning Theory and Islamic Ethics, this study develops and tests a model examining the mediating role of Islamic Work Ethics in the relationship between spiritual leadership and knowledge sharing. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted among 248 employees from two Islamic nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) operating in Southwest Papua, Indonesia. The proposed hypotheses were tested using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.1. The findings reveal that spiritual leadership exerts a positive and significant influence on both knowledge sharing and Islamic Work Ethics. Islamic Work Ethics also positively and significantly affects knowledge sharing. Furthermore, the indirect effect of spiritual leadership on knowledge sharing through Islamic Work Ethics is significant, indicating a partial mediation role. The proposed model explains 81.5% of the variance in knowledge-sharing behavior. The findings suggest that leaders of Islamic NGOs should invest strategically in spiritually grounded leadership development and initiatives aimed at strengthening Islamic Work Ethics to foster a more collaborative knowledge-sharing culture. However, the cross-sectional design and the focus on a single regional context limit the ability to draw causal conclusions and constrain the generalizability of the findings to other organizational settings. This study contributes to the Islamic management and organizational behavior literature by empirically examining Islamic Work Ethics as a mediating mechanism linking spiritual leadership and knowledge sharing. It also extends the existing literature by providing evidence from Islamic NGOs operating in a frontier Muslim-minority context in Eastern Indonesia, a setting that remains largely underexplored in prior research.

Abstract

The role of improving welfare is not only the government's obligation, but also the community. One of which is through the distribution of zakat. Zakat can be used to overcome social problems, so awareness in paying zakat is needed. Data analysis was conducted using CB-SEM via LISREL. The structural model incorporates accountability, knowledge, technology, and promotion as exogenous variables, with trust and commitment acting as intervening variables toward zakat awareness. Methodologically, data were analyzed using Covariance-Based SEM via LISREL with the Maximum Likelihood estimation. Through accidental sampling, 170 nisab-compliant Muslim residents participated as respondents, with their wealth status verified via preliminary screening questions. The research results show that, 1). The exogenous variable Accountability has a significant effect on commitment and does not have a significant effect on the level of trust. 2) The exogenous variable Knowledge has a significant influence on the level of trust and commitment. 3) The exogenous variable Technology does not have a significant effect on the level of trust and commitment variables. 4) The promotion variable does not have a significant effect on the level of trust and commitment variables. 5). The level of trust and commitment has a significant effect on people's awareness of paying Zakat in Baitul Maal. The finding that accountability has an effect on commitment while technology and promotion have no significant effect provides a new perspective for Baitul Mal to create more representative policies so that the community has more confidence and awareness in paying zakat at Baitul Mal. This research demonstrates that Baitul Mal Lhokseumawe must prioritize strengthening the accountability and knowledge of muzakki. However, technology and promotion are sometimes not always the primary drivers of zakat payments in the Lhokseumawe community.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of the concept of amanah (trustworthiness) through a behavioral accounting approach in assessing managerial performance at BAZNAS of Southeast Sulawesi Province. The study explores how the value of amanah influences managerial behavior, accountability, transparency, and organizational performance in zakat management. This research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with key informants, and documentation. The behavioral accounting approach was applied to understand managerial behavior and responsibilities in managing zakat funds and organizational activities. The results indicate that the integration of the concept of amanah and behavioral accounting contributes positively to managerial performance and the organizational work environment at BAZNAS of Southeast Sulawesi Province. The value of amanah has been internalized by employees and management in carrying out their duties in accordance with Law Number 23 of 2011 concerning Zakat Management. This value promotes responsible, transparent, and accountable behavior in the management of zakat funds. Furthermore, the implementation of amanah fosters stakeholder trust and strengthens organizational credibility, supporting more effective governance and reinforcing public confidence in zakat management institutions. The findings suggest that integrating Islamic ethical values, particularly amanah, into managerial practices and behavioral accounting frameworks can strengthen governance, accountability, and organizational effectiveness in zakat institutions. This study also provides practical insights for policymakers and zakat management organizations in developing value-based governance systems that enhance institutional performance and stakeholder trust. This study provides an alternative perspective by integrating Islamic ethical values with behavioral accounting in evaluating managerial performance. It highlights the importance of trustworthiness as a key factor in improving accountability, organizational effectiveness, and stakeholder confidence within zakat management institutions.

Abstract

This study examines how the historical continuity of China-Iran relations since the Silk Road era is mobilized in China's contemporary Middle East policy, and how it relates to China's stance on Palestine, using realism, energy geopolitics, and hedging theory as an integrated framework. Using Qualitative historical research based on a corpus of 34 primary and secondary sources (2015-2026, with classical Silk Road sources as an exception), analyzed through heuristic, source-criticism, interpretive, and historiographic stages. China-Iran relations, rooted in Silk Road era exchange, evolved into a partnership anchored in energy interdependence: China absorbs an estimated 80-90% of Iran's oil exports and anchors the 2021 25-year cooperation agreement, while withholding explicit political and security commitments an asymmetric hedging pattern that grows structurally harder to sustain as dependence deepens. China's Palestine stance follows a parallel logic: consistent normative rhetoric and repeated UN votes favoring an immediate Gaza ceasefire are unmatched by material intervention, indicating calculative diplomacy and selective geopolitical posture rather than ideological solidarity. The study connects Islamic civilizational history with geopolitical analysis. It relies on documentary and secondary sources rather than diplomatic interviews or systematic trade/voting datasets, which future research should incorporate. This is the first study to place China-Iran relations and China's Palestine policy within a single hedging framework, showing both are expressions of the same selective legitimacy logic.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between concentration and efficiency in the Indonesian Sharia general insurance industry and to identify the direction of causality between variables. A quantitative approach is employed using data from 2018–2023. Market concentration is measured using the Herfindahl–Hirschman Index (HHI), while efficiency is estimated through Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The dynamic relationship is analyzed using a Vector Autoregression (VAR) framework, including stationarity testing, optimal lag selection, and stability testing. The causal relationship is further investigated using Granger causality. The findings indicate that although market concentration demonstrates a gradual upward trend and efficiency levels vary across firms, the Granger causality analysis provides no evidence of a statistically significant causal relationship between the two variables. Specifically, neither market concentration Granger-causes efficiency nor efficiency Granger-causes concentration. The findings imply that market structure, as reflected by concentration levels, does not directly determine efficiency performance in the Indonesian Islamic general insurance industry. This suggests that firm-level factors such as managerial capability, resource allocation, and operational strategy play a more critical role in driving efficiency than external market concentration. Thus, policymakers should focus on strengthening firm competitiveness and operational performance rather than relying solely on market structure adjustments. The novelty of this research lies in integrating concentration and efficiency with VAR Granger Causality approaches to analyze the dynamic interaction between market concentration and efficiency in the Sharia general insurance industry.

Abstract

This study examines hadiths prohibiting the solicitation of positions of authority (al-imarah) to construct an integrative interpretation with implications for contemporary Islamic leadership ethics. A systematic thematic (mawdu’i) approach was employed, integrating isnad criticism, matn evaluation, and contextual reconstruction. Using the Hadith Soft application, a targeted search for the keyword al-imarah retrieved thirty-seven narrations from five canonical collections (Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan al-Tirmidhi, Sunan Abu Dawud, and Sunan al-Nasa’i). Fourteen narrations representing independent transmission chains with distinct isnad configurations were analyzed in depth; the remaining narrations served as textual variants. Rijal criticism and matn evaluation were conducted using al-Khatib al-Baghdadi’s and al-Adabi's canonical criteria. The primary transmission chains are classified as Sahih and marfu’, with all key transmitters rated thiqah. Matn analysis reveals consistency with Quranic principles; the apparent contradiction with Q. Yusuf (12):55 is resolved through harmonization (al-jam’), establishing that the prohibition targets those lacking competence and integrity, while permitting or obligating position-seeking for the qualified. Contextual reconstruction yields a tripartite typology: requesting office is prohibited (haram) when lacking qualifications, recommended (sunnah) when possessing superior qualifications, and obligatory (wajib) when necessary to prevent institutional harm. The findings challenge partial textual readings and provide actionable frameworks for merit-based leadership selection in contemporary Muslim institutions. The study is limited by its dependence on classical rijal assessments and the absence of empirical data on actual institutional practice; future research should address these gaps through field-based or comparative institutional studies. This study contributes an integrative framework that bridges classical hadith methodology with contemporary Islamic leadership ethics discourse, addressing a notable gap in scholarship on Islamic governance and offering scholars and practitioners a methodologically grounded typology for evaluating the ethics of position-seeking.

Abstract

This study aims to design a transformative Islamic Religious Education (PAI) pedagogical model integrating Al-Ishlah (self-improvement) and Al-Taghyir (fundamental transformation) values to address the academic burnout phenomenon among university students in Indonesia. A qualitative descriptive case-study design situated within a Design-Based Research (DBR) framework was employed. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews with PAI lecturers and students (n = 12; three lecturers and nine students, selected via purposive sampling at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia), six participatory classroom observations, and documentary analysis of lesson plans (RPP), student spiritual journals, and institutional reports. Data were analyzed using an interactive analysis model (reduction, display, conclusion drawing) combined with thematic analysis to identify religious coping patterns. Approximately 59% of students exhibited moderate burnout and 24% high burnout, with emotional exhaustion and cynicism as the dominant dimensions. Al-Ishlah manifested through three domains: a self-improvement framework, an affective pedagogical approach grounded in rahmah (compassion), rifq (gentleness), and ihtimam (attentiveness), and value internalization through structured muhasabah (self-introspection) via spiritual journaling. Al-Taghyir operated through four strategies: establishing transformative learning objectives, structured religious habituation, progressive responsibility assignment, and strengthening transcendental motivation. A Critical-Integrative Pedagogy Model integrating both values is proposed as a holistic framework with demonstrated potential to support stress reduction and academic resilience. This study is limited to the PAI context in one higher education institution; empirical validation through quasi-experimental designs is required to establish causal effectiveness. Findings carry practical implications for Islamic curriculum development, PAI lecturer training, and institutional mental-health policy in Indonesian higher education. This study offers conceptual novelty by operationalizing the Islamic theological-philosophical framework of Al-Ishlah wa Al-Taghyir as primary pedagogical organizing principles rather than supplementary coping strategies to address academic burnout, providing an Islamic epistemological alternative to Western psychological interventions that currently dominate the literature.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how Islamic cultural practices can strengthen the religious character of students in private Islamic schools with limited funding. This study is a qualitative case study that uses observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation and purposively involves the madrasa community. The study focuses on exploring socio-religious activities related to the implementation of Islamic culture. Data analysis uses the Miles and Huberman interactive model, with data collection, presentation, and conclusions triangulating methods and sources. This research demonstrates that Islamic cultural patterns can strengthen students' religious character through seven forms of Islamic culture. This support is inseparable from the commitment of the madrasa principal, the role model of teachers, and the creation of a conducive school environment. At the same time, the barriers are a lack of parental attention and the negative influence of free media. This study is limited to a single madrasa and does not quantitatively assess the development of students' religious character. This study is novel in that, even in a limited financial situation, private madrasas with Islamic cultural activities can strengthen students' religious character through exemplary teacher activities and habituation to collective Islamic culture, without relying on costly formal programs.

Abstract

The Muslim community has double obligations, namely tax and zakat obligations. Tax obligations are fulfilment as citizens, while zakat obligations are fulfilment as religious people. In terms of implementation, Muslims are faced with a choice of which one to prioritize, because everything is an obligation. Therefore, tax and zakat obligations should be integrated, so as not to confuse Muslims. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Maqasid al-Shariah in addressing zakat and tax integration to fulfil the zakat and tax compliance in Indonesia. Grounded in the five core objectives of Maqasid al-Shariah the protection of religion, life, wealth, honor, and intellect and shaped with system approach from Jasser Auda, this study explores how Islamic values can promote zakat-tax compliance and social welfare. This is an exploratory qualitative study involved 14 participants who were both taxpayers and muzakki (zakat payers), BAZNAS, and KPP Pratama supported by a literature review of 27 journal articles. Data were collected through in-depth interviews to examine participants’ understanding of taxation and zakat obligations. The results indicate that need to fulfil themes included maqasid al-shariah and systems approach of Jasser Auda. Among them are emphasizing institutional synergy by cooperation between KPP Pratama and BAZNAS, improved tax-zakat literacy, the use of zakat as taxable-income deduction, and the interpretation of compliance through maqasid al-shariah and Jasser Auda’s systems approach. The study focused on private employees and Muslim entrepreneurs, BAZNAS, and KPP Pratama selected by the researcher. All participants were affiliated with companies collaborating with BAZNAS and KPP Pratama. Research integrating tax-zakat compliance, and Maqasid al-Shariah remains limited. This study contributes to the literature by highlighting how religious values and legal compliance can jointly strengthen tax and zakat compliance with maqasid al-shariah approach in Indonesia.

Abstract

Rising data breaches, doxxing, and personal data misuse in the Big Data era show that the data security crisis is not merely technical, but also reflects individual users' low ethical awareness. This study formulates a conceptual ethical framework for digital technology users by integrating the Qur'anic values of Amanah and Al-'Adl (QS. An-Nisa: 58) with the Bugis-Makassar local wisdom of Siri' na Pacce. This is a conceptual - interpretive library research using a descriptive qualitative approach and thematic (maudhu'i) exegesis, drawing on Ibn Kathir, Al-Tabari, and Al-Misbah, together with Bugis-Makassar cultural literature. It does not involve primary data collection, surveys, interviews, or Delphi validation. Amanah emphasizes responsibility for safeguarding data confidentiality and trust, while Al-'Adl emphasizes justice and proportionality in information use. Both share conceptual common ground with Siri' na Pacce. Siri' (honor, dignity, social control) and Pacce (empathy, solidarity) together forming the Qur'anic Data Ethics framework, which integrates trust, responsible access, confidentiality, justice, proportionality, honor, and social empathy at the individual user level. This framework is a conceptual contribution, not an empirically tested solution. It is limited to textual and secondary-literature analysis, does not extend to institutional data governance, and requires further empirical testing. This study's originality lies in integrating Qur'anic ethical values (Amanah, Al-'Adl) with Bugis-Makassar local wisdom (Siri' na Pacce) into a single data security ethics framework for individual users, an approach not yet found in data ethics literature, which remains dominated by secular-technical perspectives.
