The relationship between Islam and democracy has been a complex and often debated topic, particularly in Muslim-majority countries. This research aims to explore the compatibility between Islamic principles and democratic values using Indonesia as a case study. As one of the largest Muslim countries in the world, Indonesia offers a unique context in integrating religious teachings with the modern democratic system. Through qualitative methods that included a Google Form-based survey and a literature review of academic articles and journals, this research found that the majority of respondents (70%) believe that democratic values are in line with Islamic teachings, such as justice, deliberation and equality. However, the research also identified a number of challenges that Indonesia faces in harmonizing the two concepts. The main challenges include differences in the interpretation of Islamic law, difficulties in balancing sharia law with secular law, and the issue of political pluralism. In addition, factors such as intolerance, radicalism and identity politics often become obstacles in creating harmony between religious and democratic values. Despite these obstacles, Indonesia has made significant progress through moderation, strengthening civil society, and successfully managing religious and cultural diversity. Local traditions such as deliberation, gotong royong and pluralism provide a strong foundation for building an inclusive democratic system. This approach is not only relevant for the Indonesian context, but can also serve as a model for other Muslim-majority countries seeking to integrate religion and democracy. This research offers a new contribution to the understanding of the dynamics of the relationship between Islam and democracy, and highlights the importance of civil society strengthening, pluralism education, and the adaptation of religious values in the context of modern democracy. With the results obtained, this research is expected to be a reference for other Muslim countries in creating harmonious and sustainable political governance.

The Republic of Indonesia is a constitutional state, as specified in Article 1, Paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution. As a nation that upholds the rule of law as the highest authority in its governmental system, the existence of the Judiciary plays a central role as an absolute requirement for upholding the supremacy of law to ensure justice. According to the provisions of Article 24, Paragraph (2), the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court are institutions with the highest authority in enforcing law and justice in accordance with the mandate of the Constitution. The 2024 Indonesian Presidential and Vice-Presidential Election, also known as the 2024 Presidential Election, is the fifth such election in Indonesia to choose the President and Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia. The results of this election triggered various reactions from different groups. Criticism of the results, particularly from opposing candidates, was not uncommon. This debate occurred not only among political elites but also within the broader community. The purpose of this study is to examine the factors influencing the Constitutional Court's decision regarding the results of the 2024 Presidential Election and its impact on Indonesia's political and legal systems. This research employs a normative juridical legal approach, using library research as the primary data source. The study reveals that in resolving disputes over the 2024 Presidential Election results, the Constitutional Court considered valid and relevant evidence, despite dissenting opinions from some judges. The decision's impact-both in terms of the winner's legitimacy and public perception-can either enhance or deteriorate public views on the quality of Indonesia's democracy. This research is expected to provide deeper insights into the role of the Constitutional Court in safeguarding electoral integrity, addressing political controversies, and its implications for Indonesia's future political system.

This article explores the role of the Nestorian Church in spreading Christianity throughout Asia and examines its possible presence in the Indonesian archipelago. Using a qualitative-historical approach and content analysis of primary and secondary sources, this study highlights the Nestorians' contributions in China since the 7th century, particularly in education and healthcare. While their presence in Indonesia remains debated, evidence such as activity in the port of Barus suggests they introduced Christianity through trade networks. However, their influence was curtailed by political shifts, the rise of Islam, and limited socio-political support. This study underscores the significance of the East Syrian tradition in shaping Asian Christian identity and calls for deeper inquiry into Nestorian traces in Southeast Asia. The article enriches the discourse on Asian Christian history by presenting a fresh perspective on cross-cultural faith transmission.

Technology has undoubtedly revolutionized the way we learn and acquire knowledge. In recent years, there has been a significant shift towards integrating technology into educational practices, with the aim of enhancing the learning experience for students. This transformation has sparked a debate among educators and researchers about the implications of this shift on the traditional methods of teaching and learning. Some argue that technology has the potential to democratize education and provide equal opportunities for all learners, while others express concerns about the impact of digital distractions and the loss of face-to-face interaction. Through the lens of post-positivism, criticality, and constructivism theory, this critical analysis aims to explore the complexities of the transformation of learning with technology. By examining the underlying assumptions and implications of integrating technology into education, we can gain a deeper understanding of how it may shape the future of learning. This analysis will delve into the various perspectives and theories surrounding the use of technology in education, considering both the benefits and drawbacks. Through a balanced examination of the evidence, we hope to uncover the key factors that will determine the success of technology in shaping the future of learning. Ultimately, the goal is to provide insights that will guide educators and policymakers in making informed decisions about integrating technology into educational practices.

Social interaction between Muslims and non-Muslims is an important theme in communal life. The Qur'an provides clear guidance on how Muslims should interact with people of different faiths. Based on the interpretations of scholars such as M. Quraish Shihab, Hamka, Imam al-Razi, Ahmad Mushthafa al-Maraghi, and Dr. Aidh Qarny, social interaction between Muslims and non-Muslims should be based on the principles of mutual respect, kindness, and fairness. Qur'anic verses such as Surah Al-Mumtahanah 8, Surah Al-Hujurat 13, and Surah Al-Ankabut 46 emphasize the importance of maintaining good relations without coercion in belief and avoiding hateful debates, especially against the unjust. Islam teaches that debates conducted in a good and wise manner will strengthen interfaith relationships and bring people closer to the truth. In this context, Islam emphasizes the importance of maintaining good character in all forms of social interaction to foster peace and harmony in society.

This article discusses the concept of social interaction in Islam, particularly in the context of relationships between Muslims and non-Muslims. Islam teaches values of ukhuwah (brotherhood), tolerance, and justice in interactions with fellow human beings, both within Muslim communities and with those of different beliefs. The central principle taught in Islam is that there is no compulsion in religion (la ikraha fid-din), as religion is a personal choice and belief that cannot be forced. In the context of dialogue or debate with non-Muslims, Islam emphasizes the importance of good manners, politeness, and gentleness, so that debates or discussions can lead to the mutual discovery of truth without insulting or belittling others. Thabathabai’s interpretation explains that debating with non-Muslims should be done constructively, without containing any errors, flaws, or insults. However, debating with the unjust, who close themselves off from the truth, is considered unproductive and will only worsen the situation. This article also highlights that differences in religion, culture, and beliefs should be an opportunity for mutual understanding and cooperation in creating peace and well-being together. Islam teaches the importance of maintaining harmonious relationships with fellow humans, whether in social, political, or religious contexts, while respecting freedom of belief and personal integrity

the impact of multinational corporations (MNCs) in influencing the sources of international law. MNCs play a significant role in the global economy, especially in developing countries, which require foreign investment. The existence of MNCs contributes to the formation and amendment of international treaties, even though these companies are not directly recognized as subjects of international law. The sources of international law evolve over time, including international treaties, international custom, court decisions, as well as scholarly teachings. While MNCs do not have the capacity to litigate in the International Court of Justice, they can play a role in international arbitration and influence the legal policies of the countries in which they operate. The influence of MNCs on the economies of developing countries often leads to the inability of those countries to enforce national laws, due to fears of loss of investment. Therefore, while there is debate over the status of MNCs in international law, they still have a major impact in shaping and influencing the rules of international law through economic cooperation and international treaties.

Various economic systems, including Islamic ones, have debated usury in financial transactions. Because it is considered detrimental to one of the parties and contrary to the principles of justice, usury, which literally means unfair additions or profits in transactions, is prohibited in Islam. By referring to primary sources such as the Qur'an and Hadith, as well as the opinions of fiqh scholars, this research aims to study the Islamic perspective on the use of riba in recording financial transactions. Understanding the use of usury in recording financial transactions is the main objective of this research. The research results show that Islam emphasizes the prohibition of usury in recording financial transactions and encourages the use of a financial system that is based on the principles of balance, transparency and mutual benefit. Apart from that, this research also discusses alternative efforts that can be used by the Islamic financial system to replace the practice of usury, such as the application of fairer principles for results (mudharabah) and buying and selling (murabahah). Thus, the Islamic financial system can stop the practice of usury.

Mahram is an important issue in Islam because it can influence behavior, halal and haram. Furthermore, mahram is a wise decision of Allah SWT and also the perfection of this religion which regulates every aspect of life. So, it is important for us to know who is included in the list of mahrams and what their rights are. Furthermore, Mahram also touched on the issue of inter-tribal marriages. The question is whether this can be considered contrary to the existence of Mahram. This issue is still debated by many religious experts and many different sectarian groups have emerged and punished each other by prohibiting inter-tribal marriages. In short, the author emphasizes that this problem is not included in the daruriyyat but only in the hajiyyat category. In other words we can say that inter-tribal marriages are permitted in Islam.

The topic of marrying women who conceive before marriage continues to spark debate in Islamic law, with diverse viewpoints across Muslim communities. Lack of awareness about Islamic rules and governmental policies frequently results in unions that defy both sharia teachings and applicable laws. This piece explores Islamic fiqh opinions on the marriage of unmarried pregnant women and evaluates how this is applied in marriage services at the Religious Affairs Office in Medan Timur District. The study adopts a qualitative framework using juridical-normative and empirical methods. Data was obtained by reviewing fiqh literature, legal regulations, and conducting interviews with KUA officials. The research reveals that ulama hold differing views on the acceptability of marrying a woman pregnant due to adultery, especially concerning the marriage ceremony timing and the child's familial status. Practically, the Medan Timur KUA follows guidelines from the Islamic Law Compilation and state administrative norms, all while exercising prudence. This investigation is intended to provide clearer insights for the public and act as a benchmark for Islamic law professionals facing similar scenarios.

Euthanasia, or "good death," is a controversial practice and has sparked debate in many parts of the world. In a medical context, euthanasia refers to the act of ending a person's life to reduce suffering due to terminal illness or incurable medical conditions. In Indonesia, where the majority of the population is Muslim, this issue has become very relevant to the view of Islamic law which emphasizes the importance of preserving life as a gift from Allah. According to this view, euthanasia is contrary to the basic principles of Islam that value life and affirm that only Allah has the right to determine a person's death. On the other hand, the medical code of ethics puts forward the principles of non-maleficence (no harm) and beneficence (doing good), but in terminal cases, this leads to ethical dilemmas in cases where ending the patient's life is considered a way to reduce suffering. The practice also presents challenges in terms of patient autonomy and the obligation of doctors to respect their decisions. In this context, this study aims to explore euthanasia from the perspective of Islamic law and medical ethics, as well as analyze the relationship between these two aspects in the context of Indonesian society and culture, as well as the practical challenges faced by doctors and patients in dealing with this issue.
