Abstract

Islamic Education and Moral Education in many schools, including Darut Taqwa High School, is still dominated by lecture methods, which result in low student participation and creativity. This condition encourages the need for more active and contextual learning innovations. This study aims to examine the strengthening of the creative dimension in Islamic Education and Character Education through the implementation of the Project-Based Learning model at SMA Darut Taqwa. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques consisting of observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of Project-Based Learning is able to increase student active involvement, encourage creativity, and produce original works that are relevant to daily life. Teachers act as facilitators who guide the learning process to be more meaningful and contextual. The implications of this study indicate the importance of teacher training to master project-based learning models and the need for school support to create a learning environment that supports character building and creativity in accordance with the objectives of the Merdeka Curriculum.

Abstract

The issue of the halal status of food ingredients, particularly Monosodium Glutamate, has sparked debate among Muslims due to its potential health implications. This study aims to analyze the halal status of Monosodium Glutamate from the perspectives of contemporary Islamic jurisprudence and health. Using a qualitative interdisciplinary approach, this study combines contemporary Islamic jurisprudence and health science to describe the legal status of Monosodium Glutamate and its effects on the body. The results indicate that Monosodium Glutamate can be categorized as haram Lil ghoyrihi (haram due to external effects), specifically its negative impact on health, in accordance with Islamic principles that protect the body and mind. This approach opens a dialogue between scholars and medical authorities and provides a foundation for determining the halal status of food. The implications of this study are the need for a balanced approach between medical considerations and Islamic law in determining the halal status of food ingredients. Public education about the potential health risks of Monosodium Glutamate is important so that Muslims can make wiser decisions regarding food consumption.

Abstract

This abstract aims to analyze the process of Islamic education reform in three Middle Eastern countries, namely Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey, which face challenges in balancing the preservation of traditional Islamic values and the need for modernization based on science and technology. This study uses a qualitative approach with literature review to explore educational policies and socio-political dynamics that influence the transformation of Islamic education in the three countries. The findings reveal that Saudi Arabia, through its Vision 2030, focuses on moderating religious teachings and reforming the curriculum to create a globally competitive generation. Egypt attempts to integrate Al-Azhar education with the secular education system despite facing epistemological dualism. Turkey strengthens Islamic education through Imam Hatip schools under a secular state framework. This study identifies that the success of educational reform is greatly influenced by political and ideological contexts and the readiness of human resources. The implications of this study include the importance of curriculum flexibility and teacher training to respond to the challenges of the 21st century.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the challenge of developing effective methods for Al-Qur’an memorization that produce fast and high-quality memorizers. The aim of this research is to compare the Al-Qur’an memorization methods implemented at Pondok Pesantren Darul Qur’an Amplas and Pondok Pesantren Sulaimaniyah Medan. The research adopts a qualitative comparative-descriptive approach, involving teachers, students, and managers selected purposively as subjects. Data was collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies, then analyzed through reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that Darul Qur’an uses a tasmi’ and muraja’ah collective method with a completion time of 2.5–3 years, which is effective in building a disciplined character. In contrast, Sulaimaniyah applies the Turkish Utsmani method with a tiered evaluation system that accelerates the achievement of 30 juz in 1–2 years, although it is less flexible for students with low motivation. The implications of this study suggest the need to integrate both methods and adjust the mentoring patterns according to the characteristics of the students to achieve optimal and high-quality memorization results.

Abstract

The decline in student motivation and discipline in learning after the Covid-19 pandemic has become one of the major challenges in Islamic boarding school-based educational institutions. Many students have difficulty concentrating and maintaining their enthusiasm for learning. In this context, this study aims to examine the influence of the habit of reciting the Thariqah Naqsyabandiyah wirid on the formation of learning character among students at the Al-Quran Al-Falah Islamic Boarding School Foundation in West Java. A quantitative correlational method was used, involving 39 final-year students. Data was collected through questionnaires measuring the frequency of wirid and learning characteristics, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation test. The results of the study indicate a significant positive correlation between the practice of wirid and improvements in learning characteristics, including religiosity, discipline, honesty, hard work, and humility. Additionally, wirid provides a calming effect that enhances focus and mental readiness. These findings emphasize the importance of spiritual routines in supporting character development. Implications suggest that educational institutions can integrate wirid practices as a strategy for character formation and mental strengthening among students, particularly to address the negative impacts of the post-pandemic period on learning quality.

Abstract

The phenomenon of quarter life crisis is increasingly prevalent among young Muslims in the digital age, which is fraught with demands for success, career uncertainty, and social pressure, causing existential anxiety and identity confusion. This study aims to explain the meaning of life purpose contained in the Qur'an Surah adz-Dzariyat verse 56 and its relevance to this phenomenon. The research method used is qualitative with a thematic interpretation approach. Data was obtained through literature review covering classical tafsir texts such as Ibn Katsir and al-Qurthubi, as well as modern tafsir works such as those by Quraish Shihab. Additionally, this study utilizes references from developmental psychology and logotherapy theories to enrich the discussion. The results of the study indicate that the concept of worship in the Qur'an Surah adz-Dzariyat verse 56 has a broad meaning, encompassing all aspects of human life aimed at seeking Allah's pleasure. This verse provides existential guidance for the younger generation in finding a clear, stable, and meaningful direction in life, thereby serving as a spiritual solution to the quarter-life crisis. The implications of this study are the need to strengthen spiritual literacy and contextual da'wah to help the younger generation deal with identity crises from a more transcendental perspective.

Abstract

The planned and systematic use of information and communication technology devices, media, and resources is essential to support effective learning in the era of globalization. The challenges of teaching Islamic Education at Yasmida Ambarawa Senior High School have prompted the need for technology-based innovation. This study aims to analyze the use of learning technology, particularly the interactive digital media Kahoot, in improving Islamic education learning outcomes. The research method employed a qualitative approach through observation, interviews with teachers and the school principal, and documentation of student learning outcomes. The results indicate that the integration of Kahoot in learning creates a more engaging, interactive, and motivating learning environment, encouraging students to participate actively. Improvements were observed in the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects of the students. Additionally, Kahoot's real-time feedback feature accelerates evaluation and improvement of students' understanding. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of enhancing teachers' competencies in educational technology, developing diverse digital media, and providing technological facilities in schools. The integration of educational technology has proven to be an effective strategy for improving the quality and outcomes of Islamic education in the present era.

Abstract

The relationship between teachers and students is an educational bond grounded in specific norms to achieve learning objectives. KH. Hasyim Asy’ari, as a prominent figure in Islamic education in Indonesia, devoted significant attention to this aspect, particularly through his work Adab al-‘Alim wa al-Muta‘alim. This study aims to describe the teacher–student relationship from KH. Hasyim Asy’ari’s perspective, focusing on his thoughts regarding the role of teachers, the role of students, the nature of their relationship, and its relevance to contemporary education. The research employs a library research method by examining primary literature as well as previous studies. The findings reveal that KH. Hasyim Asy’ari emphasized the importance of moral and spiritual cultivation, teachers’ exemplary conduct, students’ respect for their teachers, and the control of one’s desires. The teacher–student relationship must always be directed toward devotion to Allah, making the learning process not merely a transfer of knowledge but also the cultivation of character. The implications of this research highlight that KH. Hasyim Asy’ari’s moral and spiritual principles remain highly relevant to modern education, particularly in addressing the challenges posed by the rapid development of technology and information.

Abstract

This research examines the application of traditional games in supporting holistic early childhood development at Al Azhar Medan Model Kindergarten. Early childhood development is essential to shape physical, cognitive, social and emotional aspects. With the rapid development of digital technology, traditional games are often forgotten, even though they have proven benefits in child development. This research aims to explore how games such as jump rope, gobak sodor and congklak can improve motor, cognitive and social skills in early childhood. Using a qualitative approach and phenomenological method, data was obtained through interviews with teachers, parents, and children, as well as classroom observations. The results showed that traditional games have a positive impact on children's motor coordination, cognitive ability and social interaction. However, challenges such as limited time in the curriculum, lack of parental understanding, and limited resources were also found. This study suggests that traditional games should be further integrated in early childhood education to support more holistic development.

Abstract

The rapid digital transformation that is changing the academic lives of students, raises the need for digital literacy as a fundamental competency to compete in the technological era. However, many educational institutions, especially religious institutions in the regions, still face weaknesses in the systematic implementation of digital literacy. This study aims to explore the implementation of digital literacy in improving students' academic competencies at STAI Serdang Lubuk Pakam, with a focus on Islamic religious education. The research method used is a phenomenological approach to understand the experiences of students and lecturers in the use of digital literacy in the learning process. The results showed that digital literacy implementation strategies include digital task-based curriculum integration, lecturer capacity building, and collaborative learning. Despite barriers related to access and resistance to technology, the implementation of digital literacy succeeded in strengthening students' academic and religious competencies. The implications of this study provide recommendations for the development of inclusive access policies, continuous training for lecturers, and evaluations that pay attention to ethical aspects and religious values in digital literacy.
