This finding confirms the crucial role of the Abbasid Dynasty in building the foundation of Islamic intellectual civilization that is influential to this day.

There are two main reasons for this study, (a) media has become a boomerang in islamophobia, (b) lack of public awareness in digesting messages through social media so that it causes discrimination, prejudice, and hostility. This study was phenomenology approach of qualitative study. The findings reveal; (1) Education can create people more critical. (2) Institutions and schools can reduce bias and stereotypes through an inclusive curriculum that emphasizes human values. (3) Education can humanize humans. Further, islamophobia occurs in our society due to the fact that they consume information directly without re-checking whether the information is true or false. It can be conclude that the media as a power is also often a fire that makes people confused about which side they should consider right, therefore through education, the community can be invited to think critically.

Abstract

Islam offers a profound ethical framework for addressing the global environmental crisis through its core values of tauhid (divine unity), khalifah (stewardship), and maslahah (public welfare). This study examines how these Islamic principles guide ecological conservation and promote sustainable practices grounded in the Qur’an and Sunnah. By conducting a thematic literature review of classical Islamic texts and contemporary scholarship, the research highlights the religion’s emphasis on maintaining mizan (natural balance) and condemning israf (wastefulness). The findings reveal that Islamic teachings position environmental preservation as both a spiritual duty and a communal responsibility, urging moderation in resource use and advocating for justice in ecological interactions. Examples such as Indonesia’s green waqf initiatives and Morocco’s renewable energy projects illustrate the practical application of these values in modern sustainability efforts. However, challenges such as consumerism and lack of religiously-grounded environmental awareness hinder progress. The study concludes that integrating Islamic ethics into education, policy, and grassroots activism can empower Muslim communities to lead in global conservation. By framing environmentalism as worship, Islam provides a holistic paradigm for harmonizing human needs with planetary health, aligning with its vision of rahmatan lil ‘alamin (mercy to all creation).

Abstract

The global economic and financial crisis has shown negative impacts on both humans and the environment. Green growth has become a solution proposed by the OECD to create sustainable development by integrating resource efficiency and environmental impact reduction. In Indonesia, despite rapid economic development, there is often an imbalance with environmental preservation. The concepts of Green Economy and Circular Economy offer more inclusive and sustainable approaches to address these issues. From an Islamic perspective, the principles of Fiqh Al-Bi'ah and maqashid sharia can strengthen the implementation of these concepts to maintain a balance between the economy and the environment. This research uses the library research method by collecting, analyzing, and organizing information from relevant literature such as books, scientific journals, articles, and reports related to sustainability and green economy. The sources obtained were then evaluated for their credibility to delve into the relationship between Green Economy, Circular Economy, and Islamic principles in environmental management, particularly in the rice milling industry. This study found that the implementation of the Green Economy and Circular Economy concepts has the potential to reduce environmental impacts in Indonesia, especially in the rice milling industry. However, the main challenges are inadequate infrastructure and a lack of public awareness. The integration of Islamic principles, such as Fiqh Al-Bi'ah and maqashid sharia, can strengthen the sustainability of green economy implementation by emphasizing the balance between economic growth and environmental preservation.

Abstract

Parenting style is a key factor influencing child development, particularly during early childhood. This study aims to explore the impact of inconsistent parenting on the socio-emotional development of young children at TKN 1 Bandar Laksamana. The findings indicate that inconsistency in the application of discipline and rules at home creates confusion for children, leading to heightened anxiety, difficulties in emotional regulation, and poor social skills. Children raised in inconsistent environments tend to struggle to form healthy relationships with peers and adults, and often exhibit withdrawn or aggressive behaviors. The study also highlights the importance of collaboration between parents and teachers in supporting child development, as well as the need for educational programs to raise parental awareness regarding the importance of consistency in parenting. Ultimately, it is hoped that children can grow up in a stable and supportive environment that enables them to reach their full potential in both social and academic spheres.
