The muhadoroh activity in schools should serve to enhance students' self-confidence and social interaction skills. However, many students still experience anxiety and difficulty in communicating effectively in public. This indicates that muhadoroh activities have not yet fully optimized their role in supporting students' personal and social development. This study aims to explore students' experiences in participating in muhadoroh, describe its contribution to increasing self-confidence, analyze its role in developing social interaction, and identify the correlation between both. The study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive design, collecting data through interviews and observations of eight informants, including students, OSIS administrators, OSIS advisors, and the principal at SMPIT Al Bina Purwakarta. The findings show that: (1) nervousness decreases through habituation and repeated practice, (2) muhadoroh activities contribute significantly to enhancing students' self-confidence, (3) it strengthens social interactions through collaboration and discussion, and (4) there is a positive relationship between self-confidence and the quality of social interactions. This research enriches the study of experiential learning in Islamic education and is expected to serve as a reference for optimizing muhadoroh activities in schools.

Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility (CSER) plays a strategic role in supporting sustainable development through improving community welfare and environmental protection. However, the implementation of CSER in regional areas still faces several challenges, including the lack of optimal local regulations, weak coordination among stakeholders, and limited understanding among the public and business actors regarding CSER implementation. This community service activity aims to provide socialization regarding the preparation of the Academic Draft for the Regional Regulation Initiative of the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) of North Sumatra Province in 2025 concerning CSER. The activity was carried out through lectures, interactive discussions, and academic assistance involving local government representatives, academics, business sectors, and the community. The results of the activity indicated an increased understanding among participants regarding the importance of establishing the CSER Regional Regulation Draft, the mechanism for preparing academic manuscripts, and the need for collaboration between the government, companies, and the community in supporting participatory and sustainable regional regulations.

Religious pluralism is an unavoidable reality in Indonesian society, where people from diverse religious, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds coexist. This study examines the relationship between Christianity and other religions, focusing on Christology and the doctrine of salvation within the context of Indonesian pluralism. The research aims to explore how Christians can maintain faithfulness to biblical teachings while fostering tolerance, respect, and harmonious interreligious relations. This study employs a qualitative literature review method by analyzing biblical texts, theological literature, scholarly articles, and perspectives from Christian theologians concerning religious diversity, the uniqueness of Jesus Christ, and Christian engagement in a pluralistic society. The findings indicate that Christianity upholds the exclusive claim that Jesus Christ is the Savior and the only way to salvation, while simultaneously teaching values of love, compassion, justice, and peace toward all people regardless of their religious affiliation. The study further reveals that constructive interfaith dialogue does not require compromising core Christian doctrines but encourages mutual understanding and cooperation for the common good. In the Indonesian context, the church is challenged to develop a contextual, dialogical, and transformative apologetic approach that reflects Christ’s love and promotes social harmony. Therefore, Christian witness can remain faithful to its theological foundations while contributing positively to peacebuilding, national unity, and the development of a just and inclusive society.

The Holy Communion is one of the sacraments performed in the Toraja Church as a direct command from God for all who believe in Jesus Christ. Therefore, everyone, both adults and children, is required to participate as part of the Kingdom of God's family. This study aims to analyze parents' understanding of the practice of Holy Communion involving children in the Gasing Congregation of the Toraja Church. The research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method to explain parents' understanding of the meaning and practice of Holy Communion involving children. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, field observation, and relevant literature review related to the research topic. The findings indicate that many parents still lack a proper understanding of the theological significance of Holy Communion, particularly when it involves children. Most parents simply follow the synod's decision without deeply understanding its theological foundation. Moreover, the church does not provide direct pastoral guidance to parents but merely reads out the meaning of Holy Communion during Sunday worship services, resulting in very limited comprehension among the congregation. Therefore, more intensive socialization and guidance from the church council to all congregation members, especially parents, is highly needed. This research is expected to contribute to the development of knowledge at IAKN Toraja and provide insights for readers, particularly congregants of the Toraja Church in general.

Taxes are a primary source of state revenue and play a crucial role in supporting national development. However, increasing tax revenue still faces several challenges, particularly the lack of public awareness in fulfilling tax obligations. This study aims to examine the role of public awareness in improving taxpayer compliance and its impact on state revenue. The approach used in this research is qualitative, reviewing literature from various previous studies. Research findings indicate that tax awareness, understanding, and knowledge have a positive impact on taxpayer compliance. Other economic factors such as inflation, population, and economic growth also play a role in influencing tax revenue. However, external factors such as socialization and tax sanctions show inconsistent results. Consequently, increasing public awareness through tax education is a key strategy for sustainably improving the country's performance. In addition, transparent tax management and effective government communication are important factors in strengthening public trust and encouraging voluntary taxpayer compliance. Therefore, collaboration between the government and society is needed to create a sustainable and effective taxation system that supports national economic growth.

The rapid development of digital technology has fostered an instant culture that prioritizes results over processes, leading to a diminished appreciation of character formation through persistence and repetition. This study aims to examine scriptwriting strategies in the production of a feature video entitled “Ballet: Repeated Steps, Formed Self” as a representation of the value of process in character development. This research employs a qualitative practice-based approach, focusing on the stages of pre-production, production, and post-production, particularly the role of the scriptwriter in constructing the narrative structure. The findings indicate that the application of a human interest approach through the integration of interviews, practice visuals, and voice-over narration produces a reflective and communicative storytelling experience. Furthermore, the systematic use of a three-act structure proves effective in organizing the dramatic flow, enabling audiences to better understand the conveyed message. Scriptwriting serves as the fundamental framework in guiding narrative construction and audiovisual integration. The implications of this study suggest that well-planned scriptwriting strategies can enhance message delivery in social issue-based feature video production while reinforcing the role of audiovisual media as a reflective medium for understanding the value of process in contemporary society.

This study, entitled "Developing Emotional Control Skills in Early Childhood Education (PAUD) Duyun in Bungabali Village, Pantar Timur District," found that children still struggle to manage their emotions, such as irritability, excessive crying, and difficulty interacting positively with peers.

This article examines marriage law within Indonesian customary law communities and its interaction with national legal regulations. In customary societies, marriage is not merely a personal bond between a man and a woman, but a social institution involving extended families and the wider community. The study aims to describe the various forms of customary marriage, the requirements for its validity, and the procedures for legalization, including the recognition of marriages among adherents of indigenous belief systems. This research employs a normative juridical approach using statutory and conceptual analysis based on relevant legal provisions and customary practices. The findings show that customary marriage systems in Indonesia are strongly influenced by kinship structures such as patrilineal, matrilineal, and parental systems, resulting in diverse forms including bridewealth marriage, semenda marriage, independent marriage, mixed marriage, and elopement. The validity of marriage in customary law is closely connected to religious or belief-based rituals and community acknowledgment. Furthermore, developments in national law, particularly Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage and Constitutional Court Decision Number 97/PUU-XIV/2016, have strengthened legal recognition for followers of indigenous beliefs in marriage registration. The study concludes that customary marriage law remains relevant and continues to coexist with national law, reflecting Indonesia’s legal pluralism and cultural diversity.

Land tenure conflicts between indigenous peoples and the state remain a persistent issue in Indonesia. These conflicts arise due to differences between customary law practiced by indigenous communities and the formal legal system enforced by the state. This study aims to analyze the legal recognition of indigenous land rights within the national agrarian law framework, identify the causes of such conflicts, and formulate equitable solutions for their resolution. This research employs a normative legal method using statutory and conceptual approaches. The findings reveal that although legal recognition of indigenous land rights exists in various regulations, its implementation remains weak. Conflicts are primarily caused by overlapping regulations, economic interests, and the lack of formal recognition of customary territories. Therefore, regulatory harmonization, strengthening legal recognition of indigenous peoples, and the development of participatory and socially just dispute resolution mechanisms are essential. In conclusion, the protection of indigenous land rights can be optimized within the national agrarian legal framework through comprehensive legal reform and inclusive governance.

This finding suggests that well-implemented CSR programs contribute to improving the quality of life, increasing income, strengthening social relationships, and enhancing access to education and health services. Furthermore, CSR programs also support sustainable community development by empowering local communities and improving social and economic conditions. Therefore, CSR plays a strategic role in fostering long-term welfare and development within the community.

This article discusses ethical values in the philosophy of Islamic education as a response to contemporary challenges, such as moral crisis, declining character, and identity confusion. This study uses a literature review method with a philosophical and normative approach, based on Islamic teachings and the thoughts of educational figures. The results show that the philosophy of Islamic education contains important values such as monotheism, justice, responsibility, honesty, and good morals. These values are interconnected and play a significant role in shaping human personality. In addition to serving as a theoretical foundation, these values also function as guidelines in educational practice aimed at forming a complete human being (insan kamil). In the modern era, which is influenced by globalization and technological development, the application of Islamic ethical values is highly important to maintain a balance between intellectual intelligence and spiritual maturity. Therefore, the philosophy of Islamic education remains relevant as a solution for creating an education system that is not only intellectually advanced but also character-based and morally grounded. This study emphasizes that Islamic education needs to be directed toward the formation of moral awareness, the strengthening of spirituality, and the development of students’ social responsibility in daily life.

The development of audiovisual media in the digital era provides a significant opportunity for conveying information, particularly regarding social and cultural issues. One interesting phenomenon is the acculturation of Peranakan Chinese cuisine in Indonesia, which is currently becoming less well-known among the younger generation. This study aims to represent this acculturation process through a documentary film entitled "Jejak Rasa" (Traces of Taste), using a naturalistic visual approach. The method used is a qualitative approach with field observation, interviews, and documentation strategies, integrated with a community organizing process. The research subjects included Peranakan Chinese culinary practitioners in Bandung, such as culinary business owners and museum guides. The production process consisted of three main stages: pre-production, production, and post-production. The naturalistic approach was implemented through the use of predominantly eye-level camera angles, minimal camera movement, and the use of natural lighting to produce authentic visuals. The results of the study indicate that documentary films can be an effective medium for representing cultural values, history, and culinary identity as part of the acculturation process. Thus, this work serves not only as a medium of information but also as an effort to preserve culture relevant to the development of modern media.

In the face of Indonesia’s escalating family crises amid rapid digital disruption and post-pandemic social recovery, this study proposes a novel “Dual-Ethos Synergy Model” that integrates the Fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23) with the second principle of Pancasila, namely “Just and Civilized Humanity.” The study is grounded in qualitative fieldwork conducted at Gereja Bethel Indonesia Pemulihan Keluarga Allah (GBI PKA). The findings demonstrate that the integration of Christian spiritual values and civic ethics fosters restorative character formation within families and church communities. This synergy produces practical outcomes, including stronger empathy in community service, improved interpersonal relationships, and more constructive conflict resolution practices. Using data gathered through nine in-depth interviews, participant observations, and document analysis, the study addresses existing gaps in urban church discipleship by combining spiritual transformation with social responsibility and civic engagement. The proposed model also offers implications for scalable digital-hybrid ministry programs focused on family restoration and contributes to the development of contextual theological praxis within pluralistic and multicultural societies. Limitations of the study and recommendations for future research are also discussed.

This study examines the contribution of Aqidah, Sharia, and Morals to the formation of Muslim character. Aqidah serves as the foundation of faith, Sharia serves as a guideline for regulating daily behavior, while Morals are the manifestation of ethical behavior reflected in social life. These three components are interrelated and together form a balanced Muslim personality. The approach and method used in this study were qualitative, using a literature review method obtained through theories of Islamic education, character formation, and moral development from various books and scientific journals. The collected data were then subjected to further analysis. The results of the study indicate that the integration of Aqidah, Sharia, and Morals plays a role in shaping individuals with strong spiritual awareness, commendable behavior, and social responsibility. Individuals who possess strong Aqidah, consistently adhere to Sharia, and practice good Morals tend to demonstrate honesty, discipline, and empathy in social life. Furthermore, character education based on Islamic values ​​can also strengthen moral awareness and create harmonious social relationships. The implications of this research suggest that both formal and non-formal educational institutions need to integrate faith values, religious practices, and morals into character education programs. This integration is expected to produce a generation with integrity, religious character, and the ability to adapt to the challenges of the modern era.
