Abstract

This Study explores the integration of Al-Qur'an and Hadith as foundational sources for understanding and developing character education within Islamic pedagogy. Character education in Islam encompasses not merely moral texts but also serves as a comprehensive life-guidance system that shapes individuals' spiritual, behavioral, and social aspects. Through textual analysis and interpretation of selected Qur'anic verses (QS Al-Baqarah 267-268, QS Al-'Alaq 1-5) and authentic hadith (narrated by Bukhari and Muslim), this research examines how Islamic teachings provide a holistic framework for character development. The Study reveals that QS Al-Baqarah 267-268 establishes principles of generosity, integrity, empathy, and mental resilience, while QS Al-'Alaq 1-5 emphasizes the centrality of knowledge acquisition, intellectual humility, and ethical learning from Islam's inception. Furthermore, the analysis of prophetic traditions demonstrates effective pedagogical methods including gradual instruction ( tadarruj ), facilitation over complication ( taysir ), positive reinforcement, and systematic repetition for mastery learning. These authentic hadith, validated by renowned Islamic scholars, align remarkably with contemporary educational theories such as differentiated instruction, growth mindset, mastery learning, and positive psychology. The correlation analysis demonstrates that these Islamic pedagogical principles foster essential character traits, including empathy, optimism, perseverance, responsibility, critical thinking, and an orientation toward excellence. The Study emphasizes the vital role of family, school, and community collaboration in character formation, reflecting the prophetic principle of shared educational responsibility. Findings suggest that effective character education requires integrating spiritual values with practical pedagogical strategies, supporting teacher professional development, fostering school culture, and aligning with systemic policy. This research contributes to the discourse on values-based education by demonstrating how timeless Islamic teachings offer relevant, evidence-based approaches to developing the holistic character competencies required to address 21st-century challenges. The Study concludes that authentic Islamic pedagogy, rooted in the Qur'an and Sunnah, offers not only spiritual guidance but also practical, research-validated methodologies for cultivating students who are intellectually competent, morally grounded, socially responsible, and spiritually conscious.

Abstract

Recent studies on religion and environmental sustainability have highlighted the importance of local religious traditions in fostering ecological responsibility. However, studies of the Javanese Nyadran tradition have primarily focused on its cultural and ritual dimensions, leaving its ecological and theological significance underexplored. This study examines how the Nyadran tradition in Temanggung, Indonesia, embodies ecological ethics through the Islamic concept of gratitude (shukr). Drawing on Al-Ghazali’s theory of gratitude, which integrates al-'ilm (knowledge), al-hal (spiritual disposition), and al-'amal (ethical action), this research develops an ecotheological interpretation of Nyadran and its relationship to environmental stewardship. Using a qualitative approach and cultural hermeneutic analysis, the study interprets the symbolic meanings embedded in Nyadran Kali and Nyadran Makam through observations, interviews, and local cultural narratives. The findings reveal that Nyadran functions not only as a ritual expression of gratitude to God but also as a communal mechanism for cultivating environmental awareness and responsibility. Through practices that honor water sources, agricultural landscapes, and ancestral heritage, local communities express gratitude by preserving the natural environment that sustains their livelihoods. The study argues that Nyadran operationalizes the Islamic principles of khalifah (stewardship) and amanah (trusteeship), transforming gratitude from an individual spiritual virtue into a collective ecological ethic. By demonstrating how local Islamic traditions contribute to environmental sustainability, this research advances contemporary discussions in Islamic ecotheology and offers a culturally grounded framework for faith-based ecological conservation.

Abstract

Research in intercultural communication is still limited in examining how Islamic identity is negotiated in English-mediated academic interactions, particularly in digital academic spaces fraught with power relations. This study aims to explore how Islamic and cultural identities are negotiated through discursive practices, strategic visibility, and the dynamics of belonging and difference. Using a Digital Ethnography approach, this study involved 12 English Language Education postgraduate students. Data were collected through online class interactions, discussion forums, chat logs, and in-depth interviews, and analyzed iteratively through coding, thematic analysis, and discourse-oriented interpretation. The results show that identity is produced through discursive performance, negotiated through strategic visibility and silence, and structured by power relations that influence the legitimacy of expression. Furthermore, identity is also experienced through the dynamics of belonging and difference in digital academic spaces. This study concludes that identity negotiation is a multi-layered process mediated by language, constrained by academic norms, and experienced relationally. This study contributes to the development of identity negotiation in intercultural communication and offers implications for more reflective and inclusive digital academic practices.

Abstract

The appointment of ambassadors is crucial to a state's diplomatic effectiveness and representation in international forums. In Indonesia, the appointment of non-career diplomats to strategic ambassadorial positions has raised concerns regarding compliance with meritocratic governance and competency requirements. This study examines whether Indonesia's regulatory framework governing diplomatic appointments adequately ensures diplomatic competence and aligns with the principles of Siyasah Dauliyah. Employing normative legal research, the study uses statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches to analyze the 1945 Constitution, Law No. 37 of 1999 on Foreign Relations, Law No. 5 of 2014 on State Civil Apparatus, and Presidential Regulation No. 56 of 2021. The findings reveal that the existing framework grants broad discretion over ambassadorial appointments while lacking measurable, enforceable competency standards. This gap weakens the implementation of merit-based governance and may affect diplomatic effectiveness. Drawing on the principles of amanah (trustworthiness), kifayah (competence), and 'adalah (justice), this study proposes an integrated evaluative framework for diplomatic appointments. It argues that legal reform is necessary to establish objective competency benchmarks and transparent selection mechanisms for both career and non-career diplomats.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between the Qur’anic concept of ḥirābah and violent theft under Article 479 of Indonesia’s Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code. While previous studies have discussed ḥirābah from doctrinal, comparative, and contextual perspectives, they have not sufficiently clarified the limits of equivalence between ḥirābah and violent theft within Indonesian positive law. This article addresses that gap by employing a qualitative normative method and a functional-comparative framework. The analysis focuses on legal foundations, protected interests, elements of offense, public-security implications, structure of sanctions, and procedural safeguards. The findings show that ḥirābah and Article 479 KUHP overlap in their concern with violence, intimidation, protection of property, and disruption of public security. However, they differ significantly in legal ontology, scope, penal logic, and normative justification. Ḥirābah is framed as a grave offense against public order and social security, whereas Article 479 KUHP remains doctrinally anchored in the offense of theft aggravated by violence. Within maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, the punishment for ḥirābah is understood as a means of protecting life, property, and public security. Drawing on contemporary deterrence theory, the study argues that the effectiveness of punishment depends not merely on severity but also on certainty, consistency, proportionality, and procedural legitimacy. The article also addresses contemporary human rights concerns surrounding ḥudūd punishments, emphasizing due process, evidentiary safeguards, and protection against arbitrary enforcement. The study contributes an integrative model for reading Islamic criminal law and modern criminal law as distinct yet dialogical legal traditions.

Abstract

Biliteracy development during early childhood is increasingly recognized as an important educational goal in multilingual societies. While previous studies have highlighted the role of parental involvement in supporting children's literacy development, limited research has examined these practices through the lens of Islamic Family Education. This study investigates how Islamic Family Education is implemented through parental involvement and explores its contribution to early childhood biliteracy development in an Islamic elementary school. Employing a qualitative case study design, the research was conducted at an Islamic elementary school in Indonesia involving 52 first-grade students and their parents. Data were collected through biliteracy assessments, including Running Records, Deep Dive, Translanguaging, and Dictation Tasks, as well as semi-structured interviews with parents. The findings reveal that Islamic Family Education was enacted through literacy habituation, educational assistance and supervision, language support, and the creation of literacy-supportive home environments. These practices provided children with continuous opportunities to engage in literacy and bilingual learning beyond formal schooling. Assessment results showed that most students had reached the emergent biliteracy stage, with reading fluency representing the strongest dimension of biliteracy development, while translanguaging remained the most challenging. The study further demonstrates that parental involvement contributed to children's reading fluency, comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, phonological awareness, and emerging bilingual competencies. Theoretically, the study extends biliteracy research by conceptualizing parental involvement as an enactment of Islamic Family Education rather than merely a home literacy practice. It concludes that biliteracy development can be understood as an educational outcome of family-based Islamic educational practices and parental tarbiyah.
