Abstract

This article examines how social media exacerbates religious radicalization and explores strategic measures to address it through a religious moderation approach. The phenomenon of religious radicalization on social media has become a complex and challenging global issue. Social media, as a digital interaction space, provides a significant opportunity for the spread of radical ideologies by leveraging platform algorithms to quickly reach a wider audience. The research adopts a qualitative approach based on literature studies, analyzing scholarly journals, reports, and related literature on digital radicalization. The findings reveal that radicalization on social media is often amplified by echo chambers, a lack of digital literacy, and algorithms that promote extreme content. The resulting impacts include social polarization, increased intolerance, and threats to societal diversity. However, the religious moderation approach offers an effective solution through the promotion of inclusive narratives, enhancement of digital literacy, and collaboration among various stakeholders, including governments, religious institutions, and technology platforms.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the ethical principles in educational evaluation and assessment and the application of ethical evaluation in the context of Islamic education. The research employs a qualitative approach through literature reviews and interviews with Islamic Education teachers at SMKN 3 Banjarmasin, analyzing data from books, journals, and digital sources. The findings reveal that evaluation and assessment are crucial components in education for measuring student achievement and improving educational quality. These practices must adhere to ethical principles such as fairness, objectivity, and privacy. Fairness ensures that all students are treated equally without discrimination through transparent and unbiased evaluation tools. Objectivity emphasizes assessment based on concrete data, avoiding personal bias, and using clear assessment rubrics. Privacy involves protecting student data, limiting access to authorized parties, and respecting students’ rights to keep their information confidential. In Islamic education, these principles reflect the moral values of the Qur’an regarding justice and respect for individuals. Ethical evaluation fosters an inclusive learning environment and supports students’ holistic development.

Abstract

The quality of teacher-student interactions in Islamic Guidance and Counseling (BKI) plays an essential role in shaping students' learning interest, particularly in Vocational High Schools (SMK) that emphasize skill-based learning. This study, conducted at SMK Armaniyyah Bekasi, aims to explore the relationship between the quality of teacher-student interactions and students' learning interest in BKI. The main objective is to examine how factors such as communication, emotional support, trust, and empathy from teachers influence students' motivation and engagement in BKI learning. The research employs a quantitative approach with a correlational design, gathering data through questionnaires distributed to students at SMK Armaniyyah Bekasi to assess their perceptions of teacher-student interactions. Additionally, a qualitative approach was implemented through in-depth interviews to provide a more comprehensive understanding of students' experiences. The initial hypothesis suggests that improved teacher-student interactions lead to increased interest in learning BKI. The study's findings are expected to offer valuable insights for educators, helping them enhance their interactions with students and develop learning strategies that cater to both the academic and spiritual needs of vocational school students. Moreover, these results aim to contribute to the development of adaptive curricula and Islamic education practices within vocational education contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the meaning of the concept of al-‘ilmu in the Qur'an using Toshihiko Izutsu's semantic approach. The research focuses on three main dimensions: the basic meaning, relational meaning, and historical meaning of the term al-‘ilmu. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive analysis with syntagmatic and paradigmatic approaches. The research data were obtained from Qur'anic verses containing the term al-‘ilmu as well as classical references such as Mufradat Alfadz al-Qur'an by Raghib al-Asfahani and Lisan al-Arab by Ibn Manzur. The results show that al-‘ilmu has a basic meaning of knowledge and awareness. Relationally, al-‘ilmu is often associated with concepts such as hikmah (wisdom), huda (guidance), and taqwa (piety). Historically, the meaning of al-‘ilmu evolved from general knowledge in pre-Qur'anic societies to a concept encompassing theological, epistemological, and ethical perspectives in Islam. These findings contribute significantly to the study of Qur'anic semantics and the understanding of Islamic epistemology.

Abstract

State policy in terms of regulating income and expenditure is what is meant by fiscal policy. The state must regulate fiscal policy instruments in order to maintain economic stability and encourage economic growth. Islamic economics has its own philosophy which is fundamentally different from economic philosophy in terms of epistemology, ontology and axiology. These differences will have an impact on carrying out practical aspects of Muslims which include all economic aspects including fiscal policy.

Abstract

إن السفر جزء لا مفر منه في الحياة الإنسانية، سواء كان للعبادة والعمل والجاجات البشرية أو غير ذلك من الأغراض. وفي الإسلام أحكام مختلفة تُحكّم السفر، منها حكم سفر المرأة بدون محرمها. تُعَدُّ مسألة سفر المرأة بغير محرم من القضايا الفقهية التي دار حولها الجدل بين العلماء قديمًا وحديثًا. تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى تحليل فتوى مجلس الترجيح للجمعية المحمدية في سفر المرأءة بغير محرمها من منظور الإجتهاد التعليلي أو نظرية تعليل الأحكام الشرعية. وقد استنتج الباحث من خلال هذه الدراسة بأن مجلس الترجيح والتجديد التابع للجمعية المحمدية أفتى بجواز سفر المرأة بغير محرمها إذا كان يحقق الحاجات التي في تفويتها تفويتٌ لمصلحة المرأة والمجتمع، بشرط الاحتياط التام لمسألة أمن الفتنة، مراعاةً لواقع الفقه الاجتماعي، وعملا بنظرية تعليل الأحكام الشرعية، وأخذا بفقه الواقع المتمثل في تغير الفتوى بتغير الزمان والأحوال.
