Contemporary Legal Problems of Sharia Insurance Regulation in Indonesia

Objective: This study aims to examine the evolving structure of the insurance industry in Indonesia, particularly its transition from traditional insurance to dual insurance systems, highlighting the presence of the Sharia insurance sector within the national legislative framework.
 
 Theoretical framework: In the realm of Islamic economic studies, fundamental principles such as justice, mutual assistance, the avoidance of oppression, prohibition of riba (interest), and the elimination of gharar elements are central. Sharia-compliant insurance institutions are expected to adhere to these principles while also developing an independent, integrated, and professionally managed insurance framework that aligns with Islamic Shariah. To ensure compliance, each insurance company must establish a Shariah Supervisory Board (Dewan Pengurus Syariah).
 
 Method: This research adopts a normative legal research approach, analyzing primary, secondary, and tertiary legal resources sourced from academic papers and libraries to address the legal challenges of establishing Sharia insurance under existing positive legislation.
 
 Results and conclusion: The findings of this study include First, there is no specific law that governs Sharia insurance, there are no implementation rules for Law No. 40/2014, which governs Sharia insurance, and there is no regulation regarding the typical Sharia policy. These current legal issues make it difficult to set up Sharia insurance under positive law. Second, the specialized arrangement in a Law (lex specialis) of Law No. 40 of 2014 is the optimum Sharia insurance arrangement model following the favorable legal prospects.
 
 Originality/value: This research contributes to the understanding of the legal challenges and intricacies of Sharia insurance regulation in the context of Indonesia's insurance industry transformation. It provides valuable insights into the intersection of Islamic economic principles and contemporary insurance practices, offering a basis for further exploration and policy development in this critical area.

Covenants in the Qurʾān

Covenant (‘ahd and mīthāq) occupies a central place in the Qurʾān but has been understudied and underrepresented in discourses about Islam. This article contributes to redressing this lacuna by conducting a content analysis of the Qurʾān, specifically the terms ‘ahd and mīthāq that refer to the concept of covenant. It applies the Maqāṣid Methodology and Framework developed by Jasser Auda to examine the concepts, objectives, values, commands, universal laws, groups, and proofs associated with covenants in the Qurʾān. Reading the Qurʾān in light of covenants provides a new perspective on issues of human existence and coexistence, including interreligious relations, coexistence with non-Muslims, and conditions governing the legitimate use of armed force in Islam. The article highlights the centrality and significance of covenants in the Qurʾān and contends that the study of covenants in the Qurʾān and sunnah ought to be integrated into Islamic studies curricula.

The discussion method is a way of presenting teaching materials with the teacher giving students or groups the opportunity to hold scientific discussions in order to gather opinions, make conclusions, or develop various alternative solutions to a problem. Meanwhile, learning outcomes are the value of student learning outcomes in Islamic religious education subjects. So in this research, in the field of Islamic religious education, the goal is to guide students to better know and understand the procedures related to changes in a Muslim, both in relation to God, humans and nature so that the objectives of learning can be achieved. This research is correlational research with two variables, namely the first variable X (discussion method) and variable Y (learning outcomes). The target population is all students at the MAN 1 Tangerang School, totaling 742. And the target population for class XI MAN 1 Tangerang is 117 students. The sample was taken using the Non Probability Quota technique, namely in class XI as many as 38 students. And researchers use product moment analysis. The results of calculations using the product moment correlation formula obtained a calculated r of 0.34, then the results were compared with the tabael r with a significance level of 5%, which was 0.32, meaning the calculated r was greater than the table r. Thus the null hypothesis which states that there is no significant positive influence between the discussion method on student learning outcomes in the field of Islamic religious education is rejected.

Defining the Calling to Islam in Europe

This paper provides a point of view on Islamic daʿwa (inviting to Islam) as interpreted in the European context by the European Council for Fatwa and Research (ECFR), the centre established in 1997 to deliver religious and legal guidance to Muslims in Europe. By using the approach of global Islam studies (Green 2020), the paper’s goal is to look at the modern development of daʿwa as a multipurpose tool that shapes the role of Muslims in Europe, as well as the relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims and the way the Islamic message is conveyed. As the paper’s conclusion illustrates, daʿwa is a complex concept, especially in countries where Islam is a minority religion. If it is taken as a matter of proselytizing, then the ECFR does not prioritize conversion of non-Muslims over other goals. Instead, the act of spreading Islam among Muslims and non-Muslims in Europe is the way to keep the community together, to read the Islamic tradition in a novel way, to change the perception of European Muslims, to fight Islamophobia, and to find a place as a minority religious community. The study is based on the analysis of European Council for Fatwa and Research publications between 1997 and 2020. The first section of the paper provides the theoretical framework used to frame the topic in scholarship. Therefore, it presents a short introduction to the concept of daʿwa as shaped by classical sources to the present day. The article then provides an analysis of the ECFR’s interpretation of the concept by drawing from the texts and context. Before the conclusion, the last part discusses how the Council’s interpretation of daʿwa is shaping contemporary Islam in Europe. Key words: Islamic daʿwa, Calling to Islam in Europe, Global Islam in Europe, Islamic law, Muslim minorities

The article describes the contribution of a prominent Russian philosopher professor Rafael Rakh-matullin to the development of domestic Islamic studies. His unusual entry into the academic sphere and teaching activities in higher education, his personal participation in one of the Sufi tariqas (brotherhoods) over a period of several years allowed Rafael Rakhmatullin to develop and leave a rich creative legacy on the problems of Islamic studies: both from the point of view of reli-gious studies, and from the standpoint of a deep theological research into the most important prob-lems of modern Islamic doctrine, while preserving the secular philosophical discourse of analysis.

«Науки об исламе» и «науки ислама»: тождество и различия

On the assumption of the identity and differences between the “sciences of Islam” and “Islamic sci-ences”, the peculiarities of their subject matter, logic, and methodology of knowledge, the author substantiates the significance of combining the efforts and potential of various branches of Islamic studies in order to create the image of Islam adequate to the in-depth essence and forms of the Mus-lim religion and to overcome the stereotypical ideas thereof. The specific features of the “sciences of Islam” are derived from their initial focus on developing a value-neutral image of Islam formed by an outside researcher guided by the criteria of social and humanitarian knowledge. “Islamic scienc-es” are associated with their traditional orientation towards understanding Islam from within the religion itself, on the basis of unconditional faith in One Allah, the Islamic understanding of the world and man, as well as the cult, norms of behavior, and principles of Islamic doctrine prescribed from above. The article substantiates the danger of a content-related transformation of “Islamic sci-ences”, the prospect of losing their confessional essence and meaning in the event of their forced transformation into a scientific discipline that meets the criteria of social and humanitarian knowledge. Another subject to the author’s critical consideration is Islamology, which in recent dec-ades has established itself as a borderline branch of Islamic knowledge formed according to the can-ons of post-non-classical science. It is noted that Islamology, declaring itself a discipline that meets international standards of science, is based on the principles of critical analysis and dialogue with various humanities and social sciences and focuses on the paradigm of understanding God as the true goal of a scientist, actually transforms the problem of understanding the essence and existence of Islam into the problem of the essence and existence of Allah, which has always been and still re-mains the pivot of theology/theology of Islam.

Analysis of Student Learning Motivation in Communication Education Courses in The Islamic Religion Study Program, Faculty of Islamic Religion, Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara

In higher education, especially at the Muhammadiyah University of North Sumatra, there are various kinds of platforms that can be used to develop students' interests, talents and creativity. One of the faculties at the Muhammadiyah University of North Sumatra is the Faculty of Islamic Religion. Student success in learning on campus can be seen through learning achievements shown in the Achievement Index (IP). Learning achievement is a point of attention that becomes a benchmark for student success in their learning process over a certain period of time. Students with high learning achievements can be interpreted as having been successful in their studies. Student success in learning achievement is influenced by several things, one of which is the student's activeness, especially communication science. A student must have communication skills such as public speaking, students can develop and apply the skills they have and can also train leadership skills. However, if you want to take part in the social field, communication science is needed everywhere. Speaking skills support students in becoming content creators, leaders and others, to increase their particular attractiveness.

Pengkajian Agama Secara Historis

As we know that history cannot be separated from a series of events limited by the space and time in which the events occurred. Many people say that history is something static that cannot be repeated based on its context. Along with the development of human knowledge and the potential for great curiosity, it has influenced people's perspectives on history, which used to consider history as static, rigid, and even without any contribution to the advancement of scientific studies. However, this view has been shaken by the struggle of Islamic studies, where history is always dynamic, following the "pulse" of human civilization development. This article uses a heuristic method with critical analysis based on primary books, to dissect the uniqueness of the past that has a unique influence on the present and future. In this context, the effort to link the relevance of Islamic education as a field of life facing challenges is studied from various perspectives, including the historical perspective. At this point, the dynamism of Islamic education can mean developing scientific knowledge.

Bribery in the Workplace: A Field Experiment on the Threat of Making Group Behavior Visible

Can reputational threat among coworkers reduce bribery in organizations? I exploit within- and across-organizational variation in bribery to design and implement a field experiment in the maternity wards of five Moroccan public hospitals. I test whether threatening to reveal information about ward workers’ involvement in bribery to their coworkers dissuades them from taking bribes from patients. Healthcare workers cut back on taking bribes in higher-incidence maternity wards but not in lower-incidence wards. Qualitative data show that bribery’s baseline incidence sets the costs of revealing. Workers tolerate only so much bribery in their wards before they face the negative social consequences of belonging to a work group that takes bribes. They thus correct their behavior when it crosses a threshold. Moreover, ineffective applications of the field interventions betrayed welfare-diminishing effects. I furnish evidence for a novel kind of policy lever against workplace bribery and shed new light on the dynamics of bribery inside organizations.

Sex Education in Islamic Curricula: The Saudi Context

The current study aims to identify female Islamic studies teachers’ attitudes towards including sex education concepts and to ascertain how many such concepts are included in the Islamic studies and Islamic culture textbooks for general education at elementary, intermediate, and higher levels in Saudi Arabia. The study also explores how Islamic studies teachers’ perspectives regarding sex education statistically relate to their academic background, years of experience, and level of education. The study uses a descriptive methodology and administers a questionnaire to 450 female Islamic studies instructors and a content analysis card to the texts on Islamic studies and culture. The survey concluded that the applicants favoured the inclusion of sex education as it was taught in Saudi Arabia's general Islamic studies courses. However, the sex education concepts in Islamic studies textbooks are inadequate, and there are very few chapters on the subject. No distinctions were found based on academic standing, but there were differences due to years of experience and educational level. KEYWORDS Islamic studies textbooks, Islamic culture, puberty and intimate body parts, female teachers’ attitudes, rights and responsibilities, sexual intercourse
