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.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the role of the Sharia Bank Indonesia Certificate (SBIS) in controlling the liquidity of Sharia banking in Indonesia. The research method employed is qualitative with a literature review approach, sourcing data from various relevant references. The primary focus of this study is on the liquidity management of Sharia banking, utilizing data from national journals indexed by Google Scholar and Sinta. The findings indicate that SBIS plays a crucial role in the liquidity risk management of Sharia banking operations. Sharia banks invest their funds in SBIS to mitigate liquidity challenges, leveraging this instrument to avoid potential financial strain. The study demonstrates that SBIS can significantly enhance the stability and resilience of the Sharia banking sector. This is particularly evident when SBIS is integrated into a bank’s overall liquidity risk management strategy, complemented by efficient monitoring and evaluation mechanisms. Consequently, SBIS is established as a vital instrument for Sharia banks to maintain liquidity equilibrium, ensuring more stable and sustainable banking operations. The study underscores the importance of SBIS in reinforcing the financial health of Sharia banks, advocating for its strategic incorporation to bolster overall banking stability
