The integration of Islamic education into a nation’s educational system represents a strategic effort to align religious and national educational objectives under a unified policy framework. In many Muslim-majority countries, the responsibility for managing Islamic education is delegated to local governments as part of a broader national consensus involving various educational stakeholders. This arrangement, however, often raises tensions because education policy is inherently a political decision influenced by state interests and ideological considerations. The process of incorporating Islamic education within the national system reflects the dynamic interplay between religion and politics, where Islamic education both shapes and is shaped by political structures. This study explores how political power affects the development, autonomy, and implementation of Islamic education policies. The objective is to highlight the challenges of maintaining educational freedom and religious authenticity while ensuring state oversight and quality assurance. The findings emphasize that a deep understanding of educational politics enables Muslim educators and policymakers to advocate for Islamic education that aligns with Islamic principles yet remains relevant within the national educational framework. Therefore, the balance between state control and institutional independence is essential in realizing the holistic goals of Islamic education in contemporary society.

Interpretation of the Qur'an is an effort to understand Allah's verses through various methods, including tafsir bil-ma'tsur, tafsir bil-ra'yi, and tafsir Isyari. Tafsir bil-ma'tsur relies on the Qur'an, hadith, and the understanding of the companions and the tabi'in, carrying strong authority but not without critique regarding the authenticity of its chains of narration and the potential inclusion of Israiliyat. Tafsir bil-ra'yi employs reason and logic, divided into commendable interpretations that adhere to the principles of Quranic exegesis and blameworthy interpretations that often deviate from Islamic law. Meanwhile, tafsir Isyari offers a symbolic and esoteric approach, requiring strict conditions to ensure relevance and alignment with the apparent meaning of the verses. Although scholars have differing opinions regarding the validity of these interpretative methods, they collectively reflect the intellectual richness of Islam in interpreting the Qur'an to meet the spiritual and intellectual needs of the community across different contexts and eras.

The digital era has changed the way teenagers interact with information and spiritual practices. On the one hand, quick access to various sources can enrich religious knowledge. On the other hand, inaccurate or deviant information is also easily spread, potentially leading to shirk practices. Teenagers in the identity search phase are often influenced by social media content and popular culture that can cloud their understanding of monotheism. The main challenge faced is the shift in spiritual values where traditional religious practices are often replaced by new rituals and beliefs that are not in accordance with religious teachings. The transformation of spiritual practices among teenagers is also seen in their adaptation to digital platforms, where many seek community and spiritual support online. The purpose of this study is to identify effective strategies to support a correct understanding of monotheism and reduce the influence of shirk, as well as to utilize the potential of digital media for constructive religious education. Empowering teenagers in understanding and practicing religious teachings critically is very important to maintain the authenticity of spiritual practices in the digital era. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative method, by making the Qur'an, books of hadith, books, magazines, articles and related journals as the main reading sources. The results of the study show; (1) that the advancement of digital technology has a great influence on the imitation of foreign cultures that smack of polytheism, (2) several figures exemplify the culture of polytheism while social media spreads it, (3) It is difficult to stem the flood of information on social media. Efforts to improve it include frequently listening to studies and attending training on the dangers of polytheism.

Radicalism remains a widespread global threat, especially in multicultural countries like Indonesia. Educational institutions play an essential role in countering radical ideologies by shaping students' characters to foster resilience against extremism. This paper explores how the synergy between architectural design, the authenticity of the place, and social adaptive learning through social networks and effective curriculum management contributes to creating an effective anti-radicalism learning environment. Using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, this study examines existing literature on educational architecture, place-based learning, effective learning curriculum and integration of social networks in character education. The review highlights how architectural spaces that encourage collaboration and interaction can help foster inclusivity, open dialogue, and social cohesion—key elements in preventing radicalization. In addition, the concept of authenticity of place, which emphasizes the connection between students and their local cultural heritage, is identified as an important factor in building tolerance and social awareness alongside the implementation of an effective learning curriculum. Through place-based learning, students can develop a stronger sense of identity and belonging so that they are less easily influenced by extremist ideologies. Furthermore, integrating social networks into educational environments is examined for their role in promoting socially adaptive learning. Social platforms provide opportunities for students to engage with diverse perspectives, develop critical thinking, and build empathy—skills that are essential to counter radicalization. The SLR method allows for a comprehensive synthesis of research findings, offering new insights into how educational spaces can be designed to foster anti-radicalism character. This study contributes to the body of knowledge on the relationship between architecture, cultural context, effective curriculum implementation, and digital learning and offers recommendations for educational institutions to enhance their role in preventing radicalization.

This paper proposes Blockchain-Enhanced Multi-Factor Authentication (BEMFA) to address the limitations of existing authentication mechanisms in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). BEMFA combines multi-factor authentication (MFA) with blockchain technology to ensure robust, scalable, and tamper-resistant security tailored to IIoT environments. This method dynamically manages roles and permissions, detects malicious devices, and ensures data integrity and authenticity. Our results demonstrate that BEMFA significantly enhances security, addressing critical access control challenges and mitigating risks posed by malicious devices while maintaining data integrity.

In the rapidly advancing digital era, information security has become a crucial aspect in maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of data. This article discusses the relationship between information system auditing and the use of modern cryptographic combinations in securing text messages. Information system auditing serves as an evaluation mechanism to ensure that security policies, procedures, and standards are correctly and consistently applied. On the other hand, modern cryptography provides advanced encryption technology that protects text messages from unauthorized access and manipulation. By combining these two approaches, we can create a robust framework for securing text messages, ensuring that data remains safe and protected during transmission and storage. Research results indicate that integrating information system auditing with modern cryptographic techniques significantly enhances the security and reliability of information systems.
