This study was conducted under the title “Development of Indonesian Language Learning Media Based on Animated Videos for Grade VII MTs Swasta Darul Ulum Budi Agung Descriptive Text Material,” which was motivated by low student motivation and understanding of descriptive text lessons. This situation occurred because attractive and interactive learning media were rarely used, causing students to tend to be passive in the learning process. The research methodology employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE development model, which includes Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The research population consisted of students at Darul Ulum Budi Agung Private Islamic Junior High School, with a sample size of 30 students in the experimental group and 30 students in the control group. Data collection was conducted using interviews, tests, and questionnaires. Validation was provided by experts in the fields of content, media, and language. This study shows that the use of educational media in the form of animated videos falls under the category of highly suitable for use, both in terms of content and presentation. This media is capable of enhancing students' learning motivation, clarifying their understanding of descriptive text concepts, and creating a more engaging and interactive learning environment. In other words, the use of animated videos can serve as an innovative solution as a learning medium for Indonesian language, particularly descriptive text material, to improve the quality of education at MTs Swasta Darul Ulum Budi Agung.

This research aims to analyze the physical and mental elements in the poems "Aku Kangen 1", "Aku Kangen 2", "Aku Kangen 3" and "Waiting for Flowers" by Heri Isnaini which are contained in the anthology Montase: Serpihan Srêm published by Pustaka Humaniora. The physical elements of poetry include diction, rhythm, imagery, and grammar, while the inner elements include themes, tone, atmosphere, and mandates. This study applies a structural approach with a qualitative descriptive method, which focuses on text analysis as the main focus. The results of the analysis show that these poems use simple but highly emotionally charged language, as well as visual imagery and deep feelings in describing longing and waiting. Certain typography and repetition structures reinforce the dramatic effect and musicality of the poem. From the inner side, the main themes that emerge are longing, loneliness, and hope for encounters, which are conveyed in a melancholy tone and a calm, reflective atmosphere. The implied message encourages the reader to reflect on the meaning of presence, loss, and hope in everyday life. This research confirms Heri Isnaini's ability to unite form and meaning poetically, as well as his contribution to contemporary Indonesian poetry.

Mahar mitsil is a mahar that is not determined at the time of the marriage contract, but is adjusted to the value usually received by the wife's family. This study aims to examine the opinions of the imams of the madhhab regarding mahar mitsil not being a condition for kafa'ah. This study discusses how to apply mahar mitsil so that it does not become a condition for kafa'ah. The research method in this article is empirical juridical.

Indonesian language instruction in elementary schools aims to improve students' oral and written communication. Indonesian serves as a primary tool for students to hone their language skills correctly and effectively. Reading skills in elementary school are divided into two phases: initial reading (lower grades) and further reading (upper grades). Initial reading skills influence students' readiness before entering the next learning stage. However, second-grade elementary school students often face difficulties in developing initial reading and writing skills. Factors such as socio-economic background, gender, and teaching methods used by teachers can affect the success of literacy programs. By considering these factors, we can improve students' literacy skills at the beginning level.
