This article discusses the concept of Christian leadership management centered on Christ as the foundation for forming spiritual leaders who are characterized by integrity and service. In today’s modern context, which is often driven by power orientation and human-centered success, Christian leadership offers an alternative paradigm rooted in love, humility, and servanthood. Through a literature review of various thinkers such as Daniel Ronda, Yohanes Nuban Timo, Hendrik Senduk, and John C. Maxwell, this paper emphasizes that the essence of Christian leadership is not position but a calling to serve and to make disciples of Christ. Christian leadership management encompasses theological, spiritual, and practical dimensions, ranging from personal transformation, spiritual discipline, and the formation of Christlike character, to ministry management based on servant leadership principles. This article also integrates relevant secular leadership theories such as servant leadership, transformational leadership, and situational leadership with biblical values. In conclusion, effective Christian leadership can only be realized when leaders follow the example of Christ, depend on God’s wisdom, and produce new leaders who are able to bring spiritual and social impact to the world.

This study aims to examine how the concept of deliberative democracy is perceived and constructed within the intellectual discourse of Indonesian Muslim scholars. Employing a qualitative approach through literature analysis, data were gathered from academic works, including books, journal articles, and relevant conference proceedings. The analysis was conducted thematically to identify key patterns, categories, and overarching themes. The findings reveal three main points. First, the literature highlights the compatibility between Islam and deliberative democracy through the reinterpretation of shūrā, which is framed as a normative foundation aligned with modern practices of consultation. Second, the study identifies structural and cultural barriers—such as political polarization, elite dominance, and limited public space—that hinder substantive deliberation. Third, it highlights the potential for strengthening deliberative democracy through the integration of Islamic values, particularly by emphasizing maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, the ethics of justice, and the recognition of pluralism. In addition, the research introduces new categories, namely ethical deliberation and the rise of digital deliberation, both of which enrich the Indonesian model of deliberative democracy. Ultimately, the study concludes that deliberative democracy grounded in Islamic ethics is not merely a localized adaptation of Western theory but also makes a significant theoretical contribution to the broader development of deliberative democracy in the global context.

This study focuses on analyzing the efficiency of water usage during ablution in mosques, aiming to identify the factors causing inefficiency and propose solutions aligned with sustainability and Islamic values. Ablution is essential for Muslim prayer, yet modern mosques often neglect water efficiency, leading to waste and high operational costs. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining observations, water discharge measurements, and surveys from 35 congregants at an urban mosque. The results showed an average ablution water consumption of 2.47 liters per person, with significant variation, primarily due to faucet usage behaviors. The survey also revealed that 45.71% of participants viewed water use as inefficient, with mixed responses regarding the implementation of automatic faucets. These findings underscore that water conservation cannot be achieved solely through technical solutions like sensor faucets or water recycling systems. Instead, it requires integrating Islamic values and education to encourage behavioral change among mosque-goers. By promoting awareness and responsible water use, mosques can become role models in environmental conservation. This study highlights the importance of combining technical engineering solutions with spiritual values, contributing to a more sustainable and efficient use of resources in mosque facilities while adhering to Islamic principles.
