Abstract

This study examines how the Qur'an and Hadith provide a conceptual and pedagogical foundation for character education in Islamic education. While character education has gained increasing attention in contemporary educational discourse, limited studies have systematically connected classical Islamic sources with modern pedagogical frameworks. Employing a qualitative library research design, this study uses textual analysis and thematic interpretation of selected Qur'anic verses (QS Al-Baqarah 267–268; QS Al-'Alaq 1–5) and authentic hadith narrated by Bukhari and Muslim to identify key principles of character formation and instructional practice. The findings indicate that QS Al-Baqarah 267–268 promotes generosity, integrity, empathy, and psychological resilience, whereas QS Al-'Alaq 1–5 underscores the importance of knowledge acquisition, intellectual humility, and ethical learning. The analysis of prophetic traditions further reveals pedagogical principles, including gradual instruction (tadarruj), facilitation rather than complication (taysir), positive reinforcement, and systematic repetition to support learning mastery. These principles show strong conceptual alignment with contemporary educational perspectives, including differentiated instruction, mastery learning, growth mindset, and positive psychology. The study also highlights the collaborative roles of families, schools, and communities in fostering holistic character development. By integrating Islamic educational values with contemporary pedagogical theories, this study contributes to the literature on values-based education and demonstrates the continued relevance of Qur'anic and Prophetic teachings for developing learners who are intellectually capable, morally responsible, socially engaged, and spiritually grounded in addressing the challenges of the twenty-first century.

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-sharÄ«”˜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 ḥudÅ«d 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.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the legal construction of the ijarah contract implemented in the leasing practices of Basmalah Stores owned by Sidogiri Islamic Boarding School and to compare it with Islamic banking ijarah and Ijarah Muntahiya Bit Tamlik (IMBT) within the framework of Indonesian positive law. Previous studies have predominantly focused on ijarah in Islamic financial institutions, leaving community-based implementations within pesantren economic institutions largely unexplored. This study contributes to the development of a community-based Islamic economic model by integrating legal validity, socio-religious values, and economic empowerment into the conceptual framework of ijarah. This research employed a normative legal approach with a comparative design. Data were obtained from twelve legal and academic sources, including statutory regulations, the Compilation of Islamic Economic Law, DSN-MUI fatwas, and contemporary scholarly literature. Data were analyzed qualitatively through descriptive, comparative, and prescriptive approaches. The findings reveal that Basmalah Stores apply pure ijarah (ijarah al-manāfi”˜), characterized by the transfer of usufruct rights without ownership transfer. The contract fulfills the legal requirements stipulated in the Compilation of Islamic Economic Law, DSN-MUI Fatwa No. 09/2000, and the Indonesian Civil Code, with no indication of gharar, coercion, or unlawful purposes. Comparative analysis across eight aspects demonstrates that, unlike Islamic banking ijarah and IMBT, Basmalah’s ijarah emphasizes social welfare, community empowerment, and the sustainability of pesantren-based businesses. These findings position Basmalah’s leasing practice as a distinctive model of community-based Islamic economy that integrates legal compliance, social responsibility, and economic resilience.

Abstract

Early marriage remains persistent in Putri Betung District, where educational limitations, economic pressures, local cultural norms, and insufficient family readiness influence marriage decisions. This study analyzes the premarital counseling strategies employed by the head of the Putri Betung Religious Affairs Office (KUA) to prevent early marriage. A qualitative case study was conducted at the Putri Betung Religious Affairs Office in February 2026 using observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. Three informants were purposively selected, consisting of one head of the KUA and two Islamic religious counselors. The data were analyzed using an interactive model comprising data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, while source and technique triangulation were employed to establish credibility. The findings, interpreted through an adapted Porter’s Five Forces framework, identified five interconnected strategies: community education and outreach, marriage guidance, persuasive engagement with religious and community leaders, cross-sectoral collaboration, and individual-awareness development. These strategies were implemented through scheduled and incidental counseling activities and supported by coordination with village authorities, schools, health services, and community figures. However, their implementation was constrained by the cultural acceptance of early marriage, economic vulnerability, low educational attainment, limited reproductive-health literacy, extensive geographical coverage, and inadequate institutional resources. The findings indicate that these strategies were reported to strengthen public understanding of marital readiness, although the study did not measure a statistical reduction in early-marriage cases. Therefore, the reported outcomes should be understood as perceived improvements in knowledge, awareness, and institutional coordination rather than conclusive evidence of a reduction in early marriage.

Abstract

This study examines the contribution of Mualaf Center Indonesia Peduli (MCIP) to the social and religious empowerment of converts in Medan. Converts often experience limited religious knowledge, family rejection, psychological pressure, social isolation, and economic difficulties after embracing Islam. Using empowerment theory and social identity theory, this study analyzes how institutional guidance supports converts in developing religious understanding, social confidence, and independence. The research employed a qualitative field-study design at MCIP Medan. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with MCIP administrators and a convert who participated in the guidance program, and institutional documentation. The findings show that MCIP implements three stages of guidance: pre-conversion consultation, facilitation of the conversion process, and post-conversion mentoring. Religious empowerment includes basic Islamic education, practical worship guidance, regular study sessions, Qur’an learning, and dormitory-based mentoring. Social empowerment is provided through psychological support, social assistance, economic aid, business support, and skills development. These programs help converts strengthen their Islamic identity, improve their ability to perform religious practices, build self-confidence, and adapt to Muslim communities. However, program implementation remains constrained by limited funding, insufficient human resources, family resistance, and the prolonged adaptation process experienced by some converts. The study concludes that sustainable convert empowerment requires an integrated approach combining religious education, social support, economic assistance, and institutional collaboration.
