The development of digital technology, especially social media, has brought significant changes in the way of interacting and communicating among the younger generation, especially Gen Z. Gen Z, who was born between 1997 and 2012, grew up in the digital era where social media became the main platform for connecting, sharing information, and building community. This study aims to explore the influence of social media on social interaction among Gen Z, with a focus on the positive and negative impacts arising from the use of social media in their daily lives. Social media allows Gen Z to connect with peers, form identities, and participate in various virtual communities. However, while it provides an opportunity to expand social networks, research shows that social media can also reduce the quality of deeper social relationships. Interactions that occur in cyberspace tend to be more superficial compared to face-to-face communication, which can interfere with the development of social skills and empathy. In addition, social comparisons that often occur on social media also affect mental health, causing feelings of anxiety, loneliness, and dissatisfaction with oneself.

It is important to understand that students' academic achievement is not only influenced by their cognitive abilities, but also by non-cognitive factors such as social-emotional skills and learning styles.

This research discusses the concept of dual citizenship in the perspective of Indonesian positive law and Islamic law. Dual citizenship refers to the legal status in which a person is recognized as a citizen by more than one country, a phenomenon that is increasingly relevant in the era of globalization. In Indonesian positive law, dual citizenship is generally not recognized, except in special cases such as children from mixed marriages. However, increasing global mobility and individual rights have prompted discussion on the need for wider recognition of dual citizenship. Meanwhile, Islamic law provides a more flexible approach by considering the maqasid al-shariah principle which emphasizes the protection of basic human rights. Through a normative juridical and sociological approach, this research explores how the two legal systems deal with dual citizenship and what the implications are for individuals as well as the state. A comparative study of dual citizenship Dual Citizenship, Positive Law, Islamic Law, Maqasid al-Shariah, Citizenship Regulation practices in several other countries, such as the United States, Canada, Egypt and Pakistan, was also conducted to gain greater insight and understand the best practices that can be adapted in Indonesia. The results show that despite resistance to dual citizenship, its implementation can provide significant benefits, both in terms of protecting individual rights and strengthening international relations. Therefore, it is recommended that Indonesia consider a more comprehensive and inclusive policy regarding dual citizenship, which is in line with positive legal values and Islamic legal principles. This research can hopefully serve as a reference for policy makers and academics in developing regulations that are adaptive to global dynamics.

This study examines the integration of Islam and science through the thoughts of key figures, namely Ismail Raji Al-Faruqi, Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Al-Ghazali, and Ibnu Khaldun. The main focus of this research is to understand their approaches to the relationship between religion and knowledge, highlighting key concepts such as iman (faith), Islam, and ihsan (excellence). This approach is explained based on primary sources such as the Qur'an, Hadith, and qoul ulama, which provide the philosophical and theological foundation for understanding the integration of both. Using a qualitative approach, this research aims to explore how these perspectives shape a balanced view between the scientific and spiritual realms within the context of Islamic thought. The results of the study show that although each figure has a different viewpoint, they agree that science does not conflict with Islamic teachings; rather, it should be understood as a means of drawing closer to God. This research is expected to contribute to the development of dialogue between religion and science, as well as provide insights into the development of Islamic education in the modern era.
