This study examines the construction of da'wah methodology in the Qur’an based on Imam Ibn Kathir’s interpretation in Tafsir Al-Qur’an Al-‘Azhim. The research focuses on Qur’anic verses that explain the commands, principles, and methods of da'wah practiced by the prophets and messengers. Using a library research method, this study places Tafsir Ibn Kathir as the primary source, supported by relevant tafsir works and academic literature. The findings show that the Qur’anic da'wah methodology, according to Ibn Kathir, follows a universal and consistent pattern grounded in tawhid, wisdom, good advice, and courteous dialogue. The da'wah of the prophets shares a common objective, namely inviting people to worship Allah alone, obey His commands, and follow the messengers sent to them. The novelty of this study lies in its systematic formulation of Qur’anic da'wah methodology through Ibn Kathir’s classical interpretation, revealing the continuity of da'wah principles across prophetic generations. The study also emphasizes that effective da'wah depends on the suitability of methods to audience conditions and the moral example of the da’i. Therefore, this methodological construction is both normative and practical for contemporary da'wah challenges. It strengthens understanding of prophetic communication ethics in responding to diverse social and religious contexts today. This research contributes to the development of da'wah and tafsir studies and may serve as a conceptual reference for Qur’an-based da'wah practice.

Marriage in Islamic law constitutes a sacred covenant (mīthāqan ghalīẓan) that carries theological, social, and juridical dimensions. Within this framework, the guardian (walī nikāḥ) plays a pivotal role whose legal status has long been contested across Islamic jurisprudential schools. This study examines the authority of the marriage guardian from three analytical layers: its doctrinal construction across the four major madhabs, its codification in Indonesian positive law, and its practical implementation in religious court jurisprudence. Employing a normative legal research method, this study draws on conceptual, statutory, and case approaches, with primary legal materials comprising Qur’anic verses, prophetic traditions, Law No. 1 of 1974, the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), and Ministerial Regulation (PMA) No. 30 of 2024. The findings reveal fundamental differences among the madhabs: the Shāfi‘ī, Mālikī, and Ḥanbalī schools treat the guardian as an essential pillar (rukun) of the marriage contract, whereas the Ḥanafī school views guardianship as a complementary element based on the concept of legal capacity (ahliyyah). Indonesian positive law, through Article 19 of the KHI, adopts the Shāfi‘ī position by designating the guardian as an obligatory rukun. The study further finds that the mechanisms of walī ‘aḍal (recalcitrant guardian) and wakalah al-walī (delegation of guardianship) serve as legal instruments that reconcile formal-procedural requirements with practical social needs, thereby affirming that guardianship norms function both as a religious requirement and as a state-administered mechanism for protecting women’s rights in marriage.

Human resource management (HRM) plays a crucial role in improving the quality of da’wah programs in mosques. This study aims to analyze the implementation of HRM in managing da’wah programs at Masjid Raya Pematang Siantar, as well as to identify obstacles and solutions to improve the effectiveness of da’wah activities. The research used a qualitative approach with interview, observation, and documentation techniques. Informants consisted of mosque administrators, preachers (da’i), and active congregants. The results showed that HRM in the da’wah programs already has a fairly clear organizational structure, but several aspects still need improvement. The recruitment of preachers is still conducted informally without clear competency standards, and there are no specialized training programs for preachers. Congregational participation also remains fluctuating. Another weakness is the minimal use of technology in disseminating da’wah information, as promotion is still carried out conventionally without optimizing digital platforms. In addition, limited funding and the lack of professional management personnel are major challenges. Solutions that can be implemented include improving preacher recruitment and training systems, utilizing technology in da’wah dissemination, and optimizing financial management through effective fundraising strategies. With better HRM implementation, da’wah programs at Masjid Raya Pematang Siantar are expected to operate more professionally and provide broader positive impacts on society

This study aims to examine the role of youth organizations (Karang Taruna) in the development of the Grujakan Tluvalley tourist attraction in Barong Kulon Hamlet, Candi Village, Pacitan Regency, with a focus on their involvement in the management and development of community-based tourism (CBT). The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design, where data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observation, and documentation involving youth members, tourism managers, and the local community. The findings indicate that youth play an important role in operational management, digital promotion, and community-based tourism activities, supported by strong values of mutual cooperation and natural resource potential. However, several challenges remain, including limited funding, lack of training opportunities, and inadequate infrastructure. These findings highlight that youth act not only as implementers but also as key drivers and innovators, emphasizing the need for capacity building through continuous training and institutional support. Theoretically, this study enriches the discourse on youth participation in tourism, while practically providing recommendations for village governments and stakeholders.

This study aims to analyze the exemplary values of ta’dib and Sufistic practices of Kiai Hasan Sepuh in shaping the spirituality and noble character of santri at Pondok Pesantren Zainul Hasan Genggong. This research employed a qualitative approach with a figure study within a case study framework. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using descriptive-analytical techniques. The findings indicate that the values of ta’dib are reflected in discipline, respect for knowledge, and ethical interaction, while Sufistic values are manifested through sincerity (ikhlāṣ), patience (ṣabr), humility (tawāḍu‘), and simplicity. The internalization process of these values occurs through habituation, the role of the kiai’s successors, and spiritual practices rooted in pesantren traditions. Supporting factors include the religious culture of the pesantren and the emotional closeness between kiai and santri, whereas modernization and social media become inhibiting factors in the transmission of values. This study concludes that the integration of ta’dib and Sufistic values through the exemplary legacy of Kiai Hasan Sepuh contributes significantly to shaping santri spirituality and moral character, as well as offering a relevant model for Islamic character education in the contemporary era.

The issue of education financing in Indonesia, particularly in Islamic educational institutions, remains a challenge even though the national education budget has reached 20%. High operational costs, uneven budget distribution, and limited resources are obstacles to improving the quality of education and empowering the Islamic community. In this case, productive waqf presents itself as a sharia economic instrument that has the potential to support sustainable education financing and community development. This study aims to analyze the management strategy of productive waqf in empowering the Islamic community at the Lampung Al-Qur'an Center (LAC) and review it from the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh muamalah) and waqf management. The study used a field method with a descriptive qualitative approach through interviews, observation, and documentation. The theories used are George R. Terry's management theory and Jim Ife's community empowerment theory. The results show that the productive waqf management strategy at LAC is carried out through waqf fund collection, management of Al-Qur'an education, socio-religious development, and community empowerment programs based on Islamic education. This management contributes to improving the quality of education, strengthening Islamic values, and social and economic empowerment of the community. From a muamalah jurisprudence perspective, the practice of productive waqf in LAC has a strong sharia basis because it is oriented towards the welfare of the community and the sustainability of the waqf's benefits. Thus, productive waqf in LAC can be an alternative for financing Islamic education and sustainable community empowerment.

Studies on relative clause embedded transformation sentences have been conducted extensively, but are still limited and have not paid attention to religious texts such as the translated text of the Qur'an. This study aims to analyze (1) the form of embedded transformation sentences, (2) the process of embedded transformation sentences, and (3) the rules of embedded transformation sentences found in the translated text of Surah Al-Mulk. The data used in this study are verses from Surah Al-Mulk that have a relative clause embedded transformation sentence pattern. The data collection method in this study uses documentation techniques, listening techniques, and note-taking techniques. The data obtained were analyzed using intralingual and extralingual matching methods. The results of this study found that there are 3 forms of relative clause embedded transformation sentences, namely the Embedded-Dense (S-R) form which consists of 6 verses, the Closed-Embedded form which consists of 2 verses, and the Embedded-Dense-Embedded (S-R-S) form which consists of 2 verses. Based on the position of the embedding, at the beginning of the sentence there is a sentence pattern of Embedded-Dense (S-R) and at the end of the sentence there is a Close-Embedded (R-S). Based on the rules of sentence transformation, there is a pattern of Embedded-Dense-Embedded (S-R-S) in complex sentences and a pattern of Embedded-Dense (S-R) in simple sentences.

Islamic education management in the contemporary era is no longer adequate if understood solely as an administrative activity, but must be built on a solid philosophical, ethical, and spiritual foundation. This article aims to analyze the concept of Islamic education management from the perspective of Al-Ghazali and Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas and examine the relevance of its implementation for contemporary Islamic education management. This study uses a qualitative approach with a library research type. Data were obtained from the primary works of both figures and various relevant secondary sources, then analyzed through a comparative-conceptual approach with qualitative content analysis techniques and hermeneutic reading. The results show that Al-Ghazali emphasizes the ethical-spiritual dimension of education through the integration of knowledge, charity, morals, and purification of the soul, while al-Attas emphasizes the epistemological-philosophical dimension through the concepts of ta'dib, adab, and the Islamic worldview. Both have a common ground in the view that Islamic education must be directed at the formation of knowledgeable, civilized, and moral human beings, and should not be reduced to a technical process with neutral value. In terms of implementation, this study synthesizes the thoughts of both figures relevant to strengthening education, leadership, curriculum and learning management, institutional culture formation, and holistic educational evaluation. Therefore, Islamic educational management is ideally built on a foundation of ethical-spiritual and epistemological-philosophical integration to ensure effective, valuable, and transcendental-oriented educational governance.

The phenomenon of radical transparency in the Bottled Drinking Water (AMDK) industry in 2025 triggered a reputation crisis and a massive erosion of customer loyalty. This crisis began with negative sentiment on social media that led to surprise inspections by regulatory authorities of the industry leader's "Mountain Spring" claim. The unpreparedness of the communication infrastructure in presenting technical data in real time led to a decline in brand image and a significant correction in market share to a critical figure of 47.4%. This article aims to formulate a conceptual framework for adaptive and data-driven PR presentation techniques through the integration of real-time data visualization and narrative reframing strategies. The method used is a descriptive conceptual analysis by evaluating the chronology of incidents and PR responses during the crisis. The analysis results show that unidirectional communication patterns and static presentation materials are deemed to fail to face viral and spontaneous public audits in the digital space. As a theoretical and practical contribution, this article proposes a new model, The Spontaneous Technical Presentation Model, and recommendations for the development of a Crisis Presentation Kit for the FMCG industry. Through a theoretical approach that expands the theory of Image Restoration, this study confirms that corporate image restoration in the digital era is highly dependent on the precision and transparency of visual data presented during field qualification

This study is motivated by the escalation of mass protests in Pati Regency throughout 2025, triggered by significant increases in Land and Building Tax (PBB-P2) rates and prolonged agrarian disputes in the Kendeng Mountains region. These socio-political tensions indicate weaknesses in public communication governance between local government authorities and local communities. This conceptual article employs an integrative literature review combined with a descriptive-analytical approach to secondary data derived from media transcripts, fiscal policy documents, and legal studies on public order management. The findings reveal that the protests were fundamentally driven by a public communication crisis rather than merely fiscal or agrarian policy issues. The implementation of coercive one-way communication and confrontational rhetoric by government elites undermined relational trust and threatened the communal dignity of citizens. Furthermore, post-crisis apology strategies were perceived as insufficiently authentic when not accompanied by substantive corrective actions. The study concludes that the formal legal validity of local regulations does not guarantee successful implementation without obtaining a community's Social License to Operate (SLO). Therefore, this article proposes the Symmetrical Community Engagement (SCE) framework as a new paradigm for repositioning public sector public relations toward a proactive and participatory approach from the pre-legislative stage to support democratic governance

The dynamics of the global coffee industry during the 2024–2026 period were characterized by significant fluctuations that placed Starbucks in a vulnerable position due to multidimensional reputation crises, ranging from geopolitical sentiments to industrial relations tensions. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Public Relations (PR) management strategies and integrated media models in restoring brand equity post-crisis. The research method applied is descriptive qualitative with a conceptual analysis approach, relying on digital literature studies and the collection of secondary data from international reputation research firm reports and credible mass media documentation. The research results indicate that the drastic decline in the Brand Strength Index was successfully mitigated through a strategic narrative transition from service efficiency toward the reinforcement of the original "The Third Place" identity. The utilization of data-driven Owned Media channels through loyalty applications proved to be the most crucial instrument in maintaining consumer retention amidst the global boycott. The research conclusion emphasizes that brand resilience in the era of digital volatility depends not only on rhetoric but on the synchronization between adaptive leadership, operational transparency, and the integration of an agile PESO communication model. This study provides a theoretical contribution regarding the importance of managing "reputation capital" through consistent sustainability commitments to maintain a balance between profitability and corporate communication ethics in an increasingly polarized global market

This study implements the Damerau-Levenshtein algorithm for an Indonesian spelling checking and correction system based on the distance editing approach. The main objective of this study is to develop a system capable of automatically detecting and correcting spelling errors at the character level through a matching process against the KBBI dictionary and the Indonesian corpus. The methods used include data collection, text pre-processing, system design, and implementation of the Damerau-Levenshtein algorithm which includes insertion, deletion, substitution, and transposition operations. Testing was conducted using 25 test data consisting of standard words and modified words for typographical errors. The results show that the system is able to measure all test data with an accuracy level of 100% on a limited dataset. In addition, the average Damerau-Levenshtein Distance value of 0.84 indicates that most errors are in the light category. Evaluation using a confusion matrix produces precision, recall, and F1-score values ​​of 100% each. These results indicate that the Damerau-Levenshtein algorithm is effective in handling character-based spelling errors. However, the system still has limitations in handling complex semantic contexts and language variations. Therefore, further research is recommended to integrate language model-based approaches to improve the system's accuracy and generalization on real-world data.

This research aims to classify students’ lifestyles using the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm. The dataset consists of 392 high school students obtained from Kaggle, with key attributes including study hours, social media usage, Netflix viewing duration, attendance, sleep quality, internet quality, mental health, and extracurricular activities. KNN was chosen for its simplicity in distance-based classification, measured using Euclidean Distance. The data was divided into training and testing sets, then evaluated using accuracy and a confusion matrix. The results show that KNN effectively classifies students’ lifestyles into four categories: healthy, less active, at risk, and highly at risk. This classification is expected to assist educational institutions, parents, and students in understanding lifestyle patterns and their impact on academic performance and mental well-being. Furthermore, this study emphasizes the relevance of applying machine learning in education, aligned with Islamic values concerning health, discipline, and the optimal use of time.
