Peran Zainuddin Labay El Yunusy dalam Pembaruan Pendidikan Islam di Indonesia
This research aims to analyze the contributions and thoughts of Zainuddin Labay El Yunusy toward the transformation of the Islamic education system in Indonesia during the early 20th century. As a central figure from Padang Panjang, West Sumatra, he pioneered a paradigm shift from the traditional halaqah education system to a more structured classical system through the establishment of Diniyyah School in 1915. The method used in this study is a descriptive-analytical historical method with a literature review approach. The findings indicate that the reforms initiated by Zainuddin Labay encompassed the integration of a curriculum that combined religious sciences with general subjects, the adoption of modern teaching methodologies such as the classroom system and formal school infrastructure and institutional modernization that inspired the birth of various modern madrasahs across the archipelago. Zainuddin Labay’s visionary steps not only broke the stagnation of Islamic education at the time but also successfully laid the foundation for a madrasah system that remains adaptive to contemporary demands while remaining deeply rooted in strong Islamic values.

Bagaimana Kalimat Terbentuk? Kajian Teori Generatif-Transformatif dalam Pembelajaran Bahasa Arab
This article discusses how sentences are formed based on Generative-Transformational Theory and its application in Arabic language learning. The background of this article is rooted in the need to understand sentence formation not only as a Surface Structure but also as a mental process involving deeper linguistic mechanisms. The objective of this article is to describe the main ideas of the theory, including innate language ability , deep and Surface Structures, and Transformational Rules, as well as to explain its relevance in Arabic language instruction. This article employs a qualitative descriptive approach through literature review and conceptual analysis, supported by examples of sentence transformation in Arabic. The discussion highlights that language is a creative system governed by internal competence, where sentences are generated through a process from thought to deep structure, transformed into Surface Structure. The application in learning involves transformation exercises, structural analysis, and sentence variation practices. The findings indicate that this approach helps learners better understand sentence structure, produce sentences independently, and grasp the process of sentence formation more effectively. The implication of this article is that Arabic language teaching should emphasize understanding and cognitive processes rather than rote memorization.

Akhlak dalam Keluarga Perspektif Al-Qur’an dan Hadis: Relasi Orang Tua, Suami Istri, dan Kerabat
The family is the primary and fundamental educational environment in shaping individual morality and character. However, various family problems in modern society indicate a decline in moral values within family relationships. Therefore, examining the concept of family ethics from an Islamic perspective is essential to reaffirm normative guidance derived from the Qur’an and Hadith. This study aims to analyze the concept of moral values within the family based on the Qur’an and Hadith, focusing on ethics toward parents, marital relationships, and kinship ties. This research employs a qualitative approach using library research methods. Data were collected from relevant Qur’anic verses, Prophetic traditions, and supporting literature such as Qur’anic exegesis, hadith commentaries, and scholarly works related to Islamic ethics and family studies. Data analysis was conducted using a descriptive-analytical method. The findings reveal that Islamic family ethics emphasize filial piety (birr al-wālidain) as a fundamental obligation with high spiritual significance, marital relations based on mutual rights and responsibilities grounded in the principles of sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah, and kinship relations as an expression of piety through maintaining social ties and mutual care. These findings indicate that the comprehensive implementation of Islamic family ethics plays a vital role in fostering harmonious families and contributing to the development of a moral and civilized society.

K.H. Wahid Hasyim dan Reformasi Kurikulum Pendidikan Islam pada Masa Pergerakan Nasional
The development of the Islamic education curriculum in Indonesia is closely related to the journey of struggle and the thoughts of previous scholars, especially during the national movement era. KH. Abdul Wahid Hasyim is one of the main figures who had a major influence on the development of the Islamic education curriculum in Indonesia. This article is presented to explore more deeply the ideas and concrete steps of KH Wahid Hasyim in reforming the Islamic education curriculum. This is clearly seen through the establishment of Madrasah Nizamiyah, improvements in teaching methods, development of the quality of students, and his role at the national level while serving as Minister of Religious Affairs. This article was written using a literature review method with a qualitative approach and content analysis of various related reference sources. The results of the discussion show that Wahid Hasyim succeeded in breaking down the dividing barrier that had previously separated religious knowledge from general knowledge by K.H. Abduk Wahid Hasyim's way of introducing an education system that combines both in one balanced curriculum. The distinctive feature of K.H. Abdul Wahid Hasyim's thinking is the importance of emphasizing the importance of reflecting that in the effort to democratize education, reject narrow fanatic attitudes, and improve the literacy skills of students. To date, the thinking of K.H. Abdul Wahid Hasyim is still very relevant and can be used as inspiration in developing Islamic education that is open, comprehensive, and able to adapt to current needs.

Menjaga Hati dari FOMO: Living Tasawuf dan Qana’ah Santri Al-Ihya’ 2 dalam Manajemen Media Sosial
The phenomenon of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), which has emerged as a result of social media use, poses a mental and spiritual challenge for the younger generation, including student residents at Islamic boarding schools. The rapid flow of information and the pressure to constantly keep up with others’ activities often lead to anxiety, feelings of inadequacy, and social pressure. This study aims to explore the understanding and practice of qana’ah as a Sufi value in addressing FOMO, identify forms of living Sufism that have developed within the boarding school environment, and analyze the effectiveness of the values of qana’ah and muhasabah in supporting the mental and spiritual well-being of student boarders. This study employs a qualitative field approach using a phenomenological method conducted at the Al-Ihya’ 2 Putri Student Islamic Boarding School. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation of student boarders who actively use social media. The results indicate that qana’ah is understood not merely as a theoretical concept but is internalized as an attitude of contentment, gratitude, and self-control in social media use. The identified practices of living tasawuf include limiting social media usage time, performing daily muhasabah, strengthening religious activities, and fostering collective awareness within the pesantren community. The values of qana’ah and muhasabah have proven effective in reducing the tendency toward FOMO, promoting inner peace, strengthening self-control, and helping students cope with social media pressures in a healthier way. This study confirms that Sufism, particularly the concept of qana’ah, is relevant as a spiritual approach to fostering balanced social media usage among the younger generation

Paradigma Filsafat Islam: Analisis Ontologi, Epistemologi, dan Aksiologi
This research is motivated by the dichotomy between religious and general sciences, which triggers identity crises and moral degradation in the modern era. This phenomenon demands a deep reflection on the philosophical foundations of education to create a more holistic learning system. The primary objective of this study is to analyze the paradigm of Islamic philosophy through an overview of ontology, epistemology, and axiology, and its relevance to the integration of science in education. The method used is qualitative with a literature study approach that examines various literatures related to the philosophy of Islamic education. Research findings indicate that ontologically, Islamic education views reality as a unity of tawhid encompassing both material and spiritual dimensions. Epistemologically, knowledge is acquired through the integration of revelation and reason, while axiologically, education aims to form insan kamil who possesses a balance between intellectual intelligence and moral maturity. The implication of this research is the need for a reconstruction of the Islamic education curriculum that unifies prophetic values with modern science to address global challenges. The harmonization of science is a crucial strategy for producing competitive graduates who remain steadfast in spiritual principles in facing increasingly complex contemporary dynamics.

Rekonstruksi Pemikiran Pragmatisme John Dewey dan Relevansinya dalam Pendidikan Islam Kontemporer
In the context of educational development characterized by technological advancement, dynamic social change, and increasing demands for critical thinking and problem-solving skills, there is a need for learning approaches that are not merely theoretical but also contextual, practical, and experience-based. This study aims to analyze John Dewey’s concept of pragmatism and its relevance to contemporary Islamic education. The research employs a qualitative approach using a library research method. The primary data source is John Dewey’s seminal work Democracy and Education (1916), supported by various scholarly literature on Islamic education. Data were collected through documentation techniques and analyzed using content analysis. The findings reveal that John Dewey’s pragmatism emphasizes experience as the primary foundation of learning through the concepts of instrumentalism, the theory of experience, inquiry logic, progressive education, and democratic and social education, all of which position education as an active, contextual, and problem-solving-oriented process. In the context of Islamic education, these concepts are relevant for strengthening experiential learning, implementing learning by doing, and developing students’ critical and participatory thinking skills. Nevertheless, a fundamental epistemological difference exists, as pragmatism is grounded in empirical experience, whereas Islamic education is based on divine revelation. Therefore, the application of Dewey’s pragmatism in Islamic education should be carried out selectively and critically, treating it primarily as a methodological approach. Thus, John Dewey’s pragmatism can contribute to the development of Islamic education that is more contextual, practical, and responsive to contemporary challenges.

Unauthorized Polygamy and Legal Protection
This study examines the phenomenon of unauthorized polygamy in Indonesia as a reflection of the gap between legal norms and social reality, with particular attention to its implications for women’s legal protection. Although Law No. 1 of 1974 requires court approval and spousal consent, such provisions are frequently bypassed, resulting in legal uncertainty and gender-based disadvantages. This research employs a normative qualitative approach using library research, analyzing statutory regulations, Religious Court decisions, and relevant scholarly literature through conceptual and case approaches. The findings reveal that unauthorized polygamy persists due to socio-cultural, economic, and religious factors, as well as weak law enforcement and inconsistent judicial reasoning. While some Religious Court decisions incorporate substantive justice considerations—such as women’s conditions, children’s welfare, and social impacts—others remain formalistic and procedural, leading to uneven legal protection. From the perspectives of Pancasila and Islamic Sociological Jurisprudence, this condition indicates that the law has not fully functioned as an instrument of social justice and public welfare (maslahah). The study concludes that strengthening women’s legal protection requires an integrated approach combining legal reform, judicial capacity development, and socio-legal awareness. Such efforts are essential to ensure that Islamic family law evolves toward a more equitable, context-sensitive, and justice-oriented system.

Adab Mencari Ilmu dalam Perspektif Al-Qur'an dan Hadis: Analisis Nilai-nilai Akhlak dalam Membentuk Karakter Penuntut Ilmu
The way of asking for knowledge, as shown in the Qur'an and Hadith, is very important for helping students develop good morals. In Islam, learning is not just about gaining information, but also about growing into a person with good values and behaving in a moral way. This research looks into the idea of proper behavior when seeking knowledge, as shown in the Qur'an and Hadith, and how it helps shape a person's character. This study uses a qualitative method, focusing on library research, and looks at interpretations of the Qur'an, Hadith sources, books, and scientific articles about Islamic education and ethics. The results show that being sincere, humble, patient, respectful towards teachers, and using what you learn are the main values that should go along with learning. Combining knowledge with good manners can help form people who are both smart and have strong values. So, teaching proper manners in schools should still be a top focus to raise people who have good values and useful knowledge.

Pembentukan Identitas Religius Siswa Melalui Program Boarding School di SMP IT Nusantara Kembaran: Tinjauan Interaksi Simbolik
This study analyzes the formation of students’ religious identity through the boarding school program at Integrated Islamic Junior High School using George Herbert Mead’s symbolic interactionism. Employing a qualitative case study at IT Nusantara Kembaran Junior High School, Banyumas, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The findings show that religious identity formation occurs through symbolic interaction involving three dialectical stages. First, students interpret religious symbols provided by the boarding school environment, including special uniforms, congregational worship schedules, the use of Ustadz and Santri labels, and daily religious rituals, which shape religious awareness. Second, meaning is negotiated through social interaction among students, supervisors, and the dormitory community, enabling students to take the role of others and understand themselves from social perspectives. Third, religious values are internalized and reflected in concrete behavioral changes, such as increased worship discipline, social responsibility, and peaceful conflict resolution. This research contributes to Islamic education theory by integrating symbolic interactionism and offers practical implications for boarding school managers in designing environments that support students’ religious identity development in structured and meaningful learning contexts.

Deepfake dan Krisis Kejujuran di Era Artificial Intelligence
Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, particularly Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), have given rise to the phenomenon of deepfakes technology capable of authentically manipulating audio-visual reality while producing content that is, in fact, fake. The August 2025 deepfake video involving Finance Minister Sri Mulyani serves as clear evidence of a digital integrity crisis that is eroding public trust in Indonesia. Although technical and regulatory solutions continue to be developed, the moral dimension of this crisis has not been thoroughly examined through the framework of classical Islamic ethics, particularly the thought of Al-Ghazali. This study aims to analyze the moral dilemmas posed by deepfake technology and to examine its relevance to the crisis of truthfulness in the digital age from the perspective of Abu Hamid al-Ghazali’s thought. Using a qualitative method through library research with the primary source being the book Ihya’ Ulum al-Din, this study applies a descriptive-analytical approach to examine the phenomenon of digital manipulation and uncover its ethical dimensions from Al-Ghazali’s perspective. The results indicate that deepfakes constitute a modern form of kadzib that creates a false reality and triggers a crisis of public trust. From Al-Ghazali’s perspective, this phenomenon contradicts the principle of sidq as well as the objectives of maqasid al-shariah. Therefore, the values of sidq, amanah, tabayun, and tazkiyatun nafs serve as an ethical framework in the production, distribution, and consumption of digital information to strengthen technical approaches to maintaining integrity and public trust.

Hakikat Alam Semesta dalam Perspektif Filsafat Pendidikan Islam: Ontologi, Kosmologi, dan Implikasinya bagi Pendidikan
This article examines the nature of the universe (alam semesta) in the perspective of Islamic educational philosophy through a qualitative library research method employing philosophical analysis and Quranic hermeneutics. The study addresses four interrelated questions: the definition of the universe in Islamic thought, the process of its creation as narrated in the Quran, the purposes of creation, and its implications for Islamic education. The findings reveal that the universe in Islam constitutes the totality of existence apart from Allah SWT encompassing both the visible realm (alam syahadah) and the unseen realm (alam ghaib) and functions fundamentally as signs (ayat) testifying to the existence, power, and majesty of the Creator. A comparative analysis of Al-Ghazali and Ibn Sina discloses a fundamental divergence: Ibn Sina viewed the universe as an eternal, necessary emanation from the First Being, while Al-Ghazali affirmed creation ex nihilo through the free divine will, a position aligned with orthodox Islamic theology. The Quranic account of creation exhibits a notable convergence with modern cosmological findings, particularly the Big Bang theory, the nebular hypothesis, and the expanding universe model. The primary purposes of creation are identified as: manifesting divine signs (ayat), providing the arena for human stewardship (khilafah), enabling the acquisition of knowledge ('ilm), and eliciting gratitude (syukr). These philosophical foundations carry transformative implications for Islamic education, demanding an integration of natural sciences with theological reflection, the development of an ecology-based curriculum grounded in tawhidic consciousness, and the cultivation of graduates who embody ecological responsibility as an expression of their faith.

Nilai Ikhlas sebagai Pembentuk Pengendalian Emosi dalam Film Inside Out
This study analyzes the representation of emotions in the animated film Inside Out (2015) through the lens of Islamic Ethics and Mysticism (Akhlak Tasawuf), focusing on the value of sincerity (al-ridha) as a shaping force in the emotional regulation of the main character, Riley. Employing a descriptive qualitative method through documentation technique, the study examines scenes, dialogues, and character expressions reflecting processes of emotional acceptance and management. Data were analyzed using a combined framework drawing from the concept of rida in Sufi ethics and the Process Model of Emotion Regulation, particularly cognitive change and response modulation strategies. Findings indicate that al-ridha functions as an inner stabilizer guiding Riley toward nafs muthmainnah (a tranquil soul), evidenced in key scenes such as Riley's emotional disclosure to her parents and the transformation of her core memories. The concept of itsar (empathy) also emerges as a social dimension of emotional regulation that conventional psychological models tend to overlook. This study contributes an interdisciplinary framework bridging the psychological and spiritual dimensions of film analysis, while addressing a gap in research on animated films from an Islamic perspective.

Analisis Pragmatik dalam Kesantunan Tindak Tutur Tokoh pada Cerpen ‘Thank You, Ma’am’ Karya Langston Hughes
This study analyzes the politeness strategies of characters' speech acts in Langston Hughes' short story "Thank You, Ma'am" using Brown and Levinson's Politeness Theory (1987) integrated with the perspective of Islamic Moral Mysticism (Akhlak Tasawuf). A descriptive qualitative method was employed, with data collected through reading and noting techniques and purposive sampling. The primary data source consists of 15 utterances drawn from dialogues between the two main characters, Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones and Roger, analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2014) model. The findings identify three politeness strategies: positive politeness (53.3%), negative politeness (26.7%), and bald on record (20%), while the off-record strategy was absent. Positive politeness emerged as the dominant strategy, reflecting the characters' efforts to build solidarity and moral transformation. Concurrently, the Akhlak Tasawuf analysis identified three prevailing values—tawadhu' (humility), shiddiq (truthfulness and sincerity), and hifdzul lisan (guarding one's speech)—each correlating with the politeness strategies employed. These findings suggest that linguistic politeness in this short story functions not merely as a pragmatic face-management tool, but also as a representation of ethical and spiritual values that foster behavioral change and the restoration of interpersonal relationships.

Pengaruh Pembelajaran Akidah Akhlak terhadap Karakter Religius Siswa Kelas VII di MTs Tahfidzul Qur'an Darul Falah Al Fatahiyah
The formation of religious character is a central goal of Islamic education, and the Akidah Akhlak subject serves as one of its main vehicles, shaping students who hold firm belief, practice piety, and display good moral conduct. This study examines the extent to which Akidah Akhlak instruction affects the religious character of seventh-grade students at MTs Tahfidzul Qur'an Darul Falah Al Fatahiyah in Palang District, Tuban Regency, a madrasah operating within a pesantren environment. A quantitative, associative design was applied, involving the entire population of 28 seventh-grade students as the research sample through a saturated sampling technique. Data were gathered using Likert-scale questionnaires supported by observation and documentation, then processed through simple linear regression and a t-test in SPSS after the instrument passed validity, reliability, and normality checks. The analysis produced a calculated t-value of 5.284 against a table value of 2.056 at a significance level of 0.000 (p < 0.05), confirming that Akidah Akhlak learning exerts a positive and significant effect on students' religious character. The regression coefficient of 0.731 further indicates a direct relationship between the two variables, while the coefficient of determination (R²) shows that this learning process accounts for 51.8% of the variation in religious character, with the remaining portion shaped by other factors such as family environment and peer influence. The study concludes that strengthening the quality of Akidah Akhlak instruction, supported by teacher exemplary conduct and a consistent religious school culture, remains a strategic pathway for cultivating religious character among students in pesantren-based madrasahs.

The scientific method is an important part of the philosophy of science because it is the basis for obtaining rational, systematic, and accountable knowledge. This research aims to analyze scientific methods from the perspective of the philosophy of science and to examine the philosophical thought processes underlying the research process. The study uses a library research method with a literature review approach. Data are obtained from various scientific articles, books, and relevant academic sources, then analyzed qualitatively through the stages of data identification, classification, synthesis, and interpretation. Although the scientific method has been widely used in research, its understanding is still often limited to procedural and technical aspects. As a result, the philosophical dimensions underlying the research process, such as ontological, epistemological, and axiological aspects, often receive less attention. Philosophical thought processes in research are reflected through the use of logic and inductive, deductive, and abductive reasoning in constructing knowledge. The development of the scientific method is also influenced by Karl Popper's thoughts on falsification and Thomas S. Kuhn's thoughts on paradigm shift, which demonstrate that scientific truth is dynamic and open to criticism. Thus, the scientific method not only functions as a research guideline, but also as a rational, critical, reflective and ethical framework for producing knowledge that is beneficial to human life.

Hermeneutika Fenomenologis Martin Heidegger dan Relevansinya terhadap Interpretasi Realitas Keagamaan dalam Islam Kontemporer
The development of contemporary Islamic religiosity in the modern and digital era has brought significant transformations in the ways Muslims understand, experience, and express their religious life. The dominance of positivistic approaches in religious studies has often reduced the existential, experiential, and spiritual dimensions of religion. This study aims to analyze the relevance of Martin Heidegger’s phenomenological hermeneutics in interpreting the reality of contemporary Islamic religiosity and to explore the possibility of a methodological dialogue between Heideggerian philosophy and ‘irfani epistemology within the Islamic intellectual tradition. This research employs a qualitative library-based method by utilizing Heidegger’s phenomenological hermeneutic framework, particularly the concepts of Dasein, being-in-the-world, thrownness, and fallenness as analytical tools. The findings indicate that contemporary Islamic religiosity should not be understood merely as a normative system, but as an existential experience shaped by historical, social, and digital contexts. Digital transformation has influenced religious authority, encouraged performative forms of religiosity, and contributed to the fragmentation of religious meaning in modern Muslim societies. Furthermore, the study identifies a methodological convergence between Heideggerian hermeneutics and ‘irfani epistemology, especially in the dimension of pre-reflective human experience. This study concludes that phenomenological hermeneutics offers an alternative interpretative framework that is more contextual, reflective, existential, and responsive to the dynamics of digital religiosity in contemporary Islam.

Implikasi Pan-Islamisme Jamaluddin Al-Afghani terhadap Pembaruan Pendidikan Islam
The notion of Pan-Islamism articulated by Jamaluddin al-Afghani in the latter half of the nineteenth century is commonly read as a political response to European colonial expansion into the Muslim world, while its pedagogical dimension remains under-examined. This article analyzes the conceptual implications of al-Afghani's Pan-Islamism for the reform of Islamic education at the philosophical, institutional, and curricular levels. Employing a qualitative library-research method with a historical-analytical approach, this study examines al-Afghani's primary writings and correspondence alongside recent secondary scholarship. The findings indicate that al-Afghani's Pan-Islamism is inseparable from an educational project demanding three fundamental shifts: deconstructing the dichotomy between religious and secular knowledge through the reopening of ijtihad; reorienting educational epistemology from rote-dogmatic learning toward rational-critical reasoning; and cultivating a consciousness of communal solidarity (ukhuwah islamiyah) as the basis for a transnational civic curriculum. These ideas found institutional expression in reformist educational establishments across Egypt, Turkey, India, and the Dutch East Indies. The study also identifies an inherent tension between al-Afghani's rational-modernist orientation and his solidarity rhetoric, which carries a risk of exclusivist misreading. It concludes that the relevance of Pan-Islamism for contemporary Islamic education lies not in the romanticism of political unity but in its ethos of open, critical, and adaptive epistemic reform.

Hubungan Hasil Belajar Akidah Akhlak dengan Kedisiplinan Peserta Didik di Madrasah Diniyah Miftahul Huda
Madrasah diniyah has a distinct role in strengthening religious knowledge and everyday discipline among Muslim learners. This study examines the relationship between Akidah Akhlak learning outcomes and students’ discipline at Madrasah Diniyah Miftahul Huda. A quantitative correlational design was applied to 31 students using total sampling. Akidah Akhlak learning outcomes were calculated from Tauhid and Akhlaq scores, while students’ discipline was proxied by an attendance-based discipline score because the attitude column in the ledger was homogeneous. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, Shapiro-Wilk normality tests, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression. The results show that the mean Akidah Akhlak learning outcome was 76.76 with a standard deviation of 7.92, while the mean discipline score was 94.61 with a standard deviation of 4.08. Both variables were normally distributed. Pearson correlation produced r = -0.083 with Sig. = 0.658, indicating no significant relationship. Regression analysis yielded R Square = 0.007, meaning that learning outcomes explained only 0.7% of the variance in discipline. These findings suggest that discipline in madrasah diniyah is shaped more by habituation, institutional culture, supervision, and family environment than by cognitive achievement alone.

Nilai-Nilai Pendidikan KH. Ahmad Dahlan dalam Menghadapi Tantangan Pembelajaran PAI di Era Society 5.0: Studi Library Research
This study aims to analyze the relevance of KH Ahmad Dahlan's educational values in addressing the challenges of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning in the Society 5.0 era. Employing a library research approach, data were collected from primary and secondary sources, including scientific journals, books, and official documents related to Ahmad Dahlan's educational thought and the concept of Society 5.0. The collected data were analyzed using content analysis and comparative analysis to identify the alignment between Ahmad Dahlan's educational philosophy and contemporary educational demands. The findings reveal that Ahmad Dahlan's educational values, encompassing tajdid (renewal), ijtihad (independent thinking), the integration of religious and general sciences, noble character development, and social service, remain highly relevant to the challenges facing PAI learning in the Society 5.0 era, which is characterized by the convergence of digital technology, artificial intelligence, and the need for 21st-century competencies. These values provide a balanced educational framework that integrates technological advancement with moral and spiritual development. Therefore, this study recommends reconstructing the PAI curriculum based on Dahlanian educational values to create innovative, adaptive, and technology-responsive learning while maintaining the primary goal of developing insan kamil who possess strong religious, intellectual, and social competencies.

Menghargai Perbedaan: Fondasi Toleransi Beragama dalam Perspektif Islam Berdasarkan Al-Qur'an
This study examines the concept of responsibility in maintaining trust (amanah) through the perspectives of Quranic verses and hadiths and explores its relevance to contemporary social, family, and religious issues. In the face of increasingly complex social challenges, the values of responsibility and trustworthiness remain essential ethical foundations for fostering harmonious and accountable communities. This study employed a qualitative approach using a literature review method by analyzing Quranic verses, hadiths, and relevant scholarly references. The analysis focuses on three main themes: parental responsibility in the family based on QS. At-Tahrim verse 6 integrated with the concept of life balance; leadership responsibility in QS. Al-An'am verse 70 associated with anti-corruption leadership; and religious responsibility in QS. An-Nisa verse 36 examined in relation to the phenomenon of Islamophobia. The findings reveal that the Islamic concept of amanah provides a comprehensive normative framework for individual, family, social, and collective responsibilities. The selected hadiths reinforce Quranic teachings by offering practical guidance for ethical behavior and responsible leadership. Furthermore, integrating these teachings with contemporary issues demonstrates that Islamic values remain relevant in addressing modern societal challenges, including governance, family resilience, and interreligious relations. This study concludes that internalizing the values of trust, responsibility, tolerance, and justice can strengthen social harmony, promote ethical leadership, and support peaceful coexistence in Indonesia and other multicultural Muslim societies.

Representasi Tawakal dalam Lagu “Insha Allah” Karya Maher Zain Berdasarkan Perspektif Al-Ghazali
Music is one of the effective media for conveying Islamic values, including the concept of tawakal (trust in Allah). Through song lyrics, religious messages can be delivered to listeners in language that is easy to understand while conveying profound meaning. This study aims to analyze the representation of tawakal in the lyrics of Insha Allah by Maher Zain using a semantic approach based on Al-Ghazali’s perspective. This study employed a qualitative approach using the qualitative content analysis method. The research data consisted of selected song lyric excerpts, which were analyzed based on their lexical and contextual meanings and subsequently classified into the three aspects of tawakal according to Al-Ghazali, namely knowledge ('ilm), spiritual state (hal), and action (amal). The findings indicate that the lyrics of Insha Allah represent tawakal through faith in Allah, the transformation of one's inner state from despair to hope, and the act of returning to Allah through prayer and complete surrender. These findings demonstrate that the song functions not only as a form of entertainment but also as a medium for conveying Islamic spiritual values while enriching semantic studies on Islamic song lyrics.

Analisis Peran Guru Pendidikan Agama Islam untuk Membentuk Kesadaran Sosial Siswa
The study entitled “Analysis of the Role of Islamic Religious Education Teachers in Developing Students’ Social Awareness (A Case Study at YPP Sobang Junior High School)” was motivated by the importance of Islamic Religious Education (Pendidikan Agama Islam / PAI) teachers in fostering students’ social awareness, which does not emerge automatically but must be cultivated through education. This study was based on conditions at YPP Sobang Junior High School, where students still demonstrated low environmental awareness, limited participation in social activities, and suboptimal internalization of religious values. The research questions focused on the role of PAI teachers in developing students’ social awareness, the strategies they employ, and the impact of PAI learning on students’ social attitudes. The objective of this study was to identify the roles, strategies, and impacts of PAI teachers in fostering students’ social awareness. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation involving PAI teachers, the principal, curriculum staff, and students. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that PAI teachers play a significant role in developing students’ social awareness through religious habituation, role modeling, and social activities. The strategies implemented included contextual learning, mutual assistance, and cooperation. The impacts were reflected in increased empathy, social concern, responsibility, and social interaction among students, although challenges remained in terms of student participation and the influence of the external environment outside the school.

Konsep Fithrah: Potensi dan Kualifikasi Perbuatan Manusia
Human beings are regarded as special creations because they are endowed with an innate nature (fitrah), various potentials, and responsibility for their actions. Understanding these three aspects is essential to explain the position of human beings as servants of Allah and as khalifah (vicegerents) on earth. This study aims to examine the concepts of human fitrah, human potential, and the classification of human actions from an Islamic perspective. The study employs a library research method by examining relevant sources, including books, scholarly journals, and other supporting documents. Data were analyzed qualitatively using a deductive approach, beginning with general concepts to draw specific conclusions. The findings indicate that fitrah represents the basic nature of human beings, including an innate tendency to recognize and worship Allah and to accept the values of truth. Human beings are also endowed with various potentials, including intellectual, spiritual, qalb (heart), and physical potentials, which need to be developed in a balanced manner through education and life experiences. In Islam, human actions are classified into five categories: obligatory (wajib), recommended (sunnah), permissible (mubah), discouraged (makruh), and prohibited (haram), which serve as moral guidelines in life. Understanding the concepts of fitrah, human potential, and the classification of actions enables human beings to live responsibly and achieve balance among the spiritual, intellectual, and social dimensions.

Kebijakan dan Tantangan Pendidikan Agama Islam di Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan Non-Islam : Systematic Literature Review
Religious diversity in Indonesia places some Muslim pupils in a minority position when attending non-Islamic schools, including vocational secondary schools run by Christian or Catholic foundations. Although regulations such as the National Education System Act and Minister of Religious Affairs Regulation No. 16 of 2010 guarantee the right of Muslim students to receive religious education in accordance with their beliefs, their implementation on the ground still presents various issues that have not been extensively examined specifically within the context of vocational secondary schools. This study aims to map the policies and challenges surrounding Islamic religious education in non-Islamic vocational secondary schools in Indonesia. The research employed a qualitative approach in the form of a systematic literature review, tracing articles from Sinta-accredited journals via Garuda and Google Scholar published within the last ten years. A synthesis of eleven journal articles revealed that policies on Islamic religious education in non-Islamic schools are underpinned by a fairly robust legal framework; however, their implementation is heavily dependent on the commitment of individual institutions. The challenges identified are multidimensional, encompassing ideological, sociological and cultural issues, as well as limitations regarding teachers and learning resources, whilst studies specifically addressing the context of vocational secondary schools remain very limited. These findings imply the need for policy evaluations that are more responsive to the unique characteristics of the vocational secondary school level, as well as further field research. to gain a deeper and more contextual understanding of this issue.

Pengaruh Pola Mengajar Guru Pendidikan Agama Islam terhadap Pemahaman Keislaman Siswa di SMP Negeri 32 Palembang
This study was conducted to identify the teaching patterns of Islamic Religious Education teachers, examine students' level of understanding, and analyze the influence of Islamic Religious Education teachers' teaching patterns on students' understanding at SMP Negeri 32 Palembang. The study aimed to provide a clear description of the effectiveness of teachers' instructional patterns in improving students' understanding and to serve as a basis for evaluation and improvement of the Islamic Religious Education learning process in schools. This research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. The research instrument was a questionnaire based on a Likert scale consisting of 30 statements, with 15 items measuring the teaching patterns of Islamic Religious Education teachers and 15 items measuring students' understanding. The respondents were 57 students from SMP Negeri 32 Palembang. The collected data were analyzed using a correlation test to determine the relationship between the two research variables. The findings revealed a correlation coefficient of 0.042, indicating that there was no significant relationship between the teaching patterns of Islamic Religious Education teachers and students' understanding of Islamic teachings at SMP Negeri 32 Palembang. These findings suggest that students' understanding of Islam may be influenced by factors other than teachers' instructional patterns.
