Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the socio-cultural factors that form the background of Islamic legal thinking, both in historical and contemporary contexts. Thus, this study seeks to understand how socio-cultural factors influence the development and interpretation of Islamic law over time. This research uses a qualitative approach by conducting a literature review as well as a historical and contemporary analysis of the development of Islamic law. Data is obtained through literature studies that include primary and secondary sources, such as classical Islamic law books, historical texts, and related academic studies. The results showed that socio-cultural factors have a significant role in shaping Islamic legal thinking. From a historical perspective, the development of Islamic law is often influenced by the socio-cultural context in which it developed, such as customs, customs of society, and political-economic conditions. Meanwhile, in the contemporary perspective, globalization, modernization, and other socio-cultural changes also affect the interpretation and application of Islamic law in society. This study concludes that understanding socio-cultural factors is very important in understanding the dynamics of Islamic legal thought. By considering the socio-cultural context, Islamic legal thinkers can develop relevant and adaptive approaches in formulating legal solutions that are by the demands of the times.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of the Independent Curriculum at SMP Muhammadiyah 2 Makamhaji Kartasura known as "SMP Muhammadiyah Duta", a small school with fewer than 50 students. Despite its limited resources, the school endeavors to optimize the learning goals of the Independent Curriculum introduced by Indonesia’s Ministry of Education and Culture. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis involving the principal, two teachers, and six students across grades 7–9. The findings reveal that the Independent Curriculum is applied progressively, with a focus on aligning educational strategies with local potential and student needs. The curriculum emphasizes adaptable and flexible lesson planning, integrating Islamic values across subjects, and continuous assessments to ensure learning objectives are met. Key outcomes include a learning design that holistically develops student competencies in knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Project-based learning and problem-solving activities enhance critical and creative thinking skills. The research underscores the vital role of parental and community involvement in supporting the learning process. This study contributes valuable insights into the practical implementation of the Independent Curriculum in small schools and provides a reference for other institutions aiming to adopt this model. It highlights the potential of well-designed curricula to foster independent, creative learners equipped to address future challenges effectively.

Abstract

The digital age has significantly transformed religious practices, presenting both opportunities and challenges for individuals and communities. This study examines the impact of technology on religiosity, focusing on the shift from traditional religious practices to digital formats. Using secondary data, the research explores how digital tools like online platforms and virtual communities have reshaped religious engagement and community building. Despite the benefits of accessibility, such as the convenience of attending services remotely and accessing religious resources online, challenges also emerge. These include misinformation, distractions, and the potential erosion of personal spiritual experiences, which can undermine the authenticity of religious practices. The findings suggest that while technology offers greater accessibility to religious resources, religious organizations and leaders must balance virtual engagement with maintaining the integrity of traditional spiritual practices. The study concludes with recommendations for integrating faith into the digital landscape while preserving the core values of spirituality. This includes promoting responsible use of technology, fostering virtual spaces that encourage meaningful engagement, and ensuring that digital tools serve as enhancements, not replacements, for authentic spiritual experiences.

Abstract

Islamic communication is a comprehensive and ethical framework rooted in the teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah, emphasizing truthfulness, wisdom, respect, and responsibility. It plays a crucial role in Da’wah (Islamic preaching), education, interfaith dialogue, media, and digital discourse. As communication methods evolve, Islamic communication must adapt to modern platforms while maintaining its ethical foundations. This study explores the theoretical foundations, methodologies, contemporary applications, and challenges of Islamic communication. It highlights how traditional approaches, such as sermons and direct interpersonal dialogue, have transitioned into digital spaces, including social media, online learning, and global media platforms. While these developments offer new opportunities for outreach and engagement, they also pose challenges such as misinformation, unethical media practices, Islamophobia, and the commercialization of religious content. The research underscores the importance of media literacy, responsible digital engagement, and scholarly participation in ensuring that Islamic communication remains authentic, impactful, and aligned with Islamic ethical values. Furthermore, it presents future directions for strengthening Islamic communication, including the integration of modern technology, youth engagement, and ethical guidelines for digital Da’wah. By examining both traditional and contemporary dimensions, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of Islamic communication and its role in fostering knowledge, unity, and positive social change in an increasingly interconnected world.

Abstract

This study examines the situation of science education in Bangladesh, analyzing the effects of government changes and concentrating on the difficulties the educational system faces. The study is to shed light on curriculum, teacher preparation, and resource availability to enhance science education in both urban and rural settings. Semi-structured interviews, policy analysis, and a review of the literature were all part of the qualitative research methodology. In addition to interviews with elementary and secondary science teachers throughout Bangladesh, information was obtained from pertinent educational policies, scholarly publications, and reports. Teachers' opinions on the difficulties of teaching science, the availability of resources, and the efficacy of governmental reforms were all examined in the interviews. Recurring themes and patterns were found using thematic analysis. Results show that access to science education has increased, while there are still issues, especially in rural areas. Inadequate teacher preparation, a lack of resources, and an antiquated curriculum that impedes inquiry-based learning are major problems. Regional inequities and gaps in teacher skills persist despite government initiatives to promote digital education and infrastructure. To raise the standard of science education, the report emphasizes the necessity of ongoing investments in infrastructure upgrades, curricular reforms, and teacher development. A small sample size that might not accurately represent all regional contexts and possible bias in self-reported data are among the limitations. With its useful suggestions for resolving the issues and enhancing science instruction in Bangladesh, this study provides insightful information for researchers, educators, and policymakers.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to explore how Henry Giroux’s theory of critical pedagogy can be applied to Islamic history education in order to enhance critical thinking, social awareness, and transformative learning. The study adopts Giroux’s theoretical framework, which includes ontological, epistemological, and axiological dimensions emphasizing student agency, dialogical learning, and ethical engagement. Using a qualitative literature study as the research method, this paper analyzes scholarly works on critical pedagogy and Islamic education to construct a contextual learning model for undergraduate Islamic history courses. The results demonstrate that traditional approaches to Islamic history often emphasize memorization over critical engagement, thereby limiting students' ability to relate historical narratives to contemporary social realities. By applying Giroux’s critical pedagogy, the study proposes a learning design that includes material and strategy innovations, diverse media tools, and formative assessments focused on critical dialogue and social relevance. The implications of this research suggest that adopting critical pedagogy in Islamic history education can contribute to the development of socially conscious, ethically responsible, and critically aware learners. The originality of this work lies in bridging Western critical pedagogy with Islamic educational objectives, offering a novel curriculum design that aligns with both transformative learning principles and the moral mission of Islamic education
