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.

Customer satisfaction is a central issue in marketing management, as it plays a crucial role in determining customer loyalty amid increasingly intense business competition. A comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing customer satisfaction is essential not only for academics in strengthening marketing theory but also for practitioners in designing effective service and product strategies. This article aims to address two research questions: (1) what are the dominant factors influencing customer satisfaction, and (2) how does customer satisfaction relate to customer loyalty? The study employed a qualitative literature review method. The data consisted of scientific articles published between 2020 and 2025, accessed through Google Scholar and Publish or Perish (PoP) using the keyword “customer satisfaction.” From an initial selection of 30 articles, 27 were identified as relevant, and 5 core articles were further analyzed. The findings reveal three main themes: product and service quality as the dominant determinants of customer satisfaction; price, brand image, and promotion as supporting factors; and customer trust as an important mediating variable in building loyalty. This study concludes that customer satisfaction serves as a strategic link between service quality and customer loyalty. Future research is encouraged to explore the roles of digitalization, customer experience, and sustainability in shaping long-term customer satisfaction.

Customer satisfaction and loyalty are central issues in marketing management, as both play crucial roles in ensuring business sustainability amid increasing competition. Satisfied customers tend to make repeat purchases, provide positive recommendations, and build long-term relationships with the company. Therefore, understanding the factors that influence customer satisfaction and loyalty has become an important agenda for both academics and practitioners. This study aims to address two main questions: (1) What factors influence customer satisfaction? and (2) How does satisfaction contribute to the formation of customer loyalty? The method used is a literature review, selecting articles from various online databases such as ResearchGate, Academia, and open-access journals using the keywords customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. Of the 45 identified articles, 20 were selected for in-depth analysis. The review results reveal three main trends: first, service and product quality are the most consistent determinants of satisfaction; second, price, promotion, and brand image play significant roles; and third, customer trust is an essential variable that strengthens the satisfaction–loyalty relationship. Overall, satisfaction functions as the main mediating variable in the formation of customer loyalty.

This study examines the influence of Islamic education policy on the development of students' religious character at MAS Laboratory IAIN SU Medan. The background of this study lies in the importance of Islamic educational institutions in shaping not only students' intellectual capacity but also their spiritual and moral identity. The study also examines how educational policies relate to curriculum, learning processes, institutional culture, and teacher roles contr To get data from teachers, students, and school administrators, a qualitative descriptive approach was used, which included observations, interviews, and documentation. The results show that students' development of religious character is significantly impacted by the adoption of Islamic education policies. Key elements that support students' faith, self-discipline, and moral principles include teacher modeling, consistent religious practices in school activities, and integrated learning between religious and general courses.

This study aims to explain the management of Full Day School in shaping the character of students at SD IT Nurul Fikri Sidoarjo. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results show that Full Day School management is implemented through three main stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. In the planning stage, the school formulates visions, missions, and goals focused on developing students' character values. Organization is carried out by clearly assigning duties and authorities to the principal, teachers, and educational staff so that each party can perform their roles in a directed and coordinated manner. Implementation involves integrating character values into learning activities, religious practices, extracurricular programs, and teacher role modeling. Evaluation is conducted regularly through work meetings to review achievements and identify challenges. Supporting programs for character development include habituation of worship such as congregational prayers and tahfidz, social activities, extracurricular programs, and Character Building Life Skills (CBLS), which instill values of independence, leadership, and responsibility. These activities are designed not only to support students’ daily routines but also to instill moral values applicable in daily life. The active role of teachers, staff, and the school environment significantly contributes to the program’s effectiveness, creating an educational system that balances academic aspects with consistent character development.

This study aims to identify and analyze forms of gender bias found in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) textbooks at the Senior High School (SMA) level. Using a qualitative approach with content analysis methods, grounded in a critical paradigm and gender perspective, this research found that gender representation in several teaching materials remains unequal. Gender bias in the textbooks is manifested through narratives that position men as dominant in the public sphere, while women are confined to domestic roles. The analyzed materials include topics such as pilgrimage requirements, covering the body and dressing, visiting graves, marriage guardians and witnesses, and family leadership. In these narratives, women are often portrayed as weak, in need of protection, or limited in their roles. This indicates that PAI textbooks continue to reproduce patriarchal values that may reinforce gender-based social inequalities in educational settings. The study recommends that teaching materials be revised to be more inclusive and aligned with gender equality principles as mandated by national education regulations. Thus, education can serve as a fair and equitable instrument for all students, regardless of gender. 

His research discusses the influence of wives in earning a living on family welfare, where this research was made based on observations regarding wives who work to earn a living, who are the backbone of the family in order to meet all the needs of their respective households. The majority of the labor force for women always increases every year. Because of the big role that women play as housewives, most of them play a big role in the welfare of their families, from paying for housing, education and even food. The role of the husband as head of the household and the wife as a housewife must go hand in hand. The husband as head of the family is responsible for earning a living for the welfare of the family. On the other hand, as a housewife, the wife must have creativity in managing the family economy. And what needs to be understood is that in the household each husband and wife have their own roles. So that general conclusions can be drawn, namely: a. The husband is obliged to provide his wife with shelter and other support. b.  The wife must follow her husband and live at her husband's place.  The amount of maintenance obligations depends on the husband's discretion.  So providing maintenance is based on the husband's ability, not the wife's request. Families are formed through the marriage process. Marriage is a pattern of behavior created by God for regeneration in the development of human life in a world that is always dynamic in accordance with the times. With marriage, a life together in the household is formed. The journey of a household is like an ark that sails across the vast ocean and goes through a long journey where winds and storms will definitely come which will become obstacles on the journey.Recently, the reality is that many households find it difficult to realize the goal of marriage. Many households are unhappy due to various problems such as disharmony, economics, infidelity and so on. It is often found in household life that husband and wife complain and complain to other people or to their family, as a result of not fulfilling the rights that must be obtained or not carrying out obligations from one of the parties. Lack of understanding and even ignorance of husband and wife regarding the rights and obligations in the household is often be the cause of disharmony and rifts in the household. In order to achieve a good household, individuals in the household should know each other, understand and carry out their respective rights and obligations.

Learning media has three roles, namely as a communicative role, an attention grabber (purposeful role), and a memory/storage role (recording role). (2008) Maheasy et al. The role of more than educational communication is a medium for spreading messages in the process related to learning, increasing student attention or conveying messages that want to be conveyed in each subject. Before the learning process, teachers can create a learning atmosphere to be extraordinary by using teaching materials creatively, innovatively and diversely, such as learning occurs by optimizing the process and as a form of learning success. Another thing in carrying out their duties as educators, teachers must base their steps on religious teachings, as the word of Allah SWT. in Surah An-Nahl verse 44 "that the Qur'an is sent down for you to explain to humans what has been revealed to them and for them to reflect on it".  

Measurement, assessment and evaluation themselves have similarities, but in essence measurement, assessment and evaluation are quite different in terms of their application. In this article, we discuss the nature of evaluation (meaning measurement, assessment, evaluation; function & purpose of assessment, characteristics of educational assessment). The approach used is through a literature review, by collecting data from various scientific sources such as journals, scientific articles, books and other relevant information related to the topic. The data obtained was then analyzed qualitatively, and the results of the analysis were presented systematically and objectively by the author. It is concluded that measurement, assessment and evaluation have their respective roles in the world of education and are mutually binding, such as measurement in the world of education can be carried out with various tests which will later produce grades. From this score, the teacher will pay attention to whether the student should get additional help or not. And this is an evaluation in education.    

Another term for "character education" can be expressed as "Moral Formation" or "Ethical Guidance." This refers to the effort to develop and shape attitudes, moral values, and ethics in students through knowledge and guidance from various parties such as parents, teachers, and the community. The crucial roles of parents, teachers, and the community in shaping a child's character cannot be overlooked. Each child possesses inherent goodness that needs to be nurtured and socialized effectively to ensure optimal character development. In this digital age, especially among high school student, the use of digital media is prevalent. Educators, parents, and responsible adults in the community have the responsibility to guide and monitor children's use of digital media. While the digital era brings positive impacts, the existence of negative effects demands special attention. Therefore, efforts are required to ensure that children can use digital media wisely, allowing them to reap positive benefits for themselves and their lives
