In this study, we will discuss the concept of Islamic education from Buya Hamka's perspective. Buya Hamka was an Indonesian Muslim cleric and scholar with a profound perspective on the relationship between knowledge, faith, and morality. The purpose of this study is to analyze aspects of Islamic education according to Buya Hamka and their relevance to the modern education system. This research was conducted using a qualitative descriptive approach, drawing on relevant academic literature such as journals, books, and articles. This research concludes that Buya Hamka views Islamic education as an effort to shape a holistic human being, balancing spiritual, intellectual, moral, and social aspects. Hamka emphasized that education is not only intended to cultivate the intellect but also to purify the heart and develop noble character. According to Hamka, Islamic education must be grounded in monotheism, direct educators as role models of morality, and integrate religious and intellectual knowledge for the benefit of the community. Buya Hamka's perspective is sufficient to address the challenges of modern education, which tends to focus on academic values ​​without considering the instilling of moral and spiritual values.

The increasing intensity of business competition requires companies to maintain strong financial conditions to avoid financial distress that may disrupt business continuity. This study aims to assess the financial stability and predict the potential bankruptcy of PT Sido Muncul Tbk for the 2022–2024 period using the Altman Z-Score model. A descriptive quantitative approach was applied, utilizing secondary data obtained from annual reports published by the Indonesia Stock Exchange and the company’s official website. Five key ratios in the Altman model were used as indicators to evaluate the company’s financial position and resilience. The results show Z-Score values of 4.74 in 2022, decreasing slightly to 4.66 in 2023, and rising again to 4.79 in 2024. These scores are significantly above the safe threshold of 2.675, indicating that the company is in a healthy financial state with a very low risk of bankruptcy. Overall, PT Sido Muncul Tbk demonstrates stable financial performance, supported by a strong capital structure and consistent operational results. The Altman Z-Score model also proves to be an effective early-warning tool for identifying potential financial problems.

Traditional food is a national asset. It not only serves as a source of energy for the community, but also serves as a form of food security, an economic driver, a source of healthy food, and a culture steeped in noble values. The widespread consumption of unhealthy foods by students, especially elementary school students, is one of the reasons for this outreach activity. The health issues surrounding junk food must be addressed by offering healthy alternatives, such as traditional foods. Traditional food is not only related to food, but can also be linked to ethnomathematics, where culture in the form of food is studied from a mathematical perspective. Elementary school students not only consume traditional foods but also interpret these foods in mathematical contexts, such as geometry and numbers. In this way, students will be able to visualize mathematical elements not only when reading math textbooks but also when consuming traditional foods that are part of their daily environment. Despite their traditional nature, students actually enjoy some traditional foods. This is a frequent conflict between the current generation and traditional culture. They better understand how to prepare traditional foods, appreciate the richness of local culture, and develop a love for their culture and homeland.

This study is entitled “The Ecofeminist Movement of Mollo Indigenous Women in Rejecting Marble Mining (study: Rejection of Marble Mining in Fatumnasi Village, South Central Timor Regency)” which aims to understand and analyze the ecofeminist movement carried out by Mollo indigenous women in rejecting marble mining activities in Fatumnasi Village. The presence of marble mining in the Mollo indigenous area has posed a threat to Environmental sustainability, water sources, and cultural values that have long been the identity of the community. Through a descriptive qualitative approach, this study describes the role and form of resistance of Mollo indigenous women based on the ecological relationship between women and nature. Data were obtained through in-diepah interviews, field observations, and documentation of the head of Fatumnasi Village, traditional women’s figures, religious figures, community leaders, and youth leaders. The results of the study indicate that the movement to reject marble mining is not merely a form of protest against environmental damage, but also a form of ecofeminist awareness that emphasizes that women’s bodies and the body of nature are an inseparable whole. This movement is expressed through various acts of resistance such as traditional rituals, weaving, demonstrations, and customary deliberations, each carrying symbolic meaning about the harmony between humans and nature. Based on Françoise d’Eaubonne’s theory of ecofeminism, the Mollo women’s movement reflects critical awareness toward patriarchal and capitalist systems that exploit both women and the environment. Thus, it can be concluded that the ecofeminist movement of Mollo indigenous women in rejecting marble mining is a form of women’s struggle to maintain environmental sustainability and maintain cultural identity through loclah wisdom practices.Ecofeminism, Mollo Indigenous Women, Marble Mining, Fatumnasi Village, Environment

The tradition of Ketupat Qunutan on the 15th night of Ramadan in Kampung Pinang, Tangerang City, is a religious practice of the Muslim community that integrates congregational qunut prayers, the making and distribution of ketupat as a symbol of gratitude, almsgiving, purity of heart, and brotherhood. Through a living hadith study approach, this research analyzes how the values of the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, such as communal prayer, food charity, and strengthening Islamic brotherhood, are contextualized within the local culture of the archipelago without a literal textual basis, but rather as a harmonious actualization between Islamic teachings and traditional wisdom. The findings show the dynamics of religious understanding between textual and contextual approaches, in which this tradition strengthens social solidarity, mutual cooperation, and the transmission of the Islamic identity of the archipelago, while also functioning as effective cultural da'wah without contradicting sharia law. This study contributes to the study of Islamic anthropology and living sunnah, affirming cultural acculturation as a form of religious expression that is alive and relevant.

This study explores community social activities within the tradition of Wayang Golek performances as a form of living hadith in the city of Bogor. The Wayang Golek tradition reflects the practical implementation of the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad SAW in the daily lives of the Sundanese community. Using a qualitative approach, the study involved participant observation and in-depth interviews with puppeteers and audience members. The findings indicate that Wayang Golek performances function not only as cultural entertainment but also as an indirect medium for strengthening moral values, mutual cooperation, and Islamic preaching. Social activities surrounding the performances include communal interaction, preservation of local culture, and reinforcement of religious identity amid the challenges of modernization. The study further reveals that the concept of living hadith is embodied in wayang narratives that convey ethical messages aligned with the sunnah of the Prophet. These findings highlight the importance of revitalizing local cultural traditions as an effective medium for contemporary Islamic education and value transmission.

Education in Islam plays a vital role in developing human potential holistically, where knowledge serves as the primary indicator of an individual's quality. This study aims to examine the virtue of knowledgeable people from the Quranic perspective, focusing on the theological and pedagogical analysis of Surah Al-Mujadalah verse 11. The method employed is descriptive qualitative through library research with a thematic exegesis (tafsir) approach. The results indicate that QS. Al-Mujadalah verse 11 establishes a hierarchy of human dignity based on the integration of faith and knowledge, rather than social or material status. These findings confirm that the elevation of rank encompasses a worldly dimension in the form of moral authority and an otherworldly dimension in the form of high positions before Allah. The implications of this research for contemporary Islamic education emphasize the importance of eliminating the dichotomy between religious and general sciences to cultivate the insan kamil (perfect human), who possesses a balance of intellectual intelligence, spiritual depth, and social responsibility. The study concludes that the virtue of knowledge in Islam is always grounded in transcendental values that bridge theory, faith, and practical deeds.

Arabic holds an important position in Islamic education as the language of the Qur'an and Hadith. However, the teaching of Arabic in Islamic educational institutions often focuses only on linguistic aspects, thus not fully achieving the goals of comprehensive Islamic education. This study aims to analyze the strengthening of Arabic language education objectives from the perspective of Islamic Tarbiyah. The method used in this study is qualitative, with a literature study and descriptive analysis approach. The analysis was conducted on relevant sources. The findings indicate that Arabic education within the framework of Islamic Tarbiyah not only emphasizes mastery of language skills but also the importance of shaping students' faith, morals, and Islamic character. The integration of tarbawi values into the objectives, materials, methods, and evaluation of learning becomes a key element in creating Arabic language education that is valuable and aligned with the goals of Islamic education. Its implications are expected to serve as a reference for curriculum development, teacher competence improvement, as well as the formulation of contextual, integrative, and sustainable Arabic language learning policies in national Islamic educational institutions.

Incest is a form of sexual violence that not only violates social and religious norms but also causes serious physical and mental health impacts on victims. In the context of Islamic law, incest is considered a heinous act that violates sharia and may be subject to hudud or ta'zir punishment. Meanwhile, in public health, incest is viewed as an issue that poses long-term risks, such as genetic disorders, psychological trauma, and socio-economic consequences. This study aims to examine prevention strategies for incest through a holistic approach combining Islamic legal principles and public health perspectives. The method used is qualitative research with a normative literature review and descriptive-analytical approach. The findings indicate that incest prevention can be achieved through strengthening religious values within families, sharia-based sexual education, and improving mental health services and case reporting systems in the community. The implications of this study highlight the importance of synergy between religious institutions, healthcare professionals, and public policy in establishing effective and sustainable incest prevention systems.

Solid waste management in Makassar City constitutes a strategic issue that extends beyond technical and administrative concerns to encompass legal, ethical, and socioreligious dimensions. Although the local government has established regulatory frameworks and policy instruments for waste management, empirical conditions reveal a persistent gap between legal norms and their implementation, as reflected in high waste generation rates, weak source segregation, limited public participation, and increasing pressure on landfill capacity. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of waste management in Makassar City from the perspective of Islamic law and to examine the potential integration of Sharia principles in strengthening sustainable environmental governance. The research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design based on policy analysis, literature review, and theoretical synthesis of Islamic legal doctrines, particularly maqāṣid al-sharīʿah and fiqh al-bī’ah. The findings indicate that, despite the existence of adequate local legal instruments, waste management practices remain ineffective due to insufficient internalization of ethical values, weak law enforcement, and limited behavioral change within society. From the perspective of Islamic law, these conditions demonstrate the incomplete realization of the principles of amanah (trust and responsibility), maslahah (public interest), and the prevention of harm (lā ḍarar wa lā ḍirār) in both governmental practice and public conduct, thereby undermining the objectives of protecting human life and the environment. The implications of this research highlight the importance of synergizing positive law and Islamic legal principles to promote environmentally sustainable governance oriented toward long-term public welfare.  

The development of lanthanum-doped barium hexaferrite materials has attracted considerable attention in the field of functional materials, particularly as electromagnetic wave absorbers. This literature review aims to analyze advances in synthesis methods, structural characteristics, magnetic properties, and electromagnetic absorption performance of lanthanum-doped barium hexaferrite reported in various studies. Synthesis techniques such as sol–gel, coprecipitation, solid-state reaction, and hydrothermal methods are compared to evaluate their effects on crystallite size, morphology, and phase purity. Lanthanum doping is known to modify lattice parameters, reduce coercivity, and enhance complex permittivity and permeability, which play crucial roles in absorption mechanisms. Furthermore, variations in dopant concentration significantly influence reflection loss values and effective absorption bandwidth. The reviewed literature indicates that optimization of composition and synthesis routes can produce materials with high absorption capability, good stability, and strong potential for application in electromagnetic interference mitigation devices. This review is expected to serve as a conceptual reference for future development of lanthanum-doped barium hexaferrite–based electromagnetic wave absorbing materials. The comparative approach also highlights research challenges, industrial application opportunities, and future research directions relevant to the evolving demands of modern communication and defense technologies at both national and global levels.

This study examines the implementation of an Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning model based on Project-Based Learning (PjBL) and collaborative approaches in shaping students’ noble character at SD Negeri Besuk Kidul, Besuk District. The study is grounded in the research gap that PAI learning in elementary schools is often still dominated by conventional, teacher-centered methods that emphasize cognitive achievement while providing limited space for the internalization of moral values through authentic learning experiences. This research aims to analyze how PjBL and collaborative learning are designed and implemented in PAI instruction and to explore their contribution to students’ character development. A qualitative approach with a descriptive case study design was employed. The research subjects included the school principal, a PAI teacher, and elementary school students. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using an interactive data analysis model. The findings reveal that the integration of project-based and collaborative learning in PAI instruction enhances students’ noble character, particularly in terms of honesty, discipline, responsibility, cooperation, respect, and social awareness. Students actively engage in learning activities, apply Islamic values in real-life contexts, and demonstrate positive behavioral changes both in and outside the classroom. These results indicate that Project-Based Learning and collaborative approaches constitute an effective and meaningful strategy for strengthening character education in PAI at the elementary school level.

This study discusses the relevance and role of hybrid learning strategies as a conceptual solution to the crisis of effectiveness in traditional fiqh learning in Islamic boarding schools in the digital age. The background of this study stems from the problem of declining efficiency and interactivity of classical learning methods such as sorogan and bandongan amid technological developments that demand pedagogical innovation. This study aims to analyze theoretically how the integration of traditional pesantren values and modern learning approaches can be applied without eliminating spiritual identity and scientific sanad. The method used is library research with a descriptive-analytical approach through a review of the latest scientific literature on Islamic education and hybrid learning. The results show that a hybrid learning model based on synchronous and asynchronous approaches can increase flexibility, effectiveness, and student participation in the learning process, while maintaining personal relationships with teachers. The theoretical implications enrich the concept of integrating Islamic education and technology, while the practical implications offer an adaptive curriculum model for Islamic boarding schools to respond to the challenges of the digital age without abandoning Islamic values.

This study aims to understand the meaning of adaptive leadership in modern organizations facing transformations in work culture during the era of disruption. Using a phenomenological qualitative approach within the social constructivist paradigm, this research explores the lived experiences of leaders in interpreting change, uncertainty, and human values amid digitalization and organizational complexity. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and non-participant observation involving eight leaders from various industrial sectors in Indonesia and were analyzed using Colaizzi’s phenomenological analysis technique. The findings reveal that adaptive leadership is understood as a reflective and social process rooted in value awareness, empathy, and collective learning capacity. Adaptive leaders not only direct change but also facilitate learning and build trust through open communication and collaborative work cultures. Adaptive values such as flexibility, empathy, and moral reflection are key to shaping inclusive and sustainable organizational cultural transformation. Theoretically, this study extends the discourse on adaptive leadership within phenomenological and social contexts, while practically emphasizing the importance of value-based reflective leadership in navigating disruptive change.

This study aims to understand how the spirit of innovation and the meaning of entrepreneurship are constructed through the lived experiences of startup business actors in the digital economy era. Using a qualitative narrative inquiry approach within the social constructivist paradigm, this research explores how startup entrepreneurs interpret innovation, resilience in the face of failure, and social responsibility as integral parts of their entrepreneurial identity. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and document analysis of startups in the technology, education, and creative economy sectors in Indonesia. Narrative thematic analysis reveals that innovation is understood not merely as a business strategy but also as a form of self-expression and the construction of entrepreneurial identity. Failure is perceived as a reflective learning process that shapes resilience and generates new meaning in the entrepreneurial journey. Moreover, entrepreneurship is interpreted as a meaningful journey that integrates economic goals with social and moral values. The digital ecosystem functions as a social space where entrepreneurial values are negotiated, shared, and reinforced through interaction and collaboration. These findings affirm that entrepreneurship in the digital era is a social process involving creativity, ethical reflection, and sustainable innovation. Theoretically, this study contributes to expanding the understanding of entrepreneurship as a social practice, while practically emphasizing the importance of reflective learning and value awareness in building a sustainable and meaningful startup ecosystem for society.

The increasing demand for paper has led to a shortage of wood-based raw materials, thus requiring environmentally friendly alternatives. This study aims to analyze the physical, mechanical, and morphological characteristics of paper made from cassava peels (Manihot esculenta Crantz) and oil palm fruit fibers (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) as eco-friendly paper raw materials. The research method involved pulp preparation through delignification using 3.5% HNO₃ and 3% NaOH, bleaching with 10% H₂O₂, paper sheet formation with varying compositions (A = 70:30, B = 50:50, C = 30:70, D = 10:90), followed by grammage testing and tensile strain testing. The results showed that the grammage values ranged between 96.3–99.7 g/m², while tensile strain ranged between 2.6–4.4%. The study concluded that the best composition was found in sample C (30% cassava peel : 70% palm fiber) with a grammage of 98.5 g/m² and tensile strain of 3.2%. The implication of this study is that cassava peel and palm fiber waste have the potential to serve as alternative paper raw materials that meet the quality standards of A-grade printing paper (SNI 7274:2008), while also supporting the reduction of dependence on wood.

This study examines the implementation of Servant Leadership within GMIM Syalom Lelema and its influence on congregational attendance in worship fellowship. Rooted in the theological model of leadership exemplified by Jesus Christ, Servant Leadership emphasizes humility, empathy, presence, and service as core leadership values. Using a qualitative case-study approach, data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation to understand the relational dynamics between church leaders and congregational participation. The findings reveal that the congregation highly values leaders—pastors, elders, and deacons—who demonstrate genuine care, pastoral presence, and willingness to serve. Acts of pastoral visitation, listening to members’ struggles, and showing humility significantly strengthen emotional and spiritual bonds within the community, resulting in higher attendance and engagement in various worship activities. Conversely, leaders who lack servant-like attitudes tend to receive weaker responses from the congregation, which negatively impacts their participation in worship. The study concludes that Servant Leadership is not merely a theological ideal but a practical necessity within the communal culture of GMIM Syalom Lelema. The model effectively fosters stronger relationships, increases congregational commitment, and enhances the vitality of church fellowship. Keywords: Servant Leadership, Pastoral Ministry, Worship Attendance, Ecclesial Leadership, GMIM Syalom Lelema.

This study investigates how Lembaga Musik Pervagatus, a group that does not display Islamic identity, creates an Islamic musical image when performing at religious events in Islamic campuses.  This study investigates how visual elements, song selection, and stage interaction influence audience perception. It does so using qualitative methods through interviews and performance observations.  How the band's performative identity is influenced by attributes such as appearance, personality, cultural values, and audience relations is studied using Kapferer's Brand Identity Prism model.  Conversely, Stuart Hall's theory of representation helps explain how Islamic meaning emerges in the context of events. The results show that the image of Islamic music attached to Pervagatus does not originate from the band's original identity; rather, it is a construction of meaning influenced by the context of religious events and the audience's interpretation of the song ‘Maulana Ya Maulana’ that they performed.  This perception was further reinforced by their neat, polite, and enthusiastic appearance.  The results show that the relationship between performance, context, and audience interpretation shapes the image of Islamic music on campus.
