THE INTEGRITY OF ISLAMIC BUSINESS ETHICS AMID URBAN ECONOMIC DYNAMICS: AN ANALYSIS OF M. UMER CHAPRA’S PERSPECTIVE ON MUSLIM MERCHANTS IN MARTAPURA
type: item
description: This research aims to analyze the business practices of Muslim traders in Martapura City through the framework of Islamic business ethics of Muhammad Umer Chapra, which includes justice (al-'Adl), moral motivation, spiritual accountability, and social welfare. Although Martapura is known sociologically as the “City of Santri”, the tension between traditional religiosity values and the demands of a competitive urban economy often creates ambiguities in the implementation of business ethics in the field that remain underexplored empirically. This qualitative research employed a phenomenological approach. The data was collected through in-depth interviews with eight purposively selected informants, consisting of five traders and three customers in the Martapura trading area. The results of the study show that traders have internalized the principle of fairness through transparency of scales and equal treatment to consumers. Moral motivation and spiritual accountability were reflected in the traders’ eschatological awareness, particularly their belief in the afterlife, that prevents fraudulent practices. In addition, the aspect of social welfare was manifested through the mechanism of zakat and alms that are institutionalized in the local trade culture. These findings confirm that the integrity of Islamic business ethics in Martapura is not merely expressed through individual behavior, but is also shaped by social cohesion and local religious identity, both of which function to mitigate the negative impacts of urban economic competition.

RECONSIDERING MODELS OF ISLAMIC SUB-ECONOMY IN URBAN INDONESIA: DEVELOPMENTAL ETHICS OR NEOLIBERAL LOGIC?
type: item
description: The study of the Islamic sub-economy in Indonesian cities typically links its expansion to middle-class ethical consumption and development-oriented religiosity. This article challenges that assumption by examining how Islamic moral norms translate into administrative standards, organizational procedures, and market instruments. Drawing on a qualitative analysis of multi-level regulatory and institutional documents on halal governance in Indonesia, the study investigates the institutionalization of halal values within urban economic spaces. Findings indicate that this institutionalization is driven less by consumer demand than by regulatory infrastructures that standardize, certify, and operationalize moral norms across economic sectors. Rather than acting as primary drivers, the urban Muslim middle class appears as a social group that receives, reproduces, and amplifies already-established norms. Based on these findings, the article offers a conceptual model of institutional hybridization: the four-layer hybridization model of the urban Islamic economy—comprising hybrid governance, organizational forms, urban spaces, and subjectivity. This model identifies a sequential mechanism of institutional transformation overlooked in previous studies. Religious values are thus understood not merely as organic ethical expressions but as products of institutional processes that simultaneously standardize, operationalize, and commodify morality within market-oriented governance arrangements. Documentary evidence further suggests the emergence of market-oriented governance rationalities, in which the language of ethical development serves as a source of institutional legitimacy. This study contributes to debates in Islamic political economy by shifting analytical focus from individual ethical consumption toward the regulatory infrastructures through which religious values are standardized, commodified, and circulated in contemporary urban Indonesia.

POLITICAL LITERACY AND DEMOCRATIC UNDERSTANDING IN ISLAMIC HIGHER EDUCATION: EVIDENCE FROM URBAN MUSLIM STUDENTS AT UNIVERSITAS ISLAM NEGERI RADEN INTAN LAMPUNG
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the influence of political literacy on students’ understanding of democracy among students enrolled in the Islamic Political Thought Study Program at a State Islamic University in Lampung in 2024. The study is grounded in the theoretical assumption that political literacy functions as a form of civic competence that shapes students’ capacity to understand, evaluate, and internalize democratic values and practices. This research employed a quantitative survey design using a questionnaire as the primary instrument to measure political literacy as the independent variable and understanding of democracy as the dependent variable. The population consisted of active students of the Islamic Political Thought Study Program at Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Raden Intan Lampung, with 20 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression to examine the direction and magnitude of the relationship between the two variables. The results show that political literacy has a positive and statistically significant effect on students’ understanding of democracy (p < 0.05), indicating that students with higher political literacy tend to demonstrate better understanding of democratic values, participation, and public accountability. The coefficient of determination (R²) further indicates that political literacy contributes meaningfully to explaining variation in students’ democratic understanding, although the remaining variance is influenced by factors outside the model. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening political literacy through curriculum development, student organizational engagement, and civic learning in Islamic higher education. This study contributes empirically to the development of political education research by demonstrating that political literacy plays a significant role in shaping democratic understanding among students in an Islamic academic context.

THE ROLE OF FATAYAT NU IN COUNTERING SEXTORTION AND PROTECTING WOMEN’S DIGNITY: A QUALITATIVE STUDY OF URBAN MUSLIM SOCIETY
type: item
description: This study examines sextortion as a form of gender-based sexual corruption within urban Muslim communities, particularly in educational and religious settings, and analyses the role of Fatayat Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) in addressing the culture of silence surrounding the issue. The research employed a qualitative design within an interpretive-critical paradigm. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with ten informants comprising educators, Fatayat NU cadres, urban community members, and students, as well as participant observation and document analysis. The data were analysed using thematic analysis informed by Feminist Standpoint Theory, the Spiral of Silence, social constructionism, and critical communication perspectives. The findings indicate three main themes. First, sextortion is frequently normalised through symbolic authority, moral legitimacy, and ambiguous social relations that obscure coercive practices. Second, fear of stigma, institutional reputation, and digital exposure reinforces a culture of silence, particularly among women in urban religious environments. Third, participatory communication spaces facilitated by Fatayat NU contribute to developing critical awareness and provide alternative forums for articulating women’s experiences, although these initiatives remain limited by uneven institutional support and the absence of integrated protection mechanisms. This study contributes to discussions on gendered corruption and urban Muslim communication by highlighting the relationship between patriarchal power relations, silence, and participatory religious activism in the prevention of sextortion.

RETHINKING URBAN FAMILY RESILIENCE THROUGH MAQĀṢID AL-SHARĪ‘AH: WOMEN’S ROLE TRANSFORMATION IN GORONTALO
type: item
description: This study aims to examine how Hulondhalo women, particularly those actively involved in Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) organizations in Gorontalo, interpret and perform their roles in maintaining family resilience amid the dynamics of urban society; how the synergy between Islamic moderation (wasatiyyah), local customs, and the principles of Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah shapes family resilience practices; and how NU women negotiate domestic and public roles within the context of social and digital transformation. This study employs a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design conducted in the urban area of Gorontalo, involving key informants consisting of NU women members in Gorontalo City, traditional leaders, and religious leaders selected purposively. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, and were subsequently analyzed using the interactive analysis technique of Miles and Huberman through the analytical lenses of Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah, local customs, and the principles of wasatiyyah. The findings reveal three major points. First, there is a reinterpretation of the family breadwinner role in which women contribute economically without diminishing the values of family harmony. Second, the strengthening of domestic deliberation (musyawarah) functions as a decision-making mechanism grounded in moderation values. Third, there is an integration between Gorontalo customs and the principles of Maqāṣid in constructing adaptive family norms, including the utilization of digital platforms to reinforce educational and economic family functions. The study also finds that NU women position themselves as guardians of Islamic and cultural values based on the principle of adati hula-hula’a to syar a’, syara’ hula-hula’a to Kitabullah, thereby balancing the demands of modernity with religious values. The originality of this study lies in the formulation of a synthesis framework of adat–Maqāṣid–wasatiyyah as a conceptual model of urban …

HARMONIZING EDUCATION AND SHARIA: TINGKILAN MUSIC AS A MEDIUM FOR INTERNALIZING KI HADJAR DEWANTARA’S EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY AMONG URBAN MUSLIMS
type: item
description: This study examines Tingkilan music as a cultural medium that bridges Ki Hadjar Dewantara’s educational philosophy with the principles of Islamic law in shaping the moral and cultural character of urban Muslim communities. Originating from the Kutai people of East Kalimantan, Tingkilan music has long functioned not merely as artistic expression but also as a vehicle for transmitting ethical, social, and spiritual values rooted in Islamic teachings and local wisdom. In contemporary urban contexts—where Muslims increasingly seek to balance religious commitment with cultural identity—Tingkilan offers a meaningful and culturally grounded alternative. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, this research draws upon literature analysis and in-depth interviews with local artists and cultural figures engaged in the preservation and performance of Tingkilan. The data were analyzed by correlating the aesthetic and moral dimensions of Tingkilan music with the frameworks of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah and fiqh al-ḥaḍārah, both of which emphasize the adaptability of Islamic law within dynamic cultural and social contexts. The findings demonstrate a strong convergence between the values of creativity (cipta), sensibility (rasa), and intentionality (karsa) articulated by Ki Hadjar Dewantara and the objectives of Islamic law, particularly in promoting public welfare (al-maṣlaḥah), preserving human dignity (ḥifẓ al-‘irḍ), and fostering social harmony. Through its poetic lyrics and musical form, Tingkilan functions as a form of cultural da‘wah, conveying Islamic moral messages in a subtle yet aesthetic manner that enhances their accessibility among urban Muslim audiences. This study suggests that traditional Islamic arts such as Tingkilan can play a strategic role in character education, cultural preservation, and the promotion of moderate religious engagement. Accordingly, Tingkilan music represents a practical model for harmonizing education, sharia, and local culture within contempo…

STRENGTHENING ACADEMIC CULTURE IN URBAN MADRASAH ALIYAH: A MULTIPLE CASE STUDY BASED ON TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT AT MADRASAH ALIYAH YOGYAKARTA
type: item
description: The strengthening of academic culture in urban Madrasah Aliyah has become an urgent agenda amid increasing institutional competition, public accountability demands, and the transformation of Islamic secondary education in Indonesia. While numerous studies have addressed school quality improvement, limited research specifically examines how Total Quality Management (TQM) is systematically operationalized to construct a sustainable academic culture within urban madrasah settings. This study aims to explore and critically analyze the implementation of TQM principles in strengthening a sustainable academic culture across selected urban madrasah contexts. Using a qualitative multiple case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with principals, teachers, and quality assurance teams, supported by classroom observation and institutional document analysis. The findings demonstrate that academic culture strengthening is not merely programmatic but structurally embedded through five interrelated dimensions: visionary leadership grounded in quality commitment, continuous improvement in pedagogical practices, data-driven evaluation systems, collaborative teamwork mechanisms, and integration of Islamic values with academic performance standards. The study argues that TQM in urban madrasah functions as a cultural transformation framework rather than a managerial tool alone. This research contributes to the development of Islamic education management by contextualizing TQM within the sociocultural dynamics of urban madrasah and offering an integrative model that bridges managerial efficiency with value-based educational orientation. The findings offer both conceptual refinement and practical implications for enhancing a competitive yet value-driven academic culture in Islamic secondary education institutions.

PHILANTHROPIC DA’WAH ON SOCIAL MEDIA: INFLUENCE ON CHARITABLE ATTITUDES OF URBAN MUSLIMS IN BANDAR LAMPUNG
type: item
description: Digital philanthropic da’wah on social media has emerged as a significant force shaping charitable engagement among urban Muslim communities; yet, the psychological mechanisms through which media exposure translates into attitudinal change remain underexplored in the Indonesian context. Grounded in the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) theoretical framework, this study examines how exposure to digital philanthropic da’wah influences the charitable attitudes of urban Muslims in Bandar Lampung. Employing a convergent mixed-methods design, the study integrates a quantitative survey of 100 respondents drawn from the BAZNAS Bandar Lampung donor database with in-depth interviews of 15 purposively selected participants. Regression analysis reveals a significant positive effect of digital da’wah exposure on charitable attitudes (β = 0.581, R² = 0.338, F = 49.982, p < 0.001), with the strongest influence found in the cognitive dimension (R² = 32.4%), followed by affective (R² = 28.0%) and conative aspects (R² = 22.7%). Qualitative findings uncover five key themes: emotional resonance with content, credibility concerns, motivation for social engagement, heightened awareness, and perceived ease of donating. This study contributes a dual-perspective S-O-R analysis of Islamic digital philanthropy in a mid-sized Indonesian city, demonstrating that cognitive awareness is the primary mechanism of attitude formation while conative conversion remains constrained by institutional trust deficits. These findings offer strategic guidance for Islamic philanthropic organizations and digital da'i seeking to design credible, informationally rich, and behaviorally effective campaigns

DETERMINANTS OF ISLAMIC DIGITAL WALLET ACCEPTANCE AMONG URBAN MUSLIM YOUTH: INTEGRATING TAM, TPB, AND RELIGIOSITY
type: item
description: Islamic digital wallets require distinct scholarly attention from conventional digital wallets because their adoption is not only shaped by technological convenience, but also by religious values, Sharia compliance, and users’ perceptions of Islamic financial practices. However, empirical studies on Islamic e-wallet adoption remain limited, particularly those integrating by integrating the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), and religiosity among Muslim youth in urban Indonesia. This research examines the factors that influence the intention of urban Muslim youth to use Islamic digital wallets. Using a quantitative methodology, the study collected data from 100 respondents through purposive sampling. Muslim Generation Z users of Islamic e-wallets in Surabaya City were specifically targeted via an online survey. Data analysis was conducted with multiple linear regression in SPSS Version 29. The results reveal that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, religiosity, attitude toward behavior, and perceived behavioral control have a significant and positive effect on the intention to use Islamic e-wallets, while subjective norm shows a significant negative effect on adoption intention. The study asserts that Islamic digital wallet adoption should be understood as a multidimensional phenomenon that combines digital service quality, behavioral intention, and faith-based financial values, with broader implications for strengthening Islamic digital finance and advancing inclusive Sharia-compliant financial services.

THE EROSION OF AL-MAWADDAH AND AR-RAHMAH VALUES IN MUSLIM MARRIAGES: A SOCIO-RELIGIOUS ANALYSIS OF MARITAL DYNAMICS IN LOMBOK
type: item
description: This study examines the dynamics of marital relationships within the Muslim community of Lombok, where high religiosity does not necessarily correspond to the achievement of the noble purposes of marriage. The high divorce rate is taken as evidence of difficulties in realizing the values of al-mawaddah (love) and ar-rahmah (compassion) within marital life. Employing a descriptive-analytic approach, the research integrates social exchange theory and a socio-religious framework, supported by empirical data on divorce rates. The findings indicate that the erosion of al-mawaddah and ar-rahmah values stems from a paradigm shift-from a marriage model grounded in mutual rights and obligations to one emphasizing individual freedom. This shift leads to emotional imbalance, communication breakdown, rising expectations and transformations in social values. From an Islamic perspective, marriage is not merely a transactional contract but a sacred covenant (mitsaqan ghalidzan) imbued with religious meaning. Al-mawaddah generates deep emotional attachment, while ar-rahmah nurtures endurance, patience, and sacrifice, thereby reinforcing marital harmony. The study contributes to understanding social changes within the marital institution in Lombok and underscores the significance of al-mawaddah and ar-rahmah as essential principles in sustaining marital stability and preventing divorce.

AN INTERLEGALITY-BASED ETHNOGRAPHY OF LIVING FIQH IN MINANGKABAU MARRIAGE PRACTICES
type: item
description: This article explores the issue of ethnographic-based interlegality of living fiqh in Minangkabau marriage practices. The purpose is to explain the uniqueness of negotiation and the embodiment of Islamic jurisprudence within Minangkabau socio-cultural settings. This study emphasizes the cognitive biases of the dichotomy between local-global, peripheral-central, and traditional-modern. The data examined came from the experience of the Minangkabau community in internalizing Islamic marriage law as a living legal practice, ranging from the marriage procedure, marriage contract, walimah, mediation, to divorce. This research collected, analyzed, and interpreted empirical legal data that reveals the integration of Islamic, customary and state legal norms in marriage practice. The findings of this study show the existence of a legal tripartite legal construction: first, the practice of customary marriage formed by Islamic jurisprudence. Second, the awareness of Islamic law is influenced by customary law. Third, the regulatory intervention of the state that wants the formation of harmonization between customs and Islam. This study has implications for living fiqh literacy which shows the universal principles of sharia law in cross-cultural life.

CONTRIBUTION OF SYIRKAH ‘INAN TOWARDS THE ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE OF THE COMMUNITY OF MAGELANG CITY, CENTRAL JAVA
type: item
description: This study is centered on exploring the implementation of Syirkah ‘Inan model as a strategy to build economic independence for lower-middle-class communities in Magelang City through organic fertilizer production. Therefore, a qualitative method and case study were adopted, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The interview session was held with business actors, cooperation partners, local religious leaders, and related communities. The results showed that Syirkah ‘Inan functioned as an adaptive strategy to limited access to capital from conventional financial institutions. This was realized by facilitating the accumulation of interest-free collective capital through a fair and participatory partnership pattern. In addition, the internalization of Islamic values was ​​reflected through orientation towards blessings, halal, and social responsibility rather than profit. This was supported by the Selapanan Forum (meeting every 35 days), an institutional innovation that integrated educational, managerial, and spiritual dimensions. The practice of Syirkah ‘Inan produced transformational impacts in three dimensions, namely economic (increased income and financial stability), social (strengthening community solidarity), and spiritual (cultivating values ​​of honesty and trustworthiness). These attributes led to individual economic independence and community resilience that does not depend on external market mechanisms, rather on the endogenous strength of the community. Theoretically, the study reported the relevance of the Islamic jurisprudence principle in the context of modern economic. It showed that Islamic economic was an effective operational system starting from the micro-community level. As a result, Syirkah ‘Inan model was proven to be a theologically relevant and socially effective alternative for empowerment in building sustainable economic independence.

ZAKAT FUND DISTRIBUTION MODULE THROUGH COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT PROGRAMS AT THE NATIONAL BOARD OF ZAKAT IN INDONESIA: A STUDY AT BAZNAS LAMPUNG PROVINCE
type: item
description: This study scrutinizes structural deficiencies in the governance of productive zakat distribution at BAZNAS Lampung Province, specifically focusing on the absence of empowerment-based distribution modules, mentorship practices that lack clear and measurable competency frameworks, and insufficient long-term monitoring mechanisms. Adopting a normative and empirical approach, the research derives data from in-depth interviews with amil and mustahik, complemented by an analysis of regulatory and institutional documents. Findings indicate that distribution remains predominantly administrative, mentorship lacks measurable competency indicators, and evaluation systems fail to capture sustained trajectories of mustahik business development. The novelty of this research lies in the formulation of an integrated module synthesizing legal perspectives, empowerment theory, and empirical practices to fortify zakat governance. The proposed module encompasses initial assessments, competency-based mentorship, and long-term performance evaluation systems. Theoretically, this study enriches the discourse on zakat governance; practically, it offers a replicable operational model to enhance accountability and mustahik self-reliance.

NIDHAL GUESSOUM’S METHOD OF SCIENTIFIC INTERPRETATION: AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON AL-AYAH AL-KAUNIYYAH AND ITS RELEVANCE TO THE CONTEMPORARY URBAN MUSLIM SOCIETY
type: item
description: The scientific interpretation of the Qur’an seeks to reconcile revelation with modern science through a rational and contextual approach. Within this field, Nidhal Guessoum, an astrophysicist and philosopher, emerges as a central figure who challenges the iʿjāz ʿilmi paradigm and literalist readings by proposing a multi-layered hermeneutic grounded in theology, language, and ethics. This study addresses the ongoing academic debate between iʿjāz ʿilmi advocates and critical contextualists, identifying the lack of systematic criteria for evaluating scientific interpretation as its primary research gap. The novelty of this research lies in operationalizing Guessoum’s method into a structured analytical framework applicable to contemporary studies. using a qualitative library-based method, the analysis employs close reading and thematic coding across theological, linguistic, and ethical dimensions, followed by a comparative appraisal to trace convergence and divergence between the two frameworks. The findings reveal, first, that Guessoum’s model balances scientific rationality with theological integrity through contextual interpretation; second, it redefines tafsīr ʿilmi as an ethical engagement rather than empirical validation; and third, it provides an interpretive model adaptable to urban Muslim contexts navigating faith and modernity. However, Guessoum’s method offers a critical yet constructive bridge between revelation and scientific inquiry. It contributes theoretically by refining evaluative tools for Qur’anic science discourse and practically by providing implications for educators and urban Muslim institutions to integrate scientific literacy with faith-based education.

NYADRAN TRADITION AND THE DYNAMICS OF RELIGIOUS MODERATION IN URBAN MUSLIM COMMUNITIES: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC STUDY IN NGAYUNG, EAST JAVA
type: item
description: Strengthening religious moderation in Indonesia is urgent nowadays due to the increasing level of global polarization and religious sectarianism. Here, the university and pesantren’s roles are crucial. However, local tradition containing similar values has not received proper attention, both from policymakers and academia. Therefore, this article explores the nyadran tradition in Ngayung Village, Lamongan, East Java as an example of Islamic moderation based on Javanese wisdom. This article addresses how nyadran serves as a mediator to maintain interreligious harmony in an Islamic moderation perspective carried out through tawasuth, tasamuh, i'tidal, al-Iṣlāḥ, al-qudwah, and muwāṭanah. This study utilized a qualitative ethnographic approach. During the six-month data collection, researchers employed participant observation, in-depth interviews with 18 informants, including religious leaders, village elders and youth, and document analysis. The findings indicate that nyadran offers a microcosmic example of Islamic dialogical life because of its inclusive nature of people from various social backgrounds and religious persuasions. Besides holding on to tradition, the community also creatively reinterprets nyadran as tathawwur wa ibtikār amidst the burgeoning influence of urban religiosity and digital religious narratives. Analytically, nyadran functions as a hybrid social mechanism bridging rural piety and urban religious awareness, resulting in a culturally rooted form of religious moderation. This study contributes to strengthening religious moderation discourse by demonstrating local traditions as a sustainable framework for maintaining harmony in an increasingly diverse and modern Indonesian Muslim society.

SECOND ACCOUNT INSTAGRAM AS SPIRITUAL SPACES FOR URBAN SUFIS AND SELF-EXPRESSION ON SOCIAL MEDIA
type: item
description: The existence of social demands and ideal images that must be maintained on their main Instagram accounts limits students' interactions. To express their more honest personal sides, many students choose to create second Instagram accounts as a space for freer and more authentic expression. This study aims to understand how PAI UIN Palangka Raya students use their second Instagram accounts as a means of self-expression and personal spirituality. Using a mixed method with a Sequential Explanatory design, data were collected through questionnaires (Google Form) and in-depth interviews, then analyzed using SPSS 27. The research findings show that the use of Instagram second accounts and the level of self-expression of PAI students are in the moderate category, with an average of 36.75 and 35.50, respectively. Regression analysis shows a positive and significant effect of the second account on self-expression (B = 0.585; p = 0.000), meaning that the more active students in using their second account, the higher their self-expression on social media. Behind this data, it turns out that Instagram is not only a means of social communication, but also a space for reflection in line with urban Sufism values to integrate modern life with spiritual practices. Students post spiritual reflections, prayers, and feelings that cannot be displayed on their main accounts. These findings have implications for educational institutions, particularly Islamic Education Study Programs, to take advantage of this phenomenon as an opportunity to encourage students to express religious and humanitarian values creatively on social media, while maintaining academic ethics and norms.

UNVEILING THE ESSENCE OF WORLDLY LIFE THROUGH THE PERSPECTIVE OF TASAWUF IRFANI: A STUDY ON ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR INDONESIAN URBAN MUSLIM SOCIETY
type: item
description: This study examines the essence of world life through Tasawuf Irfani, which emphasizes intellectual understanding of divine knowledge and soul purification. It explores how these teachings shape Indonesian Muslims' perspectives on materialism, wealth, and life's true purpose. The study emphasizes the increasing focus on how Tasawuf Irfani tackles materialism, consumerism, and spiritual fulfillment, while existing literature mainly explores its philosophical aspects, neglecting its practical implementation in Indonesian society. This qualitative study uses literature review and textual analysis to explore Tasawuf Irfani’s teachings, Islamic views on worldly life, and their impact on socio-economic behaviors, focusing on the balance between material success and spiritual growth in Indonesia. The results reveal that Tasawuf Irfani provides a profound critique of materialism and consumerism, encouraging Indonesian Muslims to view wealth and worldly success as tools for spiritual growth rather than ultimate goals. It also fosters qualities such as humility, moderation and social responsibility. On the other hand, the study points out challenges like the risk of overly disengaging from material pursuits, which may result in limited involvement with pressing social issues in a pragmatic sense. Tasawuf Irfani concludes with a spiritually based perspective concerning wealth and success, suggesting potential integration within education and community initiatives to alleviate socio-economic issues in Indonesia, which can be the focus of future research.

URBAN MUSLIM PREFERENCES AND THE USE OF SHARIA MONETARY INSTRUMENTS: A CASE STUDY IN PEKALONGAN
type: item
description: This study explores urban Muslims’ preferences in Pekalongan for sharia monetary instruments—sukuk, mudharabah, and murabahah—focusing on their adoption in supporting MSMEs, particularly in the batik sector. Using a descriptive qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, it draws on OJK and BPS Pekalongan data alongside scholarly literature, but requires clearer justification for how these sources are integrated analytically. Findings highlight a preference for mudharabah and murabahah due to their alignment with Islamic ethical values and practical utility for MSMEs, while sukuk is underutilized due to its complexity and limited local relevance. Key drivers of adoption include strong Islamic identity, expanding sharia banking and fintech, and batik cooperatives, with barriers such as low sharia financial literacy (39.11%), regulatory gaps, and competition from conventional systems. The study proposes a Localized Islamic Financial Adoption Model inclusion framework combining maqasid al-shariah and diffusion of innovations theory, emphasizing cultural identity, literacy, and regulation. It recommends tailored financial education and local regulatory enhancements to strengthen Pekalongan’s sharia financial ecosystem, offering a model for other small Indonesian cities.

NAVIGATING MODERN CHALLENGES IN ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION IN URBAN MUSLIM COMMUNITIES
type: item
description: This study examines how Islamic schools in urbanized areas of East Kutai, a district in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, navigate pedagogical adaptation, maintain religious authenticity, and address the impact of student diversity. While East Kutai is geographically a district, its urbanized centers, particularly in towns like Sangatta, have seen rapid development, leading to an increasingly diverse student population and a blend of traditional and modern educational approaches. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study collected survey data from 309 students and conducted interviews with 36 teachers, parents, and students across four Islamic schools in the region. The findings reveal that blended learning models enhance engagement but require contextual adaptation to preserve religious depth. Privately funded schools demonstrate greater adaptability, while government-funded madrasahs face resource limitations. Additionally, cultural diversity enriches classroom discussions but complicates standardized learning. The study highlights the need for hybrid pedagogical strategies integrating digital tools without compromising theological integrity. Policymakers must address funding disparities and support teacher training to ensure inclusive, high-quality IRE. This research contributes to the discourse on religious education by proposing a contextualized digital adaptation model, offering practical recommendations for sustaining Islamic educational identity in urbanized settings.

THE STRATEGY OF COLLECTING ZAKAT, INFAQ, AND SHODAQOH FUNDS FROM ORPHANAGE INSTITUTIONS IN URBAN MUSLIM COMMUNITIES IN BANDAR LAMPUNG
type: item
description: The research was motivated by the reduced interest of the Muzakki in channeling funds, both zakat, infaq, and shodaqoh, at the Amil Zakat Institution. Therefore, a good fundraising strategy is needed at the Amil Zakat Institution to increase interest and channeling of zakat funds by Muzakki, so that the objectives of the Amil Zakat Institution are achieved. The collection of Zakat, Infaq, and Shodaqoh (ZIS) funds is one of the important aspects of Islamic wealth management. The purpose of this research is to analyze the effective ZIS collection strategy at Amil Zakat Institution. This type of research is field research with a qualitative approach, with a case study method at one of the Amil Zakat Institutions (LAZ) at Rumah Yatim in the Bandar Lampung Region. The data collection method uses observation, interview, and documentation. This data was analyzed with an inductive approach to draw general conclusions from the specific data collected. The results showed that effective ZIS fundraising strategies include: Increasing public awareness through campaigns and education related to zakat; Optimizing the use of information technology, such as mobile applications, websites and social media; Partnership with government agencies and private companies in the management of professional zakat and corporate zakat; Improving services and ease of ZIS payment; Strengthening human resources and collection infrastructure. From this study, Amil Zakat institutions must design innovative and adaptive ZIS fund collection strategies in line with current developments to maximize the potential of ZIS funds for the welfare of the community.

PESANTREN WOMEN COMMUNITY'S RESPONSE TO THE INDONESIAN ULEMA COUNCIL (MUI) FATWA ON PALESTINE: A PORTRAIT OF URBAN MUSLIM RELIGIOUS LIFE IN METRO CITY
type: item
description: This study examines the religious responses of pesantren-based Muslim women in urban Indonesia to the fatwa issued by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) supporting Palestine. The research focuses on the Jam'iyyah Perempuan Pengasuh Pesantren dan Muballighah (JP3M) in Metro City, employing a qualitative phenomenological approach through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The findings reveal three main dimensions in interpreting the fatwa: Islamic solidarity (ukhuwah Islamiyah), humanitarian solidarity (ukhuwah insaniyah), and contextual understanding. These dimensions manifest in community actions such as fundraising, digital campaigns, and public education, integrating religious values with modern practices. The study indicates that religious literacy, access to global information, and local social dynamics shape the religious expressions of urban Muslim women. However, the geographically limited context of Metro City may influence the findings due to regional cultural factors, community social structures, and institutional access, which may not reflect other urban settings. Therefore, comparative studies involving similar communities across diverse regions must capture a broader spectrum of religious responses. Moreover, a multidisciplinary approach combining perspectives from sociology, religious studies, and digital technology is essential to provide a more comprehensive and contextually relevant analysis of this complex global religious phenomenon.

FOSTERING BALANCED THINKING THROUGH HOLISTIC MODERATION EDUCATION: A STUDY OF THE URBAN MUSLIM SOCIETY
type: item
description: This study examines the application of moderation education based on a holistic approach as the key to building a balance of thinking to overcome radicalism and intolerance, especially in the context of the Contemporary Urban Muslim Society. This holistic approach integrates intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects to form a moderate, tolerant, and open-minded character, relevant to urban challenges such as cultural pluralism, secularism, and global information penetration. The study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach to explore the lived experiences and perspectives of students, educators, principals, and parents in educational institutions implementing holistic moderation education. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis to understand how moderation values are internalized in everyday learning practices. The findings show that the balance of thought resulting from holistic education effectively enhances critical thinking, empathy, and appreciation for diversity, key foundations in preventing extremism. In urban Muslim communities, interactive learning methods such as group discussions, cross-cultural studies, and project-based learning are essential to support the internalization of moderate values in complex social environments. The novelty of this study lies in its phenomenological insight into how holistic education fosters inclusive, progressive, and peace-oriented Muslim youth. However, the scope of this study is limited to urban Muslim settings, and the findings may not fully represent broader or rural contexts. This approach is expected to offer a contextual model for cultivating tolerance and resilience in global social dynamics while staying rooted in Islamic values.

IBN ARABI’S HERMENEUTICS AS AN ALTERNATIVE RELIGIOUS EXEGESIS FOR CONTEMPORARY URBAN MUSLIM COMMUNITIES
type: item
description: The understanding of religious texts in contemporary Muslim communities is often dominated by a rigid literal approach that overlooks the inner dimensions and social contexts. In facing the challenges of modernity, pluralism, and the complexities of urban life, an alternative interpretation that is more inclusive and flexible is needed. Ibn Arabi, a Sufi and Islamic philosopher, offers profound hermeneutics through the power of imagination, symbolism, ‘irfani epistemology, and his mystical system of knowledge. This study aims to explore Ibn Arabi’s hermeneutical concepts as an alternative religious interpretation relevant to contemporary urban Muslim communities. The method employed is a literature review using a hermeneutical approach, involving an in-depth analysis of Ibn Arabi’s major works, such as al-Futuhat al-Makiyyah and Fusus al-Hikam, along with modern interpretations of his intellectual legacy. The findings reveal that Ibn Arabi’s hermeneutics provide a strong foundation for understanding religious texts more holistically, integrating the inner and outer dimensions through methods such as ta’wil, kashf, and mushahadah. Ibn Arabi’s approach is relevant for urban communities as it bridges tradition and modernity, fostering a spiritual, inclusive, and contextual understanding of religion. His intellectual legacy not only addresses the challenges of modern religious interpretation but also opens up spaces for dialogue between Islamic traditions and contemporary societal needs.

AN ANALYSIS OF ISLAMIC BUSINESS ETHICS AMONG MUSLIM TRADERS WITHIN THE CONTEMPORARY URBAN MUSLIM SOCIETY OF THE CITY OF THOUSAND CHURCHES
type: item
description: Islam recognizes the urge to engage in commercial operations and does not forbid such activities; in fact, business activities can be an element of worship if done according to Islamic code of ethics. This principle becomes particularly relevant in analyzing the business practices of Muslim traders within the contemporary urban Muslim society of the City of Thousand Churches. The purpose of this article is to meticulously map the business practices of urban Muslim traders in the city of a thousand churches, using Rafik Issa Beekun's theory of Islamic business ethics, as well as theory indicators such as unity, equilibrium, freewill, responsibility, and benevolence. This study used a descriptive qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. A total of six informants, consisting of four women and two men who are Muslim traders in urban Manado, were selected to provide in-depth information based on their business experiences within the predominantly non-Muslim society. The data collected from these interviews were analyzed using the framework of Islamic business ethics to explore the ethical practices applied by these traders. The findings of this study demonstrate that practically all informants who operate as traders in the Urban Manado area met the five markers of Islamic business ethics theory. Although two traders' practices do not match the Free Will indicator, this has no substantial impact because they can still be improved through socialization. It may be inferred that, despite the fact that Muslim traders reside in a minority area, trade practices consistent with Islamic business ethics are nonetheless widely practiced by traders in Manado's urban centre, known as the city of a thousand churches.

CONTEMPORARY THEOLOGICAL ISSUES IN URBAN SOCIETY: A REVIEW OF QASIM MATHAR'S ISLAMIC THOUGHT AND HIS CONTRIBUTION TO BUILDING THEOLOGICAL AWARENESS IN MAKASSAR, SOUTH SULAWESI
type: item
description: Due to the rapid development of information technology, the world is increasingly open. This causes the people of the world be intensely connected to each other. The diversity of cultures, beliefs, and religious practices is becoming more open. If society is not educated about the importance of diversity awareness, then conflict can occur. This study discusses the thoughts of Moh. Qasim Mathar on contemporary theological issues and his contribution to building theological awareness in the city of Makassar. The data collection method was carried out through an in-depth study of his thoughts (content analysis) which were published periodically in the mass media through the Jendela Langit column in the Fajar Newspaper, as well as through in-depth interviews with a number of sources.

THE PRACTICE OF UDDER ENGINEERING IN LIVESTOCK TRADE WITHIN URBAN MEDAN COMMUNITIES: PERSPECTIVE OF SHARIA ECONOMIC LAW
type: item
description: Animal trafficking in Medan City often involves illegal practices, including udder engineering. This research aims to analyze this practice within the framework of Sharia economic law, particularly through the lens of relevant Hadiths, and to provide actionable recommendations based on the findings. A qualitative approach, utilizing literature analysis, was employed to gather data from Hadiths, fatwas of Islamic scholars, and related Sharia economic law literature. The analysis was conducted both descriptively and analytically to explore the Sharia implications of udder engineering. The results indicate that udder engineering is a form of fraud explicitly prohibited in Islam. A Hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah forbids the mixing of milk from camels or goats to deceive buyers, allowing them to return the animal within three days if deceived and receive compensation. Sharia economic law emphasizes honesty, fairness, and transparency in trade. Udder engineering violates these principles by deceiving buyers, constituting a form of tadlis (fraud) that is prohibited in Islamic law. The study concludes that udder engineering not only undermines market trust and integrity but also directly contravenes key principles of Sharia economic law, particularly those related to honesty and fairness in transactions.

WASAṬIYYA AND THE URBAN MUSLIM MINORITY STATE: THE NCMF AND THE INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF ISLAMIC MODERATION IN THE PHILIPPINES
type: item
description: This paper argues that the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) plays a vital role in facilitating the inclusion and participation of marginalized Muslim minorities into the Philippine nation-state's development framework. While there have been extensive studies on how Wasaṭiyya was adopted by some Southeast Asian countries, little is known about this principle in the Philippines and how the government can utilize its state institutions like NCMF to address inclusion and welfare of its Muslim minority population. This study asks: How does the NCMF embodies and implements Wasaṭiyya principles in its mandates and programs for Muslim Filipinos? Specifically, through its diverse government programs and activities across key domains, NCMF substantively actualizes the principles of Wasaṭiyya - the Islamic values of moderation, justice, balance, ease, striving for excellence, and public good. The NCMF was chosen as the focus due to its unique position as the primary state body for Muslim affairs, offering a contemporary lens on minority governance. Thereby, it translates the abstract philosophical virtues into practical accommodation policies and arrangements that oblige the state's commitments and responsibilities towards respecting and upholding the identity, rights, welfare, and dignity of Muslim Filipinos. Furthermore, this paper argues that rather than coercive assimilation under a forced 'Filipino' identity construction, the Philippine government’s accommodation policies through the NCMF's cultivation of cultural sensitivity allow groups to access equitable progress and development of Muslim Filipino minorities. NCMF’s interventions enable vulnerable minorities to transition towards becoming stakeholders shaping an inclusive shared future. Institutionalizing Wasaṭiyya through the NCMF is crucial for the Philippines as it provides a culturally sensitive approach to Muslim minority integration, potentially mitigating historical tensions and fostering sustaina…
