Islamic Ḥiwār Framework (IHF): A KPI-Based Strategic Architecture for Intra-Faith Dialogue, Institutional Governance, and Civilizational Unity

This study introduces the Islamic Ḥiwār Framework (IHF), a multi-layered, KPI-based architecture developed to operationalize intra-faith dialogue within Islamic contexts by translating theological, ethical, and institutional principles into measurable performance indicators. Drawing from Islamic epistemology, dialogical ethics, and governance structures, the IHF addresses the need for a strategic, accountable, and scalable model for religious rapprochement. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining expert-based Delphi analysis, AHP-weighted indicator validation, and qualitative document review of intra-Islamic unity initiatives. The research identified ۱۴ strategic domains and ۲۸۰ KPIs distributed across educational, institutional, digital, jurisprudential, ethical, and governance axes. Key findings highlight the role of dialogical trust, ethical literacy, governance transparency, and AI-enabled feedback systems in sustaining meaningful rapprochement. The study recommends the adoption of IHF metrics by religious councils, seminaries, and ministries to support transparent, performance-oriented dialogue governance. Theoretically, the model bridges classical ijtihād with contemporary strategic frameworks such as Balanced Scorecard and digital maturity indices. Practically, it enables real-time monitoring, stakeholder engagement, and strategic planning aligned with maqāṣid-based institutional objectives. This research offers an original KPI-based contribution to Islamic studies, religious diplomacy, and civilizational strategy.
