Abstract

This study aims to analyze the epistemology of tajwid science in the book Al-Ri'ayah of Imam Makki bin Abi Talib, including sources of knowledge, construction methodology, and validation criteria for tajwid rules. Using a descriptive qualitative literature research method, this study analyzes the primary texts of Al-Ri'ayah and supporting literature through textual-conceptual analysis with a philosophical-historical approach. The results show that Imam Makki built the epistemology of tajwid on four integrated sources of knowledge: authentic narration with clear sanad, empirical observation of speech organs and acoustic phenomena, rational analysis to reveal logical principles, and ijmaʾ of the imams of qiraʾah. The methodology of the presentation combines precise definitions, descriptions of practices, philosophical analysis, concrete examples from the Qur'an, and recognition of legitimate variations between reading traditions. The validation of the rules uses three objective criteria: internal coherence, correspondence to phonetic reality, and pragmatism in producing clear and sunnah-compliant readings. The epistemology of the Makki Imam demonstrates a model for integrating diverse sources within a coherent framework that can serve as a methodological reference for contemporary Islamic scholarship and can restore the philosophical dimension of tajwid lost in modern understanding.

Leadership plays a strategic role in shaping a positive work culture within educational settings. A positive work ethic is a crucial foundation for improving the performance quality of teachers and staff. However, challenges in implementing good work values, such as low motivation and lack of synergy among individuals, require an effective leadership approach. This study aims to analyze the role of school principals' leadership in fostering a positive work ethic. The research focuses on identifying leadership strategies applied, their impact on the motivation of teachers and staff, and the challenges faced in the process. This study employs a qualitative approach with data collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive techniques to uncover relevant leadership patterns. The findings reveal that the transformational leadership of school principals significantly contributes to building a positive work ethic. Strategies such as effective communication, recognition, and regular training successfully enhance the motivation and productivity of teachers and staff. Challenges encountered include resistance to change and resource limitations. This study recommends strengthening leadership training and improving supporting facilities to further enhance a positive work ethic within schools.

Abstract

In the educational process, of course, it cannot be separated from the teaching and learning process which requires interaction between teachers and students. In order to achieve the goal of Islamic education, namely to produce people who serve themselves to Allah SWT, it is necessary to have rules that accompany the interaction process between students and their teachers. Ethics in learning and teaching includes principles and values that teach about what is right and wrong. To explain this ethics, the main basis is Islamic ethics, which comes from the Al-Qur'an and As-Sunnah. Therefore, this research aims to explore the ethics of learning and teaching contained in the Al-Qur'an. This research discusses the ethics of teaching and learning according to the interpretation of Al-Maraghi Q.S An-Nahl: 125 and Q.s Al-Mujadilah verse 11. This research uses a qualitative approach and literature study as the analysis method. The research results show that the application of ethics in learning and teaching is a very important part of the learning process. Both educators and students involved in teaching and learning activities must respect each other and maintain ethics. Tafsir al-Maraghi, the work of a great scholar from Egypt, provides extensive insight into how to understand the Al-Qur'an in a social, political and cultural context. This journal examines the importance of ethics in learning and teaching tafsir, with a focus on thematic tafsir in the style of al-Maraghi. This research aims to identify the ethical values contained in al-Maraghi's tafsir.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the understanding of Pancasila values among young people in the digital technology era, focusing on a case study in Duman Village, Lingsar District, West Lombok Regency. The method used is qualitative descriptive research with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the level of understanding of young people towards Pancasila values tends to decline due to the influence of digital technology and global culture. However, digital media also provides opportunities to improve understanding of Pancasila values through creative content such as educational videos and social campaigns. The main challenges include the influence of individualistic culture, the spread of hoaxes, and lack of supervision in the use of social media. However, respondents showed awareness of the importance of implementing Pancasila values, such as mutual cooperation, tolerance, and social justice. This study emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive strategy that integrates digital technology to effectively convey Pancasila values to the younger generation as an effort to build national character in the digital era.

Abstract

This study examines the meaning of awliya’ in the official Indonesian Qur’anic translation published by the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag) across three editions: the Jamunu Edition, the 2002 Revised Edition, and the 2019 Revised Edition. It focuses on the diversity of Indonesian renderings of awliya’ across Qur’anic verses and investigates the factors underlying these translational variations, particularly in socially sensitive passages such as Q 5:51 (al-Ma’idah). The research employs a qualitative descriptive-analytic approach using library research. Primary data consist of the three Kemenag translation editions, while secondary data include classical and contemporary Qur’anic commentaries, Qur’anic semantic studies, and translation theory literature. Data are analyzed through thematic (maudhu‘i) exegesis, content analysis, and a semantic-contextual approach (Izutsu), taking into account siyaq al-ayah (textual context) and asbab al-nuzul (occasions of revelation). The findings demonstrate that awliya’ is polysemous, and therefore Kemenag adopts context-sensitive renderings such as leaders, protectors/helpers, close loyal friends, and allies. Differences across editions are shaped by (1) linguistic factors (polysemy), (2) verse context, (3) exegetical assumptions informing translation choices, (4) socio-political considerations and the discourse of religious moderation, and (5) an educational orientation toward non-specialist readers. The study concludes that translational variation can enrich readers’ understanding when supported by exegetical literacy, yet it may also generate misleading generalizations if read literally without contextual guidance.
