Arabic language proficiency, a key element in Islamic religious education, requires adequate learning resources. One innovation that contributes to the learning process is the use of a digital Arabic-Indonesian dictionary. This study aims to identify the extent to which students utilize digital dictionaries and their impact on Arabic language learning. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach through data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. Participants included students enrolled in the Arabic Language Education study program from the 2010 intake, lecturers teaching Arabic, and data on the use of digital dictionary applications. The study findings indicate that most students prefer using digital dictionaries due to their ease of access and comprehensive features, such as instant word search and examples of word usage in context. Students perceive digital dictionaries as more practical and efficient, especially for quickly searching for word meanings, which is very helpful in the intensive Arabic language learning process. However, several obstacles also arise, including low digital literacy among some students and limited internet access in some locations. On the other hand, lecturers at the Al-Zaytun Islamic Institute in Indonesia continue to encourage the use of printed dictionaries to train students' accuracy in searching for meanings, especially so that they do not rely solely on technology. Overall, the use of digital dictionaries has been proven to positively contribute to improving Arabic comprehension and sentence structure, making them an effective and relevant alternative learning resource in the digital age. The use of digital Arabic-Indonesian dictionaries also makes it easier for students to learn technical terms frequently used in academic and religious texts.

MSMEs play a strategic role in supporting the growth and stability of the national economy (Endra et al., 2024), especially in the culinary sector which continues to grow. However, a fundamental problem commonly experienced by MSMEs is the ability to create visually attractive and professional promotional elements. One example is BentoDay, a food business in West Jakarta, which still relies on simple visual promotions through social media without optimal content packaging. This activity aims to develop the digital promotional capacity of participants through program mentoring and training that focuses on creating logos and product catalogs using the Canva application, a digital tool used for easy-to-use visual design purposes that allows even beginners to create posters, banners and social media content (Akbar et al., n.d.). Initial observations, direct training, intensive mentoring, and evaluation of participants' design results are part of the mentoring activity approach. The results of the activity implementation illustrate that participants have the ability to independently produce promotional materials, such as business logos and product catalogs with more attractive and consistent designs. This training not only improves participants' design skills but also has a positive impact on the digital marketing strategy of culinary businesses. MSMEs can improve their competitiveness and increase sales by implementing better design. This approach demonstrates the importance of acquiring digital skills for MSMEs to strengthen their brand identity and expand their consumer reach (Andari, N., Sari, D.P., & Hidayat, 2025). Therefore, using Canva has proven useful for enhancing the competitiveness of MSME digital promotions.

This study aims to reveal and describe the learning strategy of Fiqh subjects in Datarbungur Elementary Madrasah. The main focus of the study covers three important aspects, namely the scope of Fiqh subject matter, the learning implementation process, and the achievement of student learning outcomes. The approach used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and documentation, as well as data presentation supplemented with critical analysis. The results of the study indicate that the Fiqh learning strategy in Datarbungur Elementary Madrasah has been implemented well and efficiently. This is shown through several main indicators: first, Fiqh material covers the affective, cognitive, and psychomotor domains in a balanced and integrated manner; second, the learning process applies a constructivist approach that is able to increase active student participation and encourage deep understanding; third, student learning outcomes are classified as good because learning is carried out contextually and based on problem solving, relevant to students' experiences and daily lives.

This study is motivated by the continued dominance of lecture-based and drill methods in Fiqh learning, which results in low student interest and enthusiasm. This contradicts the demands of the 2013 Curriculum, which emphasizes student activeness and critical thinking. Therefore, a more effective and efficient learning model is needed. The purpose of this study is to describe the implementation of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model in improving students' understanding of Fiqh material at MTs Nurul Hidayah. This research uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the CTL model has been quite effective. This can be seen from the active involvement of students in the learning process through activities such as observing, discussing, working in groups, and connecting the material with real-life experiences. Learning through the CTL approach makes the process more meaningful and contextual, enabling students to gain a deeper and longer-lasting understanding of the Fiqh material.
 

Teachers not only educate and deliver content during teaching and learning activities, but they also conduct student assessments, which is a crucial component of the teacher's learning process. An affective evaluation considers behavioral traits such as attitudes, feelings, emotions, interests, and values. Affective assessment implementation has been described as tough and complicated when compared to other domain evaluations. The purpose of this study is to identify the elements that impact instructors' challenges in recognizing the application of emotional evaluations. This study employs a qualitative technique, which is a means for gathering in-depth, meaningful data. Because meaning is actual data, concrete data, and there is worth beneath the visible facts. In teaching and learning activities, teachers not only teach and provide material, but also carry out an assessment process for students, which is an important component in the teacher's learning process. The research results show that teachers as informants in this research do not fully understand the instruments and measuring tools used to carry out affective assessments in schools, which results in the emergence of various forms of difficulties felt by teachers when carrying out affective assessments.

Determining a monodisciplinary strategy for the advancement of science and its use in scientific integration is the aim of this research. This research uses a certain type of library research. To conduct descriptive research, researchers use words and not lists of data. These words can basically provide a general overview or explain current problems and their solutions. Content analysis is the data analysis method used, and places high priority on explaining the content of various existing propositions that arise from various theories and previous analyzes carried out by other researchers. The research findings show that a monodisciplinary approach is an approach whose foundation is solely on the scientific subject in question, without merging or combining it with other scientific fields. All sciences operate under monodisciplinary supervision, support, and motivation. Monodisciplinarity itself regulates scientific research and theoretical conclusions.   A narrowly focused approach to science will result in a narrow view of religion and an interpretation of religion that has nothing to do with the research environment. The urgency of this interdisciplinary study is achieved by creating a paradigm that needs to be implanted in society by: Switching from a format based on formalism to a substantive format, changing universalism from exclusivism, research, study, and improvements both internal and external (inside and outside).

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.

In the Islamic perspective, leadership is a mandate and responsibility that must be held accountable in front of those who are led and Allah SWT. Leadership responsibilities in Islam are not only horizontal between fellow humans, but also vertical to Allah SWT. The purpose of this research is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the concept of leadership in Islam by analyzing various verses of the Qur'an and relevant hadith. This research is included in the category of library research, because it analyzes documents and sources of information related to what is being researched. While the method used is a comparative method, which is a method that compares various data, theories, or concepts from different sources to find relevant equations, differences, or patterns. From the results of this study, it can be explained that the concept of leadership in Islam based on the Qur'an includes three main principles: humans as caliphs, the principle of faith, and ulil amri. Meanwhile, the concept of leadership in the Prophet's hadith describes various characteristics that a leader must have, including leadership spirit, professionalism, ability to carry out duties, conformity with the aspirations of the people, and involvement in deliberation.

The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of formal leaders in formal Islamic educational institutions. Formal leaders in formal Islamic education institutions are individuals who give commands or influence subordinates to carry out activities in accordance with established procedures and methods in order to achieve common goals. The method used is library research and content analysis with a qualitative approach. Library research is research carried out by reviewing various journals, books and other relevant references. The research results show that formal leadership in formal Islamic education institutions has a very large role in improving institutional performance in various aspects. There are five dimensions of leadership which include (1) leadership goals, (2) individuals who influence the group (3) individuals who are influenced, (4) interaction processes, and (5) situations where leadership takes place. The most basic types or styles of leadership are authoritarian leadership, democratic leadership and laissez faire leadership. Formal institutions consist of institutions established by the government and non-governmental organizations. Leaders of these institutions are required to have 2 competencies, namely core competencies (soft skills) and technical-knowledge competencies (hard skills). These two competencies are described in levels of proficiency with the lowest level being level 1 and the highest being level 5.
 

This research aims to determine the benefits of assessing attitudes (affective) in Islamic religious education (PAI) lessons in elementary schools. This research uses a qualitative method which aims to gain a deeper understanding of the use of attitude (affective) assessment in Islamic religious education (PAI) lessons in elementary schools. So, the data collection method used uses previous research data, then the data is analyzed using data obtained from relevant sources. After previous research has been analyzed, the conclusion of this research is that although behavioral assessment requires students to behave in accordance with Islamic values, their behavior often does not go well. Teachers tend to focus on skills assessment and face difficulties in creating clear and consistent assessment tools. To overcome this problem, more efforts need to be made to assess the importance of assessment by using assessment and testing tools. Additionally, behavioral assessments should be included in the report card and not just as a formality. In this way, it is hoped that the PAI learning process can be more meaningful and contribute to the formation of students' character as a whole.

One of the areas worked on in school-based management is financing management. Good financing management is necessary because it is believed that with efficient and effective school financial management, errors, leakages, and variations in the use of funds from the original plan and goals will be avoided. Schools are empowered to assess their own needs through school-based financing management, which transfers control over budget allocation and use to schools. To completely reduce dependence on government funding, schools are also allowed to engage in income-generating activities. Financing management needs to be carried out carefully, diligently, and comply with relevant regulations when implementing school-based management. The preparation of school revenue and expenditure budget plans (RAPBS) as well as various forms and sources of school funding are all included in the idea of school-based financing management.

Education aims to help students become more independent and critical in the process of discovering their own identity. Participatory education is a relevant approach that allows students to actively participate in the thinking process. The philosophy of educational progressivism pioneered by John Dewey reflects much of this approach. According to progressivism, education should be student-centered by emphasizing hands-on experience to teach and build critical thinking skills. Relevant works on progressivism and Dewey's concept of education are investigated in this qualitative research. The results show that the idea of progressivism is strongly related to Indonesia's national education goal, which is to create innovative, independent, and flexible students. A student-centered curriculum and a supportive education system are needed to implement this theory.

Mental health issues are still a hot topic being discussed amidst a generation flooded with vast amounts of information. The information that arises correlates with the impact felt by various groups, including the general public, students, and university students. Positive information that is informative or other information that is trivial can influence how someone behaves. The tendency for students to experience excessive anxiety, commonly referred to as overthinking, stems from their habit of scrolling through and comparing themselves with the achievements of others on social media. This is one of the disorders that contributes to the mental health issues caused by frequent consumption of social media. A lack of religious knowledge plays a significant role in how individuals process information. The awareness of the importance of religious knowledge needs to be instilled in every educated student so that their academic pursuits do not overshadow their obligations as servants of Allah, who are still given the opportunity to accumulate good deeds. This research employed a qualitative approach over four days using a Google Form survey as the questionnaire tool. The purpose of this research is to process the data obtained to provide clear facts from the field.

In the sense that without education, a person cannot be considered a true human being and cannot carry out their role as a valuable human being in their daily life. Creating a flawless Muslim human being in the sense of al-insan al-kamil—that is, a person who is constantly istiqomah and continuously proficient in using their bodily and spiritual abilities to always submit to and obey Allah SWT—is the ultimate goal of the Essence of Humanity program in Islamic education.

Western science and Islamic science are considered different in several aspects. This difference  is very visible when Western science arrogantly claims that science is not related to religion and was not born from the church, while Islam believes that science cannot be separated from religion. This can happen because Western science is rooted in ratio while Islamic science is rooted in revelation. This view then gave birth to a dichotomy between general sciences and religious sciences. This is what then encourages Muslim scientists to carry out ijtihad for a paradigma change through the Islamization of science.

Law that is just and in line with social values adopted by society. This role is increasingly relevant in facing modern challenges, where understanding and application of the teachings of the Qur'an have an important role in the formation of legal norms in Muslim society. As a holy book, the Qur'an provides moral and ethical guidelines that form the basis for the Islamic legal system. Through its various verses, the Qur'an establishes the principles of justice, goodness, and social responsibility that influence individual behavior and interactions between members of society. The purpose of this study is to explore the values of Islamic law related to the role of the Qur'an in the formation of legal norms. The method used in this study is a qualitative method, by making books, magazines, articles and journals related to the research theme to collect data, then codify it, and then describe it in this article. The results of this study indicate that the application of Islamic law is largely determined by the Qur'an and Sunnah. Laws taken from sources other than the Qur'an and Sunnah will not last long, because the law is made by humans. So that potentially whoever is in power is the one who determines the law. In addition, the Qur'an also provides concrete rules regarding aspects of life, such as marriage, inheritance, and crime, which are then interpreted and applied in the context of sharia law. Thus, the Qur'an not only functions as a spiritual source, but also as a basis for the formation of norms that need to be adjusted to social dynamics and developing legal needs.

Zam-Zam water is water that appeared during the period of Prophet Ismail AS., long before the birth of Prophet Muhammad SAW. Zam-zam water has received direct testimony and justification from the Prophet Muhammad as the best water on earth which contains many benefits. Explicitly, the properties of Zam-Zam water are contained in the hadith, which is considered authentic according to the scholars. This article, in an integrative-interconnective manner, tries to examine the existence of Zam-Zam water through a hadith perspective and a scientific perspective. From a hadith perspective, zam-zam water will be studied using several hadith critical methodologies, both in terms of the text of the hadith (matn) and the transmission of the narrator (sanad). Meanwhile, through a scientific approach, Zam-Zam water will be researched more deeply so that a scientific fact can be found that the substances contained and the molecules that are arranged in Zam-Zam water are better than other substances or water molecules. In this article, this will be proven, among other things, by the results of research by Masaru Emuto, a water expert from Japan, regarding the power of water in general, the magic of Zam-Zam water, and the beauty of the crystals that Zam-Zam water forms. So, the Prophet Muhammad’s justification for Zam-Zam water is embodied by the truth of modern scientific research facts. So it can be said that the agenda to reconcile religion and science is not in vain.
