Syahnan, MA Publisher : Universitas Islam Negeri Sumatera Utara Frequency : 2 issues per year (June and December) HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY MIQOT: Jurnal Ilmu-ilmu Keislaman is among Indonesia's oldest academic journals dedicated to Islamic Studies, under the auspices of Universitas Islam Negeri Sumatera Utara (the State Islamic University of North Sumatra). It began informally in 1973, the university's inaugural year, and received formal recognition in 1976 from the Department of Information of the Republic of Indonesia. Over its 50-year history, MIQOT has adopted three variations of its title: MIQOT: Majalah Ilmu Pengetahuan dan Pembangunan, MIQOT: Majalah Ilmu Pengetahuan dan Kemasyarakatan, and finally MIQOT: Jurnal Ilmu-ilmu Keislaman. These changes reflect its dedication to progress and the evolution of Islamic Studies. In its early years, MIQOT served a dual role, publishing scholarly articles and providing updates on university activities to inform staff, students, and the public about institutional milestones. It occasionally included congratulatory messages and advertisements. However, by the late 1990s, MIQOT shifted its focus exclusively to academic studies in Islamic Studies, transitioning from bi-monthly to bi-annual publication and refining its editorial processes, manuscript reviews, and overall management. Entering the 21st century, MIQOT demonstrated its adaptability and commitment to excellence in journal management. After maintaining Sinta-2 accreditation from the Indonesian Ministry of Higher Education for two decades, it achieved a significant milestone in 2024 by being included in Scopus index, elevating its standing in the academic world. The journal continues to aim for improved management, more focused Islamic …

INFORMAL QARDH AL-HASAN AS COMMUNAL TRUST AND MORAL ECONOMY: Evidence from Iran
type: item
description: Informal Qardh al-Hasan funds represent an empirically understudied form of Islamic social finance, particularly in marginalized communities where formal financial institutions are inaccessible or perceived as religiously incongruent. This study examines the motivational architecture underlying participation in interest-free lending networks in Saravan, a marginalized district in Iran’s Sistan and Baluchistan province. Employing a sequential dual-method design, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was conducted on survey data from 210 fund participants to identify six latent dimensions: communal trust and social capital; financial accessibility and incentive structures; institutional constraints and governance perceptions; collective solidarity and mutual support; religiosity and spiritual motivation; and personal embeddedness and local financial culture. Bayesian Network Analysis (BNA) subsequently modeled the probabilistic interdependencies among these dimensions. Findings indicate that institutional dissatisfaction and religious conviction jointly activate communal trust, which facilitates financial accessibility, collective solidarity, and local embeddedness. Religiosity does not operate primarily as a direct behavioral determinant; rather, it functions as moral infrastructure through which trust is generated and collective financial action sustained. By demonstrating how religious commitment interacts with institutional perceptions, social capital, and embeddedness, this study extends Institutional, Social Capital, and Embeddedness theories and offers policy implications for culturally and religiously responsive financial inclusion in marginalized communities.

REPRESENTING RELIGION AND ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS IN INDONESIAN CHILDREN’S LITERATURE: Si Anak Pemberani and Si Anak Spesial
type: item
description: Abstract: This study examines religious messages concerning environmental degradation and natural disasters in Tere Liye’s novels Si Anak Pemberani and Si Anak Spesial through an Islamic ecotheological approach. Environmental crises encompass not only physical consequences but also spiritual and ethical dimensions. Children’s literature provides a strategic medium for cultivating ecological consciousness among younger generations, yet its potential remains underexplored in ecotheological scholarship. Employing a qualitative design, this study uses content analysis, the Miles and Huberman interactive model, and theoretical triangulation integrating Islamic ecotheology, literary studies, and environmental humanities. Correspondence with Tere Liye further indicates his sustained engagement with environmental issues in his literary works. The analysis generates three interrelated findings. First, environmental degradation and natural disasters are represented as consequences of human actions that violate the principle of khalîfah fî al-ardh, emphasizing human responsibility for environmental stewardship. Second, religious messages are expressed through moral courage, social piety, and ecological responsibility, framing environmental care as a form of worship. Third, Islamic ecotheology is communicated through characters’ lived experiences, fostering transformative and spiritually grounded environmental awareness. These findings demonstrate that children’s literature can function as a productive arena for articulating Islamic ecotheological perspectives and advancing value-based environmental education for younger readers and communities.

QURBANI AS SOCIAL REDISTRIBUTION: Class Boundary Negotiation and Solidarity in South Sulawesi
type: item
description: Traditional scholarship often focuses on dogmatic theology or nutritional outcomes of sacrifice, leaving a gap in understanding religious rituals as active social mechanisms for class negotiation. As such, this study is an attempt to examine Qurbani (sacrifice) as a non-state redistributive practice in South Sulawesi. Integrating Islamic Studies with sociological analysis, This research explores how this ritual facilitates situational solidarity within contemporary stratified societies by integrating Islamic Studies with sociological analysis. A multi-site qualitative case study was employed; data were collected through participant observation of slaughtering and meat distribution, in-depth interviews with donors, committee members, and recipients, and community document analysis across urban, semi-urban, and rural areas. The findings demonstrate that sacrifice functions as a ‘redistributive ritual’ embedded in Maqâshid al-Syarî‘ah principles, where the transfer of material resources temporarily softens symbolic class boundaries and promotes social justice. The novelty of this study lies in its articulation of ‘negotiated solidarity’—a situational corrective for social fragmentation. However, increasing digitalization reveals an ambivalence, where technocratic efficiency risks depersonalizing the relational encounters vital for social cohesion. This article contributes a new theoretical framework by positioning ritualized redistribution as a key mechanism for managing inequality in contemporary Muslim societies.
