Islamic education plays a vital role not only in cognitive development but also in nurturing students’ moral and spiritual values, which significantly contribute to emotional intelligence. This study explores how Islamic education aids in developing students' abilities to recognize, manage, and express emotions in positive and constructive ways. Core Islamic principles such as patience (ṣabr), trust in God (tawakkul), and maintaining good relationships (silaturrahim) are emphasized as essential components in shaping emotional resilience and empathy. By integrating these values into the curriculum, Islamic education fosters a supportive and value-based learning environment that encourages holistic development. The study highlights that emotional intelligence in Islamic education is not treated as a separate discipline but as an integral part of character formation and spiritual growth. Through classroom practices, religious teachings, and interpersonal interactions, students are guided to internalize emotional maturity aligned with ethical and spiritual ideals. As a result, Islamic education contributes to the balanced development of intellect, emotion, and morality, equipping students with the emotional and social skills necessary for personal well-being and community life.

The early rise of the national movement in Indonesia was marked by the establishment of Budi Utomo on May 20, 1908, and the expansion of Sarekat Islam as a broader socio-political movement. Budi Utomo, focusing on education and the welfare of indigenous people, pioneered national awareness among the Javanese intellectual elite. Meanwhile, Sarekat Islam, initially a trade organization, successfully attracted various social groups and expanded the national struggle into economic and social justice domains. Despite their different approaches, both organizations played a crucial role in fostering national consciousness, inspiring the emergence of other nationalist movements. The synergy between intellectual and socio-economic movements became a vital foundation in Indonesia’s struggle for independence.

This article examines the concept of wisdom in Proverbs 1:7 as an ethical guideline for the growth of Christian faith. In the midst of modern challenges such as moral relativism, secularization, and the crisis of spiritual authority, a re-understanding of Biblical wisdom becomes a significant theological urgency. Through a hermeneutical-theological approach, this study integrates exegesis of the text of Proverbs 1:7 with contextual analysis and ethical reflection to show that the “fear of the LORD” is the epistemological and moral foundation of the believer's life. Wisdom, in the biblical sense, functions not only as a rational faculty, but also as a divine gift that shapes character, deepens relationship with God, and enables believers to live ethically in society. The results show that the growth of true Christian faith is reflected in an active spirituality and ethical actions that are rooted in a God-fearing relationship. Thus, Proverbs 1:7 is not only a theological basis, but also relevant as a practical principle in shaping an authentic and transformative Christian life in the contemporary era.

Technology-driven Islamic propagation (da’wah) has emerged as a transformative paradigm in disseminating religious teachings in the digital age. The rapid advancement of social media platforms and artificial intelligence (AI) tools has significantly expanded the reach and influence of preachers, enabling more personalized and interactive engagement with diverse audiences. This study aims to explore innovative strategies in planning digital da’wah and to examine the challenges that arise, including the proliferation of misinformation, regulatory constraints, and the rise of underqualified digital preachers. Employing a qualitative approach through literature review and critical analysis of prior studies, this research highlights the potential of integrating data analytics, AI-based personalization, and digital media to enhance the effectiveness of Islamic messaging. However, it also underscores the pressing need for ethical frameworks and regulatory compliance to safeguard the integrity of religious content. The findings advocate for a structured, research-informed approach to digital da’wah that aligns with Islamic ethical principles while remaining adaptive to contemporary technological trends. Such an approach is essential to ensure that technological innovations serve as tools for meaningful religious engagement rather than sources of distortion or misinterpretation

Effective church service is rooted in spiritual education from an early age, especially through Sunday School. II Timothy 3:15–17 emphasises the role of Scripture in shaping character and readiness for every good deed. This study aims to examine the effect of the Sunday School curriculum based on this verse on the interest of the congregation in serving the Jakarta Baptist Citra Indah City Jonggol Church. A theologically strong and pedagogically planned curriculum is believed to be able to transform the faith of children and teenagers into concrete actions in ministry. In Christian education, teaching is not only informative but also transformative, integrating faith and action. A Bible-based Sunday school curriculum can serve as a means of shaping character, faith, and awareness of a call to ministry from an early age. The interest in service itself is an internal drive that encourages a person's active involvement in service activities in response to God's calling. This study is expected to provide practical contributions to local churches in designing relevant and applicable spiritual curricula, as well as being able to foster a generation of ministers who are militant, loving, and ready to carry out their roles in the church and society.

Pastoral ministry is a divine calling that demands faithfulness, vigilance, and wholehearted love in caring for God’s flock. However, in the reality of ministry, many church shepherds face complex and burdensome challenges in fulfilling this responsibility. A failure to understand and implement authority based on the character of Christ often becomes the root problem in pastoral ministry. This study aims to explore the dynamics of pastoral ministry in the context of today’s church, particularly in light of 1 Peter 5:1–4. The approach used is qualitative descriptive, based on a literature review, with a focus on relevant theological and pastoral works. The findings reveal that many pastors experience spiritual and emotional exhaustion, especially when their ministry lacks support from an adequate organizational structure, or when the congregation’s expectations are misaligned with the church’s mission. In this context, true shepherding—as explained by figures such as Bill Lawrence and Phil Pringle—must be rooted in Christ as the Head of the Church. A pastor is called to serve with humility, not to dominate or pursue personal interests. Furthermore, a deep understanding of the biblical metaphor concerning the relationship between shepherd and sheep is essential to avoid distortions in meaning and deviant ministry practices. An emphasis on love, responsibility, and exemplary conduct becomes the foundational framework for building an integrous pastoral ministry. This study concludes that pastoral ministry will be more effective when supported by clear church organizational policies, a deep theological foundation, and pure ministry motivations. Thus, pastoral ministry is not merely an administrative task, but a manifestation of God's love expressed through the lives of His servants.

This study aims to reveal parenting strategies in shaping the character of Christian children's faith amidst the challenges of the modern era. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation, this study was conducted in a local church environment. The findings show that Christian parents implement three main strategies, namely: exemplary living based on the teachings of Christ, spiritual discipline through family worship activities, and creating quality time with children. Despite facing challenges such as busy work, the influence of digital media, and inconsistent behavior, most parents still try to evaluate themselves and maintain the values ​​of faith in the household. Effective parenting is not only instructional, but also relational and spiritual, emphasizing the importance of the role of parents as real life role models. The results of this study are expected to be a reference for churches, Christian schools, and parent communities in developing strategies for fostering children's faith in a sustainable manner amidst the dynamic development of the era.

Memorizing the Qur’an is not just about the ability to store verses in memory, but also about how to maintain those memorized verses so that they remain strong and enduring in the long term. At MA Raudlatul Ulum Putri, the tahfidz activity is an essential part of the daily routine of the female students, and the method of takror (repetition) is implemented as the main strategy to support the sustainability of their memorization. This study aims to describe how the takror method is implemented in the Qur’an Memorization program and its impact on students' retention of memorized verses. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data was collected through observations, interviews with the tahfidz teachers, and several students.  The findings show that the implementation of takror is carried out in three stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. All activities are organized by one teacher responsible for tahfidz, and are conducted in a special class that accommodates takror time separately from general lessons. This takror method not only strengthens the students' memory of the verses they have memorized but also fosters a sense of responsibility, discipline, and provides tranquility and satisfaction for the students in the process of memorizing the Qur’an).

The existence of various views on the Incarnation of Christ often causes confusion. Each view provides different arguments. Therefore, a biblical study is needed to provide answers based on biblical principles. The methodology applied is exegesis. Exegesis is a way to interpret the Bible by emphasizing different approaches in the analysis of the original languages of the Bible as the main foundation. In this way, a biblical truth is obtained that can answer the various views that exist. The term incarnation comes from the Latin incarnatio which is composed of in and carnis (in the flesh). This term comes from the Greek translation “σὰρξ sarx sarcosis. Literally, σὰρξ sarcosis means to become flesh. Flesh is literally the muscular part that covers the bones of the human body. Synecdically (a figure of speech that uses a part of something to represent the whole or vice versa, to create a rhetorical or creative effect), it means the physical body as a whole flesh, which is related to the scope of the human worldly situation or mortal nature, earthly descent, blood ties, ethnic groups, and races. In general, this term gives the impression of weakness, fragility, mortality, and participation in human nature. The term σὰρξ – sarx sarcosis is closely related to the opening of the Gospel of John which reveals the word that became flesh (John 1:14). The term flesh (Greek: σὰρξ sarx) in biblical terminology refers to humans with all their anthropological dimensions. In theological terminology, The incarnation is a historical fact that explains that the invisible God, who spoke His word to humans, now clearly appeared as a human being. Jesus Christ is the Word of God who became flesh (John 1:14)

Happiness is a word that is the obsession of every living human being, but many people are trapped in false happiness, so a discussion about happiness in this world and the hereafter is needed to be used as a guide. This article aims to explore the key to happiness in this world and the hereafter from the perspective of KH. Husain Ilyas Mojokerto, with a character study setting. The result: that the key to happiness in this world and the hereafter is to have three attitudes and behaviors, namely: As-Shofa, Al-Wafa, and Al-Jafa. As-Shofa means learning to cleanse the heart, learning from others who are more successful. Al-Wafa means keeping promises, not breaking your own words, not being a hypocrite. Al-Jafa means not being affected by praise, not being surprised when being cursed or insulted. These three concepts indicate that the essence of true happiness is not a matter of material things, but how to cultivate attitudes and behaviors that are reflections from the depths of the heart. This finding provides a direction for further research on true happiness that is multifunctional, namely the world and the hereafter. This study is expected to be useful for the direction of future research.

Families with disabled members often face physical, emotional, social, and spiritual challenges.

This study aims to conduct an in-depth examination on the concept of Buddhist economic based on the principles of the Buddha’s teachings in the Sutta Pitaka. The methodology used in this research is descriptive qualitative with literature analysis, collecting data obtained from both primary and secondary sources. The primary source refers to the main Buddhist scripture, the Tipitaka, especially the Sutta Pitaka section. Secondary sources include books, journals, and articles relevant to the topic, which help to enrich the discussion on the concept of Buddhist economic. The research results show that the Buddhist economic is an approach that integrates the principles of Buddha’s teachings with the practice of wealth accumulation and management based on ethics and morality. Buddhism is a religion that emphasizes moral practice, so the right way to accumulate wealth is by not neglecting Buddhist morality. Human welfare should not be achieved by harming other beings or damaging the environment. Proper wealth management is the wisdom in using wealth to support the achievement of welfare. This study provides an important contribution to Buddhist knowledge about the correct strategies for wealth accumulation and management that support economic growth and welfare while prioritizing morality.

This study examines the concept of hibah (gift) in Islamic law and its implementation in the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) in Indonesia. Through juridical-normative analysis, the research investigates how Islamic law principles regarding hibah have been transformed into national legislation through KHI and evaluates their implementation in religious court practices. The findings reveal that KHI has successfully harmonized Islamic jurisprudence with national legal requirements, particularly through articles 210-214, which regulate hibah procedures including limitations on gift amounts, beneficiary rights, and documentation requirements. However, challenges persist due to KHI's relatively weak position in the legal hierarchy as a Presidential Instruction rather than formal legislation, creating potential conflicts with other regulations. The study recommends strengthening KHI's legal status, updating its provisions to address contemporary issues, standardizing hibah procedures, and providing judges with appropriate discretionary space to ensure both legal certainty and substantive justice in hibah disputes.
