This article discusses the urgency of critical thinking skills in utilizing social media as a means of digital catechesis. Amidst the rapid and diverse flow of information in the digital era, critical thinking becomes an essential skill to avoid the spread of inaccurate or misleading information, especially in the context of conveying the teachings of faith. Social media does offer great potential as a medium for evangelization and catechesis, but the main challenge is the validity of the content which is often not verified. Therefore, digital catechesis teachers and participants are required to be able to analyze, evaluate, and filter information selectively and objectively. This article also outlines strategies for developing critical thinking skills, such as media literacy training, guided discussions, and the use of interactive content. By strengthening critical thinking skills, digital catechesis is expected to become an educational and transformative means in conveying faith values ​​relevantly and responsibly in the digital space.

The global halal industry is experiencing exponential growth with a market value of trillions of dollars, creating significant economic opportunities for Southeast Asian countries with large Muslim populations. The micro-livestock sector has unique characteristics that require a specialized approach in the implementation of an integrated halal assurance system, given limited resources, technical capacity and access to technology. The complexity of implementation presents multidimensional challenges covering technical, economic, social and regulatory aspects that require comprehensive analysis to understand the socio-economic impact on the sustainability of micro farms1. This study aims to analyze the socio-economic impact of implementing an integrated halal assurance system on the sustainability of micro livestock enterprises in Southeast Asia through an integrated legal and business perspective. Systematic literature review using PRISMA guidelines with searches through Google Scholar and Scopus for the period 2020-2025. Inclusion criteria included studies of halal assurance system implementation on Southeast Asian micro farms, socio-economic impact analysis, and integration of legal-business perspectives. Quality assessment using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) with systematic data extraction using Microsoft Excel 2021. Of the 321 articles identified, 7 high-quality studies were included with a selectivity rate of 2.2%. The findings show variations in implementation approaches between countries: Indonesia with Law No. 33/2014 and SEHATI program, Malaysia through JAKIM with MS 1500:2019 standard, Singapore via MUIS with strict supervision. Positive social impacts include increased social acceptance, empowerment of women and minority groups, and establishment of collaborative networks such as halal cooperatives. Significant economic impacts include increased consumer confidence, wider market access, and product competitiveness with premium prices of up to IDR 37,500/kg for certified products. Integration of legal-business perspectives creates synergy through ASEAN regulatory harmonization, blockchain technology, and multi-stakeholder collaboration. The implementation of an integrated halal assurance system has a transformative impact on the sustainability of Southeast Asian micro livestock businesses, strengthening the regional halal economy and contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals.

Artikel ini mengeksplorasi hubungan antara kecerdasan buatan (AI) dan konsep teologis penciptaan manusia 'Imago Dei' sebagaimana digambarkan dalam Kitab Kejadian 1 (satu). Penciptaan manusia menjadi mahkota kisah penciptaan, manusia diciptakan dengan martabat tertinggi sedangkan AI hadir seolah melebihi manusia. Dengan mempertimbangkan bahwa AI hanya alat yang mewakili bentuk kreativitas manusia yang baru dan maju. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi dan menjembatani gap pengetahuan antara pengembangan AI dan pemahaman teologis tradisional tentang peran manusia sebagai co-creator. Artikel ini memberikan wawasan sejauh mana AI dapat dipandang sebagai ekstensi atau penyimpangan dari mandat kreatif manusia dan menilai implikasi etis yang terkait. Melalui analisis literatur interdisipliner, studi ini membahas pertanyaan tentang identitas manusia dalam era teknologi dan bagaimana inovasi AI dapat diintegrasikan ke dalam kerangka kerja kepercayaan agama. Penelitian ini tidak hanya mengungkapkan tantangan teologis yang disajikan oleh AI tetapi juga menawarkan perspektif baru pada tanggung jawab dan batasan manusia dalam penciptaan teknologi.

State Senior High School 7 Surakarta is one of the public schools located in Surakarta City. The library activities, including member data management, book processing, and book borrowing and returning, are still conducted manually using physical logbooks. This manual process is considered inefficient and prone to errors. The purpose of this study is to develop a book borrowing system at State Senior High School 7 Surakarta that serves as a tool to assist officers in recording, loans, and returning books. This system is designed using the CodeIgniter framework to support WEB displays, programming in PHP, and using MySQL for database management. This system is created using the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) method with a waterfall model that includes the stages of analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. System testing was conducted using Black-Box Testing and the System Usability Scale (SUS). The Black-Box Testing results showed that all features and functions operated correctly. The SUS evaluation produced a score of 75.68%, indicating that users generally agreed with the implementation of the system, which falls under the "acceptable" classification.

This community engagement initiative aimed to enhance students’ awareness of the strategic role of madrasahs in developing spiritually grounded, intellectually capable, and socially responsible individuals. Conducted at MA Darut Taqwa Semarang on July 17, 2024, the program employed a motivational and participatory approach, integrating lectures, reflective discussions, and storytelling centered on Islamic values and success narratives of madrasah alumni. Participants included 86 Grade X students. Post-session evaluations revealed significant positive shifts in student perceptions. Among Grade X students, 82% expressed increased pride in their madrasah identity, and 76% developed greater optimism about their future success through madrasah education. Motivational gains were also observed as students redefined academic effort as part of spiritual devotion. These results suggest that when learning is contextualized within a value-based framework, it fosters intrinsic motivation and future-oriented thinking. Theoretically, the program supports expectancy-value and purpose-based education models by demonstrating how spiritual framing can shape motivation and aspiration. Practically, it offers a replicable model for enhancing student engagement in faith-based schools. On a broader level, the program contributes to the reframing of madrasahs as centers of leadership development and ethical formation in a morally uncertain world. This activity affirms that madrasahs, when supported by strategic communication and reflective pedagogy, can serve as transformative educational spaces for youth, particularly those from underserved backgrounds
