This research uses a qualitative approach with a library research method, focusing on the development of pragmatic thinking in Western and Islamic traditions and its contribution to contemporary education. Data were obtained through literature reviews from books, scientific journals, and previous research results. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis techniques to identify similarities and differences in Western and Islamic pragmatic thinking. The results of the study indicate that Western pragmatism developed through Peirce, James, and Dewey, who emphasized truth based on practical consequences and usefulness in life. Islamic pragmatism, although not explicit, is reflected in the thoughts of Al-Ghazali and Ibn Khaldun, who combine revelation with empirical experience and public welfare. The contribution of pragmatism to contemporary education includes: (1) educational goals oriented towards social experiences and problem-solving; (2) the position of students as active subjects with growth capacity; (3) curriculum development that is flexible, experience-based, and adaptive to social changes. this research states that Western and Islamic pragmatism both provide important contributions to contemporary education, shifting the focus from knowledge transfer to the development of competencies and characters that are relevant.  

The development of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 to the Society 5.0 era presents new challenges for education, including Islamic Religious Education (PAI). PAI is required not only to transfer religious knowledge but also to shape character, morality, and 21st-century competencies. This study aims to examine the philosophical foundations, characteristics, and application of PAI learning models to ensure their relevance in modern education. The research employed a qualitative approach with a library research design, involving the exploration of primary and secondary literature, critical reading, systematic note-taking, and content analysis validated through triangulation of classical and contemporary sources. The findings indicate that PAI learning models are conceptual, theoretical, systematic, and rooted in religious, philosophical, psychological, and sociological foundations. Four main models behavioristic, information processing, social, and humanistic each have strengths and limitations, yet their integration is relevant to forming insan kamil, a holistic human being balanced in cognitive, affective, psychomotor, spiritual, and social aspects. Therefore, developing PAI learning models based on Islamic philosophy and adaptive to technological advancements is a strategic necessity to face global challenges.

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.

The rapid development of e-commerce as part of the broader digital transformation has introduced various new forms of transactions that were not explicitly recognized in classical Islamic jurisprudence. These include digital contracts, non-physical goods, cloud-based services, and electronic payment systems. Such innovations present a range of legal challenges, particularly concerning the validity of contracts, the legal status of digital products, the permissibility and security of electronic payment methods, and the protection of consumers in online transactions. To address these challenges, Islamic scholars have increasingly turned to ijtihad the process of independent reasoning and interpretation—as a methodology capable of providing legal solutions for contemporary issues. This study employs a qualitative approach, primarily through literature review, to examine the foundational principles of ijtihad, various methodological tools, and their applicability to different aspects of e-commerce transactions. The findings demonstrate that ijtihad methods, including qiyās (analogical reasoning), istislāh (consideration of public interest), istihsān (juridical preference), and ‘urf (customary practice), enable Islamic law to remain adaptive and flexible, while still oriented toward justice and public welfare. By applying these methods, Islamic jurisprudence can provide legal certainty, uphold fairness, and ensure that e-commerce practices align with Shariah principles, ultimately fostering trust and ethical behavior in the digital marketplace.

Islamic architecture in the archipelago cannot be understood as simply a transfer of physical forms from the Middle East to Southeast Asia. It is the result of a deep cultural dialogue between universal Islamic principles and local wisdom that has been formed since pre-Islamic times. When Islam spread in the archipelago, it did not exist as a force that negates Hindu, Buddhist, and vernacular traditions, but rather proceeded through visual and structural synthesis that gave birth to a distinctive and hybrid Islamic architectural identity. One of the most iconic manifestations of this process is the use of overlapping roofs in historic mosques such as the Great Mosque of Demak and the Great Mosque of Banten. Different from typical Persian or Mediterranean stone domes, this multi-storey wooden structure is inspired by the concept of Meru in Hindu-Javanese architecture. The choice is not only symbolic, but also a functional adaptation to the tropical climate, as it allows for efficient rainwater disposal as well as optimal natural ventilation. Spatially, the placement of mosques follows the concept of Catur Gatra Tunggal, which is the integration of mosques with squares, government centers, and markets. This pattern reflects the integration between the spiritual, political, and economic life of the community. In the interior, the use of Saka Guru shows the appointment of local construction techniques as the main element of worship buildings. Aspects of syncretism are also seen in ornamentation, where pre-Islamic figurative motifs are transformed into flora and calligraphy patterns that are in harmony with the principles of Islamic aniconism. Thus, the archipelago's Islamic architecture represents Islam as an inclusive and contextual force that is able to process local traditions into a sustainable new identity.

The development of digital information technology has fundamentally transformed the ways university students access and interpret religious information. Social media platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube have become primary spaces where students encounter diverse forms of religious content, ranging from educational dakwah to provocative narratives that may trigger tension and conflict. This phenomenon creates both opportunities and challenges for shaping religious moderation, particularly among first-semester students who are in the formative stage of constructing their intellectual and religious identities. This study aims to explore in depth the dynamics of religious moderation among first-semester students at IAINU Tuban within the context of digital polarization. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews, observations, and documentation as data collection techniques. Data were analyzed through thematic processes of reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that students exhibit high social media engagement and are frequently exposed to short dakwah content circulated through algorithmic mechanisms. However, they also confront digital polarization characterized by emotional disputes, informational bias, and negative perceptions of other religious groups. While students demonstrate an initial understanding of religious moderation—such as wisdom, tolerance, and resistance to provocation—they have not fully developed adequate religious digital literacy to critically evaluate extreme content. This research concludes that social media simultaneously serves as a medium for dakwah and a site of polarization, highlighting the need for systematic reinforcement of digital literacy and religious moderation within Islamic higher education. 

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.

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.

The wedding walimah is a religious tradition that has strong roots in Islamic teachings and continues to thrive in social practices. In the West Cengkareng area, the walimah tradition is not only understood as an expression of gratitude for the marriage contract, but also as a means of strengthening social solidarity and maintaining relationships. This study aims to analyze the wedding walimah tradition of the Cengkareng Barat community from the perspective of living hadith, which is to see how the Prophet's hadith is understood and manifested in the context of local culture. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that the practice of walimah is based on the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad, which encourages the holding of walimah, even if it is simple. In practice, walimah has undergone local cultural acculturation, both in terms of the form of the banquet and the series of events. This study concludes that the tradition of wedding walimah in West Cengkareng is a form of hadith that is alive and dynamic in the community.

The tradition of mohataman Al-Qur'an is one of the religious practices that is alive and thriving among Indonesian Muslims, especially during Ramadan in preparation for Eid al-Fitr. In Kampung Pos Sentul, this tradition is carried out collectively by the community as a form of gratitude for the completion of fasting and as a means of strengthening Islamic brotherhood. This study aims to examine the tradition of mohataman Al-Qur'an from the perspective of living hadith, which is to see how the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad is understood, internalized, and manifested in the social-religious practices of the community. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach, through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that the tradition of mohataman Al-Qur'an is based on the community's understanding of the hadiths about the virtues of reading the Qur'an, the encouragement to increase acts of worship during Ramadan, and the importance of togetherness in doing good. This tradition is not only ritualistic in nature, but also has social, educational, and spiritual dimensions that strengthen the religious identity of the Pos Sentul Village community. Thus, mohataman Al-Qur'an can be understood as a form of actualization of hadith in real life that continues to live on and is passed down from generation to generation.

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.

The Qur’an and Hadith, as the primary sources of Islamic teachings, provide a comprehensive value framework regarding the ideal character that should be possessed by both educators and learners. Educators are required to demonstrate sincerity, patience, justice, noble character, and to serve as role models (uswah hasanah) for their students. Education is a fundamental pillar in the formation of individual character and personality. This study aims to examine and analyze the concepts of attitudes and personality of educators and learners based on the Qur’an and Hadith. The method employed is a literature review using a qualitative approach through the analysis of relevant Qur’anic verses and Prophetic traditions. The results of the study indicate that learners are individuals who strive to develop their potential through the learning process within educational pathways, both formal and non-formal, at certain levels and types of education. Among the ethics of learners toward educators are sitting politely in front of the teacher, speaking respectfully, not interrupting the teacher while speaking, listening attentively to the teacher’s explanations, asking questions gently and respectfully when something is not understood, attending school regularly, avoiding truancy and lateness without valid reasons, entering the classroom promptly before the teacher arrives, and obeying the teacher’s advice.

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) faces serious challenges from the crisis of integrity and trust in the digital era, which is manifested in the weakening of social solidarity (ukhuwah) and the emergence of a toxic social environment due to disinformation and fragility of commitment. This study aims to analyze and formulate an implementation model for the values ​​of Shiddiq (honesty and truth) and Amanah (trustworthiness and responsibility) in PAI, as well as to examine their role in building Ukhuwah and a Positive Social Environment among students. The method used is library research with a qualitative-analytical approach, involving a critical review of relevant scientific literature, journals, and books. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of these two prophetic values ​​must be carried out transformatively through integrated Project Based Learning (PjBL) and Problem Based Learning (PBL) methods, not merely cognitive transfer, but through real practice. The value of Shiddiq plays a central role in building trust and countering hoaxes, while Amanah ensures commitment and social responsibility, which collectively strengthen the bonds of ukhuwah. These findings imply the urgency of developing an Islamic Religious Education (PAI) curriculum that is responsive to digital ethics and strengthens teacher exemplary behavior (uswah hasanah) as a model of integrity. It is recommended that future research conduct empirical tests of the proposed implementation model to strengthen the generalizability of the findings.

The professional competence of Islamic Education (PAI) teachers plays a decisive role in determining the quality of learning at the elementary school level. In practice, many teachers still encounter challenges in mastering subject content, developing systematic teaching materials, applying innovative learning strategies, and integrating educational technology into classroom activities. These conditions indicate the need for structured professional development efforts through collaborative forums. This study aims to analyze the role of the Islamic Education Teachers Working Group (KKG PAI) in maximizing the professional competence of PAI teachers in public elementary schools in Panti District, Pasaman Regency, and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors influencing its implementation. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation involving the KKG supervisor, the head of KKG PAI, and member teachers. Data analysis was conducted using an interactive model consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that KKG PAI functions as a strategic platform for collaborative lesson planning, subject-matter enrichment, peer reflection, and technology-based instructional training. Supporting factors include strong teacher commitment and collaborative culture, while limitations in facilities and technological disparities remain challenges. Strengthening the sustainability and management of KKG programs is essential to enhance teachers’ professional competence and improve the overall quality of Islamic education learning.

The purpose of this study is to develop teaching materials in the form of interactive textbooks on the subject of Rukun Iman (the Five Pillars of Islam) for MIS NU students in Palangkaraya City. The motive for this study is the need for more contextual and relevant teaching resources on Aqidah Akhlak (Islamic beliefs and morals) in order to optimize students' understanding. The ADDIE development model, which includes the phases of needs analysis, product design, development, implementation, and evaluation, was used in this study. Validation was carried out by subject matter experts, design experts, and educators as practitioners to ensure the suitability of the product. Based on the validation results, subject matter experts and designers consistently rated the teaching materials as “very feasible” in terms of media functionality, visual appeal, and material completeness. Improved learning outcomes through pre- and post-tests, as well as a feasibility rate of 93.02%, were demonstrated during implementation in a field test with 30 second-grade students. Moderate to significant learning gains were shown by N-Gain analysis. The findings prove the effectiveness of interactive learning books in improving students' understanding of the Five Pillars of Islam and providing alternative teaching resources that are more interesting and easier to understand. It is hoped that this publication will serve as a guide for educators in Islamic elementary schools to maximize the teaching of Aqidah Akhlak.

Anemia among adolescent girls is one of the health problems that is often overlooked, even though it has serious impacts on learning concentration, productivity, and reproductive health in the future. One of the main causes of anemia is iron deficiency and an unbalanced diet. This community service activity aims to increase adolescent girls’ knowledge about anemia prevention through health promotion using poster media with the approach of “Smart Nutrition for Iron Health.” The activity was carried out at Pesantren Al-Mubarak 12 November 2025, targeting 34 adolescent girls. The method included planning, preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages, with pre-test and post-test conducted to assess participants’ knowledge levels. The results showed a significant increase in adolescents’ knowledge regarding anemia prevention. Before the activity, 55% of respondents had poor knowledge, 35% moderate, and only 10% good. After the intervention, 75% of respondents had good knowledge and 25% moderate, with no respondents in the poor category. These results indicate that poster media is effective in increasing adolescents’ understanding of anemia and the importance of consuming a balanced diet rich in iron as an effort to prevent anemia among adolescent girls.

The age of 4-6 years is an age that is vulnerable to disease because it is at this age that children's motoric starts to be active. Without realizing it, what children do is often close to germs that can cause diseases such as flu, cough, diarrhea. Hand washing is the process of mechanically removing dirt and dust from the skin surface and reducing the number of microorganisms. The purpose of hand washing is to eliminate the number of microorganisms. This activity is carried out through the means of joint learning activities in the form of face-to-face in groups, given counseling, including: material and practice of wet hand washing with running water and soap and dry hand washing with a hand sanitaizer. The results of this activity were analyzed using a fun learning method. The data used is numerical data from the observation of hand washing skills checklist. From the test results there is an effect of providing counseling on hand washing techniques on the hand washing skills of kindergarten students. The habit of washing hands using soap from an early age, it is hoped that later they will become a generation that is aware of the importance of cleanliness, not only personal hygiene, but also environmental hygiene. Not only that, with this simple thing that is done regularly and purposefully, children will later learn to do other habits correctly. One way to prevent children from getting sick is by washing hands. This handwashing habit should be instilled since.

This community service program aims to optimize construction project planning through assistance in preparing a business feasibility study at PT Sahabat Anugrah Sejati. The construction sector is a strategic industry that requires effective resource management, proper risk mitigation, and accurate planning to ensure project success. Therefore, the program supported the partner in analyzing financial, managerial, market, and economic aspects prior to making investment decisions for the proposed project. The results show that the project is feasible based on the Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) analyses. An efficient organizational structure, a competent management team, and strong supervision mechanisms further strengthen the project’s operational readiness. Increasing demand for construction services also enhances the company’s market prospects. However, several areas still require improvement, including heavy equipment utilization, material efficiency, and digital marketing strategies. This program provides strategic recommendations to help PT Sahabat Anugrah Sejati improve project feasibility, operational effectiveness, and long-term business sustainability.

To improve the competitiveness and well-being of local communities, the growth of community-based village tourism requires the assistance of digital technology. Although Sugihen Village has significant potential for natural and cultural tourism, the use of digital technology in tourism administration and promotion is still minimal. The objective of this community service project is to utilize digital technology to transform community-based tourism in Sugihen Village. The approach used was Participatory Action Research (PAR), which included the stages of needs analysis, digital literacy training and capacity building, implementation of digital tourism technology, mentoring, monitoring, and evaluation. The results of the community service included increased community digital literacy, a stronger position of the Pokdarwis institution in tourism management, and a shift in community perspectives on the use of digital technology as a consequence of the community service activities. In addition to being a marketing tool, digital technology also empowers the community in independent and sustainable tourism management. This activity concluded that the independence of the Sugihen Village community can be strengthened and community-based tourism can be transformed through the use of digital technology accompanied by a participatory approach.
