This study aims to analyze the strategies employed by ustadz and ustadzah at Pondok Pesantren Tarbiyatul Islam (PPTI) Al-Falah in maintaining family resilience. The family, as the smallest unit in society, plays a crucial role in shaping individuals’ character, morality, and spirituality, particularly for those living in a pesantren environment characterized by intensive religious and educational activities. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through interviews and observations involving married ustadz and ustadzah who reside within the pesantren environment. The results indicate that in building a household, conflicts are inevitable. Due to teaching responsibilities that often extend into the night, miscommunication may occur and potentially lead to domestic issues. Therefore, family resilience among ustadz and ustadzah at PPTI Al-Falah is developed through five main strategies: (1) spiritual strategies, (2) communicative strategies, (3) educational strategies, (4) social and environmental strategies, and (5) economic and time management strategies.

The Qiroati method is an instructional approach to reading the Qur’an that emphasizes direct practice of tartil recitation in accordance with the rules of tajwid. This method is practical, systematic, and implemented gradually, meaning that learners are not allowed to proceed to the next level before achieving fluency at the current stage. One of the main challenges in learning to read and memorize the Qur’an is the limited use of structured teaching methods, as some teachers still rely primarily on personal experience and conventional reading approaches. This condition contributes to students’ lack of fluency in reading and memorizing the Qur’an, as well as decreased learning motivation due to monotonous and less effective instructional practices. This study aims to examine the implementation of the Qiroati method in improving students’ Qur’anic reading ability within the Tahfidzul Qur’an program at SMP Daruttaqwa Full Day School. The findings are expected to provide useful insights for educators and contribute to academic knowledge. This research employs a field research design with a descriptive qualitative approach, focusing on describing the application of the Qiroati method in enhancing students’ reading ability in relation to Qur’an memorization. Data were collected through interviews, tests, and documentation, while data analysis involved data collection, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the implementation of the Qiroati method effectively improves students’ ability to read the Qur’an in the Tahfidzul Qur’an program. This is evidenced by the improvement in students’ reading scores compared to their previous performance. In practice, the method involves teachers modeling correct recitation, followed by students reading collectively. Therefore, the Qiroati method not only enhances students’ accuracy in reading the Qur’an but also fosters a more engaging and effective learning environment.

Low-rank coal generally has a high moisture content, which results in a low calorific value and suboptimal quality for utilization as an energy source. One method that can be applied to improve coal quality is the Upgrading Brown Coal (UBC) process, which functions to reduce moisture content and increase fixed carbon value. This study aims to analyze the effect of heating time and the ratio of used oil composition on improving coal quality based on proximate parameters. The research method includes collecting coal samples from four locations in Samarinda and its surrounding areas, namely SMAN 1 Samarinda, Bhineka Street, Palaran Stadium, and Tani Bakti Village. The samples were analyzed using proximate analysis, including inherent moisture (IM), ash content (AC), volatile matter (VM), and fixed carbon (FC), both before and after the UBC process. The upgrading process was carried out with variations in heating time and used oil composition as a coating medium to enhance coal stability and prevent moisture reabsorption. The final results of the upgrading process showed the best values of inherent moisture at 13.64%, ash content at 4.66%, volatile matter at 55.06%, and fixed carbon at 44.94%. The results indicate that the UBC process is capable of reducing inherent moisture and increasing fixed carbon, thereby improving coal quality. Variations in heating time and used oil composition have a significant effect on changes in proximate parameters. Longer heating time and an appropriate ratio of used oil composition result in a more optimal improvement in coal quality.

The University of North Sumatra Mini Stadium is a sports complex covering an area of 6.4 hectares. This facility is located on Jalan Almamater, Padang Bulan, Medan Baru, Medan City, North Sumatra. Various sports activities are facilitated in this area, including volleyball, basketball, tennis, table tennis, taekwondo, rock climbing, archery, and soccer, all of which are integral parts of the facilities and infrastructure available at the Mini Stadium. In addition to the main stadium, the University of North Sumatra Mini Stadium complex is equipped with various supporting buildings and fields. These facilities serve as a means for developing and channeling students’ interests and athletic talents, as well as a public space that can be utilized by the people of Medan City for sports activities. However, functionally, the University of North Sumatra Mini Stadium complex is considered suboptimal in effectively accommodating and supporting sports activities. The non-compliance of installations with applicable standards, as well as the condition of a number of facilities that no longer meet suitability criteria and tend to be neglected particularly the soccer field and its supporting facilities are the main problems at the University of North Sumatra Mini Stadium complex. Therefore, the redesign of the University of North Sumatra’s mini stadium, using a structural architecture approach as an aesthetic element, is expected to result in a building that is not only structurally sound but also aesthetically pleasing.

This study aims to examine the factors that influence students’ interest in learning Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at SMA Daruttaqwa Dahanrejo Kebomas Gresik. The research applies a qualitative method using a case study approach. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews with students, teachers, and administrative staff, as well as direct observation of the PAI learning process. The results reveal that students’ learning interest is shaped by both internal and external factors. Internal factors include individual characteristics, intellectual ability, and psychological conditions. Meanwhile, external factors consist of the role of competent teachers, parental support, the availability of facilities and infrastructure, and a supportive learning environment. The implementation of PAI learning involves various methods, such as lectures, storytelling of prophets and pious scholars, question-and-answer activities, the use of social and visual media, assignments, discussions, and role modeling. Factors that enhance learning interest include teacher motivation, family support, a conducive environment, alignment with students’ interests, and the quality of learning materials. The primary obstacle identified is the suboptimal management and scheduling of instructional time.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the memorization method of the Jurumiyah book in improving students’ understanding of the yellow book at Al-Istiqomah Islamic Boarding School, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and examine its contribution to students’ learning abilities. This research employed a descriptive qualitative field study conducted at Al-Istiqomah Islamic Boarding School in Tanjungsari Village, Petanahan, Kebumen, from December 2025 to February 2026. The research subjects included caregivers, khadimul ma’had, ustadz or ustadzah, and students. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed descriptively. The findings show that the memorization method of the Jurumiyah book is implemented through stages of preparation, memorization deposit, and evaluation. In the memorization process, students not only memorize the text but also understand its meaning and apply nahwu rules in reading the yellow book. Several supporting techniques, such as lalalaran, association, the cantol system, and tikrar, help strengthen students’ memorization. Supporting factors include motivation, discipline, teacher guidance, and a conducive environment, while inhibiting factors include differences in students’ abilities, lack of concentration, and limited learning time. Overall, the method contributes positively to improving students’ ability to read and understand the yellow book.  

The development of Pantai Indah Kapuk 2 (PIK 2) presents serious issues, including eviction, the loss of traditional livelihoods, and the marginalization of local communities within a modernization agenda that disregards social justice and sustainability. This research questions the extent to which the dominant modernization bias influences the socio-economic conditions of the surrounding community, as well as how public participation practices are implemented in the planning and execution of the project. The PIK 2 project has led to social inequality, the deprivation of rights, and environmental degradation, illustrating a pattern of systemic exploitation of coastal communities through the economic and political power of development elites. The dominant development theory framework proposed by Melkote and Steeves is used to examine modernization bias, supplemented by Islamic concepts such as mustadh’afin and ghasab to strengthen the social justice perspective. In this study, the author employs a qualitative case study approach, utilizing in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation involving affected residents, community leaders, and policymakers. The results of the analysis indicate very low levels of public participation, instances of intimidation during land acquisition, and a significant loss of access to employment and basic facilities for the community. The conclusion of this research emphasizes the need for policy reform to ensure that development is more transparent, participatory, and equitable, in order to protect the rights of local communities from dominant and exploitative development patterns.

This study aims to describe the role of parents in increasing the motivation to learn to read and write the Qur'an (BTA) at TPQ Babul Khair Abepura and analyze its impact on the children's abilities. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving teachers/ustadz, parents, and students as data sources. Data was collected through observations, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, with its validity tested through source triangulation. The results show that the role of parents is crucial in enhancing children's learning motivation, both as educators, motivators, facilitators, and role models. Active parental involvement has proven to improve discipline, enthusiasm for learning, and children's achievements in reading and writing the Qur'an. On the other hand, a lack of parental involvement negatively affects children's motivation and abilities. The motivation provided by parents helps in the smooth reading of the Qur'an, understanding tajwid, and writing hijaiyah letters. In conclusion, the success of BTA learning is not only dependent on the process at TPQ but is also influenced by parental involvement at home. The synergy between the family and educational institutions is crucial in improving the quality of Qur'an learning and shaping a morally upright generation.

This study aims to analyze the effect of digital financial literacy and economic stress on household financial management quality, with self-control as an intervening variable. This research adopts a quantitative approach using Partial Least Square–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to household respondents and analyzed using SmartPLS. The results indicate that digital financial literacy has a positive and significant effect on household financial management quality and self-control. In contrast, economic stress does not have a significant effect on either self-control or household financial management quality. Furthermore, self-control does not mediate the relationship between digital financial literacy and economic stress on household financial management quality. These findings highlight the importance of enhancing digital financial literacy to improve household financial management in the digital era.

Islamic boarding schools (Islamic boarding schools) are required to integrate classical scholarly traditions and modern education, one way of doing this is through the integration of the study of yellow books (tahfidzul Qur'an) and Qur'an memorization (tahfidzul Qur'an). The Baitul Abidin Darussalam Wonosobo Tahfidzul Qur'an Islamic Boarding School implements an integrative learning system to balance Qur'an memorization and understanding of Islamic law (shari'a). However, it still faces obstacles such as a tight schedule, different methods, and weak coordination and evaluation. This study examines the implementation patterns, challenges, and impacts of this system, with the hope of serving as a reference for developing a balanced and sustainable model of Islamic boarding school education. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design to understand in-depth the implementation of the integrative learning system between Qur'an memorization and the study of yellow books (tahfidzul Qur'an) at the Baitul Abidin Darussalam Wonosobo Islamic Boarding School (PPTQ). Subjects were selected purposively, including the boarding school administrator, tahfidz teachers, yellow book teachers, and students. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies. Data analysis was conducted interactively using the Miles and Huberman model, which encompasses data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing and verification to obtain a holistic and contextual understanding. The discussion shows that the integrative learning system in Islamic boarding schools is implemented through a balanced daily schedule between Quran memorization and yellow book study, allowing memorization, understanding, and moral development to occur simultaneously within the students' daily routines. Integration is achieved structurally through scheduling, methodologically by linking verse memorization with book study, and culturally through the instillation of values, etiquette, and pesantren traditions. The success of integration is supported by the exemplary behavior of the kiai (Islamic teachers) and ustadz (Islamic teachers), the religious environment, and the motivation and discipline of the students, despite challenges such as busy schedules, physical exhaustion, differences in student abilities, and limited facilities. The impact of implementing this system is seen in the improved quality of contextual memorization, a more critical understanding of the scriptures, the formation of disciplined and moral character, and the holistic spiritual development of students.

The global environmental crisis has had an impact on religious educational environments such as Islamic boarding schools. The phenomenon at Pondok Pesantren X Malang shows a gap between the normative knowledge of students about cleanliness and their actual behavior, such as the habit of littering. This study is based on the hypothesis that students' ecological awareness is formed through the interaction between knowledge, experience, and the social context in the pesantren. The research method uses an exploratory qualitative approach with a grounded research design through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation of six students aged 10–12 years. The results revealed three main themes: knowledge about trash (45%), irresponsible habits (34%), and active awareness (21%). These findings confirm that although santri have a fairly good initial understanding, behavioral change is still hindered by social habits. In conclusion, strengthening reflective education, the exemplary role of ustadz, and institutional support are crucial for building sustainable ecological awareness in Islamic boarding schools.

Madrasahs play a strategic role in shaping the moral character of young generations amid the challenges of the digital era, particularly Generation Alpha, who grow up in an environment dominated by technology. This community service activity aims to analyze and strengthen the role of Madrasah Baitul Mu’minin in Ngemplak Village in forming the moral character (akhlaq) of Generation Alpha through a Qur’anic empowerment approach. This program employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, involving madrasah caregivers, teachers (ustadz and ustadzah), students, and parents. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The results indicate that Madrasah Baitul Mu’minin plays a significant role in strengthening the moral character of Generation Alpha through Qur’an-based learning that emphasizes understanding and value implementation, consistent religious habituation, and exemplary behavior of educators. The Qur’anic empowerment approach proved effective in internalizing Qur’anic values and fostering moral awareness among students. Furthermore, the madrasah functions as a moral and spiritual development center that helps counterbalance the negative impacts of digital technology. These findings highlight the importance of non-formal madrasahs as adaptive bases for Islamic character education in responding to contemporary challenges.
