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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Providing free nutritious food not only provides economic benefits but also makes a significant contribution to improving the social well-being of the community.

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.

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

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
