2025-04-28T10:06:50+00:00

This research examines the role of charity in Islam and Christianity, highlighting both the theological underpinnings and practical applications of charitable practices within each tradition. By employing a comparative analysis methodology, the study draws upon primary religious texts, including the Qur'an and the Bible, as well as secondary scholarly sources to explore the definitions, types, and ethical principles associated with charity in both faiths. Key themes such as compassion, social justice, and community responsibility are analysed to uncover commonalities and differences between Islamic and Christian charitable practices. Additionally, the research includes case studies of contemporary charity initiatives in Muslim and Christian communities, illustrating how these traditions address social issues such as poverty, inequality, and crisis response. Through interviews and surveys conducted with religious leaders and practitioners, the study also investigates the impact of interfaith collaborations on charitable efforts. The findings reveal that while both faiths emphasise the importance of charity as a moral obligation, the expressions and institutional frameworks differ significantly. This research contributes to the broader discourse on interfaith dialogue by demonstrating how shared values in charity can foster mutual understanding and cooperation between Muslims and Christians, ultimately suggesting pathways for collaborative efforts to address pressing societal challenges.

There are several efforts or steps offered towards Islamic humanist values such as emulating the noble qualities of Allah Swt (the Creator/God) in life., There is no application of sects or castes in any mosque because of equality of rank as servants of God's creation and the obligation to uphold justice based on Islamic religious law and the rules enforced in each region and need to have the will to analyze all forms of content of the teachings prescribed by the Islamic religion to be able to find ibrah or lessons from it. On the other hand, even if we look at Islamic education, of course these Islamic humanist values can indeed be said to be very much in line with the aims of universal Islamic education and in particular the formulation of Indonesian state education, which is oriented towards the realm of creed, worship and morals. Furthermore, regarding concrete manifestations in the reality of life, one of them can be applied as a basis in the realm of education and should be able to be packaged by collaborating with the nuances of custom or culture (local wisdom) of each region so that it has the implication of creating a more attractive impression and even maximizing the achievement of the desired goals, such as the example of the philosophical concept of “huma betang” in Central Kalimantan/the Dayak Ngaju tribe which carries three essential moral values, namely: a sense of kinship or familiarity with one another, a sense of togetherness or shared destiny and a sense of equality or equality of position as creatures created by God.
