Primary Breadwinner Wives and Muslim Family Welfare: A Maqasid Framework

2026-06-05T13:18:46+00:00

The phenomenon of wives serving as primary breadwinners has become increasingly prevalent in Muslim families due to socio-economic changes and shifting gender roles. Previous studies have generally examined this issue from legal, economic, or gender perspectives separately, while comprehensive analyses based on Maqasid al-Shariah remain limited. This article employs a qualitative method using content analysis. The data consist of scholarly literature on Islamic family law, gender studies, family well-being, and contemporary Maqasid al-Shariah discourse, which were analyzed to examine the role of wives as primary breadwinners and to formulate a conceptual model of Muslim family well-being based on Maqasid al-Shariah. The data were analyzed using content analysis through the five dimensions of Maqasid al-Shariah: protection of religion (hifz al-din), life (hifz al-nafs), intellect (hifz al-‘aql), progeny (hifz al-nasl), and wealth (hifz al-mal). The findings indicate that wives’ economic contributions can strengthen family resilience and well-being, while also creating challenges such as double burdens, psychosocial pressures, and patriarchal resistance Wives as primary breadwinners can be recognized as a legitimate form of social adaptation within Muslim families, aligning with the objectives of Maqasid al-Shariah when balance across its five dimensions is sustained; the proposed multidimensional model thus offers practical guidance for strengthening family policy, empowerment initiatives, and household resilience.

Social Media Marketing Influence on Purchase Intention via Brand Image and Trust

2026-06-23T07:30:29+00:00

The rapid expansion of social media has transformed how e-commerce platforms engage with consumers. However, empirical evidence regarding the mediating roles of brand image and brand trust in explaining the effect of social media marketing on purchase intention remains limited and inconsistent. This study examines the influence of social media marketing on purchase intention in Shopee by incorporating brand image and brand trust as mediating variables. This research adopts a quantitative approach using a survey method. Data were collected from 300 active Shopee users in Yogyakarta who had been exposed to Shopee social media content. The sample was selected using a non-probability sampling technique with a convenience sampling approach. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings show that social media marketing influences brand image and brand trust, which subsequently affect purchase intention. Both brand image and brand trust function as mediators in the relationship between social media marketing and purchase intention. These results confirm the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) framework, where social media marketing acts as the stimulus, brand image and brand trust represent the organism, and purchase intention represents the response. This study contributes to the literature by strengthening the application of the SOR model in digital marketing and highlighting the role of psychological mechanisms in consumer behavior. The results suggest that e-commerce platforms should design social media content that is engaging, credible, informative, and aligned with current trends to strengthen consumer perception and trust, thereby enhancing purchase intention.

Integration of Pesantren and Islamic School Curricula: Enhancing Qur’an Memorization Quality

2026-06-15T04:27:37+00:00

This study investigates the management and impact of curriculum integration between pesantren and Islamic schools, focusing on its influence on students’ Qur’an memorization quality and the challenges encountered in implementation. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving school principals, curriculum coordinators, pesantren leaders, ustadz tahfidz, and nine student participants. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model, encompassing data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, with validity ensured through source and method triangulation. The findings reveal that curriculum collaboration is systematically organized through integrated planning, synchronized implementation between tahfidz schedules and formal learning, and periodic evaluation based on academic and tahfidz assessments. This integration demonstrably improves students’ fluency, accuracy, and consistency in Qur’an memorization. However, key challenges include limited time management, heterogeneous student motivation and ability, and adaptation to evolving national curriculum policies. The study highlights that integrated curriculum design offers an effective Islamic education model that strengthens both Qur’an memorization and academic achievement.

Financial Management Transformation of Islamic Boarding Schools through Break Even Point Analysis

2026-05-06T03:01:50+00:00

This study analyzes the application of Break Even Point in transforming financial management at Pondok Pesantren Salaf Darussalam Rejoagung Banyuwangi and its implications for institutional independence and sustainability. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation from January to June 2025. Analysis employed the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, with data validity ensured through source triangulation, member checking, and intensive researcher involvement. Findings reveal that Break Even Point emerged from the critical awareness of pesantren leaders regarding financial uncertainty traditionally dependent on donations, functioning as both an objective instrument and a metaphorical “map and compass” guiding financial navigation without neglecting spiritual values. The contextualization of fixed, variable, semi-variable, and non-cash costs highlighted ethical dilemmas in monetizing internal resources. Break Even Point fostered independence through digital financial management, business unit development, sustainable operational planning, and strategic decision-making. The study concludes that Break Even Point serves not only as a financial tool but also as an institutional catalyst bridging modern accountability with pesantren spirituality.

Epistemological Crisis to Educational Reform: Reconstructing al-Faruqi’s Islamization of Knowledge for Islamic Education

2026-01-12T06:05:15+00:00

Contemporary Islamic education is facing a profound epistemological crisis characterized by the dichotomy between religious and secular sciences, the dominance of positivistic and secular paradigms, and the weak integration of tawhidic values into knowledge development. This crisis has led to fragmented educational objectives and reduced curricular relevance to the needs of the Muslim community. The present study aims to critically examine the epistemological roots of this crisis and explore the applicability of Ismail Raji al-Faruqi’s concept of the Islamization of Knowledge as a reformative framework. Employing a library research method with descriptive-analytical techniques, the study focuses on al-Faruqi’s seminal work Islamization of Knowledge and relevant secondary literature. The findings reveal that the epistemological crisis stems primarily from the entrenched dichotomy of knowledge and the pervasive influence of secular paradigms. Al-Faruqi’s epistemological project, when reformulated through twelve practical steps, provides a comprehensive tawhidic epistemological model that can be operationalized in curriculum design, educational objectives, and pedagogical praxis. The implications of this reformulation highlight the urgency of integrating tawhidic principles into contemporary Islamic education to overcome fragmentation and restore its relevance to the holistic development of the Muslim community.
