Abstract

The veil-wearing is debated in various non-Muslim countries, yet it is indispensable to explore the veil-wearing in Muslim-majority country that upholds the ideology of religious moderation. Despite the fact that Langsa City implements Sharia law, women who wear veils encounter discrimination. While wearing veil, women are confronted with obstacles, but still preserve the veil. Thus, analysing the motive and the maintaining factor is crucial. This study investigates why people choose to wear and continue wearing veils. The current study is a qualitative study with an ethnographic approach. Data was collected using observations, in-depth interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with 10 informants selected purposively. The results analysis revealed that the use of the veil does not happen suddenly but through a complex process. The motivation for wearing a veil is a spiritual force. However, other multi-factor underlines the decision to wear one. The factors are dedication to religious principles, protecting oneself, following one spouse's advice, and a desire to appear fashionable but yet respectful and Islamic. This study implies that there is a shift in perspectives regarding the veiling practice as a means of spirituality as well as a means of self-expression. Moreover, Islamic veils transcend Islamic regulations because women wear them for diverse purposes.

Abstract

The physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional development determine every aspect of human life, including education. Providing appropriate education for children is determined by the child's developmental stage. The current study aims to describe the stages of human development according to Western and Islamic concepts and their implications in Islamic education. To ensure a comprehensive investment in human beings, attention to religious education and introducing religious instruction from the prenatal stage is deemed necessary, as this period forms the foundation for further development. The research methodology employed in this study is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). After reviewing various literature sources, the researchers selected several references that were relevant to the topic. The study's results indicate that the prenatal phase in Islamic psychology is more extended than Western psychology's. The tamyiz and amrad phases, viewed in Islamic psychology as preparations for entering adulthood, correspond to the Western psychological perspective of puberty. The futuh phase, or the phase of wisdom in Islamic psychology, occurs when a person ages 40, whereas Western psychology labels this as the adult phase. The phase of the Hereafter is considered crucial in Islamic psychology, while Western psychology lacks an afterlife phase. Consequently, Muslims undergo lifelong education from early birth to death. In conclusion, every phase of human life must be educated according to the level of maturity, starting from prenatal, infant, early childhood, school age, adolescent, young adult, mature adult, to late adult.
