Modern education often emphasizes cognitive and technological aspects, while spiritual aspects are often neglected. In fact, in Islamic educational philosophy, the integration of spiritual values ​​is an important part in forming the character of students who are moral and competitive. This study aims to (1) analyze the concept of Islamic educational philosophy from the perspective of integrating spiritual values, (2) identify spiritual values ​​that can be integrated into the modern education system, and (3) explore effective strategies in their implementation. The method used is a literature review with a descriptive-analytical approach to relevant sources. The results of the study indicate that Islamic educational philosophy emphasizes a balance between intellectual and spiritual aspects to form individuals who have high moral awareness. Spiritual values ​​such as monotheism, morals, and worship can be adapted into a modern curriculum through contextual and experience-based learning methods. The implementation of this integration strategy includes a holistic approach in the curriculum, teacher training, and the creation of a learning environment that supports the spiritual growth of students. Thus, the integration of spiritual values ​​in modern education contributes to the formation of a more complete and balanced character.

The low level of Islamic financial literacy in Indonesia is a serious challenge in realizing a financial system that is inclusive and in accordance with Islamic values. Islamic financial literacy reflects an individual's understanding of financial concepts and products based on sharia principles such as the prohibition of riba, gharar, and maysir, as well as the importance of fairness and social responsibility. This article aims to evaluate strategies to improve Islamic financial literacy by emphasizing on two main approaches: education and public campaigns. The method used is a literature study by reviewing various academic literatures, financial institution reports, as well as practices in other countries that have successfully implemented Islamic financial literacy widely. The results of the study show that formal education such as the integration of Islamic finance materials in the school curriculum, as well as non-formal education in the form of training and counseling, contribute significantly to improving public understanding. On the other hand, public campaigns through social media, educational videos, and collaboration with religious leaders have proven effective in reaching various segments of society, especially the younger generation. This study concludes that improving Islamic financial literacy requires a holistic and synergistic approach between education, campaigns, and regulatory support from the government and financial institutions. Recommendations include thematic curriculum development, training for educators, and sustained digital-based campaigns. The findings of this article are expected to make practical and theoretical contributions to the development of Islamic financial literacy strategies in Indonesia.

This study aims to design a contextual and educational pastoral model, assess its level of acceptance, and analyze the positive impact it brings both to the elderly as the service recipients and to students as pastoral partners in the life of the Church. The background of this research lies in the need for a more personal, participatory pastoral approach that touches the emotional and spiritual dimensions of elderly individuals living in Catholic nursing homes. Elderly people often experience loneliness, isolation, and a decline in life motivation. Meanwhile, Catholic students need tangible opportunities to live out their faith values through real actions. The research method employed is Research and Development (R&D), comprising stages such as preliminary study, model design, expert validation, limited trials, and evaluation. The model developed consists of a contextual Liturgy of the Word involving students as Scripture readers, prayer leaders, musicians, and givers of symbolic gifts of love, such as rosaries, to the elderly. The results of the study show that the model was enthusiastically received by the elderly, who expressed joy, active participation in the service, and showed behavioral changes such as praying independently at night and increased social interaction. On the other hand, students experienced growth in faith, empathy, and a deeper awareness of the meaning of service. Therefore, this model is considered appropriate for implementation as part of pastoral care for the elderly and integrated faith formation for the younger generation within the broader context of the Church.

Improving the quality of learning in madrasas is a strategic and sustainable effort that includes various aspects, starting from developing a contextual and integrative curriculum, improving the competence of teaching staff, to optimal utilization of educational technology. In the context of globalization and rapid development of science, madrasas are required not only to maintain their Islamic identity, but also to be able to produce graduates who are competent, have character, and are adaptive to the challenges of the times. Therefore, learning in madrasas needs to be designed holistically, integrating spiritual, moral, and intellectual values ​​with an innovative and participatory pedagogical approach. In addition, support from various parties such as the government, society, and religious institutions is an important factor in creating a superior and competitive madrasa education ecosystem. With these steps, it is hoped that madrasas can become educational institutions that are not only relevant to the needs of the times, but also make a significant contribution to producing a generation that is knowledgeable, moral, and highly competitive.

The evolution of social media and its algorithms has transformed the dissemination of Pancasila as Indonesia’s national ideology. This study aims to analyze the representation of Pancasila in algorithmically curated digital discourse and its impact on public understanding. A qualitative approach, combining digital discourse analysis and netnography, was applied to examine content on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. Findings reveal the dual role of social media algorithms: while facilitating educational content on Pancasila (e.g., religious tolerance, human rights campaigns, and nationalism), they also amplify polarizing content, hoaxes, and hate speech that contradict Pancasila values. Analysis of Pancasila’s five principles shows that conflict-driven content (e.g., ethnic-religious issues) gains higher virality due to algorithms’ prioritization of engagement metrics. The filter bubble and echo chamber phenomena exacerbate discourse fragmentation, hindering inclusive dialogue about national ideology. The study concludes that Pancasila-based digital literacy, algorithmic transparency, and multistakeholder collaboration are critical to optimizing social media’s role in strengthening national identity. Policy recommendations include integrating "social cohesion" parameters into algorithm design and regulating content to uphold diversity.
