Nurturing faith and morality : a broad approach to islamic education for early childhood
(Faculty of Islamic Studies Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara, 2025-02-01) Bano, Shehar
Islamic teaching for children helps them develop proper values and achieve their full growth through family support. During early childhood many basic moral beliefs and religious practices establish what a child becomes and what they believe in. According to Islamic principles early education builds all aspects of a child's development including their spiritual education. This research studies Islamic early childhood education to show how it follows modern teaching approaches while helping solve modern learning problems. The study combines Islamic teaching insights with modern educational theory plus real-world examples to show how everyone plays part in teaching children proper faith and ethics. This work combines classic Islamic teachings with hands-on learning designs to create a flexible system for religious growth combined with intellectual and social learning. Our results show that teaching Islamic values needs joint efforts between educators and parents who use technology while showing positive examples and telling stories. Our study demonstrates the need to blend traditional faith teaching with modern lesson styles so students become morally excellent and socially engaged learners.
Islamic public policy : fundamentals, historical and contemporary applications
(World Academy of Science Engineering and Technology, 2025-06-09) Bano, Shehar
This research presents the theoretical framework and real-world empirical implementations of Islamic public policy on present-day governments. The study explores how the principles of Islamic Shariah which are derived from the Quran and Sunnah may be applied in the modern states with a view to achieving justice and progress in present-day governance system. Thus, the present qualitative approach used secondary data through text analysis, as based on the conventional, classical Islamic sources and peer-reviewed articles and case studies. In this study, an evaluation of the historical and the current aspects of Islamic public policy as critiqued through the method of content analysis. Further it was observed that although the Islamic governance offers a full ethical agenda based on justice, equity and public interest yet it faces certain shortcomings in its practice, some of them are how can we explain the revealed truths in the light of modern world and the deficiency of competent scholars in the sphere of policy making. Such challenges were discovered to be tractable with a dynamic approach that accommodates ijtihad and partnerships between scientists and economist. Based on this study, it was found that the incorporation of Islamic ethics into policy system could offer a workable solution to current challenges of governance, not simply restricted to the Islamic countries only, but as part of the discussion on justice and governance in the international level as well. Islamic public policy was present as a model for contemporary management of the state, pointing out social justice, economic justice and the public good as its rationales.
Determining the relationship of regional and religious dynamics : perceptions from the Arabian Peninsula
(Design for Scientific Renaissance, 2024-12-25) Bano, Shehar
Regional and religious factors in the Arabian Peninsula have long received scholarly research from several scholars. But the interaction of both regional dimensions and religion on the politics, social and economic fabric of Arabia has not received ample research. This research aims to examine the impact of regional power politics and religious rivalry on local political processes and foreign politics of Arabian Peninsula states. A critical analysis of historical, political and religious literature is then undertaken the purposes of understanding the roles of regional and religious factors for state governance, security issues and international policies within the region. It is assumed that regional competition and religious factor plays an important role in the political behaviors and affiliations of Arabian Peninsula states. The identified dynamics are expected to give an insight on how these have transpired over time and how they shape socio-political context. This study contributes to a gap in prior research by examining the relationship between regional structures of power and religious sectarianism while the latter is seen as independent in other works. The contributions of the study are expected to increase the awareness of the dynamics of regional and religious factors within the Middle East with focus on the impact of the KSA Vision 2030 and the emerging role of the kingdom in the region. These findings are expected to be useful to policy makers and academics studying the geopolitical and socio-religious changes in the Arabian Peninsula.
Social status of transgender individuals in the prophetic era and in modern Pakistan
(Faculty of Ushuluddin and Dakwah Institut Agama Islam Negeri Madura, 2025-05-27) Bano, Shehar
The research study investigates how transgender people were treated in both the time of Prophet Muhammad and contemporary Pakistan which has led to major transformations in social responses and legal systems and religious doctrinal perspectives. Linking to research findings shows early Islamic society recognized and respected mukhannathun transgender people but modern Pakistan includes legal progress alongside continued social discrimination against transgender groups. The analysis of transgender rights reveals how religious beliefs interact with cultural heritage as well as modern lawmaking regarding transgender people's rights protection. Islamic principles of justice and compassion form the basis of inclusivity but social prejudices alongside historical changes have led to marginalization. Through the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2018 Pakistan has achieved legal recognition but social acceptance and legal recognition exist in significant tension with one another. This study entails multiple constraints which affect its effectiveness. The study of the Prophetic era depends mostly on scarce textual evidence which receives varied interpretations through different Islamic scholarly positions. The contemporary issues which transgender individuals in Pakistan experience are changing and need further research for understanding how legal changes specifically affect their everyday life. The research adds value to present transgender rights scholarship through its analysis of Islamic perspectives at different historical periods. The study performs a comprehensive analysis of transgender rights interactions between Prophet Muhammad's time and present-day Pakistan through documented comparative examinations. Future scholarly attention should adapt towards examining how Pakistani transgender rights can become practical while exploring religious scholar involvement and government decision making in creating inclusive Pakistan. Research that examines transgender rights approaches inside Muslim-majority nations will give important insights regarding Islamic perspectives on transgender matters.
From classroom to cash : exploring financial literacy in Indonesian students
(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2025-06-11) Hasnan Yasin
Purpose
This study investigates how financially literate Indonesian students are, and how Indonesian students’ attitudes toward financial matters are, based on the data of the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2018.
Design/methodology/approach
Analyzing responses from 3,158 15-year-old students across 43 items for the Financial Literacy Cognitive Assessment and 7,001 respondents across 85 items for the Financial Literacy Survey, the study employs the Rasch Partial Credit Model in WINSTEPS 3.73 for analysis.
Findings
Results indicate a varied performance among students, with scores ranging from −4.20 logit to 2.26 logit and an average score of −0.82 logit. Approximately 48.5% of students scored above this average, highlighting a need for targeted financial education, particularly in complex areas like company profit and repayment scores. Despite familiarity with concepts like “wage” and aspirations for entrepreneurship, concerns arise about insufficient financial education from parents and teachers, indicating a necessity for enhanced financial management skills and awareness among students, regardless of gender.
Research limitations/implications
This study advances research by using the Rasch model to reveal gaps between student confidence and actual financial skills. It highlights the need for progressive financial education based on ability levels. Future studies should track changes over time and compare results by region, school type or socioeconomic background. The small gender gap in attitudes also invites qualitative research to explore underlying factors influencing students’ financial behaviors.
Practical implications
Findings call for stronger integration of financial literacy in schools. Students’ low performance indicates a need for age-appropriate, skill-building instruction. Teachers should receive targeted training, and lessons should link financial concepts to real-life applications like budgeting or entrepreneurship. This approach helps students apply knowledge practically and develop responsible financial attitudes.
Social implications
Students receive limited financial guidance outside school, showing the importance of broader community involvement. Parent education, local workshops and partnerships with religious or civic groups can support financial learning. These efforts ensure students gain financial knowledge not only just in classrooms but also in everyday life settings.
Originality/value
This study is the first to examine Indonesian students’ financial literacy using a large-scale, psychometrically rigorous approach. Unlike previous research that focuses on cross-country comparisons or gender disparities, it provides a nationally focused analysis combining cognitive and attitudinal measures through Rasch modeling. By offering detailed insights into students’ strengths and weaknesses, the study fills a significant gap in the literature and lays the groundwork for context-specific educational reforms in financial literacy.
