This study aims to identify the impact of negative content on the cognitive abilities of grade VII students at SMP Negeri 1 Mataram. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method, with data collection through interviews, observations, and documentation. The subjects of the study were grade VIII students at SMP Negeri 1 Mataram. Negative content, such as false information, violence, and hate speech, can affect students' concentration and critical thinking skills. From interviews conducted with 76 students, the level of exposure to negative content and its impact on academic performance were determined. The results showed that most students experienced decreased concentration due to exposure to negative content and many students showed difficulty in critical thinking. Factors such as the duration of digital device use and lack of digital literacy were also found to influence the level of impact. This study emphasizes the importance of the role of teachers and parents in supervising students' content consumption, as well as the need for digital literacy education to improve the ability to sort information. Thus, it is hoped that students can reduce exposure to negative content and optimize their cognitive abilities to achieve better learning outcomes.

Human beings, basically, have a tendency to do things that like virtuous values, but in the process of their development, human beings are greatly influenced by their environment, Allah Himself has outlined that in human beings there is a tendency in two directions, namely actions that deviate from the rules and those that obey the rules. Man also has the tendencies mentioned above, he also has the freedom to choose between two paths, namely the right and the wrong. Therefore, humans can be wrong in choosing and judging a good deed, due to the lack of knowledge, the environment. Considering the possibility of human error or mistake in choosing and judging good deeds, Allah teaches people about goodness by mentioning and informing through the Qur'an which was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (saw) in several terms. Among these terms are the word ihsan and term Prophet Muhammad (saw) in several terms. Among these terms are the word ihsan and other terms. To be more in-depth about the Qur'an's insight into ihsan or goodness, this paper will discuss the Qur'an's insight into ihsan or goodness.

This study aims to explain the phenomenon of childfree from the perspective of the Qur'an, namely by referring to the books of interpretation of the Qur'an, then the discussion of childfree is re-examined using maqashid sharia (as one of the references in the Feminist interpretation paradigm). This research is included in qualitative, with descriptive analysis techniques, namely research that only explains certain conditions (in this case the interpretation of the Qur'an on childfree) without generalizing the intended research object and this research also does not use statistical analysis. The data collection technique used is library research. The author's findings, that there is no statement from the scholars of interpretation stating that childfree is an act that is contrary to Islamic law (haram), Faqihuddin Abdul Qodir said that childfree can be analogized with marriage, meaning the desire not to have children cannot be judged to the point of being haram.

Education is a key pillar in creating a nation's progress and prosperity. In Islam, education not only develops knowledge but also shapes character and good morals. Since its inception in Indonesia, Islamic education has played a significant role in the process of Islamization, yet it has faced the challenge of remaining relevant to current developments. Mahmud Yunus, a key figure in the reform of Islamic education in Indonesia, made significant contributions to integrating religious and general knowledge into the education system. His thinking emphasized the importance of a curriculum that combines religious and scientific knowledge, the use of Indonesian in learning, and the development of more modern teaching methods. Mahmud Yunus also proposed reforms in Islamic educational institutions, introducing a classical system and a structured curriculum, and emphasizing the role of educators as role models. His reform efforts formed the basis for the development of a more dynamic and adaptive Islamic education to the changing times, making it relevant today.

Education has been a fundamental pillar of human civilization since ancient times. Humans have learned to understand life, even up to the modern era we live in. With increasingly sophisticated and advanced technology, education plays a role as a tool for developing human potential. Humans are unique among other creatures. Experts study them from diverse perspectives. Quraish Shihab stated that many scientists have studied humans, but the results remain limited. What we do know is that humans are composed of several specific parts. This, too, depends on each individual's perception.

This study aims to explore the efficiency of education budget management at SD IT Al-Fitrah and identify challenges and solutions that can be applied in the context of modern education. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation and document analysis related to school budget management. The data obtained were analyzed thematically to identify relevant patterns. The results show that although SD IT Al-Fitrah has tried to manage its budget well, there are some significant challenges faced, including wasteful use of funds and lack of allocation for facility development. Around 15% of the total budget is left over each year. In addition, the utilization of information technology in budget management is still limited, which hampers operational efficiency. This study recommends the implementation of a more transparent budget planning and evaluation system, increased utilization of information technology, and better collaboration with parents and communities to support education budget efficiency.

This research examines in depth the methodology of interpreting the Al-Qur’an by focusing on the elaboration of the ijmāli interpretation method. Tafsir ijmāli, as a method of interpreting the Al-Qur’an, offers a concise and global approach in understanding the meaning of the verses of the Al-Qur’an. The main aim of this research is to analyze the characteristics, advantages and challenges in applying the ijmāli interpretation method, as well as offering a discourse on the development of this method. The methodology used in this research is descriptive qualitative with a literature study approach. Primary data was obtained from tafsir books that use the ijmāli method as well as various literature about this tafsir method. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the research show that the ijmāli exegesis method has the advantage of presenting the meaning of the Al-Qur’an practically and is easily understood by various groups. However, this method also faces challenges in elaborating the deeper and more complex meaning of certain verses. The conclusion of this research confirms that the ijmāli exegesis method remains relevant and important in contemporary Al-Qur’an interpretation discourse, but needs to be integrated with other interpretive methods to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the Al-Qur’an. It is hoped that this research can contribute to the development of the methodology for interpreting the Al-Qur’an and enrich the treasures of interpretive science through the offerings provided.
