The Practice of Amal Masjid in Madura
Authors: Mardhatillah Masyithah , Taufiq Muhammad
Published: July 2024

This paper aims to portray a practice called ‘amal masjid’ which is very popular at Madura. It is performed at the street to get donation for mosque(s) construction. However, local MUI (Majelis Ulama Indonesia; Indonesian Ulama Council) issued a legal regulation to forbid it. This condition comes to a problem because the practice is the real solution for funding source. On the other hand, its existence is problematic as it disturbs even endangers street users as well as the amal men. The primary data of this research is from observation and interview at two location of amal masjid in Pamekasan and Sumenep. This paper is going to answer three questions. First, to what extent does the amal masjid represent the identity of local Maduresse Moslems? Second, how do the Maduresse Muslim negotiate the amal masjid to the local government and other stakeholders? Third, how can the amal masjid be located as a distinctive local Muslim philanthropy and the blueprint on ideal philanthropy to the world?
Merumuskan Paradigma Sains Islam: Analisis Pemikiran Armahedi Mahzar
Authors: Haq Muhammad Faishal
Published: July 2024

Artikel ini menjadi bantahan terhadap teori yang menyebutkan bahwa sains dan agama itu berjalan sendiri-sendiri, dengan bidang garapan, cara dan tujuannya masing-masing, tanpa saling mengganggu. Alasannya, jika sains dan agama tidak saling bertegur-sapa, maka sains dan teknologi berpotensi mendatangkan mudarat bagi umat manusia. Sedangkan jika sains dan agama saling bertegur-sapa, maka sains dan teknologi diharapkan dapat mendatangkan maslahat bagi umat manusia. Relasi harmonis antara sains dan agama inilah yang dirumuskan oleh Armahedi Mahzar dalam konsep Integralisme sains Islam. Dalam Intergralisme, terdapat kesatuan hierarkis yang disebut sebagai integralitas. Integralitas mempunyai dua sumbu yang saling tegak lurus. Sumbu vertikal disebut sebagai dimensi-dimensi internalitas, sedangkan sumbu horizontal disebut sebagai dimensi-dimensi eksternalitas.

Muslim Science Thought from The Perspective of Abu Bakr Muhammad Zakariya ar-Razi
Authors: Unzilatun Nikmah  , Mawaddatul Jannah
Published: July 2024

Many prominent and renowned philosophers and scientists in their respective fields were born by the Islamic civilization. With his book Al-Hawi fi al-Ṭibb, al-Razi, one of the Islamic scholars, had a great influence in the world of science. Although he adhered to the theocentric and anthropocentric paradigms, he rejected the "prophetic understanding", which caused great problems and accusations of being al-mulḥid (atheist). This study aims to fulfill the author's desire to know and investigate the origins of the idea, al-Razi's perspective on the integration of religion and science, especially in the field of medicine, and its influence on the progress of science today, especially in the field of health and medicine. Data were taken from reference books and scientific journals. The data collection method used reading, note-taking, and document analysis. Data analysis was conducted through three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results of the research on his thoughts on prophethood and revelation are problematic but do not eliminate the divine nuances in his work in the field of medicine, the tendency towards communication and integration, where science and religion have the same goal, that Ar-Razi's work and treatment techniques contribute to modern society.
Leveraging Machine Learning to Assess the Impact of Energy Consumption on Global GDP Growth: What Actions should be taken Globally toward Environmental Concerns?
Authors: El-Aal Mohamed F. Abd , Mahmoud Hasan Amin Mohamed , Abdelsamiea Abdelsamiea Tahsin , Hegazy Marwa Samir
Published: July 2024

The study aims to explore the impact of renewable, nonrenewable, and nuclear energy consumption on global gross domestic product (GDP) growth through machine learning algorithms. The findings reveal that renewable energy consumption is the most influential variable, contributing to a predicted 67.5% global GDP growth. In contrast, nuclear energy consumption contributes 17.8%, and non-renewable energy consumption contributes 14.6%. Notably, the relationship between nuclear energy consumption and global economic growth is positive; there is a negative relation in conjunction with renewable energy consumption. However, the association with non-renewable energy is consistently fixed. These results suggest that an increased reliance on renewable energy may necessitate a trade-off, potentially leading to a reduction in global GDP growth despite the positive contributions from renewable sources.

Published: July 2024

The purpose of this study is to determine and analyze the effect of renewable energy integration variables and business approaches on improving the ability of the Indonesian electricity sector in a sustainable manner with carbon emission mitigation variables as a moderating factor. The subjects of this study are electrical energy users who are customers of PT PLN Persero as many as 85,600,000 people, where the variables in this study are endogenous variables, namely the variable integration of renewable energy and business approaches, while the exogenous variable is the improvement of the ability of the Indonesian electricity sector in a sustainable manner, and the moderating variable is the carbon emission mitigation variable, where the results of data analysis are processed through SEM analysis through SMART PLS 3.0 software. From the results of existing research, it is concluded that partially the renewable energy integration variable and the business approach variable affect the improvement of the ability of the Indonesian electricity sector in a sustainable manner and the renewable energy integration variable affects the mitigation of carbon emissions. Simultaneously, the variable of renewable energy integration and business approach affect the variable of increasing the ability of the Indonesian electricity sector in a sustainable manner through carbon emission mitigation as a moderating variable. With the renewable energy integration process we can mitigate carbon emissions in accordance with existing standards, where declining carbon emissions will create the ability of the Indonesian electricity sector in a sustainable manner, where the utilization of the sustainability of the electricity sector's capabilities requires a business approach that can be reached by underprivileged people so that later it can create affordable prices and make people's purchasing power easier, and avoid community losses due to global warming and climate change.

Authors: Paddu Abdul Hamid , Reviane Indraswati Tri Abdi , Saudi Nur Dwiana Sari , Djam’an Fitriwati , Zaenal Mirzalina , Sabbar Sabbar Dahham
Published: July 2024

This study investigates a fresh perspective on how natural resource rents (NRR) and quantity of natural resources (QNR) modulate the influence of fiscal decentralization (FD) and the Financial Development Index (FDI) on energy efficiency (ENE) and CO2 Emissions. We draw upon the Stochastic Impacts of Regression on Population, Affluence, and Technology framework, taking the BRICS countries as the subject of investigation from 1986 through 2021. Using a panel Method of Moments Quantile Regression with fixed effects, our results suggest that fiscal decentralization is favorable for environmental stability, particularly in BRICS countries with higher energy efficiency and CO2 Emission levels. Increased FDI proves environmentally harmful, with pronounced effects in more energy-efficient nations. Regarding direct influences, NRR and QNR hinder energy and CO2 efficiency, notably in countries with lower energy efficiency and CO2 emissions. Regarding indirect effects, NRR and QNR positively steer the impact of fiscal decentralization and the Financial Development Index on energy efficiency and CO2 Emissions, exhibiting stronger effects in energy-efficient nations. Among other control variables, Eco-Innovation (ECO_INNO), Solar energy production (SEP), Population (POP), and Economic Growth (GDP) foster environmental stability. We propose that fiscal decentralization should be based on a clear and responsible subnational government framework to counter rent-seeking behaviors and weak environmental conservation. Further, inclusive finance must strengthen the accessibility and cost-effectiveness of financial solutions for economic agents, promoting green consumption and investment initiatives to reach environmental stability and other Sustainable Development Goals.

Published: July 2024

This study investigates the mediating role of energy efficiency measures in enhancing manufacturing firm performance in Jordan. A conceptual model is developed linking organizational policies, culture, and government incentives to adoption of energy efficiency measures, which in turn impact organizational performance. Data was collected through a survey of 300 manufacturing firms across major industrial sub-sectors in Jordan including food, textiles, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, construction materials, and machinery. Structural equation modeling using SmartPLS software tested the hypothesized relationships. Results provide empirical support for the conceptual framework. Organizational policies, culture emphasizing environmental responsibility, and government incentives positively influence adoption of energy efficiency measures like process optimization, equipment upgrades, and lighting improvements. Greater adoption of these measures enhances manufacturing performance across various dimensions like efficiency, quality, flexibility, and competitiveness. Further, energy efficiency measures strongly mediate the links between organizational policies, culture, incentives and manufacturing performance. The study makes important theoretical contributions to the resource-based view and natural resource-based view in a developing economy context. It also offers actionable implications for manufacturing managers and policymakers regarding energy efficiency strategies and programs. Limitations relating to the cross-sectional design, self-reported data, and generalizability are discussed along with recommendations for future research using longitudinal, qualitative, and multilevel approaches. Overall, the study highlights energy efficiency as a critical capability for boosting competitiveness in manufacturing firms, with mediation analysis elucidating the underlying performance enhancement mechanisms.

This scientific research is devoted to the analysis of the impact of the development of the energy industry on economic growth in Kazakhstan. The work assesses the economic development of the country using the example of a comparative analysis of the state of the GDP level from 2011 to 2023. Particular emphasis is placed on increasing industrial production of finished goods. It stands out here that to ensure economic growth, the rapid pace of development of the domestic energy sector is not enough. The study emphasizes that electricity generation mainly comes from thermal power plants using coal. There is a high level of equipment depreciation and wear and tear, which leads to significant harmful emissions, delivery losses and a decline in electricity generation. Some attention is paid to intensifying the construction of renewable energy sources. Here, an economic and mathematical model was built and forecasting was implemented in order to determine the factors affecting the growth of electricity generation in Kazakhstan. To solve energy shortage issues and achieve economic growth, an investment mechanism is proposed using the example of PPP infrastructure energy projects. In order to enhance the influx of investment in the reconstruction and construction of new Kazakh energy facilities, mutually beneficial cooperation between the state and business within the framework of PPP approaches is justified. Key problems are identified and measures for economic growth and stimulation of development of the energy complex are proposed. It is recommended to intensify investments in the construction of nuclear power plants, new renewable energy facilities and innovative power plants.

Published: July 2024

Through an empirical analysis of the impact of taxation and tax refunds on the economic activity of the energy industry in Peru, this study seeks to provide an understanding of the economic effects of fiscal policies in a Latin American country with a significant energy sector. Relevant data on taxation and tax refunds in the Peruvian energy sector were collected and the effect of these variables on the main indicator of economic activity in the industry was evaluated. The results suggest that both taxation and tax refunds can significantly impact the economic activity of the energy industry, however, these effects are full when the output of this industry is at medium levels. In addition, the regressive effects of tax taxation can be offset by the positive effects of tax refunds. Overall, this research contributes to understanding the dynamics of fiscal policies in the energy sector of developing economies such as Peru, emphasizing the importance of tailored fiscal measures to promote sustainable energy development and economic growth.
Interplay of Volatility and Geopolitical Tensions in Clean Energy Markets: A Comprehensive GARCH-LSTM Forecasting Approach
Authors: Brik Hatem , Ouakdi Jihene El
Published: July 2024

In an era dominated by increasing global challenges and market volatilities, this study, firstly, embarks on an in-depth exploration of volatility transmission across clean energy stocks, crude oil and financial markets, emphasizing the underlying currents of geopolitical tensions. By using the advanced Multivariate Dynamic Conditional Correlation (MV-DCC) GARCH model, we unravel a landscape where volatility spillovers exhibit a distinct bidirectional nature, and geopolitical risk exerts a substantial impact, cascading from the oil market to financial markets and ultimately to clean energy stocks. Our findings underline the strategic importance of overweighting clean energy assets in a dual-asset portfolio that includes oil and financial equities to enhance investment strategies in turbulent market conditions. Secondly, we investigate the predictive power of oil and market-implied volatilities in forecasting clean energy market volatility by introducing a novel approach that melds the robustness of GARCH models with the flexibility of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, creating an innovative hybrid GARCH-LSTM framework. The empirical results demonstrate that this hybrid model significantly outstrips the predictive capabilities of traditional standalone models. Notably, while oil and market-implied volatilities substantially enhance prediction accuracy, the inclusion of historical data does not yield additional predictive value. The implications of our research extend beyond the analytical domain, resonating with financial practitioners and environmentally conscious investors who seek precision in valuation and foresight in market trends. For policymakers, the insights provided offer strategic guidance for developing robust clean energy policies. Overall, our research contributes a fresh perspective to the discourse on renewable energy investment, volatility forecasting, and the interplay between market dynamics and geopolitical risks.

Published: July 2024

Awareness of environmental issues and appropriate knowledge about solving them through "scalable acts and behaviours" help engage and contribute to environmental sustainability. Though there exist volumes of literature on green behaviours, there is a lack of literature on what motivates sustainable behaviour. The present study bridges this research gap by identifying green shared vision (GSV) and green value (GV) as antecedents of perceived environmental sustainability. The study is based on data collected from 384 respondents among gainfully employed samples from Saudi Arabia. The study used structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze the data. The findings show significant positive relationships between the variables, supporting the proposed model. The study has significant implications for sustainability and administrators, suggesting the need to improve strategies related to green behaviour.
Assessing the Tri-Dimensional Nexus of Energy, Environment, and Economic Growth in Pakistan: An Empirical Study
Authors: Muhammad Fida , Qayyum Abdul , Bawazir Abdullah Abdulaziz , Jan Meer , Ahmed Nazeer
Published: July 2024

The energy sector plays a crucial role in boosting economic growth and improving the standard of living in Pakistan. However, the extensive use of energy from different sources, such as hydel, nuclear, and thermal energy, has resulted in significant impacts on environmental degradation and negative health impacts for local communities. The study examined the tri-dimensional nexus between different types of energy use, economic growth, and environmental degradation in Pakistan using the ARDL regression model with data spanning from 1972 to 2021. The empirical findings show that overall energy consumption, including hydro, nuclear, and thermal energy, has a positive and significant impact on economic growth in both the short and long term. This suggests that energy consumption is the main driver of economic growth, emphasizing the need for a sufficient supply of energy to meet the economy's needs. On the environmental front, the study lends support to the existence of the EKC hypothesis in the context of Pakistan. However, in the long run, biocapacity in terms of forest products has a positive effect, whereas hydro, nuclear, and thermal energy have a negative effect on environmental quality. But in the short run, nuclear and hydroelectric energy have a positive but insignificant effect on ecological footprints. These findings suggest the need for Pakistan to focus on reducing the use non-renewable energy and promoting the use of cleaner energy sources to mitigate environmental impacts. This study also highlights the importance of policymakers considering the environmental consequences of energy and growth when making decisions in Pakistan.
Factors Affecting Households’ Electricity-Saving Behaviour: A Perspective on Sustainable Development
Authors: Vuong Tuan Khanh
Published: July 2024

As technology continues to advance, the demand for electricity increases, and resources become scarcer, awareness of energy saving and related issues is increasingly important and has been the focus of scholarly research in recent times. This study investigates the key factors influencing households' electricity-saving behaviour in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam, utilizing a convenience sampling approach. A total of 431 data samples were selected for examination. The research factors are attitude, social norms, personal moral norms, responsibility for energy-saving, degree of concern, policy, and social propaganda. These factors are expected to have an impact on perceived benefits and perceived behavioural control, which in turn are expected to positively influence the intention of HCMC householders to save electricity and engage in electricity-saving behaviours. The results show that all my hypotheses are accepted. This study identifies the key factors mentioned above that play important roles, as well as the two further factors of perceived benefits and perceived behavioural control, in shaping intentions for electricity-saving and the impact on electricity-saving behaviours. However, this study found that the degree of concern and policy and social propaganda do not significantly affect perceived benefit, contrary to the initial hypotheses. This study provides evidence and offers insights to policymakers regarding the key factors that influence households' intentions to save electricity and their electricity-saving behaviours. Furthermore, this research lays the groundwork for scholars to develop a comprehensive understanding and conduct further in-depth studies aimed at proposing solutions to enhance awareness of electricity-saving among individuals and organisations. These efforts benefit the community and address environmental concerns, aligning with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

This study aims to identify trends in the role of coal and solar energy consumption on climate change through existing and forecasting analysis as new evidence for the sustainable development goals launched by 2030. This research targets countries in the Asia Pacific, especially coal exporters (Indonesia and Australia) and coal importers (China). The basic model uses panel regression as the existing condition, which covers the period 2008-2023. Meanwhile, the forecasting analysis uses the ARIMA method, which covers the period 2024-2030. The findings of existing conditions include coal energy consumption contributing to increasing climate change. Meanwhile, solar energy consumption can reduce climate change. Furthermore, the forecast findings on average are climate change conditions of 5.237 million tons and coal energy consumption of 33,830 exajoules, but on average the annual growth rate is relatively small (0.91 percent for climate change and 1.46 percent for coal energy consumption). Meanwhile, solar energy has also increased with a small quantity of 2.40 exajoules, but the growth rate is relatively high (29.61 percent). This research recommends that the government massively increase the transition of clean energy consumption towards solar so that the mix can dominate for greater reductions in climate change in achieving sustainable development goals.

Published: July 2024

In this study, the influence of various factors on CO2 emissions in Uzbekistan during the period 1992-2020 was studied. The study examines the effect of forest area, urban population growth, renewable energy consumption, fossil fuel energy consumption, per capita energy consumption and industrial activity on observed CO2 emissions. Data were analyzed using multivariate linear regression, the D'Agostino skewness test, and the Anscombe-Glynn kurtosis tests. The results show that forest area has a significant negative correlation with CO2 emissions, suggesting that increased forest cover helps reduce emissions. Urban population growth shows a positive correlation with CO2 emissions, emphasizing the need for sustainable urbanization practices. Renewable energy consumption has been found to have a negative impact on emissions, promoting the adoption of clean energy sources. Fossil fuel energy consumption reveals a complex relationship, with different fuels contributing differently to emissions. Per capita energy consumption and industrial activity contribute significantly to emissions, requiring the adoption of energy-efficient technologies and sustainable industrial practices.

Published: July 2024

Research on Life Expectancy at Birth (LEB) and its relationship with several economic variables is interesting to be studied. LEB also describes the welfare condition of a country, where generally developed countries have a high level of LEB. This research will discuss the relationship between the variables of Life Expectancy at Birth (LEB), Corbon Dioxide (CO2) Emissions, Population Growth (PG), and Growth Gross Domestic Product (GDPG) in the case of Indonesia from 1950 to 2020. The aims of this study is to build a model of the relationship between variables LEB, CO2, PG and GDPG, and based on the best model obtained then will discuss the causal relationship between variables using Granger-Causality, Impulse Response Function (IRF), and forecasting and the proportion of error covariance decompositions. From the analysis results, the best model that describes the relationship between variables: LEB, CO2, PG, and GDPG is the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The results showed that there is a bidirectional relationship between the LEB variable and population growth. Partially, economic growth is proxied by GDPG affecting LEB and CO2 affecting PG. However, there was no effect of CO2 on LEB and GDPG in Indonesia. Based on the analysis results obtained, the chosen country is encouraged to consider the variables PG and GDPG in an effort to increase LEB in the future.

Ecuador has become a benchmark when it comes to sustainable electricity generation in recent years. This research is based on advances in the energy sector, with the aim of knowing the impact of the consumption of renewable electrical energy on economic growth. To carry out the study, annual time series data were used for the period 1990-2021, as well as the unit root tests proposed by Dickey and Fuller in 1981 and Clemente, Montañez and Reyes in 1998. In addition, the proposed by Bayer and Hanck which is the combined cointegration test and the autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL) to know the impact in the short and long term. Finally, to determine causality, the VECM Granger causality framework was used. The findings demonstrated a positive impact, for every 1% increase in per capita consumption of renewable electrical energy, economic growth will increase by 5.32% in the short term. However, in the long term, for every 1% increase in per capita consumption of renewable electrical energy, economic growth will contract by 0.85%.

Authors: Nikensari Sri Indah , Nurdiyanto Ega , Sing Yun Wong , Zahra Siti Fatimah
Published: July 2024

Trade and climate change are thought to be closely related. Sustainable trade cooperation with European Union (EU) countries is often linked to the issue of climate action and low carbon emissions. This research aims to examine the low carbon economy and the economic distance of ASEAN countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand) towards their exports to EU countries. A low carbon economy is measured by the intensity of GHG emissions, analysed from three scopes, namely CO2 from manufacturing and industrial processes (part of scope-1), CO2 from electricity consumption (part of scope-2), and CO2 from waste (part of scope- 3). Data source from Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR) and other sources, 2012-2022. Panel data regression with a gravity model is used in this analysis. The results show the implementation of a low carbon economy in ASEAN, so that in the future there seems to be continued trade between ASEAN countries and the EU. This is proven by the negative influence of carbon emission intensity scope-2, scope-3, and economic distance on increasing ASEAN exports, except scope-1. Low intensity means there is efficient use of resources for the economy, and low economic distance means trade is competitive.

The study examined the joint impact of vertical and horizontal strategies on competitive advantage. Data were collected from primary sources using a questionnaire Survey, administered to employees of ten manufacturing firms in Ogun state. A total of three hundred and eighty-four (384) copies of the questionnaire were distributed to the selected respondents as arrived at using the Taro Ya-mane formula. The hypotheses of the study were tested using the Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis in other to determine whether to accept or reject the null hypotheses (H0).  The results of the Pearson correlation coefficient rejected the null hypotheses (Null hypotheses 1 and 2) and accepted the alternative hypotheses 1 and 2. The final hypothesis was tested using multiple regression analysis. The result showed that both vertical integration strategies and horizontal integration strategy with coefficients of 0.556 and 0.843 had a positive and significant impact on competitive advantage. From the findings of the study, the study recommended that collaboration between companies in the same industry can lead to improved vertical integration and increased competitive advantage. The government should therefore encourage such collaboration through the creation of industry associations or other forums where companies can share knowledge and best practices.
Factors Influencing Audience’s Urban Preference through Mobile-Enabled Music
Authors: Zhu Zhi-Hui , Chen Han-Ying
Published: July 2024

People’s perception of and preference for cities have a close relationship with the shaping and transmission of the city’s image. This article explores the factors that influence the audience’s city preference by applying empathy theory to the mobile urban music “Xi'an People’s Song.” The branding of urban music and its mobile socialization appear to affect urban music empathy positively, although awareness has no significant effect. Urban music empathy fully mediates between branding and goodwill and between the social function of urban music and goodwill. However, the moderating effect of people’s familiarity with urban culture is not significant for urban music empathy and urban preference. The hypothesized relationships are further illustrated on this basis, and the optimization of urban music as a creative medium for promoting city image is discussed.

Published: July 2024

People with disabilities (PWDs) are considered one of the largest and most vulnerable communities, easily affected and harmed. As of December 1, 2022, Vietnam has over 7 million PWDs, accounting for more than 7.06% of the population aged 2 and older, with severe and extremely severe disabilities accounting for about 28.9%. Recent domestic studies have focused on creating capital and building working conditions for PWDs. However, there are still many limitations in terms of effectiveness. The number of unemployed PWDs tends to increase, amidst the general difficulties of the economy. The aim of this article is to clarify the factors influencing the employment opportunities with salary for people with disabilities after the Covid-19 pandemic. The authors directly collected data from 225 employed and unemployed PWDs in two major cities, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, from September 2023 to December 2023 through interview methods. Using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique on SPSS 20 and AMOS 20 software, the results show that factors strongly influencing employment opportunities for PWDs include their level of education and participation in organizations and employment support programs. The study contributes to understanding and implications for policymakers and labor users.

This study examines the mediating role of self-efficacy in the effective online learning of accounting students. Specifically, this study examines whether self-efficacy can mediate the influence of student attitude towards online learning and course suitability for online learning in universities. This study uses a questionnaire distributed to students from public and private universities. Six hundred and sixty-two responses were received. Using mediation analysis, this study shows that self-efficacy serves as a mediator for the relationship between attitudes towards online learning and online learning. This study shows a significant direct influence between attitudes towards online learning and online learning. The results of this study indicate that the correlation between the appropriateness of the course and online learning is similar and has a statistically significant direct influence. This study also shows that self-efficacy partially complements the mediation of the correlation. The findings in this study provide additional insight into the various factors that can impact the effectiveness of online learning environments. These findings can assist universities in formulating strategies to optimise the content, activities, and assessments within such environments, thereby increasing their overall effectiveness. Furthermore, this study contributes to the existing literature by examining self-efficacy as a mediating role in an online learning environment in Malaysian universities.

Dinasti Umayyah dianggap sebagai masa Dark Age of Islam oleh para sejarawan. Hal ini disebabkan oleh pertumpahan darah yang dilakukan oleh sesama umat Islam, seperti: (1) tragedi Karbala; (2) penjarahan Kota Madinah, serta; (3) melindungi Ka'bah dari pengepungan pasukan Umayyah yang mengakibatkan terbakarnya Ka'bah. Oleh karena itu, pada masa ini banyak tokoh yang mengklaim dirinya sebagai khalifah di Jazirah Arab untuk mengatasi konflik tersebut, salah satunya ialah Al-Mukhtar bin Abi Ubaid ats-Tsaqafi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peran Al-Mukhtar bin Abi Ubaid ats-Tsaqafi pada masa Dinasti Umayyah yang dianggap sebagai Dark Age of Islam. Penelitian ini mengaplikasikan metode sejarah dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Keterlibatan Al-Mukhtar bin Abi Ubaid ats-Tsaqafi dapat dibuktikan melalui peristiwa seperti: (1) Pengepungan Makkah yang dilakukan Dinasti Umayyah tahun 683 M; (2) Pemberontakan Kufah tahun 685 M; (3) Pertempuran Khazir tahun 686 M; (4) Pertempuran Harura dan Madhar tahun 687 M; dan lain sebagainya. Pada masa Dark Age of Islam ini, wilayah Jazirah Arab terbagi menjadi tiga kekuatan besar, yaitu Dinasti Umayyah (Suriah dan Mesir), Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr (Hijaz), dan Al-Mukhtar bin Abi Ubaid ats-Tsaqafi (Kufah). Pada akhirnya, kekuasaan Al-Mukhtar bin Abi Ubaid ats-Tsaqafi dikalahkan oleh Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr dan meninggalkan pengaruh terhadap ajaran Agama Islam Syiah, seperti: (1) konsep Bada', (2) doktrin Ghayba, dan (3) doktrin Raja'a.
