Nevertheless, its implementation still faces challenges, particularly in the aspects of learning innovation and the maximum use of technology. The conclusion of this study affirms that strengthening the pedagogical competence of PAI teachers needs to be carried out continuously so that it remains aligned with the demands of teacher professionalism in the modern era. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of continuous training and teacher professional development as strategies to improve the quality of PAI learning and ensure the alignment of pedagogical practice with the applicable teacher competency standards.

Dari Hafalan Hadis ke Aksi Ekologis: Integrasi Nilai Islam dalam Pengelolaan Sampah untuk Meningkatkan Kesadaran Lingkungan Siswa MA Ma’arif Gembong

2026-05-26T17:40:31+08:00

Although environmental education based on Islamic values has received attention in several previous studies, research that specifically discusses the integration of hadith memorization in waste management to improve students’ environmental awareness remains limited. This study aims to analyze the integration of Islamic values through hadith memorization in waste management and its impact on students’ environmental awareness at MA Ma’arif Gembong. This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive design, involving students, teachers, and related parties selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation and were then analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was tested using triangulation. The results showed that the integration of Islamic values through hadith memorization had a positive impact on character formation and increased students’ awareness of environmental cleanliness. Hadith memorization activities accompanied by understanding of meaning and direct practice, such as sorting and disposing of waste in the proper place, were effective in instilling the values of cleanliness, responsibility, and environmental care. This program was implemented in a structured manner through memorization activities, discussions, practice, evaluation, and communal cleaning activities, thereby encouraging increased student discipline in maintaining the cleanliness of the school environment. However, its implementation still faced obstacles in the form of low initial student awareness, limited facilities, and a lack of program consistency. The conclusion of this study affirms that habituating Islamic values through practical activities plays an important role in shaping environmentally caring behavior. These findings provide a theoretical contribution to the development of character-based Islamic education and practical implications for schools in designing integrative, applicable, and sustainable environmental learning strategies.

Pendekatan Historis dalam Studi Islam: Analisis Konseptual, Metodologis, dan Implementatif

2026-05-30T14:07:47+08:00

Although the historical approach in Islamic studies has been addressed in a number of scholarly works, studies that integrate its conceptual, methodological, and implementative dimensions within a single analytical framework remain limited. This study aims to analyze the epistemological nature, urgency, operational stages, functions, strengths and limitations, and application of the historical approach in Islamic studies, with particular attention to contemporary challenges in Indonesia. This study used a qualitative library research method by relying on scholarly literature from the last decade as the source of review. The data were analyzed through conceptual review and critical synthesis of relevant literature to formulate the relationship between normativity, historicity, and operational methodology in Islamic studies. The results show that the historical approach functions not only reconstructively but also critically and transformatively in understanding Islamic teachings contextually. Through the stages of heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography conducted systematically, this approach is able to produce a more objective and nuanced understanding of religious texts and practices. This review also shows that the historical approach is important for avoiding literalist readings of the Qur’an, tracing the Islamization process of Nusantara, and interpreting local religious traditions such as kenduri. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative synthesis that bridges the normativity-historicity framework with operational methodology, thereby filling a gap in the literature that has tended to discuss these aspects separately. This study contributes to the development of methodological studies in Islamic studies and provides implications for academics and researchers in applying the historical approach critically, contextually, and systematically in understanding the dynamics of Islamic teachings and practices.

Implementasi Metode Brainstorming dalam Pembelajaran Fikih Kelas X MA Mamba’ul Ulum Megaluh Jombang

2026-05-31T09:59:15+08:00

Although the brainstorming method has been widely studied in learning contexts, research specifically discussing its application in Fikih learning for Grade X at MA Mamba’ul Ulum Megaluh Jombang remains limited. This study aims to analyze the application of the brainstorming method in improving students’ understanding in Fikih learning and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation. This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive phenomenological design. The research informants included Fikih teachers and Grade X students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and were then analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data display, conclusion drawing, and verification. The results showed that the application of the brainstorming method was able to create a more active, interactive, communicative, and participatory learning atmosphere. This method encouraged students to express ideas, engage in discussion, exchange opinions, and understand Fikih material more deeply. The supporting factors for its application included the teacher’s role as a facilitator, an open classroom atmosphere, and students’ courage in expressing opinions. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors included differences in students’ characteristics and abilities, low self-confidence, lack of readiness for the material, and limited learning time. These findings contribute to the development of active learning based on social constructivism and expand understanding of the use of the brainstorming method in Fikih learning. This study concludes that the teacher’s role, student readiness, and effective time management are important factors in optimizing the application of the brainstorming method. The implication is that Fikih teachers need to combine this method with other learning strategies so that the learning process becomes more participatory, contextual, and meaningful.

Implementation of BAZNAS Regulation No. 2/2016 in the Collection of Zakat, Infak and Sadaqah (ZIS) by the Zakat Collector Unit

2026-06-01T07:52:47+08:00

Effective governance of zakat collection requires clear regulatory implementation, institutional coordination, and public literacy, particularly in urban contexts with complex administrative structures. This study examines the implementation of Peraturan Badan Amil Zakat Nasional (Perbaznas) Regulation No. 2 of 2016 concerning the establishment and governance of Zakat Collection Units (UPZ), with a focus on its application within BAZNAS (BAZIS) of DKI Jakarta Province. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and Van Meter and Van Horn’s policy implementation model, the study collected data through in-depth interviews, document analysis, and field observations. The findings indicate that the implementation of the regulation has contributed to increased collection of zakat, infaq, and sadaqah (ZIS), as reflected in the growth recorded in 2023 and 2024. However, policy implementation remains constrained by limited human resource capacity, weak inter-unit coordination, and low zakat literacy among urban communities. Conversely, regulatory support, digitalization, and the active participation of civil servants serve as enabling factors that strengthen the implementation process. The study concludes that the effectiveness of Perbaznas Regulation No. 2 of 2016 depends on institutional capacity, coordinated governance, digital adaptation, and context-sensitive public engagement. These findings contribute to the literature on Islamic public policy and provide practical implications for improving professional, adaptive, and sustainable zakat governance within urban government institutions.

Inovasi Penilaian dalam Pembelajaran Terjemah Arab-Indonesia

2026-06-03T06:33:24+08:00

Assessment in Arabic-Indonesian translation learning in higher education is still often characterized by teacher subjectivity and the absence of standardized evaluation standards. An assessment focus that tends to be fixed on the final product without considering students’ cognitive processes causes evaluation to be less optimal in supporting the improvement of translation competence. This study aims to formulate and develop an innovative translation assessment rubric design model that is more objective, systematic, and learning-oriented. This study used a qualitative method with a library research approach through critical analysis of various primary and secondary literature related to contemporary translation theory and educational evaluation. The results of the study produced the concept and design of an analytical assessment rubric model that proportionally integrates three main dimensions, namely accuracy of meaning, translation equivalence, and language fluency. The conclusion of the study affirms that the implementation of a comprehensive analytical rubric can minimize teacher subjectivity bias while also functioning as an assessment instrument for learning. The implications of this study provide theoretical contributions to the development of studies on Arabic-Indonesian translation learning evaluation, as well as practical implications for teachers in providing constructive formative feedback to continuously improve students’ translation competence.

Literasi Digital dan Pola Berpikir Santri: Studi Fenomenologi di Pondok Pesantren Kalaga al-Kamal Denanyar Jombang

2026-06-06T11:09:24+08:00

Although digital literacy in Islamic education has received increasing attention, studies that specifically discuss the role of digital literacy in shaping the thinking patterns of santri in pesantren environments integrated with Islamic epistemological values remain limited. This study aims to analyze santri experiences in utilizing digital technology, describe their thinking patterns in evaluating and using digital information, and identify factors that influence digital literacy in the pesantren environment. This study used a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design, involving 26 santri, one caregiver, and two administrators of Pondok Pesantren Kalaga Al-Kamal Denanyar Jombang, who were selected purposively. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation as well as member checking. The results showed that santri digital literacy developed in a controlled situation through technology-use rules, time restrictions, and intensive mentoring. The thinking patterns of santri tended to be selective and cautious in evaluating digital information, influenced by pesantren policies, the roles of caregivers and administrators, and the individual awareness of santri grounded in Islamic Religious Education values. The novelty of this study lies in the integration of Islamic principles, namely iqra’, tabayyun, and tafakur, as an analytical framework for digital literacy that strengthens Social Constructivism theory in the context of Islamic education. The conclusion of this study affirms that institutional mentoring plays an important role in shaping santri as responsible digital citizens. The implications of this study provide theoretical contributions to the development of digital literacy based on Islamic epistemology and practical contributions for pesantren in formalizing a digital literacy curriculum based on Islamic values.

Penguatan Perlindungan Hak Anak di Ruang Digital melalui Integrasi Instrumen Hukum Nasional, Internasional, dan Permenkomdigi Nomor 9 Tahun 2026

2026-06-07T09:19:27+08:00

Strengthening national digital sovereignty is important in mitigating the risks of violence, exploitation, and violations of children’s privacy in cyberspace, particularly through the enactment of Regulation of the Minister of Communication and Digital Number 9 of 2026. This study aims to analyze the synchronization of norms between international legal instruments, particularly the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and national regulations, as well as to explain the child protection mechanisms that must be implemented by Electronic System Providers (PSE). This study used a normative juridical method with statutory and comparative approaches. Secondary data sources included the 1945 Constitution, the Child Protection Law, the Juvenile Criminal Justice System Law, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and related regulations, which were analyzed qualitatively through content analysis techniques and deductive reasoning. The results showed that Permenkomdigi Number 9 of 2026 harmonizes international standards into national juridical mandates by requiring PSE to implement a safety-by-design approach, an accurate age verification system, and user age-range grouping. The conclusion of this study affirms that the regulation functions as a technical instrument to guarantee the rights to protection, privacy, and growth and development of Indonesian children so that they remain safe and dignified amid the complexity of digital technology transformation. The implications of this study indicate that harmonization among national law, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and Permenkomdigi Number 9 of 2026 strengthens the framework for protecting children’s rights in the digital space through regulations that are more adaptive to the risks of technology-based violence, exploitation, and privacy violations.

The Rules of Nakirah and Ma'rifah in Surah Al-Insyirah Verses 5–6: Linguistic Analysis and Interpretation

2026-06-08T20:32:44+08:00

Linguistic analysis plays an important role in uncovering the semantic depth and rhetorical beauty of the Qur’an, particularly through the study of definiteness and indefiniteness in Arabic grammar. This study aims to examine the application of the principles of al-nakirah and al-ma’rifah in Surah Al-Inshirah verses 5–6 and analyze their implications for Qur’anic interpretation. This research employed a library-based method using linguistic and exegetical approaches through the analysis of classical and contemporary works on Arabic grammar, rhetoric, and Qur’anic exegesis. The findings reveal that the word al-‘usr (العسر) appears in the definite form (ma’rifah) in both verses, indicating the same specific hardship. In contrast, the word yusran (يسرا) appears in the indefinite form (nakirah), indicating diverse and multiple forms of ease. Based on the grammatical principle governing the repetition of definite and indefinite nouns, the repetition of a definite noun refers to the same entity, whereas the repetition of an indefinite noun implies different or multiple meanings. Therefore, Surah Al-Inshirah verses 5–6 convey the theological and rhetorical message that one hardship will not overcome the many forms of ease granted by Allah. This study concludes that understanding the principles of al-nakirah and al-ma’rifah is essential for achieving a deeper, more accurate, and comprehensive interpretation of Qur’anic meaning. The study contributes to Qur’anic linguistics by demonstrating how Arabic grammatical structures support exegetical precision and enrich the interpretation of Qur’anic rhetoric.

Analisis Dilālah al-Mafhūm al-Mukhālafah dalam Ushul Fiqh dan Relevansinya terhadap Istinbath Hukum Islam Kontemporer

2026-06-10T04:37:53+08:00

Mafhūm al-mukhālafah is one of the methods of legal derivation in uṣūl al-fiqh used to understand the implicit meaning of a scriptural text through an opposite interpretation of the wording stated. Although it has long been part of classical uṣūl al-fiqh studies, debates regarding its probative authority and relevance in addressing contemporary Islamic legal issues continue to persist. This study aims to analyze the concept, probative authority, and relevance of mafhūm al-mukhālafah in the process of contemporary Islamic legal derivation. This study used a qualitative approach with a library research design. Data were obtained through documentation studies of classical uṣūl al-fiqh texts, scientific articles, books, and contemporary literature discussing mafhūm al-mukhālafah and its application in modern Islamic law. The data were analyzed descriptively and analytically by examining the concept, scholarly arguments, and developments in its use across various contemporary issues. The results show that mafhūm al-mukhālafah has strong methodological legitimacy, particularly within the Shafi‘i school tradition, as an instrument for understanding the implicit meaning of scriptural texts. Its use in contemporary contexts has developed through integration with the maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah approach, making it relevant in responding to legal issues related to the digital economy, electronic transactions, and modern technological developments. This study also found differences in scholarly views regarding the probative authority of mafhūm al-mukhālafah, which are influenced by differing textual and contextual paradigms in legal derivation. The conclusion of this study affirms that mafhūm al-mukhālafah remains relevant as a methodological instrument in the development of contemporary Islamic law when used proportionally and integrated with the principles of maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah. The contribution of this study lies in strengthening an uṣūl al-fiqh methodology that is adaptive to social change without disregarding the normative foundations of sharia.

Keteladanan Nabi sebagai Kontrol Hedonisme Kalangan Remaja Perspektif al-Qur’ān dan Ḥadīth

2026-06-11T16:19:42+08:00

The development of digital media has changed adolescents’ lifestyles, including the increasing tendency toward a hedonistic lifestyle characterized by consumptive behavior, flexing culture, and the pursuit of social recognition through digital media. This phenomenon has the potential to influence adolescents’ character formation and shift their life orientation from meaningful values toward momentary pleasure. This study aims to analyze the exemplary conduct of Prophet Muhammad as a model for controlling hedonistic lifestyles among adolescents based on the perspectives of the Qur’an and Hadith. This study used a qualitative method with a library research approach. Data were obtained from Qur’anic verses, the Prophet’s hadiths, Qur’anic exegesis books, hadith commentary books, and scientific literature relevant to the themes of hedonism, consumptive behavior, and character education. The data were analyzed using a thematic approach and content analysis. The results showed that the Qur’an criticizes hedonistic behavior through prohibitions against isrāf, tabdhīr, and excessive life orientation toward material aspects. As an alternative, Islam offers prophetic values reflected in the exemplary conduct of Prophet Muhammad, including qanā‘ah, self-control, simplicity in life, social concern, and balance between worldly life and the hereafter. These values are relevant in shaping adolescents’ character so that they are able to face the pressures of consumptive culture and the influence of social media wisely. The conclusion of this study affirms that the exemplary conduct of Prophet Muhammad can serve as a conceptual and practical foundation for controlling adolescents’ tendency toward hedonism and forming a young generation that is characterized, moderate, and responsible in the digital era.

The Concept of Human Freedom in the Qadariyah and Jabariyah Traditions: A Critical Review

2026-06-23T06:04:22+08:00

Although debates on human freedom and divine destiny occupy a central position in Islamic theological discourse, the historical and socio-political roots of the Qadariyah–Jabariyah controversy require further critical examination. This study aims to analyze the historical development and theological debate between the Qadariyah and Jabariyah schools of thought concerning human agency, divine will, and moral responsibility. Employing a qualitative library research design with historical-critical and comparative approaches, this study examines classical primary texts and relevant contemporary secondary literature through textual hermeneutics and comparative thematic analysis. The findings indicate that the debate emerged from post-conflict political dynamics, particularly internal disputes and crises of leadership legitimacy, which generated polemics concerning the status of sinners, the meaning of faith, and the relationship between qada’ and qadar. The Qadariyah, represented by Ma’bad al-Juhani and Ghailan al-Dimashqi, emphasize human qudrah and individual moral responsibility, interpreting human freedom as the capacity to choose within the limits of Sunnatullah, especially through the distinction between musayyar and mukhayyar. Conversely, the Jabariyah, associated with Jahm ibn Safwan and its moderate variants, emphasize the dominance of divine will; while the extreme variant denies human volition, the moderate variant acknowledges kasb as the human acquisition of actions created by God. The analysis demonstrates that these epistemic differences are not merely doctrinal disputes but are also shaped by socio-political dynamics and intellectual interactions across traditions. This study concludes that a moderate understanding that integrates reason, human endeavor, and divine sovereignty provides a constructive foundation for contemporary ethics, education, and religious policy. By addressing manuscript limitations and historiographical bias, this study contributes to a more transparent and contextual understanding of classical Islamic theological debates.

Takhallī sebagai Coping Stres Akademik: Studi terhadap Mahasiswa Tadris Biologi UIN Raden Mas Said Surakarta

2026-06-11T16:52:23+08:00

Academic stress is a problem frequently experienced by students due to the high demands of lectures, assignments, practicums, and academic achievement targets. Students of Tadris Biologi at UIN Raden Mas Said Surakarta are vulnerable to stress because they must engage in theoretical learning and practicum activities simultaneously. This study aims to identify the factors causing academic stress and analyze the relevance of the concept of takhallī in Sufism as a strategy for managing academic stress among Tadris Biologi students at UIN Raden Mas Said Surakarta. This study used a qualitative approach, with data collected through online semi-structured interviews using WhatsApp with eight students from the 2023, 2024, and 2025 cohorts. The data were analyzed through the stages of data reduction, triangulation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the main factors causing academic stress included numerous assignments, practicum reports, a dense lecture schedule, and psychological pressure. The effects of stress experienced by students included fatigue, anxiety, lack of sleep, burnout, and decreased learning motivation. To address these problems, students applied various coping strategies, with a tendency to view spiritual-based coping as the most effective in providing inner calm. These strategies included prayer, dhikr, and the application of takhallī values, such as patience, tawakkal, and muhasabah. The conclusion of this study affirms that the concept of takhallī is relevant as a psychospiritual approach to academic stress management because it helps students control emotions, reduce anxiety, and build mental resilience in facing academic pressure. These findings imply the importance of integrating Sufi values into strengthening students’ psychological well-being in Islamic higher education settings.

The Urgency of Asbabun Nuzul in Understanding the Context of the Qur'an Verses

2026-06-13T05:56:38+08:00

Asbāb al-nuzūl, as a discipline within Ulūm al-Qur’an, provides an essential framework for connecting Qur’anic verses with the historical, social, and situational contexts in which they were revealed. This study aims to analyze the concept, classification, wisdom, and urgency of asbāb al-nuzūl in contemporary tafsir studies. Employing a qualitative literature-based approach, the study draws on primary sources from Qur’anic sciences and secondary sources from scholarly journal articles. Data were collected through documentation and analyzed using a descriptive-analytical method. The findings indicate that, both etymologically and terminologically, asbāb al-nuzūl refers to events, questions, or conditions that served as the background for the revelation of Qur’anic verses. Its main classifications consist of multiple causes for a single revelation (ta‘addud al-asbāb wa al-nāzil wāḥid) and a single cause for multiple revelations (ta‘addud al-nāzil wa al-asbāb wāḥid), reflecting the dynamic nature of revelation in responding to diverse social needs. The study further shows that understanding asbāb al-nuzūl offers practical benefits, including clarifying the meaning of verses, determining the scope of legal application, preventing misinterpretation, and strengthening memorization and contextual comprehension. Its urgency has become increasingly significant in the contemporary era, particularly in preventing disproportionate literal readings and supporting the contextual application of Qur’anic teachings. The study concludes that strengthening the study of asbāb al-nuzūl is crucial for developing an accurate, relevant, and contextually grounded methodology for interpreting the Qur’an in response to modern challenges.

Qur'anic Parenting Patterns in the Era of Disruption: Actualizing Wahbah Az-Zuhaili's Interpretation of Q.S. Luqman 13–19 in Tafsir al-Munir

2026-06-13T14:26:04+08:00

The rapid advancement of digital technology in the era of disruption has reshaped family dynamics and raised concerns about parenting crises, moral deterioration, and the weakening of spiritual bonds among young Muslims. This study aims to examine the actualization of Wahbah az-Zuhaili’s thought in Tafsir al-Munir on Q.S. Luqman verses 13–19 as a Qur’anic parenting framework responsive to the challenges of modern digital life. Employing a qualitative library research approach, the study applies thematic tafsir and content analysis to interpret the educational values embedded in these verses. The findings indicate that az-Zuhaili conceptualizes Q.S. Luqman verses 13–19 as an integrated Islamic educational framework comprising four core parenting values: tawhid as the foundation of children’s theological identity, birrul walidain as the basis of moral relations, muraqabah as divine awareness that cultivates personal integrity, and social character as a means of balancing individual piety with collective responsibility. These values are relevant and applicable as practical guidance for Muslim parents in strengthening faith-based parenting amid the complexities of digital disruption. The study concludes that Qur’anic parenting derived from az-Zuhaili’s interpretation offers a normative and practical framework for reinforcing Islamic family education, preserving children’s spiritual identity, and guiding parental roles in the contemporary digital era.

Analisis Perilaku Pro Sosial Anak dalam Film Animasi Upin dan Ipin

2026-06-16T09:14:20+08:00

Although the animation Upin and Ipin has been widely studied as a medium for character education, research that specifically discusses the representation of children’s prosocial behavior in particular episodes remains limited. This study aims to analyze the forms and representation of children’s prosocial behavior in the animated film Upin and Ipin Season 15 episode “Gerobok Rezeki.” This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical content analysis design. The research subject was focused on one episode selected purposively. Data were collected through participatory observation of audio-visual content and documentation studies, and were then analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that prosocial behavior in the episode is represented through three main indicators, namely helping, sharing, and cooperation. Helping behavior appears in Upin and Ipin’s interactions with family and community figures, sharing behavior is seen in peer relationships at TK Tadika Mesra, whereas cooperation is reflected in playing together and mutual assistance in facing problems in the village environment. This finding affirms that the episode “Gerobok Rezeki” not only contains moral values but also constructs prosocial behavior concretely and contextually. The conclusion of this study affirms the importance of helping, sharing, and cooperation as foundations for the formation of children’s social character. The implications of this study indicate that the animation Upin and Ipin can be utilized as an educational medium for educators and parents in instilling empathy, care, and the ability to interact positively in early childhood.

Paradigm of Integration and Islamization of Science: Implementation in Islamic Higher Education

2026-06-16T17:51:07+08:00

Although the Islamic worldview, knowledge integration, and the Islamization of knowledge have received considerable scholarly attention, research specifically examining their implementation as a comprehensive strategy for addressing contemporary intellectual challenges in Islamic higher education remains limited. This study aimed to analyze the role of Islamic higher education institutions in implementing knowledge integration and Islamization as an effort to strengthen the Islamic worldview and reconstruct the relationship between religious and scientific disciplines. A qualitative approach with a library research design was employed, drawing on scholarly sources, including books, journal articles, and academic publications relevant to the Islamic worldview, knowledge integration, the Islamization of knowledge, and Islamic higher education. Data were collected through documentation techniques and analyzed using content analysis. The findings indicate that the decline of Islamic civilization is partly associated with the dichotomous separation between religion and science, which has produced fragmented knowledge and limited interdisciplinary engagement. The study further reveals that the implementation of knowledge integration and Islamization in Islamic universities can be pursued through two main strategies: curriculum reconstruction grounded in Islamic values, the Islamic worldview, and the dewesternization of knowledge; and the implementation of a boarding system that integrates intellectual, spiritual, and moral development. These strategies support the formation of graduates who possess intellectual competence, spiritual awareness, and ethical character rooted in the principle of Tawhid. The study concludes that integrating Islamic values into academic systems and institutional culture is essential for strengthening students’ intellectual and spiritual capacities. These findings contribute to Islamic educational philosophy by extending the discourse on the integration of religious and scientific knowledge, while offering practical implications for Islamic higher education institutions in designing curricula, educational policies, and student development programs aligned with Islamic principles. Future research may further examine empirical models for implementing knowledge integration and Islamization in contemporary Islamic universities.

The Relevance of the Principle of Peace in Islamic Civilization Towards the Israel-Palestine Conflict

2026-06-16T20:51:35+08:00

Although peacebuilding and conflict resolution have been widely discussed in contemporary scholarship, research that systematically connects Islamic civilizational concepts of peace with the ethical challenges of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains limited. This study aimed to examine the concept of peace in Islamic civilization and evaluate its relevance as an ethical framework for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. A qualitative library research design was employed using historical and conceptual approaches. Data were drawn from primary sources, including the Qur’an, hadith, and the Medina Charter, as well as secondary literature on classical Islamic thinkers and contemporary peacebuilding. The findings indicate that Islamic peace is multidimensional, extending beyond the absence of war to include justice (al-‘adl), deliberation (shura), reconciliation (sulh), mediation (tahkim), tolerance (tasammuh), human brotherhood (ukhuwah insaniyah), and universal compassion (rahmatan lil ‘alamin). Historical examples, particularly the Medina Charter and the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, demonstrate early institutional commitments to pluralism, legal protection, and diplomacy. The study argues that these principles offer normative and practical resources for peace processes by prioritizing long-term justice, civilian protection, inclusive deliberation, and humanitarian solidarity. Applied to the Israeli-Palestinian context, this framework highlights opportunities for moral mediation, human-centered reconciliation, and the involvement of Muslim-majority mediators, while also recognizing constraints such as geopolitical interests, mutual distrust, and extremist distortions of religion. The study concludes that revitalizing and operationalizing Islamic peace values can contribute an alternative ethically grounded pathway toward sustainable peace. Its implications include theoretical contributions to Islamic peace studies and practical relevance for policymakers, religious leaders, and peacebuilding actors in developing multilateral engagement, confidence-building measures, and institutional mechanisms that translate normative principles into political and legal practice.

Nilai Mitsaqan Ghalizha melalui Program Tepuk Sakinah dalam Menjawab Tantangan Perkawinan Era Digital

2026-06-18T19:58:03+08:00

Marriage in Islam is understood as mitsaqan ghalizha, namely a great and firm covenant that contains five fundamental values, including zawaj, mitsaqan ghalizhan, mu’asyarah bil ma’ruf, musyawarah, and taradhin. In the digital era, these values face serious challenges due to the spread of phubbing, cyber-infidelity, text-based miscommunication, and the tendency to compare domestic life through social media. This study aims to normatively analyze the values of mitsaqan ghalizha contained in the Tepuk Sakinah program and to examine its relevance as an instrument for strengthening family resilience in facing the challenges of marriage in the digital era. This study used a normative legal method (library research) with a conceptual approach and Islamic family jurisprudence analysis. The results show that the lyrics and structure of Tepuk Sakinah are normatively aligned with the principles of Islamic family law and represent the values of zawaj, mitsaqan ghalizhan, mu’asyarah bil ma’ruf, musyawarah, and taradhin in a simple and memorable form of education. This program can also be understood as a manifestation of Sadd Adz-Dzari’ah and Maslahah Mursalah in the context of contemporary jurisprudence because it has the potential to serve as a preventive instrument for mitigating family conflict in the digital era. The conclusion of this study affirms that Tepuk Sakinah is an educational innovation in marriage guidance that is relevant for adaptively strengthening Muslim family resilience. The implications of this study indicate that the program not only strengthens prospective brides’ and grooms’ understanding of the sacred values of marriage but can also function as a practical guide in countering the destructive impact of technology on family relations.

An Analysis of Islamic Boarding School Students’ Understanding of Zakat in Nailur Raja’

2026-06-20T19:53:06+08:00

Although kitab kuning learning has been widely studied in pesantren education, studies that specifically analyze the level of students’ understanding of zakat material in Nailur Raja’ Syarh Matan Safinatun Najah remain limited. This study aims to analyze the level of understanding of students at Minhajul Hayah Islamic Boarding School Tawangmangu regarding zakat material in the book. This study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive survey design involving 17 students through a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through a written test measuring students’ understanding of the definition of zakat, the obligatory requirements of zakat, types of zakat, nisab, haul, and groups of zakat recipients (mustahik). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics in the form of percentages and categorization of levels of understanding. The results showed that 70.6% of students were in the high understanding category, whereas 29.4% were in the moderate understanding category. The students’ relatively high level of understanding was supported by the method of memorizing the matan and contextual explanations of the book’s content. However, learning still faced obstacles in the form of less systematic material delivery, limited applicative exercises, and low mastery of Arabic linguistic sciences, particularly nahwu and sharaf. These findings contribute to the development of pesantren pedagogy, particularly in kitab kuning-based fiqh learning. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of systematic learning strategies, applicative exercises, and strengthening Arabic language competence to improve students’ understanding of fiqh material and to serve as a reference for the development of learning in pesantren.

Strategi Optimalisasi Peran Guru Pendidikan Agama Islam dalam Menghadapi Degradasi Moral Siswa di Era Digital: Studi di SMP Negeri 1 Peterongan

2026-06-21T07:11:03+08:00

The development of digital technology has influenced students’ morals and behavior, particularly at the junior high school level. Although digital media can support the learning process, its increasingly widespread use has also raised various moral issues in the school environment. This study aims to analyze the optimization of the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in overcoming students’ moral degradation in the digital era at SMP Negeri 1 Peterongan. This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving PAI teachers, students, and school stakeholders. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was strengthened through source triangulation and technique triangulation. The results showed that students’ moral degradation was marked by declining discipline, reduced respect for teachers, misuse of digital devices, and weak behavioral control. This condition was influenced by internal factors in the form of students’ habits and self-control abilities, as well as external factors in the form of exposure to social media, peer influence, and limited parental supervision. In addressing these problems, PAI teachers optimized their roles as educators, role models, motivators, and counselors through religious habituation, personal approaches, exemplary conduct, spiritual motivation, and supervision of students’ behavior. These findings contribute to the development of studies on character education based on Islamic values in the context of the digital era. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that addressing students’ moral degradation requires the continuous and integrated optimization of the role of PAI teachers through synergy among schools, families, and communities.
