The phenomenon of living Qur'an in the digital era, emphasizing the use of Al-Qur'an and prayer applications during the month of Ramadan during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic situation has forced Muslims to switch to digital media as an alternative to carrying out worship due to limited access to physical places of worship. Using a qualitative approach and ethnographic methods, this study explores how digital applications of the Qur'an and prayers become a new medium in realizing Qur'anic values ​​in everyday life, as well as how users interpret the sacred text through digital platforms. The results of the study show that digital applications not only support personal worship practices but also form online communities that strengthen spiritual bonds amid social restrictions. However, digitalization also raises challenges, such as shifts in religious authority, interpretation of texts, and issues of religious ethics. Therefore, this study emphasizes the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the transformation of religious practices in the digital era, as well as the need for a critical attitude in using technology so that Qur'anic values ​​are maintained and authentic. The COVID-19 outbreak has caused significant changes in various aspects of life, including the way Muslims carry out worship during the month of Ramadan. The implementation of health protocols and social restrictions limit congregational worship activities in mosques, encouraging Muslims to find other ways to maintain their worship routines and spiritual closeness. In this condition, mobile-based Quran and prayer applications are an effective and appropriate solution. These applications provide easy access to digital Qurans, interpretations, translations, readings from famous reciters, daily dhikr, special prayers, and additional features such as prayer reminders and Qibla direction indicators. More than just a means of worship, these applications also function as a medium for religious learning through short lectures, studies, and Islamic articles. However, users need to be aware of interference such as notifications from other applications and dependence on internet connections. It is important to remember that the role of these applications is as a complement, not a substitute for direct interaction with the mushaf or attendance at the assembly of knowledge if conditions permit. If used wisely and consciously, Quran and prayer applications can be a very meaningful spiritual support for Muslims during Ramadan in the midst of a pandemic situation.

The creation of an Islamic Religious Education (PAI) curriculum grounded in the Qur'an, Sunnah, and culture is covered in this study. This curriculum emphasizes the spread of religious knowledge while also incorporating relevant cultural values ​​to provide pupils a more meaningful and contextual education. The goal of this curriculum is to develop pupils who are honorable, tolerant, and capable of adjusting to the problems of the world without abandoning or forgetting their cultural and religious values. To address these issues, a qualitative method known as the literature review method or literature study was used in this study. Books, journal articles, and other materials relating to Islamic education, cultural values, and curriculum development methodologies are among the scientific research and literature that serve as its reference sources. According to this study, students' understanding of Islamic teachings that are applicable to their daily lives may be strengthened by incorporating cultural values ​​into the curriculum. Teachers have a critical role in creating education that integrates religious and cultural values ​​in order to produce a generation that is morally upright, open-minded, and prepared to deal with the changing dynamics of society.

Religious character is one aspect of character values related to an individual's relationship with God. Religious character is considered a key point that needs to be instilled and developed from an early age in children. This serves as the foundation of religious teachings in the lives of individuals and society as a whole. The aim of this research is to understand the formation of religious character among Islamic boarding school students through the programs of reading the Quran and performing the Dhuha prayer at PPTQ Al-Mustaqimiyyah. The research method used is qualitative, employing data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. Data sources were obtained through interviews with administrators, teachers, and students. The results indicate that the Quran reading and Dhuha prayer program has a positive impact on shaping the religious character of the students. This is reflected in the improvement of Quran reading skills, awareness in worship, discipline, responsibility, honesty, and the cultivation of good morals, attitudes, and behavior. With these activities, it is expected that students will be motivated and enthusiastic to enhance their memorization of the Quran, not only by reading and memorizing but also by understanding the meaning of the sacred verses and applying them in community life. The improvement in worship is expected to help them distinguish between noble moral values and reprehensible behavior, forming good habits that are difficult to replace in the future.

Learning strategies are crucial because this is the first step given by the teacher. The step that needs to be considered is determining the learning strategy that will accommodate the development of students. The main teacher can choose the best teaching methods and strategies to create excellent learning, adjust the material to the students' abilities, and enable students to receive knowledge transfer. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach to explore project-based religious learning strategies applied in the Islamic Religious Education subject at SMP Muhammadiyah 05 Medan Denai. This approach was chosen to deeply explore the practices, experiences, and impact of learning on the religious awareness of the students. Interviews with students show that involvement in the project has made them better understand religious values in real life. Some students admitted to starting to pray on time, being more diligent in reading the Quran, and being more concerned about the social environment. This shows that the religious project encourages the internalization of values through direct experience, not just memorization or theory. This learning not only strengthens the understanding of Islamic material but also instills religious values through real practices that can be directly experienced by the students. Some forms of projects, such as mini-dawah, infaq movements, and adab campaigns, have proven to enrich students' experiences and enhance their awareness of Islamic values in daily life. Islamic education teachers play an important role as facilitators, not only guiding students in project activities but also providing space for reflection and evaluation. Students feel more motivated and actively engaged in the learning process, which leads to changes in their religious behavior, such as increased discipline in worship and a greater sense of care for their surroundings.    

The activity of mentoring mosque youth in the routine of tadarus every Friday night at the Al Amanah Mosque, Ngingas, Waru, Sidoarjo aims to increase interest in studying the Koran in the community, especially among teenagers.

This activity not only makes the mosque a place of worship, but also a center for inclusive and sustainable religious learning. Active participation of teenagers in tadarus activities is also a means of developing leadership and forming Islamic character. This activity is expected to be a model of religious-based community empowerment that can be replicated in other environments with ongoing support from various parties.

Television plays a crucial role in shaping society's understanding of Islam through various religious programs broadcasted. As a mass media platform with wide reach, television can deliver Islamic teachings in an engaging and easily comprehensible manner for people from different backgrounds. This study aims to analyze how television contributes to enhancing Islamic understanding, the types of programs that have an impact, and the extent of its effectiveness compared to other learning sources. The research employs a qualitative analysis method with a case study approach on several television stations that regularly air Islamic programs. The findings indicate that well-packaged Islamic programs, such as interactive sermons, Quranic interpretation studies, and religious discussions, effectively improve public understanding of Islam. However, challenges remain in delivering information, including interpretative bias and limited direct interaction with the audience. Therefore, more innovative and collaborative strategies are needed to enhance television’s effectiveness in fostering Islamic understanding within society.

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).
