Introduction: Ramadan fasting is a religious practice observed by Muslims by abstaining from food and drink from dawn until sunset. These changes may increase the need for oral and dental healthcare. However, some Muslims still perceive that undergoing dental treatment while fasting may invalidate the fast, leading many patients to delay or avoid dental visits during Ramadan. Objective: This study aims to review and analyse various scientific literature regarding the safety and permissibility of dental procedures for patients who are observing fasting during Ramadan. Methods: This study used a narrative review method by searching scientific articles through PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases using keywords relevant to the research topic. Articles were selected based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The review findings indicate that most dental procedures, such as local anaesthesia administration, scaling, restorative treatment, and tooth extraction, generally do not invalidate fasting as long as no material or fluid is intentionally swallowed. The use of suction devices, isolation of the treatment area, and proper scheduling of dental procedures are important factors in minimizing the risk of swallowing fluids during treatment. Conclusion: Most dental procedures can be safely performed on fasting patients while still considering both medical aspects and Islamic principles. Patient education regarding the safety of dental procedures during fasting should be improved to prevent delays in treatment and complications in oral health.

This study aims to describe and analyze in depth the actualization of school leadership based on the values of Ahlussunnah Wal Jama'ah (Aswaja) at SDIT Mutiara Palabuhanratu, Sukabumi Regency. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design. Data was collected through interviews, observations, and documentation studies of various parties involved in school management. The results of the study show that school leadership integrates Aswaja values, namely tawassuth (moderate), tawazun (balanced), i'tidal (firm/straight), and tasamuh (tolerant), in policy making, curriculum management, and character development of students. The actualization of these values has an impact on the creation of a harmonious, inclusive, and oriented learning environment for the development of moderate Islamic character. An important point found is the integration of Aswaja values in the school's visions and missions, student discipline, and religious programs such as morning dhikr and dawn lectures. These programs support the formation of righteous, intelligent, and outstanding students, while strengthening the school's identity as an educational institution based on moderate Islamic values. This research confirms that Aswaja-based leadership not only serves as a normative guideline, but also as a practical strategy in building a school culture that is sustainable and relevant to the needs of the community.

This study aims to describe the lifestyle and potential participation of financial institution pension funds (DPLK) among young workers in Jakarta. The study respondents included 42 young workers with various occupational backgrounds and income levels. The results showed that 46% of young workers have a low-cost lifestyle, so they stated that preparing for retirement funds early is important. Furthermore, 46% of respondents have the ability to save in DPLK with monthly contributions between Rp100,000–Rp300,000, 28% can contribute more than Rp300,000, while 26% can only set aside less than Rp100,000 per month. This level of awareness shows variations in financial readiness influenced by several factors. First, a still dominant consumptive lifestyle causes some young workers to delay retirement planning. Second, low financial literacy regarding pension funds makes them less aware of the benefits and urgency of DPLK participation. Third, the perception that retirement is still far away encourages delays, thus reducing commitment to active participation. To increase young worker participation, several strategies can be adopted, including relevant and contextual pension fund education, providing digital platforms that facilitate access, implementing incentive systems to attract interest, and positioning Pension Funds (DPLK) as part of a modern lifestyle. Furthermore, innovative ultra-micro DPLK products can reach workers with limited financial resources. If these strategic steps are implemented consistently, young worker participation in DPLK has the potential to increase significantly. Thus, pension funds in Indonesia can enter a "dawn" era marked by early awareness, rather than being seen as a "twilight era" relevant only near retirement age.

This study examines public perceptions of the practice of "dawn attack" in the 2024 election, which is a form of money politics that is still rampant in Indonesia. This study aims to understand how the public assesses the impact of such practices on democratic integrity and voter behavior. This study involved 101 respondents with diverse backgrounds, the majority of whom were students, and some came from other professions such as civil servants, teachers, entrepreneurs, and medical personnel. Data collection was carried out through an open questionnaire, which was then analyzed using thematic methods to identify the main patterns in the community's view. The results of the study showed that the majority of respondents considered the dawn attack as a form of political manipulation that undermined the principle of fairness in elections. As many as 56.4% of respondents admitted that they had seen or knew of this practice, with the main impact in the form of temporary economic benefits and changes in voter behavior. This study highlights the importance of concrete steps in suppressing the practice of money politics, including through stricter law enforcement and political education for the public. Thus, this research is expected to contribute to efforts to create a fairer, more transparent, and democratic electoral system in the future.

The implications of the internalization of religious values ​​and independence of female students through the ma'had activities at the Al-Amien Prenduan Islamic Education Institute are that female students have targets, planning, can appreciate time, and become mature.

Time management is planning, organizing and monitoring time productivity. Time is a performance resource that must be managed effectively and efficiently. In the world of education, time is likened to a sword that must be mastered, as well as in the field of tahfidz al-Qur'an, one of which is implemented in Dayah in Aceh, management is really needed to achieve the memorization target. Regarding this, standard data has not been found regarding time management at Dayah, therefore this research seeks to answer the concept of time management, its application, settings and implications for student memorization. This research is a field study using a qualitative approach, carried out at Islamic boarding schools in Aceh. Data analysis techniques are carried out through data reduction, data presentation and data verification. The research results show that the time management concept for tahfidz is prepared/scheduled after evening and evening prayers and memorized deposits after dawn prayers. This time is short, if you look at Dayah's priority which is devoted to memorization. The application of time management is not optimal, students often procrastinate memorizing, they do not recognize the activities (memorization) and the application of time is still not clear. Apart from that, students are less focused on results, and their responses or attitudes are less firm at times. The implications of time management for memorizing the Al-Qur'an in Dayah, in general, can be seen from the increase and changes in students memorizing the Al-Qur'an.
