Abstract

Islamic education is increasingly challenged to remain relevant amid rapid social, technological, and cultural transformations. This article examines Islamic education reform through the integration of traditional Islamic scholarship and modern pedagogical approaches, highlighting its implications for curriculum development, teaching practices, and socio-cultural outcomes. Using a qualitative normative approach based on contemporary literature, this study analyzes how integrative reform models enable Islamic educational institutions to respond to globalization while maintaining their epistemological and ethical foundations. The findings indicate that integrating tradition and modern pedagogy enhances graduate adaptability, ethical competence, and social engagement without undermining religious identity. Furthermore, the reform supports institutional sustainability by aligning educational goals with societal expectations and global educational standards. This study argues that integrated Islamic education reform is not merely a pedagogical adjustment but a comprehensive transformation that redefines the role of Islamic education in modern Muslim societies. The article contributes to the broader discourse on educational reform by positioning Islamic education as a dynamic system capable of balancing continuity and change

Abstract

Islamic economics emphasizes social justice as a core objective, positioning zakat and waqf as fundamental instruments for poverty alleviation and equitable wealth distribution. This article examines the role of zakat and waqf within contemporary Islamic economic frameworks, focusing on their capacity to address both immediate poverty and structural inequality. Through a qualitative analysis of recent scholarly literature, the study highlights how zakat functions as a redistributive mechanism that reduces income disparities and social vulnerability, while waqf contributes to long-term economic empowerment by supporting education, health services, and productive economic activities. The findings indicate that an integrated approach to zakat and waqf management enhances financial inclusion, institutional effectiveness, and sustainability of poverty reduction programs. Furthermore, the study underscores the importance of governance, digital innovation, and policy alignment in maximizing the social impact of Islamic social finance. By combining ethical principles with institutional innovation, Islamic economics offers a comprehensive model for achieving social justice and sustainable development in Muslim societies.

Abstract

Islamic law has long been perceived as a normative system rooted in classical jurisprudence, yet contemporary social developments have necessitated renewed interpretations and applications of fiqh. This article examines the relationship between Islamic law and social change by analyzing how contemporary fiqh responds to evolving social, economic, technological, and cultural contexts in Muslim societies. Employing normative legal research based on doctrinal analysis, this study explores classical legal principles alongside modern reformist approaches, including maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, ijtihād maqāṣidī, and collective ijtihād. The findings indicate that contemporary fiqh increasingly emphasizes public interest, legal objectives, and contextual reasoning to address modern challenges such as family law reform, healthcare ethics, digital transactions, and social justice. These developments reflect a shift from rigid textualism toward a more purposive and socially responsive jurisprudence. The article argues that this transformation does not undermine the authority of Islamic law but rather strengthens its legitimacy and relevance. By integrating ethical values with social realities, contemporary fiqh serves as an effective legal instrument for managing social change while preserving the core principles of Islamic jurisprudence.

Abstract

This article examines the role of Tasawwuf in spiritual education and its contribution to moral development within contemporary Muslim societies. Employing a normative and qualitative literature-based approach, the study analyzes scholarly works on Sufism, Islamic education, and moral formation to explore how Tasawwuf functions as an ethical and pedagogical framework. The findings reveal that Tasawwuf emphasizes inner spiritual purification, moral self-discipline, and the cultivation of virtues such as sincerity, compassion, and humility, which are essential for holistic moral development. Beyond individual character formation, Tasawwuf also strengthens collective ethics by fostering social responsibility, moderation, and moral resilience through communal spiritual practices and moral leadership. In educational settings, the integration of Tasawwuf contributes to value internalization by aligning spiritual consciousness with ethical behavior. The study concludes that Tasawwuf remains a relevant and adaptive moral resource capable of responding to modern social challenges, including digitalization and moral disorientation. Its integration into spiritual education provides a balanced approach that connects inner spirituality with ethical engagement in social life.

Abstract

Pluralism has become an unavoidable reality in contemporary multicultural societies, raising important theological questions regarding how Islamic belief (aqidah) engages religious diversity without losing doctrinal coherence. In contexts such as Indonesia, where social life is shaped by deep religious plurality, Islamic theology is increasingly challenged to articulate faith as a source of ethical guidance, social harmony, and civic responsibility. This study aims to analyze the role of aqidah in responding to pluralism through theological discourse, Islamic education, and social practice. The research employs a qualitative normative interpretative method based on systematic literature analysis of contemporary Islamic theological, educational, and legal studies related to pluralism and religious moderation. Data are examined through thematic and comparative analysis to identify patterns of theological reasoning and practical application. The findings show that aqidah functions as a dynamic moral foundation that sustains firm belief while promoting moderation, dialogue, and coexistence. When integrated into education and da’wah, aqidah strengthens social cohesion and ethical engagement in multicultural settings.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed decision-making across multiple sectors, creating ethical challenges that require governance frameworks beyond technical regulation. Contemporary AI governance emphasizes transparency, accountability, fairness, and privacy, yet these principles often lack normative foundations reflecting the ethical and legal values of Muslim societies. This study reconstructs Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah as an integrated ethical framework for AI governance in contemporary Muslim societies. Using a qualitative library research approach, the study synthesizes recent scholarship on Islamic jurisprudence, AI ethics, digital governance, and Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah through thematic and conceptual analysis. The findings indicate that the higher objectives of Islamic law provide a coherent governance framework by linking the preservation of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and wealth with AI governance principles, including transparency, explainability, accountability, human dignity, and public welfare. The framework also demonstrates the application of Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah across education, Islamic legal services, family law, digital communication, and Islamic finance. This study contributes by repositioning Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah as a multidimensional governance paradigm and providing a conceptual foundation for interdisciplinary research on Islamic ethics and responsible artificial intelligence governance.

Abstract

Digital identity and biometric authentication have become fundamental components of contemporary digital governance, creating new legal and ethical challenges for Islamic jurisprudence as conventional methods of identity verification are increasingly replaced by technologically mediated authentication systems. This study aims to reinterpret Islamic legal principles governing digital identity and biometric authentication through the integrated perspectives of uṣūl al-fiqh and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. A qualitative normative legal approach was employed using library research based on contemporary scholarly literature concerning Islamic law, digital governance, biometric technology, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, privacy, and electronic authentication. The analysis demonstrates that the legitimacy of digital identity should be evaluated according to its ability to preserve justice, legal certainty, accountability, human dignity, and public welfare rather than the technological characteristics of authentication mechanisms alone. Biometric authentication is considered compatible with Islamic legal principles when supported by meaningful consent, proportional data governance, institutional responsibility, and effective privacy protection. The study proposes an integrated Islamic legal framework connecting digital identity, biometric authentication, ethical governance, and legal accountability, illustrating that Islamic jurisprudence possesses sufficient interpretive flexibility to respond constructively to digital transformation while maintaining its normative integrity. The proposed framework offers a conceptual foundation for future legal development and empirical research on digital governance within contemporary Muslim societies.

Abstract

Climate justice has emerged as a critical normative issue that requires ethical and legal frameworks capable of integrating environmental sustainability with social welfare and intergenerational responsibility. This study aims to reconstruct Islamic environmental ethics through the perspective of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah and to formulate an integrated conceptual framework for contemporary climate governance. The research employed a qualitative normative legal approach using library research, drawing upon recent scholarly literature on Islamic environmental law, ecological jurisprudence, environmental ethics, and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. Data were analyzed through qualitative content analysis and conceptual synthesis to identify key normative principles and develop an Eco-Maqāṣid framework. The findings demonstrate that environmental preservation should be understood as a foundational legal objective supporting the realization of public welfare, justice, and sustainable development. The study further shows that integrating the principles of tawḥīd, khilāfah, mīzān, and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah provides a coherent ethical foundation for preventive environmental governance, institutional accountability, and climate resilience. The proposed Eco-Maqāṣid framework contributes theoretically by synthesizing fragmented discussions on Islamic environmental ethics into a unified analytical model and offers a normative reference for strengthening climate governance within contemporary Islamic legal thought.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has generated significant debates regarding its role in Islamic legal reasoning and the legitimacy of AI-assisted fatwas. This study aims to comparatively analyze the development of contemporary fatwas on artificial intelligence by examining the legal reasoning, epistemological foundations, and ethical principles adopted by contemporary Islamic scholars. A qualitative non-empirical approach was employed through a systematic literature review of recent academic publications and contemporary studies on AI, Islamic jurisprudence, fatwa authority, and digital governance. The findings identify three dominant jurisprudential models: restrictive, collaborative, and adaptive. Although these models differ in their evaluation of AI participation in legal reasoning, they consistently affirm that AI cannot independently perform ijtihad or replace qualified jurists. The analysis further demonstrates that contemporary debates have shifted from technological capability toward governance, accountability, and human oversight as the primary determinants of legal legitimacy. This study proposes an integrated governance framework that combines uṣūl al-fiqh, maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, and human-centered supervision to support the responsible integration of AI into Islamic legal institutions while preserving the epistemological integrity and normative authority of Islamic jurisprudence.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital technology has transformed the governance of waqf institutions, creating new opportunities to enhance transparency, accountability, and operational efficiency while simultaneously raising challenges regarding Sharia compliance and institutional legitimacy. This study aims to formulate an integrated framework for revitalizing waqf governance through digital innovation from a Sharia perspective on transparency and public accountability. The research employed a non-empirical qualitative design using a doctrinal and literature-based approach. Data were collected from recent scholarly publications, legal studies, and academic literature concerning waqf governance, digital transformation, Islamic social finance, and maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, followed by critical content analysis and conceptual synthesis. The findings indicate that digital technologies, including blockchain, artificial intelligence, digital accounting, and integrated information systems, strengthen governance effectiveness only when implemented within a governance structure guided by the principles of amanah, justice, transparency, and public welfare. The study further demonstrates that public accountability should be understood as a continuous ethical and institutional process rather than merely financial reporting. The proposed integrated governance model contributes to contemporary Islamic legal scholarship by connecting technological innovation with Sharia governance principles and provides a conceptual foundation for future empirical studies on sustainable digital waqf governance.
