The Effect of NPF and ROA on Capital Buffer with CAR as a Moderating Variable in Indonesian Islamic Banking
Banks serve as financial intermediaries that connect parties with surplus funds to those in need of financing. The soundness of a bank is influenced by capital adequacy, which is measured through the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR). One key aspect in maintaining capital resilience is the capital buffer, which functions as a reserve to absorb financial risks. However, Islamic banking in Indonesia faces challenges such as high Non-Performing Financing (NPF) levels and low Return on Assets (ROA), both of which have the potential to erode the capital buffer and threaten financial stability. This phenomenon is evident in the case of PT Bank Muamalat Indonesia Tbk, which experienced a 37% decline in net profit in 2017 due to rising NPF and declining profit-sharing income. This study aims to analyze: (1) the effect of NPF on the capital buffer, (2) the effect of ROA on the capital buffer, and (3) the moderating role of CAR in the relationship between NPF and ROA on the capital buffer. This research utilizes secondary data from the financial reports of Islamic banks for the period 2015–2022. Data analysis was conducted using panel data regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results show that, partially, NPF has a negative and significant effect on the capital buffer, with a probability value of 0.013 (< 0.05), indicating that an increase in non-performing financing weakens the bank’s capital capacity. Conversely, ROA exhibits a negative but insignificant effect on the capital buffer, with a probability value of 0.098 (> 0.05), suggesting that profitability efficiency does not directly strengthen the bank's capital reserve. Moderation testing shows that CAR does not moderate the effect of either NPF or ROA on the capital buffer, as indicated by the interaction probability values of 0.9184 and 0.9237 respectively (> 0.05). These findings imply that credit risk and profitability management are more strongly influenced by the bank’s internal policies than by CAR as a structural moderating variable. Therefore, effective NPF management and profit utilization strategies should become key priorities in maintaining the capital stability of Islamic banks.

Islamic education methods according to Abdurrahman An Nahlawi in his work Usul At Tarbiyyah Al Islamiyyah Wa Asalibuha Fi Al Bayt Wa Al Madrasah Wa Al Mujtama’. Islamic education methods are understood as the means used by educators to instill the values of faith, morals, and knowledge based on the Qur'an and Sunnah. An Nahlawi proposed three main methods, namely Hiwar (conversation) which fosters interaction and critical thinking, Qudwah (exemplary behavior) which emphasizes the role of teachers and parents as moral models, and Mumarasah wa 'Amal (practice and practice) which connects theory with real practice. These three methods are considered relevant in contemporary learning because they are able to strengthen the teacher-student relationship, foster spiritual character, and integrate Islamic values in modern life.

Implementation of Niyyah Values to Increase Islamic Religious Education Students' Learning Motivation
Problems in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning are often characterized by low student learning motivation, which is evident from the lack of participation, perseverance, and active involvement in the learning process. This condition indicates a gap between students' physical presence and mental and emotional involvement in learning. One effort that can be made is to internalize niyyah values as a spiritual foundation in learning. This study aims to analyze the implementation of niyyah values in PAI learning and their impact on student learning motivation. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, with PAI teachers and eighth-grade students at SMPN 2 Cileunyi Bandung as research subjects. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis used the interactive model of Miles and Huberman which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of niyyah values carried out through the habit of straightening intentions, strengthening the meaning of worship in learning, and a reflective approach can increase students' intrinsic motivation. Students showed changes in attitude to be more active, diligent, and have a higher awareness of learning. Thus, the implementation of niyyah values has proven effective in increasing learning motivation while strengthening the holistic character formation of students in Islamic Education learning.

Social Media, Family Relations, and the Millennial Generation: A Hadith Review
This study aims to examine the impact of social media on millennial family relationships from the perspective of the Prophet’s hadith. The background of this research is grounded in the rapid development of social media, which has significantly transformed patterns of interaction and communication within families. Social media provides easy access to information and expands connectivity among family members; however, it also presents challenges, including the decline in the quality of face-to-face interaction, the weakening of emotional bonds, and shifts in moral and ethical values within household life. This research employs a qualitative approach using thematic (maudhu‘i) analysis. A number of hadith related to family harmony, communication ethics, responsibility, time management, and moral development are analyzed descriptively and analytically to identify normative principles relevant to the digital context. The findings indicate that the Prophet’s teachings emphasize the principle of balance (wasatiyyah), collective responsibility within the family, and the importance of ethical communication as the foundation of family resilience. Hadith concerning guarding one’s speech, managing time proportionally, and prioritizing family obligations remain contextually relevant in the era of social media. In conclusion, social media should be positioned as a supportive tool for family harmony rather than a disruptive factor, provided its use is guided by ethical and spiritual values rooted in the Prophet’s teachings.

Language And Culture in Learning Arabic from A Psycho Sociolinguistic Perspective
Humans are naturally driven to express emotions, views, and aspirations through language as the primary tool of communication. Language not only reflects the identity of a community but also serves as a means of conveying cultural values, building identity, and engaging in social interaction. From a psycho-sociolinguistic perspective, language and culture are closely intertwined and mutually influence each other. Culture affects how individuals process information and think, while language serves as a reflection of a society’s norms, traditions, and communication patterns. Arabic language learning, particularly in Indonesia, often focuses on grammatical aspects (nahwu and sharaf), while cultural aspects are frequently neglected. However, understanding the cultural context is essential for enhancing students' communicative competence. The psycho-sociolinguistic approach offers an integration of language and culture in Arabic language learning to make it more relevant to real-life situations. By using authentic texts, simulations, and integrating Arab cultural values, students not only master linguistic aspects but also comprehend the social and cultural contexts behind them.This study employs a library research method by analyzing various scholarly sources. The research findings indicate that integrating culture into Arabic language learning improves contextual understanding, develops communicative competence, and motivates students to learn Arabic holistically. Implementation strategies include using culture-based materials and interactive simulations, while the main challenge regarding teacher’s limited cultural mastery can be addressed through training and providing relevant learning resources. The psycho-sociolinguistic approach offers profound insights into the relationship between language, culture, and society, emphasizing the importance of understanding Arabic not only as a linguistic science but also as a means of cross-cultural communication.

Philosophy of Science (Epistemology of Science)
In the modern era, advances in technology and information impact all aspects of human life, both personally and socially, including the human mind. The ease of accessing information through sophisticated technology, the rapid flow of information, and the ease of access even across continents, have led to a sense of dependency and weakened reasoning, making it easy to believe in inaccurate information or knowledge. To avoid these negative impacts, one needs to understand the origins, methods, steps, and procedures that enable the acquisition of knowledge. The purpose of this article is to understand how something becomes true knowledge, and how it aligns with human reason and logic. This study utilizes library research, utilizing library materials as the primary source. The approach employed a qualitative approach. The results show that epistemology is a specialized field of philosophy that aims to acquire knowledge about knowledge. In this case, it is knowledge derived from conscious sensory absorption, whether old or newly acquired. Scientific knowledge can be considered true when we draw correct conclusions. This inference process is called logic.

The Disruption of Digital Evidence in Criminalizing the Spread of Deepfakes: A Positive Criminal Law Analysis and the Perspective of Al-Fiqh Al-Jinayah
The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly deepfake technology, has significantly disrupted the criminal law evidentiary system, especially concerning the reliability of electronic evidence. Deepfake enables highly realistic manipulation of audio-visual content, making it increasingly difficult to distinguish between authentic and fabricated evidence. This poses serious challenges to both the evidentiary process and criminal liability in technology-based crimes. This study aims to analyze the disruption of digital evidence caused by deepfake technology and to examine the challenges of criminal liability based on Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning the Second Amendment to the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law) and the perspective of Islamic criminal law (fiqh jinayah).This research employs a normative legal method with a statutory and comparative approach. The data consist of primary and secondary legal materials, analyzed qualitatively using a descriptive-analytical method. The results indicate that although Indonesian positive law recognizes electronic evidence as legally valid, the regulation regarding its validity and verification mechanisms particularly for evidence generated through deepfake technology remains inadequate. This creates legal uncertainty and potentially disrupts the pursuit of material truth in criminal proceedings. Furthermore, issues of criminal liability become more complex due to difficulties in identifying perpetrators and proving elements of intent or negligence. From the perspective of Islamic criminal law, evidentiary principles emphasize authenticity and credibility, allowing electronic evidence to be accepted through qiyas, provided that strict standards of validity are fulfilled.

Respecting the Flag from an Islamic Perspective and State Regulations in Indonesia
This research examines the view that saluting the Indonesian flag, which does not follow Islamic law, constitutes shirk (associating others with God). Although flag salutation has symbolized national unity since 1945, some modernist and Islamist groups consider it shirk. Islamic views on flag salutation are divided: the permissive perspective treats it as nationalism and patriotism, not shirk, if it is not seen as worship; the critical view equates it to idolatry, which belongs solely to Allah; and the moderate stance allows it when intended as nationalism, emphasizing intent and context. Using a literature review, the study explores historical, legal, and religious aspects of flag salutation and its societal effects. Despite differing opinions among scholars, the Indonesian government enforces flag salutation under Law No. 24 of 2009. The study concludes that flag salutation, as a patriotic act, aligns with Islamic values, promoting unity and national integration.

Hadith on Moral Education: Critical Ethics for the Young Generation in the Era of Disruption
The era of disruption has brought significant changes to social and cultural life, particularly through the development of digital technology, which influences the mindset and behavior of the younger generation. Widespread access to information, on the one hand, provides opportunities for self-development, but on the other, it also presents challenges in the form of the rise of negative values such as individualism, instant gratification, and a decline in ethical standards. This situation demands strengthening moral education that can foster critical thinking and integrity. This study aims to analyze the moral values in the hadith and their relevance to the moral education of the younger generation in the era of disruption. The method used is an analysis of four hadith related to the values of honesty, empathy, brotherhood, gratitude, and patience, through the takhrij approach, classification, and interpretation of the hadith. The results show that all the hadith studied are considered authentic and contain universal moral principles relevant to building the character of the younger generation. These values include careful distinction between what is permissible and what is forbidden, the importance of honesty and brotherhood, empathy for others, and gratitude and patience in facing life. Implementing hadith-based moral education can be a solution to address the moral crisis in the modern era, as it not only instills ethical values but also fosters critical thinking skills. Thus, hadith-based moral education plays a crucial role in shaping a young generation with morals, resilience, and the ability to adapt wisely to changing times.

Qur'anic literacy among minority communities, such as the Kokoda Tribe, faces significant challenges, particularly in Qur'anic reading and writing learning (BTQ). This study aims to analyze the engagement of Kokoda Tribe students in BTQ learning, focusing on three aspects: behavioral, emotional, and cognitive. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with students and teachers, and documentation of learning activities at MTs Emeyodere. The findings show that student engagement is greatly influenced by emotional factors, especially curiosity about the Qur'an. Students demonstrate high behavioral engagement in physical activities during lessons, although cognitive challenges, such as Arabic letter pronunciation influenced by local dialects, remain obstacles. This study concludes that social and cultural factors strongly affect student engagement in Qur'anic learning, with emotional engagement more dominant than cognitive. The implication of this research is the importance of teaching approaches that consider students' cultural backgrounds to improve the effectiveness of Qur'anic learning.

The Terminology of Thuma’ninah in the Qur’an: Al Qurtubi’s Interpretation and Mental Health Relevance
The rising cases of stress, anxiety, and mental health disorders highlight the growing need for inner tranquillity. The Qur’an introduces the concept of al-thuma’ninah, yet its meanings across different verses have not been comprehensively examined through the lens of classical exegesis. Previous studies largely focus on semantic or contemporary approaches, leaving a gap in understanding how classical scholars conceptualised thuma’ninah. This study addresses this gap by analysing the meaning of al-thuma’ninah according to al-Qurtubi’s Tafsir al-Jami‘ li Ahkam al-Qur’an, using qualitative library research and thematic analysis of Qur’anic verses derived from the root ط-م-أ-ن. The research aims to identify the categories of thuma’ninah and explore their relevance to mental health. The findings show that al-thuma’ninah is a multidimensional concept encompassing epistemological reassurance, psychospiritual calm, steadfast faith under pressure, social stability, and illusory worldly tranquillity. These results affirm its relevance as a spiritual foundation for modern mental well-being.

Analysis of the Effectiveness of Internal Supervision in Minimizing Problematic Financing in Murabahah Products (Study of BPRS Rajasa, Central Lampung)
This study aims to describe the internal control system at BPRS Rajasa Lampung Tengah and analyze its effectiveness in minimizing non-performing financing (NPF) on murabahah products. A qualitative descriptive-analytical method was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Primary data were obtained from management and marketing staff of BPRS Rajasa, while secondary data came from financing nominative reports and the NPF report as of December 2025. The findings reveal that BPRS Rajasa has implemented an internal control system through an independent internal audit unit conducting periodic file checks, collateral verification, and payment monitoring via a core banking system. Nevertheless, the NPF ratio as of December 2025 stood at 5.70%, exceeding OJK's 5% maximum threshold, with 257 out of 1,772 customers (14.49%) experiencing problematic financing: 40 in Special Mention, 48 Sub-standard, 64 Doubtful, and 145 in Loss category. Key challenges include inter-departmental miscommunication and weaknesses in initial customer selection. The internal control system is assessed as not yet fully effective, as it has been unable to reduce NPF below the regulatory threshold, though it has contributed to prevention and early detection of problematic financing.

Transformation of Santri Identity in the Era of Globalization: A Systematic Literature Review of Cultural Hybridity, Digitalization, and Pesantren Resilience
Amidst the massive escalation of globalization and the phenomenon of digital disruption, the identity of santri (Islamic boarding school students) is undergoing a fundamental transformation from traditional-exclusive patterns toward a more dynamic, adaptive, and hybrid identity construction. This study aims to comprehensively map the dynamics of santri identity transformation using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of various reputable scientific literatures. By implementing the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol, 14 primary articles published between 2021 and 2026 were analyzed in-depth through qualitative synthesis techniques. The findings identify three main pillars of identity shift: (1) the internalization of information technology, such as the implementation of the Santri Identity Card (SIC) and the Pedatren management system, which have transformed into new instruments for data-based character discipline (digital behavioral control); (2) the emergence of a "hybrid identity" where santri are capable of negotiating religious values within secular public spheres and social media through glocalization strategies; and (3) the strengthening of structural resilience through the "Hybrid Leadership" model of Kyai, which integrates traditional charisma with modern participatory management. This research concludes that pesantren institutions have successfully executed a "Technology for Character" strategy, where modernity is adopted without degrading traditional roots. The results provide significant implications for the development of Islamic education policies in shaping the profile of the "New Santri" globally competitive individuals who remain firmly grounded in the principles of Islam Nusantara’s religious moderation.

Contextualization Of Hadith By Syuhudi Ismail As A Method Of Understanding Contemporary Hadith
The study of the understanding or matan of hadith has become the focus of study of contemporary scholars after the discontinuity of transmission and the absence of new transmission. Unlike the classical scholars who focused on the study of the hadith, contemporary scholars discuss the meaning or content of the hadith because this is considered important to be understood and then practiced by Muslims. In the study of the meaning of hadith, many contemporary scholars contextualize hadith to bring the meaning of hadith closer to the current context. One of the Indonesian scholars of hadith who contextualized hadith is Syuhudi Ismail through his book Textual and Contextual Hadith of the Prophet by characterizing some of the traditions listed as temporal, universal and local traditions after analyzing the asbabul wurud and the existence of the 'illat of the hadith. This research uses a qualitative method, literature review by making the book by Syuhudi Ismail as the primary source and other scientific articles as secondary sources.

Historical Traditions and Linguistic Analysis in the Interpretation of the Qur'an: Comparison of the Tafsir of Jawāhir al-Hisān and Ma'ālim at-Tanzīl
The classical tradition of interpretation is rich in the diversity of methodologies developed by the mufassirs, especially in the form of summary writing. This research aims to compare the interpretation patterns of al-Baghawi and ats-Tsa'alibi in order to reveal unique characteristics, considering the status of these two works as a result of the transmission and summary of previous authoritative works. The focus of the study is directed at the interpretation of QS. al-Fatihah [1]: 2 which represents the typology of theological verses-praise, and QS. an-Nisa’ [4]: 34 which represents the typology of legal verses and social relations. This research uses comparative analysis methods, the results of the research show that al-Baghawi tends to use a moderate bi al-ma'tsur approach with a concise but history-intensive presentation. In contrast, Ats-Tsa'alibi highlights deeper integrative characteristics in linguistic, grammatical (i'rab), and contextual analysis, although it remains based on history. On the issue of nasyuz, both agree on the stages of the wife's education, but Ats-Tsa'alibi is more detailed in exploring linguistic meanings to provide preventive limits on injustice. This study contributes to the treasures of tafsir studies by mapping the transmission of classical commentators' scholarship as well as clarifying the methodological position of these two figures in Islamic intellectual history. This research confirms that the accentuation distinction between pure history approaches and linguistic-contextual analysis is not merely technical, but rather a mufasir response to the needs of different times.

Integrating Self-Determination Theory (SDT) into Islamic Education in the Digital Era: A Systematic Literature Review (2020-2026)
This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) aims to explore the integration of Self-Determination Theory (SDT) within the Islamic educational ecosystem during the era of digital disruption (2020–2026). The primary focus of this research is to dissect the interaction between basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence, relatedness) and transcendental values such as Adab (ethics), Ikhlas (sincerity), and Mas’uliyyah (responsibility). Utilizing the PRISMA protocol, this study analyzes 52 reputable scientific articles to synthesize the theoretical gap between modern learner autonomy and spiritual authority in Madrasas and Pesantrens. Methodologically, the findings indicate a research transformation toward complex structural model testing (SEM) and the validation of contextual psychometric instruments. The results demonstrate that digital innovation plays a dual role: enhancing technical autonomy while simultaneously demanding a reinforcement of the teacher's role as a moral scaffold. This research successfully conceptualizes the "Spiritual Motivation" model, wherein learning is viewed as a manifestation of Fitrah (innate human nature) to seek divine blessings. It is concluded that SDT principles maintain high compatibility with Islamic pedagogy within a theocentric framework. These findings provide a theoretical contribution to Islamic educational psychology and offer practical guidance for educators in managing student motivation in the Society 5.0 era without reducing spiritual identity.

Analysis of the Determinants of Academic Procrastination among Students an Intrinsic and Extrinsic Factors Perspective in the Context of Islamic Religious Education
Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta Academic procrastination is a recurring issue among university students, including those enrolled in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) programs, and it negatively affects learning effectiveness and academic performance. This behavior is characterized by delaying the initiation, process, or completion of academic tasks despite being aware of the potential consequences. This study aims to identify and analyze intrinsic and extrinsic factors contributing to academic procrastination among PAI students based on findings from national empirical studies. This research employs a library research method by reviewing six national articles that meet the following criteria: (a) discussing determinants of academic procrastination, (b) focusing on PAI students or students in Islamic higher education institutions The findings reveal that dominant intrinsic factors include low learning motivation, weak self-regulation, physical and psychological fatigue, lack of self-confidence, and difficulty maintaining concentration. Meanwhile, dominant extrinsic factors consist of task overload, academic pressure, organizational commitments, digital distractions, online gaming addiction, weak lecturer student communication, and insufficient learning facilities. Additionally, some studies highlight that PAI students face additional challenges such as overlapping religious activity schedules and spiritual obligations, which may influence academic prioritization. These results demonstrate that academic procrastination among PAI students is a multidimensional phenomenon shaped by psychological, academic, environmental, and spiritual factors. Therefore, comprehensive intervention efforts are needed, including strengthening self-regulation, time management, and integrating Islamic spiritual values as an ethical foundation for academic discipline in Islamic higher education.

The Application of Burhani Epistemology in the Learning of Aqidah and Akhlak on the Material of Faith in the Last Day to Improve Students' Critical Thinking and Rational Beliefs
Problems in learning Aqidah Akhlak often arise due to the dominance of teacher-centered lecture methods, making students passive and less able to think critically or understand religious teachings rationally. This issue appears clearly in learning the material of faith in the Last Day, which generally emphasizes memorization without providing space for philosophical and rational reasoning. This study aims to apply the principles of Burhani epistemology in learning Aqidah Akhlak on the material of faith in the Last Day to improve students’ critical thinking and rational belief. This research employs a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design (Static Group Comparison Design), involving two groups: an experimental class using Burhani-based learning and a control class using conventional methods. Data were collected through critical thinking tests and rational belief questionnaires, then analyzed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, and t-tests. The results show that the data are normally distributed (Sig. > 0.05), not homogeneous (Sig. < 0.05), and that there is a significant difference between the two groups (Sig. 0.000 < 0.05). The average score of the experimental class increased to 89.47, while the control class increased to 56.00. Thus, the application of Burhani epistemology is proven effective in enhancing students’ critical thinking and rational belief, as well as integrating reason and revelation harmoniously. This approach is relevant for Aqidah Akhlak instruction to develop logical thinking, strong faith, and scientific morality in students.

Formulation of Islamic Religious Education Teacher Competencies to Foster Digital Morals of Students in the Social Media Era
The rapid development of social media has created a disjunction between the moral values taught in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) and students' complex and often problematic digital behavior. PAI teachers are at the forefront of facing the challenge of guiding students to navigate ethically in cyberspace, yet their functions and competencies have not been adequately defined to meet today's demands. This study aims to critically analyze the conceptualization and implementation of PAI teachers' pedagogical functions in shaping students' digital morals and ethics, identify the fundamental problems they face, and formulate a new, relevant competency model. Using a qualitative approach with a literature review method analyzed through thematic synthesis, this study integrates findings from various credible scientific sources. The analysis shows that PAI teachers are in the process of reconceptualizing their function, shifting from normative instructors to facilitators and moral role models in the digital world. However, its implementation is hampered by fundamental problems including the digital literacy gap, psychological burden, and a lack of systematic institutional support. In response to these challenges, this study formulates a new competency model for Islamic Religious Education teachers consisting of six main pillars: (1) critical digital pedagogy, (2) proactive moral guidance, (3) ecosystemic collaboration, (4) contextual learning design, (5) personal resilience and adaptability, and (6) education policy advocacy. This model offers an integrated framework to equip Islamic Religious Education teachers with the capabilities needed to effectively shape a digitally competent, ethically mature, and morally upright young generation. This study has implications for the need for reform in teacher education curricula and professional development policies for religious educators in the digital era.

Sale of Inherited Land Without Heirs' Agreement: Analysis of the Basic Agrarian Law in Margorahayu Village, Mesuji
This study examines how the practice of selling inherited land without the consent of all heirs occurred in Margorahayu Village and analyzes its legal implications under the Undang-Undang Pokok Agraria. Field findings show that the disputed land remains part of an undivided estate (boedel waris) and has never been formally distributed among the heirs. Nevertheless, one of the heirs unilaterally sold the land through a private agreement acknowledged only by village officials, without executing an authentic deed before a Land Deed Official (PPAT). This action triggered family conflict and created uncertainty regarding the legal status of ownership. The research applies an empirical juridical approach with a qualitative descriptive method, drawing on field observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The data are examined by assessing whether the material and formal requirements for the transfer of land rights were fulfilled, in light of theories of authority and legal certainty. The findings indicate that the transaction suffers from a defect of authority because it lacked the consent of all co-heirs and failed to meet formal legal requirements, thereby rendering it legally voidable and highlighting the gap between local social practices and the national land law system.

The Position and Authority of the Ombudsman in the Government Administration Supervision System: Synergy and Tension with the Authority of the PTUN
This research aims to analyze the position and authority of the Ombudsman in the government administration supervision system and examine its functional relationship with the State Administrative Court, especially in the context of synergy and tension of authority. This research uses normative juridical methods with a legislative, conceptual, and case approach. The data used is in the form of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials that are analyzed qualitatively through descriptive-analytical methods with deductive reasoning. The research results show that the Ombudsman and the State Administrative Court have different but complementary authority characters, where the Ombudsman acts as a preventive and corrective non-judicial supervisor, while the State Administrative Court acts as a repressive judicial institution and provides legal certainty. On the one hand, there is a potential for synergy between the two in strengthening the administrative supervision system through a tiered and mutually supportive dispute resolution mechanism. But on the other hand, there is tension in authority caused by paradigm differences, legal force, and the absence of a clear coordination mechanism, which implies legal uncertainty and the effectiveness of supervision. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen institutional regulation and coordination to optimize the relationship between the two institutions in realizing an accountable and fair government.

Genealogy and the Dialectics of Modernity: Tracing the Historical Roots of Nusantara Islamic Education Hybridity (17th Century to the Digital Era)
This article analyzes the genealogy and dialectics of modernity as a strategic foundation for the transformation of Islamic education in Nusantara from the 17th century to the digital era. The study aims to dissect the consciousness structure behind the evolution of Islamic educational institutions as they transition from traditional entities to contemporary hybrid models. Using a qualitative design with a historical-phenomenological approach, this analysis traces the historical trajectory starting from the Jawi-Haramain transnational networks, the pesantren system, to the dialectical responses against colonialism and digital disruption. Research findings indicate that Islamic education in Indonesia has successfully constructed a 'third space' through 'genius acculturation,' shielding the institution from the dichotomy of secularism and extreme conservatism. The dialectics between tradition and modernity have produced competitive hybrid typologies that are now evolving into digital ecosystems. The study concludes that the transformative power of Nusantara Islamic education lies in its resilience in reconciling divine authority with technological literacy, offering a prototype for future Islamic education that is resilient to global disruption without losing its spiritual identity.

Minor Dynasties to the West and East of Baghdad
This study aims to analyze the small dynasties that emerged in the western and eastern regions of Baghdad during the Abbasid Caliphate. Using a qualitative descriptive method and a literature study approach, this research collects data from various literature sources such as books, journals, and relevant articles. The analysis is carried out through stages of reduction, categorization, and interpretation of the collected literature. The main focus of this study is on the basic principles of developing teaching materials that are relevant to the curriculum, effectiveness, efficiency, as well as theoretical approaches in the fields of education, language, and teaching material development. The small dynasties that emerged as a result of political disintegration in the 10th century demonstrate how local groups such as the Persians and Turks established dynasties like the Tahirid, Saffarid, and Samanid in the eastern region of Baghdad, and the Idrisid, Aghlabid, and Tulunid in the western region of Baghdad. Although most of these dynasties did not last long, they played an important role in maintaining regional stability and introducing semi-autonomous governance that connected peripheral regions with the center of the caliphate. This study is expected to provide a deeper understanding of the political dynamics during the disintegration of the Abbasid Caliphate and its contribution to the development of Islamic civilization at that time.

Analysis of ChatGPT Utilization by Islamic Education Students from the Perspective of the Foundations of Islamic Education
Advances in information and communication technology, particularly in the form of artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT, have brought significant changes to the world of education, including in Islamic Religious Education (PAI). This study aims to analyze the use of ChatGPT by 7th-Semester Islamic Religious Education (PAI) students in Class D, 2024, at UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung, focusing on its suitability with the foundations of Islamic Education. This technology, although offering easy access and efficiency in learning, is not designed to consider profound Islamic values, such as wisdom, etiquette, and tawhid, which are the basic principles of Islamic education. This study used a quantitative approach with a survey method, collecting data through questionnaires distributed to 34 PAI students. The analysis results show that students tend to use ChatGPT in a positive and responsible manner, despite the potential for dependence on this technology, which can reduce the depth of understanding of the study of the Qur'an and Hadith. With a very high reliability of the research instrument (0.946), these findings indicate that the use of ChatGPT can enrich the learning of PAI students, provided that it continues to consider the principles of Islamic education in its application. This research confirms that technology integration in Islamic education, when conducted with moral and ethical awareness, can enrich learning without neglecting essential religious values. Going forward, technology integration, such as ChatGPT, in Islamic education can continue to be developed while maintaining harmony between technological innovation and Islamic scientific principles.

Religious-Rational as an Epistemological Framework for Islamic Education: A Critical Review of the Thoughts of KH. A. Wahid Hasyim
Contemporary Islamic education still faces an epistemological problem in the form of a dichotomy between religious and general knowledge, which has the effect of reducing the meaning of education. Religious knowledge is often understood in a normative-dogmatic manner, while general knowledge develops within a framework of instrumental rationality with minimal value orientation. This article aims to analyze and reconstruct the religio-rational concept in the educational thought of KH. A. Wahid Hasyim as an epistemological framework for Islamic education. This research uses library research with a conceptual-philosophical analysis approach to relevant works and literature. Data are analyzed using content analysis and conceptual synthesis techniques to uncover the relationship between revelation, reason, and moral values in education. The results of the study indicate that religio-rationalism positions revelation as a source of values and ethical orientation, while reason functions as a rational instrument in understanding reality and developing knowledge. This framework rejects the epistemological dichotomy and offers a validity of truth that is not only logical and empirical, but also oriented towards social welfare and moral formation. This article concludes that religio-rationalism is a relevant epistemological foundation for the renewal of integrative, humanistic, and contextual Islamic education in facing the challenges of modernity.

Postponement of Marriage due to Inability to Read the Qur'an in Community Traditions Perspective of Munakahat Fiqh and Maslahah Murlah
The tradition of requiring the ability to read the Qur’an for prospective brides and grooms in Lambu District, Bima Regency, represents a living socio-religious practice with strong normative influence in the marriage process. In practice, this tradition may lead to the postponement of the marriage contract for individuals who have not yet met the required level of Qur’anic literacy. This study aims to analyze the legal status of the Qur’an-reading tradition from the perspective of Islamic marriage jurisprudence (fiqh munakahat) and to assess its relevance through the approaches of maslaḥah mursalah and ‘urf. This research employs a qualitative method with a juridical-sociological approach. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, and analyzed using descriptive-analytical techniques. The findings indicate that the ability to read the Qur’an is neither a pillar nor a legal requirement for the validity of marriage according to classical fiqh and the Compilation of Islamic Law. Nevertheless, this tradition may be categorized as valid custom (‘urf sahīh) because it does not contradict Islamic legal texts and serves to strengthen religious values within marriage. From the perspective of maslaḥah mursalah, the tradition contains clear benefits, particularly in the form of premarital religious guidance and the enhancement of moral readiness among prospective spouses. Therefore, the Qur’an-reading tradition should be maintained as a form of religious guidance, provided that it is not positioned as a mandatory legal requirement for the validity of marriage.

Spirituality and Ethics in Surah Al-Fajr: A Comparison of Al-Misbah's and Al-Azhar's Tafsirs
This study examines the dimensions of spirituality and ethics in Surah Al-Fajr through a comparative study between Tafsir Al-Azhar by Buya Hamka and Tafsir Al-Misbah by M. Quraish Shihab. The main issue raised is how the messages of the Qur'an respond to the moral crisis and modern materialism. Using a qualitative method with a comparative interpretation approach, this study analyzes the interpretations of the two exegetes on key verses concerning divine oaths, the history of previous peoples, trials of sustenance, and the concept of peace of mind. The results show that both exegetes agree that faith is the core response to life's trials and emphasize that Islamic spirituality is inseparable from social responsibility. The fundamental difference lies in their interpretive orientation: Quraish Shihab in Tafsir Al-Misbah emphasizes a rational-contextual approach and linguistic analysis to correct the theological paradigm. Conversely, Buya Hamka in Tafsir Al-Azhar tends to use a moral-social and Sufi-applicative approach linked to inner experience and social reality. This study concludes that the integration of these two approaches provides a solid normative foundation for the formation of public ethics and transformative spirituality in the contemporary era.

The Use of Wordwall Media Based on Problem Based Learning and Its Impact on Students' Mathematics Learning Outcomes
This research was motivated by the low mathematics learning outcomes of students and the use of conventional, passive learning media that made students feel bored during the learn-ing process. Monotonous and less engaging learning activities caused students to lose moti-vation to learn. In addition, the lack of opportunities for students to directly experience and practice the learning material became an obstacle in understanding the concepts being taught. Therefore, efforts were needed to improve students’ learning outcomes by providing treatment through more interactive learning media based on problem solving, namely Wordwall media based on Problem Based Learning (PBL). The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a significant effect of using Wordwall media based on PBL on the mathematics learning outcomes of Grade III students. This study employed a quantita-tive approach using a one-group pretest-posttest design. Data were collected through ques-tionnaires and analyzed using normality tests and t-tests. The results showed an increase in questionnaire scores before and after the use of Wordwall media based on PBL, with the average score increasing from 6.8 to 15.5. The researcher found that the use of Wordwall media based on PBL had a significant effect on the learning outcomes of Grade III students. The significance test result was 0.000, and since 0.000 < 0.05, the null hypothesis (H₀) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Hₐ) was accepted. This indicates that the use of Wordwall media based on PBL had a significant effect on students’ learning outcomes.

Application of SWOT Analysis in Determining the Business Strategy of the Kafi Mart Cooperative, Wali Songo Islamic Boarding School
This study aims to analyze the application of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis in determining the business strategy of the Kafi Mart Cooperative at the Wali Songo Sukajadi Islamic Boarding School. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, structured interviews with managers, employees, students, and the surrounding community, and documentation. Data analysis utilized data reduction, data presentation, and verification. The results indicate that Kafi Mart's strengths include a captive market of students, a strategic location, support from the Islamic boarding school, and customer loyalty. The main weaknesses lie in its undigitized management system and limited product variety. Development opportunities stem from trends in the Islamic boarding school economy and business digitalization, while threats stem from competition from nearby stores and changing consumer preferences. Recommended strategies include strengthening digital management, product diversification, and improving service quality. The application of SWOT analysis has been proven to assist the cooperative in formulating a more systematic and sustainable business strategy.

Religious Music According to the Perspective of Ustaz Adi Hidayat and Ustaz Khalid Bassalamah
This study aims to examine the differences and similarities between Ustaz Adi Hidayat and Ustaz Khalid Basalamah regarding the Islamic ruling on music. Music is a universal phenomenon that holds not only aesthetic value but also emotional, social, and spiritual influence on human life. In Islamic discourse, debates about the permissibility of music have persisted for centuries, mainly due to the absence of explicit Qur’anic verses that either prohibit or permit it. This research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach to explore the arguments of both scholars from legal (fiqh), social, and cultural perspectives. The findings indicate that Ustaz Adi Hidayat allows music as long as it conveys positive meaning and does not contradict Islamic principles, while Ustaz Khalid Basalamah prohibits music because it may distract believers and harden the heart. Through this comparison, the study seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the position of music in Islam and to encourage a balanced attitude in evaluating art through a religious lens.

Investment Risks in Commodity Futures Trading from a Sharia Economic Perspective
Commodity Futures had become a rapidly growing investment instrument in Indonesia since the enactment of Law Number 10 of 2011. Data from the Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency indicated a significant upward trend in trading volume, highlighted by a major surge in 2022 reaching 14.97 million lots. While offering substantial opportunities for investors through hedging functions and price discovery, futures trading also carries high risks due to market volatility and speculative tendencies. Accordingly, financial literacy particularly from a Sharia economic perspective plays a crucial role in strengthening public understanding of associated market risks. This article aims to analyze commodity futures trading within the framework of Islamic economics, emphasizing principles of justice, transparency, and the prohibition of riba (interest), gharar (uncertainty), and maysir (gambling). The National Sharia Council of the Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI) Fatwa No. 96/2015 on Sharia hedging serves as a key reference in assessing the conformity of PBK practices with Islamic law. This research employs a literature study method by reviewing relevant academic sources, regulations, and fatwas. The findings show that futures trading is permissible under Sharia principles as long as it supports real economic needs, ensures transparency, and remains free from harmful speculative practices. Thus, increasing Sharia-based financial literacy and risk comprehension is essential in encouraging prudent public participation while safeguarding Sharia compliance and supporting sustainable economic development.

Study of the Principle of Ad-darurah Tubih Al-mahzurat in Islamic Criminal Law: The Case of Euthanasia
Euthanasia is a global issue that continues to be debated, especially from a legal and ethical perspective. In Islamic law, the principle of protection of life (hifz al-nafs) is the main basis for rejecting the practice of euthanasia. However, there is a fiqh principle Ad-darurah tubih al-mahzurat which permits prohibited actions in emergency situations, thus giving rise to debate whether this principle can be applied to euthanasia. This study aims to examine the application of this principle in the context of euthanasia based on Islamic law and compare it with positive legal regulations in various countries. The research method used is a qualitative study with a normative approach, involving literature analysis from classical books, fatwas of scholars, Islamic legal journals, and positive legal regulations. The results show that Islamic law generally rejects euthanasia because it is considered contrary to the principles of maqasid sharia. Although there are fatwas that permit certain medical procedures in emergency situations, euthanasia remains categorized as an act that is not permitted by Islamic criminal law. In contrast, several Western countries have legalized euthanasia with strict regulations, unlike Muslim countries, which generally prohibit the practice. The conclusion of this study confirms that the application of emergency rules in euthanasia must consider the principles of maqasid sharia as well as broader ethical and legal aspects. Therefore, further study and coordination between Islamic scholars, medical professionals, and policymakers are needed to formulate regulations that align with Islamic principles and developments in modern medicine.

Deconstructing the Common Link Theory: Analysis and Critique in Hadith Studies
The study of the authenticity of hadith has been a topic of interest including to orientalists. Some of them doubted the authenticity of the traditions on the grounds that the isnad emerged late and many traditions had only one route of transmission hence their historical validity was questionable. In addition, they disagree with the methods of sanad and matan criticism used by hadith scholars in determining the validity of a tradition. The main objective of this study is to understand the approach they use in scientifically analyzing hadith. The method used is to see how the orientalists developed their theories to distinguish between authentic and fabricated traditions. One such theory is the common link theory. This theory was first introduced by Joseph Schacht and further developed by G.H.A. Juynboll. Common link refers to the transmitter who is considered responsible for the transmission of a hadith. However, this theory has been criticized by other orientalists such as Azami, Nabia Abbott, and Sezgin. Juynboll was even considered to be imaginative in developing this theory. In response, he attempted to strengthen his argument by explaining the working principles and logical basis of the theory and comparing it with conventional methods in hadith studies to determine which method is more feasible.

The Role of Islamic Religious Education in Shaping Anti-Hoax Attitudes and Wise Digital Literacy in STITMA Yogyakarta Female Students
This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in shaping anti-hoax attitudes and wise digital literacy among female students at STITMA Yogyakarta. This study uses a qualitative approach with case study and phenomenology methods. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations of female students in the Islamic Religious Education Study Program, supported by library data as secondary sources. The results show that Islamic Religious Education plays a significant role in shaping anti-hoax attitudes through the internalization of Islamic values, particularly tabayyun, the prohibition of slander and gossip, trustworthiness, and moral responsibility in digital media. These values encourage female students to be critical, verify information, and refrain from spreading unconfirmed information, including religious hoaxes. However, this study also found challenges in the form of the rapid flow of digital information and limited critical digital literacy skills. Therefore, strengthening digital literacy based on Islamic Religious Education values through contextual learning and applicable educational programs is an important requirement in building ethical and responsible digital behavior.

Strengthening Technology-Based Student Self-Leadership through the Socialization of the Zotero Application in the Islamic Education Management Study Program at IAIN Takengon
The rapid development of technology in the digital era has significantly influenced higher education, including students of the Islamic Education Management (MPI) Study Program at IAIN Takengon. While technology provides broader access to information and learning resources, it also increases the risk of plagiarism due to the ease of obtaining data without proper management. This study aims to describe the strengthening of student self-leadership through the socialization of the Zotero application as a technology-based strategy. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, socialization activities, and documentation. The findings reveal that Zotero socialization positively impacts students’ self-leadership in three aspects: (1) self-awareness, where students recognize the importance of digital reference management as a preventive measure against plagiarism; (2) self-regulation, which enhances their ability to organize learning and writing systematically through library folders and consistent citation practices; and (3) self-motivation, which fosters both internal and external encouragement to produce high-quality academic work. Thus, Zotero functions not only as a reference management tool but also as a medium for cultivating self-leadership relevant to the demands of the digital era. This study concludes that integrating technology into learning supports digital literacy, academic independence, and student productivity, aligning with the vision of the MPI Study Program at IAIN Takengon to produce adaptive and integrity-driven graduates in Islamic education.

Dropshipping is a growing digital business model in e-commerce. However, from an Islamic economic perspective, this system creates legal dilemmas related to product ownership and contract transparency. This study aims to analyze the relevance of Yusuf Al-Qaradawi's maqashid sharia to the dropshipping concept to determine whether this business model complies with Islamic economic principles. The research method used is a qualitative approach based on literature review, with deductive and comparative analysis of maqashid sharia. The results show that dropshipping can be implemented in Islamic economics, provided there is clarity in the contract, transparency of information, and protection of consumer rights to avoid gharar. Therefore, clearer sharia regulations are needed for dropshipping practices to ensure compliance with maqashid sharia.

Painting of Living Creatures from an Islamic and Western Perspective
Painting of living creatures is a form of artistic expression that reflects the cultural views and values ​​of the society that created it. This journal aims to explore the differences in views between Islamic and Western traditions regarding the painting of living creatures, and the impact of these differences on the development of art. In the Islamic context, the depiction of living creatures is considered taboo based on the hadith that prohibits imitation of God's creation, so Islamic art places more emphasis on calligraphy, geometry, and non-figurative motifs. In contrast, Western painting, especially since the Renaissance era, shows freedom in depicting humans and nature with a realistic approach, as done by famous artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. This study aims to analyze the fundamental differences in worldview, theology, and aesthetics between the two artistic traditions. Using a cross-cultural comparative approach, this study fills a gap in the study of painting of living creatures that has not been widely discussed in the modern context. Data were obtained through a literature review that included artworks, historical documents, and analysis of religious texts and theories. This type of research is qualitative research with a comparative approach, which focuses on a comparative analysis between two different artistic traditions in the context of the representation of living creatures.

The Influence of the Utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on Islamic Religious Education and Character Education Learning at State Senior High School 14 Bandar Lampung
The rapid development of digital technology has driven the transformation of educational practices through the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as an adaptive, interactive, and data-driven learning innovation. In the context of formal education, including Islamic Religious Education (PAI), the utilization of AI has the potential to measurably enhance instructional effectiveness while simultaneously strengthening students’ cognitive and affective domains. However, its implementation must be balanced with ethical foundations and moral responsibility to minimize the risks of technological misuse. This study aims to analyze the effect of AI utilization on students’ PAI learning outcomes and character development at SMA Negeri 14 Bandar Lampung. A quantitative approach was employed using a cluster sampling technique. Data were analyzed using SPSS through the Tests of Between-Subjects Effects. The findings indicate that AI utilization has a significant effect on improving PAI learning outcomes (F = 15.528; p < 0.05), with an R² value of 0.250, suggesting that 25% of the variance in learning outcomes is explained by AI usage. Furthermore, the effect of AI on character development demonstrates a stronger influence (F = 123.594; p < 0.05) with an R² value of 0.726, indicating a substantial contribution to students’ character formation. These findings confirm that AI integration impacts not only academic achievement but also the reinforcement of values and attitudes. Future research is recommended to expand the sample scope, develop more comprehensive experimental designs, and incorporate mediating and moderating variables to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms through which AI influences PAI and character education learning.

The Contribution of Islamic Religious Education Teachers’ Social Competence in Enhancing Students’ Learning Motivation at Al Kautsar Senior High School and Al-Azhar Senior High School in Bandar Lampung
The development of technology and the evolving characteristics of adolescents in the modern era require teachers not only to possess pedagogical competence but also adequate social competence in establishing harmonious, communicative, and inspiring interpersonal relationships. As Islamic-based educational institutions in Bandar Lampung, SMA Al-Kautsar Bandar Lampung and SMA Al-Azhar Bandar Lampung exhibit distinctive religious characteristics that are relevant to be examined, particularly in the context of the contribution of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers’ social competence to students’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the social competence of PAI teachers in both schools is categorized as good, as reflected in effective communication skills, empathetic attitudes, openness, and exemplary behavior in social interactions. Students’ learning motivation, both intrinsic and extrinsic, is also categorized as good. The findings suggest that teachers’ social competence contributes positively to enhancing students’ learning motivation, as harmonious interpersonal relationships are able to create a conducive, participatory, and meaningful learning environment. Based on these findings, future research is recommended to examine more deeply the influence of teachers’ social competence using quantitative or mixed methods approaches in order to obtain more measurable levels of effect. Furthermore, future studies may be expanded to different educational levels or other relevant variables, such as teachers’ personality competence, learning environment, and the role of technology in enhancing students’ learning motivation.

Living Theology of the Punggahan Tradition in the Javanese Ethnic of Paya Lombang Tebing Tinggi
This study entitled “Living Theology in the Punggahan Tradition among the Javanese Ethnic Community in Paya Lombang, Tebing Tinggi” aims to analyze the Punggahan tradition as both a socio-cultural-religious phenomenon and a manifestation of living theology. This research employs a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method through observation, interviews, and documentation involving religious leaders, community figures, and members of the Javanese ethnic group. The findings indicate that the Punggahan tradition serves not only as a ritual for welcoming Ramadan but also as a space for integrating social, cultural, and religious values in everyday life. From a socio-cultural-religious perspective, this tradition plays an important role in strengthening social solidarity, togetherness, and harmonious relationships within the community through activities such as communal prayers, grave visits, shared meals, flower bathing rituals, and mutual forgiveness. From the perspective of living theology, the Punggahan tradition demonstrates how Islamic theological values such as gratitude, monotheism (tawhid), Islamic brotherhood (ukhuwah Islamiyah), self-purification, charity, and prayer are lived and practiced in a concrete and contextual way. These values are not only understood conceptually but are embodied in daily communal practices passed down from generation to generation. Thus, it can be concluded that the Punggahan tradition represents a form of harmony between religion and culture, serving not only a social function but also standing as a real manifestation of living theology in the life of the Javanese community.

Regulation of Polygamy in the Conflict of Norms between State Law and Islamic Law in Indonesia
The clash between state law and Islamic law in regulating polygamy in Indonesia reflects a dual approach to viewing this practice. In the state legal system, the practice of polygamy is restricted by strict administrative requirements, such as the obligation to obtain a court permit and the consent of the first wife as essential conditions. Under Islamic law, polygamy is permitted provided the primary condition of the ability to act fairly is met, without the necessity of following formal state regulatory procedures. This study employs a qualitative approach through a literature review, examining various legal regulations and Islamic literature to identify forms of normative conflict and their implications for the practice of polygamy. The research findings clearly indicate that the practice of polygamy without official permission from the court and without following the applicable regulatory procedures in Indonesia is still widespread and has the potential to cause legal conflicts, as well as infringe upon the rights of women and children. Therefore, efforts are needed to harmonize the law in order to prevent illegal practices and ensure the protection of the rights of all parties in a fair and just manner.

Al-‘Amm Al-Khash: A Study of General and Specific Verses
The use of ‘Amm (general) and ‘Khas (specific) expressions in the texts of the Qur'an and Hadith, as well as the importance of interpretative principles in understanding Islamic law. The Qur'an was revealed as a guide for life, encouraging Muslims to use their intellect. However, the diversity of language styles and the Arabic language's nature as the language of revelation requires scholarly tools, including interpretative principles, to avoid errors in interpretation. The research methodology uses a qualitative approach based on library research, involving primary and secondary sources to analyze the differences in meaning between general expressions (‘Amm), which encompass multiple meanings without limitation, and specific expressions (‘Khas), which have particular meanings. The study results indicate that ‘Amm expressions can remain general, convey specific meanings, or undergo takhsis (restriction), while ‘Khas expressions are limited to a particular entity or attribute. This study provides in-depth insights into the significant influence of ‘Amm and ‘Khas expressions on understanding Sharia texts and establishing Islamic law.

Analysis of Ustaz Hanan Attaki's Sermon on Flexing the Morals of the Young Generation
The phenomenon of flexing in the digital era is a behavior that demonstrates a wealth of achievements or lifestyle to gain social recognition, especially among the younger generation. This phenomenon not only impacts social and psychological aspects but is also related to moral and spiritual issues. This study aims to analyze Ustaz Hanan Attaki's lectures on flexing and their relevance to Islamic religious education. This study uses a qualitative approach with a library research type sourced from books, journals and Ustaz Hanan Attaki's lecture content on YouTube. The results show that flexing behavior can encourage hedonistic consumerism as well as riya’ (riya’), arrogance and tadzib (conceitedness), which are contrary to Islamic values. Ustaz Hanan Attaki's lectures are delivered with a communicative and persuasive approach so as to foster moral awareness of the younger generation in facing the culture of showing off on social media.

Emulating the Morals of the Prophet Muhammad in the TikTok Era: The Eradicate Sense of Shame and Modesty of Muslim Youth Based on QS. Al-Ahzab verse 21
Technological advancements and the increasing use of social media, particularly TikTok, have had a significant impact on the behavior of Muslim adolescents in Indonesia. While these platforms open up opportunities for creativity, they also have the potential to erode norms of modesty and weaken the sense of shame as an Islamic moral value. This study aims to analyze the interpretation of Quranic Surah Al-Ahzab verse 21 from a contemporary exegetical perspective and its relevance to the moral condition of adolescents in the digital age. The research employs a qualitative approach through a literature review using content analysis techniques on contemporary exegeses and literature related to digital culture. The results of the study confirm that Surah Al-Ahzab verse 21 not only positions the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as an ideal normative role model but also as a concrete example in upholding morality, propriety, and a sense of shame amidst modern life. The Prophet’s exemplary qualities reflected in his traits of truthfulness (shiddiq), trustworthiness (amanah), conveying the message (tabligh), and wisdom (fatonah) remain relevant as ethical guidelines for social media use. This study also indicates that the weakening of modesty and decorum among Muslim adolescents in the digital age reflects a lack of application of the moral values embodied by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Therefore, these values must be practically applied in daily behavior, particularly in social media use. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that the application of the Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) moral values plays a crucial role in shaping the character of Muslim adolescents to be civilized, wiser, and critical of digital culture.

Consumer Tax in Islam and According to Maqashid Syariah
A country is prohibited from collecting its citizens' assets without a legal basis. Taxes are one of the country's primary products and an essential part of financial policy. Scholars argue, based on ijtihad, that taxes (dharbah) are permissible and arise for reasons that are different from zakat, which is an obligation on the wealth of Muslims. The other side says that no (harmful) tax is permissible or impermissible according to Sharia. Many scholars argue that taxes are prohibited, while others argue that they are permissible. Therefore, we can view tax law, especially in Indonesia, as being based on the maqashid of Sharia. If analyzed from the perspective of two levels of maqashid of Sharia according to As-Syatibi: Al-Daruriyah & Al-Hajjiyyah. Therefore, it can be concluded that consumer tax law is permissible for the benefit and must be obeyed by those who are obliged to pay consumer taxes to avoid undesirable dharuroh.

Enhancing Fiqh Education through a Digitally Designed Linktree Portal: Focus on Acehnese Student Engagement
This study examines in depth the development and feasibility of a Linktree portal-based Fiqh learning media for students of Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) in Aceh, with a specific case study at MTsN 1 Langsa. The background of this research is rooted in significant pedagogical challenges in Fiqh learning, where conventional methods dominated by one-way lectures often fail to stimulate the motivation and engagement of students who are digital natives. This study uses a Research and Development (R&D) approach with a 4-D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). The main contribution of this research lies in the theoretical integration between the Technology Acceptance Model in Islamic Education (TAMISE) and Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) in designing micro-learning media. The validation results show that the developed Linktree portal has very high validity (Media Expert: 94%; Material Expert: 92%) and is categorized as very feasible. Field findings indicate that the microsite information architecture on Linktree effectively reduces extraneous cognitive load through segmentation principles, while rigorous content curation ensures compatibility with Islamic values, thereby increasing technology acceptance among madrasah teachers and students. This study offers a practical and scalable solution to address the digital divide in Islamic educational institutions by leveraging efficient and user-friendly aggregator technology.

The Concept of Education in Ibn Khaldun's Thought and Its Implications for Today's Islamic Education
Education plays a strategic role in shaping human beings and civilization. Ibn Khaldun, through his monumental work Al-Muqaddimah, offers an educational concept that is holistic, humanistic, and contextual. This article aims to examine Ibn Khaldun’s educational thought and analyze its implications for contemporary Islamic education. This study employs a qualitative approach using library research, involving the examination of primary and secondary sources relevant to Ibn Khaldun’s educational ideas. The findings indicate that, according to Ibn Khaldun, the purpose of education is not merely oriented toward the acquisition of knowledge, but also toward the formation of moral character, the development of intellectual potential, social preparedness, and the sustainability of civilization. Principles such as gradual learning, the rejection of violence in education, and the emphasis on dialogical relationships between teachers and learners constitute the core characteristics of his educational concept. The implications of Ibn Khaldun’s thought for contemporary Islamic education are reflected in the importance of developing learner-centered curricula, adopting humanistic pedagogical approaches, and strengthening the role of teachers as intellectual and moral guides. Therefore, Ibn Khaldun’s educational thought remains relevant as a conceptual foundation for the renewal and strengthening of Islamic education in the modern era.

Implementation of Qur’anic Learning through the Ilman wa Ruuhan Method at SMAIT Darul Ilmi Bandar Lampung
Qur’anic learning is a pedagogical process aimed at developing students’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes through activities of reading and memorizing the verses of the Qur’an in a tartil manner properly and accurately in accordance with the rules of tajwid. One approach used in this process is the Ilman wa Ruuhan Method, which integrates scientific (cognitive) and spiritual (affective) dimensions. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Ilman wa Ruuhan Method at SMAIT Darul Ilmi Bandar Lampung. The research adopts a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, while data analysis employed an interactive model consisting of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings indicate that Qur’anic learning through the Ilman wa Ruuhan Method is not only oriented toward improving students’ technical abilities in reading and memorizing the Qur’an, but also toward spiritual development that emphasizes the internalization of Qur’anic values in students’ daily lives. Therefore, this method is considered relevant for implementation in educational institutions because it integrates cognitive and affective aspects in a balanced manner. The findings contribute conceptually to the development of Qur’anic learning models oriented not only toward technical mastery but also toward the formation of students’ character and spirituality, and are expected to serve as a reference for similar institutions and further research.

KHI's Perspective on the Legality of Adoption by Single Parents
This study examines the legal status of single parents in adopting children within the framework of the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) in Indonesia. The research aims to analyze whether the adoption carried out by a single parent is legally permissible according to Islamic family law and how KHI accommodates such practices in the context of child protection. Using a normative juridical method through statutory, conceptual, and case approach, this study reviews Islamic legal principles on kafalah, lineage, guardianship, and the obligation to prioritize the best interests of the child. Data were obtained through literature review of Islamic jurisprudence, national regulations on child protection, and relevant decisions of the Religious Courts. The findings indicate that Islamic law does not prohibit single-parent adoption as long as the child’s lineage remains unchanged and the welfare of the child is ensured. KHI provides general guidelines on adoption but does noSt explicitly restrict adoption based on marital status, thereby allowing judges to use judicial reasoning grounded in maslahah to assess the eligibility of single parents. The study concludes that the absence of detailed technical rules in KHI contributes to variations in judicial interpretation, emphasizing the need for clearer legal guidelines to ensure consistency, legal certainty, and stronger child protection in adoption practices involving single parents.

Tradition-Based Islamic Renewal: An Analysis of Nahdlatul Ulama's Thought in the Context of Religious Moderation
This study was motivated by the need to strengthen religious moderation amid the challenges of globalization, intolerance, and radicalism that threaten national harmony. Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), as the largest Islamic organization in Indonesia, has a unique tradition and contributes to strengthening national values. The purpose of this study is to analyze how the three main traditions of NU, namely religious practices (tahlilan, maulid, istighotsah), Islamic boarding schools and Bahtsul Masail, as well as the discourse of Islam Nusantara, play a role in building Islamic moderation in Indonesia. The research method used is qualitative-descriptive with a literature study approach that examines scientific literature, including journal articles, books, and relevant official documents. The results of the study show that NU practices serve to maintain social harmony, Islamic boarding schools and Bahtsul Masail develop adaptive scientific traditions, and Islam Nusantara provides a contextual framework of thought. In conclusion, NU traditions are not only historical legacies, but also actual instruments in maintaining national unity and responding to contemporary religious issues.

The Relationship Between Islah Al-Afrad and Social Welfare: Concepts and Relevance in the Contemporary Era
This paper aims to examine the relationship between the concept of Islah al-Afrad (individual reform) and social welfare from an Islamic perspective, as well as to explore its relevance in the contemporary era. This study is motivated by various modern social problems that indicate that structural development alone has not been fully capable of realizing societal well-being without being accompanied by individual moral and spiritual transformation. Therefore, Islah al-Afrad is viewed as a crucial foundation for building a harmonious and just social order. This research employs a qualitative approach based on a literature review, utilizing descriptive-analytical analysis of normative Islamic sources, such as the Qur’an and hadith, as well as relevant contemporary literature. The findings indicate that Islah al-Afrad is closely linked to the creation of social welfare, as individuals of good character and integrity will contribute to the formation of a just, caring, and civilized society. This concept emphasizes that sustainable social change must begin with the internal transformation of the individual, which then impacts the improvement of broader social structures. In the contemporary context, Islah al-Afrad is relevant as an alternative approach to addressing various social challenges, such as moral crises, social inequality, and the disintegration of values. This study contributes to reinforcing the perspective that social welfare in Islam is not merely material in nature, but also encompasses spiritual and moral dimensions as an integral whole.

Reconstruction of Islamic Education Curriculum Based on Tawhid: Epistemological Analysis of Al-Ghazali's Thought
Contemporary Islamic education faces an epistemological crisis characterized by a dichotomy between religious and general knowledge, as well as the dominance of a secular paradigm that separates the values of monotheism from the learning process. This crisis is rooted in the weak philosophical foundation of the curriculum, which is no longer based on a holistic Islamic worldview. This study aims to analyze the epistemological concept of the monotheism-based Islamic education curriculum in the thoughts of Imam Al-Ghazali, examine the relationship between reason, revelation, and intuition (kashf) in curriculum reconstruction, and identify the contribution of Al-Ghazali's thought in building a holistic and integrative curriculum paradigm in the modern era. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a library research type. Data collection techniques are carried out through documentation of Al-Ghazali's primary works, especially Ihya' Ulumuddin, Mi'yar al-'Ilm, Tahafut al-Falasifah, and Al-Munqidz min al-Dhalal, as well as secondary data in the form of journal articles and relevant books. The data analysis technique uses content analysis with a critical discourse analysis model to uncover the epistemological structure of Al-Ghazali's thought. Based on the description above, this study produces four conclusions. First, the epistemological concept of the Islamic education curriculum based on tawhid in Al-Ghazali's thought is built on the foundation of tawhid as the highest integrating principle that unites all domains of knowledge. Al-Ghazali rejects the separation of religious knowledge and general knowledge, classifying knowledge into fardhu 'ain and fardhu kifayah as a functional differentiation, not a dichotomy. This tawhid epistemology requires the integration of transcendental, cognitive, and moral goals. Second, the triadic relationship between reason, revelation, and spiritual intuition (kashf) is the main pillar of curriculum reconstruction. The three are not hierarchical and mutually exclusive, but rather complement and validate each other, with intuition as the highest validation. Third, Al-Ghazali's criticism of the secular curriculum is highly relevant, especially his criticism of the extreme rationalism of philosophers who ignore revelation. Fourth, Al-Ghazali's contribution to developing a holistic and integrative curriculum paradigm is reflected in the integration of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. This study recommends reconstructing an Islamic education curriculum that is monotheistic, integrative, and oriented toward the formation of a perfect human being.

The Influence of Hypercontent-Based Joyful Learning Strategy on Student Learning Effectiveness in Islamic Religious Education Subjects
This study aims to examine the effect of the Hypercontent-based Joyful Learning strategy on students’ learning effectiveness in Islamic Religious Education (IRE) at SMA Negeri 1 Garut. This research employed a descriptive quantitative approach with simple linear regression analysis. The research population consisted of all eleventh-grade students totaling 350 students, with a sample of 75 students determined using the Slovin formula and stratified random sampling technique. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. Instrument validity was tested using Pearson Product Moment correlation, while reliability was tested using Cronbach’s Alpha with a value of 0.730, indicating that the instrument was reliable. Data processing and analysis were conducted using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The results showed that the Hypercontent-based Joyful Learning strategy had a significant effect on students’ learning effectiveness, with a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.535 indicates that the Hypercontent-based Joyful Learning strategy contributed 53.5% to students’ learning effectiveness, while the remaining 46.5% was influenced by other factors outside this study. The contribution of this study lies in presenting empirical evidence regarding the implementation of the Hypercontent-based Joyful Learning strategy in Islamic Religious Education at the secondary school level, which has been rarely examined in previous studies. Furthermore, this study provides empirical evidence on the integration of innovative digital technology–based learning strategies in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) to enhance students’ learning effectiveness at the secondary school level. The findings also strengthen the development of innovative learning strategies that integrate digital technology with the characteristics and objectives of Islamic Religious Education to improve students’ learning effectiveness.

Positive Law Islamic Criminal Law in the Implemantation of Execution of Confiscated Item from Corruption Criminal Acts
This study aims to analyze the concept of legal protection in the storage of confiscated goods or evidence based on Government Regulation Number 27 of 1981 and to examine its conformity with Islamic law as well as its implementation in practice. The research employs a qualitative field research method, in which data are collected directly from relevant institutions such as the police, prosecutor’s office, courts, and the State Confiscated Goods Storage House (Rupbasan). The results indicate a discrepancy between Article 44 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), which mandates that confiscated goods be stored in Rupbasan, and the actual practice where such items are often stored in other institutions. In addition, there is a difference in interpretation with Article 1 point 16 of KUHAP. From the perspective of Islamic law, confiscated goods can be analogized as collateral, while corruption is categorized as jarimah ta’zir, where the determination of punishment is left to the authority of ulil amri or judges. Therefore, harmonization between regulations, practical implementation, and Islamic legal values is necessary to ensure legal certainty and justice.

Maqashid Syari'ah in Sharia Economic Law: The Loss of Down Payment According to the Maqashid Syari'ah Review
This study discusses the Background of the Problem In fulfilling their needs, humans are governed by laws that have been determined by Allah SWT. Law in Islam is a rule relating to the relationship between individuals and other individuals, as well as individuals and their creator. Therefore, Allah SWT reminds us that in fulfilling their needs, humans do not harm each other, in this case exchanging needs between members of society is a fair way. The rules of Allah that are unified and codified in the fiqh of mu'amalah cover several aspects of economic activities, one of which is buying and selling (al-ba'i). Buying and selling or referred to as Bai' is the exchange of property for property on the basis of mutual consent, or transferring property with a justified exchange. According to Sulaiman al-Asyqar, buying and selling is the exchange of property for property, or benefits for benefits in the form of transferring ownership and ownership. The term down payment is also known as DP (Down of Payment), advance payment, or down payment. In Indonesia this is regulated in Article 1464 of the Civil Code. The payment of a down payment or down payment in a buying and selling transaction is known by fiqh scholars as ba'i 'urbun. Ba'i 'urbun is a down payment paid by the buyer which shows that he is serious about his order. If the buyer then agrees on the ordered goods, a sale and purchase transaction is formed and the down payment is part of the agreed price of the ordered goods (assets). If the buyer later refuses to purchase the order, then the down payment is forfeited and becomes the property of the seller.

This study used a qualitative method with a descriptive case study approach. Primary data were collected through observations and interviews with 20 informants consisting of 8 broiler chicken sellers, 10 consumers, and 2 government agency representatives, with data analysis conducted inductively. The results show that sales practices generally follow two patterns: supply from slaughterhouses considered trustworthy or independent slaughtering with efforts to follow Islamic slaughter procedures, basic hygiene aspects (cleanliness of equipment, covering meat with plastic, use of ice) are also considered. However, halal assurance in the field is still predominantly based on trust and visual verification by consumers, so that halal assurance cannot be fully assured without certification. The urgency of halal certification is highly assessed to strengthen regulatory certainty, consumer protection, and market confidence, but compliance is hampered by limited understanding of procedures and concerns about costs, so government assistance is a key need.

Inclusive Theology and Religious Pluralism: A Critical Analysis of Major Thinkers
Debates on the theology of religions, particularly between inclusive theology and religious pluralism, have become a significant issue in the context of Indonesia’s plural society. This article aims to critically analyze the concepts of inclusive theology and religious pluralism and examine their relevance for fostering interreligious relations in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative approach based on library research, this study explores the ideas of key figures such as Nurcholish Madjid and John Hick, as well as Indonesian Muslim responses to religious pluralism. The findings indicate that inclusive theology offers a middle ground that enables Muslims to maintain strong theological commitments while remaining open to dialogue and cooperation with followers of other religions. In contrast, religious pluralism understood in a theological sense namely, the notion that all religions are equally true and lead to the same salvation has been subject to serious methodological and theological criticism, as it is considered incompatible with the principle of tawhid in Islam. In the Indonesian context, this debate is further complicated by the Indonesian Council of Ulama’s (MUI) fatwa on religious pluralism and the emergence of religious moderation as a paradigm emphasizing the principle of wasathiyyah (the middle path). This article concludes that an Islamic wasathiyyah approach, which distinguishes between plurality as a sociological fact and pluralism as a theological ideology, provides the most contextual framework for managing religious diversity in a dialogical, just, and peaceful manner without undermining Islamic theological integrity.

Analysis of Thought and Nusantara Islamic Movement
This study aims to describe the analysis of the thought and movement of Islam Nusantara within the socio-cultural context of Indonesia. Islam Nusantara, as a distinctive pattern of Islamic expression that has developed through the process of acculturation between Islamic teachings and local traditions, offers a model of religious practice that is moderate, tolerant, and contextual. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method based on library research through the examination of books, journal articles, and relevant previous studies. The findings indicate that the intellectual foundation of Islam Nusantara is rooted in cultural approaches, the practice of madhhab, moderation (wasathiyah), tolerance, and contextualization of Islamic teachings. In terms of movement, Islam Nusantara is manifested through socio-cultural activities, educational transformation through the role of pesantren, and national political movements that position nationalism as an inseparable part of faith. Islam Nusantara faces challenges from the rise of transnational ideologies, radicalism, and polarization within Islamic discourse. This study provides theoretical and practical contributions to the strengthening of literature on moderate Islam and serves as a reference for developing peaceful and harmonious religious life in Indonesia.

Implementative Strategy for Developing Moral and Social Responsibility Awareness of Muslim Scientists from the Perspective of Philosophy of Science
Muslim scholars play a central role in the development of knowledge that is beneficial and aligned with Islamic ethics, which emphasize moral and social responsibility in every scientific endeavor. However, awareness of these responsibilities still requires reinforcement so that scientific activities are not merely oriented toward academic achievement but also generate tangible social benefits. This study aims to identify implementable strategies for fostering moral and social responsibility among Muslim scholars from the perspective of the philosophy of science. The research employs a literature-based qualitative approach using critical descriptive analysis of key concepts in Islamic philosophy of science, scholarly ethics, character education, Islamic utilitarianism (maslahah), empathy, and Islamic hermeneutics. The main contribution of this study lies in the formulation of an integrative conceptual framework that connects Islamic philosophy of science with practical strategies for cultivating ethically responsible and socially committed Muslim scholars. The findings indicate that the integration of Islamic values, the strengthening of character education, and the development of empathy play a significant role in shaping scholars’ moral awareness and social responsibility. The implications of this study provide a conceptual and practical reference for Islamic educational institutions and scientific communities in developing an Islamic scientific culture oriented toward knowledge as an act of worship and as a means to enhance social welfare.

Tracing the Dinamics of Trade balance in D-8: The Role of Exchange rate and FDI
This study aims to analyze the effect of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and exchange rates on the trade balance in the D-8 member countries (Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Turkey) during the period 2000 to 2023. The method used is panel data regression with the Fixed Effect Model (FEM), Random Effect Model (REM), and Common Effect Model (CEM) approaches. The selection of the best model is done through the Chow, Hausman, and Lagrange Multiplier (LM) tests. The results show that the exchange rate has a significant effect on the trade balance in all models, indicating that exchange rate fluctuations are an important factor in determining the external trade balance. In contrast, FDI does not show a significant effect, so it has not made a real contribution to improving the trade balance of D-8 countries. Based on the results of the model selection test, the Random Effect model is declared the most appropriate for use in this study. However, all models show positive autocorrelation problems in the residuals, indicating the need for further approaches such as robust estimation to improve the reliability of the results. For the long-term effect, only the Exchange Rate has a significant effect on the Trade Balance, while all variables have no short-term effect. These findings provide policy implications that exchange rate stability and FDI direction are key to strengthening the trade balance of D-8 countries amidst global economic dynamics.

The Influence of the STEM Approach on Elementary School Students' Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)
This study aims to examine and analyze the effectiveness of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) approach on improving students' Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in IPAS subjects. The method used was a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group design involving 32 fifth-grade students at MIS Kurnia Kota Jambi, who were divided into experimental and control groups. Data were collected through HOTS test instruments and analyzed using the Independent Sample T-Test. The results showed that there was a significant difference in students' higher-order thinking skills, with the experimental class obtaining a post-test average score of 73.31, which was much higher than the control class, which only achieved 50.44. In conclusion, the integration of systematic STEM steps (observation, new ideas, innovation, creation, and social values) effectively transformed students' cognition from a low level to a level of analysis, evaluation, and creation. This approach has been proven to be able to bridge the understanding of abstract scientific theory into concrete solutions, making it highly relevant for developing the adaptive competencies of elementary school students in the modern era.

Contextualization of Female Imam Hadith in Indonesia: An Analysis of Sanad and Matan
The hadith prohibiting female imams has always been a topic of discussion among Muslims in Indonesia, as this argument has always been used as an obstacle to empowerment. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze the prohibition of female imams from various perspectives and its contextualization for Muslims in Indonesia. The method used is descriptive qualitative, sourced from literature studies with a critical approach to the sanad and matan of the hadith. The results of this study conclude that from the perspective of sanad studies, the hadith regarding the prohibition of female imams is of weak quality and from the perspective of matan, it is also problematic because it contradicts the verses of the Qur'an. The practice of female imams in the contemporary era in Indonesia is permissible if there is a valid religious reason, such as the absence of competent men, or if it is based on a mutual agreement that results in the common good.

The Relevance of the Concept of Isti'anah from the Perspective of KH. Zaini Mun'im's Interpretation of Bil Imla' in Facing the Temptation of Materialism in the Modern Era
The growing materialism among today's youth often leads to a misunderstanding of success, which is measured only in material terms. This is a challenge in creating a balanced mindset between worldly and ukhrawi life. This study aims to analyze the relevance of the concept of isti'anah according to the interpretation of Bil Imla' by KH Zaini Mun'im in overcoming the temptation of materialism in adolescents. The approach used in this study is a literature review with interpretation analysis and a review of related literature. The results of the study show that the concept of isti'anah teaches Muslims, especially teenagers, to ask for help only from Allah SWT, which can be a solution to avoid the temptation of materialism. This concept also emphasizes the importance of a balance between temporal and spiritual pursuits, by always linking God's help through patience, prayer, and spiritual awareness. In conclusion, the interpretation of Bil Imla' can be an effective guideline to help adolescents form a more balanced mindset, avoid excessive materialism, and increase closeness to Allah in achieving true success.

Formulation of Qur’anic Islamic Parenting Values: Pesantren Education Strategies in the Society 5.0 Era (A Comparative Study of Al-Tabari and Al-Azhar Tafsir)
The rapid pace of social change and technological advancement in the Society 5.0 era requires educational institutions, including Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), to adapt by developing more human-centered and spiritually grounded learning systems. This study aims to formulate Islamic parenting values derived from the Qur’an through a thematic interpretation approach (tafsir maudhū’i), by examining Tafsir Al-Thabari and Tafsir Al-Azhar. Using a qualitative library research method combined with content analysis, this study explores key principles of Islamic parenting such as monotheism (tauhid), parental responsibility, empathy, gradual education, and the balance between rights and duties in child upbringing. The findings indicate that these values are deeply rooted in divine revelation, with Al-Thabari presenting a normative and textual interpretation, while Buya Hamka, through Tafsir Al-Azhar, offers a more reflective and contextual perspective relevant to contemporary life. These values are considered highly applicable to the pesantren education system, especially in responding to the challenges of digitalization and social transformation in the Society 5.0 era. By integrating these Islamic values into curricula and learning methods, pesantren can strengthen their role in nurturing a generation of students who are faithful, morally upright, and adaptive to modern developments. This research contributes to the development of an Islamic education model that remains contextually relevant while firmly rooted in Qur’anic teachings.

Ex Officio Rights of Judges in Divorce of Inter-Country Couples (Decision No. 725/Pdt.G/2025/PA.Btl)
This study aims to analyze the application of ex officio rights of judges in divorce cases between couples of different nationalities as reflected in Decision Number 725/Pdt.G/2025/PA.Btl. The focus of the study is directed at how judges use ex officio authority to protect the rights of wives and children, and uphold the principle of justice in the context of differences in nationality. The method used is normative legal research. The results of the study indicate that judges have ex officio authority to determine iddah maintenance, madhiyah maintenance, mut'ah, and hadhanah rights in accordance with the principles of propriety and legal protection. The application of this authority in Decision Number 725/Pdt.G/2025/PA.Btl is based on justice, appropriateness and propriety after the judge considers the capabilities of the counter-defendant and the basic needs in the area of ​​the counter-plaintiff. Therefore, it can be concluded that the application of ex officio rights accommodates the needs of vulnerable groups, especially women and children in divorce based on substantive justice. Decision Number 725/Pdt.G/2025/PA.Btl reflects that this right also applies in international civil law, so it needs to be encouraged with a concrete mechanism to be more effective.

Dynamics of Gono-Gini Property in Marriage: A Comparative Analysis of Indonesian Civil Law, Islamic Family Law, and Javanese Customary Law
The concept of harta gono-gini (joint marital property) constitutes a fundamental pillar of Indonesian family law, reflecting principles of economic justice and shared responsibility between spouses. This study aims to comparatively analyze the regulation and implementation of joint property within three major legal systems operating in Indonesia, namely Indonesian Civil Law, Islamic Family Law, and Javanese Customary Law. Using a normative legal research method supported by limited empirical data, this research examines statutory provisions, legal doctrines, court decisions, and living customary norms related to marital property. The findings reveal that all three legal systems substantively recognize joint property as assets acquired during marriage through the mutual contribution of husband and wife. However, significant differences emerge in their philosophical foundations and mechanisms of distribution. Indonesian Civil Law emphasizes formal legal certainty and tends to apply an equal division principle, while Islamic Family Law prioritizes proportional justice based on both economic and non-economic contributions. Meanwhile, Javanese Customary Law focuses on social harmony, moral values, and contextual fairness, often resolving disputes through family deliberation rather than formal litigation. The coexistence of these legal systems illustrates Indonesia’s legal pluralism, which creates both opportunities for contextual justice and challenges in the form of legal disharmony and jurisdictional overlap. This study concludes that legal pluralism in joint property regulation should be viewed as a legal asset rather than an obstacle. Therefore, an integrative approach to harmonizing national family law is necessary to ensure legal certainty while accommodating substantive justice aligned with Indonesia’s socio-cultural diversity.

Implementation of the Playing, Telling Stories, and Singing Method in Increasing Student Learning Motivation in the SKI Subject
Education plays a crucial role in shaping the character, knowledge, and civilization of the nation, including the teaching of Islamic Cultural History (SKI), which serves to instill Islamic values and character in students. However, in practice, SKI learning is often considered uninteresting, resulting in low student motivation. This study aims to determine the effect of implementing the BCM (Playing, Telling, and Singing) method on improving student motivation in SKI in sixth-grade students at MI Attamimi. This study used a quantitative approach with an experimental design using a One Group Pretest–Posttest. Forty students participated in the study. Data collection techniques included observation and documentation, while data analysis included validity, reliability, normality, homogeneity, independent t-tests, and the N-Gain test using SPSS version 27. The results showed that the research instrument had very high reliability, with a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.922. The data were normally distributed and homogeneous. The N-Gain test showed an average value of 81.79, which is in the high category. These findings indicate that the implementation of the BCM method significantly increases students' learning motivation. Therefore, the BCM method is effective as an alternative to Islamic Studies (IS) learning that is more active, enjoyable, and meaningful. This research contributes to providing an alternative innovative learning method through the application of the BCM method (Playing, Telling, and Singing) to increase students' learning motivation in the subject of Islamic Cultural History.

The Concept of Tazkiyah Al-Nafs in the Qur'an and its Implications for Human Moral-Spiritual Growth (Hermenutical Study by Fazlur Rahman)
This study examines the concept of tazkiyah al-nafs in the Qur’an and its implications for human moral and spiritual development. In response to contemporary moral and spiritual crises, this research aims to provide a contextual understanding of soul purification as a foundation for ethical character building. This study employs a qualitative approach through library research, analyzing Qur’anic verses using Fazlur Rahman’s hermeneutical framework, particularly the double movement method, which involves examining the historical context of revelation and deriving universal moral principles applicable to modern life. The findings reveal that tazkiyah al-nafs is not merely a process of spiritual purification but also a transformative framework that shapes self-control, ethical awareness, and moral responsibility in both individual and social contexts. Furthermore, the study highlights that the values embedded in tazkiyah al-nafs such as honesty, self-discipline, and social responsibility remain highly relevant in addressing contemporary ethical challenges. Therefore, this concept serves as a significant ethical and spiritual foundation for fostering a morally conscious and spiritually aware society.

Stylistics and Reflections on Character Education in Abu Nawas's Poem: Humility and Hope for Divine Forgiveness
Abu Nawas, a prominent poet from the Abbasid Dynasty, was renowned for his poems that reflected various themes of life, ranging from praises to rulers to ascetic and religious poetry later in his life. This study aims to analyze stylistics in Arabic literature, particularly the poem Humility and Hope for Divine Forgiveness by Abu Nawas. Stylistics, known in Arabic as ‘ilm al-uslub, is a linguistic and literary study that focuses on the style of language in literary works. This research adopts a qualitative method with a library research approach. Data were collected from various sources, including books, articles, and journals. The findings reveal that the verses in the poem Humility and Hope for Divine Forgiveness by Abu Nawas fall under the category of Uslub Adabi (literary style) since uslub refers to expressions that use language as their medium. This can be observed in the poem's exaggerated praise of Caliph Harun al-Rashid. However, with his humility, Abu Nawas composed poems aimed at criticizing contemporary poets who often imitated ancient poets by subtly introducing themes of ruin. When he recited the poem The Caravan of the Bani Mudhar, considered offensive to the Caliph, Harun al-Rashid became angry and imprisoned him. After his imprisonment, Abu Nawas's poetic themes transformed into more religious ones. This transformation can be seen in his psalms of hope for divine forgiveness, reflecting his spiritual journey toward God. He began contemplating resurrection and life after death, which led him to alter the tone of his prayers and supplications to Allah. Additionally, three character education values are embedded in the poem: humility, honesty, and religiosity.

Interpretation of the Prohibition on Non-Muslim Leaders in the Qur’an (Fazlurrahman's Hermeneutical Perspective)
The problem of non-Muslim leaders reaps many differences of opinion between figures and each other, they have strong arguments with each other to justify their arguments. One of those who contributed to this conversation was Prof. H. Nadirsyah Hosen, Ph.D or often called gus Nadir. He created a book with the title "Tafsir Al-Qur'an di Medsos" as a response to the problem of actual interpretation today which is only textual. Researchers correlate gus Nadir's interpretation using Fazlurrahman's hermeneutic perspective. This research is library research with a qualitative approach, primary data sources are focused on the book Tafsir Al-Quran in Medsos. The author uses data collection techniques through documentation techniques such as searching, browsing, downloading and screenshots. The question in this study is what is the meaning of the verse prohibiting the choice of non-muslim leaders in his book Gus Nadir when viewed based on Fazlurrahman's hermeneutic glasses? The results of this study found that Gus Nadir allowed the appointment of non-Muslim leaders and the interpretation carried out by him in accordance with the steps of the hermeneutic interpretation of the double movement by Fazlurrahman.

Analysis of the Sale and Purchase of Goods from the Seller from the Perspective of Sharia Economic Law (Study at the Cahaya Baru Bangun Rejo Shop, Central Lampung)
The unstable price fluctuations of basic necessities indicate the potential for market distortion, one of which is the practice of hoarding (ihtikar), which can be detrimental to society. This condition raises questions regarding the compliance of this practice with the principles of Islamic economic law. This study formulates the problem of how the practice of buying and selling hoarded goods is carried out by sellers and how to analyze it from the perspective of Islamic economic law. This study aims to analyze this practice and assess its compliance with the principles of justice, transparency, and welfare. The method used is field research with a qualitative descriptive approach, through observation, interviews, and documentation techniques at the Cahaya Baru Bangun Rejo Store, Central Lampung. The results show that sellers purchase goods in large quantities when prices are low, then store them for resale when prices increase, which results in price increases and consumer burdens. This practice is also accompanied by a lack of price transparency. Based on the analysis, this practice points to indications of ihtikar, which is inconsistent with the principles of Islamic economic law because it contains elements of injustice and is detrimental to society.

Taharah in the Qur'an: A Study of Maudhu'i Interpretation on the Foundations of Physical and Spiritual Cleanliness
The Qur'an is a guideline for rules that regulate everything in human life, especially a Muslim, because there is a lot of knowledge and laws in everyday life that are very important to learn, one example is taharah which is a rule in daily activities that must be carried out by a Muslim, especially in worship. This study uses a type of qualitative research, collecting data that is not in the form of numbers, where with this qualitative research the data that the author obtains from the results of analysis through the Library Research method in the form of books, journal articles, scriptures and other scientific works. In this study, the existence of taharah verses in the Koran is discussed, analysis of verses related to taharah, and interpretation of verses. The results of the study show that the types of Taharah in the Koran are classified into two. First, taharah on the physical and physical, such as taharah from uncleanness and hadas or material such as Ma'an t}ahura or holy water. Second, what is meant by pure is not pure as discussed in terms of fiqh or it can also be said to be pure from something physical or material, such as pure from hadas and impurities. However, what is meant is purity of soul and spiritual or non-material. The law of Taharah as interpreted by Ibn Kathir and Wahbah al-Zuhayli states that purification is obligatory for anyone who wants to perform prayers (who has not been purified) and it is sunnah for those who have purified themselves.

The research subjects include the school principal and teachers, with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis uses the Miles and Huberman interactive model which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that school principal leadership management at SMK Assa’adah Bungah Gresik is implemented through four management functions, namely planning that integrates vocational goals and Islamic values, organizing through clear division of tasks, actuating with democratic and exemplary leadership styles, and controlling in the form of coaching. Teacher motivation is driven by intrinsic factors in the form of spiritual awareness of teaching as worship, and extrinsic factors in the form of responsive leadership support. The integration of these managerial functions has proven effective in creating a conducive work climate and increasing teacher work motivation holistically in a pesantren-based vocational school environment. This research provides a theoretical contribution by strengthening the concept of principal leadership management based on the integration of Islamic values and the managerial function of POAC in improving teacher motivation. Practically, this research provides an implementation model for principals, particularly in Islamic boarding school-based vocational schools (SMK), in creating a conducive work climate and increasing teacher motivation in a sustainable manner.

The Complexity of Relationships between Individuals, Society, and Power in the Literary Works of Al-Mutanabbi
Al-Mutanabbi ranks as one of the most renowned poets in the history of Arabic literature, with his poems reflecting his complex personality and ambitions. This research aims to explore the main themes in Al-Mutanabbi's works, such as identity, self-pride, praise, social critique, and commentary on societal dynamics. By employing textual analysis and historical study methods, this research examines how Al-Mutanabbi used poetry to express his thoughts, construct his self-image, and deliver critiques of social conditions and patronage relationships during his time. The findings reveal that Al-Mutanabbi consistently projected a strong sense of confidence and pride in his works, portraying himself as a great poet. He built relationships with rulers through laudatory poems but also expressed bold criticism of opponents and the societal conditions of his era. His immense ambition is evident in his works, which often highlight the conflict between personal aspirations and the socio-political challenges of the Abbasid era. This study provides new insights into the relationship between a poet's life and the literary works he produces. It also emphasizes how poetry serves as a tool for constructing self-identity and responding to the dynamics of power in the classical era.

The Philosophical Foundations of Islamic Educational Management: An Epistemological Analysis of Modern Management Theory
This study examines the philosophical foundations of Islamic Educational Management (IEM) through an epistemological analysis of modern management theory. The rapid adoption of modern management models in educational institutions has raised critical questions regarding their philosophical compatibility with Islamic values and educational objectives. Using a qualitative, library-based research design and philosophical analysis, this study explores the sources, validity, and assumptions of knowledge underlying both Islamic educational management and modern management theory. The findings reveal that IEM is grounded in a theocentric epistemology that integrates revelation, reason, empirical experience, and ethical consciousness, positioning management as a moral and spiritual responsibility rather than a value-neutral technical process. In contrast, modern management theory is largely rooted in positivist and empiricist epistemologies that emphasize efficiency, productivity, and instrumental rationality. Despite these differences, the study identifies significant points of convergence, particularly in the use of rational planning, organizational systems, and empirical tools. The study argues that modern management knowledge can be selectively integrated into Islamic educational contexts through an epistemological synthesis that aligns efficiency with ethical and spiritual accountability. This research contributes to the theoretical development of Islamic educational management by offering a conceptual framework that bridges modern management theory and Islamic epistemology, and provides philosophical guidance for educational leaders seeking value-based and contextually relevant management practices.

Evaluation of Education from the Perspective of the Hadiths of Al-Kutub As-Sittah
Hadith is the second source of knowledge for Muslims after the Koran, the proof of a hadith needs to be explored so that it gives strength to the development of science because it really comes from the words, actions and taqrir of the Prophet Muhammad Saw.. In the context of education, especially evaluation, many hadiths are used as a basic source for developing evaluation. In the educational process, the way to find out how successful the learning objectives or participant competencies are is through evaluation. This research uses a literature review with a content analysis approach. Based on the findings of this research, several hadith histories were found which explain that the Prophet evaluated his friends in understanding religious teachings or in carrying out their duties, even the Prophet was also evaluated by Allah through the Angel Gabriel. The measurement system (measurement) used by the Prophet himself did not use a laboratory system, however the principles show that the measurement system is also found in the Hadith of the Prophet. Evaluation of education in Hadith pays attention to the quality of exams according to the religious level or level/class level. The domains of evaluation mentioned in the Hadith as the domains found in educational science today include: evaluation of the cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains.

Universal Social Values in the Perspective of Sayyid Husain Fadhlullah's Thematic Tafsir
Increasing global social tensions, identity conflicts, and humanitarian crises highlight the urgency of reconstructing universal ethical values grounded in the Qur’an. However, existing studies tend to be normative and lack contextual integration with contemporary social realities. This study aims to analyze the construction of universal social values in the thematic interpretation of Sayyid Muhammad Husain Fadlullah and examine its relevance to modern social challenges. This research employs a qualitative library approach using thematic (maudhu‘i) interpretation and qualitative content analysis, supported by a hermeneutic framework. The primary source is Tafsir Min Wahy al-Qur’an, complemented by relevant academic literature. The findings reveal that Fadlullah constructs an integrated system of social ethics consisting of justice (al-‘adl), human dignity (karamat al-insan), social solidarity (al-takaful al-ijtima‘i), and diversity (al-ta‘addudiyyah). These values are interrelated and function as a dynamic, contextual, and transformative ethical framework. The study concludes that Fadlullah’s interpretation contributes significantly to developing a universal, inclusive, and applicable social ethics framework for plural and modern societies.

Moral Education from the Perspective of Hadith in Shaping a Pious Generation
This study aims to examine and analyze moral education from the perspective of hadith as a foundation for shaping a pious generation. Using a qualitative approach and the Maudu'i method, the research investigates hadiths related to moral education and their relevance in the context of modern education. The findings reveal two primary hadiths analyzed in depth concerning moral education: first, the hadith about proximity to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) on the Day of Judgment for those with noble character (narrated by At-Tirmidhi); and second, the hadith stating that the most perfect believer is the one with the best character (narrated by Abu Dawud). The analysis of the isnad (chain of transmission) and matn (content) of these two hadiths indicates a hasan-sahih quality, reinforcing their validity as a basis for moral education. This research also highlights that hadith-based moral education has strong relevance in shaping a pious generation in the modern era, particularly in addressing the challenges of moral degradation and the negative impacts of globalization. The implementation of moral values taught in these hadiths can serve as an effective solution for cultivating a young generation that is not only intellectually capable but also possesses high moral integrity and piety.

Discipline in Islamic Religious Education: Maintaining Truth Values in the Modern Era
In this rapidly evolving modern era, the primary challenge in Islamic religious education is how to maintain the true values taught in Islam, especially among the younger generation exposed to the influence of globalization, social media, and secular lifestyles. This study aims to analyze the role of discipline in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at MTs NU Kraksaan in maintaining Islamic values amidst modern progress. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, collecting data through in-depth interviews with five Islamic education teachers and direct classroom observations. The results show that discipline in Islamic education not only includes adherence to formal classroom rules but also plays an important role in internalizing religious values in students' daily lives. Discipline is applied through reinforcing classroom rules and instilling religious values in students' routines. Despite challenges such as the influence of social media and limited facilities, consistent discipline implementation positively impacts the strengthening of students' character and morals. The conclusion of this study is that discipline in Islamic education at MTs NU Kraksaan functions as an effective tool to maintain and strengthen the values of Islamic truth among students. This research contributes to the theory of Islamic education by emphasizing the importance of discipline in shaping students' character. The implications of this study highlight the importance of enhancing the role of parents and supporting facilities in the implementation of discipline. Recommendations for future research include exploring the impact of technology on discipline in Islamic education and its application in various madrasahs.

Reconstructing the Meaning of Justice in the Qur'an: Integrating Izutsu’s Semantics and Arkoun’s Semiotics through a Spiral-Triadic Approach
Justice (al-‘adl) constitutes the moral core of the Qur’an; however, its interpretation within contemporary Islamic legal discourse has often stagnated due to the dichotomy between rigid textualism and unrestrained contextualism. This study aims to reconstruct the concept of justice through the framework of Noetic Legal Methodology, specifically the Spiral-Triadic Model. Employing a trans-epistemological library-based approach, the study integrates Toshihiko Izutsu’s semantic analysis and Mohammed Arkoun’s semiotic critique within a circular analytical movement (the Demystificatory Circular Process). The findings reveal three fundamental insights. First, at the bayani (textual) level, Izutsu’s semantics uncovers that ‘adl is not merely a legal concept but an ontological principle of balance (mizan) that underpins the Qur’anic Weltanschauung. Second, at the burhani (contextual) level, Arkoun’s critique of reason demystifies historical distortions, demonstrating how the meaning of justice has frequently been appropriated by power structures to sustain the status quo. Third, at the ‘irfani (synthetic) level, the integration of these approaches produces the notion of “liberative justice,” understood as a dynamic movement aimed at restoring social equilibrium guided by transcendental values. This study concludes that the proposed noetic synthesis offers a viable resolution to the methodological impasse in Qur’anic interpretation, repositioning justice as an emancipatory instrument relevant to contemporary humanity.

Conceptualization of Limit Theory as an Epistemological Instrument for Renewal of Interpretation in the Thoughts of Fazlur Rahman and Abdul Aziz
This study aims to construct and analyze the theory of limits as an epistemological instrument for interpretive renewal in the thought of Fazlur Rahman and Abdul Aziz. The primary focus of this study is to understand how these two figures place the limits of rationality and the authority of revelation in the process of interpreting the Qur'an. This study uses a qualitative approach with library research and applies a philosophical-hermeneutic approach. Data were obtained from the main works of Fazlur Rahman (Islam and Modernity, Major Themes of the Qur'an) and Abdul Aziz (Limit Theory in Islamic Epistemology, Contemporary Islamic Epistemological Reform), then analyzed using content analysis with a comparative-critical approach. The results show that Fazlur Rahman emphasizes limits as the moral boundaries of the Qur'an that keep interpretation rooted in the values of revelation, while Abdul Aziz formulates limits as an epistemic framework that regulates the extent to which rationality can play a role in interpreting divine texts. The two combine to form a conceptual synthesis that suggests that limit theory serves as an epistemological balancing mechanism between freedom of thought and adherence to revelation. This research contributes to strengthening the epistemological aspect of exegetical methodology and offers a sustainable paradigm of exegesis (afsir) that is rational, contextual, and maintains divine value.

Feminist Paradigm in Qur’anic Exegesis: Integrating Tawhidic Hermeneutics and Qira’ah Mubadalah
This article formulates an integrative model for interpreting Qur’anic verses on gender relations through Amina Wadud’s tawhidic hermeneutics and Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir’s qira’ah mubadalah. The central question is how tawhid, justice, and reciprocity may become an exegetical procedure that preserves textual authority while preventing patriarchal bias in meaning production. This study employs qualitative library research using descriptive-analytical and thematic-critical analysis of Wadud’s and Kodir’s primary works, selected Qur’anic verses, and contemporary scholarship on gender-sensitive exegesis. The analytical procedure consists of linguistic analysis, socio-historical contextualization, intra-textual coherence, formulation of universal principles, mubadalah-based reciprocity, and maqasid/harm analysis. The application to Q. 9:71, Q. 33:35, and Q. 4:34 demonstrates that the tawhidic–mubadalah integration expands the moral subject of the verses, interprets qiwamah as functional and conditional responsibility, understands nusyuz as a two-way relational problem, and affirms non-violent conflict resolution within family ethics.

Thematic Unity Theory in the Qur'an: Comparative Analysis between Tafsir Al-Farahi and Tafsir Sa'id Hawwa
This study analyzes the concept of thematic unity (al-wahdah al-mawdhu‘iyyah or nazm) in Qur’anic exegesis as developed by two important figures in modern exegesis, Hamiduddin Al-Farahi (1863–1930) and Sa‘id Hawwa (1935–1989) (Khanan et al., 2025). Both represent two distinct but complementary methodological styles: Al-Farahi with a structural-linguistic approach that emphasizes the internal coherence of the text through the concepts of ‘umud (the central theme of the surah) and nazm (verse coherence), while Sa‘id Hawwa developed a thematic-conceptual exegesis (tafsir mawdhu‘i) that highlights the inter-verse relationships (munasabah) and the moral and social relevance of revelation. Using qualitative-comparative methods and a hermeneutical approach to interpretation, this study explores the epistemological similarities and methodological differences between the two, and assesses their implications for modern exegesis studies. The results demonstrate that the thematic unity theory offers a new paradigm for understanding the Quran integratively rejecting atomistic readings and emphasizing that each chapter possesses an interconnected architecture of meaning. The synergy between the nazm (Farahi) and the thematic-applicative (Hawwa) approaches enriches exegesis studies with a balance between scientific rigor and contextual relevance (Basir et al., 2022). These findings are expected to contribute to the development of a modern exegesis methodology that is not only academic and linguistic, but also reflective of the social realities of contemporary Muslims.

The Ecotheology of the Qur'an in Surah Ar-Rahman: The Balance of Nature as a Manifestation of Divine Grace
This research aims to examine ecotheological values in QS. Ar-Rahman verses 1–12 and their relevance in building human ecological awareness. The global environmental crisis indicates that ecological damage is caused not only by technical factors, but also by human spiritual crises that weakens the harmonious relationship between man, God, and nature. This study employs a thematic interpretation approach with a descriptive qualitative method based on library research. The primary data source is QS. Ar-Rahman verses 1–12 analyzed through Tafsir Al-Misbah, Tafsir Fi Zhilalil Qur'an, and Tafsir Al-Azhar. The results reveal six main ecotheological values, namely divine mercy as the foundational principle, along with human stewardship, cosmic submission, balance (mizan), justice (al-qisth) and gratitude as derivative principles. These values constitute the concept of Qur'anic ecotheology, which emphasizes that nature is a manifestation of divine mercy that must be preserved by humans as vicegerents. This study concludes that integrating divine mercy and ecological awareness contributes to the formation of sustainable environmental ethics, indicating that addressing environmental crisis requires not only scientific approaches but also the internalization of Qur'anic values.

Game-Based Learning for Arabic Vocabulary Development: The Implementation of “Mughamarah fil ‘Arabiyyah” in a Junior High School
Vocabulary mastery plays a fundamental role in Arabic language learning, particularly at the secondary school level where students begin to develop more complex language skills. However, vocabulary instruction in many schools remains dominated by teacher-centered and memorization-based approaches, which often result in low student engagement and limited retention. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Mughamarah fil ‘Arabiyyah, a non-digital game-based learning medium, in improving students’ Arabic vocabulary mastery. The study employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. The participants consisted of 12 eighth-grade students at SMP Bina Dakwah, Bogor, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through a 20-item Arabic vocabulary test administered before and after the implementation of the game-based learning intervention. Descriptive statistics and a paired sample t-test were used to analyze the data. The results revealed a significant improvement in students’ vocabulary mastery, with the mean score increasing from 68.18 in the pretest to 90.67 in the posttest. These findings indicate that Mughamarah fil ‘Arabiyyah is an effective instructional medium for enhancing Arabic vocabulary learning, particularly in educational contexts with limited technological resources. This study contributes to Arabic language pedagogy by providing empirical evidence on the effectiveness of non-digital game-based learning media and offers practical insights for teachers seeking engaging vocabulary instruction strategies in resource-limited classrooms.

Fiscal Regulations for Handling Inflation according to Taqiyyuddin An-Nabhani
Inflation is a significant economic challenge in many countries, including Indonesia. In 2023, inflation in Indonesia reached 5.5%, far exceeding the target of 3±1%. Conventional economic systems often face difficulties in managing inflation, while Islamic economics offers alternative solutions. This study uses a literature study approach by analyzing the works of Taqiyuddin An-Nabhani, specifically in An Nizham Al Iqtishadi fi Al Islam and Al-Amwal fi Dawlat al-Khilafah. Data were collected from books, journals, and related literature discussing An-Nabhani's Islamic economic thought. The results show that An-Nabhani's proposed fiscal approach emphasizes the equitable distribution of wealth through instruments such as zakat and price regulation. This system can help reduce inflation by ensuring that wealth does not circulate in the hands of only a few people, while also protecting people's purchasing power. An-Nabhani emphasized the importance of the state's role in managing inflation through fiscal policies that focus on economic balance and wealth distribution. This fiscal policy must be combined with monetary policies that maintain the money supply, so that economic stability can be achieved. The main challenge is ensuring the effective implementation of wealth distribution policies in a modern economic context. Implementing An-Nabhani's theory requires structural reforms in the fiscal system, such as zakat management and tax reform. Furthermore, changes in economic behavior and global market dynamics pose challenges to the application of this theory. However, this approach offers the potential to reduce economic instability and create inclusive growth.

Review of Political Ethics and Sadd adz-Dzari'ah on the Phenomenon of Political Dynasties in Indonesia
This study examines the issue of political dynasties in Indonesia. The background to this issue is concern over the significant rise in political dynasty practices, as evidenced by the increase in the number of regional election candidates from political elite families. Specifically, this study discusses: 1) How regulations in Indonesia govern the issue of political dynasties, 2) How political ethics assess the phenomenon of political dynasties, and 3) How sadd adz-dzari'ah assesses the phenomenon of political dynasties. This study uses qualitative methods with data collection techniques from books, journals, and previous studies. The main results show that political dynasties arise due to imperfect regulations and their implementation. From the perspective of Kantian political ethics, this practice is morally unjustifiable because it violates the three main principles of Kantian political ethics. Meanwhile, from the perspective of sadd adz-dzari'ah, appropriate efforts are needed from the government, because political dynasties can threaten the principles of democracy in Indonesia.

Thematic Tafsir Approach to the Six Principles of Qaulan in Addressing Digital Hate Speech
The phenomenon of the proliferation of hate speech on social media constitutes an important background for this study. The low level of digital communication ethics, accompanied by the high intensity of hate speech in cyberspace, has encouraged the author to examine this phenomenon through a Qur’anic perspective. Ideally, communication between individuals and groups should reflect the values of respect, gentleness, and truth as taught in the Qur’an through the concepts of qaulan kariman, qaulan layyinan, qaulan ma‘rufan, and others. This article employs a conceptual thematic exegesis approach to analyse verses that prohibit hate speech and a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) by examining literature from 2015–2024 within the framework of thematic-conceptual interpretation. The main findings indicate that the Qur’an not only condemns hate speech, but also offers practical guidance on ethical communication in society, including in the digital era. Therefore, the implementation of Qur’anic values serves as a moral and social solution in fostering a healthy, peaceful, and civilised space of interaction amidst the advancement of information technology.

Re-reading of the Concept of Naskh and Mansukh According to Nasr Hamid Abu Zaid and Its Implications for the Interpretation of the Qur’an
This article discusses the reconstruction of one of the fundamental concepts in ‘ulumul Qur’an, namely the theory of nasikh-mansukh, which has long been regarded by some classical scholars as definitive and unchanging. One of the figures undertaking this reconstruction is Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd. Nasr Hamid’s reconstruction of the concept of nasikh-mansukh is a response to the ongoing debate between groups that accept and those that reject the existence of nasikh-mansukh in the Qur’an. According to Nasr Hamid, one of the factors causing this debate is the interpretation of naskh as the abrogation or cancellation of a verse. For Nasr Hamid, such a meaning fails to reflect the universal nature of the Qur’an. The primary focus of the concept of naskh-mansukh, which also serves as a determining variable, as proposed by Nasr Hamid, lies in the aspect of context (siyaq). He argues that in determining which verses are naskh and which are mansukh, one should not rely on the chronological order of the verses’ revelation, but must instead consider the contextual analysis of the situation in which the verse was revealed. This is based on the assumption that every verse of the Qur’an was revealed within a socio-cultural context relevant to the needs of society at that time. Therefore, he interprets naskh not as abrogation or revocation, but rather as the replacement (ibdal) of one verse with another, which occurs due to changes in circumstances and conditions that cause the application of that verse to be temporarily suspended until it is reintroduced in accordance with the prevailing conditions.

Reconstructing the Meaning of Fiqh Learning through Accelerated and Quantum Learning in the Digital Generation
This study addresses a critical gap in Islamic education by rethinking fiqh learning beyond its traditional normative-transmissive orientation toward a more meaningful and contextually grounded process. Employing a qualitative case study design, the research was conducted in a Grade 11 classroom at MA Raudlotut Tholibin Banjarnegara between January and February 2026. Data were generated through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis, and analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. The findings demonstrate a fundamental shift in fiqh learning from knowledge transmission to a process of experiential and socially mediated meaning construction. This transformation unfolds through a dynamic interplay of student engagement, pedagogical adaptation, and experiential learning practices, in which students actively negotiate meaning through interaction, reflection, and lived experience. Engagement extends beyond observable participation to include cognitive and reflective involvement, while adaptation emerges as an inherent dimension of the learning process rather than a transitional stage. Consequently, fiqh is no longer understood as a fixed body of normative knowledge but as a contextual and lived practice shaped by students’ everyday realities. The study offers a theoretical contribution by reconceptualizing fiqh learning as a process of socially mediated experiential meaning-making, thereby challenging dominant transmissive paradigms in Islamic education. Practically, it underscores the need for designing interactive and context-sensitive learning environments aligned with the characteristics of digital generation learners. Ultimately, this study positions fiqh learning as a transformative pedagogical space where knowledge is continuously constructed, negotiated, and lived.

Comparative Study of the Concept of Human Creation in Qs. Al-Mu’minun Verses 12–14 Perspective of Hamka and Wahbah Zuhaili
This study aims to analyze the interpretation of Quranic embryology in Surah Al-Mu'minun, verses 12–14, according to Hamka in Tafsir al-Azhar and Wahbah Zuhaili in Tafsir al-Munir, and to identify similarities and differences in their interpretive methodologies. This study uses a qualitative approach with library research and a comparative interpretation method (tafsir muqaran). Primary data were obtained from the interpretation of Surah Al-Mu'minun, verses 12–14 in both tafsir books, while secondary data came from literature related to scientific interpretation, Quranic embryology, and contemporary interpretation methodology. Data collection was conducted through documentation and analyzed using content analysis. The results of this study indicate that Hamka and Wahbah Zuhaili both interpret the stages of human creation, from conception to conception, nufah, 'alaqah, mudghah, bone formation, wrapping with flesh, and the breathing of the soul, as evidence of God's power. However, Hamka emphasizes a narrative, reflective, and social approach by linking the verses to the development of science and human values. In contrast, Wahbah Zuhaili uses a systematic, linguistic, and theological approach with an emphasis on the aspects of monotheism and human resurrection. This study concludes that the differences in interpretation are influenced by the intellectual background and methodology of each exegete. This research contributes to the development of scientific and comparative interpretations in contemporary Qur'anic studies.

Naqd Al-Nassh Lil Qur'an: Study of Reason Criticism of the Qur'an According to Ali Harb
This article aims to explore Ali Harb's thoughts on the concept of Naqd al-Nassh (Textual Criticism) in Qur'anic studies. As a contemporary Lebanese intellectual deeply influenced by the post-structuralist tradition, Ali Harb offers a new perspective that goes beyond classical methods of exegesis. Through a library study of relevant journals, this research outlines how Ali Harb deconstructs text authority and religious reason considered to be frozen. The research results show that Ali Harb's version of the critique of Qur'anic reason does not aim to undermine the sanctity of the text, but rather to dismantle the thought mechanisms (epistemology) of Muslims in understanding the text so that it remains productive and relevant to contemporary reality. Ali Harb encourages a shift from "dead" reading (qira'ah mayyitah) to "productive-critical" reading (qira'ah muntijah-naqdiyah). This article also reviews the strengths and weaknesses of Harb's thought and its relevance in the context of Islamic studies in Indonesia today.

Islamic Education for Women in the Majelis Taklim
Majelis taklim (Islamic study groups) are informal Islamic study forums in Indonesia that play a crucial role in the religious education of the community, particularly women. Islamic education for women in majelis taklim focuses on learning and deepening religious knowledge through the study of the Quran, Hadith, fiqh, and morals. This aims to strengthen women's roles in Islam: as wives, mothers of their children, and members of society. The learning format includes lectures, discussions, and practical activities, organized regularly and scheduled by female religious teachers (ustadzah) to ensure the smooth running of majelis taklim activities. The benefits of majelis taklim activities for women include increasing religious literacy and social empowerment, with programs such as Islamic parenting courses being offered. This is the importance of Islamic education for women. However, challenges such as limited access and gender stereotypes persist. Modern developments involve online platforms and the integration of contemporary issues, such as gender equality in Islam, to expand women's participation.

The Influence of Perception of Tastura Cultural Value Integration and Compliance with Sharia Principles in the Profit Sharing System on the Decision to Become a Member of the Merah Putih Cooperative in Central Lombok
Cooperatives play an important role as economic institutions in improving community welfare through principles of mutual cooperation and member empowerment. In societies with strong local cultural values and a predominantly Muslim population, the integration of local cultural values and compliance with sharia principles in cooperative management can influence people’s decisions to become members. This study aims to analyze the effect of perceptions of the integration of Tastura cultural values and compliance with sharia principles in the profit-sharing system on the decision to become members of the Koperasi Merah Putih in Central Lombok. This research uses a quantitative approach with a total sampling technique involving 72 respondents who are cooperative members. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression after passing validity, reliability, and normality tests. The results show that perceptions of the integration of Tastura cultural values and compliance with sharia principles have a significant effect both partially and simultaneously on the decision to become cooperative members. These findings indicate that the integration of local cultural values and the consistent implementation of sharia principles can increase public trust in cooperatives and encourage membership participation. Therefore, strengthening local cultural values and maintaining consistency in implementing sharia principles in cooperative management are important strategies to enhance community participation in cooperatives.

Religious Moderation in Indonesia's Multicultural Society: A Conceptual and Social Analysis
Indonesia is a country characterized by a high level of religious, ethnic, and cultural diversity, which necessitates a religious approach capable of maintaining social harmony and cohesion. Religious moderation has emerged as an essential concept in responding to such pluralism by emphasizing balance, tolerance, and justice in understanding and practicing religious teachings. This article aims to examine the concept of religious moderation, its foundations and underlying principles, its core values, objectives and urgency, forms of implementation, as well as the supporting and inhibiting factors within the Indonesian social context. This study employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method, analyzing scholarly books, peer-reviewed journal articles, and relevant policy documents. The findings indicate that religious moderation is grounded in strong theological, philosophical, and constitutional foundations and plays a strategic role in preventing conflict, strengthening humanitarian values, and maintaining national integration. The implementation of religious moderation requires sustained collaboration among the government, educational institutions, religious leaders, and society. Despite challenges such as radicalism, limited digital literacy, identity politics, and the lack of exemplary leadership, religious moderation remains a fundamental pillar in fostering a peaceful, just, and tolerant society in Indonesia.

The Application of Hadith on Morality among Hadith Studies Students at UIN Sumatera Utara Medan
The rapid development of technology today is accompanied by various moral problems in society, such as the rise of online gambling, drug abuse, promiscuity, and the decline of respect toward parents and teachers. This phenomenon indicates a moral crisis that has also affected higher education. This study aims to analyze the application of hadiths on morality in the daily lives of Hadith Studies students at UIN Sumatera Utara Medan and to identify the factors influencing it. This research employs a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, and were analyzed using a descriptive-analytical technique. The results show that the application of moral hadiths among students is still partial and inconsistent, influenced by factors such as the campus environment, family, and social interactions. Nevertheless, there are efforts to internalize moral values through both academic and non-academic activities. This study concludes that strengthening the implementation of moral hadiths requires an integrative approach involving curriculum development, lecturers’ role modeling, and a supportive social environment. Therefore, it is recommended to enhance systematic and sustainable moral development programs within the university environment.

Islamic Historiography from Normative Tradition to Critical and Interdisciplinary Approach
This article aims to analyze the transformation of Islamic historiography from a normative tradition toward critical and interdisciplinary approaches. Employing a qualitative approach with a literature review method, this study synthesizes and critically examines various scholarly works related to the development of Islamic historiography. The findings indicate that early Islamic historiography was rooted in oral traditions and the codification of hadith, which established an epistemological foundation based on the verification of transmission (sanad) and content (matan). In its classical phase, Islamic historiography was predominantly siyasah-oriented, reflecting the interplay between knowledge production and political power, resulting in elitist and event-centered narratives. Criticism of these limitations led to the emergence of more analytical approaches, most notably articulated by Ibn Khaldun through his concept of social interpretation. In the modern period, Islamic historiography has evolved toward interdisciplinary approaches by incorporating social, cultural, and economic perspectives, including localized contexts such as Indonesian historiography. This study argues that Islamic historiography is a dynamic epistemological construct that has shifted from a normative-descriptive model to a critical-reflective approach in understanding history.

Dialectics of Fasad and Musibah in the Qur'an as Ethical Framework for Anthropogenic Damage
This study aims to analyze the concepts of fasad (corruption/damage) and musibah (calamity/disaster) in the Qur’an and their relevance to environmental damage caused by anthropogenic activities. The study focuses on the relationship between human actions, ecological imbalance, and disasters from the perspective of Qur’anic ethics. This research uses a qualitative comparative method through thematic exegesis and content analysis of Qur’anic verses and scientific literature on Islamic environmental ethics. Data were collected through library research and analyzed by grouping concepts related to fasad, musibah, khilafah, and mizan. The findings show that fasad refers to human actions that damage moral, social, and ecological balance, while musibah is understood as the consequence of such damage. The Qur’an also emphasizes human responsibility as khalifah to maintain environmental balance and prevent destruction. This study concludes that the concepts of fasad and musibah provide a relevant Qur’anic environmental ethics framework for understanding contemporary ecological crises and contribute to the development of thematic Qur’anic exegesis and Islamic environmental ethics.

The Balance of Academic, Emotional, and Spiritual Intelligence in the Qur’an (An Analysis of Tafsir Al-Misbah on QS. Al-‘Alaq: 1–5 and QS. Al-Hajj: 46)
This study aims to explore the concept of intelligence from the perspective of the Qur’an by examining its academic, emotional, and spiritual dimensions, as well as their relevance to contemporary life. The research focuses on Surah Al-‘Alaq verses 1–5 as the foundation of intellectual (academic) intelligence, and Surah Al-Hajj verse 46 as the basis for emotional and spiritual intelligence. Employing a qualitative approach, this study is conducted through library research using a thematic (maudhu‘i) interpretation method. The primary sources include the Qur’an and Tafsir Al-Misbah by M. Quraish Shihab, supported by various relevant scholarly works. Data are collected through documentation techniques and analyzed using an inductive method. The findings indicate that the Qur’an presents intelligence as an integrated concept encompassing the intellect (‘aql), the heart (qalb), and the soul (ruh). Achieving balance (tawazun) among these elements is essential for developing a complete individual one who possesses strong character, adaptability, and the ability to navigate modern life in a balanced and harmonious way.

The Phenomenon of Presenting the Meaning of Verses in Quranic Content Instagram Review: The Practice of Living the Quran in Generation Z
The development of social media has transformed the way religious messages, including the meaning of Qur’anic verses, are presented and received by Muslim society, especially Generation Z. One of the emerging phenomena is Qur’an review content on Instagram, which presents Qur’anic verses through simple, reflective, and contextual narratives. This study aims to analyze the presentation of Qur’anic meanings in Qur’an review content, examine how Generation Z interprets and responds to the content, and explain the phenomenon within the perspective of living Qur’an in digital space. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytic method and reception analysis. The data were collected through documentation techniques in the form of screenshots of 40 Qur’an review contents and audience comments on Instagram. The findings show that the presentation of Qur’anic meanings follows a consistent pattern consisting of life problems, presentation of verses, reflective explanation, internalization of meaning, and reinforcement of messages. Generation Z tends to interpret the content in reflective, emotional, and personal ways by relating the messages to their life experiences. Audience responses include emotional expressions, self-reflection, spiritual expressions, and religious discussions in the comment section. This study demonstrates that Qur’an review content can be understood as a form of digital living Qur’an practice, where the Qur’an is not only understood as a sacred text but also internalized, interpreted, and expressed through digital interaction.

Constructivism Paradigm in Islamic Religious Education
The constructivist paradigm within Islamic Religious Education (PAI) highlights the students' active involvement in forming knowledge through their experiences, reflection, and social interactions. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method, using a literature review approach to examine the integration of constructivism in PAI learning. Findings indicate that the constructivist approach leads PAI education towards a more participatory, contextual, and human-centered path. Students are transformed from passive recipients of information to active creators of meaning through critical and reflective thinking. Teachers take on roles as facilitators and mediators, aiding students in linking religious concepts to everyday reality. This paradigm also aligns with the evolution of new literacies, such as digital, data, and humanistic literacy, required in today’s world, enabling students to assess religious information critically and responsibly. Hence, constructivism in PAI serves as a conduit between traditional Islamic values and the demands of modern education, fostering individuals who are intellectually, spiritually, and socially adept.

Equality in the Qur'an: Analysis of the Interpretation of QS. Ali ʻImran [3]:195 and Its Relevance to Contemporary Gender Discourse
This study departs from the numerous discussions on gender equality that are always echoed by feminists. The discourse on gender equality in contemporary Islamic discourse continues to undergo dynamics, especially when some circles consider that the interpretation of the Qur'an still contains gender bias. Based on considerations of controversy and life context, this study focuses on examining the interpretation of QS. Ali ʻImran {3}: 195 and its relevance to the discourse on gender equality. This study is a pure literature study with primary data from QS. Ali ʻImran {3}: 195. This study also uses documentation data collection techniques and descriptive and content analysis data analysis. The results of this study show that this verse emphasizes that Allah and His Messenger do not discriminate between human deeds based on gender. Both men and women have the same position and status in the eyes of Allah as long as they are believers and are willing to fight in the way of Allah. Allah will give the same reward for their deeds without favoring one gender over another. This is certainly relevant to the gender equality that is being promoted today, that there is no difference between the deeds/actions of men and women. All of them must be valued and given the same appreciation.

The Effectiveness of Regent Regulation Number 1 of 2019 Concerning the Online Regional Tax System in Tax Collection from a Siyasah dusturiyah Perspective (Case Study: Cipanas Tourist Attraction, Garut Regency)
This research is motivated by data on Regional Original Income (PAD) in the hotel and water tourism tax sector in Garut Regency, which still faces various implementation obstacles. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Garut Regent Regulation Number 1 of 2019 concerning the Regional Tax Online System, examine the perceptions of taxpayers and tax officials, and analyze it from a siyasah industrial perspective. The theoretical framework used refers to Soerjono Soekanto's theory of legal effectiveness which includes five main dimensions, namely legal substance, law enforcement, facilities and infrastructure, society, and legal culture and the siyasah industrial theory which emphasizes the principles of trust, justice, and benefit to assess the suitability of a regulation with Islamic legal values. The research method used is empirical juridical with descriptive analysis techniques through the use of secondary data and the results of field interviews. The results show that the implementation of the regional tax Online system is effective in the hotel tax sector, as indicated by the consistency of revenue realization that exceeds the target. Conversely, in the entertainment tax sector which represents water tourism, effectiveness is not optimal. This is proven to increase transparency, reporting accuracy, and monitoring effectiveness. From the perspective of industrial governance, this policy reflects the principles of trust, justice, and welfare, although it still requires strengthening in the aspects of socialization, apparatus capacity, and technological readiness.

Siyasah Maliyah Review of Baznas Position in Zakat Management After the Constitutional Court Decision Number 54/PUU-XXIII/2025
Zakat governance in Indonesia has been institutionally strengthened through Law Number 23 of 2011, which designates the National Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) as the primary authority in national zakat management. This arrangement raises institutional concerns because BAZNAS performs dual roles as both regulator and operator. The debate intensified following Constitutional Court Decision Number 54/PUU-XXIII/2025, which rejected a judicial review petition against BAZNAS’s authority. This study aims to analyze the legal position of BAZNAS in Indonesia’s zakat management system, examine the implications of Constitutional Court Decision Number 54/PUU-XXIII/2025, and assess BAZNAS’s dual functions from the perspective of siyasah maliyah. This research employs a normative legal method using statutory, conceptual, and Islamic legal approaches. Data sources include legislation, Constitutional Court decisions, classical Islamic legal literature, and relevant academic journals. The findings reveal that BAZNAS’s dual function is constitutionally valid; however, from the perspective of siyasah maliyah, it requires stronger accountability, transparency, and distributive justice to ensure that zakat governance remains aligned with public welfare principles.

"Divine Justice and State Law for Corruptors: A Review of Surah Thaha Verses 124–128 in the Asset Confiscation Law"
Corruption is an extraordinary crime that harms society. A draft Asset Confiscation Bill (RUU) has been proposed to confiscate assets obtained from corruption without waiting for a final criminal verdict, but has not been passed due to various obstacles. This study analyzes the relationship between asset confiscation in Islamic law and the interpretation of QS. Thaha: 124–128, specifically the meaning of ma'isyatan dhankan (narrow life) as a consequence for perpetrators of injustice. This study uses a qualitative method with a thematic interpretation approach and normative analysis of Islamic law and Indonesian regulations. The results indicate that asset confiscation is in line with the principle of Islamic justice, where illicit assets must be returned to the community. This study recommends accelerating the ratification of the Asset Confiscation Bill and wider dissemination for its effective implementation in eradicating corruption.

Politics in the Formulation of Educational Policy as a Form of Power in Public Policy
This paper is a qualitative study based on literature review that explores the political dynamics in the formulation of education policy as a manifestation of power in public policy. Education is not merely a technical-administrative process, but rather a strategic field where ideological contestation, vested interests, and power hegemony take place. Employing a critical theoretical approach, particularly Michel Foucault’s concept of power-knowledge relations and Antonio Gramsci’s theory of hegemony, this study analyzes how education policies are designed, negotiated, and implemented within non-neutral power structures. The findings reveal that education policy often serves as a legitimizing tool for dominant power, shaping educational narratives, values, and practices aligned with elite interests. The political process involving state actors, political elites, bureaucracies, and international institutions plays a decisive role in directing the trajectory and content of national education policy. Thus, education policy is not merely a public policy product but also a mechanism of power to govern, discipline, and produce citizen-subjects according to specific ideological constructions. This study recommends the cultivation of critical awareness in reading education policymaking processes, so that the resulting policies truly uphold social justice, emancipation, and structural liberation.

Analysis of the TGT (Games, Games, and Tournament) Model on Aqidah Learning Outcomes in Elementary Schools
Education will enable students to develop understanding, attitudes, and character, including in religious matters. At the elementary school level, Aqidah lessons are the primary foundation for instilling moral and spiritual values. Therefore, a learning method is needed that not only conveys the material but also makes it easier for students to understand and internalize it. One model that is considered effective is Teams, Games, and Tournaments (TGT). This model combines group work, educational games, and tournaments to encourage learning enthusiasm and improve student academic achievement. The aim was to determine the extent to which the TGT model influences Aqidah learning. The results of the study showed enthusiasm and motivation during the student learning process. They more easily understood Aqidah material through group discussions, fun games, and tournaments that encouraged learning enthusiasm in a healthy competitive atmosphere. Compared to conventional methods, the TGT model was able to create more engaging and interactive learning.

Implementation of the Team Quiz Learning Method as a Learning Medium in Schools in Islamic Religious Education (PAI)
Education plays a crucial role in shaping a generation that excels not only intellectually but also possesses noble character. One of its main components is Islamic Religious Education (PAI), which focuses on instilling Islamic values ​​in students' daily lives. However, Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning practices in the field often rely on traditional methods such as lectures and memorization, which lack active student engagement. To address this issue, innovative approaches are needed, one of which is the Team Quiz method. This approach combines group work and quizzes in a competitive yet fun atmosphere, thereby increasing student engagement. Based on literature studies from various sources, Team Quiz is effective in deepening understanding of the material and developing social skills such as cooperation, communication, and responsibility. In the context of Islamic Religious Education, this method helps convey Islamic values ​​in a more applicable and meaningful way. Furthermore, it supports strengthening learning motivation, reducing academic gaps, and strengthening student character. The implementation of Team Quiz also aligns with the demands of 21st-century skills and the principles of the Independent Curriculum, which centers on differentiation and student participation. Teachers act as active facilitators in guiding students to learn independently and collaboratively.

Mediation Efforts in Domestic Violence Cases at the Lubuk Linggau City Police Department, Reviewed from Islamic Law and Positive Law
Domestic Violence (DV) constitutes a serious social and legal issue in Indonesia. Domestic violence not only inflicts physical and psychological harm on victims but also undermines the harmony of the household as a fundamental social institution within society. According to Article 1 of Law Number 23 of 2004 concerning the Elimination of Domestic Violence, domestic violence is defined as any act against an individual, particularly a woman, that results in physical, sexual, psychological suffering, and/or household neglect. This study employs an empirical juridical (sociological) legal research method, combined with a normative juridical approach. This methodological combination is chosen because the research not only analyzes the applicable written legal regulations (positive law and Islamic law) but also examines how these laws are implemented in practice, specifically in the mediation processes of domestic violence cases within the jurisdiction of the Lubuk Linggau City Police Department. The mediation process in domestic violence cases at the Lubuk Linggau City Police demonstrates a recurring pattern of non-litigation dispute resolution, often pursued under the pretext of familial considerations or social pressure. From the perspective of Islamic law, mediation in domestic conflicts is principally permissible for the purpose of reconciliation and public interest (maslahah), as stipulated in the Qur'an and the practices of the Prophet’s companions. However, Islam also emphasizes the protection of life, dignity, and justice—principles that are integral to the objectives of Islamic law (maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah). From the standpoint of positive law, mediation in domestic violence cases is normatively restricted and cannot serve as grounds to terminate legal proceedings. Law Number 23 of 2004, the Chief of Police Regulation Number 8 of 2021, and the Attorney General’s Regulation Number 15 of 2020 explicitly limit the application of restorative justice, particularly in cases involving repeated violence, serious physical injury, or offenses against vulnerable groups.

Representation of the Female Body and Sexuality in the Book Fathul Izar by KH. Abdullah Fauzi: A Study of Andrea Dworkin's Radical Feminism
This study aims to analyze the representation of women's bodies and sexuality in KH. Abdullah Fauzi's book Fathul Izar through the perspective of Andrea Dworkin's radical feminism. Specifically, this study aims to uncover how the text functions as an instrument of patriarchal control that reduces women to sexual objects and perpetuates a system of subordination in the private sphere. The method used is qualitative with a content analysis design through a critical-interpretive approach. Radical feminist theory was chosen because it views sexuality as an arena of male domination, where women's bodies are defined based on their physical utility. Data were collected through a literature review of the main text of Fathul Izar and related academic literature. The results show that women's bodies are represented subordinately as reproductive objects through the metaphor of "fields" (harts), objects of male sexual pleasure, and biological instruments classified based on physical characteristics or intuition. The discussion reveals the practice of "sacralization of subordination," where prayer rituals and instructions on sexual positions are used to legitimize male control and rob women of their agency. This text positions men as active subjects and women as passive objects deprived of the right to define their own bodily boundaries. This study concludes that Fathul Izar functions as a patriarchal biopolitical instrument that normalizes the total objectification of women. Through a radical reading, this text is deconstructed to encourage a more just and emancipatory reinterpretation of Islamic intellectual heritage for the dignity of women as whole human beings.

The Constitutional Court's Authority to Adjudicate Disputes Over Regional Head Election Results (Pilkada) Following MK Decision No. 85/PUU-XX/2022: A Siyasah Qadhaiyyah Perspective
Regional head election disputes require a constitutionally stable resolution mechanism. This study aims to analyze the shift in the Constitutional Court's authority following Decision Number 85/PUU-XX/2022 and its implications for legal certainty and separation of powers through a Siyasah Qadhaiyyah perspective. A normative juridical method was applied through analysis of legislation, court decisions, and Islamic constitutional law literature. The study finds that the decision permanently establishes the Court's authority over Pilkada disputes, yet produces jurisprudential inconsistency by reinterpreting constitutional norms without formal amendment, risking legal uncertainty and judicial overreach. In conclusion, from a Siyasah Qadhaiyyah perspective, this expansion deviates from the principles of justice, trustworthiness, and balance of power, necessitating a more consistent and accountable regulatory framework.

Instilling Authentic Character Education in Islamic Cultural History Subjects at the Madrasah Aliyah Level
This research aimed to instil authentic character education within the Islamic Cultural History course at the Islamic Senior High School (Aliyah) level. The hope is that students will become creative and independent individuals, able to contextualise each material from the Islamic Cultural History course into their own lives, according to their own needs. In its implementation, the research employed a qualitative descriptive method with a phenomenological approach. For data analysis, the Miles and Huberman theory, which consists of four stages data collection, data condensation, data display, and data verification was implemented. The results indicate that the instillation of authentic character education in the Islamic Cultural History course at the Islamic Senior High School (Madrasah Aliyah) level is found through several aspects: first, efforts to establish interaction between educators and students; second, the empowerment of learning methods aligned with efforts to develop students' authentic character; third, efforts to involve students in learning activities; and fourth, emphasizing students' contextualization of the Islamic Cultural History course material within their daily lives.

Tracing the Culture of Science in the Islamic Tradition in Melayu-Nusantara (Islamization Offers in the Wan Nor Mohd Wan Daud Framework)
This article analyzes the efforts to realize the discourse of the Islamization of Contemporary Science. The researcher explores Wan Daud's ideas on the intellectual and cultural traditions of Islamic science in the Malay-Nusantara archipelago by attempting to analyze the relevant Islamization framework to address the problems of globalization and secularization. The flow of globalization has the potential to obscure and shape the identity bias of a civilization. This runs in accordance with the spirit of Eurocentrism which has a truth-claim neutral attitude towards the nature of knowledge, but on the other hand, it actually strengthens the secularization process, thus impacting Western superiority. This problem is also felt by the Malay-Nusantara civilization. Currently, it faces significant challenges due to the influence of secularization and modernity under the heading of globalization, especially on aspects of culture and intellectual traditions. In this context, the idea of Islamization emerges as a potential solution to overcome the problems faced by Muslims in this century. Islamization consists of two main processes: self-liberation and self-return (devolution) to the natural nature of humanity which is their origin. Based on the above discourse on Islamization, the researcher observes that Wan Daud understands the context of Malay-Nusantara Islamization as a transformative effort encompassing various aspects, from theology and religious dogma to culture, thought, and civilization. This research observes that Wan Daud's framework emphasizes the liberation of reason and the restructuring of thought through language and science, with the ultimate goal of returning to one's natural state. Within this framework, Islamization is not merely viewed as a religious adaptation to modernity, but rather as an effort to renew and revitalize the intellectual culture of Muslims, making it a foundation for developing a just and civilized civilization in accordance with the teachings of the Qur'an and Sunnah.

Implementation of Rewards and Punishments in Strengthening Students' Integrity Character in PPKn Learning at MI Al-Hidayah Gesikharjo Tuban
This study aims to analyze the implementation of operant conditioning theory through a reward and punishment system on the integrity character of third-grade students in Civics (PPKn) at MI Al-Hidayah Gesikharjo Tuban in the 2025/2026 academic year. This research employed a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research subjects consisted of 20 third-grade students. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics through normality test, homogeneity test, and paired sample t-test. The results showed that the implementation of the reward and punishment system in Civics learning was able to bring positive behavioral changes in students, especially in aspects of discipline, responsibility, and honesty The paired sample t-test showed a significance value of 0.811 > 0.05, indicating that there was no statistically significant difference between the pretest and posttest results. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the implementation of operant conditioning theory through a reward and punishment system descriptively supports the strengthening of students’ integrity character, but has not shown a statistically significant effect. Therefore, the development of integrity character requires continuous habituation, role modeling, and reinforcement both in the school and family environments.

Da’wah as Moral Presence: Reframing Multicultural Da‘wah through the Ethics of ‘Ibad Al-Rahman
In Muslim-majority yet religiously plural societies, da‘wah increasingly unfolds within multicultural and digitally mediated public arenas where its social and ethical consequences are closely scrutinized. Although recent scholarship on digital da‘wah has generated important insights into media adaptation and audience engagement, it often conceptualizes da‘wah instrumentally, prioritizing visibility and communicative efficacy over ethical formation. This article reframes da‘wah as moral presence, understood as ethics-centered communication grounded in embodied character, relational restraint, and public responsibility. Employing the Qur’anic moral figure of ʿIbad al-Rahman as a conceptual lens, the study develops a normative framework that foregrounds ethical subjectivity as integral to communicative effectiveness in plural contexts. Rather than offering textual exegesis, the article synthesizes empirical findings on digitally mediated preaching, intercultural sensitivity, and religious personality with normative discourses on harmony and moderation. It argues that da‘wah attains public legitimacy not through persuasion alone, but through the moral comportment of the da‘i as a public ethical actor.

Optimizing Educational Facilities to Improve the Quality of Learning at the Daarul Ishlah Assyafi'iyah Islamic Boarding School
This study aims to analyze the availability of educational facilities and their role in improving the quality of teaching and learning at the Daarul Ishlah Assyafi'iyah Islamic Boarding School in Sungai Loban District, Tanah Bumbu Regency. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive type. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation of 9 informants selected by purposive sampling. The results of the study indicate that the Daarul Ishlah Assyafi'iyah Islamic Boarding School has provided 13 types of educational facilities, including classrooms, dormitories, UKS, OSDIA rooms, mosques/prayer rooms, toilets, bathrooms, computer laboratories, teachers' rooms, cottage kitchens, canteens, communal dining areas, and fields. In general, the facilities are in good condition, although there are still some limitations, such as the lack of fans in classrooms, the less than optimal function of the UKS, and the existence of damaged bathrooms. Educational facilities play a crucial role in improving the quality of learning, as identified in five dimensions: as enablers of the learning process, as vehicles for character development in students, as motivators for learning, as supporters of innovative learning methods, and as supporters of the holistic development of students. Therefore, optimizing educational facilities through effective and sustainable management is a crucial factor in improving the quality of teaching and learning in Islamic boarding schools.

The Beauty of Qur’anic Rhetoric: A Synaesthetic Metaphor Analysis in Surah Al-Waqi’ah
The Qur’an not only conveys normative teachings but also presents an aesthetic linguistic dimension that functions to construct readers’ spiritual experience. One of the key aspects in Qur’anic stylistic studies is synaesthetic metaphor, namely the transfer of sensory perception across different senses used to concretize abstract concepts. This study aims to identify the forms of synaesthetic metaphors in Surah Al-Waqi’ah and to analyze their rhetorical functions in constructing readers’ visual, emotional, and spiritual experiences. This research employs a qualitative approach using a library research method. Primary data are derived from the text of Surah Al-Waqi’ah, while secondary data are obtained from relevant literature in tafsir, Arabic rhetoric (balaghah), stylistics, and previous studies. Data analysis is conducted through identification, classification, and interpretation of linguistic meaning. The findings indicate that synaesthetic metaphors in Surah Al-Waqi’ah operate through sensory transfers involving sight, touch, and taste, thereby transforming eschatological concepts into more concrete experiential representations. Rhetorically, these metaphors enhance imaginative power, intensify emotional response, and strengthen spiritual awareness. Thus, synaesthetic metaphor functions not only as an aesthetic linguistic device but also as a communicative instrument in conveying the theological messages of the Qur’an.

Islamic Law Review on the Role of Gampong in Resolving Adultery Cases in North Aceh
This study examines the role of Gampong customary institutions in resolving adultery cases in North Aceh and analyzes their conformity with Islamic criminal law as regulated in Aceh Qanun No. 6 of 2014 concerning Islamic Criminal Code. The research employs a qualitative method using normative and empirical legal approaches. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and focus group discussions conducted in three Gampongs: Meunasah Blang, Paya Leupah, and Keude Krueng. The findings reveal that Gampong institutions function not only as local administrative structures but also as socio-religious mechanisms for maintaining public morality, social harmony, and communal order. The settlement of adultery cases at the village level emphasizes deliberation, mediation, moral guidance, and restorative justice rather than punitive measures. The study further demonstrates that customary settlements are generally applied in cases categorized as khalwat or moral misconduct that do not fulfill the evidentiary requirements of zina under Islamic law. However, cases considered to meet the legal elements of jarimah are referred to the Wilayatul Hisbah and subsequently processed through the Sharia Court. This research concludes that the interaction between customary law and formal Sharia law in North Aceh reflects a dynamic model of legal pluralism that integrates Islamic values, local wisdom, and social restoration in resolving moral offenses.

The Sovereignty of Ulama in Cyberspace: Reconstruction of Ahlul Halli Wal 'Aqdi in the Epistemology of E-Voting
Massive digital transformation is driving a fundamental redefinition of the global landscape of Islamic religious authority. However, classical Islamic legal tradition establishes physical presence (al-hudur al-jismani) as a primary prerequisite for the legitimacy of collective decision-making (Ahlul Halli wal ‘Aqdi). This library research using a qualitative-interpretive and interdisciplinary approach aims to reconstruct these normative boundaries to make them compatible with the needs of e-voting in the cyber era. The results of the hermeneutic analysis indicate that the requirement for physical presence in classical texts is instrumental to ensure the quality of deliberation, not the primary objective of sharia (maqashidi primer). Therefore, this article proposes a reconstruction of the concept of deliberative presence (al-hudur al-ta’amuli) as a legitimate constitutive substitute through the mechanism of qiyas ma’na. As a procedural implementation, a three-phase e-voting model is formulated: Pre-Deliberation (At-Tahdhir), Structured Deliberation (Al-Musyawarah Al-Murahhala), and Crystallization & Preferendum (Al-Instijma’ Al-Murahhab). Through comparative analysis, this study finds a systemic epistemological gap in pragmatic digital practices in the MUI, Nahdlatul Ulama, and OIC due to the absence of asynchronous rebuttal mechanisms (ta’qib), open argument logs, and layered preferences. Internal validation confirms that this model is fully compatible with the maqasid al-shari'ah in the aspects of protecting religion, reason, property, and honor, and partially compatible in the dimension of protecting descendants (hifzh al-nasl) which is addressed through the recommendations of the digital sanad protocol. This research provides theoretical contributions as well as practical prescriptions for the governance of global fatwa institutions to be technologically agile without sacrificing the epistemological integrity of Islamic law.

Financial Readiness for Family Resilience
This study aims to analyze the role of financial readiness in strengthening family resilience in Indonesia through the perspective of national development law and Maqasid Sharia. The research employed a normative legal method using conceptual and statutory approaches. Data were collected through library research from legislation, scientific journals, academic books, and macroeconomic data published by Statistics Indonesia and the Financial Services Authority. The results indicate that financial readiness has a close relationship with family resilience because it affects the economic, psychological, and social stability of households. Financial literacy, cash flow management, emergency funds, investment, and financial protection are important factors in maintaining family sustainability amid economic instability. In addition, the concept of financial readiness is closely related to the principle of Hifz al-Mal in Maqasid Sharia as a form of protection for family economic sustainability. Therefore, strengthening financial readiness can become an important strategy for developing independent and sustainable families.

The Human Caliphate: An Analysis of Gender Equality between Men and Women
Man is a perfect being created by the Lord as a filling and casting agent to accomplish the task which he has been given. Human beings as caliph are so often misunderstood by most people. Most people misinterpret the concept of human caliph itself, assuming that man as a caliph is directed toward men as a woman. Such efficiency would certainly violate the very definition of caliphate. Since the qur 'an and the mufastors were clearly not claimed that the caliph was directed to men only. We reflect to the qur 'an that in every verse it is mentioned, there is no reference to caliph towards men only, because all the caliph words that are in general meaning, do not point to a single gender. From here it must be understood, that human beings as caliph are addressed to all male and female sexes. Because humans are defined by men and women. There's no text that humans are just men. It is this understanding that needs to be clarified and explained, as in this infamy will provide a description that man as the caliph is addressed to men and women.

Beyond Taharah: Integrative Interpretation of QS Al-Baqarah 2:222 in Biology, Psychology, Spirituality
QS. Al-Baqarah [2]: 222 discusses menstruation through the concept of adha, the prohibition of sexual intercourse, and regulations of cleanliness until a state of purity is attained. In the classical exegesis of al-Qurtubi, this verse is understood within the normative-legal framework of fiqh al-taharah, thereby confining its meaning predominantly to ritual jurisprudential rulings. Such an approach reveals limitations in interpreting menstruation as a multidimensional phenomenon that also encompasses biological and psychological aspects. This study is a library-based research employing an integrative thematic exegesis approach, combining linguistic analysis, al-Qurtubi’s tafsir, and relevant biological and psychological literature. The findings indicate that adha refers to biological disruption and physical-emotional discomfort, rather than merely “impurity”. The phrase fa’tazilu is also understood as a protective restriction of sexual relations, rather than social isolation. The integrative analysis demonstrates that menstruation represents the unity of physiological, psychological, and spiritual dimensions. Thus, the verse is not solely normative-legal in nature, but also contains protective, relational, and reflective meanings in understanding women’s bodily experience in a more holistic manner

Semantic Imprecision in the 2019 Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs' Qur'an Translation: An Asbab al-Nuzul, Lexicographical, and Classical Tafsir Analysis of QS an-Nur [24]: 26
The 2019 Revised Edition of the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs' Qur'an translation occupies a central place in shaping the religious understanding of Indonesian Muslims, so that each of its lexical choices carries wide consequences. This article examines a problem that has not been systematically addressed in the existing critique of the official translation, namely the mismatch between the asbab al-nuzul context and the chosen translational equivalents. The problem is illustrated through a single, highly representative case: QS an-Nur [24]: 26, revealed within the episode of the Hadith al-Ifk. This is a qualitative library research that applies a layered analytical model integrating classical asbab al-nuzul reports (al-Wahidi and al-Suyuti), classical Arabic lexicography (al-Raghib, Ibn Manzur, Ibn Faris), and classical exegesis (al-Tabari, al-Zamakhshari, al-Razi, Ibn Kathir, al-Qurtbi). The findings show that the Ministry renders al-khabithat lil-khabithin in a literal-biological sense (“wicked women for wicked men”), whereas the intratextual context and the majority of classical exegetes support the al-kalimat reading (“evil speech befits evil people”). The literal rendering severs the verse from the slander episode that occasioned its revelation and shifts its message from the domain of speech to that of marriage. The study concludes that, although the 2019 translation remains commendable, this verse requires either an interpretive (tafsiriyah) strategy or an optimisation of historical-contextual footnotes. Theoretically, the article proposes asbab al-nuzul as an operational parameter for evaluating Qur'anic translation.

The Interpretation of Qs Al-Mujadalah [58]: 11 on Knowledge and Faith According to Fakhruddin Al-Razi and Muhammad Izzat Darwazah
The study of knowledge and faith in Islam holds great urgency, especially in understanding how both serve as key factors in elevating a Muslim’s rank. Surah Al-Mujadalah [58]:11 affirms that Allah raises the ranks of those who believe and those endowed with knowledge. This study aims to examine the interpretation of the verse from the perspectives of Fakhruddin al-Razi in Mafatih al-Ghaib and Muhammad Izzat Darwazah in At-Tafsir al-Hadith, in order to understand the meaning of believers and the knowledgeable, as well as the concept of “ascending in rank in the sight of Allah” as explained in classical and modern exegesis. This research employs a comparative method through a library research approach. The results show that both al-Razi and Darwazah agree that faith is not merely verbal acknowledgment, but must be realized through concrete actions. However, al-Razi emphasizes the hierarchical relationship between knowledge and levels of faith, where deeper knowledge leads to higher spiritual attainment. Meanwhile, Darwazah highlights the social dimension of faith and knowledge through ethics, manners, and social practice in communal life. These differences indicate that classical and modern exegesis possess distinct interpretative orientations in understanding the relationship between knowledge and faith in QS Al-Mujadalah [58]: 11.

Analysis of the Level of Public Trust in Zakat Management by Laziznu Metro City Through Partnership with BMT Artha Buana Metro
This study aims to analyze the level of public trust in zakat management by LAZISNU Metro City and to determine the role of the partnership between LAZISNU Metro City and BMT Artha Buana Metro in improving the effectiveness of zakat management. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation with informants consisting of the Head of LAZISNU Metro City, the Manager of BMT Artha Buana Metro, and one of the muzakki. The collected data were analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study show that the level of public trust in zakat management by LAZISNU Metro City is still not fully optimal, as some people still prefer to distribute their zakat directly to mustahik. However, from the institutional perspective, the level of public trust shows an increase, which is indicated by the growing number of muzakki and community participation in LAZISNU social programs. The partnership between LAZISNU Metro City and BMT Artha Buana Metro is implemented in the form of cooperation in the collection and distribution of zakat funds in a formal and administrative manner. Factors influencing public trust include trust in the institution, a well-planned organizational work system, centralized management of zakat funds, and the mechanism of zakat distribution carried out through a survey process of prospective mustahik. Based on these findings, it is recommended that LAZISNU Metro City continue to improve transparency and accountability in zakat management, strengthen public socialization regarding the importance of distributing zakat through official institutions, and optimize cooperation with Islamic financial institutions such as BMT to enhance the effectiveness of zakat collection and distribution.
