This study examines the implementation of deep learning integrated with Problem Based Learning (PBL) in Fiqh subjects at MAS Al-Mashuriyah Pagelaran Cianjur. Using a descriptive qualitative design, data were gathered through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students, and documentation across six instructional meetings in grades XI and XII. The results show that the combination of deep learning and PBL substantially increases students’ active participation and encourages them to think more critically, especially when studying purification (thaharah) materials. Through group discussions, case-based problems, and guided exploration of Islamic legal sources, students were able to connect theoretical concepts to everyday religious practices. This approach allowed learning to shift from memorization toward deeper conceptual understanding and contextual application. The teacher served primarily as a facilitator, providing direction and scaffolding while giving students space to analyze, argue, and draw conclusions independently. Overall, the findings indicate that integrating deep learning with PBL is an effective pedagogical strategy for enhancing the quality of Fiqh learning at the madrasah level, as it not only improves comprehension but also fosters analytical thinking, collaboration, and the ability to apply Islamic legal principles in practical situations.

Parenting plays a crucial role in shaping a child's personality and religious values ​​from an early age. This study aims to examine the concept of parenting from an Islamic perspective, particularly according to the views of Imam Al-Ghazali, a prominent Islamic scholar and thinker. The method used was a literature review with a descriptive analytical and historical approach. The results show that Islamic parenting, according to Al-Ghazali, is based on the principles of monotheism, faith, and noble morals derived from the Quran and Sunnah. Al-Ghazali viewed children as a trust from Allah, born in a state of fitrah (purity) and as potential beings who are the hope of the community. Educating children must be done from an early age because childhood is a golden period that is very decisive in character formation. The parenting methods recommended by Al-Ghazali include: (1) the habituation method to shape character through continuous practice; (2) the role model method, where parents serve as direct role models for children; (3) the storytelling method to instill moral values; (4) the advice method with a compassionate approach; and (5) reward and punishment methods applied wisely. Al Ghazali's parenting concept emphasizes the importance of parents' role in creating a conducive environment for children's spiritual, moral, and social development, which not only impacts worldly life but also the afterlife. This research contributes to the idea of ​​the urgency of implementing Islamic teachings in educating and raising children in the digital era, which is full of various challenges.

Early marriage and divorce at a young age are among the most prevalent social problems among adolescents. A lack of understanding regarding marital loneliness, coupled with a lack of religious knowledge and life skills, often leads to marriages being faced without proper preparation. This situation necessitates strengthening premarital education literacy, which not only equips the cognitive aspect but also instills values ​​of balance through the concept of moderation. This study focuses on strengthening premarital education literacy without moderation as an effort to mitigate early divorce among adolescents at the Darul Ihsan Islamic Boarding School. The study focuses on how the premarital literacy program, based on the rights and obligations of couples, improved (80%) and family communication skills (78%), based on pre-test and post-test results. Using qualitative descriptive methods through observation, interviews, and documentation, this study found that premarital education literacy without moderation has a positive impact on improving adolescents' readiness for marriage. In addition, this program has also proven relevant in efforts to reduce the risk of early divorce which often arises due to a lack of mental and spiritual readiness among young couples.

This study examines the intellectual contributions of Ibn Sina (980–1037 AD) to the development of Islamic philosophy and modern science.

Islamic education learning models in campus environments often face challenges in integrating critical thinking with religious character building. Dogmatic and lecturer-centered learning makes students less involved in discovering contextual religious meaning. This study aims to explore the development of an Islamic value-based Guided Inquiry learning model in Islamic education courses. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) with an adaptation of the Thiagarajan, Semmel & Semmel model using the 4D approach (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate), as well as a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods (mixed methods) through tests, questionnaires, observations, interviews, and reflective journals. Quantitative analysis used a mean difference test. The results showed that the developed model consisted of eight phases, namely Open, Immerse, Explore, Identify, Gather, Create, Share, and Evaluate, which were integrated with Islamic values, such as faith, honesty, responsibility, and tolerance. Expert validation showed high feasibility, namely 93.33%. The implementation in the student classroom showed the feasibility of the model syntax with an average observation score of 87.4%, with the Open and Share phases being the most consistent. Empirically, the developed model was effectively implemented in PAI learning with an increase in the average score in meeting I from 58.24 to 73.23, in meeting II from 66.17 to 84.5, and in meeting III, the average score increased from 55.34 to 81.78. The developed model had a very strong impact on shaping student behavior, as shown by the questionnaire results with a score of 93.48%. Supporting factors included the learning environment (with an influence score of 4.55), lecturers and teaching methods (influence score of 4.78), students (influence score of 4.19), and curriculum and material factors (score of 4.37). This means that these factors were identified as factors influencing the development of the learning model.

The high rate of stunting in 2025 in the Labaksiu sub-district prompted the government to involve the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) in stunting prevention efforts. This is based on the view that the process of forming a family is closely related to childbearing, so the KUA was revitalized to include stunting issues in marriage guidance materials. This study aims to examine the communication strategies used in the marriage guidance program to prevent stunting in the Labaksiu sub-district. The method used is qualitative descriptive, with data collected through in-depth interviews with six informants, consisting of three guidance facilitators, one health officer, and two program participants. The study's findings indicate that the communication strategy in the marriage guidance program for stunting prevention refers to Lasswell's theory, emphasizing the role of a competent communicator, namely a certified facilitator. The material presented covers topics on reproductive health and the development of outstanding generations, delivered in an educational and persuasive manner. The media used include modules and direct delivery by facilitators. The target of the program is prospective couples who have registered at the KUA. The impact of this program is an increase in the knowledge of prospective brides and grooms regarding the importance of preparing for a healthy family.

Mixed marriages are a social phenomenon that is increasingly prevalent with globalization and mobility between countries. The problems arising from mixed marriages not only concern social aspects but also impact the citizenship status and inheritance rights of the parties. This study aims to analyze the legal consequences of mixed marriages on citizenship and inheritance rights from the perspectives of civil law and Islamic law. The method used is normative-comparative research with a legislative and conceptual approach. The results reveal fundamental differences between civil law and Islamic law in regulating citizenship and inheritance rights in mixed marriages. Civil law emphasizes administrative and national aspects, while Islamic law focuses on religious and lineage aspects. These differences lead to variations in the recognition of citizenship and inheritance of property, potentially creating legal uncertainty for the parties. Therefore, harmonization between civil law and Islamic law is essential to create legal certainty and justice, particularly in the context of inter-national and inter-religious marriages in Indonesia

Game-based learning has emerged as a relevant instructional strategy to address the challenges of 21st-century education, including in Islamic Religious Education (PAI), which is often perceived as monotonous and less engaging for students. This study aims to describe the implementation of game-based learning in enhancing students’ learning motivation in the PAI subject at MA Yapina. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that the use of educational games—both digital and non-digital—creates a more interactive and enjoyable learning atmosphere while encouraging active student participation. Students demonstrated increased motivation, self-confidence, and interest in understanding religious concepts more deeply. In addition to boosting motivation, game-based activities contributed to better conceptual understanding through collaborative tasks and contextual simulations of Islamic values. However, several challenges were identified, including limited teacher competence in using game-based media and unequal availability of technological facilities. These findings suggest that game-based learning holds significant potential for PAI instruction but requires adequate teacher support and sufficient infrastructure to optimize its implementation. This study is expected to serve as a reference for developing innovative and creative learning strategies in Islamic Religious Education that align with the characteristics of digital-native learners.

This study aims to describe the characteristics of SMK Al-Azami students in emulating the morals of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as part of character development based on Islamic values within vocational education. The background of this research lies in the urgency of character education that not only emphasizes academic competence and technical skills but also focuses on moral formation and professional ethics. This research employed a qualitative approach using a library research method by analyzing relevant classical and modern Islamic literature, supported by documentation of school activities. The results reveal that the moral values of the Prophet Muhammad have been well internalized in students’ daily behavior, which includes four core dimensions: Shidq (honesty), Amanah (trustworthiness), Istiqamah (discipline), and Rahmah (compassion). The value of Shidq is reflected in students’ honesty during vocational practice and in reporting work results; Amanah is demonstrated through responsibility for tools and group tasks; Istiqamah appears in punctuality, consistency, and work discipline; and Rahmah is shown through respectful, empathetic, and cooperative social interactions. The findings indicate that Islamic character education effectively shapes students with integrity, discipline, and social awareness, serving as a model for moral development in vocational schools. Furthermore, this research highlights the importance of strengthening teacher exemplarity, religious habituation, and curriculum integration of Islamic moral values in vocational learning to ensure sustainable character development.

This study examines how Islamic Religious Education (PAI) contributes to developing student character that reflects care for environmental sustainability. The growing phenomenon of environmental degradation requires education that goes beyond cognitive aspects and nurtures ecological awareness grounded in Islamic values. The aim of this research is to describe the strategies and implementation of PAI in fostering environmentally friendly behavior among students. This study employs a qualitative approach through interviews with PAI teachers, observations of student activities, and documentation related to school-based environmental programs. The findings reveal that Islamic teachings on cleanliness, environmental balance, and human responsibility as stewards of the earth provide a strong foundation for encouraging students to protect the environment through positive habits such as proper waste disposal, wise use of resources, and participation in greening activities. Nevertheless, the implementation still faces several challenges, including inconsistent student discipline and limited supporting facilities within the school. Overall, PAI serves as an educational medium capable of shaping ecological behavior when supported by strong collaboration between schools, teachers, and families.

Fasting as a spiritual and health practice has been practiced for thousands of years in various religious and cultural traditions around the world. In the last decade, researchers have shown increasing interest in the health aspects of fasting, not only from a physiological but also a psychological perspective. This phenomenon is interesting to study further, especially in the context of modern society which often faces stress, anxiety, and various mental disorders. The approach used in this study was a qualitative approach with a literature study method that analyzed in depth various reference sources related to the mental impact of fasting. The results of the review of several studies show that fasting has been proven to have an effect on mental health because it has a significant impact on overall mood improvements, with reduced anxiety levels and increased feelings of calm. Furthermore, another important aspect of mental health is cognitive function, which includes attention, concentration, memory, and executive function. It was found that cognitive alertness is generally maintained during short- to medium-term fasting, but begins to decline after longer fasting durations. Fasting also has an impact on extraordinary psychological resilience and good mental health despite advanced age. Researchers attribute this extraordinary mental resilience to the consistent practice of long-term fasting, which may have induced significant neuroplastic and psychological adaptations.

In the context of modern education, performance assessment is a crucial instrument for measuring the effectiveness of the learning process. Unlike test-based assessments that generally focus on cognitive aspects, performance assessment highlights students' abilities in applying the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they have learned in various real situations. This is very relevant to the multidimensional characteristics of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning, including cognitive (knowledge), affective (attitudes and values), and psychomotor (practice of worship and skills) aspects. This study aims to: 1) To determine the concept and implementation of performance assessment in the context of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning. 2) To identify the types of performance assessments that are relevant and can be applied effectively in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning. 3) To examine the effectiveness of implementing performance assessments in improving understanding, practice, and character building. This study uses a qualitative approach with the model used being library research. The results of the study indicate that performance assessment in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning is a form of authentic evaluation that is very important to be applied in the learning process. Unlike traditional assessments, which emphasize cognitive aspects, performance assessments provide balanced attention to cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. These assessments assess not only what students know, but also who they become. Therefore, it is crucial for teachers and educational institutions to optimally integrate performance assessments to shape a generation that is not only intellectually intelligent but also spiritually and socially mature.

By strengthening the understanding of how best to utilize AI technology in Quran learning, it is hoped that a more effective and holistic approach can be developed.

This article discusses the concept of acquiring wealth through wrongful means from an Islamic perspective through an interdisciplinary study approach. In Islam, wealth is viewed as a trust that must be acquired and utilized in accordance with sharia provisions, so that any form of acquisition carried out through unlawful means is viewed as an act that damages the public interest and violates religious provisions. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach to analyze the forms of acquiring wealth through wrongful means, such as usury, gharar, risywah, tadlis, and maysir, and their impacts on various aspects of life. The analysis is conducted through the perspectives of Islamic law, economics, psychology, and socio-culture. The results of the study indicate that acquiring wealth through wrongful means not only harms individuals but also affects the social, economic, and moral stability of society. In addition, this practice is viewed as a form of deviation from the essential function of wealth in Islam, namely as a means to realize the common good. This study emphasizes the importance of implementing sharia values in economic and social practices as a preventive measure against injustice and injustice in society.

N the rapidly evolving digital era, decision-making has become a critical aspect across various fields, including education, where choices such as selecting an Islamic boarding school (pondok pesantren) are often influenced by complex and subjective factors. This study addresses the dilemma faced by Diyah, a junior high school student, in determining the best reasons for choosing Pondok Pesantren Darularafah Raya, highlighting the limitations of manual, personal-based processes that fail to systematically consider measurable criteria like educational quality, learning environment, facilities, discipline, and instilled religious values. The advancement of information technology provides a solution through Decision Support Systems (DSS), utilizing the ORESTE (Organization, Rangement Et Synthèse De Données Relationnelles) method, which effectively processes ordinal data to produce objective rankings based on subjective yet structured preferences. Unlike other methods such as SAW or AHP that rely on numerical data, ORESTE emphasizes relative preference weights, making it suitable for individual decision-making contexts like educational choices. The novelty of this research lies in applying ORESTE in a DSS focused on analyzing an individual's best reasons for selecting a pesantren, aiming to reduce subjective bias and enhance rationality. The primary objective is to develop a DSS using the ORESTE method to analyze and determine Diyah's optimal reasons for choosing the pesantren. Through this, the system is expected to accelerate evaluation processes, improve objectivity, and identify dominant factors influencing educational decisions. Findings from the implementation demonstrate accurate rankings that prioritize key criteria, leading to more efficient and data-driven outcomes. Implications include aiding students, schools, and educators in understanding influential factors, fostering objective assessment systems, and serving as a reference for future studies integrating MCDM methods with computer-based systems in personalized educational decision-making.
