Abstract

This paper is based on the pattern of Minister Nasaruddin Umar's initiative to implement a one-semester premarital course aimed at reducing divorce rates, specifically noting that a large percentage of marriages (35%) end in divorce, especially among couples married less than five years. The minister identified economic hardship, the age gap, educational disparities, and interfaith marriages as the main factors leading to divorce. The legal framework prescribes programs prioritizing gender equality and well-being, seeking to address the social challenges posed by divorce and improving marital harmony through structured educational initiatives. The discourse identifies the importance of statistical data in shaping effective policies and programs while emphasizing collaborative efforts between various government ministries to improve household quality and resilience. This analysis uses a Normative Juridical approach, which emphasizes the inventory of positive law, legal doctrine, and historical legal studies, with a focus on regulatory frameworks such as the Minister of Religious Affairs Decree and Law No. 1/2019 on Marriage.

Abstract

The dynamics of da’wa in Indonesia face significant challenges, particularly in aligning traditional methods with the complexities of modern urban society. Traditional approaches, often limited to sermons and religious broadcasting, are considered less effective in addressing the evolving needs of urban communities. Dershane Akhwat Jakarta, a community-based on the teachings of Risalah Nur by Badiuzzaman Said Nursi, offers a contextual and inclusive da’wa model. This study examines the strategies employed by Dershane Akhwat Jakarta, particularly its interactive discussions, text readings, and open dialogues tailored to urban societal needs. The findings reveal that Dershane’s success lies not solely in transferring religious knowledge but in its flexibility to adapt to the participants' spiritual and social needs. This research confirms the validity of moderate da’wa approaches while expanding on their application by emphasizing the importance of social interaction and community engagement. Furthermore, integrating digital technologies emerges as a crucial innovation to engage younger, tech-savvy audiences. This study underscores the positive impact of Dershane’s inclusive methods in enhancing participants' understanding and strengthening community bonds. It advocates for strengthening the Dershane network nationally and internationally and advancing digital innovations to ensure the widespread and sustainable dissemination of Risalah Nur's values.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the implementation of the Collaborative Learning Model starting from the need to create a more interactive learning environment based on cooperation between students. Traditional learning that is more passive, where the teacher is the main source of information, is considered less effective in developing students' social skills, critical thinking, and problem solving abilities. Education is the key to an individual's success. Therefore, we as educators must be able to develop ourselves as whole individuals, as members of society and citizens of the nation. In other words, being able to know ourselves, the surrounding community, and our nation. This introduction process requires the development of cognitive, affective abilities, including imagination and inspiration (Hamid Hasan, 1993: 128). The results of this study indicate that the implementation of the collaborative learning model can significantly increase student literacy, collaborative students have higher literacy, collaboration needs to be applied among students and students in schools. These collaborative learning methods further motivate or encourage students to be active and interactive and work together in completing academic tasks in class. Thus, collaborative learning is fundamentally different from the conventional-traditional approach that has been carried out so far, which is more direct-transfer or one-way transmission model. The conclusion is that learning model research can be used as an alternative to improve literacy. In this case, students become the only source of knowledge or skills. Collaborative learning views the learning process more as learner-centered and not teacher-centered.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the urgency and relevance of integrating hadith values into the educational curriculum. As the second source of law after the Qur'an, the hadith plays a crucial role in shaping students' character, morals, and ethics. The study employed qualitative methods with a literature review and case study approach. The results indicate that integrating hadith values into the curriculum enhances students' understanding of Islamic teachings, shapes their character, and enriches the moral and ethical content of education. The most important aspect of implementing hadith as a source of learning material is the development of good character, in addition to assisting students in academic aspects. The integration of hadith values into educational science is not merely the addition of religious material, but rather a comprehensive philosophical, pedagogical, and practical transformation. Teachers and education personnel play a crucial role in ensuring that the integration of hadith values is carried out systematically and structured.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of cryptocurrency as a dowry in a marriage contract based on the views of scholars in Asahan Regency. Cryptocurrency, as a form of digital currency that has no physical form and is not controlled by the state financial authority, has triggered a debate in the perspective of Islamic law, especially when used as a dowry which is an important pillar in the marriage contract. This research uses an empirical method with a qualitative approach. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with scholars from various Islamic organizations in Asahan Regency, such as the local Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), leaders of Islamic boarding schools, and other religious leaders. The results showed that the majority of scholars in Asahan Regency rejected the validity of cryptocurrency as a marriage dowry. The main reasons are the uncertainty of value (gharar), very high price fluctuations, and its uncertain legal status both in the state and sharia. Some scholars categorize it as a speculative tool and close to the elements of maisir (gambling), so it does not meet the requirements of assets that can be used as dowry according to Islamic law. However, there is a minority of views that are tolerant with a note: the cryptocurrency must be able to be measured in value clearly, mutually agreed upon, and does not contain elements of fraud. This study concludes that the aspects of clarity of value, usefulness, and legality are the main indicators of the scholars' assessment in determining the validity of an object as a dowry. Therefore, there is a need for a firmer and more uniform fatwa from religious authorities to provide legal and sharia certainty to the community.

Abstract

The extension of the village head's term of office from 6 years to 8 years based on Law Number 3 of 2024 raises various implications for the sustainability of village government, especially in the implementation of development. This study aims to analyze the impact of this policy on village development in Purwakarta Regency using the Maslahah Mursalah perspective. The research was conducted through a qualitative method with a juridical-empirical approach, using interview, observation, and documentation techniques. The research location focused on two villages with different statuses, namely Ciwareng Village (independent) and Malangnengah Village (developing). The results of the study show that a longer term of office can be beneficial if supported by visionary, participatory leadership, and a strong monitoring system, such as in Ciwareng Village. Conversely, without accountable leadership and good community participation, as in Malangnengah Village, this policy has the potential to cause harm in the form of development stagnation and weak village governance. Thus, the policy of extending the term of office of the village head will only be beneficial if accompanied by a sustainable evaluation and accountability mechanism.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of Good Governance principles in improving public services at the Department of Population and Civil Registration (Disdukcapil) of Ciamis Regency from the perspective of Siyasah Dusturiyah. The purpose of this research is to analyze how principles such as transparency, accountability, participation, professionalism, and efficiency are applied in civil administrative services and how Islamic values in governance strengthen these efforts. A qualitative descriptive approach was used with juridical-empirical and normative methods, supported by primary data through field observation and interviews. The findings show that while Disdukcapil Ciamis has initiated service innovations such as the SILANCAR system and the “Jempol Si Manis” outreach program, challenges remain due to limited human resources, infrastructure, and shortages of e-ID card blanks. In the Siyasah Dusturiyah framework, public service is considered a trust (amanah) that must be carried out fairly, transparently, and responsibly. Therefore, institutional capacity building, digital technology adoption, and internalizing Islamic values are strategic steps to achieve good and competitive governance.

Abstract

This article aims to elaborate on the concept of experts and their needs today. This research emphasizes comparative analytical study methods by analyzing problems that exist in the Western world and even among Muslims themselves. The confusion in viewing expert figures as authorities have often given rise to various very complex problems. This stems from the failure to recognize expert figures. The truth is becoming increasingly opaque due to the emergence of various people claiming to be experts, followed by the proliferation of information. It is hoped that the birth of a healthy science culture will be able to overcome such problems. So that complete recognition of experts can occur. Thus, this research aims to restore the expert’s position as an authoritative expert, of course, following his capacity and abilities.

Abstract

In the discourse of Islamic political thought, spanning both pre-modern and contemporary eras, the concept of "shura" (consultation) holds significant importance among Muslim scholars, particularly Islamic political thinkers. One prominent figure in this domain during the modern era is Sayyid Muhammad Rashid Ridha. His noteworthy contributions to political thought are encapsulated in his seminal work, "Khilafot aw al-Imamat al-Uzma." His ideas are regarded as insightful and remain relevant in current political discussions. Rida contends that "shura" should serve as the cornerstone in the system of Islamic governance.
