The Role of Muslim Community Participation in Mediating the Influence of Ukhuwah, Amanah and Islamic Value on Community Development

This study explores the role of core Islamic values ukhuwah (social solidarity), amanah (trust and responsibility), and other ethical principles in fostering community development and enhancing civic participation among Muslim populations in Indonesia. Focusing on strategic regions such as West Java, Central Java, and Yogyakarta, the research employs a quantitative approach, with data analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through SmartPLS software. The results demonstrate that all examined variables exert a positive and significant influence on both community development and Muslim civic engagement. Among these, amanah emerges as the most influential factor, underscoring the centrality of personal integrity and accountability in promoting collective action. The model exhibits high explanatory power, with R-square values of 0.942 for community development and 0.968 for community participation. These findings contribute to the growing body of literature on value-based social capital by illustrating how spiritual and moral dimensions serve as key drivers of inclusive and sustainable development within religious communities. The study offers both theoretical insights and practical implications for policy formulation, emphasizing the need to integrate Islamic ethical frameworks into culturally rooted community development strategies.
