The subject of Islamic Cultural History (SKI) plays an important role in instilling Islamic historical values in students. One of the topics taught is the Story of Fathu Makkah, which describes the victory of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the Muslims in conquering the city of Makkah without war. However, in the learning process of grade IV students at MI Salafiyah, it was found that students showed a lack of interest in this material due to conventional and less engaging teaching methods. This study aims to enhance students' interest in learning the Story of Fathu Makkah through the use of story posters as a teaching medium. The research method employed is Classroom Action Research (CAR) based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, which consists of two cycles. Each cycle includes the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observations, student learning interest questionnaires, and comprehension test results. The findings indicate that the use of story posters significantly increased students' learning interest. In the first cycle, students began to show interest in the material, although some were still less active. After improvements were made in the second cycle, there was an increase in student engagement during discussions, and their understanding of the material improved. Moreover, the students' average scores increased compared to before the intervention. The conclusion of this study is that the use of story posters can enhance students' learning interest in the Story of Fathu Makkah in grade IV at MI Salafiyah.

Marriage in Indonesia's indigenous peoples has strong cultural values and has been passed down from generation to generation. However, in practice, there are several forms of customary marriage that have the potential to contradict the applicable positive law, especially related to coercive actions in marriage. This study aims to identify and analyze the implementation of marriage culture in the form of forced marriage/captive marriage which is contrary to Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning the Crime of Sexual Violence (TPKS Law) that occurs in Sumba, East Nusa Tenggara. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a normative juridical approach, this study explores the content of the articles of the Marriage Law, the Criminal Code, and the TPKS Law. In the Indonesian legal system, marriage must meet the elements in the laws and regulations. However, in practice, the traditional marriage culture in Sumba has the potential to lead to forced marriage carried out by men where women are in a vulnerable position. Article 4 paragraph (1) of the TPKS Law clearly states that forced marriage is a form of sexual violence, which can be subject to criminal sanctions in accordance with Article 10 of the TPKS Law. Based on the results of the research, the cultural implications or impacts of forced marriage are the lack of justice, usefulness and legal certainty, so concrete steps are needed in the form of firmer law enforcement and the need for collaborative support from law enforcement officials and legal education for indigenous peoples so that these practices can be minimized and women's rights in marriage can be optimally protected.

The Society 5.0 era integrates digital technology with human values to create a human-centered society that addresses social issues, enhances quality of life, and promotes sustainability. Digital literacy and multidimensional skills are crucial in education to prepare students for global challenges. Strengthening literacy in reading, numeracy, science, finance, digital competence, and citizenship is key to adaptation and progress. However, literacy levels in Indonesia, including at MTs Negeri 1 Kota Prabumulih, require improvement to foster critical thinking and knowledge application.

This qualitative study with a phenomenological approach explores students' literacy levels, relevant literacy concepts for Society 5.0, the integration of Islamic Education (PAI) values with literacy, and how PAI supports literacy enhancement at MTs Negeri 1 Kota Prabumulih. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results indicate that students' literacy levels remain moderate, requiring enhancement. Literacy integration with PAI is evident in thematic approaches, linking zakat to financial literacy and Qur'anic verses to science. However, optimizing facilities, teacher training, and project-based learning is necessary for stronger literacy development.
