The background of this research is the importance of pursuing knowledge based on good morals. The formation of Islamic character based on good morals is an important aspect that needs to be emphasized in students' lives, both in the school environment and in society. This is because good character is a reflection of the success of education, especially education based on Islamic values. However, at SMP Ma'arif NU 2 Kemranjen, several student behavioral problems were still found that indicate the suboptimal formation of Islamic character. Some students appeared unprepared when submitting memorization targets (deposits), were still outside the classroom when learning began, and arrived late to participate in the 0-hour habituation program. These problems indicate the importance of evaluating the effectiveness of the 0-hour habituation program that has been implemented by the school as an effort to form Islamic character. Therefore, this study aims to determine whether there is an effect of the 0-hour habituation program on the formation of students' Islamic character. This study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive survey method. The population in this study were all 107 eighth-grade students of SMP Ma'arif NU 2 Kemranjen from three classes. Data collection techniques were conducted through documentation of the 0-hour habituation program scores given by teachers and the Islamic character formation questionnaire completed by students. The data analysis technique used was descriptive statistics, with the calculation of averages, percentages, and data categorization. The results of the study indicate that the 0-hour habituation program did not have a significant impact on the formation of students' Islamic character. Nevertheless, this program is still being implemented because it is believed to have various benefits that can support the long-term character education process. This research contributes to schools in evaluating and developing more effective strategies for forming students' Islamic character.

The Abbasid dynasty was one of the most influential Islamic caliphates and left a long legacy in the development of world civilization. Established in 750 AD and ending in 1258 AD, the Abbasid period is known as the Golden Age of Islam due to its extraordinary progress in various fields, including politics, economics, and science. This study aims to examine how the Abbasid political and economic policies and the development of science that took place during that period were able to contribute significantly to the progress of global civilization. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive-historical approach through the study of relevant literature in the last five years. The results of the study indicate that political stability and a structured bureaucratic system provided a strong foundation for economic growth and intellectual progress. The Abbasid government established a center of knowledge in Baghdad known as Baitul Hikmah (House of Wisdom). Here, scientists from various religious and cultural backgrounds gathered to translate, develop, and disseminate knowledge from Greek, Persian, Indian, and other scientific traditions into the Islamic world. Some of the great figures who emerged during this period included Al-Khwarizmi (mathematics), Ibn Sina (medicine and philosophy), and Jabir Ibn Hayyan (chemistry). Their discoveries and work became the foundation for modern science. However, the glory of the Abbasids slowly declined due to internal conflicts, power struggles, and the weakening of the caliph's authority. The peak of the fall occurred when Baghdad was attacked and destroyed by the Mongols in 1258 AD. However, the intellectual and cultural heritage of the Abbasid dynasty continues to have an important influence on the development of world science and civilization to this day.

The instillation of trustworthiness (amanah) is an essential element in the character development of students, particularly within the framework of Islamic education. As a core moral value emphasized in both the Al-Quran and Hadith, amanah serves as a foundation for shaping students' integrity, responsibility, and reliability. Despite its significance, the teaching materials designed to instill this value have not been critically assessed, especially in terms of their content relevance and pedagogical effectiveness. This study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the Tafhim Al-Quran teaching materials used for Grade II students at SMP-T Darul 'Amal, focusing on the topic of amanah. Utilizing a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, data were gathered through the collection of documents, lesson plan (RPP) reviews, and interviews with subject teachers. The findings reveal that the teaching materials do cover the three learning domains—cognitive, affective, and psychomotor—but tend to disproportionately emphasize the cognitive domain. While the materials include references to Al-Quran verses and Hadith concerning trustworthiness and the fulfillment of promises, they often lack practical, real-world examples that are relatable to the everyday experiences of adolescents. Moreover, the current instructional approach remains conventional and teacher-centered, offering limited opportunities for students to engage in reflective and participatory learning activities. In light of these findings, the study recommends the development of more contextualized and student-centered teaching materials. These materials should incorporate active learning strategies, such as group discussions, case studies, and experiential learning activities, to more effectively foster the internalization of amanah as a lived value. Enhancing the relevance and interactivity of character education in this way can significantly improve its impact on students' moral development.

Ibn Sina (Avicenna), a 10th-century Muslim philosopher, scientist, and educator, has made major contributions to Islamic educational thought. This paper aims to examine the relevance of Ibn Sina's educational thought in the context of modern Islamic educational philosophy. Through a qualitative approach with literature study, this article analyzes Ibn Sina's ideas on the goals of education, stages of child development, and learning methods, as well as their relationship to the challenges of contemporary Islamic education. The results of the study show that Ibn Sina's thoughts are not only philosophical but also applicable, and remain relevant in efforts to build a holistic and sustainable Islamic education system.

The low learning outcomes of students encourage teachers to try to improve the learning process in the classroom. This study aims to improve student learning outcomes by implementing the Jigsaw method assisted by Canva in fiqh learning in class VI A MI PUI Cicalung. This type of research is classroom action research (CAR), which is carried out in two cycles, with each cycle consisting of four stages, namely planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The data collection methods used in this study are observation, testing, and documentation. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques, which were then presented in narrative and graphic form. The results of the study showed that the application of the Jigsaw method assisted by Canva can improve student learning outcomes in class VI A MI PUI Cicalung. This can be seen from the increase in the percentage of student learning outcomes in cycle I, which increased from 58% to 88%, which shows an increase of 30% compared to the pre-cycle conditions. In cycle II, student learning outcomes experienced another significant increase, namely from 88% to 100%, which means there was an increase of 12% compared to cycle I.

This study aims to determine the effect of the use of the Power of Two cooperative learning model on students' thinking skills in the Fikih material at MI Nurul Yaqin Donoyudan. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method that refers to literature observations, observations, and documentation. The Power of Two model is applied by forming small groups of two students who discuss the material being studied before sharing their understanding with other groups. This strategy is designed to encourage active interaction, increase self-confidence, and deepen understanding of the material. During the learning process, researchers observed an increase in collaboration between students and their ability to express opinions and understand Fikih concepts. The results of the study indicate that the application of this model can improve students' thinking skills, both in cognitive and affective aspects, which are marked by an increase in the quality of discussions, understanding of concepts, and active participation in learning activities.

Misunderstanding of religion will have an impact on the practice and acts of violence in the name of religion, such as intolerant, radical and even terrorist acts. These actions are often used as a shield for orders and in the name of religion, as if religion legitimizes violence and hostility. In truth, religion brings a message of peace, tolerance and mutual respect for differences. This study aims to provide a contribution, that every religion teaches to socialize and live peacefully and harmoniously, even though living in the midst of a society with different beliefs. In fact, religious adherents are able to create peace and avoid conflict, because the core teachings of every religion are to build harmony between humans even though they have different beliefs. Religious moderation is one of the major efforts to re-actualize religious adherents that conflict between fellow human beings is prohibited by religion.

This article is an attempt to find out the metamorphosis conception of the kiai's sarong gondelan, the proposition of Islamic education: the indeginiutas santri Nusantara, where the author has not found this theme before. The literature review setting is used through a qualitative descriptive approach to be further analyzed on the research subjects. The research findings show that the kiai's sarong gondelan is an education that contains an invitation to adhere to the teachings of Islam that have been taught by the kiai Nusantara, where they continue what was initiated by Walisongo. The teachings use a cultural approach that is sympathetic to the practice of Islam so that it is accepted by the Nusantara community. This researcher hopes that the results will contribute to Islamic education within the scope of teachings that describe rahmatan lil 'alamin. This research provides direction for further researchers to deepen their analysis in a wider area.

The common problems faced by students include feeling bored, lacking concentration, and being unmotivated in learning due to the lack of collaboration among students and monotonous learning activities. Therefore, this study aims to implement ice-breaking techniques in Islamic Religious Education to improve students' learning outcomes. This research was conducted using Classroom Action Research (CAR) with two cycles, each consisting of two meetings. Each cycle followed four stages: Planning, Implementation, Observation, and Reflection. Data collection techniques included tests in the form of questions and non-test techniques such as interviews, observations, questionnaires, and documentation. Based on the results of the Classroom Action Research, it was concluded that the implementation of ice-breaking techniques in Islamic Religious Education positively influenced students' learning motivation, leading to improved learning outcomes among fifth-grade students at UPT SPF SD Inpres Perumnas 1 Makassar. The study results showed that in the pre-test, the students' average score was 68.9 (Low), with six students achieving mastery, resulting in a 30% mastery level (Low). In the first cycle, applying the ice-breaking technique to students' understanding of Islamic Religious Education resulted in an average test score of 79 (Moderate), with 13 students achieving mastery, reaching a 65% mastery level (Low). In the second cycle, the implementation of ice-breaking techniques led to an improvement in students' learning outcomes, with an average score of 89.6 (High), and 18 students achieving mastery, reaching a 90% mastery level (High). The success indicators in this study, using the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method, demonstrated an improvement in students' understanding, as evidenced by the increase in mastery learning percentages from the pre-test, first cycle, and second cycle, ultimately reaching 80% of the total number of fifth-grade students as the final learning achievement.
