Learning the Qur'an in Islamic Elementary Schools requires an approach that emphasizes not only reading skills but also understanding the meaning and internalizing the Qur'anic values ​​contextually. However, learning practices that are still dominated by conventional methods have the potential to reduce student engagement and interest in learning, especially in narrative materials such as animal stories in the Qur'an. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Qur'anic Magic Cards media as a learning medium for animals in the Qur'an in increasing the understanding and interest in learning of students in Islamic Elementary Schools. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that the use of the Qur'anic Magic Cards media can help students understand the meaning of verses more concretely, increase active involvement during learning, and foster interest in learning the Qur'anic material. This media also contributes to creating a fun, contextual, and meaningful learning atmosphere, so that the messages of the Qur'an are not only understood textually but also internalized in the learning process. Thus, the Magic Quran Cards can be used as an innovative and relevant alternative Quranic learning medium for implementation in Islamic Elementary Schools (Madrasah Ibtidaiyah).

The implementation of the zoning-based admission policy (PPDB) in Semarang City continues to face challenges related to the accuracy of distance measurement and the transparency of information provided to the public. This study aims to examine the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in defining zoning boundaries for public junior high schools in Semarang City and integrating the results into a web-based information platform. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed, incorporating spatial analysis through a 3-kilometer buffer radius using QGIS software. The results indicate that buffer analysis is effective in delineating priority domicile zones based on school coordinate data. These findings are integrated into a GIS-based website that presents visual information on school locations, enrollment capacity, and final score calculation mechanisms in accordance with current regulations. The proposed system contributes to improving information transparency, enabling the public to better understand admission opportunities while supporting government decision-making in promoting equitable access to education. For future development, the use of road network analysis is recommended to obtain more realistic distance estimations.

This community service activity aims to improve the promotional capabilities of early childhood education (PAUD) schools by utilizing the Kids Art Space facility as an educational medium featured in school flyers.

Learning Al-Qur’an and Hadith in secondary schools is still largely influenced by traditional assessment practices that prioritize written examinations and memorization, which are insufficient to capture students’ actual competencies. This situation often leads to less meaningful learning and limits the development of students’ deep understanding and Islamic character. In essence, Al-Qur’an and Hadith education is intended not only to ensure mastery of theoretical content but also to encourage the internalization and application of Islamic values in everyday life. For this reason, authentic assessment is viewed as a suitable approach because it evaluates learning outcomes in a more comprehensive manner, covering cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. This study aims to analyze the implementation of authentic assessment in Al-Qur’an and Hadith learning at the secondary school level and to examine its effectiveness in improving students’ understanding and learning engagement. The research employed a quantitative method, with data collected through a Google Form questionnaire distributed to students and analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results demonstrate that authentic assessment contributes to deeper conceptual understanding, enhances practical skills such as proper Qur’anic recitation based on tajwid rules and hadith memorization, and promotes active, confident, and responsible learning attitudes. Overall, authentic assessment provides more meaningful learning experiences and represents an effective alternative assessment strategy to improve the quality of Al-Qur’an and Hadith learning in secondary schools.

The prohibition of proposing to a woman during her ‘iddah period constitutes an Islamic legal provision that is firmly grounded in the normative foundations of the Qur’an and fiqh. This provision aims to preserve the clarity of lineage, protect women’s dignity, and maintain order within the legal framework of marriage. This article examines, from a normative perspective, the prohibition of proposing to a woman during her ‘iddah according to the Shāfi‘ī school of law. The study employs a normative legal research method with a qualitative approach through library research, drawing upon the Qur’an, hadith, and authoritative (mu‘tabar) Shāfi‘ī fiqh texts. The findings indicate that the Shāfi‘ī school strictly prohibits explicit proposals to women during all types of ‘iddah, including ‘iddah resulting from revocable divorce (ṭalāq raj‘ī), irrevocable divorce (ṭalāq bā’in), annulment (fasakh), and death. As for indirect proposals (ta‘rīḍ), they are permitted only for women whose ‘iddah is not accompanied by a right of reconciliation, such as ‘iddah due to death and ‘iddah of ṭalāq bā’in, while remaining prohibited during ‘iddah raj‘ī. This legal ruling reflects the prudence of the Shāfi‘ī school in preventing the occurrence of invalid marriage contracts and affirms the function of ‘iddah as an instrument of Islamic legal regulation rather than merely a biological waiting period.

This study aims to examine the responses and levels of understanding of eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 4 Pasuruan City regarding trademark disputes, particularly the “Geprek Bensu” case. The research employs a descriptive quantitative approach, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to students as respondents. The questionnaire was designed to describe students’ understanding of the concept of trademarks, the benefits of trademark registration, and their views on the causes of trademark disputes. The results indicate that most students are familiar with the “Geprek Bensu” case and understand trademarks as a business identity and a means of product differentiation. The majority of respondents are also aware that trademark registration provides legal protection and exclusive rights to the trademark owner. However, students’ understanding of trademark law remains varied, as some respondents still associate trademark ownership with popularity alone. In addition, students demonstrate a positive attitude toward the importance of intellectual property education from an early stage through formal education. These findings emphasize the need to strengthen Intellectual Property Rights literacy at the secondary school level in order to enhance legal awareness and prevent trademark disputes in the future.
