Islamic education has a strategic role in shaping the character of students who are able to live harmoniously in a multicultural society. Islamic values ​​such as tolerance, mutual respect and cooperation must be taught to promote harmony amidst cultural, ethnic and religious differences. Although Islamic teachings support inclusivity and respect for diversity, its practice is often faced with challenges. Therefore, an Islamic education approach with a multicultural perspective is needed to teach students to understand that differences are God's decree and must be seen as a social force. This educational concept needs to prioritize human values, moderation and openness, as well as integrating diversity in learning. Through education that emphasizes multiculturalism, it is hoped that a generation that not only adheres to religion but is also able to maintain social harmony can be formed. This research also identifies challenges in implementing multicultural education in Islamic schools and offers strategies to overcome these obstacles.

Integration between Islamic economy and green economy in the context of sustainable development. In this modern era, environmental challenges are increasingly pressing, and a holistic approach is needed to overcome these problems. The concept of maqashid sharia, which includes the protection of religion, life, reason, property and descendants, provides a comprehensive framework for integrating social, economic and environmental aspects in development. Education and environmental awareness based on Islamic values ​​are one of the important pillars in creating a society that cares about the environment. Several mosques in Indonesia have implemented environmentally friendly principles by optimizing the use of renewable energy and managing waste effectively. This shows that religious institutions can play an active role in supporting the green economy. However, there are still many challenges faced in implementing a green economy in Indonesia, including a lack of environmental literacy in society and human exploitation of other humans. Therefore, this paper aims to find strategies and recommendations that can be implemented to integrate Islamic economics within a sustainable development framework, so as to create synergy between economic growth, social welfare and environmental preservation. Therefore, it is hoped that this paper can contribute to the moral and material development of Islamic society and encourage active participation in environmental conservation efforts. Criticism and suggestions from readers are highly welcomed for future improvements.

Islamization emerged because of the concerns of Muslim intellectuals who saw that Muslims were in crisis due to the application of secular-based Western science. The secular concept of science is not suitable for Muslims because it separates religion from science. So far, Islam is believed to have a very important role in coloring the building of science. However, in reality, Muslim society seems to be forced to implement secular teachings in life because of the rapid flow of secularization. This condition is a concern for Islamic thinkers, because it could endanger Islamic faith. Thus, a critical opinion emerged from a Muslim scholar who came up with the idea of ​​the Islamization of science, namely Ismail Raji Al-Faruqi and Syad Naquib Al-Attas. Both of them saw that the phenomenon of scientific development had deviated from Islamic teachings. So that it has the impact of someone becoming secular. This research aims to discuss the Islamization of science according to the thoughts of Ismail Raji Al-Faruqi and Syad Naquib Al-Attas. The method used in this research is a research library, by collecting previous articles and sources. The results of this research reveal that Al-Faruqi and Al-Attas have similarities in their thinking, namely that they both think that the main problem of the Muslim crisis is science developed by the West.

Adultery, which in Islam is defined as sexual intercourse outside of a legal marriage, is one of the major sins. Islamic law strictly prohibits and imposes severe sanctions on perpetrators of adultery, both men and women. In the Qur'an, adultery is referred to as an act that damages morals and social order. Sanctions for perpetrators of adultery in Islamic law are included in the category of hudud punishments, which have fixed provisions from Allah and are strictly regulated in the Shari'a. The purpose of this study is to analyze how Islamic law imposes sanctions on adultery and the role of these punishments in maintaining the morality of society, to examine how the Criminal Code in Indonesia regulates adultery, and to consider the differences in sanctions applied in positive law, to compare the perspectives of Islamic law and the Criminal Code in dealing with cases of adultery, both in terms of legal substance and enforcement in Indonesia, to identify the relevance of each legal system in dealing with adultery in the modern era, considering the differences in culture and views of society. In Islamic law, adultery has very severe sanctions. If the perpetrator of adultery is a married person, the punishment is stoning or stoning to death, while for those who are not married, the punishment is 100 lashes. This research method uses a qualitative approach with a normative juridical method to analyze the comparison between Islamic law and the Criminal Code in regulating adultery. The results of this study indicate that Islamic law emphasizes the importance of testimony and strong evidence in the process of enforcing the punishment for adultery, namely that there must be four witnesses who directly witnessed the act. Meanwhile, in the Criminal Code, adultery is not given the same severe sanctions as in Islamic law. The Criminal Code only provides imprisonment for adultery perpetrators who are proven guilty, especially if the act involves married parties. Article 284 of the Criminal Code regulates a maximum prison sentence of nine months for those who commit adultery. Unlike Islamic law, the Criminal Code focuses more on maintaining public order and family honor than on individual morality according to religion.

Mahram is an important issue in Islam because it can influence behavior, halal and haram. Furthermore, mahram is a wise decision of Allah SWT and also the perfection of this religion which regulates every aspect of life. So, it is important for us to know who is included in the list of mahrams and what their rights are. Furthermore, Mahram also touched on the issue of inter-tribal marriages. The question is whether this can be considered contrary to the existence of Mahram. This issue is still debated by many religious experts and many different sectarian groups have emerged and punished each other by prohibiting inter-tribal marriages. In short, the author emphasizes that this problem is not included in the daruriyyat but only in the hajiyyat category. In other words we can say that inter-tribal marriages are permitted in Islam.   

Education is the key to all quality progress and development, because with education humans can realize all their potential both as individuals and as citizens of society.
