This research aims to analyze the existence and strategic role of the Lembaga Inspirasi Al-Qur’an (LIA) in transforming media-based da'wah into a global tafsir literacy movement. Using a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and digital documentation, this study explores how LIA addresses the challenges of religious literacy among urban communities. The research findings indicate that LIA has successfully developed an integrated da'wah model that combines three main pillars: broadcasting media through the "One Day One Ayat" program on RRI, the production of tafsir literacy (Tafsir Inspirasi, Tafseer of Inspiration, and the Tafsir Muyassar Inspirasi project), and social movements based on waqf. The historical roots of LIA, which began with radio-based da'wah activities in 2006, evolved into a formal institution in 2012 with state recognition through the tashih certification from the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia. The strategy of cross-country intellectual collaboration and a waqf distribution system spanning 24 provinces and 10 countries are key to expanding the reach of this tafsir literacy. The results conclude that LIA's success lies in its moderate thematic tafsir methodology, linguistic innovation (bilingualism), and a systematic operational system in grounding the messages of the Al-Qur’an at the grassroots level dynamically.

This study examines the implementation of sakinah (tranquilty) family development at the religious affairs office (KUA) of Medan Denai subdistrict, North Sumatera Utara, Indonesia, trough the Qur'anic perspective of Surah Ar-Rum verse 21 as interpreted in Tafsir Al-Misbah by M. Quraish Shihab. The verse elucidates one of Allah's signs in creating spouses from among humankind to attain tranquility (sakinah), affection (mawaddah), and mercy (rahmah) within marital bonds. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with religious counselors and newlywed couples, and documentation analysis of premarital counseling programs at KUA Medan Denai. Findings reveal that the office has integrated the triadic values of sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah into its premarital guidance modules grounded in contextual Qur'anic interpretation. However, post-marital follow-up remains limited, affecting sustainability. Tafsir Al-Misbah provides a robust conceptual framework by interpreting sakinah as spiritual serenity rooted in faith, mawaddah as active emotional commitment, and rahmah as divine compassion manifested in daily family interactions. The study concludes that optimizing sakinah family development requires strengthening thematic Qur'anic-based counseling modules and establishing continuous post-nuptial mentoring to foster families that are spiritually grounded, emotionally resilient, and socially responsible. This research contributes to the discourse on integrating classical Qur'anic exegesis with contemporary family counseling practices in Indonesia's religious bureaucracy.

This research examines the Asbābun Nuzūl of verse 174 of Surah Al-Baqarah and its relationship with faith in Allah as the Creator of the heavens and the earth. This verse contains a strong warning against those who conceal Allah’s revelations and exchange divine truth for worldly gain. Using a qualitative approach based on library research, this study analyzes the historical background of the revelation, its socio-religious context, and interpretations from classical and contemporary Qur’anic scholars. The findings indicate that the Asbābun Nuzūl of verse 174 is closely related to the behavior of certain People of the Book who deliberately hid the truth about the prophethood of Muhammad ﷺ for personal interests. Such actions reflect a weak acknowledgment of Allah’s absolute authority as the Creator and Sustainer of the universe. The connection between this verse and Allah as the Creator of the heavens and the earth emphasizes that all knowledge, revelation, and truth originate solely from Him and must not be manipulated for material benefit. This research is expected to strengthen Islamic theological understanding regarding the obligation to convey truth honestly and to reinforce faith in Allah as the ultimate source of creation, guidance, and moral responsibility.

This study examines the position of Islamic inheritance law within Indonesia’s pluralistic national legal system, where Islamic inheritance law exists alongside customary inheritance law and Western civil inheritance law. The focus of the study is on the implementation of the Compilation of Islamic Law (Kompilasi Hukum Islam/KHI) as positive law in the settlement of inheritance cases for Muslims within the jurisdiction of the Religious Courts. Using a literature and documentation-based research approach, this study presents findings that, although KHI has become a normative guideline, its implementation in the field still faces various challenges, such as the public’s limited understanding of Islamic inheritance law, the strong influence of customary law, and the lack of administrative documents. Furthermore, the ununified legal pluralism results in different inheritance practices across regions. The findings indicate that judges in the Religious Courts tend to apply the provisions of the KHI consistently particularly Articles 171–214 while still taking into account local cultural contexts to maintain family harmony. This article recommends the importance of Islamic inheritance law education, strengthening the harmonization among legal systems, and encouraging the unification of national inheritance law to achieve legal certainty and justice comprehensively.

Thus, dialogue remains a crucial pillar in achieving sustainable and inclusive religious harmony in Indonesia, although it requires

This article discusses the importance of developing a Christian Religious Education (PAK) model based on Christian theology and implemented through the active role of the church in carrying out the Great Commission. True Christian education does not only convey doctrinal information, but also forms the character, spirituality, and calling of the people based on the word of God. The church is positioned as a learning community and the main implementer of the contextual, transformative, and biblical theology-rooted faith education process. Through a qualitative-descriptive approach and literature study, this paper emphasizes that theological foundations, such as God as the source of education, the Bible as the basis of teaching, Christ as the focus, and the church as the implementer, are inseparable elements of PAK. Christian Religious Education based on theology provides clear direction in designing content, methods, and learning objectives that are in line with God's will. Thus, this education model is expected to be able to answer the challenges of the times, strengthen the faith of the congregation, and produce strong and relevant followers of Christ in society.  

Active learning strategies are considered one of the most effective approaches in creating meaningful, participatory learning processes that enhance students’ intrinsic motivation. In the context of Fiqh learning, the implementation of active learning strategies plays a crucial role because Fiqh not only requires cognitive understanding but also involves strengthening attitudes and internalizing religious values. Traditional teacher-centered learning methods often lead to passive participation, boredom, and a lack of motivation among students. Therefore, the use of active learning strategies—such as group discussions, simulations, problem-solving activities, and experiential learning—can encourage students to participate more actively, think critically, and develop a stronger motivation to achieve better learning outcomes.This study aims to describe how active learning strategies can improve students’ motivation in Fiqh subjects. The analysis shows that engaging students directly in learning activities increases their attention, interest, and sense of responsibility in understanding the material. Additionally, two-way interactions between teachers and students create a more dynamic and enjoyable learning atmosphere. Thus, active learning strategies serve as a relevant and effective approach to enhancing learning motivation and improving the overall quality of Fiqh education.
