Comparative Perspectives on Societal Decline: Ibn Khaldun, Toynbee, and Hegel
Authors: Tahir Zhilwan , Nuri Abdulwahed Jalal 
Published: February 2025

This article explores the nuanced theories of societal decline offered by Ibn Khaldun, Arnold Toynbee, and G.W.F. Hegel, each providing unique insights into the mechanisms of civilizational collapse. Ibn Khaldun’s concept of Asabiyyah underscores the role of social cohesion in sustaining a society, arguing that its weakening leads to internal fragmentation and eventual decline. On the other hand, Toynbee focuses on the failure of ruling elites to creatively respond to external challenges, such as environmental changes or military threats, viewing their rigidity as a critical factor in societal disintegration. Hegel presents a more philosophical perspective, framing decline as an integral phase in the dialectical process, where contradictions within a society propel it toward transformation and higher stages of development. By examining the interplay of moral, cultural, and political forces in these theories, the article sheds light on how different frameworks conceptualize rise and fall dynamics across civilizations, offering a comparative lens to understand historical patterns and contemporary challenges.
The State of the World Today and Considering its Future Viewed from a Global Historical Perspective
Authors: Spier Fred 
Published: February 2025

Este artículo analiza la situación actual del mundo presente y su posiblefuturo desde una perspectiva socioecológica global. Todos nuestros cambios globalespueden ser descritos como procesos que tienen lugar dentro de la biosfera, la finacapa exterior de nuestro planeta. Partiendo del libro de William H. McNeill The Pursuitof Power publicado en 1982, se argumenta que todos los procesos humanos estánimpulsados por una búsqueda de poder, aunque no todos los humanos lo persiganpermanentemente. Esto se demuestra al discutir dos conflictos violentos actuales:Palestina/Israel y Ucrania. Tras éstos, se analizan las principales tendenciasglobales, seguidas de una interpretación de lo que el futuro podría deparar. Aunquemuchos procesos específicos pueden ser pronosticados con cierto grado de fiabilidad,el futuro en su conjunto es inherentemente impredecible debido a la cantidadde interacciones, muchas de ellas derivadas de efectos aleatorios, mientras que otraspresentan efectos potencialmente grandes que pueden o no ocurrir. Al desarrollaraún más nuestro modelo teórico de la sociedad utilizando la sociología de NorbertElias como punto de partida, podría ser posible formular un paradigma general delcomportamiento humano para las humanidades y las ciencias sociales, buscando deeste modo generar un conocimiento más fiable de nosotros mismos y nuestra historiacomo habitantes del planeta Tierra.
This article discusses the state of the world and its possible future seen from a global socio-ecological point of view. All our global changes can be described as processes that take place within the biosphere, the thin outer layer of Earth. Departing from William H. McNeill’s book The Pursuit of Power of 1982 it is argued that all human processes are driven by this pursuit, even though not all humans are pursuing power all the time. This is demonstrated by discussing two current violent conflicts: Palestine / Israel and Ukraine. Subsequently, major global trends are discussed, followed by an analysis of what the future may bring. Even though many specific processes can be forecast with some degree of reliability, the future as a whole is inherently unpredictable because there are too many interactions, many resulting from chance effects, while others are small yet with potentially large effects that may or may not happen. By further developing our theoretical model of society using the sociology of Norbert Elias as a starting point, it may be possible to formulate a general paradigm of human behavior for the humanities and the social sciences, in doing so seeking to produce more reliable knowledge of ourselves and our history as inhabitants of planet Earth.

Authors: NGERI H.B GIMWAY  
Published: February 2025

This study, conducted in Kakamega County examined whether or not mirath is applied with regard to women; if there were any factors that promoted or impeded the application of mirath in the County and sort to identify strategies for implementation of mirath in the context of Islamic teachings and the Constitution of Kenya 2010. The study was guided by the Feminist Conflict Theory (propounded by Karl Max 1818-1883). Purposive sampling identified respondents from among the various segments of Muslims living in the County. The study employed a qualitative cross-sectional descriptive research design. Primary data was collected using interviews and focus group discussions from purposively sampled key respondents who included: Kadhi, Imams, widows, widowers, sons and daughters whose parents are deceased. Interview schedules and focus group discussion were the tools used. Secondary data was collected from the internet, journals and books. Data collected was analyzed thematically. This study examined the application of Islamic laws of inheritance with particular reference to Luhya indigenous Muslims and specific reference to women in Kakamega County. The findings demonstrated that the Luhya inheritance rules are patriarchal thereby favouring male children over females despite the advent of Islam in the region. The male chauvinistic tendencies in the Luhya community have pushed Muslim women to a subordinate and inferior position hence their intrinsic value is negated. The study established that Luhya inheritance rules are so entrenched that they have not been fully altered or replaced by the Shariah. Many respondents consented that Luhya Muslims still practice the indigenous patriarchal inheritance rules though they have adopted other Islamic beliefs and practices
The Concept of Ru'yat Al-Hilal According to Muhammad Quraish Shihab (Analytical Study of Q.S. Al-Baqarah: 185 in Tafsir Al-Misbah)
Authors: Abdul Muiz  , Romy Furqani  
Published: February 2025

Islamic science and understanding, the concept of ru'yat al-Hilal is a complex and interesting discussion. Muslims often argue about the interpretation and application of ru'yat al-Hilal. Many scholars and scholars have different views. In-depth study of this concept is relevant and important. An The problem raised in this study is how M. Quraish Shihab's interpretation of Ru'yat al-Hilal in QS. al-Baqarah and how the influence of M. Quraish Shihab's interpretation of Ru'yat al-Hilal on the current context. The purpose of this study is to find out M. Quraish Shihab's interpretation of Ru'yat al-Hilal in QS. al-Baqarah and to find out the influence of M. Quraish Shihab's interpretation of Ru'yat al-Hilal on the current context.The approach in this research is a qualitative type of literature (Library research), This involves data documentation activities through literature studies, especially related to the mufassir's views on ru'yat al-Hilal. The results of this study indicate that M. Quraish Shihab explained two important aspects related to ru'yat al-hilal in the verse, the first is that if someone has seen the moon with the naked eye, it is sufficient as a marker of the beginning of worship time. The second aspect he reveals is that the crescent moon acts as a timepiece both for humans and as an indication of the beginning of the time for the Hajj pilgrimage, because the time of worship is very important for Muslims. These interpretations are very influential in determining the beginning of Ramadan, as is the case with the Muhammadiyah and NU (Nahdhatul Ulama) organizations to this day.
Enforcement of Islamic Finance Contracts: A Comparative Study of Common Law And Shari’ah Court
Authors: Olaitan Abdulkabir Oladapo  
Published: February 2025

It is unarguably that Islamic finance is a fast-growing financial system that left everyone in bewilderment. Despite the blows of resistance to its growth, Islamic finance has grown to involve over three hundred financial institutions in both Muslim countries and international financial markets for the past three decades (Rodney, 2002). More than 50 Islamic Financial Institutions among the 600 institutions in the world today are situated in Africa (ICD, 2015 report). Coming down to Nigeria, an estimated size of United States Dollars (USD) 2.3 billion was recorded from the Islamic finance industry in 2021 (Amarachi and Ibrahim). Proponents of Islamic finance viewed the growth of Islamic finance as an “explosion”, describing it as the rise of Islam and an important trend in global finance (Umar and Ahmad, 2009). Despite all the business opportunities that Islamic finance proffers, enforcement of agreements arising out of Islamic finance principles especially in courts of common law origin poses a major hindrance to the speedy growth of Islamic finance across the globe with Nigeria as a case study. Employing a doctrinal methodology, this paper envisages that with proper orientation of customers and business people about the prospects of Islamic finance as an ethical and interest-free financial system, positive approach to Islamic finance by members of the public, acting within the scope of Shari’ah principles by parties to Islamic finance contracts and governmental supports together with conducive operational and legal frameworks, a progressive Islamic finance administration can be sustained in the society.

Emerging Economies' Influence in Shaping Global Governance Structures and Issues
Authors: Saqib Mahmood  , Ayesha Nawaz Malik  , Awais Ahmed  , Noor Fatima  
Published: February 2025

The global economy is transforming from a bipolar structure in which developed nations mainly control the global governance system to a multipolar structure mainly due to fast industrialization and economic growth of emerging economies. These countries, including China, India and Brazil, as they grow economically and politically, are pushing for the reform of international organizations to become more democratic. The emergence of new economic and political actors, for instance BRICS and G20 is an indication of the fact that these countries are working together to redesign new international relations architectures because traditional systems failed to address emerging challenges. This paper aims at analyzing the process of evolution of the emerging economies in the context of their participation in the global governance with a focus on their effects on economic, political and security dimensions. Using China, India and Brazil as the case, the paper shows that these countries are not only demanding changes in existing institutions but are also shaping new governance structures. Finally, the paper looks into the possible future environments for global governance with an emphasis on the necessity to develop a new, fairer model that would correspond to the trends of a multipolar world.

Exploring Social Issues in 'The Crybaby' Through Labovian Narrative Analysis Model
Authors: Nadia Bi Bi  , Muhammad Ali Shahid  , Shaista Kazim  
Published: February 2025

Narrative research is a framework of a qualitative research approach that involves the elicitation and analysis of stories to acquire a better knowledge of individuals, groups, and society. The content and structure of tales are used to develop and understand the information gathered through a narrative inquiry about persons and society. The purpose of this study was to conduct a qualitative investigation into Yudhi Herwibowo's short story "The Crybaby" to meet the study's objectives using the Labovian Narrative Analysis Model. The analysis of the lines taken from the text of the story demonstrates that society was callous and deaf to the cries of the orphans and that they were unable to provide a haven for them. When girls go to an orphanage, the grim picture of the orphanage reflects the savage and barbarous behavior of the workers who, instead of carrying out their responsibilities with integrity and caring for the helpless and the needy, treat them with an inhuman heart, tease them, molest them, and the girls are not safe there; they are rape who try their level best to leave that "Hell" even at the expense of their own lives.

Published: February 2025

Nutrition plays an important role not only in athletic performance but also in the recovery period. In terms of micronutrients, macronutrient intake and hydration and dietary supplements enhance both performance and recovery among athletes. Adequate nutrition influence muscles work, higher energy endurance and muscle strength besides supporting the recovery period after the exercise. The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact for various nutritional modifications in sports enthusiasts for carbohydrates and protein consumption, hydration, and supplementation on the martial arts’ performance and recovery, as well as other sporting activities. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted with 60 athletes from diverse sports, assigned to four intervention groups: carbohydrate loading, protein intake, proper fluid intake, and dietary supplementations including creatine, beta- alanine and branch chain amino acids. All the endurance, strength and recovery assessments such as time-to-exhaustion, one-repetition maximum (1RM) and blood lactate clearance were measured at baseline, halfway through the intervention and at the end. To evaluate the effectiveness of each intervention, data that were collected were also subjected to repeated measures ANOVA. Improvements were recorded in all the groups; however, the high carbohydrate group recorded the most pronounced improvement in endurance performance with time to exhaustion improving by 8. 2%. The high-protein group lifts significantly their strength by 9. 5% in 1RM squat whereas the supplementation group recorded the greatest enhancement in strength, power and recovery facets up to 12. 5% in 1RM bench press and muscle soreness decrease by 4. 2 points. These findings indicate that specific modifications in the diet in the form of carbohydrates for endurance runners and protein/creatine monohydrate for strength performers, can increase performance. Positive effects of hydration also became significant for endurance though their effects on the strength parameters were slightly smaller. The aids like creatine and beta-alanine are said to have shown significant results in enhancing strength, power and recovery. Proper nutrition really counts in an athlete’s abilities and even the time he takes to recuperate from an exercise. The best results can be achieved when nutritional strategies used are in line with sport and the athlete’s individual physiological adaptations. These findings make it beneficial for athletes and coaches to positively adopt sound progressive meal’s plan to enhance performance plus recovery time.
