This study aims to analyze the implementation of market ethics from the perspective of Islamic economics on the behavior of business actors at Mandiri Jaya Jatimulyo Market, South Lampung Regency. Islamic market ethics are viewed as a moral instrument that guides economic activities to operate fairly, honestly, and oriented toward public welfare. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving business actors actively engaged in daily market transactions. The findings reveal that Islamic market ethical values, such as honesty, transparency, and moral responsibility, have been applied in trading practices; however, their implementation remains partial and largely dependent on individual moral awareness. Religiosity, economic pressure, the social environment of the market, and the level of Islamic economic literacy are identified as key factors influencing ethical behavior. This study concludes that strengthening Islamic market ethics in traditional markets requires a comprehensive approach involving continuous education, the development of an ethical market culture, and institutional support to ensure sustainable internalization of Islamic values.

Tawhid education is a fundamental aspect of Islamic education that serves as the foundation for the formation of faith and individual religious character. The family plays a crucial role as the primary educational environment in instilling the values of Tawhid from an early age. However, in modern social realities, the role of families in Tawhid education often faces various challenges, necessitating support from non-formal Islamic educational institutions. This study aims to describe the role of families in Tawhid education through their involvement in the Majlis Taklim ‘Izzatin Nisa Tangerang. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation of the Majlis Taklim administrators, the congregation, and ongoing learning activities. The results show that families play an active role in Tawhid education through parental role models, the habit of worship at home, and the strengthening of understanding of the faith gained from the Majlis Taklim activities. The Majlis Taklim ‘Izzatin Nisa serves as an educational tool that strengthens the congregation's understanding of Tawhid and encourages its implementation in family life. Thus, the synergy between families and religious study groups has been proven to contribute to strengthening monotheism education and building religious awareness within the community.

Learning concentration is an important factor in supporting students’ academic success, particularly in Biology study programs that require high levels of accuracy and analytical skills. Learning concentration is influenced by various factors, including sleep quality and dietary patterns. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between sleep quality and dietary patterns and the level of learning concentration among Biology students of class T.BIO1/2022 at Universitas Islam Negeri Sumatera Utara. This study employed an analytic observational approach with a cross sectional design. The research sample consisted of 23 students selected using a total sampling technique. The research instruments included questionnaires on sleep quality, dietary patterns, and learning concentration. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and using cross tabulation. The results showed that students with good sleep quality and regular dietary patterns tended to have higher levels of learning concentration compared to those with poor sleep quality and irregular dietary patterns. Therefore, sleep quality and dietary patterns are important factors that need to be considered to support students’ learning concentration.  

This study was motivated by the low levels of student motivation and cognitive learning outcomes in the Islamic Education (PAI) subject at SMK Pasundan 1 and SMK Bunga Persada Cianjur. The phenomenon was identified through preliminary observations showing that 45% of students scored below the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM) and demonstrated low engagement during the learning process. The school’s efforts to improve student motivation and learning outcomes have not been optimal, as teaching methods and media are still largely limited to conventional approaches. Therefore, innovation in learning through the use of technology-based interactive multimedia such as Google Classroom, YouTube, and Quizizz is needed to create more engaging and effective learning experiences. The objectives of this study were to identify: (1) the implementation of Google Classroom, YouTube, and Quizizz multimedia in PAI learning; (2) students’ learning motivation; (3) students’ cognitive learning outcomes; (4) the influence of multimedia implementation on students’ learning motivation; (5) the influence of multimedia implementation on students’ cognitive learning outcomes; and (6-8) the qualitative findings that expand and deepen the quantitative results regarding multimedia implementation, learning motivation, and cognitive learning outcomes at SMK Pasundan 1 and SMK Bunga Persada Cianjur. This research employed a Mixed Methods approach using a sequential explanatory design, combining quantitative and qualitative methods in sequence. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, observations, and document analysis.

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.

This study aims to analyze the role of Gujarat, India, as a major hub in the dynamics of the Islamization of the Indonesian Archipelago (Nusantara) and its impact on the formation of a distinctive Southeast Asian Muslim identity. This research employs a library research method by examining various primary and secondary sources, including historical manuscripts, travel accounts, archaeological findings, and relevant scholarly books and journal articles. The findings indicate that the arrival and spread of Islam in the Nusantara around the thirteenth century were strongly influenced by Muslim traders from Gujarat, who functioned not only as economic agents but also as carriers of religious and cultural values. The process of Islamization occurred relatively peacefully through trade networks, intermarriage, Islamic education, and political alliances with local rulers. The dominance of Sufistic teachings, which were adaptive and accommodative to local cultural traditions, facilitated a process of cultural inculturation that enabled Islam to be accepted without significant social conflict. This interaction produced a moderate and syncretic form of Islam, reflected in religious practices, local traditions, and Islamic architectural forms across the region. The study concludes that the Islamization of the Nusantara was a continuous process of cultural dialogue that shaped a tolerant, contextual, and harmonious Muslim identity in Southeast Asia, distinguishing it from Middle Eastern Islamic traditions.

Financial purity is a fundamental principle in Islamic economics that emphasizes the management of assets in a halal, fair, and responsible manner in accordance with sharia provisions. In the context of Islamic financial institutions, zakat plays a strategic role as an instrument for the purification of assets (tazkiyat al-mal) and as a mechanism for wealth redistribution to achieve social justice. This study aims to analyze the role of zakat in maintaining the financial purity of Islamic financial institutions. The research method used is a quantitative approach with an explanatory design. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to managers and related parties in Islamic financial institutions that have zakat management programs. The research variables include zakat management as the independent variable and financial purity as the dependent variable, which were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The results of this study indicate that zakat management has a positive and significant impact on the financial sanctity of Islamic financial institutions, primarily through increased sharia compliance, transparency, and institutional accountability. This finding confirms that zakat serves not only as an obligatory act of worship but also as a strategic instrument in strengthening the ethics, legitimacy, and social responsibility of Islamic financial institutions. This research is expected to provide theoretical and practical contributions to the development of sustainable zakat governance in the Islamic financial system.

This study examines students’ understanding and application of Qawāʿid al-Fiqhiyyah in their daily muamalah practices and its implications for their ethical behavior. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research involved twenty students who provided data through questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and observations. The findings indicate that most students possess a solid understanding of the function of legal maxims as general principles guiding Islamic legal reasoning and as analytical tools for addressing contemporary issues. They are able to apply Qawāʿid al-Fiqhiyyah in various modern activities, such as digital transactions, social interactions, and financial management, which helps them act with greater caution, fairness, and responsibility. Nevertheless, several challenges remain, including difficulties in understanding Arabic terminology, limited contextual examples, and environments that do not always support consistent application. This study concludes that strengthening practical understanding and contextual learning is essential for Qawāʿid al-Fiqhiyyah to function effectively as a moral and Sharia-based guide for students navigating the complexities of modern life.

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing people's decisions to use a Home Ownership Credit (KPR) with a murabahah contract at a sharia bank in Tebing Tinggi City. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques through observation, in depth interviews, and documentation of people who have used the murabahah KPR product. Informants were selected purposively to obtain relevant and in depth data. The results show that people's decisions are influenced by several main factors, including compliance with sharia principles, price transparency, certainty of fixed installments, ease of financing processes, promotions conducted by the bank, housing location, and the brand image of the sharia bank. The murabahah contract is considered to provide clarity of profit margins from the start and stability of installment payments throughout the financing period, thereby increasing public security and trust. These findings indicate that consistent application of sharia principles and appropriate marketing strategies play a significant role in increasing public interest in sharia housing financing products.

This article proposes wasathiyah—a balanced Islamic ethic grounded in the maqasid al-shari‘ah—as a practical framework for East–West civilizational dialogue. It critiques “clash of civilizations” narratives for reducing cross-cultural relations to identity antagonism, while historical experience points to more complex patterns of exchange, negotiation, and mutual correction. By using maqasid as a normative compass, dialogue is oriented toward publicly verifiable aims: safeguarding human dignity, advancing justice, protecting reason and knowledge, strengthening social cohesion, and promoting sustainable governance. The discussion draws on Nahdlatul Ulama’s tradition of Aswaja An-Nahdliyah and contemporary discourse on fiqh al-hadlarah (civilizational jurisprudence) to formulate an indicator matrix across key domains—education, law and human rights, economy, media, and emerging technologies (including AI)—along with a 3–5 year implementation roadmap and risk-mitigation strategies. The article concludes by highlighting implications for Islamic education, particularly academic integrity, digital-ethical literacy, and interdisciplinary projects oriented to the public good (maslahah).

This study aims to identify and describe the values of Islamic education embedded in the art of Rampak Barongan Dance performed by the Krido Turonggo Mudo Art Studio in Koya Barat Subdistrict, Jayapura City, as well as to analyze this artistic practice as a medium for character education and cultural da’wah within the community. This research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, focusing on an in-depth understanding of the meanings and practices of Islamic values in artistic activities. Research data were collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews with the studio managers and members, and documentation related to the dance training and performance processes. The collected data were analyzed interactively through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing to obtain systematic and comprehensive results. The findings indicate that the Rampak Barongan Dance contains Islamic educational values, including faith (aqidah), sharia, morality (akhlak), and social values. These values are reflected in prayers before performances, the use of modest attire in accordance with Islamic sharia, sincerity in performance, social ethics, solidarity, and teamwork. The practice of training and performing the dance serves as a means of cultivating discipline, responsibility, respect for time, and functions as an effective medium of cultural da’wah by integrating artistic aesthetics with Islamic moral messages.

This study aims to analyze the collective kiai leadership policies in enhancing the quality of madrasah education at Bahrul Ulum Islamic Boarding School, Tambakberas, Jombang. Using a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach, the study collects data through in-depth interviews, structured observation, and documentation. The data analysis process involves three stages: data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The study reveals that the formulation of collective leadership policies is based on the need to achieve religious goals, legal foundations, and community needs. These policies are oriented toward problem-solving and continuity, formulated through deliberation and consensus involving all kiai leaders of both formal and non-formal educational institutions within the pesantren. The implementation of these policies emphasizes scholarly sanad and intellectual tradition across all educational institutions. Key aspects include educational administration, human resource development, strengthening formal education based on national accreditation standards, providing entrepreneurship education, and participating in faith-based as well as science and technology competitions at national and international levels. The evaluation of these policies is carried out collectively by all caretakers and leaders in alignment with established policies to ensure quality improvement across the pesantren’s formal and non-formal educational institutions.

Violence against children remains a serious violation of human rights that continues to occur in various social environments, including religious-based educational institutions such as Islamic boarding schools, where children are in a highly vulnerable position both physically and psychologically. One case that drew public attention occurred at the Pesona Al-Qur’an Islamic Boarding School in Pesawaran Regency, which was resolved through a restorative justice approach without proceeding to court. This study aims to examine the mechanism of law enforcement against perpetrators of child abuse at the institution and to analyze the factors hindering the implementation of restorative justice in such cases. Using a normative-empirical research method, this study analyzes applicable laws and regulations supported by field data obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results show that law enforcement was carried out through an investigation by the Pesawaran Resort Police, followed by the termination of prosecution by the Pesawaran District Prosecutor’s Office based on Regulation of the Attorney General of the Republic of Indonesia Number 15 of 2020 concerning the Termination of Prosecution Based on Restorative Justice. Case resolution was conducted through mediation involving the perpetrator, the victim, and their families, facilitated by law enforcement officers, resulting in an agreement in the form of an apology and compensation to the victim. However, the implementation of restorative justice still faces several obstacles, including limited public understanding, concerns about the loss of deterrent effects, power imbalances between victims and perpetrators, potential pressure on victims to accept reconciliation, and weak supervision of post-mediation agreements; therefore, strengthening oversight, improving the understanding of law enforcement officers and the community, and optimizing the role of child protection institutions are essential to ensure that restorative justice truly prioritizes the best interests of the child and provides substantive justice.

This study aims to describe and analyze the strengthening of eight basic teaching skills in prospective Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers at the University of Qur'anic Sciences (UNSIQ) through the Micro Teaching course. The eight skills include questioning, reinforcement, variation, explaining, opening and closing lessons, guiding small group discussions, class management, and small group/individual teaching. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected over one month through participatory observation in the Micro Teaching Laboratory, documentation, and in-depth interviews with 12 informants consisting of 2 lecturers and 10 PAI students. The results showed that Micro Teaching learning significantly increased students' self-confidence and pedagogical competence. Specific findings indicate the integration of Qur'anic values in teaching practices, such as the use of kalimah thayyibah as a form of verbal reinforcement skills. Nevertheless, classroom management remains the most challenging aspect for students. This study concludes that intensive simulation and continuous feedback are the main keys to producing professional PAI teacher candidates with Qur'anic character.

This study, entitled "Analysis of the Application of Sharia Economic Principles in Nuris Medika Fund Management," aims to analyze the extent to which Sharia economic principles are applied in the fund management system at the Nuris Medika healthcare institution. Sharia economic principles emphasize justice, transparency, mutual assistance (ta'awun), and the prohibition of riba (usury), gharar (gharar), and maysir (gambling). This study used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation of managers and related parties at Nuris Medika. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research results indicate that fund management at Nuris Medika largely adheres to Islamic economic principles, particularly in terms of transparency in fund use, social responsibility, and the implementation of an interest-free system in internal financial transactions. However, several aspects still need to be strengthened, such as the development of more systematic Sharia-based standard operating procedures (SOPs) and increasing Sharia economic literacy among all institution managers. Overall, the implementation of Islamic economic principles at Nuris Medika can be categorized as good and has the potential to become a model for financial management in Islamic boarding school-based healthcare institutions based on Islamic values.

The development of digital media has created new spaces for Islamic preaching practices, particularly through social media platforms such as TikTok and YouTube. Amid the proliferation of religious content that may trigger social polarization, preaching based on Ahlussunnah wal Jama’ah (Aswaja) values plays a crucial role in strengthening religious moderation. This study aims to analyze the internalization of Aswaja values tawassuth (moderation), tasamuh (tolerance), and tawazun (balance) in digital da’wah content on TikTok and YouTube from the perspective of Islam Nusantara. This research employs a qualitative approach using content analysis of selected da’wah videos chosen through purposive sampling. The findings indicate that Aswaja values are internalized contextually and adaptively according to the characteristics of each platform. TikTok functions as an effective medium for delivering concise and persuasive messages, particularly related to tolerance and religious moderation, while YouTube serves as a space for deeper, more argumentative, and reflective Islamic discourse. These findings affirm that Aswaja based digital da’wah within the framework of Islam Nusantara plays a strategic role in promoting religious moderation and maintaining social harmony in a plural digital society.
