The debate concerning the relationship between faith (īmān) and deeds (ʿamal) constitutes one of the central issues in the history of Islamic theology, generating diverse perspectives among theological schools. This study aims to comparatively analyze the epistemology of deeds in three classical Islamic theological traditions: Khawarij, Murji’ah, and Ahlussunnah. The research employs a qualitative approach using the integrative literature review method, examining classical works of ʿilm al-kalām alongside contemporary academic studies. The data were analyzed through data reduction, thematic categorization, and comparative analysis to identify differences in the epistemological frameworks used to understand the relationship between faith and deeds. The findings indicate that the Khawarij developed a textual–legalistic epistemology that considers deeds an essential component of faith, thereby viewing perpetrators of major sins as having exited the state of faith. In contrast, the Murji’ah developed a theological–rational epistemology that separates faith from deeds and postpones judgment regarding major sinners to God’s ultimate decision. Meanwhile, Ahlussunnah formulated an integrative epistemology that combines belief in the heart, verbal affirmation, and deeds within the structure of faith without declaring major sinners as unbelievers. This study highlights that differences in the concept of deeds in Islamic theology are not merely doctrinal but also reflect distinct epistemological frameworks in interpreting religious sources. The findings contribute conceptually to the study of ʿilm al-kalām by offering a comparative mapping of the epistemology of deeds across three major theological traditions in Islam.

This study aims to analyze the fundamental role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in shaping the noble character of students using a qualitative approach through literature review techniques. Data were collected from various scientific sources published between 2020 and 2026 and analyzed using content analysis methods, which included stages of reduction, categorization, and conceptual synthesis. The main focus of this study is to examine how PAI teachers integrate the values of tawhid and worship into the daily behavior of students, so that religious education does not merely remain at the cognitive level but manifests in noble character. The findings indicate that PAI teachers play a strategic role as murabbi, mu’allim, and muaddib, whose success is determined by the integration of pedagogical, professional, social, personality, and spiritual competencies. Amid the dynamic challenges of the digital era, teachers are required to revitalize their roles not only as educators but also as moral exemplars (uswatun hasanah) and agents of character transformation. The synergy between teachers' competencies and consistent exemplification is the key to safeguarding the students' morality and fostering a resilient personality in the school environment.

Social media has become a double-edged sword; acting as a space for religious learning while simultaneously serving as a medium for spreading radicalism. As digital natives, students are vulnerable to extremist narratives if not equipped with adequate cognitive immunity. This study aims to examine the influence of Digital Religious Literacy and Critical Thinking skills on the resilience of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) students in countering radical narratives. Using a quantitative approach with a correlational method, this study involved 30 PAI students selected through random sampling. Data collection instruments used a Likert scale questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that: (1) The level of digital religious literacy and counter-radicalism attitudes of students were in the "very high" category with mean scores of 22.40 and 23.00 respectively; (2) There is a significant positive relationship (Sig. < 0.05) between digital literacy and critical thinking towards the attitude of countering radicalism; and (3) Simultaneously, these two variables contributed 68.2% in forming students' mental resilience in the digital space. These findings imply the need for a reorientation of the PAI curriculum that integrates the strengthening of critical reasoning and digital literacy as a fortress of religious moderation.

Education is an activity that helps people talk about what they already know in order to broaden their understanding of life's fundamentals. The foundations or principles that guide one's life, particularly those derived from religious ideals, are crucial for governing and enhancing the system of life. Based on observations made by the author at Takhassus Al-Qur'an Middle School, it is stated that there is a lack of student focus in learning and students' abilities vary in receiving learning. However, this does not rule out the possibility that students can stimulate learning more quickly. This can be done by training students' thinking through the rote method because the more the brain gets used to it, the more it will be trained and of course it will increase students' intelligence. The level of cognitive intelligence is divided into 3, namely: level of memory and understanding, level of application, level of analysis, evaluation and creativity. By using the rote method so that the level of cognitive development is observed in memory and understanding.Based on the findings of the author's research, the following conclusions can be drawn: 1) The memorization method for teaching PAI at Takhassus Al-Qur'an Middle School is in the good category, the level of cognitive intelligence of Takhassus Al-Qur'an Middle School students is known to be in the good category and level Student memorization based on memorization scores in PAI learning subjects is in the very good category. 2) hypothesis testing based on the t value, the predetermined value of tcount > ttable, namely 2.867 > 1.69389, while based on the significance value of 0.008 < 0.05, it is concluded that the rote method variable (X) has an effect on the cognitive intelligence variable (Y). simple linear regression (11.151 + 0.363 determination is 0.215, which means it has a positive influence of 21.5% and 78.5% is influenced by other factors that are not yet known by researchers. 3) Supporting factors in the memorization method for students' cognitive intelligence at Takhassus Al-Qur'an Middle School, namely using Mr. Abdurrahman al Asy'ari's method which is practiced in the tahfidz class using a special Al-Qur'an, level of perseverance, consistency in training, environment learning, and student concentration during the learning process.
