<![CDATA[This article examines the existence and role of Islamic educational institutions for the children of migrant workers from Madura in Malaysia. The phenomenon of labour migration from Indonesia to Malaysia has created a need for adequate education for the children of migrant workers, especially in the context of Islamic education which is an integral part of their cultural identity. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach, involving in-depth interviews and field observations in several Madurese communities in Malaysia. The research results show that there are various Islamic educational institutions that serve the children of Madurese migrant workers, ranging from formal institutions such as the Kota Kinabalu Indonesian School (SIKK) and the Kuala Lumpur Indonesian School (SIKL), to non-formal institutions such as the Indonesian Education Center (PPI) and Madurese Learning Community (KBM). Apart from that, there are also informal educational initiatives such as home recitations and study programs at mosques or surau. While these institutions play a key role in defending Islamic values and Madurese culture, they face various challenges such as resource constraints, legality issues, and the need to balance religious education with the demands of general education. This article also explores the adaptation strategies implemented by these institutions, including the use of technology for distance education and cooperation with local authorities. In conclusion, the existence of Islamic educational institutions for the children of Madurese migrant workers in Malaysia has deep significance, not only in the context of religious education, but also as a means of cultural preservation and preparation for reintegration into Indonesia. This research recommends increased support from the governments of Indonesia and Malaysia, as well as closer cooperation between various stakeholders to strengthen and develop these Islamic educational institutions.]]>

<![CDATA[The increase in the Value Added Tax (VAT) rate to 12%, effective January 2025, based on Law Number 7 of 2021 concerning the Harmonization of Tax Regulations (HPP Law), has had a significant impact on production and consumption behavior in Indonesia. This increase impacts producers facing increased production costs, particularly those related to raw materials subject to VAT. Producers are required to adjust their production strategies, including price adjustments, increased operational efficiency, and product diversification. Meanwhile, consumers face the impact of rising prices for goods and services, which impacts purchasing power, particularly among low- and middle-income groups. In response to this VAT rate increase, the government is expected to implement consumer protection policies, such as subsidies for basic goods and social assistance, to maintain purchasing power and prevent further economic inequality. This study explores the relationship between taxation and production behavior and suggests strategies that producers can adopt to maintain competitiveness in an increasingly competitive market.]]>

<![CDATA[Deductive logic plays an important role in developing a student's critical thinking skills, especially Islamic Religious Education students. A student can use the deduction process to draw valid conclusions based on premises that have been accepted as true. In Islamic religious education, this ability is very necessary in analyzing and understanding religious concepts that require in-depth understanding, such as interpretation of the Koran, Hadith, and so on. Through deductive logic, students can develop a critical nature towards the many interpretations of existing religious teachings, and are able to differentiate between various points of view based on rationalism and dogmaticism. A mature abstraction of thought accompanied by the use of a deductive approach will help students build coherent and structured arguments in addressing contemporary issues related to the Islamic religion. Therefore, mastering the logic of deduction not only improves students' critical thinking skills, but also enriches their perspective in understanding and applying Islamic teachings in everyday life.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examines Sayyid Muhammad ‘Alawi al-Maliki’s defense against Orientalist critiques of al-Muwattha’, authored by Imam Malik. These critiques primarily focus on the use of mursal (disconnected) hadiths, insufficient attention to the chain of transmission (sanad), and the perception that the book is more a work of jurisprudence than hadith. In his book “Imam Darul Hijrah: Malik Ibn Anas Radiyallahu ‘anhu”, Sayyid Muhammad argues that Imam Malik’s methodology was grounded in rigorous scholarly principles, characterized by high selectivity in assessing both the chain of transmission and the content of hadiths. He asserts that al-Muwattha’ not only reflects the excellence of Madinan traditions but also retains historical and methodological significance in the study of hadith and Islamic jurisprudence. This study employs a descriptive-analytical approach to explore Sayyid Muhammad’s arguments in response to Orientalist critiques, including the views of Carl Brockelmann and Fuat Sezgin, who regarded the book as lacking authority as a hadith reference. The findings reveal that al-Muwattha’ holds a pivotal position in the Islamic intellectual tradition, with its unique methodology integrating hadith and jurisprudence. By refuting Orientalist claims, this study reaffirms the validity of al-Muwattha’ as a primary reference in the study of hadith and Islamic law.]]>

<![CDATA[The rapid development of the halal economy in recent decades demands support from a robust and sustainable Islamic financial system. Among the financing instruments that play a crucial role in supporting the sustainability of this ecosystem are the ijarah and Ijarah Muntahiyah Bittamlik (IMBT) contracts. Both contracts offer asset-based financing solutions free from usury, thus aligning with Islamic economic values. Through a gradual leasing and ownership scheme, ijarah and IMBT facilitate access for businesses, particularly halal MSMEs, to productive assets without requiring large upfront capital. This approach not only encourages real sector growth and business efficiency but also expands the reach of Islamic financial services in the community. This article aims to examine the contribution of ijarah and IMBT to halal economic growth, evaluate the challenges of their implementation, and propose sustainable optimization strategies.]]>
