The doctrine of Sola Scriptura, which positions Scripture as the supreme authority in matters of faith and practice, has been a foundational pillar for Protestant Christianity. However, its application within the dynamic context of modern Christian Religious Education (CRE) faces significant challenges that necessitate a critical evaluation. This study employs a qualitative research method with a descriptive-analytical approach to comprehensively investigate the interplay between this theological principle and contemporary educational praxis. The research is conducted by systematically gathering and analyzing a wide range of textual sources, including seminal theological works on Sola Scriptura, current CRE curricula, relevant scholarly articles, and educational policy documents. The analysis describes the core tenets of the principle as historically understood, followed by an examination of its practical implementation in educational settings. The study identifies and elucidates key challenges, such as the rise of historical-critical biblical interpretation, increasing religious pluralism, the pervasive influence of secularism, and the pedagogical shift towards student-centered learning models that prioritize personal experience. The findings reveal a critical tension between the exclusive truth claims inherent in Sola Scriptura and the inclusive, relativistic environment of the modern world. The study concludes that for CRE to remain relevant and effective, it must develop thoughtful pedagogical strategies that faithfully uphold the authority of Scripture while simultaneously engaging with these contemporary challenges. This necessitates a move beyond a mere transmission of doctrine towards fostering a critical and reflective faith among learners, enabling them to navigate the complexities of the modern age.

Interdisciplinary studies linking the Quran and Hadith with modern science continues to attract significant attention among global academics. This phenomenon reflects a paradigm shift in Islamic studies, where integration with contemporary disciplines is seen as essential for a more comprehensive understanding. Prayer holds a central place in Islamic teachings, recognized as one of the five fundamental pillars of Islam. The concept of health in Islam is broad, encompassing physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects in an integrated manner. This holistic Islamic view of health demonstrates that the practice of worship, particularly prayer, has the potential to provide health benefits that extend beyond the physical dimension. Prayer contributes significantly to an individual's overall mental and spiritual well-being. The aim of this study was to understand the integration of prayer and health through an interdisciplinary study linking the Koran and Hadith. The study concluded that there is a significant and multifaceted relationship between the practice of prayer and various aspects of health, encompassing the physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions. This demonstrates that religious teachings do not focus solely on the spiritual aspect but also provide a comprehensive framework for maintaining overall health.

The development of technology and digital platforms such as Netflix has influenced the representation of career women in films, including how career women are depicted in the competitive world of work. This study examines the representation of career women in the film The Most Beautiful Girl In The World, especially through the character of Kiara, a smart, ambitious, and assertive television producer. The purpose of this study is to find out how career women are represented in the film, the values they uphold, and the messages they convey regarding women in the world of work. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis method to analyze the denotative, connotative, and mythical meanings in the film. The results of the study show that the character of Kiara represents a modern woman who is independent, professional, and able to compete on an equal footing with men without eliminating her emotional side. This film not only presents women as story sweeteners, but as central figures who bring change to the narrative flow. This representation provides inspiration and motivation for the audience, especially women, in facing stereotypes and challenges in the world of work. This film also conveys an important message about and empowering women in the professional realm.

This study comprehensively examines the concept of Sharia law by highlighting the main divisions within Islamic law: taklifi law and wadh'I law. Taklifi law encompasses five normative categories: obligation, recommendation, permissibility, makruh, and prohibition, which serve to regulate individual behavior in accordance with Sharia principles. Meanwhile, wadh'iy law emphasizes the causes, conditions, and requirements for the validity of a legal act, thus forming a normative framework that guarantees the validity of an action from an Islamic legal perspective. This study uses a normative approach through a literature review of primary sources of Islamic law, such as the Qur'an, Hadith, and classical and contemporary fiqh literature. The results of the study indicate that the division between taklifi and wadh'iy law is crucial for understanding the structure and complexity of Sharia law, both in terms of the vertical relationship between humans and God and the horizontal relationships between individuals. This study also examines the contemporary issue of plastic surgery from an Islamic legal perspective.  Plastic surgery is permissible for medical purposes, such as reconstruction following an accident, congenital defect, or impaired bodily function, as it aligns with the principles of preserving benefit and eliminating harm. However, plastic surgery solely for aesthetic purposes is considered forbidden, as it constitutes altering God's creation without a sharia (Islamic) justification. This finding confirms that the division of sharia law is not merely theoretical but also relevant in addressing modern issues, including in medical practice, and has important implications for the development of contemporary Islamic law and its application within the national legal context.

Lengthy, disorganized physical queues in conventional food ordering systems, particularly within canteens, significantly compromise customer convenience and operational efficiency. This direct-ordering model often results in crowd congestion, unpredictably long waiting times, and potential friction among patrons. To address these operational issues and substantially enhance user satisfaction, this research proposes the development and implementation of an innovative Web-Based Food Ordering System. This digital platform allows customers to place orders entirely online, effectively eliminating the need for physical queuing. The system's core functionality is the realtime monitoring of order status and queue position, providing transparent information directly to the customer's device. For canteen management, the application offers a crucial tool for integrated and structured order handling, ensuring staff can prepare meals more accurately and promptly. By transforming the ordering process into a streamlined digital workflow, the system is expected to accelerate the service cycle, minimize unnecessary crowding, and substantially improve customer satisfaction through a modernized, well-organized, and highly efficient experience. This initiative represents a significant step toward smarter and more responsive food service operations.

This artwork is a musical expression that evokes a childlike atmosphere, depicting the innocence, joy, and imagination of childhood that is often forgotten over time. The creation of this work begins with two popular Indonesian children’s songs, which serve as the main source of inspiration for the piece titled Childhood. These two songs were then developed and rearranged with a creative approach, resulting in a new form that retains the basic character of the children's songs but is packaged in a more modern and artistic musical atmosphere. This work uses two main musical patterns: the Waltz, which emphasizes softness, harmony, and romance, and the Swing, which brings energy, dynamics, and the cheerfulness typical of children's music. The fusion of these two patterns is done by considering elements such as tempo, harmony, rhythm, and dynamics to create a communicative and expressive work. Through Childhood, it is hoped that this piece will serve as a reflection of childhood memories, a nostalgic medium for the listeners, and an effort to preserve and revitalize Indonesian children's songs so that they remain relevant and loved across generations.

Family waqf is a classic instrument in Islamic economics that plays a crucial role in maintaining wealth sustainability and intergenerational well-being. However, its application in the context of modern law and economics still faces various challenges, such as overlap with Islamic inheritance law (farāʾiḍ), limited regulations, and weak governance. This article aims to systematically review the academic literature on the revival of the family waqf concept in the context of contemporary Islamic law, modern governance, and its potential contribution to wealth preservation. The approach used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) using the PRISMA method, covering studies from 2000–2025 from various sources indexed by Scopus, DOAJ, and Google Scholar. The results of the study indicate that regulatory modernization, integration with the Islamic financial system, and the implementation of technology-based governance are key factors in reviving the role of family waqf as an instrument of social justice and economic sustainability for the community.

Burns are one of the global health problems that still cause high morbidity and mortality rates, especially in countries with limited resources. Burn management is currently undergoing rapid development through a multidisciplinary approach that includes early resuscitation, local wound care, infection control, pain management, nutritional support, and long-term rehabilitation. This study uses the literature review method by examining articles from international databases for the period 2020–2025 to obtain the latest information on burn management updates. The results of the analysis showed that innovative therapies such as the use of stem cells, biomaterials (e.g. fish skin graft), as well as nanomedicine technology with silver nanoparticles have been proven to accelerate tissue healing and reduce complications. In addition, classic approaches such as early debridement, modern dressing selection, and enteral nutrition remain the primary basis in clinical treatment. Psychosocial and physical rehabilitation aspects are also increasingly considered because they have a significant effect on the quality of life of patients. Although various therapeutic innovations have shown promising results, translation to clinical practice still faces barriers in the form of cost, regulation, and limited facilities. Therefore, updates on burn management are needed to ensure more effective, efficient, and equitable management in modern medical practice.

This article discusses the phenomenon of early marriage in Indonesia from the perspective of the Code of Canon Law, particularly Canon 1072, which emphasizes the pastoral duty of guiding young people away from premature marriages. Using a qualitative-descriptive method with a literature review approach, the study examines canonical texts, Church documents, and empirical data related to the issue. The findings reveal that Catholic marriage demands free and mature consent, emotional stability, and openness to the gift of life. Early marriage often fails to fulfill these essential elements, leading to negative social, psychological, health, and economic consequences. Furthermore, it highlights the challenges faced by the Church in pastoral accompaniment amid cultural and socioeconomic pressures that encourage early unions. Therefore, Canon 1072 remains a relevant and preventive pastoral guideline, aiming to protect the dignity and freedom of young people, promote responsible preparation for marriage, and strengthen the foundation of Catholic family life in modern Indonesian society.
