The Role of Islamic Teachings in Advancing Renewable Energy Technologies: A Critical Review
The global energy transition towards sustainable and renewable resources is increasingly seen as a critical need for mitigating climate change, ensuring long-term energy security, and addressing growing environmental concerns. Islamic teachings offer a unique and profound ethical framework for advancing renewable energy technologies, grounded in principles of stewardship, balance, justice, and independent reasoning. This review critically examines the role of Islamic ethics in shaping sustainable energy practices, exploring the theological foundations of Khilāfah (stewardship), Mīzān (balance), ‘Adel (justice), and Etihad (independent reasoning), and their implications for environmental responsibility. Islamic stewardship emphasizes humanity’s role as caretakers of the Earth, entrusted with the responsibility to protect and preserve natural resources while ensuring their equitable distribution. The concept of Mīzān promotes the idea of maintaining ecological balance, urging responsible consumption and resource utilization to prevent environmental degradation. The principle of justice calls for fairness in energy access, ensuring that resources are distributed equitably, especially to underserved communities. Furthermore, the role of Etihad is highlighted in addressing contemporary environmental challenges by utilizing independent reasoning to adapt Islamic teachings to modern energy technologies, including renewable energy sources and Islamic financial instruments such as Green Suck. The review also considers the contributions of Islamic history, with examples of sustainable practices in the Andalusian period and Islamic water management systems, offering valuable lessons for today’s energy needs. The integration of Islamic finance, particularly Green Suck, into renewable energy projects is explored as a mechanism to provide funding and promote sustainability in the energy sector. Finally, the paper discusses the challenges and opportunities in integrating Islamic ethical frameworks into modern renewable energy policies and practices, offering recommendations for fostering collaboration between Islamic scholars, policymakers, and energy experts. By synthesizing Islamic values with contemporary energy technologies, this review provides a comprehensive approach to achieving a more sustainable and ethically grounded energy future.

علم النفس الديني: دراسة مقارنة بين المفهوم الإسلامي والغربي
Religious psychology represents a critical intersection between spiritual beliefs and psychological processes, exploring how faith, cognition, emotion, and behavior interrelate within diverse cultural contexts. This study aims to comparatively analyze the conceptual frameworks of religious psychology from both Islamic and Western perspectives, highlighting their philosophical foundations, methodological approaches, and practical applications. In Islamic psychology, human behavior is interpreted through the lens of spirituality, divine purpose, and moral responsibility, emphasizing the integration of the soul, intellect, and ethical conduct.

المعاصر الشرقية وإشكالية التجريد في الفقر الإسلامي
Poverty remains one of the most pressing issues facing contemporary Islamic societies and the world at large. Despite the enduring importance of social justice, equity, and compassion in Islamic teachings, poverty continues to be a persistent challenge, deeply ingrained in economic, social, and political structures. This study explores the problem of poverty in the context of Islamic thought, particularly focusing on the abstract theoretical frameworks developed within Islamic jurisprudence and their application in the modern era. It seeks to address the complexities of poverty by integrating Islamic ethical principles, such as justice and charity, into current economic and social practices. In the classical Islamic tradition, poverty was often discussed in terms of both material deprivation and spiritual poverty. The Islamic approach to poverty emphasized moral responsibility, social solidarity, and equitable distribution of wealth, underpinned by principles like Zakat (almsgiving) and Sadaqah (voluntary charity). However, the contemporary manifestation of poverty presents new challenges, particularly in the face of global inequality, political instability, and economic systems that often perpetuate wealth disparities. As such, this paper examines the way Islamic scholars and thinkers have approached the problem of poverty in both its material and spiritual forms, while addressing the issue of abstraction within Islamic jurisprudence and the need for its adaptation in the modern world. The concept of abstraction in Islamic thought raises a critical issue when it comes to addressing poverty. While classical Islamic texts provide a rich framework for understanding poverty, translating these principles into practical solutions in the context of today's complex socio-economic environment requires innovative interpretations. This study highlights the tensions between traditional Islamic teachings and contemporary needs, questioning how the abstract legal and ethical guidelines in Islamic jurisprudence can be adapted to modern poverty alleviation strategies. By focusing on the intersection of Islamic values and contemporary social challenges, this paper seeks to explore the role of Islamic institutions, such as Zakat, in addressing both the material and immaterial aspects of poverty. Additionally, it discusses the ethical implications of wealth distribution, the responsibility of individuals and governments in alleviating poverty, and the potential for Islamic economic models to offer sustainable solutions. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and contemporary case studies, this study aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on poverty in the Islamic world, proposing strategies that align with both the traditional Islamic framework and the realities of modern economic systems.

Through a mixed-methods approach combining surveys, content analysis, and interviews, the study investigates the patterns of engagement, trust in digital religious authorities, and the impact of online religious content on personal beliefs and communal behavior. Findings indicate that while new media offers unprecedented access to diverse religious perspectives, it also challenges traditional religious authority and encourages personalized interpretations of Islamic teachings. The study emphasizes the need for media literacy, critical engagement, and responsible online religious guidance to ensure that digital tools contribute positively to the spiritual and ethical development of Muslim youth.
