Developing Magic Word Puzzle Media for the Development of Polite Language in Children Aged 5-6 Years

Imas Fitrasari — 2026-06-29

The ability to use polite language is an important aspect in the social and communication development of early childhood. However, observations at a kindergarten in East Cikarang District indicate that children aged 5–6 years are still not accustomed to using polite expressions such as “please,” “sorry,” “excuse me,” and “thank you” in daily interactions. This study aims to develop the Magic Word Puzzle media as an innovative learning medium to improve the polite language skills of children aged 5–6 years. The study used the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model which includes the stages of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The development process was carried out through media design, validation by material experts and media experts, and trial use of the media in early childhood. The results showed that the Magic Word Puzzle media received a very good rating from material experts and media experts, so it was declared suitable for use in learning. This media is designed interactively through puzzle-assembling activities integrated with the introduction and use of polite expressions in various daily situations. The novelty of this research lies in the development of educational puzzle media specifically focused on stimulating children’s polite language skills. Thus, the Magic Word Puzzle media is declared suitable and has the potential to be effective as an alternative learning media in developing polite language skills in children aged 5-6 years.

The Effectiveness of Principal Supervision in Increasing Elementary School Teachers' Work Motivation

Yenni Yenni — 2026-07-16

Principal supervision is a strategic pillar in building teacher professionalism, but its effectiveness on teacher work motivation in elementary schools in rural areas has received little attention in the educational management literature. From an Islamic perspective, supervision is a manifestation of the values of amanah and muraqabahbthe awareness of carrying out the responsibility of guidance before Allah SWT. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of principal supervision and its relationship to the work motivation of public elementary school teachers in Koto Balingka District, West Pasaman Regency, using a quantitative approach with a descriptive correlational design. The population was 187 teachers from 14 public elementary schools, with a sample of 65 people determined using the Slovin formula and proportional random sampling. Data were collected using a Likert questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability, analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation. The results showed that the effectiveness of supervision was in the fairly good category (mean = 3.12), with the feedback and follow-up dimension as the weakest point (2.91). Teacher work motivation was also quite good (3.27), with intrinsic motivation (3.47) higher than extrinsic motivation (3.06). There is a strong and significant positive relationship between the two variables (r = 0.612; p = 0.000; r² = 37.5%). This finding underscores the importance of strengthening supervisory competencies based on tarbiyah and ihsan values, particularly in areas with limited resources

Offsetting Receivables Against Zakat Obligations: A Study of Imam al-Layth ibn Saʿd's Jurisprudential Reasoning

Ahmad Budiman — 2026-07-07

This study aims to examine Imam al-Layth ibn Saʿd’s legal opinion on the permissibility of treating receivables as zakat and to analyze the jurisprudential foundations underlying his position. The research employs a qualitative library-based method using fiqh and uṣūl al-fiqh approaches through a systematic analysis of classical legal texts, authoritative works documenting al-Layth’s opinions, and contemporary literature on zakat and debt. The findings reveal that Imam al-Layth permits a creditor to discharge zakat obligations by cancelling receivables owed by poor or insolvent debtors, considering such debt forgiveness to effectively realize the objectives of zakat by alleviating the financial burden of eligible beneficiaries. His legal reasoning is primarily based on the principles of maṣlaḥah (public benefit) and the substantive equivalence between debt cancellation and direct zakat distribution, rather than a strict interpretation of tamlīk (transfer of ownership). The study concludes that al-Layth’s opinion represents a purposive approach to Islamic jurisprudence that emphasizes the realization of social justice and the objectives of zakat over formal legal procedures. This research contributes to Islamic legal scholarship by providing a comprehensive analysis of an alternative classical juristic opinion and offering a maqāṣid-based framework for contemporary discussions on zakat administration, debt relief, and Islamic social finance.

The Effect of Liquidity and Solvency Ratios on the Financial Performance of PT Bank Syariah Indonesia, 2023-2025

Puteri Anggi Lubis — 2026-07-09

Financial performance of Islamic banking serves as a crucial indicator in assessing the health and sustainability of financial institutions operating under Islamic principles. This study aims to analyze the effect of liquidity ratio and solvency ratio on the financial performance of PT Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) during the 2023 - 2025 period. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed using secondary data derived from BSI's quarterly financial statements published through the Financial Services Authority (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan/OJK). The sample consisted of 12 observation periods, selected using a saturated sampling technique. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression, accompanied by classical assumption tests (normality, multicollinearity, autocorrelation, and heteroscedasticity). The results indicate that, partially, the liquidity ratio had no significant effect on financial performance (sig. = 0.369 > 0.05), whereas the solvency ratio had a significant effect (sig. = 0.025 < 0.05). Simultaneously, both ratios significantly influenced BSI's financial performance (sig. = 0.044 < 0.05), with an R² value of 50.1%. These findings imply that long-term capital management plays a more dominant role in determining BSI's financial performance compared to short-term liquidity management.

Management of Development and Financing of Preachers by Wahdah Islamiyah Medan

Muhammad Yakub — 2026-08-03

This study aims to analyze the management of da'wah development and financing implemented by Wahdah Islamiyah Medan and identify supporting and inhibiting factors. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with regional administrators and delegated da'wah delegates, observations of development activities, and organizational documentation. Data were analyzed through condensation, presentation, and conclusion drawing, while their validity was tested through triangulation of sources and methods. The results indicate that the effectiveness of Wahdah Islamiyah Medan's da'wah program is supported by the integration of a tiered development system and performance-based financing, where the amount of da'wah incentives is directly linked to the productivity of the development, which is reported periodically. This pattern makes financing not only operational assistance but also an instrument for monitoring and evaluating da'wah performance. However, the sustainability of the program is still overshadowed by limited independent funding, the vast service area, and the digital literacy gap. This study confirms that the effectiveness of an organization's da'wah is highly dependent on the extent to which development and financing are managed as an integrated system, rather than two separate functions.

The Work Program of the Muslimah Islamic Study Council in Improving Religious Knowledge and Practice

Mufidatul Husna Br. Harahap — 2026-06-11

This study aims to analyze the role of the Majelis Taklim Muslimah Dambaan program in improving the religious knowledge and practices of its congregation. The urgency of this research is motivated by the still limited understanding and experience of comprehensive Islamic teachings among the community, especially women, so that directed and sustainable religious guidance is needed. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that regular religious study activities, tabligh akbar (grand religious gatherings), collective dhikr (remembrance of God), and donations to orphans, as well as moral development and social religious activities have contributed positively to improving Islamic understanding and consistency of members' worship practices. In addition, the program encourages increased religious practices, strengthening Islamic brotherhood, and awareness in implementing Islamic values in daily life and the family environment. Based on these findings, it is recommended that this work program continue to be developed in realizing one of its visions, namely to make Serdang Bedagai Regency religious, and continued support from the government and religious leaders to ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of the program

The Effectiveness of QR Fact Learning Based Posters in Journalism Learning to Improve Fact Verification Skills in the Post Truth Era

Khairunisa Hasanah — 2026-07-07

The advancement of digital technology and the widespread use of social media in the post-truth era have blurred the boundaries between fact and opinion, increasing the spread of hoaxes, misinformation, and disinformation. This situation requires journalism students to have critical thinking skills and fact-verification skills. However, learning in higher education is still limited in providing applicable and integrated learning experiences. This study aims to measure the effectiveness of QR-Fact Learning media in improving the fact-verification skills and understanding of students in the Islamic Communication and Broadcasting Study Program (KPI). The study used the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model. Participants consisted of 60 KPI students of UIN North Sumatra who were selected through a purposive sampling technique. The research instrument was a questionnaire whose validity and reliability had been tested, as well as pre-test and post-test. The results of the validity test showed that all instrument items were valid (r count > 0.254), while the reliability test obtained a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.81, which is categorized as reliable. Effectiveness analysis using the N-Gain test resulted in a score of 78%, categorized as effective. The findings indicate that QR-Fact Learning media is able to improve fact-verification skills. This media is worthy of being an innovative learning alternative to strengthen information literacy and face information challenges in the digital era.

Developing Story Card Media to Cultivate Environmental Love in Early Childhood in Kindergarten

Winda Arie Andriyani — 2026-07-09

Instilling a love for the environment from an early age is an important part of character building for children, but its implementation in early childhood education institutions still requires the support of interesting learning media, in accordance with the characteristics of child development, and able to connect environmental messages with meaningful learning experiences. This condition encourages the need to develop media that can facilitate interactive learning so that children can more easily understand and apply environmentally conscious behavior in everyday life. This study aims to develop story card media as a means to foster a love for the environment in early childhood in kindergartens in Cibitung District. The study used the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The subjects were children aged 5–6 years at Rainbow Kids Kindergarten and Husnul Khotimah Kindergarten. The results of expert validation showed a feasibility level of 98.6% for the material aspect and 85.3% for the media aspect, both of which are categorized as very valid. The practicality test by teachers obtained a score of 90% with a very practical category. The effectiveness test results showed an increase in environmental awareness, from 71% in the pre-test to 93% in the post-test. These findings demonstrate that story cards are valid, practical, and effective in fostering environmental awareness in children aged 5–6 years. This medium can also be an alternative for early childhood education teachers in integrating environmental awareness character education through engaging, contextual, and developmentally appropriate learning activities

Text and Understanding of Hadiths on Husband Wife Ethics: A Study of the Book of Jami' al-Tirmizi

Pengabdi Daulay — 2026-07-27

Rising domestic conflict, divorce rates, and domestic violence suggest that Islamic ethical values regarding husband-wife relations remain poorly understood and implemented in society. Academic studies that comprehensively inventory and thematically analyze husband-wife ethics within a single Hadith collection remain limited; prior research tends to address family themes partially and rarely engages with contemporary gender discourse. This study addresses that gap by examining the text and meaning of Hadith on husband-wife ethics in Jami' al-Tirmidhi, situating the findings within contemporary gender debates. The study employs a qualitative method with a library-based approach. Primary data consist of Hadith on husband-wife ethics from Jami' al-Tirmidhi, while secondary data are drawn from syarah (commentary) texts, books, and journal articles. Data were collected through takhrij, documentation, and classification, followed by analysis of sanad, matan, and syarah, validated through source triangulation. Findings show that 15 Hadith can be grouped into five themes: morality toward one's spouse, responsibility for providing and leadership, wives' rights and obligations toward husbands, safeguarding honor, and balancing rights and obligations. These Hadith affirm that the husband-wife relationship in Islam is not hierarchical but a partnership grounded in complementary rights and obligations, open to dialogue with contemporary family and gender discourse.

Integrating Maqasid al-Shariah, Science, and State Regulation: A Multidisciplinary Framework for Muslim Children's Protection in Digital Environments

Vebionita Megi Putri — 2026-06-11

Digital technology expansion presents both opportunities and significant risks for children, particularly regarding exposure to inappropriate content and harmful online interactions. Child protection in digital environments demands a comprehensive approach integrating religious, scientific, and policy dimensions. This study develops a multidisciplinary framework through three converging perspectives: Maqasid al-Shariah as a normative Islamic foundation, empirical findings from neuroscience and communication science on social media's impact on children's cognitive and psychosocial development, and Indonesian national regulations—particularly Permen Komdigi No. 9 of 2026 restricting social media access for children under 16 years. A qualitative design employing integrative literature review and thematic content analysis was adopted. Findings demonstrate that hifdz al-'aql (protection of intellect) and hifdz al-nasl (protection of progeny) are the most operationally relevant Maqasid principles for digital child protection. Scientific evidence consistently confirms negative impacts of excessive screen time on brain development and mental health, while state regulation provides the operational mechanism for enforcement. The integration of Islamic values and scientific evidence substantially strengthens regulatory legitimacy and effectiveness, creating dual normative and empirical foundations for a safe digital ecosystem for Muslim children in Indonesia

Reconstruction of the Concept of Classical Muamalah Fiqh Contracts as a Foundation for Innovation in the Modern Islamic Financial Industry

Kumaidi Kumaidi — 2026-07-06

The rapid development of the Islamic financial industry in the digital era demands a conceptual reconstruction of classical Islamic financial contracts to ensure their relevance as a foundation for innovation in modern Islamic financial products. This study aims to analyze the relevance of classical contracts in contemporary Islamic financial products, identify shifts in contract implementation due to digitalization and fintech sharia, evaluate the suitability of the implementation of contracts with the principles of al-sharī'ah, and formulate a conceptual model for adaptive contract innovation that is still based on muamalah jurisprudence. The method used is qualitative with a qualitative approach. Library research, using content analysis techniques, comparative analysis, and normative interpretation based oninyesūl al-fiqh. The results of the study show that classical contracts such asjamḥah, inḍārabah, musyārakah, pilgrimage, wait, regards, and hotyesthehas sufficient normative elasticity to accommodate digital financial innovation, but their implementation still experiences many distortions that are contrary to the substancepoetyesid al-sharī'ahThis research formulates a conceptual model of contract innovation based on four pillars: adaptive normative reinterpretation, integration of Sharia-based technology, reconstruction of equitable risk distribution, and strengthening of Sharia governance. This model offers a framework that can synergistically and sustainably bridge the authority of classical Islamic jurisprudence texts with the pragmatic demands of the modern Islamic financial industry

Strategy for Cultivating Independence Through the Essential Method of Habitual Behavior in Early Childhood

Anissa Oktaviani — 2026-07-07

This study aims to examine the strategy of cultivating independence in children aged 5–6 years through the Essential Behavioral Habituation Method at Rainbow Kids Kindergarten, Cibitung District, Bekasi Regency, West Java. The novelty of this study lies in the use of the Essential Behavioral Habituation Method concept which emphasizes the internalization of the value of independence through consistent, structured, and continuous habituation in various children's daily activities. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques. The results showed that the cultivation of independence was carried out through four forms of habituation, namely routine habituation, spontaneous habituation, role models, and programmed habituation. The implementation of this method encourages the development of children's abilities in self-care, obeying rules, making simple decisions, and being responsible for daily tasks and activities. Supporting factors for success include teacher consistency and a conducive school environment, while the main obstacles come from differences in family parenting patterns and a lack of continuity in habituation at home. Research findings show that the Essential Behavioral Habituation Method is effective as a strategy to strengthen the independence of early childhood through a gradual and continuous process of forming behavior

From Monitoring to Mentoring: Transforming Technology Enhanced Academic Supervision for Teachers' Professional Development in Madrasahs

Eci Sriwahyuni — 2026-07-28

Research on academic supervision has been dominated by conventional approaches oriented toward administrative oversight, while studies on the integration of technology into academic supervision as a means of teacher professional development are still limited, particularly in madrasah environments. This study aims to examine the transformation of technology-based academic supervision at MTsN 17 Tanah Datar in supporting teacher professional development. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study design. Participants included the madrasah principal, the deputy principal for curriculum, and teachers selected based on their involvement in implementing academic supervision. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, with data validity guaranteed through triangulation of sources and methods. The results show that academic supervision develops through five stages, from conventional classroom supervision, evaluation of supervision effectiveness, non-intrusive supervision based on CCTV, reflective supervision based on learning videos, to the use of supervision results as the basis for teacher professional development programs. This transformation encourages a culture of reflection, collaboration, and constructive feedback. This study is limited to a single location, so its generalizability needs to be further tested through quantitative or multi-site research in other madrasah contexts

Problems of Preaching in Preventing Debt Behavior to Loan Sharks: Analysis of Challenges and Opportunities

M. Fiqri Alwan Dzaki — 2026-06-11

This study aims to analyze the problems of da'wah in dealing with debt to loan sharks in Tumpatan Village, Beringin District. This phenomenon shows that although the practice of usury is prohibited in Islamic teachings, some people still use the services of loan sharks to meet urgent economic needs. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study type to understand the dynamics of da'wah in the social context of society. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving religious leaders, mosque administrators, and the local community. The results show that the problems of da'wah in dealing with debt to loan sharks are related to three main elements of da'wah: mad'u, da'wah methods, and da'wah materials. Community participation in religious study activities is still low with an attendance rate of around five percent of the total community. Furthermore, the da'wah methods used are still normative and mostly use lectures without a solution-oriented approach to the community's economic problems. Da'wah materials also focus more on ritual worship and rarely discuss muamalah issues such as the prohibition of usury. These findings contribute to the development of Islamic da'wah and communication studies by showing the relationship between da'wah activities, the socio-economic conditions of the community, and the practice of loan sharks in the context of rural communities.

The Implementation of Zakat in the Economic Empowerment of the Muslim Community through BAZNAS

Miko Ananda Daulay — 2026-07-13

This study aims to analyze how zakat is implemented as an instrument for the economic empowerment of Muslims through the BAZNAS of North Sumatra Province. It also explores the extent to which productive zakat contributes to improving the standard of living of beneficiaries, and maps the obstacles faced by beneficiaries when developing their productive businesses. This research is motivated by the persistently high level of poverty, which requires sustainable economic empowerment efforts. From an Islamic economic perspective, zakat plays a strategic role as an instrument for distribution and economic empowerment when managed productively. The study used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation at BAZNAS of North Sumatra Province. The research findings show that the distribution of productive zakat by BAZNAS North Sumatra has a positive impact on the welfare of beneficiaries, particularly through assistance with business capital, mentoring, and business equipment support. This assistance has been proven to encourage business development, increase income, and help meet the educational and economic needs of beneficiary households. However, several obstacles remain, including limited marketing reach, intense business competition, and rising production costs that have the potential to disrupt the continuity of beneficiary businesses. Therefore, strengthening mentoring, expanding market access, and developing business networks are necessary to increase the effectiveness of productive zakat programs in a sustainable manner.

Implementation of Deep Learning Through the Integration of Digital Interactive Boards

Adelia Putri — 2026-07-06

This study examines the implementation of deep learning through the integration of digital interactive boards at TKIT Husnul Khotimah, Cikarang District, West Java. The use of interactive screen-based technology in early childhood education institutions is growing in line with the demands of the digital era, which encourages more innovative, interactive, and child-centered learning. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the principal, class teachers, and students aged 4–6 years in the 2025/2026 academic year. The results showed that the implementation of digital interactive boards had a positive impact on the quality of the learning process. This media was able to create more interesting, interactive, and child-centered learning through the use of visual materials, audio, educational videos, and various interactive activities directly on the screen. Students showed increased attention, learning motivation, active participation, creativity, and conceptual understanding. In addition, teachers were helped in delivering material more effectively and variedly. Although there are still obstacles in the form of limited mastery of technology by some teachers and less than optimal use of device features, overall, the implementation of digital interactive boards has proven effective in supporting in-depth learning and improving the quality of early childhood education

Nahdlatul Ulama's Preaching Management in Strengthening Religious Moderation in Society

Nur Permai Pertiwi — 2026-08-01

This study aims to determine Nahdlatul Ulama's da'wah management in strengthening religious moderation in the Tanjung Pura District, Langkat Regency. The method used is qualitative research with a descriptive approach through observation, interviews, and documentation.The informants numbered 6 people, consisting of 1 administrator of the NU MWC Tanjung Pura District, 2 administrators of NU branches, 1 religious figure, and 2 community members involved in da'wah activities.The research results show that NU's da'wah management in Tanjung Pura District encompasses planning, organizing, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating functions, all systematically implemented. The da'wah program includes regular religious studies, socio-religious activities, and community development based on the values of Ahlussunnah wal Jamaah. These efforts contribute to instilling attitudes of tolerance, tawassuth (religious tolerance), tawazun (religious tolerance), and i'tidal (compassionate adherence) within the community. The findings of this study are expected to serve as a reference for religious organizations in developing da'wah management that supports the strengthening of religious moderation and the creation of a harmonious community life.

Risk Management, Sharia Compliance, and the Performance of Islamic Insurance Companies in Indonesia

Adelia Putri Harahap — 2026-06-30

This study examines the effect of Risk-Based Capital (RBC) on the profitability of Sharia insurance companies in Indonesia and provides descriptive evidence on institutional Sharia compliance through the existence of the Sharia Supervisory Board (Dewan Pengawas Syariah/DPS). The study uses secondary data from the financial statements and public reports of Sharia insurance companies for the 2020-2024 period, producing 30 firm-year observations. Profitability is proxied by Return on Assets (ROA), risk management is proxied by RBC, and Sharia compliance is observed descriptively through DPS existence. Because all observations have a DPS value of 1, the Sharia compliance variable has no statistical variation and therefore cannot be included in the regression model. The analysis uses descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, and a log-linear regression model. The descriptive results show that RBC ranges from 120.00 to 671.23, with an average value of 236.35, while ROA averages 0.020763 or approximately 2.07%. The regression results show that LN_RBC has a negative but statistically insignificant coefficient on LN_ROA (coefficient = -0.739; t = -1.484; p = 0.149). The coefficient of determination is 0.073, indicating that RBC explains only 7.3% of the variation in ROA. These findings suggest that solvency-oriented capital adequacy does not automatically translate into higher short-term profitability. The profitability of Sharia insurance companies is more likely to be shaped by underwriting quality, claim ratio, expense ratio, investment return, firm size, leverage, and operational efficiency. The study contributes by clarifying the empirical limitation of using a binary DPS variable as a Sharia compliance proxy and recommends that future studies construct a more comprehensive Sharia compliance index.

Rahmah El Yunusiyah and the Transformation of Muslim Women's Education in Indonesia

Syahruddin Syahruddin — 2026-07-18

This study analyzes the educational thinking of Rahmah El Yunusiyah and her contribution to the transformation of Muslim women's education in Indonesia. Against the backdrop of limited access to education for Muslim women in the early 20th century due to patriarchal social and cultural constructs, Rahmah El Yunusiyah founded Diniyyah Puteri in 1923. She introduced an Islamic educational model that integrated religious knowledge, general knowledge, character building, and life skills, making her a significant pioneer. This study uses library methods with a historical and descriptive-critical approach. The findings show that Rahmah's thinking, shaped by the Minangkabau context, the Islamic renewal movement, and personal experience, focuses on women's empowerment through holistic and integrative education. Its implementation in Diniyyah Puteri includes a comprehensive curriculum, emphasizing character education, independence, and women's leadership. Rahmah's thinking has proven to be relevant both historically and contemporary, aligning with the challenges of the digital era, Society 5.0, and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in realizing gender equality and sustainable development. Her intellectual legacy provides a crucial reference for the development of inclusive and progressive Islamic education.

Implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal Program to Help the Economy of the Community in Bintang Bayu District, Serdang Bedagai Regency

Khoirun Nisah Rangkuti — 2026-06-29

This study aims to examine the implementation of the free nutritious food program, evaluate the economic situation of residents, and analyze improvements in social welfare in the Bintang Bayu District. The approach adopted was qualitative with a descriptive research design. Data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation studies were then processed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing.

Research indicates that initiatives to provide free nutritious food have a positive impact on reducing household expenses, improving access to adequate nutrition, and stimulating the local economy by engaging farmers and micro-entrepreneurs. Furthermore, these initiatives contribute to improving human resource capabilities, which in turn impacts the community's economic competitiveness. Therefore, it is crucial to strengthen collaboration, enhance human resource capabilities, and implement efficient monitoring mechanisms to optimize the sustainable success of these initiatives. Providing free nutritious food not only provides economic benefits but also makes a significant contribution to improving the social well-being of the community.

Risky Play as an Educational Tool to Enhance Safety Awareness in Early Childhood

Sakinah Siregar — 2026-07-07

Play is a highly important activity for children's growth and development, contributing to nearly every aspect of development physical-motor, language, cognitive, socio-emotional, and religious values. This study explores the benefits of risky play in safety knowledge education for early childhood, drawing on Piaget's cognitive development theory, Vygotsky's zone of proximal development, and Bandura's social learning theory. Using a qualitative case study approach, the findings show that risky play such as climbing, jumping from heights, and playing in open areas with minimal supervision enhances children's understanding of their own capability limits and potential hazards in their surrounding environment. Through these experiences, children demonstrated an improved ability to independently assess risk (for example, judging a safe height for climbing or a safe speed for running), initiative in protecting themselves and alerting peers during risky situations, and the ability to transfer this safety knowledge to everyday contexts beyond play. Social interaction among children and the presence of positive role models both adults and peers further supported the internalization of this safety knowledge, indicating that risky play contributes not only to cognitive development but also to the formation of more autonomous safety behavior in early childhood.

Reconstructing the Paradigm of Religious Moderation Based on Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah and National Education Policy: A Juridical Pedagogical Analysis Towards Inclusive Education in Indonesia

Maltifal Maltifal — 2026-07-18

Religious moderation has become a strategic agenda in Indonesia's educational development, serving as a response to rising social polarization, intolerance, religious extremism, and the challenges of diversity in the digital age. This study aims to reconstruct the paradigm of religious moderation by integrating maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah (the objectives of Islamic law) with national education policy from a juridico-pedagogical perspective, employing a qualitative approach based on a literature review. Data were gathered from contemporary Islamic legal literature, religious moderation policy documents, national education regulations, and studies on Islamic education and multiculturalism; these were analyzed using content analysis, comparative analysis, and conceptual synthesis. The research findings indicate that the fundamental values of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah namely the preservation of religion (ḥifẓ al-dīn), life (ḥifẓ al-nafs), intellect (ḥifẓ al-‘aql), lineage (ḥifẓ al-nasl), and property (ḥifẓ al-māl) align with the goals of the national education system as outlined in Law Number 20 of 2003. The study proposes a new conceptual framework the Integrative Religious Moderation Paradigm which synergizes maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah principles, national values, character education, and inclusive education to address the challenges of a 21st-century multicultural society. These findings offer a theoretical contribution to the study of religious moderation and a practical contribution to the formulation of education policies that foster a more inclusive, tolerant, and civilized society in Indonesia

The Manners of Reading the Qur'an from the Perspective of the Book of At-Tibyan: A Study on Participants in Talaqqi Classes

Nur Madiah Harahap — 2026-07-30

This study aims to analyze the application of the etiquette of reading the Qur'an based on the Book At-Tibyan fi Adabi Hamalatil Qur'an in talaqqi class participants. A qualitative approach was used with a field study design, involving 15 participants selected purposively. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation, then analyzed thematically and validated through technical triangulation. The results show that technical-verbal etiquette, such as reading and listening in groups, raising the voice for correction, maintaining tajweed, and responding to greetings, have been consistently applied by all participants. In contrast, spiritual-social etiquette, including maintaining the quietness of the assembly, waiting for teacher corrections, responding to the call to prayer, and performing tilawah prostration, have not been consistently applied. These findings reveal a gap between mastery of technical aspects and appreciation of spiritual aspects in the application of etiquette of reading the Qur'an, which indicates that the talaqqi method is effective in improving reading competence but has not fully formed a holistic attitude of reverence towards the Qur'an. This study emphasizes the need for explicit and gradual integration of spiritual etiquette learning into the talaqqi curriculum to balance the technical and spiritual achievements of participants

The Concept of Pre-Marriage Guidance in Creating a Sakinah Mawaddah Rahmah Family

Ahmad Fikram Harahap — 2026-06-11

This study aims to analyze the role of premarital counseling in preparing prospective brides and grooms to understand the goals of family, rights and obligations in marriage, and to achieve a sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah family. The study used a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. The research informants numbered 5 people consisting of religious instructors, representatives of the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA), and couples who had participated in the premarital counseling program. The results of the study indicate that premarital counseling has a significant role in increasing couples' understanding of rights and obligations in the household, healthy communication, conflict management, and spiritual values in fostering a family. This guidance also helps reduce divorce rates and strengthen family resilience. Thus, premarital counseling is an important instrument in realizing a sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah family in the region[vp1]. The contribution of this study lies in presenting empirical evidence regarding the implementation of premarital counseling in the context of local Muslim communities in Indonesia. Research findings show that premarital guidance not only functions as preparation before marriage, but also as an effort to strengthen family resilience and form a sakinah, mawaddah, wa rahmah family

Equality and Human Dignity in Islamic Education: Responding to the Stigma of Disability

Nazaruddin — 2026-07-10

Stigma and discriminatory treatment of people with disabilities still frequently occur in educational settings, ranging from negative labeling, exclusion from learning activities, to low expectations of their abilities, thus hindering their access to and participation in the educational process. This phenomenon demonstrates the gap between the principle of human equality and the reality of discriminatory educational practices. This study aims to examine the concept of equality and human dignity from an Islamic educational perspective as a basis for responding to this stigma. The research used a qualitative approach with a library research method, examining primary and secondary sources related to the concept of humanity in Islamic education. The results of the study indicate that the concepts of karamah al-insan (human nobility), khalifah (human position as a trustee), and taqwa (parameters of nobility before God) can be synthesized into an ethical framework that affirms that physical or psychological differences do not make someone inferior, because human status is determined solely by piety, not physical condition or social background. This framework serves as a basis for Islamic education to eliminate stigma and build inclusive educational practices. This study concludes that Islamic education needs to reaffirm the principles of equality and human dignity as an ethical foundation for building an inclusive society for groups with disabilities.

Reason in the Qur'an and the Brain in Neuroscience: An Epistemological Reconciliation for Modern Islamic Education

This study examines the epistemological reconciliation between the concepts of reason in the Qur'an and the brain in modern neuroscience to develop a paradigm for contemporary Islamic education. As neuroscience increasingly illuminates the biological foundations of cognition, the challenge lies in integrating these findings with the Islamic understanding of reason as the primary instrument of human understanding. This study identifies reason in the Qur'an as a transcendental epistemological faculty that unites cognitive, moral, and spiritual dimensions, aiming at wisdom and God-consciousness, rather than merely a biological function. In contrast, neuroscience views the brain as the biological substrate of cognition through complex neural networks, with neuroplasticity emphasizing the brain's adaptive capacity. The comparative analysis reveals common functional roles in thinking, reflection, and decision-making, while highlighting key epistemological differences: neuroscience explains how cognition occurs, while the Qur'an explains why cognition exists and its ultimate purpose. This study proposes a Qur'anic Neuroepistemology Framework (QNF), which integrates revelation, reason, and the brain to promote holistic Islamic education that develops intellectual, moral, emotional, and spiritual intelligence while bridging the gap between religious knowledge and modern science

Analysis of the Level of Awareness and Implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in MSMEs in Supporting Economic Growth

Hikmah Indri Yani Harahap — 2026-07-27

MSMEs play a vital role in the Indonesian economy, yet their awareness and implementation of the SDGs remain poorly understood. This study emphasizes the importance of understanding and implementing the SDGs to enhance sustainable economic progress for micro-enterprises. The method used was a qualitative case study, designed to gain in-depth insight into the real-world situations faced by micro-enterprises. Information was collected through semi-structured discussions with MSME stakeholders and relevant individuals. The findings indicate that understanding and implementation of the SDGs among micro-enterprises are suboptimal and still face various obstacles, influenced by a lack of knowledge, limited access to information, and a lack of resources. However, the implementation of SDG principles promises to improve business performance, enhance competitiveness, and facilitate economic growth for MSMEs if supported by education, mentoring, and the integration of sustainability principles into business management

Thus, the Mediastory book is suitable for use as a social-emotional learning medium for early childhood.

Ustadz Ridho Febri’s Rhetoric On The Podcast ‘Responding to Tests and Problems’ on Sonny Aby Kim’s Youtube Channel From the Perspective of Aristotle’s Rhetoric

Fauzul Azmi Daulay — 2026-07-24

The development of digital media has made podcasts an increasingly popular medium for delivering Islamic preaching messages because they are communicative and easily accessible. However, studies examining Islamic preaching rhetoric based on Aristotle’s rhetorical theory in podcast media remain limited. This study aims to analyze the use of Aristotle’s three rhetorical elements ethos, pathos, and logos by Ustadz Ridho Febri in the podcast “Menyikapi Ujian dan Masalah” on Sonny Aby Kim’s YouTube channel. This study employed a qualitative Grounded Theory approach. Data were collected through observation and documentation of the podcast content and analyzed using Strauss and Corbin’s coding procedures, namely open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. The findings reveal that ethos is reflected in the speaker’s credibility and experience in conveying Islamic messages, pathos is demonstrated through his ability to build empathy and emotional connection with the audience, and logos is shown in the logical and systematic presentation of arguments related to life’s challenges. The integration of these three rhetorical elements creates persuasive and effective Islamic preaching that strengthens audience engagement and understanding. The novelty of this study lies in highlighting the integrated use of ethos, pathos, and logos in podcast-based Islamic preaching within contemporary digital media.

Saskia Fayza Paramita — 2026-06-11

Decision-making ability is an important aspect that needs to be developed from an early age because it plays a role in the formation of independence, responsibility, and self-confidence in children. This study aims to describe the application of the Choice Learning method in developing decision-making abilities in early childhood at Rainbow Kids Kindergarten. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with the principal, class teachers, and children in group B as subjects. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the Choice Learning method was implemented by providing freedom to choose learning activities, opportunities to try new things, and habituating responsibility for the choices made. This approach has a positive impact on children's decision-making abilities, as seen from the increased courage to choose, self-confidence, independence, and responsibility in completing activities. Thus, Choice Learning effectively supports the development of decision-making abilities and the social-emotional development of early childhood.

Hadith on Career Women: A Study of Takhrij, Contextual Explanation, and Maqashid Sharia

Sukriah Sihombing — 2026-07-16

This study examines the Prophet's hadiths on career women through an integrated approach: hadith authentication (takhrij), contextual interpretation (syarah), and the objectives of Islamic law (maqashid syariah). The background of this study is the tension between the textual understanding of hadith on the role of women and the increasing participation of Muslim women in professional careers. Previous studies have examined this issue separately from the perspective of Islamic law, psychological-sociological, or exegesis, without integrating these three methods of hadith science. Using a qualitative, literature-based design, this study analyzes seven thematic hadiths from Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, and Sunan Ibn Majah, supported by scientific literature from 2019–2024. The findings show: (1) hadiths on permission to leave the house, congregational prayer, and economic activities including the narration of Zainab bint Jahsy RA who was praised by the Prophet for working as a tanner have a valid chain of narration and allow and even praise women's participation in the public sphere; (2) contextual analysis through the principle of reconciliation (al-jam'u wa al-tawfiq) broadens the scope of interpretation for Muslim career women; (3) maqashid analysis proves that career activities support the five main objectives of sharia (al-daruriyyat al-khams). The novelty of this research lies in the integration of the three methods, which has never been done before

Innovation Program of the Indonesian Mosque Youth Communication Agency in Increasing the Participation of Mosque Youth

Qowigun Maajid — 2026-06-11

This study aims to analyze the program innovations implemented by the Indonesian Mosque Youth Communication Agency (BKPRMI) to attract youth to participate in mosque activities in Medan Denai District. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Research informants consisted of BKPRMI administrators at the sub-district level and youth mosque administrators. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and systematic conclusion drawing. The results show that BKPRMI innovates through more participatory coaching, the use of digital media, the development of creative and productive activities, and the organization of social and sports activities. These innovations have been proven to increase youth involvement in various mosque activities, although there are still obstacles such as low motivation for some youth, the influence of digital media, time constraints, and limited organizational resources. This study concludes that adaptive, participatory programs that are in accordance with the characteristics of the younger generation can increase youth participation in mosques. These findings contribute to the development of studies on da'wah, Islamic communication, and youth education, particularly regarding innovation strategies for youth mosque organizations in the digital era.

Intan Safitri — 2026-07-13

This study aims to analyze Ustadz Felix Siauw's rhetoric on YouTube in response to the demonstrations and looting in August 2025. This research is important because the rhetoric of religious figures on social media plays a role in shaping public opinion on socio-political issues. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with an analysis of Aristotelian rhetoric, which includes ethos, pathos, and logos. Data were obtained through documentation and observation of two YouTube videos featuring Felix Siauw discussing the issues of demonstrations and looting. The results show that the element of logos is prominent through the delivery of rational arguments, cause-and-effect relationships, and an emphasis on moral principles. The elements of ethos and pathos remain present as supporting elements in building credibility and emotional engagement with the audience. These findings indicate that Felix Siauw's rhetorical strategies not only influence the audience's rational understanding of social phenomena but also build trust and emotional engagement with the message. This research contributes to the development of digital communication studies, particularly regarding the application of Aristotle's rhetoric in analyzing the communication strategies of religious figures on social media in responding to social issues
