Pendidikan Islam pada Zaman Klasik: Masa Rasulullah Saw dan Khulafaur Rasyidin

Islamic education was crucial in fostering a robust Islamic culture during the Khulafaur Rashidin era (11-40 AH/632-661 AD). The caliphs, including Abu Bakr Ash-Shiddiq, Umar bin Khattab, Uthman bin Affan, and Ali bin Abi Talib, continued the Prophet's purpose of spreading Islam, strengthening faith, and building a just and civilised society. The Hadith and the Quran are the main sources of knowledge, covering topics like as religion, ethics, legal concepts, and the Arabic language. Mosques often incorporate teaching methods like as examples, discussions, lectures, and question and answer sessions. This study employs a qualitative methodology that focuses on historical and descriptive analysis. The data were gathered by conducting a comprehensive review of primary and secondary sources pertaining to the Khulafaur Rashidin era. The historical documents underwent interpretation and critical evaluation, while the perspectives of historians were compared. The caliphs systematised the Quran, implemented a structured administrative framework, and facilitated the spread of education to additional regions such as Persia, Egypt, and Sham. The institutionalisation of education commenced with the advent of madrasas and kuttabs. Education not only emphasised religion but also incorporated diverse fields to cultivate an enlightened and virtuous society. The education system established during the period of the Khulafaur Rashidin played a crucial role in the future advancement of Islamic education. It produced a generation of Muslims who were well-equipped to confront the problems of their era and make valuable contributions to human civilization. The current state of Islamic education demonstrates that the integration of religious principles and scientific knowledge may cultivate persons with robust moral character and exceptional abilities.

Resilience and Sustainability of Muslim Entrepreneurs of Gen Z In Era 5.0: A Conceptual Approach

This study investigates how digital innovation and green marketing contribute to the resilience and sustainability of Muslim Generation Z entrepreneurship. Gen Z, known for its strong affinity for technology, utilizes digital platforms such as social media and e-commerce to develop businesses with relatively low capital, making it an ideal environment for entrepreneurial growth. For Muslim Gen Z entrepreneurs, integrating Islamic values like honesty, social responsibility, and business ethics into their ventures is essential for business practices. The study aims to explore the impact of digital entrepreneurship and green marketing on the resilience of Muslim Gen Z entrepreneurs and identify the factors influencing their sustainability. The research employs a conceptual approach, analyzing secondary data and existing literature on digital entrepreneurship, green marketing, and Islamic business ethics. Findings indicate that leveraging digital technology enhances the ability of Muslim Gen Z entrepreneurs to adapt to market changes, increase competitiveness, and operate sustainably. Green marketing, in particular, aligns with Islamic principles of environmental responsibility, attracting environmentally conscious consumers and building stronger brand loyalty. This study highlights how these entrepreneurs can integrate ethical practices with innovative strategies to build resilient and sustainable businesses in the digital era. The research underscores the need for further empirical studies to examine the practical application of Islamic values and digital innovation across various regions and how these factors interact with local entrepreneurial ecosystems.

Problematika Metode Pengajaran dalam Pendidikan Islam Modern

Teaching methods play an important role in achieving educational goals, including in modern Islamic education. However, in practice, there are a number of problems faced by educators. With a literature study approach, this paper aims to identify and analyze various challenges that arise in the application of teaching methods in modern Islamic education, such as the gap between the curriculum and social reality, the dominance of conventional teaching methods that are less interactive, and the limited use of technology. The influence of globalization and technological developments also affect student learning patterns and pose new challenges in maintaining Islamic identity and values. To overcome these problems, innovation is needed in teaching methods, integration of technology in learning, alignment of the curriculum with the needs of the times, and improvement of the quality of educators. Thus, modern Islamic education can be more relevant and effective in forming a generation of Muslims who are noble, intelligent, and able to compete in the global era.

Salafism and the local: Negotiation, accommodation and Re-localization of Ethiopian Salafism

ABSTRACT This article investigates changes within Salafism – Ethiopia’s main Islamic reform current – over the last decade. We argue that these changes are driven by a new generation of Muslims increasingly embedded in the broader Ethiopian society and who find the more established Salafi ideas’ narrow emphasis on personal piety and on maintaining religious boundaries as insufficient in addressing questions related to their immediate realities. These young Muslims have subsequently started to question Salafi thought and practice, contested claims of religious knowledge, which in turn have forced senior Salafi leaders to re-negotiate their earlier isolationist and exclusivist positions. Our key question is whether these developments can be understood as the emergence of what has been labelled post-Salafism. We argue that such changes within Ethiopian Salafism – and Salafism more broadly – are not necessarily the results of detached ideological developments or caused by trans-local ideological flows. Instead, we believe that the local and situated discourses are far more important than previously assumed. We argue for the need to duly consider aspects beyond what is commonly imagined as the religious and to acknowledge how each locality is shaped by particular historical developments, contemporary cultural dynamics, changing demographics, socio-economic realities and political discourses.

Muslim Generation Z’s purchase intention of halal cosmetic products in Indonesia

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the purchase intentions of male and female Muslim Gen Z in Indonesia toward halal cosmetics. A total of 434 female and 302 male respondents participated in the survey, and the data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) technique. The results indicated that religiosity significantly influenced attitudes and subjective norms of female respondents (β = 0.170, p = 0.000; β = 0.184, p = 0.000), and affected attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control of males (β = 0.119, p = 0.014; β = 0.105, p = 0.092; β = 0.181, p = 0.002). Halal knowledge significantly affected attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and purchase intentions of females (β = 0.149, p = 0.004; β = 0.272, p = 0.000; β = 0.361, p = 0.000; β = 0.185, p = 0.001), whereas it affected attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control of males (β = 0.202, p = 0.009; β = 0.370, p = 0.000; β = 0.367, p = 0.000). Halal certification also significantly influenced attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control of females (β = 0.200, p = 0.000; β = 0.310, p = 0.000; β = 0.169, p = 0.009) and males (β = 0.124, p = 0.043; β = 0.305, p = 0.000; β = 0.189, p = 0.006). In conclusion, attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control are key determinants of the purchase intentions of both male and female Gen Z individuals regarding halal cosmetics.

Muslim youth collective amnesia of US government-inflicted violence against Muslims in the War on Terror

Evidence suggests that incidents of US government-inflicted violence against Muslims are absent from the post-9/11 generation of Muslims’ collective memory. To examine and confirm this collective amnesia, young Muslim American adults were nationally surveyed and interviewed on their knowledge of the Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib detention centers. In total, 100 survey responses were collected and 5 interviews were conducted to examine the extent and formation of the Muslim American youth’s collective perception of Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib. While nearly all participants displayed awareness of the 9/11 attacks, a significant number of them were unaware of Guantanamo Bay, and most of them were unaware of Abu Ghraib. This study reveals a potential generational gap in the collective memory of Muslim Americans, the individual-level perception of post-9/11 violence against Muslims amongst young Muslim Americans, and new topics for future directions as outlined in the conclusion. It also argues that the absence of Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib from young Muslims’ collective memory of the War on Terror (WOT) creates an image of Muslims being the perpetrators of violence and never victims, making it impossible for young Muslims to break out of the dominant frame of memory of 9/11 and its aftermath.

Tahfidz Al-Qur'an Learning Management

This research examines the learning planning management process and the mechanisms, systems and strategies needed so that tahfiz al-Qur'an learning can be achieved effectively and efficiently. The Tahfiz Al Qur'an and Hadist Al Faiz Islamic boarding school is a tahfiz institution that holds formal programs in the form of MIS, MTs, MAS, and Takhossus Tahfiz Al Faiz with the main aim of producing a cadre of imams, preachers and teachers to be able to restore the glory of Islam through al Qur'an and sunnah. This research is a type of field research using a qualitative phenomenological approach regarding the management of Al-Quran tahfiz learning for students at the Al Faiz Islamic boarding school in Deli Serdang. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews and documentation techniques from schools. Data analysis starts from data collection, reduction, presentation and drawing conclusions using a deductive method that starts from general events and then reduces them to specific parts. Based on the data findings, it can be concluded that the learning planning process carried out for the students includes annual programs, semester programs and daily learning plans, as well as the mechanism and system for organizing tahfiz learning for all students, implemented within a maximum of 4 months, trained with tahsin in the form of memorizing Matan Al-Jazari and Tuhfatul Atfal as well as talaqqi reading starting from Surah Al-Fatihah to completing Juz 30, all of which of course must start with good planning, good communication, and must also be supported by strategic learning development that is able to teach the students. so that it is hoped that a superior generation of Muslims will be created (khaira ummah).

Golden Horizons: Investigating Shariah-Compliant Gold Investment Awareness Among Youth

Gold has long been regarded as a reliable medium of exchange and a store of value, owing to its inherent traits and functions associated with money. In the context of Malaysia, gold investment emerges as a lucrative and secure asset category for investors. They have the option to either physically possess and safeguard gold or opt for a more modern approach by establishing a gold investment account. Over recent years, there has been a noticeable growth in awareness among the public and seasoned gold investors in Malaysia. However, this upward trend has not been as pronounced among the younger demographic. This research aims to investigate the extent of awareness regarding Shariah-compliant gold investment among the young Muslim population in Terengganu, Malaysia. Utilizing a quantitative research methodology, data was collected through a survey administered by researchers via a Google Form, disseminated across various social media platforms. The study successfully obtained data from a sample of 120 respondents. The findings of this study reveal that, on the whole, the young Muslim generation in Terengganu exhibits a high level of awareness regarding Shariah-compliant gold investment. The significance of this research lies in shedding light on the dynamics of gold investment awareness, particularly within the context of Shariah compliance, among the youth in a specific region of Malaysia. The results provide valuable insights for financial institutions, policymakers, and educators seeking to tailor their strategies to enhance financial literacy and promote Shariah-compliant investment practices among the younger population. As Malaysia continues to evolve as a financial hub, understanding and addressing the investment preferences and awareness levels of its diverse demographic groups become crucial for fostering a robust and inclusive financial landscape. Since this study was conducted with small sample size and focusing in Terengganu only, it is strongly recommended to expand the research to other states in Malaysia.

Understanding the Housing Acquisition Behavior of Muslim Generation Y in Malaysia: A Conceptual Framework Based on ABC Theory

House is the most important basic need for the human survival, however many people especially those who are categorised in the category of generation Y do not acquire a house due to various factors (internal salient belief factors, personal factor, and extra factor). In accordance, the volume of residential transaction and homeownership rate among youths in Malaysia has been decreasing for the past few years. It is proven as the number of residential property transaction has dropped from 272,669 transactions in 2012 to 250,586 transactions in 2023. Thus, it is important to examine the behavior of generation Y towards house acquisition in Malaysia. This study focuses on Muslim Generation Y in West Malaysia, specifically on those who have purchased a home and those who have not. The research proposes to examine the internal salient belief factors (attitude and perceived religiosity on property), personal factors (lifestyles) as well as external factors (house features, house location, financing factors, and government support) in influencing house acquisition behavior among Muslim Generation Y in Malaysia. As such, this study proposes to adapt Attitude-Behavior-Context (ABC) theory in discovering the behavior.

Islamic Moral Ideas In Fazlur Rahman's Perspective

One of the Muslim figures who cares about the morals of the Muslim generation is Fazlur Rahman. Therefore, Fazlur Rahman through his writing invites the public to see the moral ideals contained in the Al-Qur'an. He founded the moral message of the Qur'an through discussion, not only through the art of understanding the Qur'an, but also historical criticism and normative methods. This explains Islamic morality from the perspective of the Qur’an, which will become a path of knowledge for generations of Muslims. This article will discuss moral ideas in Islam according to Fazlur Rahman. Through a literature review using qualitative methods, it was found that Islamic morality according to Fazlur Rahman is a conception of Islamic morals that originates from the semantics of the Al-Qur'an and As-Sunnah. This is in accordance with the view that Islam is a moral religion.

The Influence of Sharia Financial Literacy and Perceived Usefulness on the Decision of the Muslim Generation to Choose the Shopee Paylater

This research is motivated by the use of Shopee Paylater which is one of the most popular services. This attraction is a challenge for the Muslim generation to choose a payment method in online transactions that does not deviate from sharia principles. As data presented by CNBC Indonesia states that the younger generation was recorded as the largest contributor to paylater non-performing loans as of April 2023 at 9.7%.Islamic financial literacy is a guide for the community in managing finances in line with sharia principles. And perceived usefulness is a person's description of the usefulness of technology service products for one's performance. So the purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of Islamic financial literacy and perceived usefulness on the decision to choose the Shopee Paylater payment method. This research uses quantitative research. The data analysis method used is multiple linear regression analysis with the SPSS 25 analysis tool. The results of this study indicate that Islamic financial literacy has a significant negative effect on the decision to choose the Shopee Paylater payment method and perceived usefulness has a significant positive effect on the decision to choose the Shopee Paylater payment method. This means that if someone has a high level of Islamic financial literacy, the decision to choose Shopee Paylater will decrease. And if someone has a good perceived usefulness of using Shopee Paylater, the decision to choose Shopee Paylater will increase. So that efforts that need to be made to overcome the phenomenon of high rates of non- performing loans for the younger generation are increasing Islamic financial literacy and educating the public on the wise use of technology.

Persepsi Penggunaan Kosmetik Halal di Kalangan Muslim Generasi Z

This study focuses on the perception of halal cosmetics use for Muslim generation z. This study uses a descriptive analysis research method with a quantitative approach. This study uses primary data with data collection carried out by distributing questionnaires to respondents who meet the criteria, namely individuals who use halal cosmetics in the last 3 months and individuals who are included in generation Z. The questionnaire was distributed via Google Forms.

The conclusion obtained from this study is that there is a positive influence between attitude and purchase intention, there is a positive influence between perceived behavioral control and purchase intention, and there is a positive influence between religiosity and purchase intention. However, other results revealed that there was no positive influence between subjective norms and purchase intention.

The Role of Classical Islamic Educational Institutions before the Emeregence of Madrasah

<em>The purpose of this research is to investigate the role of Islamic educational institutions before the emergence of madrasahs in the intellectual and social development of Muslims. The main issue addressed is the contribution of institutions such as al-dars, ribaths, mosques, kuttabs, and scholars' houses in shaping Islamic intellectuality during that time. This study employs a qualitative approach through historical and social analysis. The findings of the research indicate that these institutions were crucial in shaping Islamic intellectuality. They not only served as places to study religious teachings but also helped disseminate knowledge, share ideas, and build the social identity of Muslims. These institutions supported the exchange of ideas, research, and the teaching of knowledge, which were essential for the education of Muslim generations. In conclusion, this research emphasizes the importance of classical Islamic educational institutions in shaping Islamic civilization. These institutions fostered a holistic educational approach that integrated knowledge, religion, and spirituality. They reflect various forms of Islamic education, allowing for comprehensive and integrated learning and continuous knowledge enhancement. The legacy of Islamic educational institutions before madrasahs historically continues to influence how we understand and approach Islamic education today.</em>

Peran Sains dalam Membangun Kualitas Generasi Islam (Role of Science in Building Quality of Islamic Generations)

Science is always associated with general science or science that studies worldly matters only. Some Muslims think that science has nothing to do with Islam or in other words Islam does not need science. If the assumption of the Islamic community about this still exists then Islam is in the danger zone, because actually Islam needs science. Islam and science are not two opposing camps, but two very solid camps. If we look deeper, the Qur'an presents many verses about science. The verses of the Qur'an about science range from 750 to 1000 verses. In fact, the first revelation that came down to the Prophet Muhammad SAW, namely the command to read. In the Qur'an it has been explained that paying attention to the universe which means also studying science is part of reading the verses of Allah SWT. Meanwhile, the results of research conducted by scientists about the universe do not contradict the Qur'an which was revealed 1400 years ago. If science and technology are only controlled by non-Muslims, then Muslims will be considered weaker and lower in the field of science. Therefore, Islam needs the next generation of people who love and understand the contents of the Qur'an and are not blind to science, especially science. Islam will flap its wings more in the field of science and technology so that a generation of IMTAQ and IPTEK is formed, namely a generation of Muslims who have faith and piety and master science and technology. Science is also important in the development of Islam because science brings knowledge that is very important in future generations and science also plays an important role for all people in this world. In the context of building the quality of the Islamic generation, there are several important aspects that need to be considered, namely;

You are what you wear: the effect of religiosity, self-esteem and materialism toward conspicuous consumption of luxury fashion products among Gen Z

PurposeThe market value of luxury goods at the global and national levels continues to increase from year to year. The sales growth of the Indonesian luxury goods market is currently at 6.6% per year. The largest sales sector in the market is the fashion sector, with more than US$700m per year. Several big cities in Asia, including Jakarta, experienced a shift in the age group of luxury goods buyers to a younger group with limited income resources. The behavior of purchasing luxury goods in the low-income group is contrary to Islamic values, which prioritize the fulfillment of needs rather than the fulfillment of desires. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the intention of Muslim Generation Z consumers to buy luxury fashion products.Design/methodology/approachThe purposive sampling method in this study involved 240 respondents who had bought luxury fashion products in the masstige category in the past two years. This study adopts the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) model and a quantitative approach through the structural equation modeling method.FindingsThe results of this study indicate that attitude towards behavior, subjective norms, self-esteem and materialism have a significant positive effect on the intention to consume luxury fashion, while the influence of religiosity was found to be insignificant. At the same time, religiosity has a significant negative effect on attitude towards behavior and subjective norms.Research limitations/implicationsThese findings indicate that if consumers who have a positive attitude toward luxury fashion purchases, can be influenced by their significant others, self-esteem and materialistic nature, then they tend to buy luxury fashion items.Originality/valueThis study extends the theory of TRA by adding religiosity, self-esteem and materialism and it uses Muslim Generation Z as the respondent. Masstige category of luxury brands is also used to take into account the affordability of its generation toward luxury fashion products.

Young muslim generation’s preferences for using digital platforms for Zakat payments: A cross-country study of Indonesia and Malaysia

The young Muslim generation’s embracing digital platforms for Zakat payments represents a dynamic fusion of enduring religious values with the modern digital landscape, heralding a new era in Islamic charitable practices. This trend illustrates a profound transformation within the Islamic world, where the pillars of faith are being reimagined and revitalized through the lens of technological advancement. The present study delved into the factors influencing the young Muslim generation’s preference for digital platforms in Zakat transactions across Indonesia and Malaysia. We examined variables such as Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, Trust, Zakat Literacy, and Digital Infrastructure, aiming to discern their impact on the propensity for digital Zakat contributions with the extension of Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. The research encompassed a diverse sample of 382 participants and utilized advanced methodologies, specifically Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and PLS Multi Group Analysis (PLS-MGA), for rigorous data analysis. The results indicated that Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, Digital Infrastructure, and Zakat Literacy notably influenced the use of digital platforms for Zakat. Furthermore, PLS-MGA uncovered significant cross-country differences where Digital Infrastructure showed a more pronounced positive impact in Malaysian context, whereas Social Influence had a greater effect in Indonesia. These findings offer critical insights into the young Muslim community’s digital engagement for religious financial obligations, underscoring the need for tailored digital Zakat solutions that cater to the unique preferences of this demographic. This research not only enriches the understanding of digital adoption in religious practices but also challenges the notion of a universal approach, advocating for context-specific strategies in the realm of digital religious financial services. Future researchers are suggested to consider longitudinal investigations as well as examining cross-regional contexts in this realm of research.

Islamic Religious Education in Forming Muslim Identity in the Modern Era

In the modern era, Muslim identity develops as a result of complex interactions between religion, culture, technology and the social environment. This identity reflects the deeply rooted Islamic values inherent in every individual. Changes in the social environment, especially in the digital world, also have a significant influence in shaping Muslim identity. This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method. In this case, the author collected library data from Google Scholar. The results of this research, first, are that high school students in the contemporary era are educated as shown by their critical attitude, but they do not have Islamic character which is reflected in their behavior. Second, it is felt that the implementation of Islamic religious education in schools has not been optimal in forming Muslim identity, this is indicated by the fact that knowledge and good behavior at school are not carried over into its application in society. Third, the synergy between educational institutions and students' parents is a perfect combination concept in forming the identity of the Muslim generation in the contemporary era. Through good intense communication with students' parents and innovative efforts by teachers, it is hoped that the Islamic values obtained at school can be applied by students in their daily lives, thereby creating an environment where Islamic religious values become an integral part of students' Muslims identity.

Re-examining Tarbiyah Nabawi as a Preventive Step for the Dangers of Pluralism in the World of Education

Islam came with the spirit of scientific progress for mankind. The Prophet Muhammad SAW as the bearer of the Islamic message with his tarbiyah system which emphasized faith, love of knowledge, beauty of morals and role models succeeded in bringing a nation that was previously left behind to become an advanced nation and become the center of scientific civilization. However, unfortunately this glory is only a memory, because Muslims themselves are starting to abandon their teachings and have forgotten the concepts established by their Prophet. Now Muslims are again facing new challenges with the emergence of pluralism which is felt to have invaded the world of education. This understanding of pluralism is certainly dangerous for the young generation of Muslims, because this understanding of pluralism instills the teachings of relativism, gives a wrong understanding of tolerance, and dwarfs Islamic law. So to fight this pluralism, it is necessary to re-implement the Nabawiyah tarbiyah concept in the education system. Because the main root of this pluralism is Muslims' ignorance of the true teachings of Islam, so they are easily influenced by outside whispers.
