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.

Narcotics are substances or drugs, whether synthetic or semi-synthetic, derived from plants or non-plant materials that have the potential to cause disturbances or changes in human consciousness. Their use may result in loss of sensation, impaired taste, and, in more severe cases, strong dependency or addiction. While narcotics have undeniable benefits in the fields of medicine, healthcare, and scientific development—particularly in pain management and research—their misuse carries significant risks for both individuals and society. This study adopts a normative legal approach by analyzing existing regulations, statutory provisions, and relevant academic literature regarding narcotics and crime. The findings reveal that narcotics abuse is often closely linked to criminal behavior, as drug dependence can negatively influence psychological stability, decision-making, and social conduct, potentially driving individuals to engage in unlawful acts. Furthermore, crime is a relative concept shaped by context, culture, and societal norms, which means its connection with narcotics requires multidimensional analysis. Law enforcement efforts against narcotics-related crimes have been continuously pursued by authorities through preventive, repressive, and judicial measures, with various court rulings highlighting the gravity of the problem. However, legal enforcement alone is insufficient; a holistic strategy is needed that combines strict law enforcement with rehabilitation, psychological support, and community education. Such a comprehensive approach is expected to reduce narcotics misuse, prevent recidivism, and minimize its destructive impacts. Ultimately, this research seeks to provide deeper insights into the dynamic relationship between narcotics abuse and crime, while offering practical recommendations to achieve more effective solutions for protecting individuals, strengthening social resilience, and promoting public welfare

This article examines Herbert Marcuse's thoughts in One Dimensional Man as a critique of the dominance of technology and capitalism in shaping the one-dimensional consciousness of modern humans. Using a critical philosophical approach, this study examines how digital technology, which was originally projected as an instrument of liberation, has actually transformed into a subtle means of oppression through the mechanisms of false needs and irrational rationality. Instead of opening up a space for emancipation, technological developments often deepen human attachment to the logic of the consumption-oriented digital capitalist system. The main goal of this research is to reawaken critical awareness and human negation in the midst of virtual reality that increasingly dominates life in the Society 5.0 era. The results of the study show that digital humans tend to experience existential alienation, where deep reflection and authentic freedom are reduced by the flow of instant information, pseudo-entertainment, and consumptive lifestyles. This condition makes individuals trapped in a cycle of obedience to a system that seems rational, when in fact it covers structural dominance. The discussion emphasized the importance of emancipation efforts through the rejection of the dominant system and the reactivation of critical potential as a path to true freedom. Emancipation is understood not only as a release from the shackles of technology, but also as an effort to revive reflective consciousness that is able to negate false values. Thus, Marcuse's thought remains relevant to reading the crisis of contemporary human consciousness while providing a philosophical foundation for the formation of a reflective, independent, and autonomous subject.

This study aims to explore in depth the role of social media in strengthening the national identity of students in the Pematangsiantar City campus environment. National identity is seen as an important aspect in shaping the national consciousness of the younger generation, especially students who are in a critical phase of intellectual and social development. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation of students from various universities in Pematangsiantar City. The results show that students actively use social media to access, produce, and share content related to local culture, national history, national figures, and national issues relevant to their daily lives. Social media functions not only as a means of communication, but also as a space for expression and creativity that allows students to build national narratives independently, critically, and innovatively. The discussion emphasizes that amidst the rapid flow of globalization and the penetration of foreign cultures, social media plays a strategic role in maintaining national values, provided its use is directed in a reflective, educational, and responsible manner. In addition, social media has the potential to expand the reach of the dissemination of nationalist values in a more engaging way and in accordance with the communication style of the younger generation. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that social media can be an effective tool in shaping and strengthening national consciousness among students. This impact is long-term, contributing to character formation, national loyalty, and strengthening students' role as agents of change in maintaining national unity and integrity.  

This study aims to comparatively analyze the effects of two types of inhalation anesthetics, ether and chloroform, on Wistar rats, focusing on three main parameters: induction time, duration of anesthesia, and side effects. Selecting the appropriate anesthetic method is crucial in animal studies to ensure animal welfare and the validity of the results. Twenty male Wistar rats, with an average body weight of 200–250 grams and 10–12 weeks of age, were randomly divided into two treatment groups of 10 rats each. The first group was anesthetized using ether, while the second group was anesthetized using chloroform, with doses adjusted to achieve adequate levels of anesthesia. Measurements were made of the induction time, which is the interval from the start of anesthetic exposure until the loss of the pedal reflex; the duration of anesthesia, which is the length of time until the rat regains consciousness; and clinical observations of any side effects that appear, both during and after anesthesia. The results showed that the ether group had a relatively longer induction time than the chloroform group. However, ether provided a longer and more stable duration of anesthesia, with a better recovery rate. In contrast, chloroform produced a shorter induction time but was accompanied by a shorter duration of anesthesia and a higher risk of side effects, particularly liver dysfunction and respiratory depression. These findings reinforce previous reports that chloroform has significant potential toxicity, and its use in animal research should be limited. Based on these results, ether is recommended as a relatively safe inhalation anesthetic option for laboratory procedures in Wistar rats, although its use still requires strict supervision and appropriate handling procedures to ensure the safety of both researchers and experimental animals.

This study aims to explore the concept of Qur’anic Spiritual Intelligence and its role in developing high-quality human resources, with a specific focus on the implementation at SMAIT Ash-Shohwah Berau. Qur’anic Spiritual Intelligence refers to a form of spiritual capacity derived from deep interaction with the Qur’an, encompassing the intelligence of the spirit, soul, heart, and moral consciousness. This research employs a qualitative method with a case study approach to provide an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with teachers and students, participant observations during religious and academic activities, and documentation analysis of school programs. The findings reveal that the cultivation of Qur’anic Spiritual Intelligence at SMAIT Ash-Shohwah Berau is systematically integrated into the school’s curriculum and extracurricular programs, particularly through the high-quality Tahfidzul Qur’an program, which is mandatory for all students. The process of memorizing the Qur’an is not only aimed at achieving mastery of verses but also at nurturing closeness to Allah SWT, shaping attitudes and values that form the foundation of high-quality human resources. Students participating in the program demonstrate notable improvements in discipline, responsibility, enthusiasm for learning, social competence, emotional regulation, honesty, independence, and leadership skills. Furthermore, the study highlights that Qur’anic Spiritual Intelligence serves as a transformative element, influencing both academic achievement and personal character. It fosters an integrated development that balances intellectual capability with moral integrity, enabling students to contribute meaningfully to society. The results suggest that embedding Qur’anic Spiritual Intelligence in educational settings can be a strategic pathway for producing graduates who are not only academically competent but also spiritually grounded and socially responsible. This has significant implications for Islamic education institutions aiming to develop comprehensive human resources aligned with Qur’anic values and the demands of the modern world.

This study aims to analyze the effect of green marketing on purchase decision with brand image as a mediating variable among consumers of Satvika Bhoga in Denpasar. The research is grounded in the increasing consumer awareness of environmental issues, which has not yet been fully reflected in consistent purchasing behavior toward environmentally friendly products. Despite a rise in environmental consciousness, many consumers remain skeptical or indifferent unless a brand manages to build a credible and positive image aligned with eco-friendly values. Employing a quantitative approach with an associative research design, data were collected through structured questionnaires distributed to Satvika Bhoga consumers, selected using purposive sampling. The analysis was conducted using path analysis and the Sobel test to assess both direct and indirect relationships among variables. These methods allowed the researchers to examine not only the magnitude of influence but also the mediating role of brand image in shaping purchase decisions. The results indicate that green marketing has a positive and significant effect on purchase decision and significantly strengthens Satvika Bhoga’s brand image as an environmentally conscious brand. Furthermore, brand image was found to have a strong and statistically significant influence on purchase decision, confirming its role as a partial mediator. This implies that green marketing efforts, such as eco-friendly packaging, sustainable sourcing, and environmental messaging, not only influence consumer decisions directly but also enhance the overall brand perception, which in turn further motivates consumers to make purchases. Thus, businesses aiming to improve eco-product sales should prioritize consistent green marketing strategies that reinforce a trustworthy and environmentally responsible brand image.

This study aims to investigate the role of Pancasila and Islamic Religious Education (PAI) as a foundation for cultivating a legal culture within Indonesian society through the lens of Islamic Sociological Jurisprudence Theory. The motivation for this research arises from the low levels of legal awareness and compliance, which reveal a gap between existing legal norms and the social behaviors of the populace. The research employs a qualitative method with both conceptual and sociological approaches, which examines the fusion of Pancasila values and Islamic teachings in fostering internal and collective legal awareness. The findings indicate that Pancasila, as the foundational state philosophy, holds normative values that align with the principles of Islamic teachings in PAI, particularly in promoting social ethics and legal responsibility. Within the framework of Islamic Sociological Jurisprudence Theory, law is perceived not only as normative rules but also as a sociocultural phenomenon shaped by religious values and traditions. This integration can lead to a deeper legal consciousness, thereby encouraging compliance with the law that stems not from coercion but from the moral and religious awareness of the community. Hence, the collaboration between Pancasila, PAI, and the sociological approach of Islam proves to be an effective strategy for establishing a lasting legal culture in Indonesia.

This study aims to comprehensively examine the concept of gratitude (shukr) from the perspective of the Qur'an by employing a thematic interpretation approach ( tafsīr al-maw ḍ ū'ī ) combined with the grounded theory method. This dual approach allows for an in-depth exploration of Qur'anic verses related to gratitude while also constructing theoretical frameworks derived directly from the primary data—namely, the Qur'anic text itself. The research adopts a qualitative, library-based methodology, where relevant verses are collected, categorized, and regularly analyzed to understand how gratitude is depicted, what forms it takes, and how it influences human life. The findings reveal that gratitude in the Qur'an goes beyond verbal expressions of gratitude to God. It encompasses inner awareness, acknowledgment of divine favor, wise utilization of blessings, and concrete actions that reflect obedience to God. Gratitude is presented as an active response to divine grace, resulting in positive behavior, spiritual closeness, and the strengthening of ethical and social dimensions in a believer's life. Moreover, the Qur'an affirms that those who are grateful are not only spiritually elevated but also promised an increase in blessings and a noble status in the sight of God. In the current socio-religious context, the value of gratitude holds significant relevance as a foundation for character development and emotional resilience. This study affirms that gratitude is a universal Islamic value that integrates theological, psychological, and ethical aspects. Thus, it is expected that this research contributes both theoretically and practically to the development of thematic Qur'anic studies and a deeper understanding of spiritual consciousness.

This study aims to identify and analyze the ratio legis of the principle that the Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) program needs to be regulated and adhered to. Furthermore, this research also seeks to examine the legal consequences of the Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) program. The awareness of the special position of land in the Indonesian national consciousness is also revealed in the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA), which states the eternal relationship between the Indonesian people and the land. However, the term “controlled” in Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution does not imply that the state is the owner. The general explanation of the 1960 UUPA clarifies that the state (government) only controls the land. The meaning of land being “controlled” does not equate to “owned” but rather refers to certain authorities granted to the state as a power organization. Ownership of land rights must be proven by authentic or valid evidence in the form of a land rights certificate, where such certified ownership is an absolute requirement. Therefore, the Indonesian Government, through the Regulation of the Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency Number 6 of 2018 concerning Complete Systematic Land Registration, aims to facilitate the implementation of systematic and complete land registration as a government program. From this explanation, it can be concluded that the ratio legis of the Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) program principle requires regulation and adherence to provide guarantees of legal certainty, transparency of information related to land parcels that can be utilized by legitimate parties, and ensure orderly administration in the field of land affairs, thereby delivering benefits and justice.

This article explores the integration of creative and historical tourism through a comparative examination of two prominent cultural destinations in East Java, Indonesia: Bandar Grisse in Gresik and the Bung Karno Memorial Park in Blitar. Bandar Grisse, a revitalized old-town district, exemplifies a unique urban tourism model that blends colonial architectural heritage with a contemporary pedestrian-friendly layout reminiscent of Malioboro Street in Yogyakarta. Central to its historical significance is the Garling (Gardu Suling), an iconic heritage structure equipped with a siren, strategically located amidst a multicultural urban fabric encompassing Dutch, Arab, Chinese, and indigenous settlements. The institutionalization of the “Bandar Grisse” tourism brand has catalyzed a series of recurring cultural events, including the annual Bandar Grisse Festival and the biweekly Cokro Ekraf Festival, fostering local creative economies. Complementing this urban heritage is the Bung Karno Memorial Park, a monumental site that not only serves as the final resting place of Indonesia’s first president but also as a locus of national remembrance and civic education. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, this study underscores the symbiotic relationship between heritage preservation and cultural innovation in promoting sustainable tourism rooted in local identity and historical consciousness.

MUI Decree Number 83 of 2023 encourages a boycott of Israeli goods, which benefits the Muslim economy while cutting demand

The problem of waste dumping on Bali coast must be regarded as an ecological crisis which proves to be unseen under many perspectives. The article is about the making of a documentary film Apocalyptic Tides as an advocacy and educational tool bringing up this issue by means of the expository documentary style with highlights of poetry and performance elements in play. The method of field observation, semi-structured interviews with activist and scholars and visual documentation are also used in the research, followed by analysis and compiling of information with the help of non-linear editing tools by using Adobe Premiere Pro software. The film is set on a thematic narrative that shows the process of the waste as it goes upstream to downstream and how it affects the ecology and thoughts on the ecological consciousness. Techniques of non-linear editing were applied to organize the footage according to emotional echo and the schemes of meaning instead of the chronological order, thus creating an intellectually stimulating and reflective storyline. Apocalyptic Tides proves the power of documentary film to bridge the gap between art, science, and advocacy in case of creating the ecology-minded population.

This study aims to explore how the transformation of civic consciousness in the digital era plays a role in shaping a more tolerant society, especially in responding to the issue of racism that is developing on social media. Using a qualitative approach through a case study method, this study analyzes various forms of digital citizen participation in dealing with discriminatory content. Data collection techniques were carried out through social media content analysis, literature review, and thematic interpretation based on two main theories, namely Digital Citizenship (Ribble, 2011) and Critical Consciousness (Freire, 1970). The results of the study found five main things: (1) the emergence of educational and emancipatory counter-narratives; (2) the transformation of individual expression into a collective movement through digital activism; (3) the important role of digital figures and alternative media in shaping tolerant public opinion; (4) the diversity of public responses, from progressive to regressive; and (5) structural challenges in the form of opinion polarization, the spread of disinformation, and the echo chamber effect. This study concludes that although social media is a complex and challenging space, it still has great potential as a vehicle for civic education and a tool for social transformation towards a society that values ​​diversity and upholds the values ​​of justice.

This study explores the potential of animation as a visual medium for reconstructing local myths and preserving cultural heritage in contemporary society. Amid rapid globalization and digitalization, many local myths are at risk of fading from public consciousness. The objective of this research is to analyze how animation can serve as an effective storytelling tool to revitalize and transmit traditional narratives to younger generations. Using a qualitative method with a case study approach, the study examines selected animated works that reinterpret local myths from various regions in Indonesia. The findings indicate that animation provides a dynamic platform to reintroduce mythological elements through engaging visuals and narratives while maintaining cultural authenticity. Moreover, the integration of modern visual techniques helps bridge the generational gap, making traditional stories more relatable and accessible. This study highlights the role of visual communication in cultural sustainability and encourages further interdisciplinary collaboration in the fields of design, folklore, and education.

The introduction of toxic substances or energy into the environment degrades environmental quality, which in turn can have negative effects on living things like human health, biodiversity, and the global climate. This multi-faceted problem has far-reaching consequences for ecosystems and human life. For Indonesia, this has grown into a major problem throughout the last several decades. Water, air, soil, and noise pollution have all seen dramatic increases due to the expansion of cities, the industrial sector, and the proliferation of motor vehicles. All four forms of Indonesian environmental pollution—air, water, soil, and noise—are covered in this research, along with their origins, effects on human and environmental health, and potential solutions, both governmental and grassroots. A literature review of secondary sources, such as government papers, scientific journals, and other official publications, is employed as the technique. This document is written with the intention of drawing attention to the significance of environmental protection and offering broad preventative actions. According to the results, industrial operations, automobiles, household garbage, and a general lack of environmental consciousness are the main causes of pollution. Hence, in order to lessen the impact of pollution and enhance environmental quality, technological solutions, regulatory laws, and communities that are both interdisciplinary and collaborative are crucial tools.

The growth of digital platforms has driven significant transformations in marketing communication strategies, particularly in e-commerce advertising practices. Shopee, as one of the largest e-commerce companies in Indonesia, utilizes digital propaganda strategies through visual and audio content to shape consumer perception and behavior. The advertisement with the slogan "Belanja Seru, Hidup Lebih Mudah" (Fun Shopping, Easier Life) not only conveys promotional messages but also constructs social meanings of consumption, convenience, and happiness through symbols and visual narratives. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method using literature review techniques to analyze the message structure and communication strategies embedded in Shopee advertisements. The analysis considers visual, symbolic, and repetitive elements that function as covert propaganda mechanisms. The theoretical framework is based on propaganda communication and semiotic theory to understand how advertisements systematically shape consumerist consciousness. Findings reveal that propaganda in Shopee’s advertisements operates through symbolic repetition, celebrity endorsement, and the use of digital features such as limited-time promotions that trigger impulsive behavior. These practices contribute to the formation of digital consumer culture, supported by emotional engagement and algorithmic targeting. Media literacy enhancement is therefore essential to equip the public with critical awareness towards persuasive messages in digital spaces.

This study explores the rise of campus-based Sharia activism and its influence on legal consciousness and youth mobilization within Muslim communities, particularly in Southeast Asia. Amid increasing religiosity among Muslim students, campus organizations such as Lembaga Dakwah Kampus (LDK) have played pivotal roles in shaping Islamic legal understanding through peer-based intellectualism, digital engagement, and gender-inclusive discourse. Despite growing activism, empirical research remains limited, prompting this study to adopt a library research methodology. Drawing from academic sources published over the past five years, the study employs qualitative content analysis to identify key patterns and themes related to youth engagement with Sharia law. The findings reveal that student activism fosters a dynamic legal consciousness that blends traditional jurisprudence with contemporary concerns such as human rights, gender equity, and digital ethics. Peer-led discussions, digital platforms, and inclusive legal education emerge as crucial tools in this transformation. Youth activists are not passive recipients of religious authority but active agents who reinterpret Sharia in light of lived realities.
