This research examines the comparison between Aristotelian Logic and Modern Logic from the perspective of Islamic education. It aims to understand their concepts, significant differences, the perspective of Islamic education, and their contribution to critical thinking. The study employs a philosophical-comparative approach. The findings indicate that Aristotelian Logic, with its deductive approach and syllogism, emphasizes universal truth and coherence. In contrast, Modern Logic focuses on symbolic formalism and empirical verification. Islamic education views logic as an epistemological tool to harmonize reason (`aql) and revelation (naql). The analysis reveals that integrating both logical systems is not only possible but also strategic. Their synthesis gives rise to "tawhidic rationality," a paradigm that combines analytical rigor with spiritual awareness. This integrative model significantly contributes to forming holistic critical thinking skills, where learners are not only intellectually proficient but also grounded in Islamic ethical and spiritual values. Consequently, this study provides a foundation for developing a more relevant Islamic education curriculum.

This article examines the pastoral phenomenon among the faithful, who firmly believe in the truth and infallibility of the Scriptures without feeling the need to interpret or explain the texts themselves. Based on limited interviews conducted, this study finds that this phenomenon does not arise from a lack of faith but rather from the Church’s teaching that emphasizes the authority of the Scriptures without allowing space for personal interpretation. The results of these interviews are combined with patristic sources and modern theological discussions to delve deeper into the integration of the truth of the Scriptures into the daily practice of the faithful. A tendency toward clerical interpretation has been found to hinder the sensus fidei, or the communal sense of faith, leading to an exaggerated fear of possibly misinterpreting the Scriptures. Therefore, an inclusive pastoral approach is needed, including through digital and catechetical media, to encourage the faithful to engage with the Scriptures within the bounds of ecclesiastical unity. This aims to ensure that the faith of the faithful is not only a matter of belief but is also practiced with true and comprehensive understanding.

This research aims to describe the forms and functions of representative speech acts found in the YouTube video “The Basic Concept of Understanding Humans” by Cania Citta. The study arises from the phenomenon of digital communication, which demonstrates a shift in speech patterns from merely delivering information to constructing intellectual discourse that is both reflective and argumentative. A descriptive qualitative method with a pragmatic approach was employed. The data, consisting of representative utterances, were collected through observation and note-taking techniques on video transcripts, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, which involves data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the dominant representative speech acts include stating, explaining, reporting, concluding, and speculating. Each utterance functions not only to convey information but also to build rational argumentation and foster critical awareness among audiences regarding the concept of humanity. Illocutionarily, these utterances perform informative, argumentative, and reflective functions, emphasizing the speaker’s epistemic responsibility toward the truth of the propositions delivered. The perlocutionary effects include an increased interest and heightened critical awareness among audiences concerning philosophical issues about human nature. This study contributes to the development of pragmatic studies, particularly in understanding the role of language as an instrument of knowledge and persuasion in digital media.

The development of digital technology has brought significant changes to product marketing and advertising patterns, particularly through social media platforms such as Instagram, which enable the rapid and wide dissemination of information. On the one hand, digitalization provides opportunities for business actors to promote their products in a more creative and interactive way. On the other hand, it also creates the potential for advertisements that may mislead consumers. In practice, there are still business actors who promote products that do not correspond to their actual conditions. Such misinformation can cause losses and raise issues related to consumer rights and the responsibilities of business actors. This study also analyzes dispute resolution related to misleading advertisements on social media. The method used is doctrinal legal research with a statutory approach (statute approach) and a case approach. The results of the study indicate that there are still advertising business actors who neglect consumers’ rights to truthful information about product conditions, and who fail to fulfill their obligations of good faith, providing accurate and honest information, and complying with standards stipulated in laws and regulations. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen supervision of the implementation of advertising ethics and enforce stricter law enforcement so that consumer rights can be protected and advertising practices on social media can be carried out responsibly.

The era of digital disruption has given birth to the phenomenon of post-truth and massive disinformation, which triggers sharp political polarization on social media, thereby threatening democratic stability and social integration in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of implementing Islamic political ethics (Siyasah Syar’iyah) and the transformation of Tabayyun values as instruments for mitigating information disorder in the digital public sphere. The rationale for this research is the urgent need for a robust ethical framework to complement technical-secular digital literacy, which has been deemed insufficient in curbing emotional sentiments and religious hoaxes. The research method employed is qualitative with a library research approach, integrating various contemporary scientific references from the last five years (2020-2025). The research findings indicate that Islamic political ethics offers a holistic solution through the reconstruction of transcendental values in cyberspace activities. The main finding (novelty) of this research is the "Cyber Activism Based on Amar Ma’ruf Nahi Munkar" model, which synergizes the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI), revelation-based media literacy, and moderate-characterized digital leadership. This model transforms netizens from mere information consumers into agents of "Digital Piety" who actively produce counter-narratives to create a civilized and integrated digital ecosystem.

Catholic moral teachings are not merely ethical codes, principles, rules, or prohibitions to prevent humans from falling into sin. Catholic morality has a solid foundation that originates from the Word of God.

The purpose of this study is to present the foundation of Catholic moral teachings so that believers know and are able to understand and implement them with the right and appropriate attitude. Thus, believers have a correct understanding. The method used is a literature study. The results of this study explain that Catholic morality is a response to the aspirations of the human heart for truth and goodness. Thus, this study offers clear and precise guidelines for when implemented to achieve the common good and welfare, namely bonum commune. Catholic morality is not an oppressive principle, but a practical guide to a good life.

Christian Religious Education (PAK) plays a crucial role in helping students develop faith based on the truth of God's Word. Therefore, a theological foundation plays a crucial role in the implementation of PAK, ensuring that educational activities are not only focused on knowledge transfer but also directed toward holistically shaping character and strengthening students' faith. This article aims to examine the theological foundation of Christian Religious Education in the process of developing students' faith based on Christian teachings. The method used in this study is literature analysis, examining various theological sources, the Bible, and writings related to Christian education. The findings of this study indicate that the theological foundation of PAK stems from God's calling as a true educator, the example of Jesus Christ as the Primary Teacher, and the role of the Holy Spirit in fostering and maintaining faith. Christian Religious Education based on strong theology can help students experience true growth in faith, internalize Christian values, and implement them in their daily lives.

This article explores mathematical logic as a fundamental discipline within mathematics that systematically investigates the principles of valid, coherent, and consistent reasoning. Mathematical logic serves as an essential foundation for developing structured thinking and constructing well-grounded, persuasive arguments supported by clear justification. It primarily focuses on the processes of reasoning, argumentation, and formal proof, enabling individuals to distinguish between valid and invalid conclusions. By establishing precise rules and logical structures, mathematical logic provides a rigorous framework for assessing the strength and consistency of arguments. The discipline emphasizes clarity, objectivity, and analytical accuracy in examining propositions and their relationships. In practice, mathematical logic is presented through the use of symbolic representations, formal logical statements, connectives, quantifiers, and truth tables to analyze patterns of reasoning and verify the truth values of statements. These systematic tools allow complex ideas to be evaluated methodically, prevent logical fallacies, and ensure that conclusions are derived from sound and demonstrable reasoning principles.

The criterion for students who have been able to think critically is when they can think systematically, besides having awareness in thinking, then they can see the difference between mistakes and truths. The purpose of this research is to measure the extent of students' ability to think critically on the completion of Higher Order Thinking Skill (HOTS) questions, especially in the subject of mathematics and social arithmetic material for grade VII students. This research is classified as qualitative descriptive research. The subjects involved were 6 students in grade VII D SMPN 3 Ngawi. The method used is qualitative descriptive with data analysis techniques using models from Miles & Huberman. Meanwhile, at the time of data collection, the instrument was in the form of 2 HOTS questions that were in accordance with the research subject. In data collection using tests and interviews, tests are used to measure cognitive competence while interviews are used as a follow-up to explore in depth related to students' answers. Based on a series of research processes, it can be proven that the students studied are divided into 3 categories of ability, namely low, medium, and high.

This research aims to examine in depth the essence of social moral values in QS. Ibrahim verses 44–47 are based on the interpretation of Buya Hamka in Tafsir Al-Azhar. This research uses a qualitative method with a library research approach and thematic interpretation analysis (maudhu'i). Primary data sources are in the form of the Qur'an and Tafsir Al-Azhar by Buya Hamka, while secondary data sources include relevant books of tafsir, books, and scientific journal articles. The data analysis technique is carried out through content analysis with the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and interpretive conclusions. The results of the study show that QS. Ibrahim verses 44–47 contain the main social moral values, including moral awareness, personal and collective responsibility, social justice, honesty, integrity, and belief in the certainty of Allah's promises (sunnatullah). Buya Hamka emphasized that tyranny, arrogance, and rejection of the truth are the main factors in the destruction of individuals and society, as shown through the stories of the previous people. These values are not only normative, but also applicable in social life. This study concludes that the internalization of the social moral values of QS. Ibrahim verses 44–47 are very important as an ethical foundation in building a just, responsible, and truth-oriented society.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a strategic role in economic development; however, their competitiveness is often constrained by weak branding and limited digital marketing capabilities.

The concept of science according to Ibn Rushd emphasizes the harmony between religion and philosophy, as well as the importance of using rational thinking methods to achieve the truth. He divides human intellectual abilities into three levels, namely rhetoric, dialectical, and demonstrative, and distinguishes science into theoretical and practical sciences. According to Ibn Rushd, knowledge is obtained through cooperation between the senses, imagination, and intellect, so that the human thought process must run systematically and logically. This research uses the library research method to examine the relevance of Ibn Rushd's thought to Islamic boarding school education in the modern era. The results of the study show that Ibn Rushd's ideas can be the basis for integration between religious science and science, encourage the strengthening of students' critical reasoning, and avoid scientific dichotomy. In addition, the application of his thinking has the potential to improve the quality of learning for Islamic boarding schools to be more contextual, inclusive, and adaptive to the development of science and technology. Thus, the concept of Ibn Rushd's knowledge can strengthen the direction of pesantren education towards a holistic and civilization-oriented education system.

This research analyzes the concept of Īmān (faith) according to Abū al-Mu'īn al-Nasafī (1027-1114 CE) in his work Al-Tamhīd fī Uṣūl al-Dīn. The study stems from the intellectual unrest and Fitnah that affected the Māturīdiyyah school in Mawarannahr, prompting al-Nasafī to become a key defender of the faith. The study utilizes library research with a descriptive-analytical and qualitative approach, analyzing both primary data from al-Nasafī’s work and secondary theological literature. The findings reveal al-Nasafī's views on Īmān: First, faith is a conviction of truth (Yaqīn) established in the heart towards God. Second, verbal affirmation and actions are symbolic and necessary for Islamic law but do not represent the essence of faith, which lies in the heart. Third, he rejects equating faith with deeds ('Amal), asserting that deeds and conviction are distinct, with conviction being stable and permanent, unlike actions. Al-Nasafī critiques earlier views, like those of al-Raqashī and others, who equated faith with mere verbal affirmation, deeming such views as hypocritical (Nifāq). His approach integrates reason ('Aql) and revelation (Waḥy), employing both Qur'anic texts (Bayānī) and rational arguments (Burhānī) to explain faith.

Social media, initially projected as a democratic discourse space, has instead become trapped in the echo chamber phenomenon, narrowing the intellectual horizons of its users. This research aims to analyze the echo chamber phenomenon on social media through the lens of Max Horkheimer’s critical theory, specifically the concept of the "Eclipse of Reason." The method used in this study is qualitative descriptive with a literature study and philosophical analysis approach. The results indicate that social media algorithms have shifted objective reason into instrumental reason, where truth is measured solely by efficacy and confirmation of personal beliefs. The analysis in this article concludes that social media functions as an "eclipse of reason" machine that stifles the critical reasoning abilities of individuals. This process occurs when reason is no longer used to critically dissect reality but serves merely as a technical tool to adapt to homogeneous information flows. The death of critical reason is not merely a technical byproduct of algorithms but a manifestation of the dominance of formal rationality that sidelines human values in the digital sphere.

The Bible teaches much about wisdom. It could even be said to be a book of wisdom. One of the wisdoms it teaches is honesty. The biblical definition of honesty encompasses various aspects of human life, including relationships with oneself, others, and God. Given the breadth of the discussion on honesty, the author limits the discussion to the book of Proverbs, the person and teachings of Jesus, the writings of Paul, and the story of honesty in the life of Joseph. n the Bible, honesty is a highly emphasized moral value. Honesty is not merely about not lying, but also encompasses sincerity of heart, truthfulness in words and deeds, and integrity in all aspects of life. The Bible provides numerous examples and teachings about the importance of honesty, both in human relationships and in our relationship with God. Honesty is not only about avoiding lies, but also about doing what is right and according to God's will.

The implementation of public communication ethics codes in governmental policies encounters complex challenges in achieving optimal transparency, accountability, and responsiveness standards. This qualitative research employs library research methodology to analyze the effectiveness of public communication ethics code implementation mechanisms through normative examination of official government communication practices. Systematic content analysis of regulations, policies, and communication practice documentation reveals significant disparities between normative idealities and operational realities in field implementation. Findings indicate structural, cultural, and technological factors serve as primary determinants of implementation success. The digital era and post-truth phenomena present additional complexities in managing ethical public communication. Technological adaptation inadequacies, institutional coordination fragmentation, and organizational commitment variations influence the consistency of communication ethics standard application. A comprehensive evaluation model integrating input-process-output-outcome dimensions is essential for measuring implementation effectiveness. Recommendations encompass institutional capacity strengthening, adaptive regulatory framework reformulation, and development of communicative accountability systems responsive to contemporary dynamics. This research contributes to developing theoretical frameworks for public communication ethics code implementation within Indonesian governmental governance contexts.

This study analyzes the urgency of digital expert testimony in strengthening the validity of electronic evidence in civil procedure law amid rapid technological transformation. The increasing use of digital communications, electronic transactions, and online documentation has given rise to new evidence in civil disputes, while its intangible and easily manipulated nature raises doubts about its authenticity and reliability. This study will focus on Decision Number 439 B/Pdt.Sus-Arbt/2016. The study relies on primary legal sources, legislation, court decisions, and secondary legal literature analyzed qualitatively. The findings show that electronic evidence is legally admissible when it meets the requirements of accessibility, integrity, authenticity, and accountability, but its probative value is highly dependent on technical validation. In the case analyzed, the petitioner's challenge to print the chat evidence was rejected because the allegations of manipulation were unsubstantiated and no expert testimony was presented to support the claim. This shows that expert testimony plays a decisive role in explaining technical aspects beyond the knowledge of the court and in strengthening the court's conviction. This study concludes that digital experts serve as a bridge between technological complexity and legal assessment, ensuring that digital evidence is evaluated objectively. The implication for courts and related parties is must prioritize the involvement of experts to promote legal certainty, factual truth, and fair dispute resolution.

The Islamic conception of science views knowledge as a unity originating from Allah SWT and directed towards realizing human welfare. Islamic science does not separate the rational, empirical, and spiritual dimensions, but rather integrates revelation, reason, and sensory experience in obtaining truth. Science from an Islamic perspective is understood as a human effort to read and understand the verses of kauniyah as a manifestation of God's power in the universe. This study aims to analyze the Islamic conception of science and its relationship with science, and examine the urgency of integrating the two in facing the challenges of modern science. The research method applied in this study is a literature study with a qualitative approach, through descriptive and interpretive analysis of various relevant literature sources. The research findings indicate that the integration between Islamic science and science plays a strategic role in overcoming the scientific dichotomy, strengthening the ethical foundation of science, and building a scientific paradigm oriented towards the values ​​of monotheism and humanity. Thus, the Islamic conception of science and science offers an alternative, holistic and sustainable scientific framework.

This study aims to analyze Paul as an educator through an epistemological and methodological examination of his letters, as well as an examination of his teaching style within the context of the early church. This research approach is qualitative theological, employing exegetical and hermeneutic analysis of New Testament texts, particularly Paul's letters. This analysis reveals that Paul's educational epistemology is rooted in his encounter with Christ as the source of all truth and spiritual knowledge. According to Paul, knowledge of faith is not the result of human rationality, but rather God's revelation, understood through the work of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:10–13). Methodologically, Paul demonstrates a dialogical, argumentative, relational, and transformative teaching approach. He uses logical and communicative rhetoric to guide the congregation in a reflective understanding of the Gospel and emphasizes the importance of living examples as a means of learning faith (1 Corinthians 11:1). Paul also developed a Christocentric and communitarian teaching style, where the church is seen as a living, mutually edifying space for learning about faith, centered on the love of Christ (Colossians 1:28; Ephesians 4:11–16). The results of this study indicate that education, from Paul's perspective, aims for life transformation, not merely the transfer of knowledge. Paul views education as a process of discipleship that produces new life in Christ (Romans 12:2; Galatians 2:20). Thus, Paul's educational model provides theological and practical contributions to contemporary Christian education, placing Christ at the center of epistemology and love as the primary method of teaching.
