Abstract

This study explores the experiences of international students from Thailand in pursuing Islamic Religious Education in Indonesia, focusing on the challenges and opportunities faced. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, data were obtained through observation, interviews, and case study analysis using the Cresswell (2016). The results of the study revealed that students faced major obstacles in the form of limitations in understanding the language of instruction, local cultural differences, and difficulties in understanding contextual religious terminology. Barriers to integrating technology into Islamic Education learning also exacerbated the existing challenges. However, significant opportunities also emerged, such as enriching religious knowledge through comparing theological perspectives, openness to religious interpretations, and learning experiences in an inclusive multicultural environment. In addition, limited support from peers and lecturers also helped Thai students overcome these obstacles. The contribution of these findings lies in a deeper understanding of the dynamics of religious learning in a cross-cultural context and the importance of adapting more inclusive teaching strategies. The results of this study can be a basis for educational institutions in designing learning programs that support international students, especially in overcoming linguistic, cultural, and technological challenges, in order to improve the quality of their learning experience in Indonesia.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has radically changed the way humans understand sexuality and self-identity. This research aims to analyze the impact of digital technologies-such as social media, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality-on the concept of sexuality and human nature through the perspectives of Western and Islamic philosophy. Using a comparative literature study approach, this research examines the thoughts of Western philosophers (Foucault, Baudrillard) who see sexuality as a social construction and hyperreality, as well as Islamic perspectives (Al-Ghazali, Nasr) that emphasize the concepts of fitrah, nafs, and tawhid-based sexuality ethics. The results show that digital technology creates a paradox: on the one hand it liberates sexual expression, but on the other hand it blurs the boundaries between humans and machines, causing a crisis of human meaning. Islamic philosophy offers an alternative framework by integrating the principles of spirituality and technological ethics to maintain human dignity. This research contributes to the discourse of philosophy of technology by offering a critical dialog between Western and Islamic traditions in responding to the challenges of sexuality in the digital era. The implications include the need for a multidisciplinary approach that integrates technological ethics with transcendental values.
