Exploring the Role of Waqf Instrument in Supporting Educational Development: A Qualitative Content Analysis
Full text linkThe cost of education has increased, while the government can no longer spend money on education development. In some Muslim countries, education access and opportunities for Muslims remain prolonged. Though Islam prioritizes education advancement for its followers, education attainment among Muslims is disappointing. Scholars and researchers have proposed using the waqf concept for education development in light of potential future scenarios in the current education sector to ensure more affordable and sustainable education for Muslims. Therefore, this study explores the roles of waqf in educational development by applying qualitative content analysis using past studies as references. The study discovered that waqf plays a significant role in supporting three costs of educational development: institution establishment cost, institution operational cost, and institution admission and enrollment cost. These three costs have been proven to be solved with the waqf instrument. It can be applied to all scales of educational institutions. With that, the study contributes to minimizing the gaps in the previous literature and introduces organized roles of waqf in educational development for authorities and relevant parties’ understanding
Theological and Cultural Construction: Resilience Strategies of the To Sallang Minority in A Multicultural Society
No full textTo Sallang is a term addressed to minority Muslims who live in Toraja. Even though they are a minority, they can live side by side, without losing their Islamic identity. This research aims to find out To Sallang's resilience strategy to survive among the mainstream religions and customs of the Toraja people who are predominantly Christian. In addition, it also aims to explore religious aspects that can strengthen To Sallang community to survive and adapt to a multicultural society. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The research results show that To Sallang manages to maintain their social identity as a native of Toraja descent, as well as negotiate personal identity as a Muslim community by adapting their genius and creative assimilation to universal religious values and local wisdom (indigenous knowledge). Through theological concepts such as fitrah-sunnatullah (natural law), hablum min al-nas (social interaction), hurmatu al-takrim (respect and honor), and al-ma'ruf (values of goodness and wisdom that are rooted in the traditions of society) synchronized with local wisdom values such as sikamali (love-miss each other), siangga' (mutual respect), and siangkaran (help each other), To Sallang can present a comprehensive picture of religiosity that accommodates religious aspirations with cultural characteristics. To Sallang strategy could be the best practice and reference to build religious and cultural co-existence since they can survive with their Islamic identity and local wisdom to live together in a multicultural society. It can also be a blueprint for religious and cultural harmony in overcoming potential conflicts caused by ethnic and religious differences
Prison System Transformation: Delving into Restorative Justice, Rehabilitation, and Religious Life Based on Islamic Law
No full textThis study explores the idea of the transformation of prison systems based on Islamic law to understand the contribution of Islamic principles and practices to the effectiveness and fairness of the prison system as a whole. The research method involves a systematic and comprehensive literature review to understand the conceptualization of Islamic law in the context of the prison system and previous studies. It aims to establish a strong theoretical basis, identify research gaps, explore existing empirical evidence, and make a significant contribution to understanding Islamic law's application in the prison system. The results of this study conclude that integrating Islamic law into the prison system can make an important contribution to rehabilitating prisoners, promoting restorative justice, and providing fair and equal religious accommodation. However, its implementation must be carried out carefully, considering the principles of justice, human rights, and religious diversity. Collaboration and dialogue between prison institutions, scholars, and related parties are also needed to strengthen comprehensive understanding, overcome misconceptions, and ensure that implementing Islamic law in the prison system is carried out properly and in line with human rights principles

Law For Space Travel: Analysis of Fiqh in Space
No full textThe purpose of this research discussion paper is to understand the Islamic issues involved in Space Travel, which is a novel field. Hitherto, only limited research has been undertaken on how Muslim astronauts can maintain their Islam for a prolonged period away from the Earth. This paper will commence with an introduction to Islamic law (which includes the distinct term fiqh), before discussing the obligations of Muslims in space. Also discussed in this paper will be the Maqasid, or higher objectives, which provides an avenue for Muslim space travelers to maintain their Islam within the framework of the religion. The methodology used in this paper is based on research of existing literature, comments from previous Muslim astronauts as well as a review of Muslim law that pertains to travel. The finding of this paper sets out the application of Islamic Law for interstellar Space Travel and off-world colonisation. It discusses the relevant ibadah rulings (literally meaning religious rituals such as prayer, fasting, ablution, keeping halal, and death rites inter alia) and how these can be practically applied in the context of space travel. This paper also outlines the moral, legal and practical challenges faced by a Muslim undertaking Space Travel and discusses the relevant Islamic ‘knowledge’ that may assist in reconciling these issues. The term interstellar Space Travel and colonisation is used to refer to those activities that are performed away from the Earth, such as in the micro-gravity of space or on an off world colony i.e., Mars. This paper is unique from other published papers in the field as it contemplates off world habitation and not just a short-term sojourn into space. The research finding is that Islamic Law is able to adapt to the challenges of space by incorporating how early Muslims maintained their Islam while traveling long distances outside their home countries. This is an emerging area of study, so there is a dearth and scarcity of literature about Muslims in space written from a scholarly perspective. This paper intends to rectify this situation by providing a marker for other scholars and researchers to follo

Non-Muslim Indian Scholar to Islamic Studies: A Study of Narendra Nath Law’s Treatise
Full text linkMuslims arriving from the subcontinent wanted for learning and teaching Islam in India, especially in history. Ulema and Indian Muslim scholars have contributed a lot in this realm, and the study of Islam has been an area of great interest to non-Muslim writers. Their role in this subject is also of great worth, and their contributions, to name a few, include the translation of the Quran, Seerat, Islamic teachings, Tasawwuf, Muslim history and civilization, and their society and culture. The present Paper is an endeavor to bring a brilliant contribution of the same kind in the field of Islamic Studies to the fore made by a distinguished Indian non-Muslim scholar, Mr. Narendra Nath Law, with special reference to his noted book “Promotion of Learning in India: during Muhammadan Rule (by Muhammadans).” This Paper gives three sections, and the first gives a brief sketch of the book; the second critically reviews the sources on which the content of the book is based; and the third treats with depth investigation and analysis of the views and assumptions of Mr. Law on educational and literary history in India during the long roll of Muslim rulers. The importance of the Paper lies in its focus on the history of learning and teaching Islam in India. By highlighting the contributions of Law, the Paper aims to shed light on the significant role played by non-Muslim scholars in the study of Islam in India, which has often been overlooked
Interfaith Marriage Phenomenon in Indonesia from the Perspective of Sadd al-Żarī'ah and Fatḥ al-Żarī'ah
Full text linkThe subject of interfaith marriage in Indonesia, including its pros and cons, has been in the public purview recently. This research aims to answer public concerns, provide recommendations for strengthening regulations, and even prevent this type of marriage. A qualitative method alongside a sociological approach was applied, while data collection techniques included interviews and literature studies. It was concluded through sadd al-żarī'ah analysis, that interfaith marriage should be prohibited as it only leads to harm and difficulties in households and families. Furthermore, fatḥ al-żarī'ah analysis of the marriage of a Muslim man to an Ahlu al-Kitab woman is permitted by the majority of scholars. This is due to the possibility of benefits, namely the opportunity to guide the woman to embrace Islam. it is emphasized that this possibility is relative, as the Muslim man may change his faith. Therefore, this facility (al-żarī'ah) should not be opened (fatḥ al-żarī'ah). The implications of this study recommend sadd al-żarī'ah as material for consideration in strengthening the rules regarding interfaith marriages in the future. Moreover, the polemic of interfaith marriage should be resolved immediately by affirming and enforcing changes to the marriage law. Legal vacuums in the regulation of this matter should not be allowed or ignored due to the negative impact in terms of social and religious life
