<![CDATA[One of the biggest challenges faced by students is the ability to understand the essence and purpose of the learning process, including in physics subjects. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between spiritual intelligence and physics learning outcomes. The research method is a causal-correlational quantitative method. The data collection technique uses a spiritual intelligence questionnaire (SISRI-24) and physics learning outcomes in the form of mid-semester exam results. The sampling technique used is saturated sampling, namely the entire 12th grade population which is used as a research sample of 140 people. The instrument validity test uses product moment correlation and instrument reliability uses Cronbach's alpha. Spearman test statistical data uses SPSS version 27. The research findings show a positive correlation between spiritual intelligence and physics learning outcomes (r = 0.359). Analysis of the four dimensions of spiritual intelligence reveals that spiritual awareness has the most significant contribution (r = 0.396), followed by Critical Existential Thinking (r = 0.366), discovery of personal meaning (r = 0.226), and the conscious development (r = 0.210).]]>

<![CDATA[The purpose of education is the dominant aspect of education. Therefore, discussing Islamic Religious Education, both its meaning and objectives, must refer to the instilling of Islamic values (cultivating a sense of religion) and must not neglect social ethics or morality. Instilling these values also aims to foster success in life for students in this world, which will then be able to produce goodness in the afterlife. This research is field research, namely research conducted directly in the field or with respondents. The purpose of field research is to examine the issues raised in the research by conducting a review of the problem in real-life conditions. The results of the research conducted at SMP IT Hikmatul Ulum are that the instillation of Islamic character is instilled in the form of habits of praying at the beginning of prayer times, reading the Quran, memorizing short surahs, and saying greetings. Although in practice many students still have shortcomings in deepening these principles, educators strive to instill Islamic character in accordance with the guidance and guidelines of the implemented curriculum.]]>

<![CDATA[Learning the book Al-Fiyah Ibn Malik in Islamic boarding schools is one of the important aspects of Islamic religious education in Indonesia. This book, written by Ibn Malik, contains the basic rules of Arabic, especially in the fields of nahwu (grammar) and sharf (the science of word changes). In the context of Islamic boarding school education, learning Al-Fiyah not only focuses on mastering Arabic theory, but also becomes a means to deepen religious texts in Arabic, such as the Qur'an and Hadith. Therefore, the implementation of learning al-Fiyah in Islamic boarding schools has a very strategic role in improving religious understanding and Arabic language skills of students. This research is a combination of library research and field research. Learning Al-Fiyah Ibn Malik at the Hikmatul Ulum AsySyari'Fuddin Islamic Boarding School in Tasikmalaya City uses two methods, namely sorogan and bandongan. The obstacles faced during the learning process are: 1) difficulty in memorizing verses of poetry; 2) Time constraints; 3) Differences in student ability levels. Some of these obstacles are overcome with an individual approach and gradual teaching.]]>

<![CDATA[This research explores the evolution of money in Islamic civilization, from the dinar and dirham based on precious metals to the innovation of paper currency in the colonial era, and finally to the modern era with the advent of electronic money. Money, in the perspective of Islamic economics, is not only a medium of exchange, but also an instrument for maintaining economic justice and social balance. This study uses the literature method to trace the changes in the Islamic monetary system from the perspective of history and sharia law. The results of the study show that electronic money provides convenience and efficiency, but its legality aspects need to be carefully reviewed in the context of sharia. In addition, digital money brings new challenges related to volatility and speculation, which has led to debate among scholars regarding its validity in transactions in accordance with Islamic law. In an effort to seek clarity, a deeper study is needed to assess the potential and risks of digital money in the Islamic economic system.]]>

<![CDATA[This study analyzes the role of professional organizations, particularly the Subject Teacher Association (MGMP), in supporting career development and professional ethics among teachers at SMPN 4 Mataram. Faced with professional and educational demands, organizations like MGMP are vital for helping teachers improve their competencies through training, mentorship, and collaborative efforts. The findings indicate that MGMP plays a strategic role in enhancing teaching skills, reinforcing professional ethics, and providing solutions to instructional challenges. However, MGMP also faces challenges, such as limited resources and varied member participation. As part of development strategy, strengthening managerial support and increasing synergy between the school and MGMP are essential steps to maximize MGMP’s impact in supporting educators.]]>
