Penelitian ini mengkaji rasionalitas pewahyuan Al-Qur’an melalui pendekatan skripturalis-filosofis guna menegaskan relevansi epistemologis wahyu dalam konteks keilmuan modern. Kajian ini berangkat dari pandangan bahwa wahyu bukan sekadar fenomena teologis, tetapi juga sumber pengetahuan yang dapat diuji secara rasional. Analisis dilakukan menggunakan kombinasi metode hermeneutik filosofis, analisis wacana, filologi Semitik, dan pendekatan komputasional berbasis pemrosesan bahasa alami. Pendekatan ini memungkinkan interpretasi mendalam terhadap struktur argumentatif teks dan konteks historisnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pewahyuan Al-Qur’an memiliki koherensi internal yang kuat, dibuktikan melalui stabilitas filologis manuskrip, kontinuitas transmisi, serta konsistensi retorika dan struktur teologisnya. Wahyu terbukti berfungsi sebagai fondasi epistemik yang menuntun akal dan ilmu pengetahuan menuju kesatuan kebenaran. Penelitian ini juga mengungkap relevansi universal Al-Qur’an dalam etika, pluralisme, dan integrasi sains melalui paradigma tawhidic yang menolak dikotomi antara agama dan ilmu. Hasil analisis memperlihatkan bahwa rasionalitas wahyu memiliki nilai universal dan aplikatif dalam membangun sistem pengetahuan yang komprehensif, interdisipliner, dan berorientasi nilai. Studi ini memperkaya filsafat Islam kontemporer dengan menawarkan model epistemologi integratif yang dapat digunakan untuk mengembangkan wacana etika global, pendidikan spiritual, serta kebijakan ilmu berbasis nilai-nilai wahyu.

Manipulation of public data in criminal policy is a strategic practice that selects and frames information to cover up institutional violations, and legitimizes repressive policies that ignore the principle of justice. Unfortunately, the development of communication technology has accelerated the circulation of information, leading to the birth of repressive policies based on popularity and distorted narratives. This study uses a qualitative research method with a conceptual approach. The data collection method was collected using library research, then analyzed using qualitative methods and presented descriptively. The results of the study indicate that manipulation of public data in criminal policy shifts the orientation of policy from fact-based rationality to biased emotional responses, so that it not only widens inequality and creates selective law enforcement, but also damages institutional legitimacy and erodes public trust in the criminal justice system. A transformative mitigation strategy is needed institutionally and culturally, through the implementation of comprehensive transparency in the entire data management cycle, strict and enforceable regulations, increasing public data literacy as a bulwark against misleading narratives, and the ethical use of digital technology, in order to return policy to a basis of evidence that is fair, accountable, and relevant to the social complexity faced.

This study aims to examine the application of mala in se and mala per se concepts in the counter-terrorism policy in Indonesia, based on Law Number 15 of 2003 in conjunction with Law Number 5 of 2018. Terrorism is categorized as an extraordinary crime that causes serious harm both nationally and internationally. This research employs a literature review and normative legal approach to analyze the application of criminal law norms within the context of human rights protection. The findings show that terrorism, as a mala in se offense, requires a comprehensive legal approach that prioritizes not only national security but also the protection of civil rights. The enforcement of anti-terrorism laws, if applied too broadly and harshly, may violate the principles of due process and substantive justice. Therefore, counter-terrorism efforts must be based on the pro justitia principle, supported by independent oversight and active civil society participation to prevent abuse of power and maintain the integrity of the legal system.

The use of persuasion theory is extremely important in daily life. Persuasion is crucial in situations other than marketing campaigns or political campaigns.

The ABDIMAS activity which was held on Thursday, March 13, 2025, combined lecture technique and direct practice. From the results of the practice, it was found that all participants were able to apply Aristotle's rhetorical triangle persuasion strategy, with the most dominant strategy used being logos.

Mathematics is a fundamental science that underpins many aspects of daily life.  Where mathematics can be used as a method of solving problems that we face in life activities, such as in using information, knowledge and seeing and using relationships between objects. Not only that, the important role of mathematics includes the formation and development of rational, logical, systematic and critical thinking skills. In the study conducted by Putrihapsari and Fauziah (2020), Nazir (2014) defines literature study as a research approach that involves evaluating a multitude of literature studies that are pertinent to the research being conducted. This strategy is employed in research as a preliminary stage to organise the investigation by gathering data from literature in the subject, without the necessity for direct involvement. By using the PjBL model, it is hoped that it can cover 21st century skills so that it can improve the quality of students' mathematical literacy skills. Given that students must collaborate from the outset, the Project Based Learning (PjBL) learning paradigm may assist them in developing the skills required to work effectively in groups. In order for students to comprehend the rationale and benefits of the mathematics education they receive in the classroom, this learning paradigm is essential for fostering mathematical literacy.

Spiritual rhetoric has an important role in strengthening understanding and communication of religious teachings, but often does not receive sufficient attention in Christian religious education. The approach of Quintilianes, a famous philosopher and rhetorician from the ancient Roman era, provides a solid foundation for improving the teaching of spiritual rhetoric. This article presents key concepts from Quintilianes' thinking that can be adapted in the study of Christianity, such as the importance of ethics in communication, developing speaking skills, and emphasizing the formation of good character. This integration strategy can be applied in various contexts of Christian religious education, both in religious schools, churches and within the family environment. By incorporating elements of spiritual rhetoric into the curriculum, educators can help students understand and articulate their beliefs more effectively, while promoting fundamental moral and spiritual values. In facing the complexity of the contemporary world, the integration of Quintilianes' thoughts in the study of Christianity becomes increasingly relevant. This article proposes that this approach can provide a powerful foundation for increasing understanding, appreciation, and practice of Christianity, as well as fostering deeper spiritual growth in students.
