Measuring of the Shariah Compliance in the Shariah Cooperative from Maqashid al-Shariah Perspectives

2026-03-02T14:59:19+00:00

Sharia cooperatives are currently growing rapidly and are present in society. However, they face several challenges. One issue is that many still doubt the Sharia-compliant of Sharia cooperatives. Many consider sharia cooperatives to be the same as conventional cooperatives. Therefore, sharia cooperatives must demonstrate their compliance with sharia. This study aims to measure the level of sharia-compliant of sharia cooperatives in Mataram City. The research method used is a descriptive quantitative. This study will involve all sharia cooperatives in Mataram City. The sampling technique used is non-probability sampling with census sampling. The results showed that the BMT Iqtishady and the Gumarang Akbar Sharia Cooperative were the most sharia-compliant cooperatives. Second place was taken by the Al-Mujahidin Mosque Sharia Cooperative in Tanjung Karang Permai and the Bumi Gora Mandiri Sharia Cooperative. Third place went to Sepakat Sejahtera Sharia Cooperative. Based on the research results, the majority of the sampled Sharia cooperatives exhibit a high level of Sharia compliance. This study complements prior research on the Sharia compliance of financial institutions by adding a measurement model grounded in maqashid sharia.

The Construction of Religious Moderation Based on Local Wisdom: A Study of the Samin Community in Blora

2026-02-03T08:01:37+00:00

The dominance of state-centric approaches in religious moderation discourse often overlooks organic conflict resolution mechanisms at the grassroots level, creating a gap between policy and cultural reality. This study aims to explore the social construction and actualization of religious moderation rooted in local wisdom within the Samin (Sedulur Sikep) community in Blora. Employing a phenomenological approach grounded in Peter L. Berger’s Social Construction Theory, this research gathered data through in-depth interviews with ten key Samin figures (Sedulur Sikep) and participatory observations in the Kemantren areas. The results reveal that Samin moderation is not built upon theological dogma, but on the dialectic of Laku (praxis) philosophy and anti-panasten (self-restraint). This construction shifts the paradigm from ritual piety to substantive social piety. Specifically, these values manifest in three key dimensions: (1) radical honesty (nemu wae ora keno), (2) inclusive traditions establishing an interfaith peace zone, and (3) political resilience against sectarian polarization. This study concludes that Saminism offers a bottom-up moderation model that strengthens national commitment. Consequently, religious moderation policies should integrate these grounded cultural pathways to enhance social cohesion beyond formal theological dialogues.

Ecosufism as a Critical Lens on the Disconnection Between Islamic Spirituality and Ecological Responsibility

2026-03-02T14:57:44+00:00

This study examines the persistence of ecological crises in Pekalongan, particularly recurrent flooding, by analyzing the disconnection between Islamic spirituality and socio-ecological praxis within santri communities. Despite the strong presence of Sufi traditions, pesantren culture, and religious moral discourse, environmental degradation continues, indicating an urgent gap between spiritual piety and ecological responsibility. This research aims to explore how ecosufism is understood and articulated in socio-religious life, why Sufi spirituality has not been significantly transformed into environmental awareness and conservation practices, and what theological, socio-cultural, and structural factors shape this disjunction. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis, and analyzed thematically using ecosufism, Islamic environmental ethics, social practice theory, and political ecology. The findings show that ecosufism operates mainly at a normative and symbolic level, emphasizing individual moral cultivation and spiritual endurance rather than collective ecological action. Environmental crises are commonly interpreted as divine tests rather than consequences of human–nature imbalance. The study concludes that weak articulation and institutionalization of ecosufism as a public ethic hinder the transformation of spiritual piety into ecological piety in disaster-prone contexts.

Reconstruction of Higher Education Curriculum Thinking Based on Philosophy and Theology According to Harun Nasution: Systematic Literature Review

2026-02-04T10:55:23+00:00

This study examines the reconstruction of philosophy- and theology-based curriculum thought developed by Harun Nasution as a framework for integrating Islamic sciences with general sciences in Islamic higher education. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, this research analyzes key scholarly works that discuss curriculum reform, the integration of knowledge, and the intellectual transformation of Islamic educational institutions influenced by Nasution’s rational-theological paradigm. The findings indicate that Nasution’s thought promotes an integrative model that harmonizes rationality and spirituality, thereby overcoming the traditional dichotomy between religious and general sciences. His framework emphasizes the incorporation of philosophy, theology, and modern social sciences as foundational pillars for expanding students’ intellectual capacity and fostering critical, analytical, and adaptive thinking. The study also confirms that this paradigm contributed significantly to the institutional transformation from IAIN to UIN and the strengthening of interdisciplinary academic traditions. The study concludes that Nasution’s approach provides a relevant and progressive basis for reconstructing the curriculum of Islamic higher education. Its practical implications include the adoption of discussion-based pedagogies, the enhancement of hermeneutic competence, and increased innovation in interdisciplinary research. Overall, this reconstruction offers a holistic and future-oriented model of Islamic higher education that responds effectively to contemporary global challenges, including those of the Industrial Revolution 5.0 era.

Santripreneur: A Model of Islamic Economic Management Through Pesantren-Based Entrepreneurship Education

2026-03-11T07:21:36+00:00

Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in Indonesia are transforming, not only as centers of religious education but also as agents of economic empowerment through the development of entrepreneurship based on Islamic values. This study aims to analyze the strategies for forming santripreneur character, the transformation of students’ entrepreneurial spirit, and the empowerment model in managing business units at Pesantren Al Ma’ruf Kediri. Using a qualitative method with a case study approach, data were collected through participatory observation in business units (laundry, culinary, fisheries, etc.), in-depth interviews with caregivers, teachers (ustadz), and students (santri), as well as document analysis. The findings reveal that entrepreneurship education at this pesantren is holistically integrated through formal learning, seminars, study circles (halaqah), mentoring, and direct practice (experiential learning). This strategy effectively instills pesantren values such as independence, sincerity, honesty, and work ethic as a spiritual foundation in business, while simultaneously avoiding usury (riba) and exploitation. The empowerment model, based on structured mentoring and a task rotation system, successfully enhances the students’ entrepreneurial self-efficacy, fosters leadership qualities, and promotes the pesantren’s economic independence. In conclusion, the pesantren is capable of producing a generation of santripreneurs who are pious, morally upright, financially independent, and serve as agents of Islamic economic change adaptable to global dynamics.

From Mustahik to Muzaki: An Integrated Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Model for Productive Zakat Distribution

2026-03-19T15:22:53+00:00

This study addresses the stagnation of mustahik (zakat recipient) transformation into muzaki (zakat payer) due to low entrepreneurial value addition in productive zakat programs. Despite significant potential, many mustahik businesses remain stuck in basic production with minimal innovation. This research aims to analyze the implementation of productive zakat at BAZNAS Pasuruan Regency, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and formulate a distribution model based on entrepreneurial value addition. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with BAZNAS officials and four diverse mustahik clusters, participant observation, and documentation. Findings reveal that while zakat capital improves basic welfare, its impact on status transformation remains suboptimal due to limited intensive mentoring and low business literacy. Supporting factors include strong institutional commitment, while geographic access and lack of specialized partnerships act as barriers. This study proposes the "Integrated Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Model," a five-pillar framework emphasizing transformative paradigms, multi-stakeholder synergy, and context-specific mentoring. This research contributes a novel "Sustainable Entrepreneurial Value Added" formula, shifting the zakat distribution focus from mere financial aid to building a holistic entrepreneurial ecosystem, providing a practical roadmap for zakat institutions to accelerate the mustahik-to-muzaki transition.

Literary Reception and Religious Transformation in the Reading of the Manāqib of the Qadiriyya wa Naqshbandiyya Order in Lamongan

2026-03-02T15:00:37+00:00

This study examines literary reception and religious transformation in the recitation of Lujayn al-Dānī fī Manāqib al-Shaykh ‘Abd al-Qādir al-Jīlānī within the community of the Qadiriyya wa Naqshbandiyya Order (TQN) in Lamongan. In contrast to previous studies that primarily emphasize the ritualistic and social dimensions of manāqib gatherings, this research positions the text as a living religious work that generates transformative effects through reader interaction. Employing a qualitative approach with a religious ethnographic design, the study integrates Wolfgang Iser’s reception theory—particularly the concepts of the implied reader and Wirkung (effect)—with participatory observation and in-depth interviews. The findings reveal that the reception of the manāqib text produces multidimensional religious transformations: psycho-spiritual (inner tranquility and strengthened tawakkul), devotional praxis (increased intensity of dhikr and religious practices), social (enhanced solidarity and communal cohesion), and cultural (reinforcement of Sufi identity and the legitimization of spiritual authority). The manāqib text does not merely function as a hagiographic narrative; rather, it operates as a performative agent that shapes religious habitus through repetitive collective recitation. This study broadens the application of literary reception theory to the analysis of classical Sufi religious texts and affirms that manāqib functions as a living text, continually interacting with social realities and the spiritual experiences of its congregation.

How Religious Communication Shapes Islamic Sales Promotion Strategies? A Systemic Literature Review

2026-02-08T07:31:58+00:00

Despite the rapid growth of the global Muslim population and the Islamic economy, the precise mechanisms through which religious communication shapes promotional strategies remain insufficiently theorized in mainstream marketing literature. Existing studies are fragmented, predominantly addressing Islamic marketing broadly rather than examining the specific communicative dimensions that configure sales promotion practices. This review therefore aims to: (1) synthesize existing theoretical frameworks explaining the nexus between religious communication and promotional strategies in Islamic contexts; (2) identify the key dimensions, mechanisms, and outcomes through which religious communication shapes promotional practices; and (3) develop an integrated conceptual framework to guide future research and managerial decision-making. Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic literature review was conducted, analyzing 68 peer-reviewed articles published between January 2010 and September 2025, sourced from Scopus, Web of Science, and Emerald Insight. Thematic analysis revealed three core dimensions underpinning effective religious communication in Islamic sales promotion: authenticity-driven messaging, ethical persuasion frameworks, and community-oriented engagement. Religious communication functions not as superficial symbolism but as a fundamental strategic orientation that shapes message construction, channel selection, and stakeholder relationships. Effective Islamic sales promotion requires genuine alignment between commercial objectives and religious values, with communication serving as the mediating mechanism; brands that authentically integrate Islamic principles achieve competitive advantages through enhanced credibility and deeper consumer relationships. This review contributes original value by systematically mapping the communicative dimensions specific to Islamic sales promotion—an intersection conspicuously absent from broader Islamic marketing syntheses. It further offers a novel conceptual framework integrating religious discourse theory with contemporary marketing paradigms, providing actionable insights for the development of culturally sensitive and religiously authentic promotional campaigns.

Al-Attas’ Islamization of Science in Lakatosian Research Program Perspective

2026-02-16T13:29:46+00:00

This study addresses the growing development of the Islamization of Science concept proposed by Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas, which has evolved into a scientific paradigm and gained significant scholarly support. However, despite its wide acceptance and extensive academic discourse, there remains a lack of studies examining Al-Attas’ Islamization from a rigorous methodological perspective for the development and advancement of scientific theories. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the Islamization of Science by Al-Attas from the perspective of the Lakatosian Research Program. This research employs a library research method with qualitative data and a philosophy of science approach. The findings reveal that, first, Al-Attas’ Islamization seeks to generate a new form of science integrated with religion; second, the stages of Islamization proposed by Al-Attas are closely aligned with Lakatosian Research Methodology, consisting of a hardcore in the form of worldview, a protective belt in the form of de-westernization, a series of theories through integration, and the creation of new science through Al-Attas’ purification process. In conclusion, Al-Attas’ Islamization of Science demonstrates a systematic and progressive structure that is methodologically compatible with the Lakatosian framework. This study contributes to strengthening the methodological foundation of the Islamization of Science and enriching the discourse of philosophy of science from an Islamic perspective.
