In recent months, there has been a remarkable surge in artificial intelligence (AI) development, with ChatGPT emerging as a notable application. ChatGPT, an OpenAI chatbot, achieved an impressive milestone of 100 million monthly active users within two months of its launch in January, making it the fastest-growing consumer application to date. Experts predict that AI will significantly impact 50 percent of businesses in the next five years. ChatGPT has already showcased its versatility in the medical field, aiding in tasks like medical exam preparation and serving as an in-office scribe. As its potential in healthcare continues to expand, ChatGPT holds promising prospects for the future. Additionally, research on AI and religion is gaining traction, exploring topics such as ethical implications, integration into religious practices, analysis of religious texts, interfaith dialogue facilitation, and the theological impact of AI on creation. The increasing number of scholarly publications on the subject indicates a growing interest in exploring the complex relationship between artificial intelligence and religion.
This study aimed to examine forgiveness among the Javanese population in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The proposed hypothesis was that a model of religiosity and interpersonal attachment would affect forgiveness, and agreeableness, and neuroticism would function as mediating variables. Three hundred and thirty-five individuals participated in the study. Data were collecting with a questionnaire on forgiveness, neuroticism, agreeableness, religiosity, and interpersonal attachment. The results showed that the model fit the data reasonably well. Thus, demonstrating that religiosity and interpersonal attachment affect forgiveness through agreeableness and neuroticism in the Javanese population in Yogyakarta. Furthermore, it was found that to improve forgiveness among this population, agreeableness should be maximised and neuroticism should be minimised.

IntroductionSharia-compliant banking plays a vital role in Indonesia's Islamic financial sector, balancing ethical principles and market competitiveness. However, assessing the performance of these banks requires tools that capture both financial viability and alignment with maqasid al-shariah, or the higher objectives of Sharia.ObjectivesThis study evaluates the performance of Indonesian Sharia-compliant banks using the Maqashid Index, which measures ethical contributions, and the Sharia Conformity and Profitability framework, which integrates financial outcomes with Sharia compliance. The research aims to identify key strengths and gaps in these banks' performance and compare the insights provided by these two frameworks.MethodA quantitative approach was adopted, analyzing data from five prominent Sharia-compliant banks in Indonesia over the 2010–2018 period. The Maqashid Index assessed contributions to education, justice, and public welfare, while the Sharia Conformity and Profitability framework evaluated financial performance and compliance with Islamic principles. Comparative analysis was employed to identify areas of alignment and divergence between the frameworks.ResultsThe findings revealed that while Bank Syariah Mandiri and Bank BNI Syariah excelled in both frameworks, others displayed significant gaps in education and public welfare contributions despite high Sharia compliance. Divergences between financial profitability and ethical objectives underscore the need for integrated performance metrics.ImplicationsThis study emphasizes the importance of balancing financial and ethical dimensions in Islamic banking. It provides actionable insights for policymakers and practitioners, suggesting a roadmap for enhancing both societal impact and financial sustainability.Originality/NoveltyThis study advances knowledge in Islamic banking by applying a dual-framework evaluation approach, highlighting the complementary roles of the Maqashid Index and Sharia Conformity and Profitability framework in assessing Sharia-compliant bank performance.
