The accuracy of determining the north point is a very important matter in determining the Qibla direction. Finding the north using a compass, especially in buildings, is not encouraged so that an alternative method is needed. Apart from using a compass and istiwa stick (gnomon), Polaris can also be used to reference the north, but it is not popular because of its limited appearance, which is only easily observed in areas which located above latitude 10o N. This study aims to examine theoretically the accuracy of Polaris as a reference for the north point in determining the Qibla direction. This research belongs to library research using secondary data. The data were obtained from various sources such as Stellarium software and various relevant articles. Based on this research, it is concluded that in the region near the equator (less than latitude 10o N), Polaris is difficult to observe because it is very low above the horizon. Thus, for the sake of determining the Qibla direction, the results are inaccurate. Whereas in regions that are located far north from the equator (at latitude above 10o N) the north point can be determined easily because Polaris can be observed quite high. Thus, its use in determining the Qibla direction is classified as accurate.

Determining the Beginning of Fajr Time is an important issue that requires synergy between scientific and shar‘i approaches. The fajr ṣādiq (true dawn) as the indicator marking the beginning of Fajr time has become the main focus of various astronomical studies and fiqh discussions. However, the criteria for determining Fajr time remain a matter of debate to this day. This study employs a qualitative-descriptive approach through library research to reconstruct the paradigm of dawn observation based on the integration of astronomy (‘ilm al-falak) and Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh). The findings show that the paradigm for determining the beginning of Fajr time is grounded in identifying the earliest, most accurate, and objective appearance of the fajr ṣādiq. The analogical approach to determining the beginning of the Hijri month reinforces the scientific principle of dawn observation, namely the use of the lowest threshold criterion in identifying the first astronomical phenomenon that signifies a change in time. The application of this principle, as adopted by LF PBNU, reflects a shared paradigm between science and fiqh in affirming the boundaries of worship times both empirically and normatively.

Determining the Qibla direction is a crucial aspect in the performance of prayer (salat) for Muslims. This study was conducted to determine the Qibla direction at a house located in Dusun Angus Tanjung RT 10/RW 05, Tanjung Bugis Village, Sambas District, Sambas Regency, West Kalimantan. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the Qibla direction using a scientific method involving simple tools through direct observation and manual calculations based on astronomical data. The method applied includes calculating the Qibla direction using specific formulas, supported by a compass and Android-based digital devices to determine the Qibla angle from the house’s geographical coordinates. The measurement results showed that the Qibla direction aligns with the orientation of the house, with no noticeable deviation. This research is expected to provide practical understanding to the community, especially in rural areas, on how to accurately determine the Qibla direction so that prayer can be performed correctly while facing the Kaaba.

This Community Service Program (PKM) aims to analyze the fulfillment of the principles of electoral district (dapil) delineation and seat allocation in the administration of the 2024 General Election (Pemilu) in Sambas Regency. Conducted through a collaboration between the General Election Commission (KPU) of Sambas Regency and the Institute for Research and Community Service (LP2M) of Sultan Muhammad Syafiuddin University Sambas, this activity took the form of a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) involving academics, election organizers (KPU and Bawaslu), the Sambas Office of National Unity and Politics (Kesbangpol), and university students. The study was based on seven fundamental principles of electoral district delineation, namely equality of vote value, proportionality, adherence to the proportional electoral system, territorial integrity, coterminous, cohesiveness, and continuity. The results indicate that the seven-district model is more ideal than the five-district model, as it better fulfills the principles of territorial integrity, cohesiveness, and proportional seat allocation, although the five-district model performs better in terms of vote value equality and continuity. Therefore, the delineation of seven electoral districts in Sambas Regency is considered to reflect a more just, democratic, and contextually relevant balance of political representation according to the region’s socio-geographical characteristics.

The capacity for mathematical problem-solving constitutes a vital proficiency in mathematics education.Nevertheless, the proficiency level of Indonesian students in this domain remains suboptimal. Thisresearch endeavors to explore students’ perceptions of the integration of the Search, Solve, Create, andShare (SSCS) pedagogical model, augmented with bar modelling, and to evaluate its efficacy inadvancing their mathematical problem-solving competencies. Employing a quasi-experimentalframework with a non-equivalent control group design, the study utilized instruments such as a studentresponse questionnaire and a diagnostic assessment aligned with Polya’s problem-solving indicators.Findings reveal that student responses to the instructional approach fall under the “very good”classification, yielding an average score of 80.57%. Furthermore, the experimental group demonstrateda substantial enhancement in problem-solving capability, reflected in a normalized gain (N-Gain) of 0.79,while the control group exhibited a markedly lower N-Gain of 0.20. Results from the independentsample t-test produced a significance level (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a statisticallysignificant divergence between the two cohorts. Consequently, it can be inferred that the SSCS model,when combined with bar modelling, serves as an effective and engaging instructional paradigm forbolstering students’ mathematical problem-solving aptitude.

The discourse on religious diplomacy and the governance of Islamic law in the Southeast Asian region cannot be separated from the institutional role played by the forum of Religious Ministers of Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore (MABIMS). Since its establishment in 1989, MABIMS has evolved from a mere informal consultative forum into a strategic platform facilitating the harmonization of regional Islamic policies amidst the dynamics of globalization and geopolitical challenges. This research report aims to comprehensively identify, analyze, and evaluate the strategic role of MABIMS in responding to the contemporary problems of Muslims in Southeast Asia. This research is structured adhering to strict academic guidelines, focusing the analysis on three main pillars: the unification of the Hijri calendar, the standardization of the halal industry ecosystem, and the mainstreaming of religious moderation (Islam Wasathiyah). This study uses a qualitative literature-based research method (library research) with a normative-juridical and historical approach. Data were collected through critical reading of official MABIMS resolution documents, Islamic journals, and public policy literature from member countries. The identification results indicate that MABIMS plays a central role in: (a) ratifying the New Criteria for hilal visibility (minimum altitude of 3 and elongation of 6.4) to reduce disparities in Islamic holiday celebrations and unify the regional Islamic astronomy (Ilmu Falak) paradigm; (b) harmonizing cross-border halal certification standards to strengthen the ASEAN region's position as the epicenter of the global sharia economy; and (c) strengthening soft power diplomacy through integrated Hajj management and the promotion of Islam Wasathiyah as an antithesis to transnational extremism and puritanism. The main conclusion of this study emphasizes that although MABIMS resolutions are conceptually and normatively very ideal, their implementation at the grassroots level still collides with sociological obstacles, methodological pluralism, local traditional heritage, and the political sovereignty of each country. Therefore, social engineering strategies and the transformation of resolutions into more binding legal instruments are needed to ensure a real and measurable impact on the unity and welfare of Muslims in the Nusantara region.
