This study aims to analyze the strategies of multicultural Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning in fostering students’ tolerance attitudes in the context of Indonesia’s diverse society. This research employs a qualitative approach using a library research method by examining various relevant scientific literatures, including journals, books, and policy documents. Data were analyzed through stages of data collection, reduction, thematic analysis, and synthesis. The findings indicate that there are three main strategies in implementing multicultural-based PAI learning: (1) enrichment of teaching materials with multicultural perspectives, (2) application of dialogic discussion and cooperative learning methods, and (3) creation of a democratic and inclusive school culture. These strategies are proven to significantly contribute to the development of students’ tolerance, inclusivity, and respect for diversity. However, several challenges are identified, such as limited teacher competence, lack of inclusive teaching materials, social pressures, and the influence of digital media. In conclusion, multicultural-based PAI learning plays a crucial role in shaping tolerant and inclusive students. Its successful implementation requires a holistic, adaptive, and collaborative approach involving curriculum development, teacher competence enhancement, and support from the broader educational ecosystem.

This study aims to determine the implementation process of the talaqqi method in teaching tajwid in Islamic Religious Education subjects and the obstacles encountered in its implementation at SD Negeri 57 Buton. This research used a qualitative approach with descriptive research type. The subjects of the study were Islamic Religious Education teachers and 23 fifth grade students. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques consisted of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the implementation of the talaqqi method was carried out through several stages: the teacher first demonstrated the correct recitation of the Qur'an, students listened carefully, and then students imitated the recitation both collectively and individually. The talaqqi method helps teachers directly correct students' recitation mistakes, thereby improving students' tajwid skills. The obstacles found include differences in students' Qur'an reading abilities, limited learning time, and lack of practice at home. To overcome these obstacles, the teacher provided additional guidance and motivated students to practice reading the Qur'an more frequently.

This research is motivated by the reality of religious diversity at SMP Pembangunan V Yapis Waena, where non-Muslim students also take part in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) classes. The purpose of this study is to explore and describe the responses of non-Muslim students in receiving PAI lessons, viewed from the aspects of attitudes, behavior, and learning outcomes.This research employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, using observation, interviews, and documentation techniques that involved the principal, Islamic Religious Education teachers, and non-Muslim students as informants.The findings show that, in general, non-Muslim students respond positively to PAI learning, with a tolerant and open attitude toward universal materials such as morals, ethics, and humanitarian values, although they tend to be passive when dealing with ritual content that does not align with their faith. In terms of behavior, they attend classes on time, follow teacher instructions, participate in group discussions, and complete assignments despite difficulties with Arabic readings. Meanwhile, their learning outcomes are fairly good in general aspects, indicating that PAI lessons benefit them in fostering respect, discipline, and responsibility. The study concludes that PAI learning at SMP Pembangunan V Yapis Waena is accepted by non-Muslim students in a tolerant, adaptive, and constructive manner thanks to inclusive teaching strategies, school policies emphasizing tolerance, and a conducive classroom atmosphere.

This research is based on the importance of implementing the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) curriculum in shaping the character and religious understanding of students in madrasas who still face various challenges in practice. The aim of this research is to examine the implementation of the PAI curriculum which includes aspects of planning, implementation and evaluation of learning. The research uses a qualitative approach with the type of library research through reviewing various relevant scientific literature. The research results show that the implementation of the PAI curriculum has been carried out, but has not run optimally, especially in the implementation of learning which is still conventional and evaluations which focus more on cognitive aspects. The research conclusions show that the success of curriculum implementation is influenced by teacher competency, innovation in learning, and the development of a more comprehensive evaluation system.

This community service program aims to empower students. The lack of digital business literacy and knowledge about Islamic entrepreneurship in Islamic-based schools, as well as the application of sharia business principles, are the main drivers of this program. The activity implementation technique uses the Participatory Action Research (PAR) methodology. Problem identification, needs analysis, preparation of materials and instruments, pre-testing, training in Islamic business ethics and entrepreneurship theory, digital business practices, mentoring, post-testing, and program evaluation are some of the steps included in the activity. A total of 60 12th-grade students and ten instructors participated in this activity. The results showed that students' knowledge of sharia-based digital business, digital marketing skills, and entrepreneurial drive all increased. Student interest in starting a business increased by 78%, and participants' understanding of digital literacy increased by 85%. Furthermore, the program successfully instilled the ideals of Islamic entrepreneurship, such as accountability, honesty, and trustworthiness, as well as the prohibition of usury in digital business operations. In addition to encouraging the development of an Islamic digital business community within the educational environment, this community service program helps students develop personalities with noble morals, creativity, and adaptability.

This study aims to analyze the role of the principal in evaluating the Qur’an reading program using the Batiq Izzati method at RA Al-Izzah in Serang City. The principal holds a strategic responsibility in ensuring the quality of education, including the implementation of religious programs that play a crucial role in shaping Islamic character in early childhood. The Batiq Izzati method is an internally developed approach by the Al-Izzah Foundation, designed to facilitate Qur’an reading through a gradual, enjoyable, and child-friendly method. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, using data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that the principal has fulfilled eight key leadership roles; however, the evaluation process is not yet optimal due to limited time and insufficient parental involvement. Evaluations are conducted daily by teachers and periodically by the principal to determine students' progress through different levels (jilid). Supporting factors include competent teachers, adequate facilities, and a structured evaluation system, while inhibiting factors involve time constraints and limited human resources. This study recommends strengthening the principal's role in continuous evaluation and fostering better collaboration between the school and parents to enhance the program's effectiveness. 

Religious culture that is still quite strong in the community is an important capital in the implementation of youth development programs. However, the influence of social media, promiscuity, and the lack of religious activities that are attractive to the younger generation have led to a decrease in adolescents' interest in religious activities in mosques. Therefore, this research aims to form the character of discipline, responsibility, and cooperation in the group through Islamic hadrah art activities. This study uses the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) method, which is a community empowerment approach that focuses on the strengths and potentials possessed by the community, not on existing shortcomings or problems. In this approach, the community is invited to identify various assets they have, such as human resources, local institutions, cultural values, and social networks that can be used to overcome the problems they face. The results of the study showed that the adolescent participants experienced improved skills in playing hadrah and understanding of religious values. In addition, there has been a change in behavior towards being more disciplined, active, and caring for religious activities in the mosque environment.

This study examines the representation of gender inequality and forms of women's resistance in Haifaa al-Mansour's film Wadjda using a Marxist-Socialist feminist perspective. This study aims to identify the forms of gender inequality represented in the film and analyze the forms of resistance carried out by female characters against the patriarchal structure in Saudi Arabian society. The research method used is a descriptive analytical method with a qualitative approach. Research data were obtained through observation and note-taking techniques of dialogue, scenes, and visual elements in the film related to gender issues and women's resistance. The results of the study indicate that there are four forms of gender inequality in the film, namely restrictions on women's roles, women's lack of freedom in behavior, patriarchal acts, and claims of culture and Islamic norms of Saudi Arabian society that are used to legitimize women's subordination. In addition, this study also found several forms of resistance carried out by female characters, especially Wadjda, such as the desire to own a bicycle, independent economic strategies, negotiations with school authorities, unconventional expressions of identity, and covert resistance shown by Wadjda's mother.

Indonesia is a country rich in cultural diversity, one of which is Javanese culture which is full of philosophical values ​​and symbolic meanings in every practice, including in the traditional wedding procession. One of the important rituals in Javanese traditional weddings is the Panggih Manten ritual, which represents the meeting between the bride and groom with various symbols of life, hope and blessings. Along with the development of the times and the flow of modernization, people's understanding of the philosophical meaning of the ritual has shifted. Some people still carry out this tradition as a hereditary custom without understanding the values ​​contained in it, even giving rise to debates regarding its suitability with Islamic teachings. This study aims to analyze the practice of the Panggih Manten ritual in Javanese traditional wedding traditions and review its suitability with the 'Urf argument in Islamic law. The research method used is qualitative with a juridical-normative approach, while the research location was carried out in Pengkol village, Mantingan District. The results of the study show that the Panggih Manten ritual is basically acceptable in Islamic law as long as it does not conflict with the principles of sharia. Based on analysis from the perspective of al-'urf, several aspects of the Panggih Manten ritual, such as muter asem (the act of making offerings), and the belief in disasters, contain elements that are inconsistent with Islamic law and could potentially lead to idolatry, thus being categorized as al-'urf al-fāsid. Therefore, the Panggih Manten tradition can be preserved through reinterpretation of its meaning and the elimination of elements that contradict Islamic teachings, thus aligning it with Islamic principles.

This community service program aims to improve the Islamic character and morals of adolescents through religious development activities based on active community participation. This program is implemented using an Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach that emphasizes the utilization of local assets and potential, such as support from religious leaders, mosque facilities, and youth enthusiasm. The implementation method includes observation, participatory planning, implementation of development activities such as prayers, religious sermons, and worship habits, as well as joint evaluation. The results of the activities show an increase in adolescent participation in religious activities, changes in behavior towards a more positive direction, and increased spiritual and social awareness. In addition, this activity has an impact on strengthening community solidarity and creating a more religious and harmonious environment. Thus, the ABCD approach is effective in optimizing local potential to support the development of Islamic character in adolescents in a sustainable manner.

This study examines the role of the Karawang Cerdas Scholarship in fostering students’ responsibility and learning motivation in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) among 11th-grade students at MAN 2 Karawang. The study was motivated by the importance of developing responsibility and learning motivation as essential objectives of Islamic education while exploring the scholarship’s contribution beyond financial assistance. A qualitative case study approach was employed, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving scholarship recipients, PAI teachers, and program administrators. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the Karawang Cerdas Scholarship strengthens students’ academic responsibility, discipline, compliance with school regulations, awareness of maintaining the school’s reputation, and accountability in utilizing scholarship funds through the Statement of Absolute Responsibility (SPTJM). The program also enhances learning motivation, reflected in increased enthusiasm, active classroom participation, sustained academic achievement, and clearer educational goals. These improvements contribute to higher attendance, better PAI learning outcomes, fewer disciplinary violations, and the development of positive character traits. The study concludes that the Karawang Cerdas Scholarship functions not only as financial assistance but also as an effective instrument for character development and learning motivation.

This study aims to analyze the management of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning as an effort to improve students’ discipline in performing congregational prayers at SDN 188 Simangambat. Learning management in PAI includes planning, implementation, and evaluation strategies carried out by teachers to instill religious values and develop students’ awareness of the importance of praying together. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods to describe the role of PAI learning management in shaping students’ prayer discipline. The results indicate that effective PAI learning management can encourage students to perform congregational prayers regularly through teacher guidance, habituation programs, and a supportive school environment. Teachers play an important role as educators and role models in building students’ responsibility and obedience in carrying out religious activities. The implementation of structured learning activities, monitoring, and evaluation contributes to improving students’ discipline and spiritual character. Therefore, proper management of PAI learning is an important factor in developing students’ religious habits and strengthening Islamic character education in elementary schools.

The development of Pantai Indah Kapuk 2 (PIK 2) presents serious issues, including eviction, the loss of traditional livelihoods, and the marginalization of local communities within a modernization agenda that disregards social justice and sustainability. This research questions the extent to which the dominant modernization bias influences the socio-economic conditions of the surrounding community, as well as how public participation practices are implemented in the planning and execution of the project. The PIK 2 project has led to social inequality, the deprivation of rights, and environmental degradation, illustrating a pattern of systemic exploitation of coastal communities through the economic and political power of development elites. The dominant development theory framework proposed by Melkote and Steeves is used to examine modernization bias, supplemented by Islamic concepts such as mustadh’afin and ghasab to strengthen the social justice perspective. In this study, the author employs a qualitative case study approach, utilizing in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation involving affected residents, community leaders, and policymakers. The results of the analysis indicate very low levels of public participation, instances of intimidation during land acquisition, and a significant loss of access to employment and basic facilities for the community. The conclusion of this research emphasizes the need for policy reform to ensure that development is more transparent, participatory, and equitable, in order to protect the rights of local communities from dominant and exploitative development patterns.

The research in this paper aims to explore the concepts and principles of the educational environment from the perspective of the Qur'an and Hadith using a tafsir tarbawi (educational exegesis) approach. The developmental dynamics of human potential, both spiritual and intellectual, do not occur in a vacuum but are heavily influenced by environmental factors (educational ecology). By employing textual, thematic, and contextual analysis methods on several key verses such as QS. Al-Alaq: 1-5, QS. At-Tahrim: 6, QS. Luqman: 13-19, QS. Al-Kahfi: 66-70, and QS. Al-Hujurat: 13 this study maps the Islamic educational ecosystem into several primary domains. The results of the analysis indicate that the Qur'an constructs the educational environment as an integrative macro-systemic unity, comprising the domestic family environment (as a fortress for moral and creedal protection), the formal academic school/pesantren environment (as a space for teacher-student etiquette and ethics), and the socio-communal environment (as an arena for egalitarian multicultural inclusivity). Furthermore, this study formulates five fundamental paradigms of Islamic educational ecology: the integralistic, tawhid (monotheistic), humanistic-egalitarian, gradual-systemic, and transformational-emancipatory paradigms. This theoretical reconstruction corrects Western secular empiricism while simultaneously providing a holistic foundation for educators in managing an educational environment that aligns with divine revelation values and the demands of modern civilization.

This study analyzes the evolution of indigenous knowledge within the context of Islamic da'wah in South Sulawesi, focusing on social and cultural dimensions. This research is predicated on the premise that Islamic da'wah in South Sulawesi evolves within a social framework influenced by persistent local cultural values and traditions. In this context, local wisdom serves as both a cultural identity and a strategic vehicle for disseminating Islamic doctrines. This research seeks to examine the transformation of local wisdom within Islamic da'wah methods and to discern its social and cultural ramifications. The study utilized a qualitative methodology using a descriptive-analytical framework. Data were gathered by library research, observation, and comprehensive interviews with religious leaders, traditional leaders, and community people engaged in culturally oriented da'wah activities. The results indicate that the evolution of local wisdom transpires through the adaptation, accommodation, and reinterpretation of indigenous cultural values within the context of Islamic teachings. This method makes da'wah more acceptable to society, enhances social integration, protects local cultural identity, and encourages a moderate, inclusive, and contextual type of religiosity.

Future research is recommended to incorporate moderating variables such as government support and digital capability to enrich the model.

This study aims to analyze the role of Gambus music education in fostering appreciation for Riau Malay oral traditions in higher education. Amidst the wave of globalization, oral traditions such as pantun, syair, and gurindam are losing their space of actualization among the younger generation. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design at the Universitas Islam Riau. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that Gambus music learning, which integrates experiential learning methods through three main stages textual analysis, musical practice, and contextual reflection is effective in increasing students' cultural awareness. The integration of oral tradition texts into musical materials allows students to deeply internalize moral, religious, and social values. Despite challenges such as limited curriculum time allocation, the involvement of expert practitioners serves as a key supporting factor in providing an authentic learning experience. The study concludes that Gambus music in higher education functions as a strategic educational instrument to revitalize oral traditions as a "living archive" and strengthen students' cultural identity.

Community service is an integral part of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, aimed at providing tangible contributions to society. This activity was carried out in the form of a training program for the development of paripurna mosque imams across Pekanbaru City, focusing on improving the competencies of imams in both religious practices and the understanding of Islamic economics. The background of this activity is based on the existing gaps in imam quality, the lack of integrated training programs, and the increasing demands placed on the role of imams in society. The methods used in this program included observation, interviews, and the implementation of direct training sessions in mosques. The results of the activity indicate an improvement in participants’ understanding of the strategic role of imams as well as their literacy in Islamic economics. In addition, this program also strengthened the role of mosques as centers of worship, education, social engagement, and community-based economic development.This activity is expected to serve as an initial step toward developing professional, ethical, and competent mosque imams who are capable of addressing the challenges of modern society.

Low financial literacy among students, particularly in Islamic boarding schools, poses a challenge in fostering early economic independence. At Pondok Pesantren NW Montong Lisung, students generally lack the ability to manage pocket money, maintain financial records, and develop saving habits. This condition underlies the implementation of a community service program aimed at building smart financial habits through financial management education. The method employed a participatory approach consisting of counseling, training, and mentoring stages. Evaluation was conducted using pre-test and post-test, observation, and assessment of students’ financial record practices. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ financial literacy, increasing from an average of 42.5% to 79.5%, along with positive behavioral changes such as increased saving habits and better expense control. These findings indicate that financial management education is effective in improving students’ financial understanding and skills. Therefore, this program is important to be implemented sustainably to support the development of students’ economic independence in the future.
