This article develops a conceptual model that explains how social capital and digital literacy interact in shaping Islamic financial literacy in the digital era. Through a comprehensive literature review, this study synthesizes theories, empirical findings, and thematic patterns derived from reputable academic journals, scholarly books, and institutional publications. The analysis shows that social capital functions as a value foundation encompassing trust, collective norms, and behavioral orientations that influence individuals’ initial acceptance of sharia-based financial practices. Information obtained through family, religious communities, and social networks becomes a crucial entry point that shapes early perceptions and preferences toward Islamic financial products. Meanwhile, digital literacy strengthens individuals’ ability to access, evaluate, and verify Islamic financial information independently through various digital content such as online articles, infographics, educational videos, and Islamic fintech platforms. The interaction between these two dimensions creates a layered learning process in which social capital provides contextual value and trust, while digital literacy deepens technical understanding in a more objective manner. This article contributes theoretically by proposing the Social Capital–Digital Literacy Integrative Model and offers practical implications for Islamic financial institutions, regulators, and fintech providers in designing more effective strategies to enhance Islamic financial literacy in society.

The rapid growth of e-commerce platforms in Indonesia, particularly Tokopedia, has resulted in a large volume of consumer reviews containing valuable information regarding customer perceptions and satisfaction. However, manual analysis of such reviews is inefficient and prone to subjectivity, necessitating an automated approach based on machine learning. This study aims to classify the sentiment of sports product reviews on Tokopedia into positive, negative, and neutral categories by applying Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Random Forest using the Term Frequency–Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) approach. The data were collected through web scraping of Indonesian-language sports product reviews and processed through several preprocessing stages, including data cleaning, case folding, tokenization, stopword removal, and stemming. Feature representation was performed using TF-IDF to transform textual data into numerical vectors, after which the dataset was divided into training and testing sets with an 80:20 ratio. Model performance was evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics. The results indicate that the application of TF-IDF significantly improves the performance of all models, with SVM consistently achieving the most optimal performance compared to Logistic Regression and Random Forest. These findings demonstrate that classical machine learning algorithms combined with TF-IDF remain highly effective for sentiment analysis of Indonesian-language text. The implications of this study are expected to assist sellers in understanding customer opinions, support consumers in making informed purchasing decisions, and serve as a foundation for the development of sentiment analysis and recommendation systems on e-commerce platforms.

Contemporary developments in science, technology, and socio-cultural dynamics have given rise to various new fiqh issues (masailul al-fiqhiyyah al-mu‘ashirah) that were not explicitly discussed in classical Islamic jurisprudence. These contemporary fiqh issues demand contextual ijtihad that is responsive to current realities while remaining grounded in Islamic legal principles. This study aims to analyze contemporary fiqh issues and examine their implications for the moral formation of students in Islamic education. This research employs a qualitative library research approach by analyzing classical fiqh literature, contemporary fiqh studies, and relevant educational theories. The findings indicate that contemporary fiqh issues such as digital ethics, biomedical technology, and socio-economic practices carry significant moral dimensions that directly influence students’ attitudes and behavior. Integrating contemporary fiqh discourse into Islamic education encourages critical thinking, moral reasoning, and ethical awareness among learners. Therefore, contemporary fiqh learning not only functions as a legal reference but also as a strategic instrument for strengthening students’ moral character in accordance with Islamic values. The study implies that Islamic education institutions should contextualize fiqh instruction to address contemporary moral challenges faced by students.

The transformation of the post-pandemic education system has crystallized online learning as a permanent component, with parents assuming an unprecedented instructional role at the elementary level, particularly at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI). This qualitative case study aims to analyze in depth the dynamics and implications of the role of these parents during the transition period. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with parents, students, and teachers from two MIs in Blora, enriched by observation and analysis of communication documents. The findings of the study reveal three crucial things: first, there is a transformation of the role of parents into "substitute teachers" which creates a significant psychological burden due to the gap between the demands of the role and pedagogical capacity. Second, the communication pattern between schools and parents is still one-way and administrative, and has not built a collaborative three-way partnership by involving students. Third, the quality of parental assistance is very diverse and highly dependent on their digital literacy capacity and educational background, which directly affects the development of students' self-regulated learning. This study concludes that the effectiveness of parental roles is determined by psycho-educational support, the quality of communication channels, and the level of personal capacity, so policy implications must move towards a differentiated and empowerment-oriented approach.
