Abstract

Gendered constructions of the father's role result in a lack of fathers' attention and care for children and domestic duties. This research is deemed urgent given the importance of fathers' roles in parenting and household activities. This study will examine verses that suggest fatherhood in depth, including its elements: emotional closeness, provision, protection, and endowment. This article presents interpretations of classical scholars considered gender-biased, then a feminist interpretation is presented as a gender-just interpretation to create equality and mutuality in childcare, furthermore allowing for the exchange of roles in household chores. The purpose of this reinterpretation is none other than to achieve the maqashid sharia, because times are always changing while the Qur'an is a guide for humans and is relevant at all times and places. This article is included in the type of qualitative research with a literature study approach. The results found that there are verses related to the concept of fatherhood that are still gender-biased, thus requiring a feminist interpretation lens as a response to create a more gender-just interpretation. With a feminist interpretation lens, fathers can spend more time with their families, both in childcare and sharing household chores with mothers (wives).

Abstract

The division of inheritance in Islamic law provides different shares between sons and daughters, where sons receive twice the share as daughters. However, this division is considered fair from an Islamic perspective, which views that justice does not always mean mathematical equality, but rather the granting of rights in accordance with the responsibilities and social roles of each individual. In Islamic society, men have a responsibility to provide for the family, so a larger share of inheritance is considered part of their economic responsibility. In contrast, women do not have the same obligations, and therefore, they are given a smaller but sufficient inheritance share to meet their personal needs. This article aims to analyze the principles of justice in the distribution of inheritance according to Islamic law, with a focus on differences in inheritance rights between boys and girls using library research research methods. This discussion will also examine the gender perspective in the distribution of inheritance, by criticizing what this system is. is still relevant to the concept of gender equality developing in modern society. The results of the analysis show that even though this distribution is unequal in number, the principles of Islamic justice still apply by providing rights in accordance with the social and economic obligations of each gender. In the modern context, some contemporary thinkers propose a reinterpretation to create a better balance between social justice and gender equality.

Abstract

WhatsApp is a conversation application that is widely used as a communication medium between students and lecturers in an academic environment. When using WhatsApp, you need to pay attention to appropriate communication etiquette. The guide used in this research is the communication ethics guide at Mataram University. The aim of this research is to examine the ethics of communication between students and lecturers via the WhatsApp application, especially for first semester students of the Pancasila and Citizenship Education Study Program (PPKn) FKIP, Mataram University. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative and data collection is carried out through observation, interviews and documentation. The results of the research show that there are still violations of communication ethics among PPKn 1st semester students at Mataram University, such as not paying attention to time, not introducing themselves, using impolite language, and sending repeated messages (spam). The problem of violations of communication ethics is caused by students' lack of understanding about good communication ethics and their urgent needs in lectures. Therefore, there needs to be an emphasis on the importance of implementing communication ethics in order to create harmonious relationships in the educational environment. It is hoped that the results of this research can become a reference in increasing awareness of communication ethics among students.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the impact of negative content on the cognitive abilities of grade VII students at SMP Negeri 1 Mataram. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method, with data collection through interviews, observations, and documentation. The subjects of the study were grade VIII students at SMP Negeri 1 Mataram. Negative content, such as false information, violence, and hate speech, can affect students' concentration and critical thinking skills. From interviews conducted with 76 students, the level of exposure to negative content and its impact on academic performance were determined. The results showed that most students experienced decreased concentration due to exposure to negative content and many students showed difficulty in critical thinking. Factors such as the duration of digital device use and lack of digital literacy were also found to influence the level of impact. This study emphasizes the importance of the role of teachers and parents in supervising students' content consumption, as well as the need for digital literacy education to improve the ability to sort information. Thus, it is hoped that students can reduce exposure to negative content and optimize their cognitive abilities to achieve better learning outcomes.

Abstract

Human beings, basically, have a tendency to do things that like virtuous values, but in the process of their development, human beings are greatly influenced by their environment, Allah Himself has outlined that in human beings there is a tendency in two directions, namely actions that deviate from the rules and those that obey the rules. Man also has the tendencies mentioned above, he also has the freedom to choose between two paths, namely the right and the wrong. Therefore, humans can be wrong in choosing and judging a good deed, due to the lack of knowledge, the environment. Considering the possibility of human error or mistake in choosing and judging good deeds, Allah teaches people about goodness by mentioning and informing through the Qur'an which was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (saw) in several terms. Among these terms are the word ihsan and term Prophet Muhammad (saw) in several terms. Among these terms are the word ihsan and other terms. To be more in-depth about the Qur'an's insight into ihsan or goodness, this paper will discuss the Qur'an's insight into ihsan or goodness.

The data collection technique used is library research. The author's findings, that there is no statement from the scholars of interpretation stating that childfree is an act that is contrary to Islamic law (haram), Faqihuddin Abdul Qodir said that childfree can be analogized with marriage, meaning the desire not to have children cannot be judged to the point of being haram.
