Abstract

Many primary school students continue to experience or engage in bullying at school, particularly verbal bullying such as insults and teasing. This behavior negatively impacts students' psychological well-being and learning processes. Teachers play a crucial role in preventing bullying through effective learning strategies and character education. This study aims to analyze teachers' strategies in addressing verbal bullying using a literature review approach. The findings indicate that effective strategies include: early identification of bullying behavior, implementation of anti-bullying programs, and reinforcement of core values such as empathy and responsibility, and strong classroom management. In addition, educational sanctions serve as an important deterrent. These strategies are essential in creating a safe and supportive learning environment for all students.

Abstract

The practice of arranged marriage involving young girls in the Bugis community of Mendahara Ulu reflects a complex intersection between cultural authority and religious values. This study explores the mechanisms of power embedded in Bugis arranged marriage traditions by applying Michel Foucault’s theory of power relations in conjunction with Islamic ethical principles. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research involved Bugis women who had experienced arranged marriages. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and a literature review, then analyzed using critical discourse analysis. The findings reveal that arranged marriage functions not solely as a cultural norm but as a contested arena of power among parents, customary practices, and the women themselves. Key Islamic principles—such as gender justice and mutual consent—are often marginalized or narrowly interpreted. The study argues for a more integrative approach that harmonizes local customs with Islamic values to promote women’s rights and agency. This research offers a nuanced perspective on how cultural and religious discourses shape the practice of arranged marriage in contemporary Muslim contexts.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of technology and the widespread use of social media have introduced new challenges for parents in guiding their children's moral development. This study explores the patterns of parental guidance in shaping children's morality within the context of social media use and examines its impact on their moral growth. Employing a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method, the research was conducted with parents residing in Citeureup Village, North Cimahi District. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, and then analyzed using data reduction, validation, and conclusion-drawing techniques. The findings reveal three primary patterns of parental guidance: preventive, persuasive, and collaborative. These strategies are actively utilized by parents to nurture their children's moral awareness in the digital age. The study concludes that parental presence and active engagement play a crucial role in children's moral development—particularly in shaping ethical behavior, social interaction, and a sense of responsibility—ultimately fostering more thoughtful and responsible digital citizens. This research offers valuable insights for parents, educators, and policymakers in developing effective strategies to support moral and character education in the digital era.

Abstract

This study explores financial management within Muslim families from the perspective of Islamic feminism, focusing on the thought of Amina Wadud, who emphasizes the principle of gender equality. In many traditional contexts, financial decision-making is predominantly controlled by husbands, while wives are largely confined to managing domestic expenditures. Such practices are often reinforced by patriarchal cultural norms and conservative interpretations of religious texts. Employing a normative qualitative approach with a library research method, this study analyzes Qur’anic exegesis, Islamic feminist scholarship, and academic literature on gender equality to identify values of justice and collaboration in family financial arrangements. The analysis demonstrates that Amina Wadud’s perspective supports a participatory model of financial management, in which both spouses are equally involved in planning, allocating, and deciding on household finances. This model reflects a more equitable framework and aligns with the ethical principles of justice within Islamic teachings. Women’s active participation in financial decision-making contributes to improved family well-being and greater household economic resilience. However, the persistence of cultural resistance and rigid religious interpretations remains a significant challenge. Therefore, this study underscores the importance of gender equality education, women’s empowerment, and policy reform as strategic efforts to promote justice and balance in the financial structures of Muslim families.

Abstract

Every individual aspires to a harmonious and nurturing family environment supported by both parents. However, in contemporary society, persistent gender stereotypes often position men primarily as breadwinners, while domestic and caregiving responsibilities are assigned almost exclusively to women. This imbalance has contributed to the growing phenomenon of fatherlessness, defined as a condition in which children experience the absence of a father figure either physically, psychologically, or both. Such conditions have increasingly affected children’s behavioral development. This study aims to examine the impact of fatherlessness on children’s behavioral development and to explore Qur’an-based guidance for addressing this phenomenon. Employing a literature-based research design with a psychological approach, data were collected through thematic analysis of relevant scholarly works and Qur’anic texts, and analyzed using a descriptive-analytical method. The findings indicate that fatherless conditions are associated with a heightened risk of behavioral problems in children, including tendencies toward deviant behavior and violations of social and legal norms. The Qur’an offers preventive and restorative guidance by emphasizing the importance of emotional bonding between parents and children, positive communication, and nurturing parental involvement. One recommended approach involves warm, affectionate, and enjoyable forms of communication—such as addressing children with positive and endearing expressions—which can foster strong emotional attachment and support healthy psychological development. This study contributes to the fields of child developmental psychology and Islamic family studies by providing a Qur’an-based framework for understanding and addressing fatherlessness within modern family life. It highlights the relevance of integrating religious ethical principles with psychological perspectives to promote balanced parental involvement and positive child development.

Abstract

This study examines the role of women in supporting household economic sustainability, as well as the enabling and constraining factors, through their involvement at the Puspa Nyidro Batik Home Industry in Magelang Regency, Central Java Province. Employing a qualitative research approach, the study involved five female batik workers and one manager as research participants. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The findings indicate that women perform three interconnected roles. First, the productive role is reflected in their participation in batik production, which contributes directly to household income. Second, the reproductive role is evident in their continued responsibility for domestic tasks, including childcare, spousal care, cooking, and household maintenance. Third, the social role is demonstrated through their active participation in community organizations, particularly the Family Welfare Movement (PKK). Despite their significant contributions, women face economic challenges, primarily low and unstable income due to fluctuating market demand. However, flexible working hours, prior batik-making skills, and strong family support serve as key driving factors that enable their sustained participation. This study contributes to the discourse on women’s economic roles in home-based industries by highlighting the intersection of productive, reproductive, and social responsibilities. It also underscores the importance of skills development and targeted economic support to strengthen the resilience of female workers in the informal sector.

Abstract

Dayah Diniyah Darussalam has provided a safe house for survivors of violence. This dayah, led by Teungku Inong, has consistently protected women and children who are victims of violence since 2000. Now the dayah has begun implementing ecological-based activities. The purpose of this study is to determine how the system of empowering women and children who are victims of violence with an ecotheological approach in Dayah Diniyah Darussalam. This study uses a qualitative method with a Descriptive Analysis approach. Data collection is carried out using observation, interviews and documentation searches. The results show that the ecotheological program at the Darussalam Diniyah dayah has been running since 2024. However, long before that, the Teungku at the dayah had provided study materials on ecotheology, environmental fiqh and the like. There is a program called Meulampoh Aneuk Beut ue Dayah (Meutuah). There are five Meutuah programs, namely Vegetable Gardening, Catfish Cultivation, Honey Cultivation, Bamboo Crafts and Waste Processing. However, there are still obstacles to implementing ecotheology-based dayah. First, some communities perceive dayah as a place for growing vegetables, not for reciting the Quran. Second, the Tengku Inong (indigenous people) still perceive negative views toward the program, even from highly educated individuals. Third, the environmental fiqh curriculum at Dayah Diniyah Darussalam has not yet been implemented. Fourth, government guidance and direction are still needed to realize ecotheology-based dayah.
