Concrete is an artificial stone made from a mixture of cement, sand, aggregate and water. For this reason, this construction material is considered very important to continue to be developed. One effort to develop is by improving the weak properties of the concrete itself. From this, researchers will use additional materials such as fiber palm fiber and sika visconcrate in the concrete mixture. Fiber fiber itself has durable properties and does not rot easily in open conditions or embedded in the ground, while sika visconcrate is a chemical that is used as an additive in the mixture to increase the workability, quality and strength of concrete with the desired properties. The method used in this research is quantitative experimentation. The aim of this research is to determine the characteristics of concrete using palm fiber and sika visconcrate with variations of 3%, 5% and 7% from normal concrete. The results of the research show that the average compressive strength of normal concrete is 25,572 MPa, 3% SI+SV variation concrete has an average of 27,365 MPa, 5% SI+SV variation concrete has an average of 26,704 MPa, and 7% SI+ SV variation concrete The average is 26,044 MPa. The split tensile strength test results of normal concrete averaged 6.074 MPa, 3% SI+SV variation concrete averaged 6.444 MPa, 5% SI+SV variation concrete averaged 7.852 MPa, and 7% variation concrete averaged amounting to 8,148 MPa.

Islamic culture has been on a steady decline from the time of the prophet, who ushered in its golden age. A factor contributing to Islamic stagnation was the emergence of Western nations that colonized Islamic nations. In their imperialistic pursuit of power, wealth, culture, and politics, Western nations prey on Islamic nations. Consequently, it is intriguing to examine their colonization of Islamic nations. My goal in writing this paper is to gain a better understanding of the reasons behind western colonization of Islamic countries. I hope that all students in Indonesia, and particularly those at UINSU, will read it and be inspired to work towards a world where Islamic countries no longer face colonization from the West.. Library research is the methodology employed in this article. There was a lengthy period of Islamic stagnation due to the colonization of the archipelago by western powers. This was accompanied by devastating conflicts, economic and social inequalities, the loss of native culture and civilization, and the introduction of Christianity. Due in part to the fact that Islamic countries are unable to stand up to Western colonization on their own, Islam has been unable to advance in recent centuries. Economic, social, political, and legal decisions may all stem from the need for prior permission from the federal government in order to pass legislation pertaining to a state. A number of indigenous peoples' desires to secede from their colonial masters emerged in response to Western colonialism. Some of the colonized states that rose up in opposition to the occupying power were successful in becoming independent nations, while others were unable to do so due to the superior military might of the colonial power.

Aqidah is a principle of faith that has been established by Allah SWT. And we as human beings are obliged to believe in it in order to be worthy of being called believers. But that does not mean that faith is dogmatically instilled in humans, because the process of faith must be accompanied by aqli postulates. But because human reason is limited, not everything that can be trusted can be perceived and achieved by human reason. Scholars agree that the aqli proposition can indeed give birth to strong faith and faith. While the naqli postulate that can produce the desired belief is only the qath'i postulate. This short article presents some discussions that may be useful for those who want to understand the aqidah.

This research aims to explore theological views on apostasy in the context of Christianity. Apostasy is defined as an act of rejection of one's faith and religious teachings, with a focus on serious spiritual consequences. The main source of insight is the Bible, which provides strong warnings against apostasy, highlighting specific passages such as Hebrews 6:4-6. This verse reflects the theological view that for those who consciously abandon the Christian faith, repentance may no longer be possible. This view reflects the serious spiritual consequences that can separate an individual from the presence of God. Although the Bible provides a strong warning against apostasy, the theological perspective also highlights God's grace and forgiveness. The Bible shows that repentance is always open to those who sincerely desire to return to God. In Luke 15:7, Jesus emphasizes the joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, providing hope that despite the seriousness of the apostasy, God always provides a way for repentance and restoration of a spiritual relationship with Him. Overall, the theological view of apostasy reflects a balance between stern warnings about the spiritual consequences and God's gracious mercy that is always open to those who return to Him.

However, in the reality of its implementation, there are challenges that result in the gap between such idealism and reality. Factors such as varied social, political, cultural, and interpretation of Islamic teachings affect the gap between idealism and the reality of the Islamic law. These factors can hinder the implementation that corresponds to the desired idealism. 3) The impact of the gap between idealism and the reality of Islamic law is visible in societies, where there is sometimes an inconsistency between public expectations of fair implementation and realities that do not meet those expectations. This can lead to dissatisfaction, injustice, and social tension. 4) To overcome this gap, efforts involving various parties are needed, including religious leaders, Islamic law scholars, legal practitioners, and the general public. In this regard, a deeper understanding of Islamic teachings, the strengthening of justice institutions, the involvement of society in the process of law-making, and the promotion of dialogue and understanding between groups can be effective measures. Building understanding and cooperation between religious leaders, Islamic law scholars, and legal practitioners with the general public is key in strengthening the implementation of Islamic Law in accordance with desired idealism. It is essential for the implementation of Islamic law to justice, sustainability, and well-being for society.

A search engine is a tool used to find on the internet by entering the desired key words or phrases, for example if you search for information about cars with information using a search engine, you will get results in the form of a list of websites that contain information about cars. Search engines are very useful because they allow you to find the information you need quickly and easily. This will be even better if a word/keyword filtering system is combined which is used to filter words or phrases to promote local products. Word filters can also be used to avoid the use of inappropriate words or phrases in a particular context. In this research, I used the API from Bing to get data. The results of this research are in the form of a web application that can filter keywords entered by the user, the keywords that have been input are filtered and if there are dirty words then these words will be deleted, after filtering the keywords it will then proceed to the Bing API for search for articles that can be read by users.
