Science is always associated with general science or science that studies worldly matters only. Some Muslims think that science has nothing to do with Islam or in other words Islam does not need science. If the assumption of the Islamic community about this still exists then Islam is in the danger zone, because actually Islam needs science. Islam and science are not two opposing camps, but two very solid camps. If we look deeper, the Qur'an presents many verses about science. The verses of the Qur'an about science range from 750 to 1000 verses. In fact, the first revelation that came down to the Prophet Muhammad SAW, namely the command to read. In the Qur'an it has been explained that paying attention to the universe which means also studying science is part of reading the verses of Allah SWT. Meanwhile, the results of research conducted by scientists about the universe do not contradict the Qur'an which was revealed 1400 years ago. If science and technology are only controlled by non-Muslims, then Muslims will be considered weaker and lower in the field of science. Therefore, Islam needs the next generation of people who love and understand the contents of the Qur'an and are not blind to science, especially science. Islam will flap its wings more in the field of science and technology so that a generation of IMTAQ and IPTEK is formed, namely a generation of Muslims who have faith and piety and master science and technology. Science is also important in the development of Islam because science brings knowledge that is very important in future generations and science also plays an important role for all people in this world. In the context of building the quality of the Islamic generation, there are several important aspects that need to be considered, namely;

The progress of a nation is supported by complete human resources with three important elements; healthy, intelligent and of good character. However, the dream of advancing the nation will only become a dream when phenomena that show bad character increasingly emerge in this country, and the most worrying thing is that students are involved in it. In this position, educational failure is an area that is often the subject of discussion, and especially religious education is increasingly becoming the main focus. In the midst of the hegemony of discussions about materials, models and environmental creation in contemporary conditions, this article aims to retrace the concept of PAI as a whole, including its meaning, objectives, foundations and functions, so that various PAI activities, especially in schools, do not deviate from its sermons. . Literature review was chosen as a method for examining the writings of figures, book and journal authors, as well as regulatory documents related to education and PAI. The results of the study show that there are three words that are often discussed by figures when exploring the concept of education in Islam, namely tarbiyah, ta'dib, and ta'lim. These three words are the basis for exploring the concept of PAI as a whole in Indonesia. PAI has colored the education process in Indonesia, with Islamic teachings as the content taught. By paying attention to its basis and function, PAI in schools must be taught by professional PAI teachers with the aim of educating, guiding and directing students to become Islamic individuals (insan kamil; faithful, obedient and moral) within the framework of students as individuals, family members, members of society, citizens and citizens of the world. This point also emphasizes that PAI's goal is not to make students become experts in Islamic religion. This article can provide insight, especially to teachers or PAI study program students, in understanding PAI as a whole, especially its relation to schooling.

Pluralism refers to the attitude that although every religion has a different style, method or path, it leads to the same goal, namely God, so one of the goals of Pluralism is to build tolerance. This research is intended to provide an understanding that in our existence as a pluralist society we must respect and respect each other in order to create religious harmony and moderation. Diversity is certainly beautiful, but it is not impossible that in diversity there will be conflicts based on differences, so the understanding of pluralism emerges to make the nation aware that even though we are different in ideology, belief and culture, we are still both human and equally one nation, so that among we create a feeling of mutual appreciation and mutual respect, not tearing each other down. The author uses a descriptive qualitative research method with a literature study approach to see how Christianity is amidst Plurality. The Bible teaches that Christians must abstain from fleshly desires, and as servants of God must have a way of life that is good and right before God. The Christian attitude towards pluralism should emulate Jesus' attitude towards pluralism, namely respecting every difference by building mission and dialogue according to the context faced. Christians must be inclusive and open to diversity but remain strong and firm in their own faith.

Abstract This study investigates Catholic school principals' decision-making processes and leadership styles in the United States. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research surveyed 150 principals and conducted in-depth interviews with twenty participants. Key findings reveal that 68% of principals favor a collaborative leadership style, though external factors like diocesan policies and financial constraints significantly impact their autonomy. More experienced principals (10+ years) showed a higher tendency for unilateral decisions in crises. The study recommends that Catholic school leadership training programs integrate organized frameworks that balance collaborative methods with proactive action. These findings can guide diocesan leadership development programs, ensuring principals have specialized training in participatory decision-making and hierarchical leadership frameworks. It also highlights the importance of supportive diocesan structures to facilitate effective decision-making. This research contributes to understanding educational leadership in faith-based institutions and offers practical insights for improving Catholic school administration. Keywords: Catholic schools, principals, leadership, Vroom-Jago model, decision-making model

Youth face complex psychosocial challenges amid rapid social, economic, and technological changes. One key strategy for addressing these challenges is strengthening resilience, particularly spiritual resilience. Spiritual resilience refers to an individual’s ability to endure and recover from life’s difficulties through the power of faith, life meaning, and spiritual values. This study aims to examine the concept of spiritual resilience in youth through a cognitive-behavioral psychology (CBT) approach using a literature review method. The analysis draws upon various scholarly sources that explore the relationship between CBT mechanisms and the development of spirituality. The findings indicate that integrating CBT with spiritual values, including within a Christian context, can enhance youth’s mental endurance, assist in restructuring negative cognitions, and support mental health and spiritual growth. This approach offers a holistic and contextual intervention framework to help youth more effectively cope with stress, anxiety, and identity crises.
