Abstract

A peer group is an environment where people of the same age and status interact intensively and regularly. This environment can influence their academic achievement in both positive and negative ways. This also applies to 2nd-grade Tarbiyatul Mu’allimat al-Islamiyah (TMI) who often disturb their peers or talk too much during study hours, resulting in decreased concentration and unsatisfactory learning outcomes, with grades still below the passing standard. This article aims to determine how peers influence the learning outcomes of second-grade Tarbiyatul Mu’allimat al-Islamiyah (TMI) students at Al-Ikhlash Female Modern Islamic Boarding School. The research method used is quantitative, with a sample of 24 students from a total population of fewer than 30 students. Saturation sampling was used for sample selection, which is more appropriate in cases where the population is relatively small, specifically less than thirty. Data was collected through interviews using questionnaires. The research results show that peer influence is 53.7%, the coefficient of determination indicates an R Square value of 0.537, which indicates an influence of 53.7% between the peer variable (X) and the learning outcome variable (Y).

Abstract

This study aims to explore the meaning of patterns and symmetry in the Qur’an and the role of mathematics in the context of divinity and aesthetics. Using a qualitative approach with a phenomenological study design, this research involves scholars of Qur’anic interpretation, religious educators, and mathematicians who understand the relationship between mathematics and religion. A total of nine participants were selected through purposive sampling based on specific criteria: (1) academic or professional background in Qur’anic exegesis, religious education, or mathematics, (2) engagement in interdisciplinary discourse between science and religion, and (3) willingness to participate in in-depth interviews. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and textual analysis of the Qur’an using an interpretative approach. The findings indicate that patterns and symmetry in the Qur’an serve as aesthetic elements and representations of the order in God’s creation. Most participants perceive this order as evidence of God’s power in creating the universe with mathematical laws humans can comprehend. However, some perspectives view patterns and symmetry primarily as aesthetic interpretations that enrich the spiritual experience of Muslims. Overall, this study opens opportunities for integrating the understanding of patterns and symmetry in the Qur’an with mathematics education, allowing science and religion to be comprehended as a harmonious unity.

Abstract

The determination of prayer times is an important aspect of Islamic religious practices, typically approached through two methods: the traditional one based on the observation of the sun's position and the modern method using mathematical technology. This study aims to examine the shift in societal perspectives regarding prayer time determination based on Islamic Astronomy and the role of modern mathematical technology in influencing traditional authority. The research uses a qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews and document analysis. The study subjects consist of two groups: those who maintain traditional methods and those who adopt modern mathematical technology, with 40 purposively selected participants. The findings reveal that older generations tend to preserve traditional methods due to emotional and spiritual ties to religious heritage, while younger generations are more accepting of technology as a practical solution. Although technology facilitates the determination of prayer times, some people feel that its use diminishes the spiritual depth of the prayer experience. This study concludes that technology can serve as a supportive tool that enriches religious understanding without replacing the traditional values that exist.

Abstract

This study highlights various national issues, especially the increasing concern for moral degradation within society, affecting both ordinary citizens and the educated alike. This degradation manifests in prevalent acts such as student brawls, drug abuse, promiscuity, immoral acts, and even other unlawful behaviors like widespread corruption. Addressing these issues requires an approach rooted in local wisdom, one notable example being the local wisdom values of the Tidung tribe in North Kalimantan, which can serve as a foundation for developing character education in Indonesia. This research aims to explore the Tidung tribe's local wisdom values that can subsequently be implemented in developing character education based on Tidung local wisdom. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing primary data obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation involving customary figures, education stakeholders, teachers, and Tidung tribal community members. Data analysis involves data reduction, display, verification, and triangulation. The findings of this study indicate: ngejaga tengkayu (protecting the marine ecosystems), tenguyun (like to cooperate), suang bagas begambus kamad bagas inteladus (simplicity and independence), tulid dalom ukum (honesty), beadob de ulun tuo (manners to parents), bais penyawo (kind), impong de lunas insuway (having a high sense of solidarity), tetulu (life advice), and bepakot (deliberation). These local wisdom values of the Tidung tribe can form the basis for strengthening character education in Indonesia, especially in North Kalimantan.

Abstract

The globalization era with digital communication technology has led to a decline in social awareness within society. As agents of change, university students play an important role in building social concern through involvement in various activities. This research aims to examine the extent of influence that social activities have on the social awareness of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) students at UIN Sultan Aji Muhammad Idris Samarinda, who have demonstrated active participation in community service programs organized by HMPS PAI and the "Teman Panti" program by the EPIC community. This research employed a quantitative approach with correlational research design, while sampling was conducted using purposive sampling technique based on predetermined criteria. Data analysis included tests of normality, linearity, simple regression, correlation, coefficient of determination, and t-test to measure the influence and significance of relationships between variables. The research results demonstrate that social activities have a positive and significant effect on the social awareness of PAI students, with a significance value of 0.003 < 0.05 and t-count (3.156) > t-table (1.675). The correlation between the two variables falls in the medium category (Pearson Correlation 0.408), with social activities contributing 16.6% to students' social concern. These findings affirm the importance of social activities as an effective strategy in fostering social concern among university students.

Abstract

Khutbah is a lecture or speech delivered by a Khatib before Friday prayers, which is one form of Islamic preaching. The Khutbah material delivered by the Khatib typically responds to or addresses issues that are currently being discussed. This paper aims to examine the hadith in the Khutbah material delivered by Indonesian and Malaysian Khatib in responding to issues that are presently discussed. This research employs a qualitative comparative study model. The results of the study show that the hadith quoted by Khatib in Khutbah material in Indonesia and Malaysia vary, due to differences in issues. However, in general, the themes raised are similar, primarily concerning politics, socio-humanity, the environment, violence in the name of religion, and tolerance. This study also found differences in the freedom of preachers in the two countries. Servants in Indonesia have the freedom to create their own Khutbah scripts, while Malaysian Khatib must follow the official government script.

Abstract

This study examines polygamy from both comparative religious and socio-cultural perspectives and explores its perceived role in addressing female singleness in Yobe State, Nigeria. The research investigates the historical development of polygamy across major religious traditions and societies, including Judaism, Christianity, pre-Islamic Arab communities, and Islam, while assessing contemporary attitudes toward the practice within the Yobe State context. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, the study analyzes relevant religious texts, historical sources, and socio-cultural evidence concerning the regulation and practice of polygamy. Particular attention is given to the experiences and perceptions of unmarried women, including never-married women, divorcees, and widows. The findings indicate that polygamy has existed across diverse civilizations and religious traditions long before the emergence of Islam. Unlike many earlier practices, Islamic law introduced specific regulations and conditions governing polygamous marriage, particularly regarding justice and responsibility among spouses. The study further reveals that polygamy remains relatively accepted within the Yobe State community, although acceptance levels vary by gender, with men generally expressing more favorable attitudes toward the practice than women. Participants perceived polygamy as offering potential social, economic, and psychological support for some unmarried women, particularly widows and divorcees. However, the findings also suggest the need for careful consideration of gender relations, individual rights, and social welfare in contemporary discussions of polygamy. This study contributes to the literature on marriage practices, religion, and gender by providing a contextualized analysis of polygamy in northeastern Nigeria and highlighting the diversity of perspectives surrounding its social functions and implications.

Abstract

This study aims to explore Qs. an-Nur: 11 as the foundation of social interaction ethics in dealing with hoaxes in the digital age. Although the material context has been extensively studied in various legal-formal and psychological aspects, the author adds a philosophical-religious approach based on the Qur'an, which will later be contextualized. Using Jorge J.E Gracia's hermeneutical approach, this study traces the stages of analysis: historical function, meaning function, and implicative function. The results show that the basis of Qs. an-Nur: 11 reveals values relevant to building a critical-clarificatory culture and awareness of the protection of honor in both individual and collective aspects. Furthermore, the analysis highlights that the roots of hoaxes during the time of the Prophet Muhammad emerged from epistemic violence and a lack of information literacy, which are relevant to modern issues. This leads to the integration of Islamic history and modern issues, resulting in a transformative public ethics model, meaning that revelation serves as a source of values to strengthen moral resilience in an information ecosystem prone to manipulation.

Abstract

Indonesia is still faced with the challenge of poverty with the poverty rate reaching 9.22% in 2024, so zakat is an important instrument in the sharia economy to overcome this problem and support sustainable development. This research aims to identify challenges and opportunities to increase the role of national zakat institutions. This study examines the optimal role of national zakat institutions in poverty alleviation in Indonesia through literature research methods. With a descriptive qualitative approach, this study collects and analyzes secondary sources in the form of scientific articles, reference books and other relevant sources. The content analysis process is focused on three main dimensions: the mechanism of zakat distribution, the governance of zakat institutions, and the effectiveness of the mustahik empowerment program. The results of the study show that there are still many challenges faced by zakat collection institutions, for example, people who choose to distribute zakat directly without going through official institutions, as a result of which the great potential of zakat has not fully resulted in significant changes in poverty alleviation. This is due to the lack of transparency and accountability from the zakat collection institution, resulting in low public trust. In addition, the empowerment of mustahik has not been maximized is a challenge faced by zakat institutions in Indonesia. Based on these findings, this study recommends increasing cross-sector collaboration, strengthening the capacity of zakat institution resources, and utilizing information technology to realize a more inclusive and sustainable mustahik empowerment.

Abstract

Contemporary discussions on Islamic art often raise questions regarding the relationship between artistic freedom and religious commitment. This study examines how art is conceptualized within Islamic thought and explores the extent to which creative expression may coexist with religious values. Employing a qualitative literature review with an interpretive content analysis approach, this study draws upon primary Islamic sources, including the Qur’an and hadith, as well as classical and contemporary Islamic scholarship and academic literature on Islamic aesthetics. The analysis focuses on three dimensions: theological foundations of art, ethical boundaries of artistic expression, and the socio-spiritual functions of art in Islamic traditions. The findings indicate that Islamic perspectives do not reject artistic creativity; rather, art is understood as a meaningful cultural and spiritual practice guided by the principles of tawhid, morality, and social responsibility. The study argues that Islamic art represents a dynamic space in which aesthetic innovation and religious values are continuously negotiated. This research contributes to broader discussions in Islamic Studies by offering a conceptual framework for understanding the interaction between creativity, spirituality, and religious ethics in contemporary Islamic contexts.
