Abstract

This research examines the negative impact of social media on religious understanding in the digital era and explores mitigation strategies that can be implemented. The objective of this study is to identify the forms of distorted religious understanding that arise from social media, analyze public responses to online religious narratives, and formulate mitigation strategies based on various social actors. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through literature review, participatory observation on social media platforms (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter), and semi-structured interviews with five informants consisting of religious figures, Islamic education teachers, and university students. The findings show that social media has become a dominant space for shaping religious understanding, yet often presents unverified and oversimplified content, leading to misinformation and symbolic radicalization. Public responses are polarized into two main tendencies: passive acceptance and critical selectivity, both influenced by the level of digital religious literacy. Mitigation strategies must involve individuals, religious communities, educational institutions, and the state, through systemic and collaborative approaches. In conclusion, mitigation efforts should not only reduce harmful content but also promote a reflective, tolerant digital culture rooted in moderate Islamic values. This study offers both conceptual and practical contributions to the effort of fostering a healthy digital religious sphere amidst the complexities of the information age.

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the implementation process of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) learning for fifth-grade students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Quhas Jambi. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving the fifth-grade homeroom teacher, students, the principal, and the vice principal for curriculum as research participants. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that the implementation of PjBL was carried out through planning, implementation, and project evaluation stages, which included students’ group collaboration, teacher guidance, and assessment throughout the project process. The application of PjBL had a positive impact on students’ activeness, creativity, and collaborative skills, although several challenges were identified, such as limited time, differences in students’ abilities, and inadequate learning facilities. The study concluded that PjBL had been implemented fairly well and supported the development of active and meaningful learning. This research contributes by providing empirical findings regarding the practical implementation of PjBL in elementary madrasah settings and can serve as a reference for teachers in designing more effective project-based learning. The implication suggests that teachers need to optimize guidance, time management, and the use of learning resources to enhance the effectiveness of PjBL implementation.

Abstract

This article analyzes the correspondence between the embryological stages described in the Qur'an and contemporary scientific findings through a comparative and analytical approach. The study focuses on the description of the stages of human creation in Surah Al-Mu'minun: 12–14, which includes the stages of nuthfah, 'alaqah, mudghah, and bone formation and flesh formation. This Qur'anic description is then examined by comparing it to the scientific classification of the processes of fertilization, implantation, somite formation, and organogenesis as described in modern embryology. This study attempts to demonstrate that although the Qur'an was not intended as a biological text, its step-by-step narrative has relevant conceptual correspondences with scientific findings, particularly in describing the gradual transformation of embryonic growth. Furthermore, this study emphasizes that the dialogue between interpretation and science should not be directed at forcing literal similarities, but rather at finding epistemological common ground that can enrich understanding of the Qur'an's message and contribute to the development of scientific interpretation studies. The results of the study show that a proportional comparative approach can open up space for constructive integration between the text of revelation and modern science.

Abstract

Advances in digital technology have driven transformations in the governance of zakat management institutions, including the National Zakat Agency (BAZNAS), which are necessary to improve the effectiveness and transparency of zakat fund management. This study aims to analyze the potential use of big data to support the management and transparency of zakat funds in the digital era at BAZNAS, Riau Province, and to identify challenges and implementation strategies. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis related to zakat information systems and management. The results show that big data has significant potential to improve the accuracy of zakat potential mapping, optimize fundraising and distribution, and enhance transparency and accountability through a publicly accessible, real-time digital reporting system. However, its implementation has not been fully optimal due to limitations in technological infrastructure, data integration between institutions, and human resource capacity in data analysis. Therefore, strengthening technological infrastructure, improving human resource competency, integrating data systems, and strengthening data governance and policies are essential. The contribution of this research lies in providing an empirical analysis of the strategic role of big data in zakat management at the regional level, particularly in the context of the digital transformation of zakat institutions. This research also provides a conceptual framework for integrating big data into the zakat management system, emphasizing transparency, accountability, and institutional efficiency. Furthermore, the findings can serve as a practical reference for zakat management institutions, particularly BAZNAS (National Agency for the National Development Planning Agency) in various regions, in designing strategies for utilizing digital technology to sustainably improve the quality of zakat governance. This study concludes that optimizing big data can promote more transparent, accountable, and sustainable zakat management in the digital era.

Abstract

This article examines the integration of the Zero Waste concept with the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) fatwa on waste management within the framework of maqasid al-syari'ah. Indonesia's waste crisis marked by rising generation volumes, over-reliance on final disposal sites, and low community behavioral change demands a preventive, value based paradigm beyond purely technical solutions. Using a qualitative library research method with normative-conceptual analysis, this study finds that the principles of Zero Waste are substantively consistent with Islamic environmental ethics embedded in the MUI fatwa, particularly hifz al-bi'ah (environmental preservation), the prohibition of israf (extravagance) and ifsad (corruption of nature), and the affirmation of collective communal responsibility. The MUI fatwa functions as a normative instrument that strengthens social legitimacy and drives behavioral change toward sustainable waste management. This integration offers a strategic approach for reinforcing waste-management policy, public education, and the formation of a religiously-grounded environmental culture in Indonesia.

Abstract

The Mukbang phenomenon digital content featuring the act of eating large portions has grown increasingly popular on social media and sparked a discourse on consumption ethics within digital culture. This study aims to analyze wasteful practices in Mukbang shows through the lens of Ibn Ajibah’s thought on the concept of “israf” (excess) in Islamic consumption ethics. This study employs a qualitative method using a literature review approach, analyzing the works of Ibn Ajibah, secondary sources on Mukbang, and several examples of Mukbang content analyzed descriptively. This study uses Quranic verses Al-A’raf 31, Al-An’am 141, and Surah Thaha 81 as objects of interpretation regarding the values of “israf”. The results indicate that, according to Ibn Ajibah’s perspective, excessive consumption not based on need or public welfare constitutes wastefulness and poses potential health risks. Furthermore, this study contributes to the development of Islamic consumption ethics in Qur’anic exegesis and emphasizes the importance of re-examining popular consumption practices to ensure they align with Qur’anic values and social responsibility in Islam.

Abstract

People pleaser behavior  is an individual's tendency to always please others at the expense of their own needs and interests. This phenomenon often arises due to social pressure, bullying experiences, demanding family parenting, and the need for social acceptance. These conditions can have an impact on mental health and loss of self-integrity. Therefore, the concept  of self-boundaries as a healthy self-boundary is needed as a solution so that individuals are able to maintain a balance between doing good to others and defending their own rights. This study aims to examine the conception of self-boundaries in the Qur'an as an effort to reduce the behavior of people pleasers. The research uses the library research method with a descriptiveanalytical approach and the maudhu'i (thematic) interpretation method. The primary data source is the Qur'an, while the secondary source includes books of tafsir such as Tafsir Al-Munir, Tafsir Al-Misbah, and Tafsir Ibn Kathir, as well as relevant psychological literature. The results of the study show that the Qur'an provides principles related to the formation of self-limits, including through an emphasis on sincerity of intention, personal responsibility, the prohibition of following social pressures without a basis in truth, and the encouragement to help in good without engaging in self-destructive deeds. Verses such as QS Al-Kahfi: 103–104, QS AlBaqarah: 195, QS Al-Maidah: 2, QS Al-Isra': 7, and QS Al-Muddatstsir: 38 shows that man must maintain the orientation of charity to the pleasure of Allah and be responsible for his own deeds. Thus, the concept  of self-boundaries in the perspective of the Qur'an can be the basis for building a person with integrity, able to socialize healthily, and not trapped in people pleaser behavior.

Abstract

Advances in information technology in the digital age have given rise to various ethical issues in communication, such as the spread of hoaxes, misinformation, and hate speech. These phenomena underscore the importance of applying the principle of information verification in social life. This study aims to examine the concept of akhlak tabayyun in the Qur’an through a maqasidi exegetical approach, as well as to explain its urgency in the formation of communication ethics. This study employs a qualitative method using a literature review approach, with the Qur’an and exegetical works as primary sources, supplemented by relevant scholarly literature. The results of the study indicate that tabayyun is not merely understood as a technical verification process but also as an ethical principle oriented toward the objectives of Islamic law (maqasid al-syari‘ah), such as safeguarding reason, dignity, and social stability. Therefore, the internalization of the values of tabayyun has become a fundamental necessity in facing the overwhelming flow of information in the digital age.

Abstract

Meritocracy is a system of placing individuals in positions or roles based on ability, achievement, and worthiness, not because of kinship, social status, or certain interests. This study aims to explore the interpretation of meritocratic verses in the Qur'an through Abdullah Saeed's contextual interpretation approach and analyze their relevance to the contemporary meritocratic leadership system. This study uses a qualitative method with a library research type. Primary data are in the form of Qur'anic verses related to meritocracy, while secondary data are obtained from Abdullah Saeed's works, tafsir books, books, journals, and relevant academic studies. Data analysis is carried out descriptively-analytically through Abdullah Saeed's four steps of contextual interpretation. The results of the study indicate that meritocracy in the Qur'an does not only emphasize ability and achievement, but also integrity, character, empathy, and moral responsibility. QS Al-Qasas [28]: 26 emphasizes competence and trustworthiness, QS Al-Isra’ [17]:84 emphasizes the suitability of roles to individual character, and QS At-Taubah [9]:128 presents a model of empathetic and compassionate leadership. Thus, meritocracy from the perspective of the Qur’an offers a leadership paradigm that is holistic, ethical, and relevant to contemporary organizational and governmental governance.
