Abstract

This research examines the concept of human creation according to Tafsir Al-Jawahir by Tantawi Jawhari, a commentary that combines interpretation of the Al-Qur'an with a scientific approach. This tafsir highlights how the Qur'an explains the creation of humans through several stages, starting from the earth to becoming perfect creatures. The process of human creation includes the phases of germfah (semen), alaqah (a clot of blood), mudghah (a clot of flesh), bone formation, and the impregnation of the spirit that brings human life. Tantawi uses the "tahlili" exegetical method, which emphasizes in-depth and comprehensive explanations of the meaning of Al-Qur'an verses, and links them to modern science such as biology and embryology. This research also shows that Tantawi includes elements of science in his interpretations, such as images of plants, animals and natural phenomena, to strengthen the reader's understanding of the process of human creation.Through this approach, Tantawi wants to show that there is no conflict between the Koran and science, in fact the Koran precedes science in explaining many natural phenomena. This study employed a qualitative method with a literature review approach, with the primary data sources being the Tafsir Al-Jawahir and other secondary sources. The results revealed that Tantawi successfully connected the concept of human creation in the Qur'an with modern scientific theories, ultimately demonstrating God's greatness and power in the creation of living things.

Abstract

The Contextual Teaching and Learning approach is one of the approaches implemented at MTs Miftahul Huda, a private school located in a village. Many factors, especially religion, influence students, so teachers use this approach to make it easier for students to understand and implement learning materials. This study aims to determine the application of the contextual approach in Islamic studies learning and the factors that influence it. The method used is a descriptive qualitative case study, with the principal, vice principal for curriculum, Islamic religious teachers, and students as data sources. The results show that the implementation of the contextual approach at MTs Miftahul Huda is running well. Islamic religious teachers have implemented this approach according to its aspects and components. Factors that support the successful implementation include a supportive classroom atmosphere, student enthusiasm in learning, and the availability of learning media. However, there are several inhibiting factors, such as the persistence of teachers who do not understand the theory of the contextual approach, unstable students' cognitive aspects, and limited learning time.

Abstract

The Islamic Education Curriculum is an important aspect in achieving the goals of Islamic Education, like a heart in the human body, if the heart is healthy, the body will feel healthy, the curriculum is good, the material will be delivered well, the success or failure of an Education goal will certainly depend on the curriculum used, the Curriculum as an Education design has a central role in the realization of Islamic Education, and determines the implementation process and results of Education, so what is meant by the Islamic Religious Education curriculum is a conscious and planned effort in preparing students to know, understand, appreciate, believe in and practice the teachings of Islam as a whole, the Islamic Education Curriculum must also be appropriate and directed at students in stages, for example, the adjustment of the Islamic Religious Education curriculum for children is certainly different from the Islamic Religious Education curriculum for adolescents.

Abstract

Research is inseparable from research instruments. A good instrument is one that is valid and reliable. Validity means the instrument can be used to measure what it is supposed to measure. Validity refers to how well a test or tool measures what it is supposed to measure. Reliability refers to the extent to which the results of a measurement can be trusted. Validity and reliability are two crucial concepts that determine the quality of a measurement instrument. The purpose of this study was to determine the importance of validity and reliability in research for decision-making. This research method used library research from various materials such as reference books, previous similar research results, articles, and notes related to validity and reliability. The results showed that validity and reliability play a crucial role in research: improving the integrity of research results, ensuring proper data interpretation, being essential for decision-making based on research results, increasing confidence in research results, and without reliability, validity becomes questionable.
