Abstract

Women's leadership is a topic that is receiving increasing attention in various fields, including politics, business, education and social affairs. As time goes by, women have demonstrated their capacity and competence to lead, inspire and bring about positive change. While still facing various challenges, such as gender stereotypes and inequality of opportunity, many women have proved that they are capable of being effective and visionary leaders. This article discusses women's leadership in Surah An-Naml verses 23-44, which contains the story between Prophet Sulaiman and Queen Saba’. This story allegedly provides an ideal picture of women's leadership. This research uses a library approach. Data and data sources are obtained from the Al-Qur'an surah An-Naml verses 23-44. Data collection techniques are obtained through note-taking. The analysis technique uses an interpretive descriptive approach with the hermeneutical theory ma'a cum maghza. The research results show that the figure of a female leader as stated in the story of Prophet Sulaiman and Queen Saba’ in Surah An-Naml Verses 23-44 produces the qualifications of a female leader who has social and material power, thinks open minded towards opponents or opposition, is democratic and a leader who admits mistakes and accepts the truth.

Abstract

The 2024 Presidential Election brought new dynamics to Indonesia's democracy, with social media emerging as the primary platform for political movements. This study aims to address the research problem regarding how social media influences political participation patterns and the direction of democracy after the election. A qualitative approach with phenomenological research design was employed to explore the experiences of individuals and groups in forming and participating in social media-based political movements. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, online participatory observation, and analysis of social media posts. Manuel Castells' network society theory served as the basis for understanding the role of digital society in political interactions. The findings reveal that social media enhances inclusive political participation but also increases the risks of polarization and disinformation, which can impact the quality of democracy. The research findings indicate that social media has emerged as a new political arena, displacing the dominance of traditional actors. Influencers and buzzers act as emotional bridges between political policies and public perception, while civil society groups leverage digital platforms for advocacy and democratic oversight.

Abstract

The exchange (ruislag) of waqf land with other land was allowed in Islam and has been regulated in Indonesian legislation. Every implementation of waqf land exchange in Indonesia must first apply for permission to the Minister of Religious Affairs through the Ministry of Religious Affairs with the stages of checking and assessment from the regional to the central level. It must get a recommendation from the Indonesian Waqf Board. In its implementation, there was a waqf land exchange application that has received a recommendation from the Indonesian Waqf Board, but did not receive permission from the Minister of Religious Affairs, namely the case of an application for permission to exchange waqf land located in Bugis Sesetan Sidakarya village, South Denpasar sub-district, Denpasar city, Bali province. The rejection of the application has caused the waqf land to be unused in following with the waqf agreement and its condition has been neglected until now. Therefore, this research was conducted to evaluate whether the rejection of the application for permission to implement the land exchange provides maslahah to the waqf property. This type of research was literature research, this research used a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. The data collection technique in this research was documentation, which looked for data on matters or variables related to the application for permission to exchange waqf land in Bugis village from a maslahah perspective from the sources of books, articles, journals and research reports, then analysed using the content analysis method. The results showed that the application for permission to exchange waqf land in Bugis village should be rejected. Although the replacement land has the potential to be developed productively, because the value of the replacement land was lower than the waqf land, the application for permission to exchange is more maslahah to be rejected.

Abstract

The Qur'an views humans as being divided into two elements: namely the first material element and the second inmaterial element. The spirit or soul which is material in nature has two types of power: the first is the power of thought which is called 'aql which is centered in the brain (head). These two feelings are called the heart which is centered in the chest. The type of research method that the author used in writing this research is a qualitative method in the nature of library research. Reason is a human privilege given by Allah SWT as a tool for determining truth and error, and reason is also a tool that can change or encourage human character.

Abstract

This research aims to identify and analyze the strategies used by Islamic Religious Education teachers in overcoming students' difficulties in reading the Qur'an at SMP IT Masjid Syuhada Yogyakarta. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a phenomenological approach. The research results show that at SMP IT Masjid Syuhada, the tilawati method is used by teachers as a strategy to help students who have difficulty reading the Qur'an. The teachers strive to make the learning process more effective and enjoyable so that the students can read the Quran correctly and fluently using the rost technique. With this method, it is hoped that students will not only learn to read the Qur'an but also understand the contents of the holy book. The tilawati method has several advantages and disadvantages. This method balances classical and individual learning, and uses a variety of songs to maintain student interest. However, some weaknesses that need to be considered are the longer time requirement, limited facilities, the need for trained teachers, and the challenge of adapting this method for students with varying abilities.

Abstract

The prank phenomenon has become a rampant trend among the millennial generation, especially in the realm of social media. Pranks are often thought of as a form of entertainment and humor, but in some cases, the practice can have a negative impact, including harming the other party both physically and psychologically. In Islam, there are limits to joking that emphasize honesty, ethics, and not harming others. This research aims to criticize various academic studies that discuss the phenomenon of prank in the perspective of the Qur'an. Pranks as a social phenomenon that develops in the digital era are often studied from various perspectives, including Qur'anic interpretation, hadith, psychology, and Islamic law. Using the library research method, this study evaluates the weaknesses and advantages of previous studies related to prank, especially in terms of methods, sources of interpretation used, and the relevance of the study in the modern social context. The results of the analysis show that most of the previous research is still limited to certain interpretations, lacks consideration of psychological and sociological aspects, and is minimal in discussing legal regulations related to pranks on social media. This study is expected to provide new insights in examining the phenomenon of pranks more comprehensively, taking into account a broader perspective in Islamic studies and social sciences.

Abstract

The low literacy rate of Indonesians was the background for the government to launch the School Literacy Movement (GLS) program in 2016 with the hope of improving students' literacy culture in schools. This study aims to determine the impact of one of the School Literacy Movement programs at SMPN 39 Bandung, namely the Three-Sentence Story Writing Training (Tatika) on the reading and writing interests of SMPN 39 Bandung students. The method used in this study is a qualitative method. Data collection techniques used were interviews with the principal and teachers as the implementing committee for the Tatika program, distributing questionnaires, and field observations. Based on the results of the study, with the holding of the "Three-Sentence Story Writing" training at SMPN 39 Bandung, there was an increase in the reading and writing interests of SMPN 39 Bandung students as seen from the increasing number of library visitors and the enthusiasm of SMPN 39 Bandung students in participating in writing competitions. Although there was an increase in the literacy of SMPN 39 Bandung students, students' reading and writing interests must be increased again as seen from the results of the student reading interest instrument.
