Therefore, this study concludes that although qard financing at MRBJ. provides significant social benefits, there is a need to enhance Sharia understanding and improving institutional governance to ensure optimal implementation in accordance with the principles established by the DSN-MUI fatwa with the principles established by the DSN-MUI fatwa.

This study aims to describe the strategies of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in increasing the learning participation of low-ability students at SDN 008 Tebing Karimun. Learning participation is an important indicator of learning success, but in reality there is still low student involvement in the learning process. Inhibiting factors come from internal aspects such as low confidence and limited cognitive abilities, as well as external aspects in the form of less varied learning strategies and less supportive classroom environments. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive type, involving PAI teachers as the main informants and students as supporting informants. Data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed with an interactive model that included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn, and tested for validity through triangulation. The results of the study showed that teachers' strategies include active learning, group discussions, individual approaches, and the use of learning media. The obstacles faced include low student confidence, cognitive limitations, and lack of variety of methods. The solutions carried out by teachers are in the form of providing motivation, applying innovative methods, and creating a conducive learning environment. This study concludes that PAI teachers' strategies play an important role in increasing the learning participation of low-ability students through innovative, interactive, and student-centered learning.

This study addresses the limited integration of environmental education, Islamic values, and creative learning practices in existing pedagogical models. It proposes an eco-friendly Islamic calligraphy approach as an innovative medium for recycling-based learning that promotes both ecological awareness and spiritual development. The study adopts a Participatory Action Research (PAR) design involving 22 students from diverse educational levels at Sanggar Bimbingan Bintang Sembilan. Data were collected through structured observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using an iterative qualitative framework to identify changes in students’ cognitive, affective, and behavioral domains. The findings indicate that students initially exhibited low environmental awareness, minimal engagement, and limited ability to utilize recyclable materials creatively. Following the intervention, there was a substantial increase in active participation, creative output, and conceptual understanding of environmental sustainability. Students also demonstrated observable behavioral shifts, particularly in waste reuse practices and environmental responsibility. In addition, the incorporation of Islamic values reinforced ethical awareness and strengthened students’ sense of stewardship toward the environment. This study contributes to the advancement of interdisciplinary learning by offering a contextual and practice-oriented model that integrates environmental education, religious values, and art-based pedagogy. The proposed approach not only enhances student engagement but also fosters holistic learning outcomes, making it a viable alternative to conventional instructional methods in sustainability education.

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.

 Education in the 21st century demands a paradigm shift from passive learning to collaborative and student-centered learning, in line with the Merdeka Curriculum’s emphasis on the value of mutual cooperation. However, challenges arise due to the younger generation’s heavy reliance on technology, which tends to foster individualism. This study aims to examine the implementation of cooperative learning strategies as a solution to foster social interaction and student engagement. Cooperative learning strategies constitute a conceptual framework for a series of learning activities within heterogeneous small groups to achieve shared goals. Through a literature review, it was found that the implementation of these strategies involves systematic steps ranging from group formation, problem-solving discussions, to group recognition. The results of the analysis indicate that cooperative strategies have significant advantages in enhancing students’ self-confidence, independence, responsibility, and academic achievement. Although they have limitations regarding time management and the need for specific skills among educators, these strategies are considered highly relevant for fostering students’ character to be inclusive, tolerant, and capable of collaborating amidst differences.

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 implementation of active learning models such as Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Project-Based Learning (PjBL) at the junior high school level is often constrained by the complexity of instructional time management. This study aims to examine the role of the principal’s instructional leadership in addressing time management dilemmas in the implementation of active learning at SMP Negeri 6 Panyabungan. A qualitative approach with a descriptive method was employed in this study. Data were collected through non-participant observation and in-depth interviews with key informants, namely the school principal and an Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teacher selected as representatives of field conditions. The findings reveal three main results. First, teachers’ time management constraints are caused by weak control of learning activity transitions, noisy classroom conditions during group division, and low initial student learning readiness. Second, the principal implemented several concrete interventions, including the adoption of block scheduling, clinical supervision focused on classroom management, and the optimization of the Subject Teacher Forum (MGMP) or school learning community. Third, these interventions improved teachers’ instructional efficiency, strengthened classroom activity control, and created a more structured active learning process. However, sustainability challenges remain, particularly resistance from senior teachers who tend to prefer conventional teaching methods. This study concludes that adaptive and solution-oriented instructional leadership is a key factor in addressing the complexity of time management constraints in active learning implementation.

This research aims to classify students’ lifestyles using the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm. The dataset consists of 392 high school students obtained from Kaggle, with key attributes including study hours, social media usage, Netflix viewing duration, attendance, sleep quality, internet quality, mental health, and extracurricular activities. KNN was chosen for its simplicity in distance-based classification, measured using Euclidean Distance. The data was divided into training and testing sets, then evaluated using accuracy and a confusion matrix. The results show that KNN effectively classifies students’ lifestyles into four categories: healthy, less active, at risk, and highly at risk. This classification is expected to assist educational institutions, parents, and students in understanding lifestyle patterns and their impact on academic performance and mental well-being. Furthermore, this study emphasizes the relevance of applying machine learning in education, aligned with Islamic values concerning health, discipline, and the optimal use of time.

The accelerating global ecological crisis, manifested in deforestation, biodiversity collapse, and extreme climate change, fundamentally reflects a deep-rooted moral and spiritual deterioration within modern humanity. Islamic Religious Education (PAI) holds a unique strategic position to address this crisis by systematically integrating naturalistic intelligence, the eighth dimension of Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences theory, into the character formation process of students. This qualitative library research employs content analysis and conceptual analysis techniques applied to relevant primary and secondary academic sources published between 2019 and 2026. The study pursues three objectives: (1) to examine the conceptual and theological foundations of naturalistic intelligence within the Islamic educational framework; (2) to identify the reciprocal relationship patterns between naturalistic intelligence and the formation of religious-ecological character in students; and (3) to formulate integrative Islamic education management strategies for optimizing naturalistic intelligence. Findings reveal that naturalistic intelligence possesses robust theological grounding in Islamic tradition, anchored in the concepts of tafakkur, ayat kauniyah, khalifatullah fil ardh, and scientia sacra, none of which are peripheral but rather central to the Islamic worldview. The relationship between naturalistic intelligence and religious-ecological character is bidirectional and mutually reinforcing, operating through three sequential pathways: from naturalistic intelligence to theological consciousness, from theological consciousness to intrinsic ecological motivation, and from intrinsic motivation to consistent religious-ecological behavior. Islamic education management can optimize naturalistic intelligence development through four strategic pillars: reconstruction of the PAI curriculum based on ayat kauniyah, development of innovative eco-theological pedagogy, construction of an eco-conscious school culture, and strengthening of school-family-community partnerships. This study advances the concept of "Spiritual Eco-Literacy" as an original paradigmatic contribution to 21st-century Islamic education.

Character education has become a major topic in modern education due to technological advances, globalization, and lifestyle changes that influence the behavior and moral values ​​of the younger generation. This situation necessitates efforts to build strong character through education based on Islamic values. The family, as the primary educational institution, plays a key role in instilling faith, morals, and ethics in children from an early age. This study aims to examine the role of the family in Islamic character education and evaluate strategies that families can implement to build the foundation of children's morals in today's era. The method used was qualitative research with a library study, collecting data from various sources such as books, scientific journals, and related research findings. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive qualitative techniques through the stages of reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. The findings indicate that families play a significant role in shaping children's character through role models, the instillation of religious values, effective communication, and supervision of digital technology use. The implementation of Islamic character education within the family environment can create a strong moral foundation, enabling children to face the challenges of the times without losing their moral and spiritual values. This research provides implications that active participation of parents in family education is a major factor in building the character of a generation with noble morals in the modern era.

This study examines the relationship between the concept of rahmah in the Qur’an and the concept of the Adversity Quotient as an indicator of spiritual and psychological resilience among Muslim individuals in facing life’s challenges. The significance of this research lies in its effort to integrate Islamic spiritual values with modern psychological theories in understanding human capacity to endure and manage life pressures. This study aims to explain the interpretations of Qur’anic exegetes regarding the concept of rahmah and to demonstrate its contribution to the formation of the Adversity Quotient in human character. The research employs a qualitative approach using library research and thematic analysis of relevant Qur’anic verses, combined with a descriptive-analytical method for data interpretation. The findings indicate that rahmah encompasses spiritual, psychological, and social dimensions that play a vital role in strengthening inner resilience, emotional balance, and a positive perspective toward life’s trials. The novelty of this study lies in linking rahmah as a manifestation of divine compassion with the enhancement of the Adversity Quotient within the framework of Islamic psychology. Practically, a deep understanding of rahmah can serve as a foundation for moral education, Islamic counseling, and spiritual development oriented toward resilience and human dignity.

The rapid development of information and communication technology in the digital era has brought massive disruptions to all aspects of human life, including the educational paradigm and societal morality. Generation Z, as digital natives who grow up alongside these technological advancements, faces significant vulnerabilities regarding character degradation and moral decadence due to boundless exposure to global information. This research aims to critically analyze the strategic role of Islamic Religious Education in shaping and fortifying the character of Generation Z amidst the complexities of the digital landscape. The method used in this study is a qualitative literature review, which systematically synthesizes and analyzes twenty relevant academic sources. The findings indicate that Islamic Religious Education serves as an irreplaceable moral compass by internalizing the fundamental values of Tawhid and prophetic ethics. Furthermore, the integration of modern digital pedagogy with classical Islamic traditions, accompanied by the teacher's role as a moral exemplar (mu'addib), is crucial for effective character building. In conclusion, a collaborative educational ecosystem involving the family, school, and society is mandatory to ensure the continuous moral resilience of the younger generation in facing future technological disruptions.

Article 210 of the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) limits gifts to a maximum of one-third of the donor’s assets as a form of protection for the rights of heirs and to uphold social justice. However, in practice, land gift deeds drawn up by PPATs/PPATSs are still found to exceed this limit, thereby giving rise to controversy and legal disputes in the form of lawsuits seeking the annulment of such deeds in court. This phenomenon indicates a disconnect between legal principles and practical implementation, leading to legal uncertainty. This study aims to analyze the legal status of land gift deeds that exceed the maximum limit, legal protection for bona fide donees, and the responsibility of PPATs in their drafting. The research method employed is a normative legal approach using legislative, conceptual, and case-based analyses, along with primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources analyzed qualitatively. The results indicate that a land grant deed exceeding the maximum limit retains limited legal validity, specifically only for the portions compliant with the provisions of the KHI. Legal protection for the grantee can be guaranteed if there is consent from all heirs. Furthermore, the PPAT bears civil, criminal, administrative, and ethical responsibilities regarding the deed drafted. Therefore, strengthening regulations, enhancing public legal literacy, and ensuring the PPAT’s due diligence are necessary to guarantee legal certainty and reduce disputes.
