This study aims to analyze the implementation of Islamic character education through the integration of the Qur’an memorization program (Tahfiz al-Qur’an) and Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at MA An Nur Prima, Medan, North Sumatra. The institution adopts a unique curriculum model in which students participate in Tahfiz activities every morning from 08:00 to 11:00, followed by formal learning, including PAI subjects, from 11:00 to 15:00. This design reflects a systematic effort to instill Islamic values through intensive interaction with the Qur’an while ensuring the achievement of academic competencies. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation during a four-week Professional Capacity Development (PKP) program. The findings show that Islamic character values such as discipline, responsibility, patience, perseverance, and love for the Qur’an were successfully cultivated through the synergy between the Tahfiz program and PAI instruction. Supporting factors included structured school discipline, strong collaboration between Tahfiz supervisors and PAI teachers, as well as high levels of students’ spiritual motivation. However, several challenges emerged, such as student fatigue, reduced concentration in afternoon classes, and differences in self-regulation skills. To address these issues, the school and teachers applied strategies such as providing an ISHOMA break, have lunch (rest, prayer, and meal), encouraging congregational Zuhur prayer, supplying meals to restore energy, incorporating ice-breaking activities, and designing interactive and engaging learning sessions. In conclusion, the integration of Tahfiz al-Qur’an and PAI proved effective in developing Islamic character values while maintaining a balance between students’ spiritual formation and academic performance.

This study aims to examine the effect of sales growth, profitability, capital structure, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) on firm value in companies listed in the LQ45 index during the 2022–2024 period. This research also intends to provide insights for investors in evaluating the factors that influence firm value as a basis for investment decision-making, including sales growth, profitability, capital structure, CSR, and firm value. The population of this study consists of 45 LQ45 companies, with a sample of 32 companies selected using purposive sampling based on specific criteria, resulting in 96 total observations. The research results show that sales growth and CSR do not affect firm value. Meanwhile, profitability and capital structure hurt firm value. This study concludes that sales growth has not yet become a strong fundamental signal for investors, as it does not always reflect sustainable performance. High profitability, in fact, has a negative effect on firm value, which may be due to a mismatch between short-term profits and the long-term prospects expected by investors. A high capital structure signals greater financial risk, thereby reducing investor confidence in the company. Meanwhile, CSR has not had a significant impact on firm value, possibly due to low disclosure quality or a lack of investor attention to sustainability issues.
