This study aims to analyze the implementation of video animation-based flipped classroom learning model in increasing students' learning interest in science subjects with material on the structure and function of living organisms in class 8D at SMPN 1 Sanrobone. The low interest in learning science among students is a major problem that needs to be addressed through more attractive and interactive learning innovations. The video animation-based flipped classroom model was chosen because it can optimize classroom learning time for more meaningful activities, while basic concept understanding is done independently through engaging animated videos. This study uses a survey method with a descriptive quantitative approach. The research subjects were  students of class 8D SMPN 1 Sanrobone in the even semester of the 2024/2025 academic year. Research instruments used learning interest questionnaires, observations, and documentation. The results showed that the implementation of video animation-based flipped classroom model was able to increase students' learning interest with high categories in aspects of attention, interest, involvement, and learning satisfaction. Animated videos presented before face-to-face learning provide clear visualizations of the structure and function of living organisms, making students more prepared and enthusiastic to participate in discussions and practical activities in class. This learning model also encourages student learning independence and increases active interaction in learning. This study recommends the implementation of video animation-based flipped classroom as an alternative effective and innovative science learning strategy to increase students' learning interest.

The rapid development of digital technology, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, has brought changes to people's behavior and lifestyle with the trend of digital payments. One of the advances in digital financial services technology is PayLater, a Fintech innovation that offers easy transactions in the form of loans and installments without a credit card. This study aims to analyze the influence of transaction convenience and risk perception on purchasing decisions using the PayLater feature on e-commerce platforms among Generation Z in Samarinda City. This study uses a quantitative approach with associative methods and multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS 27. The method used is purposive sampling to obtain a sample of 100 respondents from Generation Z in Samarinda City, aged 18-28 years, who have used PayLater on e-commerce platforms. The findings show that transaction convenience (X1) has a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions, but risk perception (X2) does not have a significant effect on purchasing decisions. At the same time, both variables have a significant effect on purchasing decisions. The findings of this study are expected to provide valuable insights for the PayLater feature to design more effective strategies to improve customer satisfaction and transaction experience.

Islamic banking plays a crucial role in providing financing in accordance with Islamic principles, including through the Home Ownership Credit (KPR) product. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Murabahah and Musyarakah Mutanaqishah (MMQ) contracts in the iB Hijrah KPR financing product at Bank Muamalat KCP Rancaekek. The Murabahah contract is implemented through a sale and purchase mechanism, where the bank purchases the house the customer needs and resells it with an agreed profit margin, thus providing price certainty and a simple process. Meanwhile, the MMQ contract is based on a partnership between the bank and the customer with a concept of joint ownership that gradually decreases, thus creating flexibility and a more balanced risk sharing. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through literature studies, interviews, and observations. The results of the analysis show that the majority of customers prefer the Murabahah contract due to its simplicity, although in the long term, MMQ is seen as more economical and fair. Thus, both contracts are equally relevant to support Sharia-based home ownership. This research is expected to contribute to Islamic banking in improving service quality, strengthening Islamic financial literacy, and encouraging innovation in competitive and sustainable financing products.

This study examines the development of Islamic civilization during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) using an approach that rejects the conceptual dichotomy between the Meccan and Medina phases. The title "Meccan Period (622–632 CE)" in this context is not interpreted geographically, but rather as a historical and substantial continuation of Islamic values instilled in Mecca before 622 CE and culminating in the socio-political institutions in Medina after the Hijrah. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach to examine the causal relationship between the spiritual foundations instilled in Mecca and the development of Islamic civilization institutions in Medina. The results of the study indicate that the Meccan period was a phase in the formation of the spiritual and moral character of Muslims through the strengthening of the values of monotheism, patience, justice, and noble character amidst social and political pressures. These values formed a solid ideological basis for the formation of a civilized Islamic society. After the Hijrah to Medina, these values were not only maintained but also systematically institutionalized. This is reflected in several important aspects, such as the drafting of the Medina Charter as the basis of the constitution that guarantees plurality and social justice, the establishment of the Prophet's Mosque as a center of religious and governmental activities, the regulation of the economic system through the prohibition of usury and the obligation of zakat as a form of equitable distribution of wealth, and the development of an educational system that emphasizes the integration of knowledge and manners. Thus, it is concluded that the consolidated Islamic civilization until 632 AD was the result of a development process based on spiritual and moral values that had been intensively instilled since the early phase in Mecca. This study emphasizes the importance of value continuity in the process of social transformation, as well as the relevance of a spiritual approach in the development of an inclusive, just, and sustainable civilization.

Specifically, both the Exchange Rate and DJIA show effects that are consistent with the hypothesis expectations. The Exchange Rate has a negative and significant effect on the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII), while the DJIA has a positive and significant effect. Meanwhile, the Money Supply (M2) and the Dow Jones Islamic Market (DJIM) are not found to have a significant effect on the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII). The FTSE Bursa Malaysia Hijrah Shariah Index (FHSI), on the other hand, is significantly influenced by the Dow Jones Islamic Market (DJIM). Specifically, DJIM has a positive and significant effect on FHSI. Conversely, the Exchange Rate, Money Supply (M2), and Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) are not found to have a significant effect on the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Hijrah Shariah Index (FHSI).

The phenomenon of religious hijrah (spiritual migration) among Generation Z (Gen Z) has emerged as a noteworthy social trend in recent years. This study aims to explore the religious tendencies of Gen Z through a phenomenological approach, focusing on two prominent currents of Islamic preaching: Sufism and Salafism. Employing a qualitative method, in-depth interviews were conducted with selected Gen Z individuals actively engaged in Sufi- and Salafi-oriented preaching communities. The findings reveal that their choice of religious orientation is not solely influenced by theological aspects, but also shaped by social, psychological, and personal spiritual factors. Sufism tends to appeal to those seeking inner peace and spiritual experience, while Salafism attracts individuals who yearn for religious certainty and a firm Islamic identity. These results reflect the complex and diverse nature of Gen Z’s religiosity, emphasizing the need for contextual and humanistic preaching strategies. This study hopes to contribute to a deeper understanding of young Muslims' religious patterns and the development of more relevant da'wah approaches in the digital age.

The development of the Islamic economy globally continues to show an encouraging increase. However, in Indonesia, Islamic financial literacy and inclusion are still relatively low. One of the main challenges is the gap between theoretical understanding and application of Islamic financial products, especially among Gen-Z students. This study aims to evaluate students' level of knowledge about Islamic finance and their tendency to manage their personal finances, as well as identify factors that hinder the use of Islamic financial services. This study used a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through questionnaires. A total of 77 students from Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI) became respondents in this study. The results obtained show that although students have a fairly good level of literacy and high interest in the Islamic financial system, it has not been followed by real practice in everyday life. The findings emphasize the need to increase educational efforts, utilize digital media more effectively, and strengthen the accessibility of Islamic financial services among the younger generation.

This study focuses on the marketing strategy of the Murabahah bil Wakalah financing product at Bank Muamalat Indonesia KCU Denpasar, Badung Regency, Bali. Murabahah is a sales contract that states the acquisition price and the agreed profit margin, while wakalah is the delegation of purchasing goods on behalf of the first party. The study aims to examine the marketing strategy and customer interest in this financing product. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and triangulation, and data analysis techniques including data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the marketing strategy includes several elements: product (iB Hijrah Multiguna Consumer Financing and iB Muamalat KPR), price (transparent and mutually agreed upon), place (strategic office location), promotion (social media, website, email marketing), people (professional staff), process (focused on customer satisfaction), and physical evidence (supportive physical elements). Customer interest is influenced by internal factors, trust, and a sense of security. The study's implications can serve as a reference for Bank Muamalat to increase the attractiveness of financing products to customers.
