Abstract

This study examines the role of religious education as a foundational pillar in shaping students’ moral character in higher education. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving students, lecturers, and academic stakeholders. The findings reveal that religious education plays a strategic role not only as a source of moral values but also as a mechanism for internal control, moral filtering, and value integration in students’ academic lives. However, the study identifies a gap between students’ cognitive understanding of religious teachings and their actual moral practices, indicating that value internalization remains incomplete. The research further finds that core moral values such as integrity, responsibility, tolerance, and self-regulation can be effectively internalized through contextual, reflective, and experiential learning strategies. The integration of religious values becomes more meaningful when supported by consistent institutional culture, exemplary educators, and relevant pedagogical approaches. This study contributes a holistic framework for strengthening religious education as a transformative process, offering both theoretical and practical implications for developing morally grounded and socially responsible graduates in contemporary higher education contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the values of Islamic teachings within the oral tradition of Sinandong in Tanjungbalai. The study is motivated by the fact that Sinandong has generally been understood as a form of community entertainment, while the religious dimensions embedded in Malay culture have not yet been studied in depth. The study employs a qualitative field approach using observation, interviews, and documentation of Sinandong artists and the Malay community in Tanjungbalai City. The findings reveal that the Sinandong tradition developed under the influence of the Malay Sultanate and the role of ulama, who established Islam as the primary identity of the Malay community. In the social life of the Tanjungbalai community, Islam serves as a guide for thinking, behavior, and culture. Through its distinctive poetry, language, and rhythm, Sinandong conveys the values of tawakal (trust in God), ikhtiar (effort), obedience, patience, gratitude, and ethical living. This tradition also serves as a medium for entertainment, Islamic preaching, and education in instilling moral values, faith, and the habit of worship from an early age. This study confirms that Sinandong serves as a medium for the transmission of Islamic teachings that remains alive and continues to evolve within the Malay community of Tanjungbalai. The existence of this tradition demonstrates that local culture and Islamic values can coexist harmoniously and serve as a means of preserving Malay cultural identity for the younger generation amidst social change.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology and the increasing use of musical works for commercial purposes further underscore the urgency of regulating copyright and royalty systems in Indonesia. This study aims to examine the protection of music copyright based on the Indonesian Ulama Council Fatwa No. 1 of 2003 and its relationship with positive law, specifically Law No. 28 of 2014 and Minister of Law Regulation No. 27 of 2025. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method with a normative approach, supported by case studies and literature reviews to understand implementation in practice. The findings indicate that, from the Indonesian Ulama Council perspective, copyright falls under the category of huquq maliyyah (property rights), which possess economic value and must be protected. Therefore, infringements particularly those of a commercial nature without authorization e viewed as contrary to the principle of justice in Islam. Meanwhile, in positive law, copyright protection is strengthened through the role of institutions such as the National Collective Management Organization in managing and distributing royalties more systematically. Practically, this study underscores the importance of harmonizing Sharia principles with national regulations through increased transparency in royalty distribution, optimization of the performance of relevant institutions, and strengthening legal awareness among music industry stakeholders to create a fair and sustainable system in the digital age.

Abstract

Islamic Religious Education learning in the contemporary era faces major challenges in responding to globalization, where religion is expected to provide solutions to various social and educational problems. To address these challenges, learning activities were implemented through a STEAM-based approach supported by the Wayground digital platform. This study employed a qualitative method conducted at Madrasah Diniyah Fathul Ulum, Pacitan, East Java. The study aimed to describe the implementation of STEAM-based learning through the utilization of the Wayground platform in Islamic Religious Education instruction. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings showed that STEAM-based Islamic Religious Education learning could be effectively implemented in fiqh learning on the topic of understanding the qibla direction through practical activities involving the creation of a simple compass. STEAM elements were integrated through scientific explanations of Earth’s magnetic field, engineering activities in constructing the compass, artistic activities in drawing compass diagrams, and mathematical calculations for determining the qibla angle. The Wayground platform supported learning through interactive features such as video quizzes, presentations, and mix-and-match activities, which created a more communicative, contextual, and engaging learning environment.

Abstract

Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, particularly deepfakes and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), have given rise to the phenomenon of photo manipulation capable of producing ultra-realistic images of living beings. This phenomenon raises new issues in contemporary hadith studies regarding the legal status of AI-based photo manipulation from the perspective of tashwir. This study aims to analyze the legal status of AI-based photo manipulation through a thematic hadith analysis approach (tahlil maudhu’i). The research employs a qualitative, literature-based method (library research), with primary sources consisting of hadiths on tashwir found in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. Data were collected through hadith takhrij, documentary studies, and analysis of the opinions of classical and contemporary scholars. The results of the study reveal four main themes: al-mudhahah bi khalqillah, the context and purpose of use, al-shidq wa tahrim al-tadlis, and rukhsah. The study concludes that the ruling on AI-based photo manipulation is contextual. Manipulation that realistically produces a new image or contains elements of deception is deemed haram, whereas technical manipulation that does not alter the identity of the object and is performed for a specific benefit may be permitted under certain conditions.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Contextual Teaching and Learning model on students’ learning outcomes in the Islamic Religious Education subject at SMP IT Bustanul ‘Ulum. This study was motivated by students’ low cognitive abilities, particularly at the analytical level, due to instruction that remains dominated by conventional methods. The study employed a quasi-experimental approach with a posttest-only control group design involving two classes: an experimental class and a control class, each consisting of 30 students. The experimental class received instruction using the Contextual Teaching and Learning model, while the control class used conventional methods. The research instrument was a multiple-choice test that had passed validity and reliability tests, with a reliability coefficient of 0.867. Data analysis using the Mann–Whitney test revealed a significance value of 0.000, which is less than 0.05, indicating a significant difference between the two groups. The results demonstrate that the Contextual Teaching and Learning model effectively improves students’ learning outcomes, particularly their analytical skills. This study contributes to the development of more contextual, active, and meaningful learning strategies for Islamic Religious Education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence on addressing child abuse and domestic violence, as well as to examine its relevance to child protection regulations in Indonesia. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method using a literature review and a normative legal approach. Primary data sources include the Qur’an, hadith, Islamic jurisprudence provisions, Law No. 35 of 2014 on Child Protection, and Law No. 23 of 2004 on the Elimination of Domestic Violence. Secondary data were obtained from books, scientific articles, and various literature related to child abuse, family relations, and legal protection from both an Islamic and positive law perspective. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis techniques to identify and interpret the concepts of violence, child protection, family responsibility, and the principle of justice in Islamic jurisprudence. The research results indicate that Islamic jurisprudence rejects all forms of violence that harm the soul, dignity, and honor of human beings. Islam views children as a trust that must be protected, while the family must be built on the foundations of love, justice, consultation, and shared responsibility.

Abstract

This study examines the values of tolerance in the thought of Buya Hamka and their relevance to adolescent character education within the context of Islamic Religious Education. The study is motivated by the increasing phenomenon of intolerance, bullying, and moral degradation among Indonesian youth, which reflects a gap between the ideal objectives of Islamic Religious Education and contemporary social realities. This research employs a qualitative approach using library research methods. The primary sources consist of Hamka’s major works, namely Falsafah Hidup, Lembaga Hidup, Modern Sufism, and Tafsir Al-Azhar. Data were analyzed using content analysis with a philosophical and pedagogical perspective. The findings reveal that Hamka’s thought contains comprehensive values of tolerance, including tasamuh (forbearance), rahmah (universal compassion), justice (‘adl), and wasathiyyah (moderation), all of which are rooted in Qur’anic theological principles. These values are highly relevant for integration into Islamic Religious Education to foster tolerant, inclusive, moderate, and morally grounded adolescents. This study offers a conceptual framework for tolerance education based on Indonesian Islamic thought that is contextual and applicable to contemporary multicultural society.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze patriarchal culture from the perspective of female students at the Imam Syafi’i Islamic College in Jember and its implications for their desire to marry. The study was motivated by the persistence of patriarchal practices in domestic relationships, which often intersect with Muslim women’s religious understanding. The study employs a qualitative approach, collecting data through open-ended questionnaires administered to 15 active female students, supplemented by a literature review. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results indicate that patriarchal culture is manifested in the subordination of women, gender stereotypes, and unequal division of domestic labor—factors that potentially impose a double burden on women. However, the respondents did not view these practices as part of Islamic teachings but rather as social constructs of society. The main findings of the study indicate that the implications of patriarchal culture on the desire to marry are divided into three trends: a decrease in the desire to marry, a hesitant attitude, and a stable desire to marry. These differences are influenced by the respondents’ social experiences and their normative understanding of Islam.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the importance of outdoor learning environments in supporting the play comfort of young children, while the use of outdoor spaces in Islamic Early Childhood Education institutions often focuses more on providing facilities than on the quality of children’s play experiences. This study aims to describe how the outdoor learning environment at TK ABA 2 Sandaran plays a role in creating a comfortable play environment for children. The method used is descriptive qualitative research with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed using an interactive model through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the outdoor environment at TK ABA 2 Sandaran is capable of supporting children’s play comfort through the utilization of natural elements such as trees, soil, and open spaces, which provide freedom of movement, a sense of psychological safety, as well as motor and social stimulation. Furthermore, an open-environment-based learning approach also encourages children’s creativity, exploration, and social interaction in a more active manner. The implications of this study underscore the importance of optimizing the outdoor environment as a living laboratory that supports the holistic development of young children.
