This research is motivated by the low level of student learning engagement, which remains a challenge in education. In class, students often tend to be passive, reluctant to ask questions, and less involved in discussions, resulting in less interactive learning. This study aims to determine the effect of Wordwall-based AI on student learning engagement and to determine the extent of this influence. The method used was quantitative research with a correlational approach. Data were analyzed using the coefficient of determination test. The results showed an R-square value of 0.394, indicating that the use of Wordwall contributed 39.4% to student learning engagement. Meanwhile, 60.6% was influenced by factors outside the research variables. Therefore, the use of Wordwall-based AI can be an alternative learning medium to increase student learning engagement.

The participation of Catholic Youth (OMK) in Church liturgy is essential for supporting the Church’s mission and strengthening the faith of the congregation. In stations where the Eucharist cannot be celebrated every Sunday due to a shortage of priests, the Priestless Service becomes an important form of worship while providing opportunities for lay people, including OMK, to take active roles. However, observations indicate that OMK participation in the Priestless Service at St. Stefanus Kimakamak Station, Sta. Maria Goreti Waiwadan Parish, remains limited. This study aims to describe OMK participation, identify factors influencing their involvement, and formulate strategies to enhance their participation. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed. The participants consisted of ten informants, including four OMK members, the OMK Chairperson, the Station Chairperson, and four congregation members. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that OMK participate as worship leaders, lectors, psalmists, and prayer leaders, although these roles are still dominated by a limited number of active members. Internal factors affecting participation include self-confidence, motivation to serve, faith awareness, and responsibility, while external factors include limited liturgical guidance, digital media influence, and an unsupportive social environment. Participation can be strengthened through liturgical training, faith mentoring, recollections, public speaking training, equal service opportunities, and regular evaluations. Continuous guidance is essential to foster sustainable youth participation and support the regeneration of Church ministers at the station level.

This study describes the readiness of Islamic Education teachers to implement love-based assessment in madrasahs in East Java. The study used a descriptive quantitative survey involving 24 Islamic Education teachers from three madrasahs selected through purposive sampling based on level, location, and institutional status. Data were collected using a 40-item Likert questionnaire covering pedagogical assessment competence, conceptual understanding of love-based assessment, affective readiness, and assessment instrument availability. The instrument showed strong reliability with a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.87, and the data were analyzed using percentages, means, and readiness categories. The findings show that teachers' overall readiness reached 68.7 percent, which falls into the moderately ready category. Urban public madrasahs obtained higher readiness scores than a rural private madrasah, while the availability of affective and spiritual assessment instruments became the weakest dimension. These results imply that love-based assessment in Islamic Education needs systematic professional development, contextual assessment instruments, and stronger institutional support so that cognitive, affective, social, and spiritual learning outcomes can be evaluated more humanely.

Catholic Youth (OMK) is an integral part of the Church that has a strategic role in supporting the sustainability of Church life and ministry. OMK involvement in the liturgy is one form of real participation in realizing the calling as members of the Church. However, based on the phenomenon found at the St. Petrus Pardomuan Nauli Selayang Station, Mary Mother of Eternal Help Parish, Binjai, OMK involvement in liturgical services is still relatively low. This study aims to describe the involvement of Catholic Youth in the liturgy and identify efforts that can be made to increase this involvement. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation techniques involving OMK mentors, station administrators, and OMK members as research informants. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions, while the validity of the data was tested using source triangulation and technical triangulation. The results of the study are expected to provide an overview of the forms of involvement of OMK in liturgical services as lectors, psalmists, and conductors, as well as reveal efforts to increase involvement through catechesis, strengthening friendships, faith accompaniment, and ongoing development.  

The development of digital media has transformed YouTube into one of the most influential platforms for Islamic preaching, shaping public understanding of religious issues, including religious tolerance. This study aims to analyze the representation of religious tolerance, the patterns of tolerance message delivery, and the tendency of interpreting religious tolerance in Felix Siauw’s YouTube content. The research employs a qualitative approach using content analysis of videos discussing interfaith relations and social diversity.The findings reveal that religious tolerance in Felix Siauw’s content is represented as respect for the rights of followers of other religions in social life without compromising the boundaries of Islamic creed (aqidah). Messages of tolerance are conveyed through persuasive narratives supported by Qur’anic verses, Hadith, and scholars’ perspectives, emphasizing the importance of maintaining Islamic identity within a pluralistic society. The study also indicates that the interpretation of tolerance promoted in the content tends to emphasize social tolerance rather than theological tolerance, namely respecting diversity and fostering peaceful coexistence without equating religious beliefs. Therefore, digital Islamic preaching functions not only as a medium for disseminating religious teachings but also as a platform for shaping public understanding of religious tolerance.

This study entitled “The Role of Facilitators in Increasing the Faith of the People through Catechesis Activities at KBG Sta. Elisabeth Homa” aims to describe the implementation of catechetical activities, examine the role of facilitators, and identify the impact of these activities on the faith development of the community. This research employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through interviews and documentation involving facilitators, KBG administrators, and community members participating in catechetical activities. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while source triangulation and member checking were applied to ensure data validity. The findings reveal that catechetical activities are conducted through communal prayer, Scripture reading, material presentation, dialogue, faith sharing, and reflection. Facilitators serve as educators, motivators, faith companions, and facilitators of participation and dialogue. Their contextual and participatory approach helps community members understand Church teachings and apply them in daily life. The activities contribute positively to the development of faith, spirituality, ecclesial involvement, and social awareness among the participants. Therefore, the role of facilitators is essential in supporting the effectiveness of catechesis and strengthening the faith of the people in KBG Sta. Elisabeth Homa.

This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic Religious Counselors in the mental and spiritual empowerment of inmates at the Sukadana Class IIB Detention Center. The study used a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation of religious counselors, prison officers, and inmates. The results indicate that religious counselors play a strategic role as educators, motivators, counselors, and facilitators in religious development.

These activities contribute to increasing religious awareness, inner peace, self-control, and optimism among inmates to improve their lives after release. Supporting factors include cooperation between the Ministry of Religious Affairs and the detention center, while inhibiting factors include limited facilities and low motivation among some inmates. This study concludes that Islamic religious counselors play a crucial role in shaping the mental and spiritual well-being of inmates, thus supporting the success of the social rehabilitation process.

The study of Makkiyyah and Madaniyyah constitutes an essential component of Qur’anic studies, as it is closely related to the historical context, characteristics of revelation, and the understanding of the gradual process of Qur’anic revelation. This article aims to analyze the position of the concepts of Makkiyyah and Madaniyyah within the tradition of Qur’anic codification during the period of the Rightly Guided Caliphs. This study employs a qualitative approach using library research by examining classical and contemporary literature related to the history of Qur’anic codification, Qur’anic sciences, and the preservation of revelation in the early Islamic period. The findings indicate that the concepts of Makkiyyah and Madaniyyah function not merely as classifications based on the place and period of revelation, but also as important instruments for understanding the chronology, social context, and thematic characteristics of the Qur’anic message. During the period of the Rightly Guided Caliphs, particularly in the collection of the Qur’an under Abu Bakr and the standardization of the muṣḥaf under Uthman ibn Affan, the understanding of the arrangement, transmission, and authenticity of Qur’anic verses became an integral part of efforts to preserve the purity of the Qur’an. This study affirms that Makkiyyah and Madaniyyah possess significant historical and methodological relevance for examining the tradition of Qur’anic codification in a more comprehensive manner.

Abstract. Cancel culture in Indonesia reflects a massive collective moral punishment mechanism, yet often overlooks clear data verification principles. This study examines Q.S Al-Hujurat verse 12 using Roland Barthes' Two Order of Signification semiotic approach. The verse contains prohibitions against zann (prejudice), tajassus (spying/fault-finding), and ghibah (backbiting) to safeguard human dignity, especially in the digital era. This qualitative library research uses semiotic analysis to highlight denotative and connotative meanings, which ultimately give rise to myths. The results indicate that at the denotative level, the sacred text serves as basic moral regulation. At the connotative level, it shifts into digital persecution due to massive zann, tajassus, and ghibah in digital spaces. The culmination is the formation of the 'netizens as absolute enforcers of justice' myth, normalizing simbolyc violence under the guise of nahi munkar.  Abstrak. Cancel culture di Indonesia mencerminkan mekanisme penghukuman moral kolektif yang massif, namun sering mengabaikan prinsip verifikasi data secara jelas. Penelitian ini mengkaji Q.S Al-Hujurat ayat 12 menggunakan pendekatan semiotika Two Order of Signification yang dikembangkan oleh Roland Barthes. Ayat tersebut berisi larangan zann (berprasangka), tajassus (mencari kesalahan/aib), dan ghibah (menggunjing) sebagai penjagaan terhadap martabat manusia, khususnya di era digital. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian kepustakaan (library research) dan analisis semiotika yang menyoroti makna denotatif dan konotatif yang pada akhirnya melahirkan mitos. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pada level makna denotasi, teks suci merupakan bagian dari regulasi moral dasar. Pada makna konotasi, teks suci bergeser menjadi persekusi digital adanya zann, tajassus, dan ghibah yang massif dilakukan dalam ruang digital. Puncaknya adalah terbentuknya mitos “netizen sebagai penegak keadilan absolut” yang banyak menormalisasikan kekerasan simbolik dibalik narasi nahi munkar.
