The Kei Islands community adheres to the Larvul Ngabal customary law, which governs various aspects of social and economic life. The philosophy of Ain Ni Ain, emphasizing brotherhood and justice, serves as the foundation for Yelim, a mutual aid system for managing social funds within the community. Additionally, the Kei people have implemented cultural accounting practices in recording and managing communal funds, which align with the principles of transparency and accountability in Islamic banking. However, the acceptance of Islamic banking among the Kei people remains a challenge, particularly within a multireligious community. This study is a sociological legal research (Socio-Legal Research) that employs a descriptive qualitative method with an ethnomethodological approach, involving interviews with customary leaders, religious figures, business actors, and the general public. The findings indicate that the values of Ain Ni Ain and Yelim align with Islamic banking principles, particularly in terms of social justice and financial transparency. Moreover, cultural accounting practices in communal fund management reflect an accountability mechanism similar to Islamic accounting standards. Thus, integrating Kei’s indigenous financial system with Islamic banking offers an innovative approach to enhancing financial inclusion in multireligious societies.    

This study examines the sustainability of religious activities at Al-Irsyad Mosque before and after the establishment of the West Sumatra Grand Mosque, as well as the contributing factors from mosque administrators and congregants in maintaining these activities despite the presence of the new mosque. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a fieldwork approach. Data collection techniques include direct observation, in-depth interviews with mosque administrators and congregants, and documentation of religious activities. Data were analyzed through reduction, presentation, and conclusion/verification, with source, technique, and time triangulation employed to ensure data validity.The results indicate that religious activities at Al-Irsyad Mosque continue consistently in various forms, such as congregational prayers, Qur'anic studies, and other religious-social programs. In fact, new services have been added, such as funeral management, which originated from the initiative of the mosque administrators rather than being influenced by the presence of the Grand Mosque. However, a technical disturbance was identified—namely, the disruption of prayer concentration due to overlapping use of loudspeakers (microphones) from the West Sumatra Grand Mosque when activities occur simultaneously.The sustainability of religious activities at Al-Irsyad Mosque is supported by three main factors: effective and visionary leadership, a strong sense of ownership among congregants, and innovative programs tailored to community needs. The firm commitment of the mosque administrators and the active participation of the congregants are key to ensuring the continued role of Al-Irsyad Mosque as a center for religious life amidst external challenges.

The role of women in Christian missions is often overlooked, despite church history and the Bible recording their significant contributions to the spread of the gospel. Mission is a calling for all believers regardless of gender, as stated in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20). This study aims to highlight the role of women in missions from a biblical perspective and its application in today's church. Using a qualitative method based on a literature review, this study analyses various biblical female figures involved in missionary work, such as Mary Magdalene, Lydia, Deborah, Esther, and Priscilla.The results of the study show that biblical women have a wide range of roles in various aspects of spiritual and social life, whether as leaders, prophets, teachers, or supporters of ministry. Women like Deborah and Esther show that women's leadership is not alien to God's plan, while figures like Mary Magdalene and Lydia prove that women also had key roles in the spread of the gospel. In the early church, names like Phoebe and Tryfosa show that women have long been active in ministry. However, to this day, there are still challenges for women in church mission, including restrictive theological interpretations, patriarchal culture, as well as social stigma. Therefore, the church needs to reflect on the role of women in mission by considering an inclusive theological foundation and making more room for their involvement. This study confirms that without the contribution of women, church growth and the spread of the gospel will face greater challenges.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of leadership supervision in efforts to improve the performance quality of Civil Servants (PNS) in the Economic Affairs Section at the Regional Secretariat of Langkat Regency. The research findings indicate that the effectiveness of supervision greatly depends on clear objectives, performance indicators, periodic evaluations, and open communication between leaders and staff.

Despite challenges like limited resources and ineffective communication, solutions such as training, open communication, and technology can improve supervision efficiency. Most PNS show a positive attitude towards management and supervision, although there is still room for improvement in communication and skill development. Going forward, it is expected that supervision will become more structured, technology-based, and communicative to support the achievement of organizational goals more efficiently and enhance public service quality.
