Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) are no longer viewed solely as religious educational institutions but also as socio-economic entities that play a strategic role in community empowerment and the development of the Islamic economy. The emergence of various pesantren business units, including Islamic cooperatives, Islamic microfinance institutions, agribusinesses, and service enterprises, reflects the transformation of pesantren into productive and economically independent institutions. However, many pesantren continue to face challenges in achieving economic sustainability, including weak governance systems, limited managerial professionalism, inadequate human resources, and excessive dependence on charismatic leadership. This study aims to develop a conceptual model of pesantren business governance based on Islamic governance principles to achieve institutional economic sustainability. Using a qualitative approach and library research method, this study analyzes relevant literature on pesantren economics, Islamic governance, sustainability, and risk management. The findings indicate that sustainable pesantren economic development requires the integration of Islamic governance values, namely amanah (trustworthiness), transparency, justice, and maslahah (public benefit), with modern management systems and comprehensive risk management practices. The study proposes a conceptual governance framework linking pesantren resources, sharia governance, professional management, and risk mitigation as key determinants of economic independence and institutional sustainability. This framework is expected to provide strategic guidance for strengthening pesantren-based economic development in a sustainable and socially beneficial manner.

The development of digital technology has driven significant economic transformation in various countries, including Muslim countries. Economic digitalization offers various opportunities, such as increased transaction efficiency, expanded market access, and strengthened financial inclusion. However, this development also presents various challenges, such as low Islamic financial literacy, the risk of technology misuse, and the emergence of economic practices inconsistent with Islamic principles. This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic economic values ​​in supporting the economic resilience of communities in Muslim countries in the digital era. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with library research methods. Data were obtained from various literature sources, such as scientific journals, books, academic articles, and reports relevant to Islamic economics, economic resilience, and the digital economy for the 2021–2026 period. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis techniques through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that Islamic economic values, such as justice, honesty, trustworthiness, and the prohibition of riba (usury), gharar (gharar), and maysir (gambling), play a crucial role in creating more transparent, ethical, and sustainable digital economic activities. Furthermore, the development of Sharia-compliant fintech, Sharia-compliant digital financial services, and Sharia-compliant business platforms also supports increased financial inclusion and community economic resilience. Therefore, integrating digital technology and Islamic economic values ​​can be a strategy for strengthening the economic resilience of communities in Muslim countries.

The crisis of student morality and etiquette in higher education institutions has become an increasingly concerning phenomenon in the modern era. Social changes, the rapid development of digital technology, and the weakening The crisis of student morality and etiquette in higher education institutions has become an increasingly concerning phenomenon in the modern era. Social changes, the rapid development of digital technology, and the weakening internalization of religious values have contributed to a decline in students' moral character, which is reflected in poor communication ethics, lack of respect for lecturers, plagiarism practices, individualistic attitudes, and weak academic responsibility. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Islamic values in addressing the crisis of student etiquette at UIN Walisongo Semarang. The research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method through literature review, observation, and data collection from various scientific journals. The findings indicate that the implementation of Islamic values, such as akhlaq al-karimah (noble character), trustworthiness (amanah), discipline, Islamic brotherhood (ukhuwah Islamiyah), and responsibility, can serve as effective solutions in developing students' religious and ethical character. These values are implemented through spiritual development programs, an Islamic academic culture, lecturers' role modeling, Islamic student organization activities, and character education based on Islamic principles. This study emphasizes that the integration of Islamic values into the campus education system constitutes a strategic step in shaping a generation of Muslim intellectuals who excel not only academically but also possess strong morality and ethical conduct.

Data analysis is a fundamental stage in educational research because it determines the validity, credibility, and quality of research findings. The different philosophical paradigms underlying qualitative and quantitative approaches require distinct concepts, procedures, and analytical techniques. This study aims to examine the concepts, procedures, and implementation of data analysis in educational research using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. A literature review method was employed by analyzing books, scientific journal articles, and other relevant academic references related to educational research methodology. The findings indicate that qualitative data analysis emphasizes an interactive and iterative process involving data reduction, data display, conclusion drawing, and verification to produce credible and meaningful interpretations. In contrast, quantitative data analysis relies on systematic statistical procedures, including descriptive and inferential analyses, to test hypotheses, identify relationships among variables, and support objective decision-making. Although both approaches differ in their analytical orientation and techniques, they share the need for systematic, objective, valid, and rigorous procedures to ensure the accuracy and trustworthiness of research findings. Understanding these differences enables researchers to select analytical methods that are appropriate to their research objectives, designs, and data characteristics. This study contributes to a broader understanding of educational research methodology and provides practical guidance for researchers, educators, and university students in implementing effective and appropriate data analysis techniques.

As the oldest Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia, Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) play a crucial role in shaping the character, morals, and intellect of the community, thus ensuring leadership is a key factor in maintaining the institution's sustainability and development. This study aims to analyze the characteristics and development of Islamic educational leadership in the history of Islamic boarding schools in the archipelago. The method used is qualitative research with a literature study approach through the review of various books, journals, and relevant scientific sources. The results of the study indicate that Islamic boarding school leadership was initially dominated by the charismatic, religious, and exemplary leadership style of the kiai. Over time, this style has transformed into a more adaptive and professional leadership style without abandoning Islamic values, such as trustworthiness, deliberation, sincerity, and exemplary behavior. The leadership of the kiai remains a central element in the management of Islamic boarding schools and plays a role in maintaining the balance between tradition and modernization. The implications of this study indicate that the pesantren leadership model, which integrates religious, social, and managerial values, is highly relevant in facing contemporary educational challenges and supporting the sustainable development of Islamic educational institutions.

The fiqh principle stating that a leader’s policies and actions toward the people must be based on public welfare is an Islamic legal principle emphasizing that every action and policy of a leader should be oriented toward the interests and well-being of society. This study aims to examine the meaning, normative foundations, concepts, and implementation of this principle in state governance. The research employs a library research method with a normative approach through the analysis of the Qur’an, Hadith, fiqh literature, scholarly journals, and relevant legislation. The findings indicate that this principle has a strong foundation in the Qur’an and Hadith, particularly regarding trustworthiness, justice, and the responsibility of leaders toward their people. Conceptually, this principle is closely related to the theories of maqashid al-shari’ah and siyasah shar’iyyah, which place public welfare as the primary objective of Islamic law. In practice, the principle is applied in various fields, including public administration, law and legislation, religious policies, as well as economic and fiscal policies. Its implementation can be seen in policies concerning the prohibition of interfaith marriage, marriage dispensation, marriage legalization hearings (isbat), the suspension of Hajj departures during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the management of state finances during the era of the Rightly Guided Caliphs. Therefore, this principle demonstrates that Islamic law possesses flexible and adaptive characteristics while maintaining a strong orientation toward public welfare, making it relevant to modern systems of governance.

This study aims to examine the position of Pancasila as a grundnorm within the Indonesian constitutional system and the role of Islamic Religious Education as an ethical foundation in strengthening constitutional principles from the perspective of Islamic sociological legal theory. The methodology employed is a qualitative approach using library research, involving the analysis of various relevant literature sources. The findings indicate that Pancasila plays a fundamental role in the Indonesian legal system, serving as the highest norm in the hierarchy of laws, while also functioning as an ethical guideline in the life of the nation and the state. Islamic Religious Education plays a significant role in shaping the moral constitution through the understanding of values such as honesty, justice, responsibility, and trustworthiness, in line with the principles of Pancasila. The integration of Pancasila values and Islamic teachings, viewed through the lens of sociological law, demonstrates that effective law is not merely normative but also responsive to social realities. Therefore, Islamic sociological legal theory can strengthen the Indonesian constitutional system through the integration of normative, moral, and sociological values, resulting in a more responsive, just, and contextually relevant legal system.

Student cooperatives in Islamic boarding schools are no longer merely understood as business units providing daily necessities, but have developed into socio-economic spaces that shape independence, trust, and Islamic entrepreneurship education among students. This study is motivated by the limited number of studies examining pesantren cooperatives as socio-religious processes that cultivate values of trustworthiness, responsibility, transparency, and cooperation in students’ daily lives. The study aims to explain the empirical practices of student involvement in cooperative management, the social relations formed through economic activities in pesantren, and their implications for Islamic entrepreneurship education and the strengthening of pesantren economic independence. This research employed a qualitative approach with a field study method conducted at Pondok Pesantren Modern Elfira 2 Purwokerto. Data were collected through observation, interviews with cooperative administrators and student managers, and documentation of financial reports and cooperative operational activities. The findings reveal that students are directly involved in managing goods inventory, customer service, digital financial recording, and the distribution of daily necessities within the pesantren environment. These practices foster values of trustworthiness, transparency, responsibility, and cooperation through supervision systems, work shift arrangements, and daily evaluations. In addition to strengthening the pesantren’s economy, the cooperative also functions as a medium for experiential Islamic entrepreneurship learning. This article contributes to the sociology of Islamic education by demonstrating that student cooperatives function as socio-economic laboratories that shape students’ independence, social trust, and Islamic entrepreneurial ethics within the everyday life of pesantren communities.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the e-SIDAK application as a tool for recording and evaluating the performance of civil servants at BKPSDM Belitung Regency. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with 12 purposively selected informants, including managers, administrators, and application users. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed thematically using NVivo 12 Pro based on the digital service effectiveness indicators proposed by Pedrosa et al., namely ease of use, simplicity, understandability, consistency, trustworthiness, availability, speed, and usefulness. The findings indicate that the e-SIDAK application fulfills most effectiveness indicators, particularly in terms of ease of use, process simplicity, clarity of information, interface consistency, and service usefulness. The application facilitates systematic work activity recording, simplifies reporting, improves employee discipline, and supports performance monitoring integrated with the employee performance allowance system. However, its effectiveness remains limited in terms of system reliability, service availability, and access speed due to server capacity constraints, network conditions, and the accumulation of data input at the end of reporting periods. In addition, the point-based evaluation system has not fully reflected task duration, complexity, and workload. This study recommends strengthening system infrastructure, developing user guidelines, regulating input timing, and improving the point-based evaluation system to enhance digital service effectiveness in local government institutions.

The food and beverage industry in Indonesia is growing rapidly through digital marketing, particularly through the role of influencers in influencing consumer preferences and purchase intentions. Several influencers are no longer merely collaborating with brands, but are also becoming business owners by leveraging their personal branding and follower base. However, when promoting their own products, the effectiveness of these strategies on purchase intentions is not always consistent. This study aims to examine the influence of the Theory of Planned Behaviour on purchase intention and analyse the role of Parasocial Relationship through influencer authenticity and influencer trustworthiness in regional cuisine at RM Padang Payakumbuah. The research uses a quantitative approach with data from 182 respondents in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, analysed using PLS-SEM. The results show that attitude and influencer authenticity do not have a significant effect on purchase intention, while subjective norm and perceived behavioural control have a significant effect. Furthermore, influencer trustworthiness strengthens the relationship between perceived behavioural control and purchase intention. These findings emphasise the importance of social recommendations, ease of purchase access, and building trust towards influencers.

The development of the retail sector has created a highly competitive environment that demands human resource management (HRM) to be professional, efficient, and service oriented. However, conventional management practices that focus solely on short-ter efficiency and profit often overlook moral and spiritual values. This paper aims to analyze the implementation of Sharia principles in human resource management within the retail industry, including the principles of justice (adl), trustworthiness (amanah), excellence (ihsan), responsibility(mas’uliyyah), and transparency. This study employs a qualitative approach with literature review as the primary method, using data from books, academic journals, scholarly articles, and official documents related to HRM and Sharia principles. Data analysis techniques include descriptive, comparative, and content analysis, enabling the identification of patterns in implementing Sharia principles in HRM functions such as recruitment, training, performance appraisal, compensation, and internal supervision. The findings indicate that applying Sharia principles provides not only a normative foundation for management practices but also cultivates an ethical, professional, and sustainable organizational culture. Integrating justice, trustworthiness, excellence, responsibility, and transparency in retail HRM enhances service quality, builds public trust, and supports business sustainability. Therefore, the integration of Sharia values into modern management contributes significantly both academically and practically, serving as a guideline for retail managers to develop HRM systems that are fair, effective, and morally grounded.

This community service program aims to empower students. The lack of digital business literacy and knowledge about Islamic entrepreneurship in Islamic-based schools, as well as the application of sharia business principles, are the main drivers of this program. The activity implementation technique uses the Participatory Action Research (PAR) methodology. Problem identification, needs analysis, preparation of materials and instruments, pre-testing, training in Islamic business ethics and entrepreneurship theory, digital business practices, mentoring, post-testing, and program evaluation are some of the steps included in the activity. A total of 60 12th-grade students and ten instructors participated in this activity. The results showed that students' knowledge of sharia-based digital business, digital marketing skills, and entrepreneurial drive all increased. Student interest in starting a business increased by 78%, and participants' understanding of digital literacy increased by 85%. Furthermore, the program successfully instilled the ideals of Islamic entrepreneurship, such as accountability, honesty, and trustworthiness, as well as the prohibition of usury in digital business operations. In addition to encouraging the development of an Islamic digital business community within the educational environment, this community service program helps students develop personalities with noble morals, creativity, and adaptability.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of sharia management functions in the administration and financial management of student affairs at Imam Syafi’i Islamic Boarding School (Pondok Pesantren Imam Syafi’i) in Brebes. Islamic boarding schools play an important role not only in developing students’ religious knowledge and character but also in managing administrative and financial systems that support educational activities. In the perspective of sharia management, organizational management should be carried out based on the main management functions, namely planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling, while also adhering to Islamic values such as trustworthiness (amanah), transparency, and accountability. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation during the PIAWAI Internship Program of the Sharia Management Study Program in 2025. The results show that the administration and financial management of student affairs at Imam Syafi’i Islamic Boarding School have implemented management functions systematically, starting from activity and budget planning, task distribution among student affairs administrators, implementation of administrative processes and financial recording, to supervision and evaluation of financial reports. In addition, the management practices also reflect sharia management principles through the application of trust, accountability, and transparency in managing students’ activity funds. Therefore, the implementation of sharia management functions in administration and financial management contributes to improving the effectiveness of pesantren activities and strengthening governance in Islamic educational institutions.

This study aims to explore employees’ work experiences related to work-life balance and compensation in shaping employee performance at CV. Sepanjang Masa (Masa Kreatif), a social media agency located in Makassar. A qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical field design was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, passive participant observation, and documentation involving 11 informants from both management and creative teams. Data analysis followed processes of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with trustworthiness ensured through triangulation techniques. The findings reveal that employees’ work-life balance experiences are dynamic and heterogeneous. Work flexibility provides opportunities for personal time management; however, rapid response demands and intensive content production blur the boundaries between work and personal life. A supportive, communicative, and collaborative work environment acts as a protective factor that mitigates work pressure and fosters creativity. Compensation is perceived not only as financial remuneration but also as a symbol of recognition, professional development opportunities, and organizational appreciation, although gaps remain between employee expectations and organizational capacity. Integratively, work-life balance, work environment, and compensation constitute interconnected work experiences influencing employee engagement and performance within the digital creative industry.

Service quality is a critical issue faced by service providers, as it plays a significant role in shaping customer satisfaction and maintaining customer trust for future services. A decline in service quality over time may negatively affect customers’ perceptions and loyalty. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effect of service quality dimensions on customer satisfaction. This research employed a quantitative approach using primary data collected through a survey method. The sampling technique used was probability sampling with a random sampling method, involving 98 customers as research respondents. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 24. The service quality dimensions analyzed in this study were Tangible, Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance, and Empathy. The results of the analysis revealed that Tangible and Responsiveness did not have a significant effect on customer satisfaction. In contrast, Reliability, Assurance, and Empathy were found to have a significant positive influence on customer satisfaction. These findings indicate that customers place greater importance on service accuracy, employee competence, trustworthiness, and personal attention. Therefore, service providers are encouraged to prioritize improvements in Reliability, Assurance, and Empathy to enhance customer satisfaction and sustain long-term customer relationships.

Hypertension is a major non-communicable disease burden in rural Acehnese communities. Family support plays a critical role in long-term blood pressure control; however, the lived experiences of families caring for hypertensive members in Posbindu PTM settings remain underexplored. This study aimed to explore the meaning and forms of family role and social support in hypertension management among Posbindu PTM participants in Meunasah Timu Village, Aceh. Methods: A descriptive phenomenological design using Colaizzi's method was employed. Twelve family members of hypertensive patients were recruited purposively from Posbindu PTM, Desa Meunasah Timu. In-depth face-to-face interviews were conducted until data saturation. Trustworthiness was ensured through member checking, peer debriefing, and audit trail. Results: Three themes emerged: (1) Emotional and instrumental family support as a cornerstone of hypertension control; (2) Cultural and religious values as mediators of caregiving behavior; and (3) Barriers to consistent family involvement including knowledge deficits and caregiving fatigue. Conclusion: Family support is multidimensional and culturally embedded in hypertension management. Community health nurses and Posbindu PTM programs should integrate family-centered interventions that address knowledge gaps and caregiver well-being to optimize blood pressure control outcomes.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a strategic role in economic development; however, their competitiveness is often constrained by weak branding and limited digital marketing capabilities. This community engagement program aimed to strengthen brand identity and digital capacity of the “Pukle” catfish cracker MSME in Karangsuwung Village, Cirebon Regency, through an integrated branding and sharia-based digital marketing approach. A participatory–collaborative method was employed, consisting of needs assessment, Workshops, technical mentoring, and monitoring and evaluation. The interventions included the development of brand identity elements (logo, tagline, and visual guidelines), improvement of informative packaging, activation and optimization of WhatsApp Business, and utilization of TikTok Shop as a social commerce channel. In addition, a standard operating procedure for sharia-compliant digital content based on the principles of shiddiq (truthfulness), amanah (trustworthiness), fathanah (competence), and tabligh (communicativeness) was formulated to enhance consumer trust. The results indicate improvements in product professionalism, digital channel management, content consistency, and customer interaction. The integration of branding and sharia digital marketing proved relevant in building differentiation, expanding market access, and strengthening long-term business reputation. The program highlights that MSME digital transformation requires capacity building, continuous mentoring, and ethical value integration to ensure sustainable competitiveness.

Corruption remains a systemic challenge in Indonesia, particularly in the administration of government grant funding, undermining public trust, institutional integrity, and sustainable development. Despite the establishment of the Corruption Eradication Commission (Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi, KPK) and other specialized bodies, law enforcement continues to face institutional, political, and cultural barriers. This study explores how Islamic criminal law can strengthen anti-corruption strategies by integrating empirical legal practices with normative religious principles. Using a normative-empirical socio-legal approach, the research combines case studies of KPK’s enforcement processes with doctrinal analysis of fiqh jināyah. Data were collected through legal document analysis, policy reviews, and qualitative evaluations of institutional reports and court rulings. Findings indicate that Islamic legal concepts such as khiyānah (breach of trust), ghulūl (misappropriation of public assets), amānah (trustworthiness), ʿadl (justice), and maṣlaḥah (public interest) provide a strong ethical foundation that complements positive law enforcement. While KPK has demonstrated effectiveness in investigation, prosecution, and prevention, its performance is constrained by political pressure, regulatory gaps, and limited resources. The study concludes that embedding Islamic ethical principles into governance, legal education, and public administration can enhance institutional accountability, reinforce preventive measures, and cultivate a culture of integrity. This normative convergence advances socio-legal pluralism and offers practical insights for value-based anti-corruption policy in Indonesia.
