Abstract

The transformation of State Islamic Religious Colleges (PTKIN) into Public Service Agencies (BLU) demands financial independence while remaining grounded in efficiency and accountability. However, reliance on leadership figures and poor digital system integration often hinders achieving financial independence aligned with public welfare values. This study aims to construct a System-Driven Governance model at UIN Siber Syekh Nurjati Cirebon (UIN SSC), a pilot project for Cyber Islamic University, through the integration of Leadership, Control, and Digital Governance (SEM-PLS) to improve financial performance from a Maqasid Syariah perspective. This quantitative study employed Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS) analysis. A sample of 208 UIN SSC respondents was drawn using a disproportionate stratified purposive sampling technique. Primary data from the questionnaire was integrated with secondary data from Value for Money (VfM) analysis and treasury regulations. The results indicate that Digitalization and Internal Control have a significant impact on Financial Performance (p < 0.05). Conversely, Transformational Leadership does not directly impact financial performance, but it is a key determinant of the success of digital transformation and internal control maturity. This finding marks a deconstruction of the leadership role, shifting from a central figure to a system-reliable one. From the perspective of Maqasid Syariah (Islamic principles), optimal financial performance is a manifestation of Hifdz al-Mal (the principle of good governance), the efficient and accountable use of state finances and assets. Digitalization serves as an instrument of taysir (ease) that increases budget efficiency, while Internal Control ensures the principle of Amanah (accountability) for the benefit of the public (public value). The System-Driven Governance model offers a reconstruction of governance where oversight is embedded in digital platform algorithms, rather than the physical presence of leaders.

Abstract

This article examines the crisis of ethical, moral, and virtuous values in contemporary economic and trade practices, which are still prevalent in many regions of Indonesia. This crisis is marked by the neglect of public rights, deceptive and manipulative investment schemes based on speculation, and the commercialization that erodes the spiritual dimensions of economic actors. Phenomena such as the unilateral and coercive use of public spaces and facilities without regard for public access, economic and trading activities that neglect religious obligations, and the proliferation of investment schemes promising instant profits all indicate a significant moral and ethical degradation in economic (muamalah) practices. This study employs a qualitative method with a normative-philosophical approach, examining the thoughts of Al-Ghazali, Ibn Khaldun, and classical Islamic scholars (salaf) concerning ethics, morality, and virtuous conduct in economic activities. The findings reveal that trade in Islam is not merely about ensuring the smooth functioning of economic transactions or pursuing profit by any means necessary. Rather, it serves as a domain for moral and ethical formation, reflecting the ideals of Maqasid al-Shariah, particularly in the preservation of wealth (hifz al-mal), life (hifz al-nafs), and religion (hifz al-din). This article strongly emphasizes the urgency of reconstructing ethical economic and trade practices grounded in moral values and Islamic teachings as a foundation for sustainable economic development and social stability, both globally and particularly within the Indonesian contex.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of social interaction in the character development of preschool children in Sembalun Village, Lombok. The main focus of this research is to identify the impact of interactions with family, early childhood education (PAUD) institutions, and peers on children's character development. A qualitative approach with a case study method was used, involving direct observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the family plays a fundamental role in instilling core character values such as honesty, responsibility, and discipline. Additionally, PAUD institutions in Sembalun support character development through culturally-based approaches and group activities that promote empathy, tolerance, and cooperation. Interaction with peers also significantly contributes to social learning, where children learn to manage conflicts, share, and appreciate differences. This study emphasizes the importance of collaboration between families, educational institutions, and communities in supporting the early character development of children. The findings are expected to contribute to the development of early childhood education policies, particularly in rural areas with strong local cultural traditions.

Abstract

This classroom action research aims to improve the learning outcomes of fourth grade students of SD Negeri 4 Lahat Selatan in the subject of Social Studies on the material "Various Jobs" through the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model. The subjects of the study were 15 students. The study was conducted in three stages, namely initial learning (pre-cycle), cycle I, and cycle II. In the initial learning, only 40% of students achieved the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM) ? 65, while the other 60% had not completed it. After improvements were made to learning in cycle I, the percentage of completion increased to 67%, but had not reached the target for learning success. Further improvements were made in cycle II, by correcting deficiencies in cycle I, such as adding learning media. As a result, all students (100%) achieved scores above the KKM. The results of the study indicate that the application of the right Problem Based Learning learning model can effectively improve student learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study explores the critical perspective of Islamic Kalam (theology) on scientific secularism, a worldview that separates religion from scientific inquiry and public life. Using a qualitative literature review method, the research analyzes both classical and contemporary Kalam texts alongside modern critiques of secularism. The findings reveal that Kalam theology fundamentally rejects the dichotomy between religious knowledge and scientific knowledge, emphasizing the complementary relationship between divine revelation and human reason. Kalam scholars argue that secularism undermines the moral and spiritual values essential for holistic knowledge and societal well-being. This paper concludes that Kalam offers a robust epistemological framework to counter the challenges posed by secularism, promoting an integrated approach that harmonizes faith and reason in addressing modern scientific and social issues.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the mediating role of employee green behavior in the relationship between employee engagement and organizational sustainability. The research background is based on the importance of implementing environmentally friendly practices in the workplace as part of an organizational sustainability strategy, where employee engagement potentially enhances green behavior that impacts sustainability performance. A quantitative approach with a survey method was employed, targeting employees of PT. Tapian Nadenggan Tbk., which has implemented the ISO 14001 environmental management system. Data were collected using a 36-item questionnaire and analyzed through Partial Least Squares (PLS). The findings reveal that employee engagement has a significant effect on organizational sustainability (? = 0.469; p < 0.05) as well as on employee green behavior, which in turn significantly mediates this relationship (? = 0.480; p < 0.05). The R² results indicate that employee engagement contributes 27.3% to the formation of employee green behavior and, together with employee green behavior, explains 65.7% of the variance in organizational sustainability. These results highlight that employee involvement in environmentally friendly practices strengthens organizational sustainability performance. The practical implication suggests that organizations should integrate sustainability values into their work culture to achieve long-term sustainable performance.

Abstract

The phenomenon of instant hijrah has become a trend among young Muslim generations, particularly in the era of social media. Hijrah, which is essentially a deep spiritual process, is now often understood superficially as a change in outward appearance or participation in religious communities without a strong foundation in creed (?aq?dah). This shift is largely influenced by environmental factors, public figures, and social pressures that turn hijrah into a symbol of instant religious status. This context, the so-called popular creed lifestyle has also emerged, referring to the practice and understanding of Islamic values framed within pop culture trends and the commodification of religion. Islamic preaching through digital media, the use of branded modest fashion, and the viral spread of Islamic jargon without deeper meaning are all part of this dynamic. While this lifestyle influences how individuals express their religiosity, it often becomes trapped in symbolism rather than genuine spiritual transformation. This study aims to critically analyze how instant hijrah and the popular creed lifestyle influence the religious patterns of urban Muslim communities. Using sociological and theological approaches, the findings reveal that although these phenomena have the potential to positively spread Islamic values, there is a pressing need to reinforce a deeper understanding of ?aq?dah to prevent religion from becoming mere external identity. A critical awareness in undergoing hijrah and practicing faith is essential to preserve the sincerity of intention and spiritual quality in living a truly religious life.

Abstract

This study aims to formulate a conceptual approach to Qur'anic exegesis grounded in the epistemological framework of Ulumul Qur’an. Employing a qualitative method through literature review and conceptual-hermeneutic analysis, the research examines classical and contemporary Ulumul Qur’an texts alongside major tafsir works to evaluate the potential integration between Ulumul Qur’an disciplines and interpretative methodologies. The findings reveal that sciences such as asbabun nuzul (occasions of revelation), makki-madani classification, qira’at (variant readings), nasikh-mansukh (abrogation), and munasabah (intertextual relationships) serve not merely as auxiliary tools but constitute a systematic and relevant methodological framework for interpretation. This study proposes five stages in the conceptual approach: identifying the context of revelation, thematic-conceptual reading, integrating inter-verse relationships, historical verification through nasikh-mansukh analysis, and applying social relevance within contemporary contexts.

Abstract

Pesantren sebagai lembaga pendidikan Islam tradisional memiliki peran penting dalam membentuk karakter bangsa. Namun, di era modern yang ditandai oleh pesatnya perkembangan teknologi dan globalisasi, pesantren dituntut untuk memperkuat manajemen kelembagaannya guna meningkatkan mutu pendidikan Islam. Artikel ini membahas strategi manajemen pesantren dalam meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan melalui pendekatan modern tanpa menghilangkan nilai-nilai tradisional. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif melalui studi pustaka dan observasi terhadap pesantren yang telah melakukan inovasi manajerial. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa pesantren yang mengimplementasikan prinsip-prinsip manajemen modern seperti perencanaan strategis, tata kelola yang transparan, digitalisasi administrasi, dan pengembangan sumber daya manusia, mampu bersaing dan menghasilkan lulusan yang kompeten secara spiritual dan intelektual. Dengan strategi yang tepat seperti revormasi kurikulum, peningkatan kualitas SDM, pemanfaatan teknologi, dan penguatan system manajemen, pesantren pun mampu bertransformasi menjadi lembaga pendidikan yang unggul, adaptif, dan berdaya saing tinggi. Penggabungan antara nilai-nilai tradisional Islam dan pendekatan manajemen modern menjadikan pesantren lebih dinamis, inovatif, dan berdaya saing. Diperlukan dukungan dari pemerintah, masyarakat, serta lembaga pendidikan tinggi untuk terus mengembangkan kapasitas manajerial pesantren agar tetap menjadi pilar penting dalam pendidikan nasional.
