This study examines the phenomenon of Muslim consumer consumptive behavior in the digital era, focusing on online shopping activities through e-commerce platforms. The main goal is to examine the conformity of consumption behavior with the principles of consumption ethics in Islam. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews with selected Muslim consumers as well as observations of purchasing patterns over three months. The results show that the ease of access to technology, the intensity of promotion, and the influence of social media are the dominant factors that encourage impulse buying behavior. This phenomenon creates a gap between actual consumption practices and Islamic ethical values, especially related to the principles of moderation (wasathiyah), avoidance of waste (israf), and social responsibility in shopping. While some respondents showed awareness of these values, the pressures of the digital environment and consumptive lifestyles often obscure ethical considerations in purchasing decision-making. The implications of these findings emphasize the urgency of strengthening Islamic consumption literacy through digital education, awareness campaigns, and the integration of religious values in ethical marketing strategies. This research is expected to be the basis for the development of sustainable consumption policies based on spiritual values, as well as encourage Muslim consumers to be more critical and wise in facing the evolving dynamics of digital commerce.

This community service research aimed to empower elementary school children’s creativity through fun, educational, and environmentally friendly activities. Conducted at Bimbel Arsal in Tolokan Village, the project focused on ecoprinting training on tote bags using local natural resources. The activity followed a three-stage implementation process: preparation, execution, and reflection. The preparation stage included coordination with tutoring teachers and the gathering of tools and materials. During the execution stage, children were introduced to ecoprinting and practiced the pounding technique with guidance from the KKN team.

The results showed that the children successfully learned ecoprinting techniques, understood the environmental benefits, and expressed their creativity through unique and beautiful ecoprint designs on tote bags. Although challenges arose—such as difficulties selecting natural materials with strong color yields and technical issues during the beating process—the activity proceeded smoothly, thanks to the children’s enthusiasm, support from the tutoring center, and careful planning. Ultimately, the project proved effective in enhancing the children’s creativity, self-confidence, and environmental awareness. This activity not only empowered children but also contributed to promoting sustainable practices and fostering environmental consciousness among young learners. The success of the program highlights the importance of creative, hands-on learning activities in promoting both personal development and environmental responsibility.

Discipline is a crucial aspect of education that plays a significant role in shaping students’ character and sense of responsibility. However, the manual discipline assessment process at SDIP Baitul Maal presents several issues, such as inaccurate data, limited analysis capabilities, and difficulty for teachers and parents to monitor students effectively. With the advancement of information technology, digital systems offer a potential solution to improve the efficiency and objectivity of the evaluation process. This study aims to design and develop a web-based application for assessing student discipline by implementing the K-Means Clustering method optimized with the Elbow method. The system is designed to cluster students based on numerical data such as attendance, tardiness, neatness, and rule violations, allowing for more accurate classification of discipline levels. The results show that the system successfully groups students into clusters automatically and provides informative visualizations of the outcomes. Additionally, the system facilitates real-time monitoring and evaluation by school staff and parents through a user-friendly interface. Therefore, the application of the K-Means Elbow method proves effective in supporting decision-making within the educational environment. This research is expected to contribute to the digital transformation of school management and enhance the quality of student character development.

This study aims to describe the implementation of discipline values and the obstacles faced at MI Darul Hikmah Agung Jaya. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected from teachers, students, and parents through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed through data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured by triangulation of techniques and sources. The findings show that teachers instill discipline values through two main techniques. First, external control, in which teachers give warnings, threats, or punishment to undisciplined students and provide rewards or praise to those who obey the rules. For example, students who consistently complete homework may receive additional grades or verbal appreciation. Second, teachers also become role models, demonstrating punctuality, neat appearance, polite language, and respectful attitudes, thereby fostering discipline by example. Furthermore, teachers apply cooperative control, emphasizing collaboration and agreements between teachers and students. This approach promotes tolerance, respect, and responsibility by involving students in creating and maintaining classroom rules. However, some obstacles were identified. Teachers were sometimes less assertive in enforcing discipline, and limited variation in teaching methods led to student boredom. In addition, inadequate attention, motivation, and parental support negatively influenced students’ discipline, resulting in lateness, incomplete assignments, and other undisciplined behaviors.

However, the program faces challenges, such as the influence of social media, peer pressure, limited learning time, and insufficient teacher training. These challenges hinder the full potential of the program, but despite these barriers, it has still managed to positively impact the students' moral development. The study concludes that Islamic character education can significantly contribute to addressing moral decadence among students, though continuous efforts to address challenges are necessary to further improve its impact.

The waqf mushaf program in Garut Village, Kopo District, Serang Regency, Banten, was part of the Student Community Service (KKM) initiative aimed at supporting religious education in the area. This activity arose from the identified need for Qur’anic manuscripts in local institutions, which significantly limited the effectiveness of Qur’anic learning. The program involved several stages: preparation, identifying the needs of the community, fundraising, the distribution of mushaf to madrasahs and Qur’anic centers, and evaluation. A participatory approach was employed, where the community actively participated as both donors and beneficiaries. This approach not only facilitated the smooth execution of the program but also ensured a sense of ownership and responsibility among the local people. The program received strong support, with high levels of community participation in fundraising and distribution activities. The results showed a marked improvement in access to Qur’anic learning, as teachers and students now had better resources to facilitate their study of the Qur'an. The distribution of mushaf not only enhanced the quality of education but also fostered a greater awareness of waqf as an important Islamic social instrument. Through this initiative, the community gained a deeper understanding of the value of waqf in contributing to religious education and promoting social welfare

This study aims to examine the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in shaping students’ character in the digital era at SMK Negeri 1 Binjai. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. Data were collected through classroom observations, religious activities, interviews with PAI teachers, and questionnaires distributed to 50 tenth-grade students. The findings reveal that PAI plays a crucial role in instilling key character values, including discipline, honesty, responsibility, religiosity, and digital ethics. PAI teachers utilized interactive media, educational videos, and digital Qur’an applications, which enhanced students’ enthusiasm and facilitated better understanding of the subject matter. Based on the questionnaire results, 83% of students stated that PAI improved their discipline, 77% reported being more cautious in using social media, and 87% acknowledged that PAI fostered a greater sense of responsibility toward themselves and others. However, 60% of students still struggled to control their gadget usage, particularly for entertainment and online games. This indicates the need for continuous guidance and supervision from both teachers and parents. Overall, the study emphasizes that the effectiveness of PAI in the digital era depends on teachers’ competence in integrating technology, the role of exemplary behavior, and strong collaboration between schools and families. Therefore, PAI not only serves as a medium for delivering religious values but also as a vital instrument for shaping Islamic character, enabling students to face moral and social challenges in the digital age.

The digital age has brought significant transformations to various sectors, including religious scholarship, where traditional structures of authority are being challenged by the rise of digital media and influencers. This study explores the implications of digital disruption in the Islamic context, focusing on how digital platforms are reshaping authority and epistemic legitimacy. In particular, the emergence of "religious digital creatives" is analyzed, highlighting how these influencers, often with little formal training but significant digital communication skills, have redefined religious authority. This shift away from traditional scholars, such as the ulama, who have been the custodians of religious knowledge, raises concerns about the authenticity and quality of religious teachings disseminated online. The study also examines the role of algorithm driven platforms, like AI-driven tafsir apps, and their impact on Islamic legal derivation and interpretation. While these platforms enhance accessibility, they also present challenges related to standardization and authenticity. By comparing traditional Islamic epistemology, which balances divine revelation, human reason, and scholarly rigor, with the decentralized authority of digital platforms, the study underscores the need for maintaining scholarly integrity and moral responsibility in the digital era. The research also highlights the importance of community trust in traditional scholarship, which is undermined by the lack of accountability in digital content. Ultimately, this study provides a framework for understanding the evolving relationship between Islamic epistemology and digital media, offering recommendations for preserving the core values of traditional scholarship while embracing the opportunities of digital innovation.

Character education is a fundamental aspect in the effort to shape individuals with morals, ethics, and responsibility amidst the currents of globalization and modernization. The phenomenon of moral crisis, ethical degradation, and dehumanization emphasizes the urgency of character education that is not only oriented towards intellectual intelligence, but also emphasizes spiritual and social values. In this context, the thoughts of Ahmad Amin, a modern Islamic thinker, are relevant to be re-examined. Ahmad Amin emphasized the importance of Islamic values ​​as a foundation for ethics and morality that are both universal and contextual, thus able to address the needs of modern humans who are facing complex challenges in various aspects of life. This study uses a library research method with a qualitative approach. The main data sources are Ahmad Amin's works related to the concept of morals and education, supplemented by supporting literature discussing character education and its relevance in today's development. The analysis was conducted descriptively and analytically to examine Ahmad Amin's ideas and relate them to the needs of modern society. The results of the study indicate that Ahmad Amin's thoughts on character education are rooted in Islamic moral principles that emphasize the balance between spiritual, intellectual, and social aspects. Values ​​such as honesty, responsibility, discipline, and social awareness are at the heart of healthy character development. This thinking is relevant to the needs of the modern era, marked by a moral crisis, and therefore can serve as an alternative paradigm for character education that adapts to current developments while remaining grounded in Islamic values. Therefore, it can be concluded that Ahmad Amin's thinking is not only of historical value but also makes a significant contribution to developing character education based on Islamic values, capable of maintaining spiritual orientation while addressing the challenges of modernity.

Divine love is the ultimate goal of human life and occupies the highest maqam in the spiritual journey. This love begins from self-love that grows because it always remembers the Creator (Allah), then dissolves in dhikr and deep spiritual contemplation, until a person begins to let go of his attachment to the world and prefers closeness to Allah. Love for Allah is a deep mental condition, in which the beloved (human) is willing to open the veil of his ego in order to welcome the presence of the true Lover (Allah). In this context, Jalaluddin Rumi's thinking is particularly relevant, especially when viewed philosophically as to how Divine love becomes possible to grow in a person. It can also be seen as an answer to the disruptive attempts of Western thought that tend to separate spirituality and human existence. Morality is a principle that is closely related to good and bad in human behavior. Human actions are inseparable from moral judgment, whether they are right or wrong, good or bad. Humans as spiritual beings have an awareness of the meaning and purpose of life, different from other beings who, although intelligent, do not have an existential dimension and transcendent consciousness. This awareness is the basis for the emergence of moral responsibility and the search for the true meaning of life. 

The worsening ecological crisis, such as the floods that hit Parapat, demands a serious response from various elements of society, including religious institutions. This article highlights the role of the Church, particularly Huria Kristen Batak Protestan (HKBP), in caring for nature in Tanah Batak as a form of faith and social responsibility. Using theological and socio-cultural approaches, this study analyzes the contribution of HKBP teachings and Pope Francis' call in the encyclical Laudato Si' to the ecological awareness of the people. It emphasizes that the HKBP doctrine of the wholeness of creation and community-based ecological movements can be transformative solutions to environmental degradation. Through a case study of flooding in Parapat, this article demonstrates the urgency of church involvement in ecological advocacy and environmental education, and the importance of synergy between faith, Batak culture, and concrete action for the sustainability of God's creation. The HKBP's teachings on the wholeness of creation align closely with Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’, which calls for a radical shift in how humanity perceives and interacts with nature. By emphasizing the interconnectedness of all life, the HKBP doctrine encourages its followers to view environmental stewardship not only as a moral obligation but as an essential expression of faith. This view aligns with Pope Francis' call for an "ecological conversion," urging individuals and communities to recognize their role in caring for God's creation. Through the case study of flooding in Parapat, this article illustrates the real-world implications of ecological negligence and the importance of church involvement in ecological advocacy. The HKBP, along with other religious and community-based movements, can spearhead efforts to integrate environmental education into their teachings and local initiatives.

Employee performance appraisal is an important process in human resource management that aims to evaluate individual work achievements based on certain criteria set by the organization. This process not only serves to assess the extent to which an employee meets work standards, but also serves as a basis for strategic decision-making, such as job promotions, bonus awards, and career development planning. However, in practice, CV. Surya Perkasa Makassar faces serious obstacles in the form of subjectivity in the assessment process, because the benchmarks used still tend to be based on the likes or dislikes of superiors. This causes the evaluation results to be less objective, inconsistent, and potentially reduce employee work motivation. To overcome these problems, this study aims to develop a decision support system for employee performance appraisal using the Tsukamoto Fuzzy Logic method. This method was chosen because it is able to accommodate uncertainty in the assessment, resulting in more objective, measurable, and consistent decisions. This study uses a Research and Development (R&D) approach with a Black Box Testing method to ensure system functionality. The assessment criteria used include five main aspects, namely work quality, work quantity, discipline, responsibility, and cooperation. Data from these criteria is processed through fuzzification, inference, and defuzzification stages to obtain the final employee performance score. Test results indicate that all system features function as expected. The system is able to prevent data duplication, validate input, and produce accurate final performance scores. The implementation of the Tsukamoto Fuzzy Logic method has proven effective in reducing the level of subjectivity that typically occurs in manual assessments. Therefore, this system can be used as a reliable tool in managerial decision-making, both regarding promotions, bonus awards, and planning employee future career development.  

This study aims to determine: 1) whether there are differences in social skills before and after the implementation of the Team Games Tournament (TGT) cooperative learning model and the direct learning model in the science subject for fourth-grade students of SDN X; and 2) how much influence the use of the TGT cooperative learning model has on students' social skills. The background of this study is based on the importance of developing social skills from an early age, especially through a collaborative learning approach that encourages active interaction between students. Social skills are considered essential for students to build collaboration, responsibility, and tolerance in classroom settings. The method used in this study is a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. The research sample consisted of fourth-grade students who were divided into two groups, namely the experimental class that implemented the TGT model and the control class that used direct learning. The research instrument was a social skills test sheet with four main indicators, namely cooperation, communication, responsibility, and tolerance. The cooperative learning model provides opportunities for students to learn not only academically but also socially through structured interaction. The results of the study showed a significant difference in the improvement of social skills between the experimental and control groups. Students in the experimental group experienced greater improvement in social skills, particularly in cooperation and communication. The TGT model has been proven to create a fun learning atmosphere, foster healthy competition, and encourage students to be more active in discussions and group activities. This finding confirms that TGT can be an effective strategy to improve students' social competence in elementary schools. Therefore, it can be concluded that the TGT cooperative learning model has a positive influence on improving students' social skills. This study recommends implementing TGT as an alternative effective learning strategy in science subjects in elementary schools.

A parenting seminar on maternal and child mental health organized by KPM UI Bunga Bangsa Cirebon students in Pegagan Village is a form of community service aimed at raising awareness and understanding of the importance of mental health in parenting. The limited knowledge of mental health issues in rural communities, coupled with high levels of stress experienced by parents, often negatively impacts parenting practices. This has the potential to hinder optimal child development, both physically, psychologically, and socially. Therefore, this activity was designed with a participatory approach, where the community is not merely an object but is also involved from the beginning of the planning process. This process includes coordination with village officials, seminars, and monitoring and evaluation stages, so that the community feels ownership and plays an active role in the program. The seminar featured speakers from psychology and legal academics who explained the relationship between parental mental health and fulfilling legal obligations to protect children's rights. The material presented emphasized how parental stress and emotions can affect child development, as well as the importance of parents' ability to manage the pressures of everyday life. Participants gained an understanding of strategies for maintaining mental health, including good time management, building open communication within the family environment, and strengthening social support as an emotional support system. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' awareness of the importance of mental health not only as an individual need, but also as a moral, social, and legal responsibility in creating a healthy, safe, and resilient family environment. Therefore, this parenting seminar can be seen as an effective educational strategy, not only strengthening parents' capacity to raise children but also building sustainable local support networks for the well-being of families and communities.

Stunting remains a significant health problem in rural areas, particularly due to the lack of father involvement in child care. The “Bapakku Hebat” program initiated by the Omben Health Center emerged as a breakthrough to strengthen the role of fathers in stunting prevention efforts through family health posts. This study adopted a qualitative descriptive approach to investigate the implementation, effects, and barriers of the program. The research findings indicated an increase in father involvement in health post activities, nutrition counseling, and child health monitoring. The program successfully reduced the prevalence of stunting risk by 10% in a year by increasing health post coverage and changing family behavior in providing nutrition. Key driving factors included inter-sectoral collaboration with village governments, health cadres, and farming communities that strengthened social networks and local resources. However, challenges remain, such as budget constraints, a lack of male cadres, and the influence of cultural norms that consider childcare as a woman’s responsibility. The “Bapakku Hebat” program shows that active father involvement can increase family awareness of the importance of fulfilling children’s nutrition. These findings emphasize the importance of gender-sensitive family health policies and cross-sectoral support to ensure the sustainability of the program. This research is expected to be a reference for other regions in implementing similar innovations to reduce the prevalence of stunting and improve the quality of child care. Furthermore, the success of the "My Great Father" program also demonstrates the importance of a community-based approach in public health interventions. The direct involvement of community leaders, religious leaders, and farmer groups in the program's outreach and implementation has proven effective in building a sense of ownership and increasing active community participation, particularly among fathers.

This study aims to analyze the influence of training and work discipline on employee performance in CV. Nina Etik Garment Indonesia. The approach used is a quantitative method by distributing questionnaires to 40 respondents who are permanent employees of the company. The independent variables in this study are training and work discipline, while the dependent variables are employee performance. The results of the study show that training has a positive effect on performance, but this influence is not optimal because there are still obstacles in the form of lack of understanding of the material by some employees. This shows that the effectiveness of training needs to be improved, both in terms of delivery methods, the quality of instructors, and the suitability of materials with work needs. Meanwhile, work discipline has been proven to have a significant influence on improving employee performance. Discipline factors, such as punctuality, compliance with rules, and responsibility for completing tasks, are important aspects that drive productivity. This research also found that undisciplined behavior still often occurs, such as being late or not complying with work procedures, which ultimately has an impact on decreasing the effectiveness of the company's operations. Simultaneously, training and work discipline have a significant effect on employee performance, so these two factors need to receive serious attention from management. The practical implication of this research is the need for companies to improve the quality of training programs, both technical and non-technical, so that employees are able to master skills relevant to their work. In addition, the implementation of a more firm, consistent, and measurable work discipline supervision system is also an important strategy to form a professional work culture.
