Abstract

This study explores the role of private Islamic schools in promoting educational equity and supporting the goals of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) in rural Indonesia. Focusing on Madrasah Tsanawiyah Uminda Tanakaraeng in Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi, it examines how local Islamic schools respond to structural barriers such as poverty, inadequate infrastructure, and entrenched socio-cultural norms that inhibit access to formal education. Findings reveal that families in remote areas often prioritize short-term survival strategies—such as informal labor and early marriage—over long-term educational investment. However, the presence of faith-based institutions like madrasahs has proven instrumental in addressing these challenges by offering both general and religious education tailored to the needs and values of the community. The madrasah not only facilitates access to junior secondary education but also promotes religious literacy, gender empowerment, and community cohesion. Despite resource limitations, the school plays a vital role in reducing education inequality and serves as a model for inclusive, context-sensitive education. The study concludes that integrating private Islamic schools into national education policy through financial and institutional support could significantly enhance the delivery of equitable education in underserved regions and accelerate progress toward achieving SDG 4.

Abstract

This study explores perceived psychological pressure associated with social media use and examines mindfulness-related self-regulation and Islamic religious-spiritual values as perceived coping resources among social media users in Makassar. The study primarily uses a descriptive quantitative design based on a four-point Likert questionnaire completed by 130 active social media users aged 10–30 years who used social media at least one hour daily. Because the original interview documentation is incomplete, available interview-derived material is treated only as supplementary narrative context and not as a fully reconstructable qualitative strand. Most respondents recognized that social media does not always reflect actual life conditions (94.6%) and strongly endorsed religious-spiritual coping, including prayer, dhikr, qana‘ah, tawakkal, muraqabah, muhasabah, and tabayyun. At the same time, some reported comparison-related sadness, reduced motivation, overthinking, sleep disturbance or fatigue, and limited use of relaxation practices. These findings indicate that cognitive awareness, religious-spiritual values, and mindfulness-related regulation may function as perceived coping resources, but their effectiveness was not tested. Interpretation is limited by the cross-sectional, self-report, non-random design, broad age range, researcher-developed items, incomplete qualitative documentation, absence of a validated depression scale, and lack of intervention testing. The study offers a provisional Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah–mindfulness framework linking hifẓ al-nafs and hifẓ al-‘aql with digital self-regulation and spiritual coping without treating depression or therapeutic effectiveness as measured outcomes.
