The relationship between Islam and democracy has been a complex and often debated topic, particularly in Muslim-majority countries. This research aims to explore the compatibility between Islamic principles and democratic values using Indonesia as a case study. As one of the largest Muslim countries in the world, Indonesia offers a unique context in integrating religious teachings with the modern democratic system. Through qualitative methods that included a Google Form-based survey and a literature review of academic articles and journals, this research found that the majority of respondents (70%) believe that democratic values are in line with Islamic teachings, such as justice, deliberation and equality. However, the research also identified a number of challenges that Indonesia faces in harmonizing the two concepts. The main challenges include differences in the interpretation of Islamic law, difficulties in balancing sharia law with secular law, and the issue of political pluralism. In addition, factors such as intolerance, radicalism and identity politics often become obstacles in creating harmony between religious and democratic values. Despite these obstacles, Indonesia has made significant progress through moderation, strengthening civil society, and successfully managing religious and cultural diversity. Local traditions such as deliberation, gotong royong and pluralism provide a strong foundation for building an inclusive democratic system. This approach is not only relevant for the Indonesian context, but can also serve as a model for other Muslim-majority countries seeking to integrate religion and democracy. This research offers a new contribution to the understanding of the dynamics of the relationship between Islam and democracy, and highlights the importance of civil society strengthening, pluralism education, and the adaptation of religious values in the context of modern democracy. With the results obtained, this research is expected to be a reference for other Muslim countries in creating harmonious and sustainable political governance.

Therefore, learning motivation has become a very relevant topic of study for educators, psychologists, and education observers around the world. In this work, readers will be presented with a comprehensive understanding of the concept of learning motivation, the theories that underlie it, and the factors that influence motivation in the context of education. In learning activities, motivation can be said to be the overall driving force within a person that gives rise to learning activities, which guarantees the continuity of learning activities and provides direction to learning activities, so that the goals desired by the learning subject can be achieved.

This community service was conducted at MI Darul Hidayah involving 17 fifth grade students as subjects. Making ecoprints is a creative effort to introduce environmentally friendly concepts to students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) Darul Hidayah. Ecoprint is a fabric dyeing technique using natural materials such as leaves, flowers and twigs, which produces unique patterns without using dangerous chemicals. This community service aims to provide innovative environment-based learning to students through ecoprint making activities, while increasing their awareness of the importance of environmental conservation. The methods used in this activity include planning, implementation and evaluation stages. Students are taught to choose natural materials, arrange patterns on fabric, and apply ecoprint techniques using a heating or pounding process. As a result, students were able to create simple ecoprint products such as tote bags with creative designs. Apart from that, this activity succeeded in increasing students' understanding of the concept of recycling, the use of organic waste, and the importance of protecting the environment. The conclusion of this community service shows that ecoprint activities not only strengthen students' fine motor skills, but also foster the values of love for the environment, creativity, and cooperation. It is hoped that this activity can become a sustainable educational program at MI Darul Hidayah to support environment-based learning.

The Protestant Reformation, initiated by Martin Luther in the 16th century, was a pivotal event in Christian history that shook the structure of the Catholic Church and had a profound impact on many aspects of life. This movement arose from dissatisfaction with church practices believed to be in conflict with Biblical teachings, such as the sale of indulgences. Through his 95 Theses, Luther emphasized that salvation could only be achieved through faith (sola fide) and that the Bible was the sole source of authority (sola scriptura). These teachings led to a split between the Catholic Church and Protestantism, sparking a broader theological reformation across Europe. Beyond its theological influence, the Protestant Reformation also brought about significant social, political, and cultural changes. Luther's teachings on the importance of education and literacy encouraged the translation of the Bible into local languages, allowing the faithful to access the Scriptures directly. The Reformation also introduced the concept of religious freedom and reshaped the relationship between church and state, with several countries adopting Protestantism as their official religion. Overall, the Protestant Reformation not only transformed the church's structure but also had a major impact on the development of Western social and political systems, creating new concepts of individual freedom and religious authority.

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) plays a crucial role in shaping students' character and morals, especially amidst the increasingly complex flow of globalization. In the era of fast and diverse information, the method of delivering PAI material needs to be adjusted so that it remains relevant and effective for the younger generation. PAI is not just a theoretical teaching, but also a place to instill moral and ethical values ​​contained in Islamic teachings. One approach that is increasingly popular in education today is active learning. Active learning emphasizes direct student participation in the learning process. In this approach, students not only act as recipients of information, but also as explorers, discussants, and implementers of the material being studied. This involvement is important because it can help students understand religious concepts more deeply and critically, and connect them to their daily experiences and life contexts.    

The aim of this research is to explore the effectiveness of using Augmented Reality (AR) technology as an innovative medium in learning Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) to increase elementary school students' awareness and understanding of preserving natural resources. This research uses a quasi-experimental research method with a pretest-posttest control group design. The research subjects were fifth grade students at an elementary school in Indonesia, who were divided into an experimental group that used AR media and a control group that used conventional learning media. The research results show that the use of AR media significantly increases students' understanding of the concept of preserving natural resources compared to traditional learning methods. In addition, students in the experimental group showed higher levels of learning motivation as well as active participation in class discussions. The implication of this research is that AR technology can be an effective and interesting learning tool in teaching complex environmental topics. The use of AR not only helps students understand concepts visually and interactively, but also motivates them to be more actively involved in efforts to conserve natural resources. The results of this research provide a basis for the development of technology-based learning media that can be applied in various educational contexts, especially to support sustainable education at the elementary school level.
