This research examines the practice of plastic surgery from the perspective of Islamic law, which is increasingly relevant in the modern era with increasing aesthetic demands. Plastic surgery is divided into two types: reconstructive, which is permitted for medical purposes, and aesthetic, which is generally prohibited if not supported by clear medical reasons.

The research results show the importance of religious education that emphasizes self-acceptance and building a community that supports diversity in appearance. Suggestions for ethical medical practice in plastic surgery are also proposed, so that the procedure is in line with Islamic principles. In this way, it is hoped that Muslims can navigate modern demands without sacrificing religious values.

In contemporary Indonesia, Neo-Sufism has emerged as a significant paradigm for Islamic social da'wah, particularly in response to growing spiritual disorientation, religious radicalism, and socio-cultural fragmentation in urban contexts. This research explores how institutionalized Sufi orders, especially those rooted in traditional tarekat such as TQN is redefining their spiritual missions through transformative, socially-engaged practices. Using a qualitative library-based methodology, the study analyzes primary and secondary texts to trace how core Sufi values—such as ikhlas (sincerity), sabr (patience), and zuhd (asceticism)—are applied within modern da'wah strategies. Rather than functioning as apolitical or inward-facing traditions, these Sufi orders have implemented socially responsive initiatives including pesantren-based empowerment, Sufi clinics, and ethical microeconomics. The findings challenge stereotypes of Sufism as detached from social realities and instead position Neo-Sufism as a framework for moral reform and community development. This rearticulation of Sufism not only addresses urban spiritual crises but also contributes a sustainable and values-based model of religious engagement. To ensure continued relevance, the study recommends strengthening urban Sufi literacy and institutional collaboration among tarekat networks.

Law No. 20 of 2001 has institutionalized the provision of the death penalty for corruptors under certain circumstances. This research analyzes juridically the application of the death penalty against perpetrators of corruption from a normative, positive law, ethical, and religious perspective. The method used is a normative juridical approach with secondary data. Data analysis is carried out systematically to identify themes and formulate operational hypotheses. The results showed that the death penalty in the corruption law has been regulated for certain circumstances. Still, its implementation faces constitutional challenges from three critical perspectives: the Pancasila legal state framework, the 1945 Constitution's provisions on the right to life, and human rights principles. International frameworks such as the ICCPR, various legal interpretations, and religious approaches enrich this debate. In conclusion, applying the death penalty for corruption offenders in Indonesia cannot be implemented due to constitutional dilemmas arising from these various perspectives, thus requiring reformulation and in-depth study of legal norms and human values

With the rapid increase in global population and the ongoing depletion of agricultural land, food security faces an escalating threat. CRISPR genetic engineering technology offers immense potential to enhance crop resilience and productivity. However, its application raises significant ethical concerns, both from a bioethical perspective and within the framework of Islamic values.

Through a comprehensive literature review, it underscores the necessity of a collaborative approach involving scientists, policymakers, and religious leaders to establish ethical guidelines for its responsible use. The findings highlight the critical need to strike a balance between technological innovation and the preservation of moral principles. By adhering to ethical standards rooted in both modern bioethics and Islamic teachings, genetic technologies such as CRISPR can be harnessed to address food security challenges by improving crop productivity and fortifying resistance to diseases and extreme environmental stressors, without compromising moral integrity.

This study aims to explore Islamic legal views on euthanasia, particularly in the context of terminally ill patients. Using a literature study approach, this study analyzes Quranic verses, hadiths, and the views of scholars on euthanasia, which is generally rejected in Islamic law. As an alternative, palliative care is identified as a more appropriate ethical solution, focusing on alleviating pain and improving the patient's quality of life. This study also underlines the importance of dialogue between health professionals and scholars to develop care protocols that comply with sharia principles. These findings suggest the need for better education and training for health professionals on medical ethics in the context of Islamic law. In doing so, it is hoped that health practices can better respect religious values ​​and meet patient needs more effectively.

Love is the main principle in Christianity taught by Jesus and emphasized by the Apostle Paul as the fulfillment of the Law. In the context of Batak society, the Dalihan Na Tolu social system regulates social relations based on the principles of honor, solidarity, and responsibility. This research aims to analyze how the law of love in Paul's theology can be integrated with the principles of Dalihan Na Tolu to build contextual Christian ethics in Batak land without losing the essence of the gospel. This research uses a qualitative method with a theological and ethnographic study approach. Literature studies were conducted on biblical texts, Pauline theological sources, and references to Batak culture. Hermeneutic analysis was used to understand the concept of the law of love in Paul's theology, while a study of Dalihan Na Tolu was conducted to identify its relevance to Christian ethics. The results show that there are similar values between the law of love in Paul's theology and the principles of Dalihan Na Tolu, especially in terms of love, respect and solidarity. However, some aspects of Dalihan Na Tolu need to be criticized, especially in terms of social hierarchy that can lead to injustice. Therefore, cultural transformation is needed so that the principle of love taught in the Bible can become the basis of Christian ethics that are relevant to Batak society. This research contributes to the development of contextual theology and provides insight for the church and Batak community in applying the law of love in social and traditional life.
