Abstract

Religion, which serves as a system of social beliefs and norms, is often used by leaders to acquire and maintain power. The study shows that legitimacy gained through religion can strengthen political control, as seen in the Iranian context after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. On the other hand, religion is also a tool for mass mobilization in social movements, such as Action 212 in Indonesia. While religion can strengthen social solidarity, it also has the potential to spark conflict, especially when associated with national identity, as in India. Qualitative methods are used to examine the complex relationship between religion and politics, including the influence of religious values in policymaking. The findings suggest that the relationship between religion and politics is dynamic, and can serve as a source of stability or conflict, depending on the existing social and cultural context.

Abstract

This article examines the principles of Islamic communication contained in Surah An-Nahl verse 125, which contains three main concepts: hikmah (wisdom), mau'izah hasanah (good advice), and jadal (good debate). These three principles have deep relevance in the context of character education, especially in shaping the noble morals of students. Using an interpretive qualitative descriptive method, this study analyzes At-Thabari's interpretation of the verse, as well as its application in character education. The results of the study show that the application of Islamic communication principles in the interaction between educators and students can create an environment that supports the formation of strong characters, noble character, and able to adapt well in society. This article also reviews how Islamic communication plays an important role in developing students' morals and ethics, making it an effective tool in achieving the goal of better character education.
