Abstract

This study investigates the critical role of cross-cultural perspectives in understanding intimacy and communication within marriage. As societies become increasingly diverse, traditional marriage counseling approaches often overlook the unique needs and experiences of couples from varied cultural backgrounds. This article aims to explore how cultural values, norms, and communication styles shape the experiences of intimacy and influence relationship dynamics among married individuals. The research highlights that intimacy is not merely a personal experience but is heavily influenced by cultural context, which dictates how affection, emotional support, and conflict resolution are perceived and expressed. By analyzing various counseling models, including those that are culturally informed, this study emphasizes the need for adaptability in therapeutic practices. It also discusses the potential barriers that culturally diverse couples face in counseling settings, such as misinterpretation of behaviors and expectations rooted in differing cultural backgrounds. Furthermore, the article provides practical recommendations for marriage counselors to create more inclusive and effective interventions. This includes the necessity of integrating cultural competence training into counselor education programs and developing tailored counseling strategies that acknowledge and respect cultural differences. By doing so, counselors can better support couples in navigating their unique challenges and enhancing their relational satisfaction. Ultimately, this study advocates for a shift in marriage counseling paradigms to embrace a more holistic and culturally sensitive approach, thereby improving outcomes for couples from diverse backgrounds.

Abstract

Zikr is an act of worship that is intended to facilitate a closer relationship with Allah SWT and to reinforce individual spiritual connections. This study aims to examine the role of dhikr as a tool for spiritual growth in the training of da'wah personnel at Dayah Jamiah Al-Aziziyah. A qualitative approach with a phenomenological design was employed to gain insight into the implementation of dhikr, its impact on the spirituality of cadres, and the factors that facilitate or impede its effectiveness. Data were collected through the following methods: participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. The findings indicated that zikr is meticulously incorporated into the daily regimen and training program. The cadres report positive outcomes, including an enhanced sense of proximity to Allah, inner tranquility, emotional regulation, and elevated motivation in their preaching. Furthermore, zikr facilitates the strengthening of solidarity and social relations among cadres. However, the consistency of dhikr implementation is occasionally hindered by obstacles such as busy schedules. The success of the program is contingent upon the provision of caregiver support, technical guidance, and adequate facilities. The findings indicate that zikr is not merely a routine act of worship; it is also a tool for character development in the context of da'wah, fostering qualities such as patience, humility, and inclusivity. Ongoing assessment and program refinement are essential to enhance its efficacy. This model is a valuable reference for other Islamic educational institutions seeking to cultivate exemplary da'wah cadres

Abstract

This study examines the interpersonal communication between students (santri) and teachers (gurèe) in instilling Islamic values at LPI Dayah Mudi Mesra, Aceh. The interpersonal communication between santri and gurèe is not limited to the transfer of knowledge but also involves a deep emotional relationship, playing a crucial role in the internalization of moral and spiritual values. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach, collecting data through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. The results show that intensive interpersonal communication serves as an effective medium in shaping the Islamic character of santri, with teachers acting as a role model and providing moral guidance through daily attitudes and behaviors. This relationship enables students to more easily internalize religious teachings in their daily lives. This study contributes to understanding the important role of interpersonal communication in dayah education, particularly in shaping santri with noble character and strong spirituality. Moreover, this study strengthens interpersonal communication rooted in Islamic values, setting it apart from conventional notions of interpersonal communication ***** Penelitian ini mengkaji komunikasi interpersonal antara santri dan gurèe (guru) dalam menanamkan nilai-nilai keislaman di Dayah Mudi Mesra. Komunikasi interpersonal antara santri dan Gurèe tidak hanya terbatas pada transfer ilmu, tetapi juga melibatkan hubungan emosional yang mendalam, yang berperan penting dalam internalisasi nilai-nilai moral dan spiritual. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus, mengumpulkan data melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi partisipan, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa komunikasi interpersonal yang intensif menjadi sarana efektif dalam membentuk karakter islami santri, dengan Gurèe bertindak sebagai teladan yang memberikan bimbingan moral melalui sikap dan perilaku sehari-hari. Hubungan ini memungkinkan santri untuk lebih Mudih menginternalisasi ajaran agama dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Kajian ini memberikan kontribusi terhadap pemahaman tentang peran penting komunikasi interpersonal dalam pendidikan di dayah, khususnya dalam membentuk karakter santri yang berakhlak mulia dan kuat secara spiritual. Lebih jauh, studi ini memperkuat komunikasi interpersonal yang berakar pada nilai-nilai keislaman, yang membedakannya dari konsep komunikasi interpersonal pada umumnya.

Abstract

The transformation of sharia values through faith-based education plays a crucial role in shaping the character of the younger generation. Dayah, as a traditional Islamic educational institution, has a significant role in internalizing these values through the communication between gurēe and students. This study aims to identify the role of interpersonal communication by gurēe in shaping the Islamic character of students at Dayah MUDI Masjid Raya Samalanga. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with gurēe and students, direct observations of daily activities, and document analysis, including curriculum and teaching materials. Thematic analysis was used to identify key patterns in gurēe communication supporting the transformation of sharia values. The findings reveal that interpersonal communication by gurēe plays a central role in transforming sharia values. This process involves not only formal teaching but also personal approaches, open dialogues, and exemplary behavior by gurēe. This approach creates a supportive educational environment where students feel encouraged to internalize sharia values into their attitudes and behaviors. This study contributes to the Islamic education literature by emphasizing the importance of interpersonal communication as an effective strategy for building a sharia-based character in the younger generation.

Abstract

Dayah ulama in Aceh play a central role in shaping social and political order through their strong moral legitimacy. In the 2024 Aceh regional election, their involvement reflects a shift from moral figures to strategic political actors. This study illustrates how dayah ulama’s political communication influences public participation and shapes local political dynamics. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and thematic analysis. Findings show that dayah ulama utilize traditional preaching and modern strategies, such as social media, to expand political influence. [Added: Reference to integrative vs. polarizing impacts]. Their involvement goes beyond candidate support, constructing political narratives emphasizing pious leadership, sharia protection, and Islamic values in governance. While their communication reinforces shared cultural-religious identity, it can also sharpen social and political divisions depending on context. This contributes to broader discussions on faith-based political communication, showing parallels with global patterns where religious authority functions both as integrative and polarizing force in multicultural societies. Keywords: Political communication, dayah ulama, Aceh election, political participation, moral legitimacy ABSTRAKDayah ulama di Aceh memainkan peran sentral dalam membentuk tatanan sosial dan politik melalui legitimasi moral mereka. Dalam Pilkada Aceh 2024, keterlibatan mereka menyoroti pergeseran dari tokoh moral menjadi aktor politik strategis. Penelitian ini menggambarkan bagaimana komunikasi politik dayah ulama mempengaruhi partisipasi publik dan membentuk dinamika politik lokal. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif, data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan analisis tematik. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa dayah ulama menggunakan metode khotbah tradisional dan strategi komunikasi modern seperti media sosial untuk memperluas pengaruh politik. [Added: Penekanan pada dampak integratif vs. eksklusif]. Keterlibatan mereka melampaui dukungan kandidat, membangun narasi politik tentang kepemimpinan saleh, perlindungan syariah, dan integrasi nilai Islam dalam pemerintahan lokal. Komunikasi mereka dapat memperkuat identitas budaya-agama bersama namun juga berpotensi mempertajam perpecahan sosial dan politik tergantung konteks. Kontribusi penelitian menghubungkan kasus Aceh dengan studi komunikasi politik global, menunjukkan fungsi ganda agama sebagai kekuatan pemersatu sekaligus sumber polarisasi.Kata Kunci: Komunikasi politik, dayah ulama, pilkada Aceh, partisipasi politik, legitimasi moral
