Abstract

This community service activity was carried out at the Madrasah Tarbiyah Islamiah Islamic Boarding School (PPMTI) Tanjung Berulak with the theme "Introduction to Sharia Finance as a Solution for Islamic Financial Management through a Participatory Education Program Based on Counseling." This program aims to increase students' understanding and awareness of the concepts and practices of sharia financial management as an alternative financial management in accordance with Islamic principles. The activity is designed to equip students not only with normative Islamic knowledge, but also with the application skills in applying sharia financial principles, particularly through an introduction to the systems and products of sharia financial institutions such as Sharia Banks. The activity stages began with preparation that included coordination with the boarding school management, preparation of educational materials, and development of supporting media in the form of presentation materials. The activity was attended by grade XII students with a participatory counseling approach through interactive lectures, discussions, and questions and answers. This approach provides space for students to actively participate, explore understanding, and relate the material to the context of everyday life. The results of the activity demonstrate an increased understanding among students of the urgency of Islamic financial management, as well as a growing interest and enthusiasm for implementing Islamic financial principles in their personal and social lives. This program is expected to encourage students to become agents of Islamic financial literacy in their communities, supporting the creation of an Islamic and sustainable society.

Abstract

The development of digital technology and social media has influenced the literacy patterns of Generation Z, which tend to reduce in-depth reading habits and critical thinking skills. This condition has resulted in a low social awareness among the younger generation in responding to increasingly complex social issues. One potential critical literacy strategy to address this problem is writing book reviews, as it can train analytical skills, reflection, and the systematic delivery of ideas. However, the skill of writing engaging and informative reviews remains a challenge due to a lack of mentoring and the perception that book reviews are academic and lack context. This community service activity aims to provide training and practical guidance to Generation Z in writing critical book reviews relevant to social issues. The methods used included material delivery, interactive discussions, and review writing practice. The results of the activity demonstrated an increased understanding of the structure, techniques, and function of book reviews as a medium for social reflection. This activity is expected to foster a culture of critical literacy and strengthen Generation Z's social awareness through educational, communicative, and responsible writing.
