This study examines the dangers of zina (adultery) in the Kitab Mahfudzot Fadhoilul Iman with a focus on the moral and spiritual perspectives contained within it, as well as identifying strategies for preventing zina in daily life. The Kitab Mahfudzot Fadhoilul Iman depicts zina as a major sin that not only damages personal integrity but also disrupts social harmony and moral order within society. From a moral perspective, zina is viewed as a violation of purity, honor, and decorum in Islam, which can destroy relationships between individuals and degrade the quality of social life. Spiritually, zina is considered an act that blocks one from God's mercy, hardens the heart, and distances the individual from worldly and spiritual happiness. This research also identifies several prevention strategies based on the teachings in Kitab Mahfudzot Fadhoilul Iman, including strong religious education from an early age, maintaining proper interactions and modesty between men and women, strengthening worship and prayers as protection from temptations, and encouraging lawful marriage as a solution to safeguard purity. The findings emphasize the importance of applying the moral and spiritual values found in Islamic teachings to prevent the dangers of zina and maintain personal purity in daily life, which can contribute to the creation of a healthier and more harmonious society.

This study examines the virtues of knowledge and the classification of education based on the perspectives of two prominent Islamic scholars, Al-Ghazali and Ibn Qayyim, grounded in the framework of the Qur'an and Hadith. Islam assigns a distinguished position to knowledge, as reflected in Qur'anic verses such as Al-Mujadilah 11, which promises elevated ranks for those who believe and possess knowledge, and the supplication for increased knowledge in Thaha 114. In Hadith, knowledge is likened to beneficial milk that must be shared with others.

This research employs a literature review method to explore the concepts of the virtues of knowledge and education in Islam through the perspectives of Al-Ghazali and Ibn Qayyim. The findings reveal that both scholars present complementary views on the value of knowledge as an act of worship that brings one closer to Allah SWT, while categorizing knowledge based on its benefits for individuals and society. This study underscores that seeking knowledge is an obligation for every Muslim and a path to paradise, as affirmed in the Qur'an and Hadith. These findings provide valuable contributions to the development of Islamic education, particularly in instilling the virtues of knowledge in modern educational curricula.

The importance of seeking knowledge in Islam is emphasized as one of the means to achieve both worldly and eternal happiness. However, in the digital era, seeking knowledge faces new challenges and opportunities. This study examines the Islamic perspective on seeking knowledge in modern life, focusing on the challenges, opportunities, and the influence of technology on character development in the digital age. The main challenges include the overwhelming amount of information that may not always be of high quality, as well as the distractions brought by technology that can divert attention from the core purpose of education. On the other hand, the opportunities presented by the digital era include easy access to various knowledge sources through online platforms and more interactive and engaging learning methods. This research also identifies the influence of technology, such as social media and educational apps, in shaping an individual’s character through the dissemination of Islamic values that promote good morals. The findings show that although the challenges in the digital era are considerable, technology can be leveraged to enhance the pursuit of knowledge and ethical education when used wisely. Character development, in line with Islamic teachings, can still be achieved through the wise use of technology in seeking knowledge. This study recommends the integration of technological education and ethical education to shape a generation that is knowledgeable, morally upright, and ready to face the challenges of the modern world.

Abstract. Human Resource Management (HRM) is essential in today’s digital era to ensure that HR strategies meet the demands of the times. Business transformation driven by digital technology requires an understanding of how HRM responds to these changes and how it impacts employee dynamics. To create strategic initiatives that maximize the integration of technology and HRM, it is essential to understand the implications of technology integration on employee engagement and performance. In the context of the HRM paradigm, this study attempts to unravel the relationship between employee happiness, leadership competencies, and technology adoption. This study aims to explore the dynamics of digital transformation of Human Resource Management (HRM) in startups and examine its impact on employee engagement and performance. This study highlights the significant influence of technology on leadership skills development and the need for adaptive leadership in the digital era. The foundation of engagement is employee satisfaction, and higher levels of engagement are associated with improved organizational performance. These observations underscore the value of developing leadership skills, driving employee satisfaction, and leveraging technology, and provide useful suggestions for HRM practitioners in startups in Indonesia. This study serves as a basis for future research and improvement of HRM methods in different startup ecosystems in Indonesia, which prioritize employee welfare and organizational success in facing challenges in the digital era.

Leadership in the Islamic perspective is a sacred trust given by Allah to humans as His vicegerents on earth to prosper the world and safeguard the well-being of the community. Leaders are required to possess key qualities such as honesty, trustworthiness, intelligence, and the ability to convey the truth, as well as being faithful, pious, just, professional, and responsible. The stories of Prophet Adam and Prophet David in the Qur'an illustrate the immense responsibility and the risks of succumbing to desires, which can be overcome through introspection and repentance. An ideal leader should use the Qur'an and hadith as guidance to achieve justice, welfare, and blessings for themselves and their communities, serving as a foundation for happiness in this world and the hereafter.

This article discusses the role of reason, spirit and passion in human life according to Islamic teachings, and how these three elements interact with each other to achieve a balanced life. The purpose of this research is to understand how Islam teaches the management of reason, spirit and passion as fundamental elements in human life, so that true happiness in this world and the hereafter can be achieved. The method used in this research is literature review and text analysis of the main sources of Islam, such as the Qur'an and Hadith, as well as the opinions of relevant scholars and experts. The results of this study show that Islam emphasizes the importance of maintaining harmony between reason, spirit, and lust through worship, introspection, and self-control. The intellect functions as a tool for wise thinking and decision-making, helping humans understand religious teachings and controlling passions. The spirit as the spiritual essence connects humans with God, providing the impetus to do good and achieve spiritual happiness. Meanwhile, lust, which includes worldly urges, must be controlled so as not to lead humans to pleasures that violate sharia. The study concludes that the balance between these three elements leads to a meaningful life that is in line with the purpose of creation as servants of Allah.

In this research the author used a descriptive research method of literature study by taking data from books and journals related to the discussion. So the author concludes that human happiness can only be received from God because it is eternal happiness.

Knowledge plays a central role in Islamic teachings, both as a means to achieve worldly success and salvation in the afterlife. This study aims to examine the virtue of knowledge as the key to worldly and afterlife success based on the perspective of the Qur'an and hadith. The method used is a literature review with a thematic interpretation approach and hadith analysis to examine the verses of the Qur'an and hadiths related to knowledge. The results of the study show that the Qur'an and hadith firmly place knowledge in a very high position, with knowledge being the main factor that elevates human status, both in the world and in the afterlife. In Surah Al-Mujadilah verse 11, Allah SWT states that He will elevate the status of those who have knowledge, while the hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad SAW emphasize that knowledge is the path to heaven and good deeds whose rewards continue to flow.

Self-confidence is an important element in achieving success and happiness, and has a significant positive relationship with motivation to learn. However, many individuals face challenges in building their self-confidence due to social pressure and negative experiences. In this context, this study explores sources of motivation from a Quranic perspective, specifically through Surah At-Thaha verses 25-28, which describe Prophet Moses' plea to Allah for peace and ease in facing life's challenges. Tafsir Al-Misbah by Quraish Shihab provides the insight that self-confidence should be built on faith in Allah and recognition of one's potential. This study also highlights the importance of social support, appreciation, and a supportive environment in building self-confidence. Using a qualitative approach and literature review, the results show that self-confidence can be strengthened through spiritual connection, internal reinforcement, and recognition of personal weaknesses, which ultimately encourages individuals to express themselves and reach their full potential. This research is expected to inspire readers to apply Quranic values in their daily lives, in order to increase self-confidence and freedom of expression.
