Abstract

One of the problems faced by nazhir in realizing the benefits of immovable asset waqfs such as land and buildings is funding. Not all asset waqf handed over by wakif are in top condition. On the other hand, nazhirs feel an obligation to facilitate wakif worship. This finally requires Nazhir to be able to raise funds to improve asset quality according to program planning, so that the waqf assets can be widely useful for the community and generate value that continues to flow. This paper reviews the asset-based waqf program funding model that is useful for realizing the nazhir waqf program. This study looked at three nazhirs namely Baitulmaal Muamalat, Dompet Dhuafa and BSI Maslahat located in Jakarta. The research method uses an observation design with in-depth interview instruments. This research found that in nazhir, which also has zakat institutions, strategically has a broad program funding model. In addition to the single waqf instrument model (direct-indirect) and the capital participation model by angel investors, one of the models that is also applied is to integrate waqf funds and ZIS (Zakat, Infak, Sadaqah) through the involvement of zakat institutions. The three nazhirs implemented a policy of synergy and collaboration in funding the waqf program as part of the solution to generate benefits for the asset-based waqf program. The implementation of ZISWAF fund integration provides additional breadth of funding sources for nazhir to realize its program, which in the end is not only limited to waqf instrument fund sources such as: waqf in the form of money, stock waqf, cash waqf link sukuk, and so on. Technically, zakat institutions distribute ZIS funds to asset-based programs at their nazhir institutions while still paying attention to the principles of program accuracy, recipients and asnaf.

Abstract

This article seeks to elucidate the fundamental concept of shirkah muḍārabah (business partnership based on sharing agreement) within both classical and contemporary Islamic legal literature, as well as its historical application in Islamic contexts. It endeavors to reconceptualize this notion and its implementation, particularly within the Indonesian framework, through the lens of Islamic law.  Through library research and critical reconstructive analysis, it is concluded that the concept of shirkah muḍārabah can be effectively implemented, largely devoid of socio-economic and political constraints, particularly in partnership-based business activities between investors-capitalists and proprietors who are committed to conducting business partnerships grounded in trust, founded on the principles of honesty, transparency, and maqāṣid sharīa (higher objectives of Islamic jurisprudence) argument.

Abstract

This paper explores the origin of Islam as a divine religion revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and conveyed to mankind. The demise of the prophet, however, did not bring an end to the message of Islam. It was as a result of the tenacity of his companions, who were able to completely comprehend the message, preserve the teachings, and entrust them to the next generation. The life chronicle of the companions unveils how they sacrificed their noble status, life, and wealth for the cause of Islam. Their practical application of the teachings of the religion, such as their tenacity in upholding the spirit of truthfulness and trustworthiness, embracing the love for the prophet and his family, promoting the spirit of brotherhood, and ensuring swift compliance with his instructions, is noteworthy. This paper equally looks into their commitment to preserving and disseminating the message of Islam, and how they promoted harmonious Muslim non-Muslim relations, following the dictates of the Quran and the teachings of the prophet. The research adopted a library method to explore related materials from various library collections. In conclusion, this study disclosed the dedication of the prophet’s companions as a means through which God aims to ensure the continuity of the message of Islam for future generations. In addition, their exemplary life inspires Muslims to follow in their footsteps in promoting the path of Islam.

Abstract

On September 22, 2021, Cinta Laura delivered a commencement speech at the Launching Night for Religious Moderation Action held by the Ministry of Religious Affairs. Cinta Laura is known as a young female artist and grew up in an environment of Western education. Her attendance conveys a significant message about what and who the main target of the religious moderation policy is. This article employed a critical discourse analysis method to examine religious moderation through the lens of the hegemonic state policy. Secondary data are obtained from books, articles, opinions, and news in both print and electronic mass media that explain the concepts and ideas of religious moderation, especially since 2020. The question is, how is the policy of religious moderation constructed today? What is the purpose of the policy? The article argues that the state promotes religious moderation to strengthen the legitimacy of the new nationalism. This policy aims to nationalize religious views to influence how people view the relationship between religion and the state. It is accomplished, in part, by implementing policies that promote the debunking of narratives of religious intolerance, especially in educational institutions. Additionally, the state promotes socio-cultural norms that are perceived as beneficial to the state in terms of maintaining stability. The critical contribution of this article is that, through religious moderation policies, the state has managed to mitigate the political impact of intolerance; however, this approach tends to be formalistic and ceremonial.

Abstract

The concepts of Islamic education and da’wah have garnered significant scholarly interest; however, most prior research remains theoretical, lacking a detailed examination of how Islamic universities operationalize curricula to cultivate future da’wah leaders. This study fills that gap by investigating how Muhammadiyah Higher Education (MHE), Perguruan Tinggi Muhammadiyah (PTM), systematically prepares the next generation of da’is or preachers. Employing a qualitative-descriptive methodology, data were collected through document analysis, curriculum review, and semi-structured interviews with academic leaders. The analysis demonstrates that MHE has integrated Muhammadiyah values across its curricula and established a formal collaboration with the Asia Muslim Charity Foundation (AMCF) to strengthen students’ Arabic proficiency and Islamic literacy, competencies essential for da’wah roles. These innovative strategies show how MHE not only provides ideological formation but also technical preparation for da’wah practitioners. This article thus presents a concrete model of how an Islamic educational institution integrates da’wah within its academic structures, making both theoretical and practical contributions to the broader discourse on Islamic higher education.

Abstract

Indonesia has emerged as the world’s second-largest halal market, boasting the largest Muslim population globally. Despite the Minister of Religious Affairs Decree No. 748/2021, which mandates halal certification for all food service providers by 2024, only a small fraction of restaurants have obtained certification. This study explores differences in consumer segmentation between Muslim patrons who choose halal-certified restaurants and those who do not. The study utilized data from 200 respondents in Banyumas Regency. It also employed hierarchical cluster analysis, which involves measuring distances, linking clusters, and identifying the optimal cluster solution, to delineate distinct consumer groups. Two primary categories are recognized among consumers who choose halal-certified restaurants. High-compliance Muslim Consumers exhibit substantial knowledge, awareness, and commitment to halal certification in their food choices. In contrast, Moderate-Identity Consumers recognize the significance of halal certification but do not regard it as a determining factor in their purchasing decisions. This study also identifies three consumer segments among patrons of non-halal-certified restaurants. The largest group, Halal Flexible, consists mainly of consumers who possess high halal awareness but adopt flexible eating choices due to lower–to–middle–income constraints. Low Halal Concern Consumers exhibit moderate awareness, striking a balance between religious considerations and practical needs. Low-Compliance Consumers display minimal halal awareness and negligible interest in halal attributes. This study is significant in providing insight into how these consumer segments illustrate varying orientations toward halal certification, shaped by differences in religious understanding, personal values, contextual factors, and sociodemographic profiles.

Abstract

This article analyzes the Prosperous Justice Party’s (PKS) rejection of Indonesia’s Law Number 12 of 2022 on Sexual Violence Crimes (TPKS) by examining the Islamic legal reasoning embedded in the legislative process. Using a qualitative legal research design, the study draws on parliamentary records, official party documents, and interviews with key political and religious figures to identify the normative foundations of PKS’s stance. The findings reveal that PKS frames its opposition through the preventive logic of sadd al-dzarī‘ah and selective applications of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, particularly hifz al-nasl and hifz al-‘ird, while giving less emphasis to victim-oriented protection associated with hifz al-nafs. The study argues that PKS’s position constitutes a form of ijtihād siyāsah dustūriyyah, in which Islamic legal principles are negotiated within constitutional legislative structures rather than articulated through traditional juristic authority. This article contributes to Islamic legal scholarship by demonstrating how partisan actors exercise Islamic legal agency within democratic institutions. It also highlights the challenges of balancing moral preservation and rights-based legal reform in a pluralistic legal system.
Blockchain Technology as A Means of Wealth Protection (Ḥifẓ al-Māl) in Digital Cryptocurrency Assets: A Maqāṣid-Oriented Analytical Framework Agus Wahyu Irawan; Muhammad Lathoif Ghozali; Sadiq Ibrahim Mijinyawa; Nurlaili Adkhi Rizfa Faiza

Abstract

The rapid expansion of blockchain technology and digital cryptocurrency assets has generated significant debate within Islamic finance, particularly regarding their compliance with the objectives of Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah. This study critically examines the role of blockchain technology in the protection of wealth (ḥifẓ al-māl) within digital cryptocurrency assets using a maqāṣid-oriented analytical framework. Employing a qualitative normative–conceptual approach grounded in Jasser Auda’s systems theory of maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah, the study analyzes how core blockchain characteristics transparency, cryptographic security, immutability, and distributed ledger architecture contribute to wealth protection while also identifying inherent risks and limitations. The findings indicate that blockchain can support ḥifẓ al-māl by enhancing transaction accountability, safeguarding ownership, and mitigating fraud. However, such contributions are neither inherent nor unconditional, as they depend on governance structures, regulatory alignment, and ethical usage frameworks. The study further distinguishes between blockchain as a neutral technological infrastructure and cryptocurrency as a financial instrument that may generate Shariah concerns due to volatility, gharar, and speculative excess. By articulating this distinction, the research advances a more proportionate and critically grounded maqāṣid-based assessment of blockchain, contributing to contemporary discourse on Islamic digital finance and offering a conceptual foundation for future regulatory and technological development.

Abstract

This study examines the application of the Theory of the Hierarchy of Islamic Legal Norms within the Manhaj Tarjih of Muhammadiyah as an epistemological framework for thematic studies of hadiths related to social justice. Focusing on a case study of the Muhammadiyah Tarjih Council's fatwa regarding responses to greetings from non-Muslims, the research aims to critically reassess the normative foundation and sociocultural context of the fatwa through a hierarchical approach to Islamic legal norms. Utilizing a qualitative library-based method and thematic analysis, the study engages with a range of relevant primary and secondary sources. The findings suggest that the hierarchical model offers a more flexible and contextually grounded interpretation of the hadith, especially when core Islamic values, such as justice (al-ʿadl), public welfare (al-maṣlaḥah), and social harmony, are prioritized. The study recommends a more contextual, inclusive, and dialogical fatwa methodology to enhance social cohesion in multicultural societies and to align Islamic legal thought with contemporary ethical imperatives.

Abstract

Disappointment is one of the most prevalent negative emotions experienced by adolescents and can disrupt psychological well-being if not properly managed. This study aims to develop an integrative Islamic model of emotion regulation based on the Qur’anic concepts of tafakkur (cognitive reappraisal) and tadzakkur (spiritual meaning-making). Employing a qualitative approach, this research employed a literature study method and a thematic analysis of Qur’anic verses containing the expressions "la’allakum tatafakkarun" and "la’allakum tadzakkarun."  Data were examined through classical-to-modern interpretations and connected with contemporary psychological theories, including Gross’s emotion regulation framework, Pargament’s religious coping, and Park’s meaning-making model. The findings demonstrated that tafakkur functions as a rational-reflective process that allows individuals to reinterpret disappointment, while tadzakkur strengthens emotional recovery by reconstructing meaning through divine awareness and remembrance. Both serve as complementary mechanisms for cognitive and spiritual regulation, promoting emotional resilience and holistic well-being in Muslim adolescents. This study provides a conceptual contribution to Islamic Psychology by bridging Qur’anic epistemology and modern psychological theory. It also suggests that the integration of tafakkur and tadzakkur can be applied in character education and spiritually-based counseling interventions to help adolescents manage emotional distress constructively.
