Abstract

The increasing number of conflicts due to differences in cultural backgrounds necessitates the search for specific strategies to resolve these issues through various fields: social, political, cultural, economic, and educational. In this regard, multicultural education offers an alternative through the application of educational strategies and concepts based on the utilization of diversity in society, particularly in students such as ethnicity, culture, language, religion, social status, gender, ability, age, and race. In this study, the author uses library research, a series of activities related to library data collection methods. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of multicultural education can be carried out using the following strategies: curriculum development, improving the professional quality of educational staff, developing an educational management system, developing a higher education system, harmonizing public perceptions, instilling recognition (understanding) and appreciation for diversity (culture, ethnicity, race, religion, outlook on life, and so on), avoiding views that assume that one group is superior to another, and fostering and habituating a deliberative attitude.

Abstract

The ability to think is an important aspect in individuals that can generate extraordinary ideas or suggestions. Students need to be trained in thinking skills to enhance their intelligence. Therefore, teachers have knowledge of how to implement strategies or well-planned plans according to these goals to effectively develop thinking abilities. Thus, inquiry-based learning strategies are chosen as the most appropriate teaching method by teachers to enhance students' intellectual skills, as inquiry-based learning emphasizes critical and analytical thinking so that students can seek and find their own answers to the problems they face. In the subject of Islamic Education, research strategies are considered suitable for enhancing thinking abilities. This aims to develop understanding and increase students' intellectual knowledge of materials related to Islamic education.

Abstract

Arabic plays a central role in the Islamic world as the language of the holy scriptures of the Qur'an and Hadith, the language of religion, the official language of the United Nations (UN), and the national language in over 25 countries in the Middle East. Additionally, Arabic is known as "lughah al-dhâd" with a high cultural and social heritage value. Divine protection of Arabic as the vessel of Qur'anic expression affirms its authenticity and preservation (AlHijr: 9). Mastery of the Arabic language is crucial for the development of Hadith studies, enabling direct comprehension of Hadith texts without reliance on potentially inaccurate translations. Analysis of Hadith texts and the chain of narrators (sanad) requires proficiency in grammar, vocabulary, and the cultural context of the time of Prophet Muhammad, essential for assessing the authenticity and quality of Hadith. This research employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach, analyzing materials from relevant journals and books to construct a historiographical presentation of findings. The study emphasizes that proficiency in Arabic is not only a means of communication but also a primary key to deeply understanding and interpreting the intellectual heritage of Islam.

Abstract

In an era of increasingly intense globalization, multicultural societies face serious challenges in maintaining social cohesion amid cultural, ethnic, religious, and linguistic differences. While diversity is an asset that enriches social life, this reality also harbors the potential for conflict, especially when triggered by negative stereotypes, prejudices, and misunderstandings between groups. Therefore, a multicultural approach supported by inclusive education and cross-cultural dialogue is crucial for fostering empathy, understanding, and peaceful coexistence within society. Indonesia, with its vast geographical character and highly diverse socio-cultural composition, is a real representation of the challenges and potential of multiculturalism. In this context, a multicultural approach not only serves as a social strategy but also as a principle in shaping public policy oriented toward tolerance and respect for differences. However, historical records show that social cohesion in Indonesia has often been shaken, particularly due to horizontal conflicts reflecting the fragility of the foundations of social integration. This situation calls for comprehensive and sustainable solutions that address the root causes of the problem structurally and culturally. One relevant approach to responding to this complexity is the concept of ukhuwah wathaniyah or national brotherhood. This concept emphasizes the importance of collective responsibility and mutual respect among citizens in order to build national solidarity. This article aims to analyze this concept from the perspective of the Qur'an, focusing on M. Quraish Shihab's interpretation in his tafsir Al-Misbah, particularly regarding Surah Al-Hujurat verse 13. Through this tafsir, Quraish Shihab emphasizes that human diversity is part of sunnatullah, intended for mutual understanding, not discrimination. The measure of a person’s nobility is not determined by social status, ethnicity, or cultural affiliation, but by the quality of their piety and character.

Abstract

Various cases of violence committed by unscrupulous teachers have spread in educational, national and social life, indicating that teachers as the main spearhead of education do not yet have a significant role in the process of building a national personality with a social and humanitarian spirit. Education undergoes a process of “dehumanization”. It is said that because education experiences a process of decline with the erosion of the human values it contains. The aim of this research is this research to analyze the concept of teacher personality competence from Nasih Ulwan's perspective in her book entitled Tarbiyah Al-Awlâd fî al-Islâm. This study uses a type of analytical descriptive qualitative research. The results of this research produce a basic concept for teachers at Madrsah Tsanawiyyah in improving personality competencies that support three other competencies, namely: first, professional competencies. Second, pedagogical competence. Third, social competence. It can be concluded that if the teacher's personality competency is carried out on an Islamic basis and in accordance with policy, then it is certain that all teachers will have reliable competence. Recommendations for the next researchers are to be able to perfect this research by examining the theoretical basis of other experts regarding personality competencies for Madrsah Tsanawiyyah teachers.
