Waqf is an act of worship that has a social and economic pattern because in the development of Islamic civilisation, from the development of science to its heyday, it cannot be separated from the role of Rasullulah and his companions who continued to struggle to spread Islam throughout the world, one of which was by using the waqf method because the waqf property or object is often used as a centre for the development of science and Islam in ancient times, for example the construction of mosque buildings and financing wars. Because waqf is an act of worship that is highly recommended for every Muslim. In addition, waqf worship is also explained in the Koran that people who endow their assets for the benefit of the ummah who have benefits, the rewards will continue to flow even though the person has died, which makes people flock to carry out waqf worship. However, it is not uncommon for there to be a lot of abuse committed by nazirs, starting from their unprofessional attitude because nazirs are often used as additional income for them to hoard wealth. So it is very important to find a nadzhir as a zakat manager who has a trustworthy nature because actually this waqf must continue to be developed to be more productive and useful, therefore the Indonesian government continues to make efforts to revise the rules regarding nazir because there are still many irregularities committed largely due to weak administrative sanctions and criminal sanctions for them.

Modern education often emphasizes cognitive and technological aspects, while spiritual aspects are often neglected. In fact, in Islamic educational philosophy, the integration of spiritual values ​​is an important part in forming the character of students who are moral and competitive. This study aims to (1) analyze the concept of Islamic educational philosophy from the perspective of integrating spiritual values, (2) identify spiritual values ​​that can be integrated into the modern education system, and (3) explore effective strategies in their implementation.

The results of the study indicate that Islamic educational philosophy emphasizes a balance between intellectual and spiritual aspects to form individuals who have high moral awareness. Spiritual values ​​such as monotheism, morals, and worship can be adapted into a modern curriculum through contextual and experience-based learning methods. The implementation of this integration strategy includes a holistic approach in the curriculum, teacher training, and the creation of a learning environment that supports the spiritual growth of students. Thus, the integration of spiritual values ​​in modern education contributes to the formation of a more complete and balanced character.

Learning strategies are crucial because this is the first step given by the teacher. The step that needs to be considered is determining the learning strategy that will accommodate the development of students. The main teacher can choose the best teaching methods and strategies to create excellent learning, adjust the material to the students' abilities, and enable students to receive knowledge transfer. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach to explore project-based religious learning strategies applied in the Islamic Religious Education subject at SMP Muhammadiyah 05 Medan Denai. This approach was chosen to deeply explore the practices, experiences, and impact of learning on the religious awareness of the students. Interviews with students show that involvement in the project has made them better understand religious values in real life. Some students admitted to starting to pray on time, being more diligent in reading the Quran, and being more concerned about the social environment. This shows that the religious project encourages the internalization of values through direct experience, not just memorization or theory. This learning not only strengthens the understanding of Islamic material but also instills religious values through real practices that can be directly experienced by the students. Some forms of projects, such as mini-dawah, infaq movements, and adab campaigns, have proven to enrich students' experiences and enhance their awareness of Islamic values in daily life. Islamic education teachers play an important role as facilitators, not only guiding students in project activities but also providing space for reflection and evaluation. Students feel more motivated and actively engaged in the learning process, which leads to changes in their religious behavior, such as increased discipline in worship and a greater sense of care for their surroundings.    

Generation Z (born 1997–2012) in Indonesia experiences an increase in anxiety disorders due to social media pressure, academic stress, social isolation, and future uncertainty. Modern psychological approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy are widely used, but often do not involve the spiritual aspects that are important in Indonesian culture. This research aims to examine the handling of anxiety in Generation Z through the perspective of Islamic philosophy, especially the thought of Ibn Sina. The method used is a literature study with a qualitative descriptive approach. The results of the study show that Ibn Sina views mental health as a balance between body, soul, and intellect (vegetable, animal, and rational nafs). It offers a holistic approach that includes physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual therapies, such as art, music, prayer, and dhikr. This approach has the potential to help Generation Z deal with anxiety not only from a medical perspective, but also through strengthening the meaning of life and spirituality. The contribution of this research is to provide a philosophical framework that integrates modern psychological interventions with Islamic spiritual traditions, thereby offering a more culturally relevant approach to dealing with anxiety in adolescents.

The transformation of Islamic art is a long process that occurs through the interaction of various cultures.

However, the most prominent dynasty in India was the Mughal Dynasty. The Mughals were an Islamic dynasty that ruled India from the 16th century to the 19th century. It was one of the three major dynasties (Mughals, Ottoman Turks and Safavids) that emerged during the medieval period. The Mughal Dynasty had a major role in the development of Islam in India, ranging from politics, economics, arts and culture, religion, to the field of knowledge. The results showed that the success of the Mughal Dynasty in building the peak of Islamic civilization in India amidst the dominance of Hinduism was the result of an inclusive and tolerant policy of religious pluralism.

The curriculum and learning of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at the Senior High School (SMA) level face significant challenges in line with the dynamics of modern society, especially in strategic areas such as Batam City, which is multicultural and industry-oriented. Curriculum innovation is an urgent necessity to ensure that PAI learning can meet the demands of the times and strengthen students' character. This study aims to identify and develop a relevant and applicable model of curriculum and PAI learning innovation in SMA Batam City. The research method used is qualitative with a library research approach. Data were obtained through a literature review of academic books, scientific journals, and official documents relevant to the theme of curriculum and PAI learning innovation. The analysis was conducted descriptively and analytically on various existing curriculum models and innovation processes. The results of the study show that several innovation models can be adapted in the development of PAI curriculum and learning in high schools, including the R-D-D model (Research, Development, and Diffusion), the Organizational Development model, and the Configuration model. These three models provide a systematic approach to the educational innovation process, from design and implementation to diffusion and routinization within the school environment. In addition, the proposed innovation process follows the dynamic initiation and implementation stages based on the theories of Rogers and Zaltman. In conclusion, the development of curriculum and PAI learning innovation models in SMA Batam City needs to consider the local socio-cultural conditions, teacher readiness, and institutional support. The appropriate implementation of these models is believed to improve the quality of religious education to be more contextual, adaptive, and impactful on the formation of students’ character.
