This community‑engagement study aimed to revitalize the Qur’anic ecosystem in Sempu Village (Ngancar District, Kediri Regency) by fostering inter‑generational synergy—among families, youth communities, and TPQ (Qur’an Study Groups)—using an asset‑based community development (ABCD) approach. The program identified and mobilised local assets such as TPQ students/alumni, active youth, community leaders, mosque/TPQ facilities, and locally established networks to strengthen Qur’an mentoring with a psycho‑spiritual dimension. The research employed a qualitative intervention method executed in three phases: asset mapping & diagnosis; design & implementation of the intervention; and program evaluation & reflection. Results indicated that youth attendance increased from 45 % to 78 %; the number of participating families rose from 18 to 32; and 90 % of TPQ administrators expressed the intention to continue the inter‑generational forum model on a regular basis. Discussion revealed that the intervention did more than improve attendance—it reinforced a sense of ownership, social connectedness, and internalization of Qur’anic values (spiritual well‑being). The psycho‑spiritual approach proved effective in strengthening youth identity and building a sustainable Qur’anic community culture. Limitations include the short duration of the intervention (12 weeks) and persistent communication barriers between generations related to time constraints and family workloads. Recommendations include conducting long‑term measurements, adapting the mentoring modules to accommodate family/youth time issues, and replicating the model in other villages with different characteristics.

A quantitative approach was applied using multiple linear regression analysis after validity, reliability, normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity tests met the requirements. The results show that content marketing, influencer marketing, and online customer reviews individually have a significant positive effect on purchasing interest in Skintific products. Simultaneously, these three variables significantly influence purchasing interest, with a strong contribution. These findings imply that an integrated digital marketing strategy involving content marketing, influencer marketing, and online customer reviews is effective in increasing purchasing interest among Generation Z students on TikTok. This provides valuable insights for companies in designing more effective digital marketing campaigns to attract young consumers through social media platforms.

This study aims to answer two questions. First, why were there only single candidates in 37 regions in the 2024 simultaneous regional elections? Second, what are the risks of single candidates to democracy and the performance of political parties? The methods used are normative juridical methods with a legislative and conceptual approach. The research focuses on the phenomenon of single candidates in regional elections and its impact on democracy and the performance of political parties in Indonesia. The results of this study show that the phenomenon of single candidates in regional elections indicates weak local democracy and poor performance of political parties in carrying out their functions of regeneration and leadership recruitment. Elite domination, high political costs, and the strong influence of oligarchs make the nomination process non-competitive and reduce the space for alternative candidates. As a result, regional elections are only procedural without substance, widening the democratic deficit and opening space for local bossism and unhealthy power consolidation. If this condition continues, local democracy will move further away from the principles of openness, accountability, and fair competition.

The global ecological crisis has shifted from being merely a technical issue to a moral-spiritual crisis rooted in an anthropocentric view. This study analyzes the role of eco-theology in Islamic education as the foundation for shaping environmental awareness from a divine perspective. Using qualitative methods with an in-depth literature review approach, this study examines the integration of the values of tawhid, khalifah, and amanah in the framework of the Islamic education curriculum. The findings reveal that Islamic eco-theology offers a transformative paradigm through theological reconstruction that positions nature conservation as a manifestation of worship and religious responsibility. Its implementation through innovative learning strategies such as project-based learning in the “Green Qur'anic School” model and contextual approaches has proven effective in shaping the ecological character of students. The implications of this research encourage the development of a holistic Islamic education model that systematically integrates ecological values through an integrated curriculum, practical habits, and character assessment, thereby producing a generation of Muslims who consistently practice environmental sustainability as a manifestation of divine trust in their daily lives.

Axiology is a branch of philosophy that examines values ​​in human life, such as goodness, truth, beauty, and the benefits of knowledge. In the context of Islamic education, axiology plays a crucial role in determining the direction and goals of education, namely, to develop individuals who are balanced intellectually, morally, and spiritually, known as insan kamil (the perfect human being). Values ​​in axiology are divided into two primary sources: divine values ​​derived from God's revelation and His attributes, and human values ​​derived from human experience and civilization. These two types of values ​​serve as the foundation for developing a comprehensive Islamic education. The axiology of Islamic education emphasizes not only the attainment of knowledge but also the formation of character and morals in students. Teachers and educational institutions act as agents of values, instilling ethics, aesthetics, and socio-political awareness based on Islamic teachings. By integrating these values, Islamic education aims to produce a generation that is not only intellectually intelligent but also possesses noble morals and is capable of making a positive contribution to society and global civilization. Axiology, therefore, serves as a crucial foundation for realizing a meaningful and humanity-oriented education.

The meaning of gratitude according to the perspective of the Qur'an and its relationship to modern human life which is influenced by technological advances, materialistic lifestyles, and social pressures. In the view of the Qur'an, gratitude is not merely expressed through words, but involves the awareness of the heart, verbal words, and real actions as a form of recognition of the blessings given by Allah SWT. Gratitude also functions as a reflection of faith that combines spiritual, moral, and social elements. In the context of modern life, the meaning of gratitude has shifted due to consumptive lifestyles and the culture of seeking recognition on social media, which has an impact on decreasing feelings of satisfaction and inner peace. This study uses a qualitative approach with a library research method through a review of the verses of the Qur'an, tafsir books, and various relevant academic literature. The results of the study show that the teachings of gratitude in the Qur'an play an important role in maintaining spiritual, emotional, and spiritual balance in the midst of modern life. The application of an attitude of gratitude has been proven to improve mental health, strengthen social relationships, and reduce materialistic tendencies. Furthermore, the value of gratitude can serve as a moral guideline for Generation Alpha, enabling them to balance technological advancement with spiritual life. Overall, the teachings of gratitude in the Quran remain universally relevant, not only as a religious obligation but also as a spiritual and social necessity that can bring happiness, serenity, and meaning to life amidst the dynamics of the digital age.

The development of digital da'wah demands a more in-depth, comprehensive, and data-driven methodological approach. However, contemporary da'wah research is still dominated by descriptive analysis that stops at mapping surface phenomena without exploring the underlying causal factors that determine the long-term effectiveness of da'wah. This weakness is increasingly apparent in the use of SWOT analysis, which has been widely applied in da'wah studies, but tends to be limited to producing categorization tables without an operational epistemic basis. Meanwhile, the era of digital da'wah presents a new, complex reality, where da'wah success is influenced not only by surface interactions such as the number of viewers, impressions, or follower growth, but also by latent factors such as audience cognitive motivation, platform algorithms, digital cultural context, identity construction, and societal value systems. This study aims to formulate a new methodological model through the integration of SWOT and the Iceberg approach to address this methodological stagnation. The research was conducted using qualitative methods based on literature analysis, comparative studies of strategic analysis models, and the construction of a conceptual model. The results show that the SWOT-Iceberg integration is able to produce a more multidimensional framework for digital da'wah analysis: SWOT diagnoses surface symptoms, while Iceberg explores patterns, causal structures, and mental models that shape phenomena. This combined model enables the development of more accurate, adaptive, and evidence-based da'wah strategies. It is concluded that the SWOT–Iceberg integration significantly contributes to the development of modern da'wah methodology by encouraging a shift from descriptive research to transformative diagnostic analysis, while simultaneously strengthening the scientific character of da'wah as an academic discipline based on a critical and measurable knowledge system.

The development of Islamic banking in Indonesia faces challenges in attracting customers, especially younger generations who are more familiar with digital technology. Digital marketing has become an important strategy for reaching a wider market segment through social media, websites, and mobile applications. This study uses a literature review method to analyze the effectiveness of digital marketing in increasing customer interest in Islamic banking. The results of the study show that educational, interactive, and transparent digital marketing can increase customer awareness, trust, and emotional attachment to Islamic products. The factors for the success of this strategy include content quality, ease of access to digital services, content segmentation according to customer profiles, and multichannel communication integration. However, the effectiveness of digital marketing is still limited by the scarcity of educational content, human resource capacity, and the level of digital literacy among the public. This study concludes that optimizing creative, personalized, and educational digital marketing strategies is key for Islamic banking to increase customer interest and loyalty.

The development of information technology has had a major impact on how Generation Z students in Banten obtain information. This situation requires digital literacy skills that are not only technical in nature, but also involve critical thinking and digital ethics. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between digital literacy and understanding of Pancasila values among Generation Z students in Banten, as well as to identify factors that support, hinder, and strategies to strengthen Pancasila-based character in the digital world. The method used in this study is qualitative with a literature study approach supported by observations on campus and interviews with students. The findings show that students' digital literacy is in the good category, but it is not yet fully in line with their understanding of Pancasila values. The impact of negative information, such as hoaxes and hedonistic culture, is a major obstacle to national character. Supporting factors include the role of stakeholders in providing space for learning media ethics. This study highlights the importance of integrating Pancasila values into digital literacy through an adaptable Pancasila Education curriculum, the development of educational content, and collaboration between stakeholders. The implications of this study indicate the need to strengthen students' character so that they can become ethical, responsible digital citizens who reflect the values of Pancasila. 

This study examines the inconsistency between the messages and behaviors of online preachers from Generation Z within the perspective of Islamic education. In the digital era, social media platforms such as TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram have become primary spaces for modern da’wah that are interactive and appealing to younger audiences. However, this advancement also presents significant challenges, particularly the dissonance between the Islamic values conveyed and the preacher’s actual behavior in the public sphere. This research employs a library research method by analyzing theories of communication, digital media, and Islamic education. The findings indicate that the main factors contributing to this inconsistency include algorithmic pressure from social media, commercialization of da’wah, lack of religious mentorship, and the digital culture of Gen Z that prioritizes popularity. From the standpoint of Islamic education, this phenomenon underscores the importance of integrating digital literacy, online preaching ethics, and character formation into both formal and non-formal educational curricula. Therefore, this study recommends strengthening the role of Islamic educational institutions in guiding young preachers so that digital da’wah remains ethical, educational, and truly reflective of authentic Islamic moral and spiritual values.

This study examines the integration of Islamic digital literacy into Islamic Religious Education (PAI) as a preventive effort against the negative impacts of social media on Generation Z. The background of this research arises from the increasing dependence of Gen Z on digital platforms, which significantly influences their religious understanding, behavior, and character development. The study aims to identify the level of students’ digital literacy, explore how PAI teachers integrate Islamic values into digital learning activities, and analyze the implications of this integration for students’ online behavior. Using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, quantitative data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires, followed by qualitative data obtained from interviews and documentation. The findings reveal that Gen Z demonstrates high social media engagement but limited critical abilities in verifying online religious information, making them vulnerable to misinformation, moral degradation, and unhealthy digital habits. However, when PAI instruction incorporates Islamic digital literacy—such as tabayyun, ethical communication, and value-based content analysis—students show improved critical thinking, ethical awareness, and responsible social media use. The study concludes that integrating Islamic digital literacy into PAI provides a strategic educational framework to strengthen students' digital ethics, enhance their resilience against harmful online content, and promote a balanced, value-driven engagement with digital media.

The advancement of digital technology encourages the need for innovative learning strategies capable of strengthening students’ moral character amid the decline in discipline, responsibility, and empathy among learners. This study aims to analyze how project-based digital storytelling influences the improvement of students’ morals and how its implementation process occurs within an educational context. The research method used is library research by examining books, journals, and relevant scientific sources related to students’ moral development, project-based learning, and digital storytelling. The analysis was conducted through content analysis to identify key concepts, findings from previous studies, and the relationship between storytelling strategies and the internalization of moral values. The results indicate that digital storytelling is effective as a learning medium because it can integrate cognitive, affective, and technological aspects into a meaningful learning experience. Through the processes of planning, scriptwriting, digital production, and project presentation, students are actively involved in understanding and internalizing moral values such as honesty, empathy, responsibility, and discipline. In addition, digital narratives can build emotional connectedness that strengthens moral feeling and encourages students’ moral action in daily life. These findings imply that project-based digital storytelling can serve as an innovative pedagogical strategy to reinforce character education in schools, especially in facing the challenges posed by technological development and behavioral changes in the digital generation.

The development of digital technology has greatly influenced consumer behavior, particularly among Generation Z, who are dominant in Indonesia's hijab fashion market. This shift requires businesses to adapt their strategies to meet the dynamic, trend-driven, and digitally-savvy preferences of young consumers. This study examines the business development strategy of Leenavie.id, a hijab brand, and the challenges it faces in targeting Generation Z. Using a qualitative approach with case study methodology, in-depth interviews with business owners were conducted to gain insights into the business development process. The findings show that Leenavie.id focuses on product innovation, competitive pricing, social media as a primary distribution and promotion channel, and leveraging e-WOM for brand awareness and emotional connections with consumers. Success indicators include a high repeat order rate, positive market response, and external collaboration offers. However, challenges such as limited capital, small production capacity, and underutilization of the marketplace hinder scalability. The study suggests that enhancing digital adaptation, strengthening operational capacity, and fostering strategic collaborations are key to improving the competitiveness and sustainability of local hijab businesses. Future research should include consumer perspectives for a more comprehensive understanding of customer behavior and loyalty.
