This research aims to explain the characteristics of cognitive, social and moral development in adolescence and adulthood, by highlighting various factors that influence the dynamics of individual growth at these two stages of life. Adolescence is characterized by significant changes in abstract and logical thinking abilities, which correspond to the formal operations stage in Piaget's cognitive theory. In addition, teenagers begin to develop self-identities and build more complex social relationships. In adulthood, cognitive development shows a shift from purely logical thinking to more reflective and pragmatic thinking, which adapts to real-life challenges. This research concludes that understanding the characteristics of cognitive, social and moral development in adolescence and adulthood is very important in supporting optimal individual development. The results of this research can be a reference for educators, counselors and parents in providing guidance and support in accordance with individual development needs at each stage of life.

The leadership of the Prophet Muhammad SAW in Islamic education is a very relevant example to this day. Through his leadership characteristics which include honesty, trustworthiness, gentle firmness, and noble morals, the Prophet Muhammad SAW succeeded in transforming the divided Arab society of Jahiliyah into one people united in Islamic values. He led with a clear vision and mature strategy, creating an education system that prioritizes the development of character, morals, and knowledge. The Islamic education inherited by the Prophet Muhammad SAW not only includes religious knowledge, but also general knowledge that gave birth to various great scientists during the golden age of Islam. The legacy of his leadership is evident in his broad influence on the development of Islamic civilization. His success in establishing the Islamic Khilafah State and introducing the values ​​of justice, compassion, and the spirit of seeking knowledge became the foundation for the development of science that was very advanced at that time. Therefore, the principles of the leadership of the Prophet Muhammad SAW are not only relevant in a historical context, but can also be implemented in facing global challenges in the modern era, by emphasizing the importance of education, justice, and integrity.

This Abstract Outlines The Historical Role Of The Christian Church In Governance, Especially In The Western World. From Its Early Development, The Church Wielded Considerable Influence Over Social And Political Affairs, Particularly After Christianity Became The Official Religion Of The Roman Empire In The 4th Century. Beyond Its Religious Duties, The Church Served As A Powerful Social, Moral, And Legal Authority In Medieval Europe. Through Canon Law, It Governed Various Facets Of Societal Life, Including Marriage, Inheritance, And Social Norms, And Validated The Power Of Rulers Through The “Divine Right” Doctrine. However, The Protestant Reformation Of The 16th Century Marked A Major Shift, Promoting A Separation Of Church And State That Influenced The Rise Of Secular Governance Systems. The Protestant Church Championed Religious Freedom And Individual Autonomy, Foundations For Modern Pluralism And Democracy. In The Contemporary Era, While The Church’s Formal Governance Role Has Declined, It Remains A Moral Voice, Particularly On Social Issues, Justice, And Human Rights. This Study Concludes That The Church's Role In Governance Has Evolved From A Political And Legal Authority To A More Inclusive Moral And Social Role In A Progressively Secular Society.

This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic education in character development within the family, focusing on strategies for fostering faith, worship, and ethics in the face of the challenges of globalization and digitalization. The family, as the primary educational institution, plays a crucial role in shaping the character of children, encompassing spiritual, moral, and social development.

Nonetheless, with the wise use of technology and consistent family-based education, the goals of character education based on faith, worship, and ethics can be achieved. This study provides recommendations for parents and educators to continue strengthening the role of the family in educating children by emphasizing the importance of Islamic values in everyday life and utilizing technology to support positive educational processes

The purpose of this research is to explore the principles of Islamic economics in adapting to the rapid developments in science, technology, and arts (STEM). Islamic economics focuses on several aspects, including material, spiritual, and moral dimensions. This illustrates that the principles of Islamic economics should be applied to a broader environment, including developments in science, technology, and arts (STEM). Islamic economics is a system that adheres to the principles of Islamic law (Sharia). The concept of Islamic economics includes: Balance, Justice, and Safety, which serve as the foundation for resource management. There are many opportunities within Islamic economics to establish a new financial system, such as reporting and recording based on Sharia and utilizing more optimal technology. The application of this new Sharia financial system plays an important role in strengthening the principles of Islamic economics, including the prohibition of usury (riba), uncertainty (gharar), unjust distribution of wealth, and investments that harm the community. Investment in Islamic economics is a means of placing funds with the aim of generating profit, while adhering to the principles of Islamic economics, making it a permissible activity that avoids elements of usury, gambling (maysir), and uncertainty (gharar). The implementation of these principles of Islamic economics will ultimately benefit the community and prevent any harm. People must pay more attention to the legal foundations set by Sharia, which provides clear guidelines for a prosperous and balanced life, covering both social and economic aspects as well as the environment.

This research examines the transformation of educational sociological thinking in Islam, with a focus on the contributions of classical scholars such as Al-Ghazali, Ibn Khaldun, and Al-Farabi. These three figures integrate education with social, moral and spiritual values, creating a holistic approach that not only emphasizes intellectual development, but also character formation. Al-Ghazali emphasized the importance of balanced education between worldly and ukhrawi knowledge, while Ibn Khaldun, through al-umran theory, viewed education as a tool to maintain social cohesion and build a just civilization. Al-Farabi, with his thoughts about the ideal society, emphasized the role of education in creating virtuous individuals. The research method used is a literature review with a qualitative-descriptive approach to analyze the relevance of these thoughts in facing contemporary educational challenges. The results show that even though they come from different historical contexts, their thoughts remain relevant, especially in responding to today's educational challenges which prioritize a balance between science, morality and spirituality. Thus, the contribution of sociological thought to education in Islam has had a significant impact on the social structure and development of Muslim education to date.    

Early Childhood Education (PAUD) plays a crucial role in shaping children's character and personality. One of the essential character values to instill from an early age is sincerity.
