Early marriage is a social phenomenon that still frequently occurs in Indonesia and gives rise to various problems, both from the perspective of state law and socio-religious aspects. From the standpoint of state regulations, early marriage is considered a violation of statutory provisions, particularly the Marriage Law, which stipulates a minimum legal age for marriage in order to protect children's rights. This practice results in various negative impacts, including increased health risks for mothers and children, disruption of educational attainment, economic instability within families, as well as high rates of divorce and domestic violence. From the perspective of Islamic law, early marriage is not absolutely prohibited; however, Islam strongly emphasizes the principles of public welfare (maṣlaḥah), physical and mental readiness, and responsibility in establishing a household. Therefore, Islamic legal solutions to early marriage as a violation of state regulations can be implemented through the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah approach, which aims to protect life, intellect, and lineage, as well as by supporting state regulations intended to safeguard the rights and welfare of children. Consequently, synergy between Islamic law and state law is essential in preventing early marriage and in creating a healthy and just family structure.

This study investigates how faith-based giving can be transformed into measurable development impact in the education sector, focusing on the Global Muslim Philanthropy Fund for Children (GMPFC) established by the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) in partnership with UNICEF. Traditional Islamic philanthropic instruments, such as zakat and sadaqah, often provide short-term relief but lack structured governance, limiting their long-term impact on educational outcomes. Using a qualitative-explorative, this research analyzes secondary data from 2021–2025, including institutional reports, program documents, and peer-reviewed literature, to assess how GMPFC operationalizes faith-based resources through pooled, multilateral, and impact-oriented mechanisms. The findings indicate that GMPFC strategically funds education-enabling conditions, including child health, nutrition, psychosocial wellbeing, and youth empowerment, which are empirically linked to school readiness, retention, and learning quality. Comparative analysis shows that GMPFC outperforms traditional philanthropy and conventional aid by combining cultural legitimacy, institutional rigor, and alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Its governance model ensures standardized monitoring, fiduciary oversight, and cross-sectoral integration, addressing longstanding limitations of fragmented philanthropic delivery. Despite its effectiveness, the study highlights a lack of longitudinal learning outcome data, limiting precise quantification of educational impact beyond enabling conditions. Nonetheless, GMPFC exemplifies a hybrid development-finance model, demonstrating how Islamic philanthropic values can be operationalized to generate sustainable, measurable contributions to child education and human capital formation. These findings offer actionable insights for policymakers, development practitioners, and faith-based organizations aiming to scale philanthropic resources for education in vulnerable contexts.

This study examines the influence of teaching the classical text Hadiyyah al-‘Arus on the mindset of female students (santri putri) regarding their readiness for marriage: A case study at Pondok Pesantren Putri An Nur 1 (Asrama Az-Zubaidah), Malang. The research departs from the recognition that pre-marital education in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) should extend beyond mere Islamic legal aspects and actively shape the students’ mindset as well as their mental, emotional, and spiritual preparedness to embrace marriage as an act of worship (ibadah) and a sacred trust (amanah). The study employed a qualitative approach with field research design. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, and relevant literature review. The data were subsequently analyzed using descriptive-analytical methods to identify the relationship between the teaching of Hadiyyah al-‘Arus and the students’ marital readiness. The findings reveal that the systematic study of Hadiyyah al-‘Arus significantly shapes the students’ mindset. The santri no longer view marriage merely as a physical or social union but as a profound spiritual trust that demands religious, emotional, and moral preparedness. They emphasize the importance of selecting a spouse based primarily on religious commitment and good character (din and akhlaq), understanding the rights and obligations of husband and wife, and avoiding excessive or extravagant wedding celebrations (walimah). It can be concluded that Hadiyyah al-‘Arus serves as a highly effective medium for pre-marital education in the pesantren context, successfully fostering comprehensive understanding, positive attitudes, and awareness among female students toward building a tranquil, loving, and merciful family (sakinah mawaddah wa raḥmah). The study recommends the continued and systematic integration of classical turath texts into pesantren curricula as well as further research with broader and comparative scope.
