Spiritual intelligence fosters green actions : the role of nature connectedness in shaping pro-environmental behavior
Muhamad Maulana; Alya Chairunnisa; Lakhaula Sahrotul Aulia (Marry Ann Liebert, 2026-05-07)
This study examines the relations among spiritual intelligence (SI), connectedness to nature (CN), and pro-environmental behavior (PEB) in a sample of 251 Indonesian university students. Employing a cross-sectional design, the study utilized a two-step analytical approach involving Rasch analysis to validate scale reliability and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the structural model. Rasch analysis confirmed the robustness of the SI, CN, and PEB instruments, continuing the transformation of raw data into logit scores. Descriptive and correlational results indicated moderate positive associations among the three constructs. PLS-SEM analysis revealed a positive relation between SI and PEB (β = 0.251, p < 0.001) and a strong relation between SI and CN (β = 0.576, p < 0.001). Additionally, CN was positively related to PEB (β = 0.280, p < 0.001). The mediation analysis also indicated that CN partially mediates the relation between SI and PEB, suggesting that SI relates to green action through heightened ecological connectedness. The model explained a moderate level of variance (R2 = 0.332 for CN; R2 = 0.222 for PEB) with adequate predictive relevance. Theoretically, this study integrates SI into environmental psychology literature. Practically, the findings emphasize the role of spiritual reflection and nature connectedness in fostering sustainable behaviors among Indonesian youth.
Between promise and peril : blue economy development and maritime security in Africa - a critical review
Ahmed, Issa; Jibril, Abubakar Muhammad; Machibya, Lukuba; Saidyjeng, Lamin; Jallow, Alkali; Pio, Peseo Lao (Sakura Digital Nusantara, 2026-05-09)
Purpose – This paper examines the relationship between blue economy development, maritime security, and governance in Africa, with a focus on the Gulf of Guinea and the Horn of Africa. It highlights how maritime insecurity affects key sectors such as fisheries, maritime transport, offshore energy, and coastal tourism. Design/methodology/approach – The study applies a comparative regional approach using peer-reviewed literature and policy reports published between 2000–2025. The analysis focuses on issues of piracy, maritime terrorism, smuggling, and trafficking, as well as governance responses in Africa’s major maritime regions. Findings/Results – The findings indicate that maritime insecurity creates significant economic and social costs for blue economy sectors through higher risks, disrupted trade routes, and livelihood instability. Although regional cooperation and maritime governance frameworks have expanded, their effectiveness is limited by legal fragmentation, unequal institutional capacity, and weak maritime monitoring systems. In addition, factors such as IUU fishing, youth unemployment, coastal marginalization, and state fragility continue to drive insecurity. Originality/Value – The study concludes that sustainable blue economy development depends on integrated governance that combines maritime security, legal reform, and development policy. The paper emphasizes that maritime security should not only be understood as an enforcement issue, but also as a governance and human security challenge linked to broader socio-economic conditions.
Traditional Islamic education, modern Western schooling and the urban Muslim identity : navigating the past and present
Mustafa, Saira; Ali, Mohsin (Multitech Publisher, 2025-11-24)
This research tries to present Islamic and modern education in integrated methods with special reference to maintaining Islamic values in contemporary learning. In earlier times, the institution of Islamic education took place with great fervour at Al-Azhar, Darul Uloom, among other great educational centers. The colonizing process, along with the tides of globalization, however, destroyed the traditions. Examples of how religious and secular curricula have been balanced in countries studied include Malaysia's International Islamic University and Imam Hatip schools in Turkey. This sort of integrated education may help build robust identities that balance belief with vocational expectations. Yet the different sources of finance, societal perceptions, and curriculum development particularly in the diaspora and western environments remain some of the biggest challenges that must be brought into policy, education provision and community engagement together. The underlying message of this research is that integrating Islamic values into mainstream contemporary knowledge and practice will equip students with the skills needed to face a global world without losing their religious identity. The integrated education thus plays a significant role in the dialogue between cultures and in the continuity of Islamic values, proving its validity within an ever-changing world.
The reception of maqasid al-shariah in Islamic finance reforms : a comparative study of Indonesia and Morocco
Mustafa, Saira; Ali, Mohsin (Center of Islamic Finance, COMSATS University Islamabad, 2025-12-29)
This analogy shows that Indonesia and Morocco are each applying maqasid al-Shariah to the same Islamic financial reforms but differently because of their social, political, legal and religious environments. Indonesia focuses on social justice, financial inclusion and institutional development, whereas Morocco focuses on stability, community trust and wary integration. Nonetheless, the reforms are justified by maqasid that serve as an ethical binding force, ensuring they adhere to the Islamic mandate. The contribution of maqasid towards shaping the structure of ethical financial systems cannot be overstated, but equally important is fostering a culture of trust and institutional credibility in people. Such comparative studies are beneficial to policymakers and even researchers. It is evident that the way to Islamic finance reform is not easy. The reforms should represent the local realities. Further studies might also examine the long-term effects of such legal regimes on financial inclusion, protection, and economic development among consumers. This will bring us a step forward in understanding how Islamic finance can truly be principled and practical as it relates to local situations but is concerned with economic issues in the context of the modern world.
Financing Sustainability through Faith: The Role of Green Sukuk in Islamic Environmental Ethics
Mustafa, Saira; Ibrahim, Arifa (Multitech Publisher, 2026-02-05)
One of the most important moral issues affecting the Muslim world is environmental degradation, which requires an examination of the Islamic teachings’ emphasis on human responsibility to the natural world. This article examines how Green Sukuk combines contemporary sustainability principles with Islamic environmental ethics to function as a faith- based financial tool for advancing sustainable development. The study uses a qualitative, library-based analysis to look at the framework of maqasid al-shari‘ah, specifically the preservation of life, wealth, and the environment, as well as Quranic ideas like khalifah (stewardship), amanah (trust), and mizan (balance). Findings indicate that by coordinating economic activity with moral and ecological accountability, Green Sukuk not only encourages investments that are environmentally conscious but also operationalizes Islamic ethical principles. The study concludes that Green Sukuk is useful. Findings suggests that by coordinating economic activity with moral and ecological accountability. Green Sukuk not only encourages investments which are environmentally conscious but also operationalizes Islamic ethical principles. The study concludes that Green Sukuk is a workable example of using faith to finance sustainability, completing the gap between Islamic finance and environmental ethics and providing a means of achieving both ecological and spiritual well-being.
