Educational Shariah-Metric Analysis: Towards Attainments of an Effective Shariah Risks, Measurement, And Performance Indicators in Formal and Non-Formal Education Systems

This research introduces a robust, Shariah-centric analytical framework for the comprehensive measurement of risks and rigorous performance evaluation within the diverse landscape of Islamic education, encompassing both formal and non-formal institutions. The study pioneers Shariah-metric analysis as a conceptual innovation, meticulously adapted from Islamic finance paradigms and systematically anchored by the teleological precepts of Islamic jurisprudence, specifically the Maqasid al-Shariah. Key objectives include precisely delineating Shariah-metric analysis, proposing an exhaustive framework for Shariah risk measurement tailored to educational milieus, developing Shariah-compliant performance indicators aligned with Maqasid al-Shariah, critically examining extant Shariah governance and quality assurance protocols, and deriving pragmatic recommendations for stakeholders. The methodology integrates established Islamic pedagogical principles with advanced contemporary measurement techniques. For risk assessment, the paper advocates quantitative and qualitative approaches, including Scoring Mechanisms for Shariah Compliance Degree (SCD), the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) for expert consensus, and Bibliometric Analysis for discerning research trajectories. The investigation reveals singular Shariah non-compliance risks intrinsic to educational operations and curricular design, extending beyond financial aspects to encompass financial, curricular, pedagogical, ethical/moral, governance, and reputational domains. A salient finding is the inadequacy of conventional educational measurement paradigms to fully apprehend Islamic education’s holistic essence, which integrates moral, spiritual, and characterological formation. The study also underscores the imperative for differentiated performance metrics for formal and non-formal systems due to their distinct structures and objectives. In summation, this scholarly contribution aims to profoundly augment accountability, reinforce ethical governance, and foster holistic development within Islamic educational institutions. It contends that Shariah-metric analysis constitutes an indispensable epistemic tool for safeguarding the fundamental telos and unique identity of Islamic education, ensuring sustained integrity and impact.
