This paper discusses the study of politics from an Islamic perspective, which not only examines power and governance but also serves as a foundation for the development of political ethics rooted in the spiritual and moral values of the Qur'an and Hadith. The approach used is a literature review, analyzing relevant texts on Islamic politics, political ethics, and leadership concepts in Islam. In Islam, politics is regarded as a form of worship that must be carried out based on the principles of tawhid (monotheism), justice, shura (consultation), and social responsibility. Concepts such as khalifah (caliphate), shura, and maslahah (public interest) serve as key pillars in the ethical governance system aimed at the welfare of the ummah (community). Furthermore, this paper highlights the importance of political morality (akhlaq siyasah) as a moral foundation for leaders and political actors, while also exploring the distinction between ethics (akhlaq) and morality in the Islamic context. The findings indicate that integrating political studies with Islamic values can create a model of governance that is not only structurally strong but also morally and spiritually elevated. Thus, Islam offers a holistic normative framework for building a just and civilized political system.

Social media has become one of the main media for distributing various advertising content in today's digital era. However, the spread of advertising content on social media also brings new challenges. Social media, especially TikTok, has a high virality rate, which means that content can spread quickly, both positively and negatively. The TikTok account @ngobrolsantaiindonesia uploaded a promotional advertisement for Borobudur Temple. The entire narrative in the advertising content openly alludes to other religions, namely Islam. This study uses a research approach in the form of a literature study or can be called library research. Indonesia has guidelines that must be respected, namely the Indonesian Advertising Ethics or abbreviated as EPI. The EPI contains a system of values ​​and integrated guidelines for manners (code of conducts) and procedures (code of practices) that apply to all advertising actors in Indonesia. According to the Indonesian Advertising Ethics, advertisements must be honest, correct, and responsible. It was concluded that the violation committed by the TikTok account @ngobrolsantaiindonesia was offending SARA, more specifically other religions.

Advertising not only serves as a promotional tool, but also reflects corporate social responsibility. This research aims to analyze the relationship between marketing strategy and the application of ethics in advertising, using a descriptive qualitative approach. Tokopedia's “Selalu Ada Selalu Bisa” campaign was used as the main case study to examine ethical communication practices in advertising. The results show that advertisements that emphasize honesty, transparency, and social empathy are able to build consumer trust, strengthen brand image, and increase loyalty. Conversely, misleading advertisements or exploitation of vulnerable groups can damage reputation and public trust. In the fast-paced digital era, a mix of formal regulation and self-regulation is important to maintain the ethics of marketing communications. This study concludes that ethics is not an obstacle to creativity, but rather a strategic foundation that strengthens business sustainability and long-term relationships with society.

Digital advertising has changed a lot, especially with the emergence of AI. AI allows companies to create more personalized and relevant ads, which improves the performance of their marketing campaigns. Significant ethical challenges must be addressed behind this innovation. One of the main issues is how AI can be used to generate unethical or even illegal content. This study uses a qualitative approach using a case study method on the CrushOn AI application that advertises on media platforms such as Meta. The results of the study showed that there were violations in the application because there were elements of pornography and porn action, considering that currently users of applications such as Instagram and Facebook are young teenagers, this is considered negative because it has violated the EPI book. There is a need for a clear ethical and regulatory framework for the use of AI technology in advertising. Collaboration with stakeholders, including advertisers and social media platforms, is essential to support ethical advertising practices.

This research analyzes the ethics of broadcasting advertisements on television media, especially related to  broadcasting time regulations. The significant role of television in shaping people's thoughts and  behaviors, coupled with the proliferation of potentially unethical and inappropriate broadcasts, highlights  the urgency of this issue. Such violations, especially those concerning children and adolescents, pose  significant risks due to exposure to inappropriate content and the normalization of unethical behavior. This  study emphasizes the importance of media commitment to the Broadcasting Behavior Guidelines and  Broadcast Program Standards (P3SPS) and Law No. 32 of 2002, which aims to protect viewers from  harmful information. This study uses a library observation method with a qualitative approach, analyzing  existing reports, research, and written sources. Data analysis uses Miles and Huberman's qualitative  decomposition technique, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The  findings of the study are in line with previous studies, indicating that violations of broadcasting ethics and  broadcasting hours are systemic problems that have not been resolved. This underlines the need for stricter  supervision, sanctions, re-evaluation of broadcasting time classifications, and media literacy education for  the community.

In recent years, education has placed greater emphasis on academic achievement, often overlooking the importance of character and ethical development in students. However, instilling the value of adab (proper manners) before knowledge is essential as a foundational aspect of the learning process. Adab encompasses attitudes such as respect for teachers, honesty, responsibility, and politeness, which contribute to forming ethical individuals. This study aims to explore the significance of adab values in education as an effort to cultivate students' character and ethics from an early age. The research uses a literature review method by analyzing various sources from Islamic education and character education theories. The findings reveal that the integration of adab values can be achieved through teacher role modeling, fostering positive habits within the school environment, and embedding these values into learning materials. When consistently applied, these approaches create a conducive learning atmosphere and develop students who are not only intellectually capable but also morally upright. The study implies that a balanced approach to education, which emphasizes both knowledge and adab, should be instilled early in both school and family settings

This study discusses ethics in political communication in Indonesia with a focus on regulations, digital media, and the rise of hoaxes during the election. The study is directed at elements of political communication such as communicators, messages, media, communicants, effects, and information interference. The study also reviews communication models (actions, interactions, transactions) and regulations such as the KIP Law, the ITE Law, and Presidential Regulation No. 82 of 2024. The main objective is to understand the application of ethics and the effectiveness of regulations in countering political hoaxes. The method used is descriptive qualitative through literature studies, legal documentation, and media analysis. The results show that political communication ethics are still weak due to the lack of regulatory enforcement and low digital literacy in society.

The rapid development of technology and social media has given rise to new trends in marketing strategies, one of which is the use of Influencers as promotional media. Influencers are often utilized as intermediaries between brands and consumers due to their perceived ability to shape public opinion and influence purchasing decisions. However, various ethical issues have emerged in advertising practices involving Influencers, particularly concerning transparency, honesty, and social responsibility. Many Influencers promote products without disclosing that the content is paid advertising. Such practices can mislead consumers and damage the reputations of both the Influencer and the associated brand. Another critical issue is the promotion of products that do not align with the Influencer’s personal values, as well as the lack of protection for vulnerable groups, such as children. Therefore, the implementation of strict and comprehensive advertising ethics is essential. This study highlights the importance of digital ethics education for Influencers, the enforcement of clear regulations, and the active role of social media platforms in labeling sponsored content, in order to establish a healthy and responsible digital advertising ecosystem.

These findings hold significant implications for policymakers, communication industry practitioners, and scholars in shaping ethical and sustainable digital advertising practices.

This study aims to analyze the suspected violation of advertising ethics by Almaz Fried Chicken through the claim “Saudi Chicken No.1 in Indonesia” on the Instagram platform. The claim was repeatedly published without valid supporting evidence, such as surveys, awards, or credible data sources. This research adopts a qualitative approach using a case study method and content analysis technique on the visual and textual content of Almaz Fried Chicken’s official Instagram posts. The results show that the superlative claim does not comply with the Indonesian Advertising Ethics Code, which requires substantiation for superiority claims. Advertising visuals—such as color schemes, typography, and cultural symbols—were used to reinforce the impression of authenticity and superiority, but lacked verifiable basis. The study concludes that the claim used by Almaz Fried Chicken violates the principles of honesty, truthfulness, and responsibility in marketing communication, and potentially misleads consumers while creating unfair competition in the digital marketplace.

The Islamic ethics of war are an important part of Sharia teachings, emphasizing that moral and humanitarian principles must be upheld during times of conflict. Islam does not view war as an ultimate goal, but rather as a last resort for defending justice, fighting oppression, and protecting people from real threats. In this context, the Quran and the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) provide clear guidelines for Muslims to follow when engaging in war. These include prohibitions against killing non-combatants, such as women, children, and the elderly. They also prohibit dangerous public institutions, worship, and neighborhoods. Muslims are also obligated to treat prisoners of war humanely. The Qur'an and Hadith clearly regulate the treatment of prisoners of war, emphasizing the principles of justice, respect for humanity, and the rights of individuals in the midst of warfare. Understanding and applying Islamic war ethics invites Muslims to avoid an aggressive attitude and to use war as a means of defending noble values while maintaining human dignity. This research uses the thematic method to analyze hadiths about war. The results of this research are broadly covered in three areas: the definition of war, the prohibition of cruel actions in war, and war strategies. The results of the research are expected to provide insight as well as a foundation for further discussion.

Indonesia faces significant challenges in maintaining environmental ethics amid rapid economic growth and urbanization. Environmental degradation, such as deforestation, water pollution, and poor waste management, reflects a widespread lack of ecological awareness. However, local wisdom offers an alternative approach to environmental sustainability. This study aims to describe the forms of environmental ethics embedded in the local wisdom of the Betawi community in the Betawi Cultural Village of Setu Babakan, South Jakarta. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the research explores cultural practices that support environmental preservation, including the use of home gardens, reverence for nature, and community-based waste management. The findings show that the Setu Babakan community applies ecological principles through traditions, customs, and active participation in environmental care. Moreover, synergy between the government, local communities, and the tourism sector contributes to developing an area that not only preserves Betawi culture but also maintains ecological balance. These findings highlight the importance of integrating local cultural values into environmental policy as a pathway toward sustainable development.

Both the process of democratization and the societal change that has taken place in Indonesia have been significantly influenced by globalization. The purpose of this study is to conduct a literature review that focuses on the relationship between globalization, social transformation, and the growth of democracy in Indonesia. With the help of a qualitative methodology that is founded on literature studies, this research investigates the ways in which the flow of information, technology, and global values influences the mentalities of individuals, as well as the social structures and political dynamics in Indonesia. The findings of the study indicate that globalization fosters the development of a society that is more receptive to democratic principles, such as the protection of human rights, the freedom of expression, and the provision of opportunities for political engagement. There are, however, challenges that come along with globalization. These challenges include socio-economic inequality, the erosion of local values, and threats to ethnic and cultural sovereignty. With globalization serving as a catalyst in improving political freedom and expanding civil society involvement, the process of democratization in Indonesia developed fast after the reforms that took place in 1998. The findings of this study highlight the significance of policies that are capable of striking a balance between the impact of globalization and the maintenance of local identity. This is necessary in order to bring about social change that is inclusive and to enhance democracy in Indonesia in a way that is sustainable.

This study aims to examine how the implementation of business ethics can enhance the effectiveness of CSR within corporate environments. The research employs a literature review method, analyzing various academic publications, regulatory frameworks, and corporate reports relevant to business ethics and CSR.

However, challenges such as algorithm manipulation, digital communication ethics, and data privacy issues are obstacles that require an approach based on transparency and social responsibility. This article concludes that the success of the #FYPMarketing strategy depends not only on technological and algorithmic capabilities, but also on trust, clarity of values, and alignment between the brand and its digital community.
