Abstract

Anxiety disorders among adolescents have become a growing concern, with increasing cases linked to academic pressure, social expectations, and digital media exposure. Conventional treatments often rely on pharmacological and psychological interventions; however, alternative therapies such as dhikr (Islamic remembrance of God) are gaining attention for their potential psychological benefits. Rooted in Islamic spiritual practices, dhikr therapy is believed to induce a calming effect, promote mindfulness, and enhance emotional regulation. Understanding its effectiveness in alleviating anxiety among adolescents can contribute to integrative mental health approaches. This study aims to evaluate the impact of dhikr therapy on reducing anxiety symptoms in adolescent patients through a structured intervention program. A quasi-experimental research design was employed, involving 60 adolescent patients diagnosed with anxiety disorders. Participants were divided into an intervention group receiving guided dhikr therapy and a control group undergoing standard anxiety management. Anxiety levels were measured using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) before and after the intervention. Findings indicate a significant reduction in anxiety scores among participants in the dhikr therapy group compared to the control group. The study concludes that dhikr therapy serves as an effective complementary approach in managing adolescent anxiety. Recommendations for integrating dhikr therapy into holistic mental health programs are discussed.

Abstract

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into educational settings has outpaced the development of clear ethical guidelines, creating significant challenges related to academic integrity, data privacy, and algorithmic bias. Understanding stakeholder attitudes is crucial for developing effective policies for responsible AI use. This study aimed to empirically investigate and compare the attitudes of high school students and teachers regarding the ethical challenges and responsible use of AI in education. A mixed-methods approach was employed, using a quantitative survey administered to 250 students and 50 teachers to gauge attitudes toward AI ethics. This was supplemented by qualitative data from semi-structured focus groups to explore the reasoning behind these attitudes. The findings revealed a significant divergence in attitudes, with teachers expressing greater concern for academic integrity and data privacy, while students were more focused on AI as a tool for efficiency. Both groups, however, demonstrated a shared desire for clear, explicit ethical guidelines. A notable gap exists between student and teacher perspectives on AI ethics in education. To foster a culture of responsible AI use, educational institutions must implement comprehensive training and develop clear policies that address the distinct concerns of both stakeholder groups.

Abstract

The adoption of e-wallets for zakat payments remains low due to limited digital literacy, security concerns, and the requirement for Sharia compliance, despite fintech innovations improving efficiency and transparency. This study investigates the influence of opportunities and challenges in e-wallet usage on community participation in digital zakat payments. A mixed-methods approach with a Sequential Explanatory design was employed. The quantitative phase used a correlational approach with questionnaires, analyzed in SPSS for descriptive statistics, and tested for validity, reliability, normality, and linearity, using t-tests and F-tests. The qualitative phase involved a case study with interviews and documentation from 20 informants over 59 days, analyzed through data condensation, descriptive presentation, and triangulation of sources and techniques. Results indicate moderately high perceptions of e-wallet opportunities (mean = 16.00), high perceived challenges (mean = 36.10), and moderately high zakat usage (mean = 16.43). Statistical analyses confirmed significant positive relationships between variables. The Madura community, especially younger generations, uses M-Banking and ShopeePay for daily transactions, including zakat, although most still prefer cash. E-wallets provide accessibility, flexibility, and transactional proof, but limited knowledge, security concerns, and traditional habits limit their adoption for zakat payments. The study concludes that opportunities enhance zakat participation, challenges reduce interest, and overall adoption depends on community understanding, access, and trust. This research offers important insights into how e-wallet opportunities and challenges affect the effectiveness of digital zakat payments.
