Abstract

The objective of this research is to examine the "comparison of the law on divorce outside the court from the perspective of Sadd al-zari'ah in the MUI fatwa and KHI." This study employs library research using a descriptive analysis method, which involves collecting, organizing, classifying, and interpreting data. The findings of this study reveal that the law on divorce outside the court, according to the MUI fatwa of 2012, states that such a divorce is valid if it meets certain conditions, including the presence of a shar'i reason, the wife's iddah period starting from the pronouncement of divorce, and a subsequent report to the court. In contrast, according to the KHI, as stipulated in Articles 115 and 117, divorce is only valid if conducted in the presence of a religious court hearing, making divorces outside the court invalid. The analysis of Sadd al-zari'ah suggests that the KHI's perspective is more relevant in preventing harm, such as ambiguity in marital status, administrative difficulties in marriage registration, and neglect of the rights of wives and children. Therefore, the MUI fatwa of 2012 requires reformulation to better align with contemporary contexts and minimize the negative impacts of divorces occurring outside the court.

Abstract

Gauk Lao Tengngae is a local cultural tradition of the Luwu community that plays a strategic role in resolving family conflicts and is an important instrument in strengthening religious moderation in Palopo City. In the context of a multicultural society, the values contained in this tradition require in-depth analysis to understand their relevance to contemporary social dynamics. This study aims to critically analyze the discourse that has developed around the existence of Gauk Lao Tengngae cultural values in resolving family conflicts, as well as to explore its contribution to strengthening religious moderation in Palopo City through a critical discourse analysis approach. The study uses a qualitative approach with the Norman Fairclough model of critical discourse analysis (CDA). Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with traditional figures, religious leaders, and families who have experienced conflict and practice the Gauk Lao Tengngae tradition. The analysis was conducted in three dimensions: text, discursive practices, and socio-cultural practices. The analysis shows that Gauk Lao Tengngae cultural values contain principles of moderation that are in line with the teachings of religious tolerance, including: (1) the principle of deliberation and consensus in resolving conflicts; (2) respect for inclusive ancestral wisdom; (3) a mediation mechanism that prioritizes social harmony; and (4) the integration of universal human values across religions. The dominant discourse that has developed indicates that this tradition functions as a "cultural bridge" that strengthens social cohesion in a multi-religious society. Gauk Lao Tengngae has been proven to have a strong existence as social capital in strengthening religious moderation in Palopo City. The values contained therein can be a model for conflict resolution based on local wisdom, while strengthening tolerance and harmony between religious communities. This study recommends the need for revitalization and institutionalization of the Gauk Lao Tengngae tradition as part of a strategy for developing a moderate and tolerant national character.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study examines the influence of supervisors’ performance and madrasah principals’ leadership on the quality of inclusive schools in the era of digital transformation. Although educational supervision and school leadership are widely recognized as determinants of school quality, empirical evidence regarding their integrated contribution to strengthening inclusive educational management remains limited. Methodology: This study employed a quantitative survey design involving all 16 teachers at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri in Bantaeng Regency, Indonesia, using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through a self-developed questionnaire that was validated by experts and demonstrated excellent reliability. Descriptive statistics, simple linear regression, and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics Version 25. Main Findings: The findings indicate that supervisors’ performance has a positive and significant influence on inclusive school quality, explaining 40.2% of the variance, while madrasah principals’ leadership explains 78.4%. Simultaneously, both variables explain 81.9% of the variance, indicating that their combined contribution provides greater explanatory power than either variable individually. These findings demonstrate that collaborative educational leadership strengthens teacher professionalism, organizational innovation, and inclusive educational practices in the digital transformation era. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study proposes the Collaborative Educational Leadership for Inclusive Madrasahs framework, integrating supervisors' performance and madrasah principals’ leadership into a unified model for improving inclusive school quality. The findings provide practical implications for policymakers and educational stakeholders to strengthen instructional supervision, transformational and digital leadership, and collaborative governance through continuous professional development to support sustainable inclusive education.

Abstract

The use of swear words is a linguistic phenomenon that cannot be separated from the sociocultural context of the community of speakers. In Arab and Madurese societies, this linguistic practice is closely linked to notions of honor, social structure, and daily communication patterns, and thus cannot be understood merely as an emotional expression. This study focuses on a sociolinguistic analysis of the forms, functions, and social meanings of profanity use in two distinct cultural communities: Arab and Madurese societies. The primary objectives of this study are to describe the linguistic characteristics of swear words, analyze their sociocultural functions, identify community perceptions of these practices, and identify significant similarities and differences between the two cultures. This study employs a qualitative approach with a comparative study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, and were analyzed using domain analysis and interpretive sociolinguistic techniques to uncover communication patterns and the underlying cultural values. The results indicate that swear words in both communities possess distinctive linguistic structures, with a dominant focus on family, honor, and masculinity. Socially, swear words function as expressions of emotion, status negotiation, affirmation of solidarity, and conflict resolution mechanisms. Although both cultures place honor as a central value, Arab communities tend to use swear words as a more metaphorical means of symbolic expression, whereas Madurese communities exhibit an ambivalent function between intimacy and the potential to trigger conflict. These findings confirm that swear words are a direct reflection of the cultural values and social dynamics of their speakers’ communities.
