The development of the sharia economy in Indonesia demands the existence of a judicial institution capable of resolving disputes in accordance with Islamic legal principles. The Religious Court, through the amendment of Law Number 3 of 2006, has obtained the authority to handle cases in the field of sharia economics, including Islamic banking disputes. However, the implementation of this authority faces various challenges, both in terms of regulation, dualism of authority with general courts, and institutional readiness, such as human resources and infrastructure. This study employs a qualitative method with a normative juridical approach to analyze the legal basis, court practices, and institutional responses in the exercise of this authority. The results of the study indicate that the Religious Court holds great potential as a pillar for upholding sharia economic law but requires reinforcement in various aspects, including improving judges’ competencies, digitalizing the judicial system, and fostering inter-institutional synergy. Moreover, legal protection for justice seekers highly depends on the effectiveness and professionalism of the judicial institution. Therefore, a sustainable strategy is needed to build the institutional capacity of the Religious Court to respond to the dynamics of the sharia economy in a fair, accountable manner and in line with Islamic legal values in Indonesia.

This article discusses the strategic role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in shaping the character of leaders with integrity, justice, and responsibility. In the context of dynamic social change, leaders who have moral and spiritual foundations are an urgent need. This study uses a qualitative approach through a literature study of the latest academic sources. The results of the analysis show that the main values ​​in PAI—such as honesty, justice, responsibility, empathy, and sincerity—have a major contribution to the formation of leadership character. Effective implementation of PAI requires the integration of religious values ​​in leadership training, contextual learning, teacher role models, and active community participation. Obstacles such as the lack of understanding of the younger generation and the influence of the secular environment are challenges in themselves, but can be overcome with collaborative and contextually relevant educational strategies. This article emphasizes the importance of making PAI a foundation in building ethical and visionary leadership.    

Learning strategies are crucial because this is the first step given by the teacher. The step that needs to be considered is determining the learning strategy that will accommodate the development of students. The main teacher can choose the best teaching methods and strategies to create excellent learning, adjust the material to the students' abilities, and enable students to receive knowledge transfer. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach to explore project-based religious learning strategies applied in the Islamic Religious Education subject at SMP Muhammadiyah 05 Medan Denai. This approach was chosen to deeply explore the practices, experiences, and impact of learning on the religious awareness of the students. Interviews with students show that involvement in the project has made them better understand religious values in real life. Some students admitted to starting to pray on time, being more diligent in reading the Quran, and being more concerned about the social environment. This shows that the religious project encourages the internalization of values through direct experience, not just memorization or theory. This learning not only strengthens the understanding of Islamic material but also instills religious values through real practices that can be directly experienced by the students. Some forms of projects, such as mini-dawah, infaq movements, and adab campaigns, have proven to enrich students' experiences and enhance their awareness of Islamic values in daily life. Islamic education teachers play an important role as facilitators, not only guiding students in project activities but also providing space for reflection and evaluation. Students feel more motivated and actively engaged in the learning process, which leads to changes in their religious behavior, such as increased discipline in worship and a greater sense of care for their surroundings.

According to research, children can learn Islamic teachings in a more interesting and enjoyable way if they use play techniques. Apart from that, play activities educate moral values, foster social relationships, and shape children's Islamic personalities.

It is hoped that the results of this study can make a significant contribution in bridging the gap between religion and science and offer a solid philosophical framework for understanding hadith in interdisciplinary dialog with modern science.

The issue in this research is the lack of quality in learning, including in Catholic religious education. This certainly affects the instillation of values, which is the primary goal of learning. Therefore, the demand for teachers to become more professional is a key requirement. This study examines the role of Catholic Religious Education teachers in instilling Christian values. The research method used is qualitative, employing interview and documentation techniques to collect data. The data analysis technique for interview results involves reducing interview data, analyzing the results, and drawing conclusions. The interview process was conducted with Catholic religion teachers and students in three schools. This research was carried out in Sekadau Hulu District, involving three senior high schools in the district. The findings show that Catholic Religious Education teachers have not fully made the instillation of Christian values the primary goal of learning. The learning process tends to be merely formal, causing students to engage in it only as a graduation requirement. Teachers' preoccupation with administrative tasks also impacts the meaningfulness of the learning experience. The role of Catholic Religious Education teachers has not been maximized; learning is primarily a transfer of knowledge, and the practical activities carried out appear to have little meaningful impact on students.

This study aims to analyze the representation of religious moderation values in the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) textbook for grade VII at the junior high school level published by the Ministry of Education and Culture in the Merdeka Curriculum. The research method used in this research is a qualitative approach with descriptive research type. Data collection techniques are carried out through literature review and document analysis. This research will also use triangulation techniques to ensure data accuracy.  The results show that this textbook successfully conveys the values of religious moderation in a way that is appropriate to the Indonesian context which is rich in diversity. The value of national commitment is emphasized through teaching about the importance of maintaining national unity, while the value of tolerance and interfaith cooperation is reflected in materials that respect differences in beliefs and invite students to coexist peacefully. In addition, the value of anti-violence in religion is also integrated by promoting the principles of peace and compassion, as well as attitudes that avoid extremism. The book also introduces respect for local cultures that are in line with religious principles, to create a society that is inclusive, peaceful, and able to maintain social harmony. Thus, PAI textbooks in the Merdeka Curriculum not only function as a tool for religious learning, but also as a means of building student character that emphasizes the values of religious moderation in everyday life.

Revitalization of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in higher education has become a strategic urgency in responding to the challenges of globalization, secularization of education, and the crisis of students' spiritual identity. This article aims to examine new approaches in PAI learning that are able to integrate students' intellectual and spiritual intelligence. Using a descriptive qualitative approach through literature study, this study identifies the need for curriculum transformation, contextual learning methods, and the role of lecturers as value facilitators. The results of the study indicate that PAI revitalization must include a transdisciplinary approach, the use of digital technology, and the integration of religious moderation values. These efforts will shape the character of students who are not only intellectually critical but also spiritually strong. This study provides theoretical and practical contributions to the development of PAI curriculum at the higher education level.

Religious gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation that uses religious authority and teachings to question or doubt a person's perceptions, emotions, and experiences, so that the victim feels guilty or unfaithful. In the context of the Muslim community, this practice can occur when religious understanding is used narrowly and authoritarianly, suppressing freedom of thought, and perpetuating power imbalances—both in family relationships, communities, and religious institutions. This article examines the phenomenon of religious gaslighting from the perspective of critical Islamic education, with the aim of dismantling manipulative patterns wrapped in religious narratives. The approach used is qualitative-descriptive with literature analysis of classical and contemporary Islamic sources, as well as interdisciplinary studies in the fields of religious psychology and educational philosophy. The results of the study show that religious gaslighting is not only a matter of individual morals, but also part of an authoritarian social and cultural structure that needs to be countered through liberating (ta'dib) and transformative Islamic education. Islamic education based on the values ​​of justice (al-‘adl), compassion (rahmah), and deliberation can be a critical tool for building a healthy spiritual awareness and freeing people from the shackles of manipulative authority. Thus, education has a central role in forming a generation of Muslims who are able to distinguish between the authenticity of Islamic teachings and their misuse in the practice of power.

Learning strategies with Activity-Based Teaching Approaches in Islamic Religious Education Learning for Class V Students of SDN 027 Labuhan Tangga Baru are attempted to increase motivation, achievement, creativity, and problem solving in learning.

This study examines the application of Qawaid al-Fiqhiyyah al-Ammah in the legal framework of interfaith marriage within Indonesia’s multicultural society, characterized by religious and cultural diversity. The research background highlights the challenge of aligning sharia principles with the social dynamics of a multicultural context, particularly concerning the potential harm of interfaith marriages. The objective is to understand how fiqh principles, such as Ad-Dhararu Yuzal and Kullu Syarthin Mukhaalif Li Ushul al-Syari’ah Fa Huwa Baathil, serve as methodological tools to evaluate the law of interfaith marriage. A qualitative approach is employed, utilizing normative-juridical and descriptive-analytical methods. The normative-juridical analysis involves studying the Qur’an (Surah Al-Baqarah: 221 and Al-Maidah: 5) and fiqh principles, while the descriptive-analytical approach explores the perspectives of fiqh schools (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, Hanbali) and Indonesia’s social realities. Data were collected through a literature review, including classical fiqh texts, academic journals, and contemporary Islamic legal documents, analyzed deductively and inductively. The study provides a comprehensive understanding of the flexibility of fiqh principles in addressing interfaith marriage challenges while upholding sharia and minimizing social harm.

Islamic political preaching has become an increasingly significant phenomenon in Indonesia's socio-political landscape. Islamic political institutions develop various da'wah strategies that are adaptive to changing times, ranging from traditional approaches to the use of digital technology. This study analyzes the various da'wah strategies implemented by Islamic political institutions in Indonesia in broadcasting the teachings of Islam. The results show that effective strategies include the integration of Islamic values in the political agenda, the use of social media as a means of da'wah, a moderation approach in political communication, and a systematic cadre program. The main challenge lies in maintaining a balance between da'wah and politics so as not to be trapped in the politicization of religion, while the biggest opportunity lies in developing a moderate Islamic narrative that is relevant to the Indonesian context.
