From Islamic Guesthouses to Sharīʿah-Compliant Hotels: Historical Institutions and Implications for Pilgrimage and Religious Tourism Management

2026-10-01T22:09:51+07:00

This study examines the historical development of hospitality institutions in Muslim societies, from early Islamic practices of receiving guests to the emergence of contemporary Sharīʿah-compliant hotels. Using a qualitative historical review of Qur’anic and ḥadīth sources, historiographical accounts, and scholarship on Islamic hospitality, it compares the social purposes, financing arrangements, administrative responsibilities, and beneficiaries of dār al-ḍiyāfah, funduq, khān, and waqf-supported guesthouses. The review identifies a significant institutional contrast: historical provision for travellers and pilgrims was frequently associated with charitable, communal, or state-supported obligations, whereas contemporary hotels generally operate within commercial tourism markets. The reported establishment of the ʿAbbāsid Dīwān al-Ṭabq provides a useful case for examining supervision and resource allocation in pilgrimage accommodation, although its administrative procedures require further source verification. Rather than positing an uninterrupted institutional lineage, the article proposes a comparative framework for waqf governance, service accountability, inclusive guest care, and contemporary pilgrimage and religious tourism management. The contribution is conceptual and historical; it does not claim to empirically establish the effectiveness of a modern hospitality-management intervention.

Financial Performance Analysis Based on the International Standard of Zakat Management (ISZM) in Optimizing the Economic Da’wah Function

2026-10-05T09:53:26+07:00

This study aims to analyze the efficiency and capacity of the National Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) based on the International Standard of Zakat Management (ISZM) indicators for the 2020–2022 period. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, utilizing calculations for efficiency ratios (program, operational, and fundraising expenses) and capacity ratios (growth of core receipts, program expenses, and working capital). The results indicate that BAZNAS's efficiency reached the "good" category only in 2022, having declined during 2020–2021 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Regarding capacity, the best performance occurred in 2021 despite the ongoing pandemic, whereas 2022 saw an imbalance between receipts and distribution. The study demonstrates that digital adaptation and strengthened governance are essential to ensure the sustainability of zakat management.

Tawazunisasi as a Wealth Distribution Strategy: An Islamic Economic Framework for Da’wah Management and Reducing Inequality in Indonesia

2026-11-02T10:12:07+07:00

This conceptual study develops tawazunisasi as an institutional framework for balancing wealth distribution and examines its relevance to da’wah management in Indonesia. Using a purposive qualitative literature review, it analyzes M. Ismail Yusanto’s 2026 scholarly address alongside official inequality statistics and scholarship on Islamic distributive justice, maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, zakat, waqf, and public policy. The synthesis identifies five interconnected stages: widening economic opportunity, broadening productive asset ownership, coordinating Sharia-based redistribution, correcting structural distortions, and evaluating public welfare. Its proposed novelty is to connect established Islamic distributive principles with the organizational functions of amil, nazhir, da’wah institutions, and public agencies through an accountable implementation and feedback cycle. It proposes indicators for beneficiary targeting, productive capacity, asset stewardship, and program outcomes. The study offers a framework for future evaluation, not empirical evidence that tawazunisasi reduces inequality.

Implementing Da’wah bil Hal through Islamic Funeral Rites Training: Empowering Mosque Based Women’s Religious Study Groups

2026-10-01T13:30:32+07:00

Da'wah bil hal is an Islamic preaching approach implemented through concrete actions to address community needs. This study analyzes the implementation of da'wah bil hal through funeral management training to empower a mosque-based women's religious study group at Al-Qolam Grand Mosque, Central Cimahi District. The study employed a qualitative approach using Participatory Action Research (PAR). Participants included 36 members of the women's religious study group, mosque management representatives, and training instructors. Data were collected through participatory observation, documentation, pre-tests, post-tests, and participant satisfaction questionnaires and were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis supported by descriptive statistics. The findings indicate that the training represented a needs-based implementation of da'wah bil hal through participatory learning. The program provided participants with practical training experiences and strengthened their preparedness to perform Islamic funeral rites. The pre-test and post-test results showed very limited changes in cognitive scores, while the high baseline scores indicated that participants already had substantial prior knowledge. Nevertheless, the very high satisfaction level indicated a highly positive participant response to the relevance and implementation of the training. Needs-based da'wah bil hal effectively integrates Islamic values, community empowerment, and the strengthening of the mosque's social functions.

Some Issues of Study of Texts in the Lyrics of Muslim Woman Literature

2026-10-28T21:41:33+07:00

Phraseological units, as stable linguistic constructions, perform not only a nominative but also a cognitive function, as they represent condensed concepts reflecting the cultural and mental code of native speakers. Their use in poetic discourse is associated not only with aesthetic purposes but also with a specific strategy of influencing the recipient. Precedent texts incorporated into an author's work in the form of quotations, reminiscences, and allusions create intertextual connections and expand the field of interpretation. In Madina Gyulgun’s poetry, these elements play a crucial role in shaping her unique artistic world, which simultaneously relies on tradition and opens new semantic horizons. Madina Gyulgun’s work is of particular interest from the perspectives of cognitive linguistics and pragmatics. Her poetry is rich in fixed expressions deeply rooted in Azerbaijani, Eastern, and global culture. Furthermore, she actively employs precedent texts, referencing literary, religious, and philosophical sources. This creates an effect of multiple interpretations and enhances the emotional and cognitive impact of her lyrics.
Thus, the aim of this article is to analyze phraseological units and precedent texts in Madina Gyulgun’s lyrics, considering cognitive and pragmatic aspects. To achieve this goal, the study will examine theoretical foundations of intertextuality, provide examples of phraseological expressions and precedent texts in her poetry, and analyze their functions and mechanisms of influence on the reader’s perception

Cultural Da’wah Management in Building Interreligious Tolerance: A Case Study of Tjoe Tik Kiong Temple, Pasuruan

2026-10-01T10:34:37+07:00

This study examines the dynamics of interreligious tolerance at Tjoe Tik Kiong Temple in Pasuruan, a Tri Dharma temple that has long existed as part of the city’s socio-religious landscape. Using a qualitative-descriptive case-study approach, data were obtained through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving key temple administrators and members of the surrounding community. The study analyzes forms of interreligious interaction, factors that shape tolerance, the scope of responsibility, freedom, and fairness, the Indonesian socio-religious context, and strategies for preventing prejudice and discrimination. The findings show that tolerance is practiced through everyday social contact and cross-religious cooperation, including Ramadan gatherings, food and basic-needs distribution, mutual assistance, social visits, and participation in cultural celebrations. Cultural-theological, institutional, and psychological factors interact in shaping tolerant attitudes. The study argues that tolerance is not produced by religious doctrine alone, but also by sustained interaction, exemplary community leadership, inclusive social norms, and responsive public institutions. These findings support the development of culturally grounded da’wah management in plural communities.

Blue Ocean Strategy in Da’wah: Reconfiguring Public Space and Value Creation in Ngopi Ngaji Trotoar Pamekasan

2026-10-15T11:40:02+07:00

The expansion of da’wah into nontraditional public spaces calls for an analytical framework that can explain changes in da’wah practice rather than merely document a shift in venue. This study examines da’wah innovation in the Ngopi Ngaji Trotoar activity in Pamekasan using the Blue Ocean Strategy framework, particularly the Eliminate-Reduce-Raise-Create (ERRC) framework, to examine how changes in da’wah practice contribute to value innovation and community engagement. The study employs a qualitative single-case study design based on interviews with eight informants, including organizers, preachers, biker community participants, and surrounding residents, as well as two direct observations. The findings identify three ERRC actions in the practice: the elimination of formal elements such as podiums and hierarchical seating, the enhancement of interaction and accessibility, and the creation of a format that combines religious study with community social activities. The Reduce dimension was not identified in the data. These changes generated five forms of value: religious, accessibility, experiential, relational, and community value. Value creation also involved co-creation, as participants moved beyond attendance to contribute ideas, invite others, assist with activities, and provide feedback, fostering a sense of community ownership. The findings extend the empirical application of ERRC in da’wah studies and indicate that innovation for young audiences can be achieved not only through digital technology but also through adapting space and activity formats to the characteristics of the target community.
