Abstract

This study attempts to enhance the learning results of Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) by implementing an integrative learning paradigm with fifth-grade students in SDN 132/VII Sungai Bemban. The planning, execution, observation, and reflection phases of Classroom Action Research (CAR) were carried out. 27 students served as research participants, and learning outcome tests, observation, and recording were used to gather data. The study's findings suggest that using an integrative learning model can improve students' comprehension and involvement throughout the educational process. Both the percentage of learning completion and student learning outcomes rose with each cycle. Additionally, fifth-grade students' IPAS learning outcomes were successfully enhanced by the integrative learning model since it allowed them to connect it to real-world situations. Additionally, this model can serve as a substitute for contextual and creative teaching methods in elementary schools.

Abstract

This research was motivated by the lack of learning media capable of supporting active learning in science subjects in elementary schools. To address this problem, a learning medium was developed in the form of a worksheet (LKPD) using the RADEC (Read, Answer, Discuss, Explain, Create) model. This study used the Research and Development (R&D) method with a 4D development model, which includes the define, design, develop, and disseminate stages. The objectives of this study were: (1) to understand the process of developing a RADEC-based worksheet, (2) to assess the media's feasibility based on expert validation, and (3) to determine the media's level of practicality in supporting students' active learning. The results showed that the developed worksheet was considered feasible and very feasible. The language validation score was 75 (feasible), the material validation score was 82 (very feasible), and the media validation score was 85 (very feasible). Furthermore, the practicality test results showed that this media was very practical to use, with scores of 95 from teachers and 93.386 from students. Qualitatively, observations also show an increase in students' active learning, such as active participation in reading, discussions, explanations, and creative work. Therefore, the RADEC model student worksheets (LKPD) can be an effective learning medium for increasing student engagement and understanding in science learning.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the status of children born out of wedlock as addressed in Constitutional Court Decision Number 46/PUU-VIII/2010 and to evaluate the decision's alignment with the principles of maqasid al-shari'ah through the lens of the systems theory developed by Jasser Auda. This research employs a library research methodology with a normative-juridical approach. Primary data sources include Constitutional Court Decision No. 46/PUU-VIII/2010 and Jasser Auda’s works on maqasid al-shari'ah, while secondary data were gathered from relevant books, journals, articles, and research findings. Data analysis utilized the content analysis method, applying Jasser Auda’s six system features as the analytical framework: cognitive nature, wholeness, openness, interconnectedness, multi-dimensionality, and meaningfulness. The study finds that Constitutional Court Decision No. 46/PUU-VIII/2010 represents a progressive legal ruling that breaks away from the positivist-legalistic paradigm in marriage law. Based on the analysis using Jasser Auda’s six system features, the decision satisfies all maqasid al-shari'ah criteria: (1) it is grounded in the concept of istilhaq within Islamic law; (2) it provides protection and justice for children born out of wedlock; (3) it is responsive to changing times and avoids entrapment in binary classifications; (4) it considers maqasid 'ammah (general), khassah (specific), and juz'iyyah (partial) objectives; (5) it transcends binary opposition paradigms; and (6) it restores the objective of Islamic law to the public interest (maslaha). This research offers theoretical contributions to the development of contemporary Islamic law and provides practical insights for legal practitioners, policymakers, and legislators in formulating regulations that protect the rights of children born out of wedlock without conflicting with religious principles.

Abstract

The increasing divorce rate in Indonesia due to economic disharmony has prompted the urgent need for a study on the shift in marriage values among Generation Z. This study aims to analyze the influence of financial modernity on the perception of the ideal partner among Generation Z employees at PT Fajar Paper Wisesa Tbk, as well as to understand the concept of kafa'ah in Islamic marriage law, particularly the financial aspect. The method used is qualitative with a case study approach, conducted in January–February 2026 through in-depth interviews and participatory observation of five key informants who are Muslim employees aged 20–25 years. The results show that financial modernity has reconstructed the ideal partner standard into a financial partnership that prioritizes stable income, investment literacy, and financial technology (fintech) adaptability. Generation Z employees no longer interpret kafa'ah in terms of lineage or descent, but rather in terms of financial competence and career stability. From an Islamic law perspective, this shift is considered relevant because kafa'ah is dynamic in accordance with 'urf, is a manifestation of the al-istitha'ah requirement, and serves to maintain hifzh al-mal and hifzh al-nasl within the framework of maqashid sharia. However, unrealistic standards have the potential to complicate marriage, making sharia financial literacy a crucial solution.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the increasing number of public complaints regarding the neglect of reports by police officers, which has implications for obstructing access to justice, even though Law Number 2 of 2002 emphasizes the function of the Indonesian National Police as protectors, guardians, and public servants. This study aims to analyze the legal obligations of police officers in receiving and following up on public complaints based on Article 13 and Article 14 paragraph (1) letter g, the forms of legal accountability for the neglect of such complaints, and to examine them from the perspective of Islamic criminal law. The method used is normative juridical research with statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches, based on library research of legislation, academic literature, and sources of Islamic law. The results show that, normatively, police officers have an imperative legal obligation to receive and follow up on public complaints; however, the mechanisms of administrative, ethical, and criminal accountability for neglecting these obligations remain weak in practice. From the perspective of Islamic criminal law, the neglect of complaints is viewed as a violation of trust (amanah), contrary to the principle of justice (‘adl), and constitutes a form of wrongdoing (zulm) that may be classified as a ta’zir offense subject to sanctions. This study contributes to strengthening the normative and ethical foundations for enforcing police obligations in handling public complaints.

Abstract

This study examines the urgency of the principle of balance in the drafting of the Indonesian Consumer Protection Bill (RUU-PK). The principle of balance is essential to ensure fairness and legal certainty among consumers, business actors, and the government, especially in modern digital transactions such as e-commerce. Using normative legal research with a literature-based approach, this study analyzes statutory regulations, legal literature, and comparative cases. The results show that the principle of balance must be strengthened in the RUU-PK to address structural inequalities in the digital economy. A comparison between the current Consumer Protection Law (UU No. 8/1999) and the draft bill reveals that the RUU-PK seeks to clarify rights and obligations, introduce joint liability mechanisms, and enhance government oversight. The study concludes that the principle of balance is the foundation for a just, transparent, and sustainable trade ecosystem in Indonesia.

Abstract

Child adoption is a common practice in Indonesian Muslim society, including in Sungai Jawi Urban Village, West Pontianak, yet it frequently triggers legal issues regarding inheritance distribution. This study specifically aims to analyze how the community harmonizes adoption practices with normative constraints in faraidh principles to avoid inheritance conflicts. The research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design through a normative-sociological perspective. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews with ten informants who have adopted children. The results reveal that although the community possesses a strong understanding regarding the status of adopted children as non-heirs, there is a collective tendency to seek legal solutions through hibah (gifts) and wasiat (wills). These findings demonstrate that such mechanisms are chosen as a middle ground to guarantee the economic rights of adopted children while ensuring that property distribution remains aligned with Sharia law. Adoption is generally practiced informally within families, driven by social, humanitarian, and kinship considerations. These findings indicate a separation between emotional bonds in upbringing and normative faraidh provisions in wealth distribution. This study contributes to strengthening the understanding of how society negotiates Islamic legal norms with social realities, affirming hibah and wasiat as adaptive instruments in maintaining a balance between legal and social justice.

Abstract

Humans are humans themselves. as an 'abdullah and khalifah on earth who is equipped with reason by Allah to think and manage the universe in order to achieve happiness in this world and the hereafter. Islam does not prohibit humans from achieving it as long as it does not conflict with the concept of tauhidisasi, including the development of science and technology. This research seeks to find the relationship between religious concepts and the meaning of Islam to the concepts of humans and happiness, as well as their relevance in the development of science and technology. This research is a type of qualitative descriptive research using literature study methods and a philosophical approach. The data consists of primary and secondary data, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The research results found that: first, the concept of religion and the meaning of Islam towards the concept of humans and happiness are interconnected. Second, the concept of religion and the meaning of Islam regarding the concept of humans and happiness are very relevant in the development of science and technology. Islam leads the development of science and technology so that it does not discriminate between religions and opens up opportunities for humans to think about achieving happiness in this world and the hereafter by being grateful for what they have.

Abstract

The practice of unregistered polygamous marriage in Indonesia remains a fairly common social phenomenon, despite lacking official recognition by the state. The absence of formal marriage registration often gives rise to complex legal problems, particularly concerning the legal status of children born from such unions. Children born of siri polygamous marriages risk losing fundamental rights, such as inheritance rights, a clear legal identity, and state protection, because their parents’ marriage does not comply with applicable regulations. This study analyzes Supreme Court Ruling Number 233 K/AG/2020, in which the Supreme Court granted a petition to recognize a siri polygamous marriage on the primary ground of protecting the interests of the child, even though this clearly conflicts with Supreme Court Circular (SEMA) Number 3 of 2018. The research employs a normative-legal approach reinforced by two theoretical frameworks: Jasser Auda’s maqasid al-shari‘ah and the theory of restorative justice. The findings show that the ruling represents a form of progressive legal reasoning. The judge placed the protection of progeny (hifzh al-nasl) at the highest point in the hierarchy of maqasid, above formal procedural requirements. The study demonstrates that this judicial recognition of a siri polygamous marriage can be justified under both shari‘ah and Indonesian positive law, provided it is undertaken solely for the best interests of the child. These findings make an important contribution to the development of family law in Indonesia and underscore that protection of children’s rights must be the foremost priority in any legal consideration concerning their parents’ marital status.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze two main issues. First, how family maintenance (nafkah) is fulfilled by drug users who are heads of households during the law enforcement process at the Kepahiang Resort Police (Polres Kepahiang). Second, how Islamic family law reviews the fulfillment of such maintenance within the legal jurisdiction of Polres Kepahiang. This study employs an empirical juridical method with a qualitative approach, combining the analysis of Islamic legal norms with empirical facts in the field. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with law enforcement officers, families of drug users, and community leaders. The results show that the detention process for drug users has a significant impact on family economy. All informants (100%) working in the informal sector lost their primary source of income, resulting in difficulties in meeting food needs (100%), delays in children's education costs (60%), limited access to healthcare (40%), debt burdens (80%), and even the threat of school dropout (20%). From the perspective of Islamic Family Law, a husband's obligation to provide maintenance does not lapse even during detention. However, detention can be categorized as a uzur syar'i (legally recognized constraint) that causes the postponement of this obligation (muwassa') due to physical incapacity to work, in accordance with the Islamic legal maxim "al-masyaqqatu tajlibu al-taysir" (hardship brings ease). This study recommends the need for social intervention for affected families during the legal process.
