Abstract

The phenomenon of identity crisis among young Muslim men and women is increasingly worrying with the rapid flow of globalization and modernization. This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic education in fortifying the younger generation of Muslims against this identity crisis using a qualitative literature study approach. The results show that holistic Islamic education integrating cognitive, affective, and conative aspects can strengthen Islamic identity, build moral resilience, and foster a critical attitude towards external cultural influences. Islamic education also plays a role in the internalization of values and character formation. This study recommends strengthening the curriculum, contextual learning methods, and collaboration between families, schools, and communities in addressing the identity crisis of young Muslims.

Abstract

The food and beverage industry in Yogyakarta is dominated by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that possess high potential but struggle with improving employee productivity. This study aims to analyze the influence of the work environment and workload on employee productivity, and examine the moderating role of social support in the relationship between workload and productivity. The research was conducted from December 2024 to February 2025 involving 214 respondents selected based on specific criteria. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS version 4.1.0.9. The results show that the work environment does not significantly affect employee productivity. However, workload has a positive and significant effect on productivity. Meanwhile, social support does not moderate the relationship between workload and productivity. Productivity in Yogyakarta’s food and beverage SMEs is mainly influenced by workload, not the work environment or social support, highlighting the need for balanced workload management and structured recovery strategies.

Abstract

The Merdeka Mengajar (PMM) platform was developed as a support tool for teachers in understanding and implementing the Merdeka Curriculum. However, the utilization of this platform by high school geography teachers in Temanggung Regency is still relatively low. This study aims to: 1) evaluate the level of understanding of high school geography teachers in Temanggung Regency regarding the facilities available in PMM; 2) evaluate teacher planning in utilizing PMM to support the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum; 3) evaluate the implementation of PMM utilization in the Merdeka Curriculum implementation process; and 4) evaluate the results of PMM utilization in supporting the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum by high school geography teachers. This study is an evaluative study with a descriptive approach using the Discrepancy Evaluation Model (DEM). The variables studied include the level of understanding, planning, utilization, and results of PMM utilization in the learning process and assessment. The study population was all high school geography teachers in Temanggung Regency who have belajar.id accounts. The research subjects were 16 geography teachers from 11 schools. The results of the study indicate that: 1) high school geography teachers in Temanggung Regency have a good level of understanding of the PMM facility as a supporting tool for the implementation of the Independent Curriculum; 2) teachers have good planning in utilizing PMM; 3) the implementation of PMM utilization is in the sufficient category; and 4) the implementation of the Independent Curriculum by geography teachers is in the good category. These findings indicate that PMM is not yet fully effective as the sole learning resource in supporting the implementation of the Independent Curriculum, because teachers still utilize various other learning resources that contribute to their ability to implement the curriculum

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of halal certification as a state regulatory instrument in strengthening the competitiveness of sharia-based MSMEs in the global market. The focus of the study covers the role of halal certification as a state regulatory instrument. The method used in this study is a systematic literature review approach to identify, evaluate, and interpret all relevant studies related to halal certification, state regulatory instruments, and globalization in the halal industry. The results of the analysis show that the role of the state is not only limited to issuing halal certification regulations, but also includes strengthening the halal ecosystem as a whole. Support in the form of policy dissemination, certification cost subsidies, assistance for MSMEs, and synergy with Islamic financial institutions has been proven to contribute to accelerating the halal certification process and increasing the readiness of MSMEs to face global competition

Abstract

The growing complexity of socio-religious challenges in multicultural societies such as identity polarization, digital intolerance, and limited interfaith engagement calls for a transformative approach in Social Studies education. This study aims to develop and examine an integrative learning model based on Cross-Cultural Religious Literacy (CCRL) and the Love-Based Curriculum (LBC) to foster social transformation. Using a qualitative exploratory case study design, this research investigates the implementation of the CCRL-LBC module at Universitas Islam Negeri Datokarama Palu in collaboration with the Leimena Institute. The findings indicate that the model operates through three core competencies personal, comparative, and collaborative-integrated with Panca Cinta values and the Heart-Head-Hand framework. The model is enacted through experiential learning, interfaith dialogue, and community-based collaborative projects. It enhances higher-order thinking skills, cross-cultural religious literacy, empathy, self-awareness, and collaborative capacity across identities. This study highlights the integration of cognitive, affective, and social praxis dimensions within a transformative learning framework. It contributes theoretically to value-based transformative learning and practically offers an innovative model for multicultural Social Studies education, promoting religious moderation, inclusive citizenship, and sustainable social harmony.

Abstract

The religious condition of the millennial generation in the digital era is characterized by the openness of information, the intensity of social media use, as well as fatigue toward modes of Islamic teaching that are formal, rigid, and less communicative. One relevant approach to address this issue is Hans-Georg Gadamer’s hermeneutics. This study is a library research employing a qualitative approach, using the concepts of Wirkungsgeschichte (history of effect), pre-understanding, fusion of horizons, and application (Anwendung). The findings indicate that pesantren background, the oral culture of Madura, and Ismail’s engagement in the digital sphere shape a productive pre-understanding that gives rise to a strong adab? ijtim?‘? exegetical style, marked by contextual bi al-ra’yi interpretation and a popular–humorous tone. Surah al-Ikhl?? is read as a critique of the phenomenon of “semi-gods” and ego-idolatry; al-Falaq is interpreted as a “fissure” in the dynamics of life and as a critique of envy and competition in social media culture; while al-N?s is understood as a response to whisperings, inner anxiety, and the psychological pressures of the digital age. Thus, The Qur’anything presents a model of popular Qur’anic exegesis that bridges the authority of pesantren tradition with the spiritual and psychological needs of the millennial generation, while reaffirming the Qur’an as a living text that remains relevant to contemporary religious problems.

Abstract

Spiritual education in Indonesia, including in Lombok, occurs not only within formal settings such as schools but also becomes internalised within local cultural traditions. One such tradition is Bejeleng within the Sasak Muslim community in Lombok. Bejeleng is a sacred tradition of coconut oil production imbued with spiritual, social, and moral values, which have been passed down through generations. This study adopts a descriptive ethnographic method over a period of two years (2023–2024) with a participatory observation approach, in-depth interviews with 10 key informants consisting of religious leaders, organisers of the tradition’s events, and participants, as well as visual and audio documentation at Pondok Pesantren Thohir Yasin, East Lombok. The research identifies seven main dimensions of spiritual education: worship and purity within ritual processes, reinforcement of collective belief, cross-generational involvement in spiritual activities, the social and medical function of oil as a medium of learning, discipline and perseverance in ritual practice, belief in spiritual power, and the transmission of spiritual values across generations. These seven dimensions form three conceptual pillars of spiritual education: religious transcendence, collective socialisation, and the transfer of knowledge and character. The Bejeleng tradition serves as an effective social learning space for internalising spiritual values and organically building community solidarity. This finding enriches the understanding of non-formal Islamic education rooted in local culture by emphasising social interaction and collective practice as the primary media for spiritual learning. The study also suggests the development of an adaptive, inclusive Islamic education model that is rooted in local socio-cultural contexts. The limitations of this research include its focus on a local community and context-specific qualitative data; therefore, further studies with a comparative approach and quantitative methods are recommended to expand the validity of the findings and geographical coverage.

Abstract

This research explores the ecological crisis in Indonesia caused by uncontrolled land conversion, such as deforestation for housing, industry, mining, and palm oil plantations. Every five seconds, the world loses a forest area equivalent to a football pitch, with Indonesia recording the second largest loss of primary tropical forest globally. This phenomenon not only leads to climate instability and natural disasters but also triggers economic shifts and a human spiritual crisis. The urgency of this research lies in the lack of Islamic discourse specifically addressing land conversion as a theological issue that touches on ethical and practical aspects. The aim of this study is to examine the concept of isti’mar (prospering the earth) in the Qur’an as a theological mandate for humanity to restore environmental balance. This qualitative research employs a thematic interpretation approach, integrating Aldo Leopold's land ethic environmental theory and Paul W. Taylor's biocentrism. The findings indicate that isti’mar demands a paradigm shift from human dominance to a partnership relationship with nature. This study proposes an Ecological Restoration Movement through two approaches: renaturalisation, which involves restoring land to its natural condition, and ecological adaptation as compensation for irretrievable land changes. In conclusion, isti’mar serves as a theological foundation for ecological restoration, guiding humanity in fulfilling its role as a steward of the earth through moral and ethical land management.

Abstract

In the digital era, Islamic preaching (da‘wah) has increasingly evolved through the interaction between established religious practices and modern communication technologies. This study examines Tuan Guru in Lombok who integrate digital media into their preaching strategies while maintaining traditional da‘wah practices, as well as the challenges arising from this process. Using a qualitative approach based on Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), the study explores the experiences of seven Tuan Guru who have actively adopted digital tools in their religious outreach. While previous studies on digital da‘wah have largely focused on platforms and content strategies, this study offers new insight by highlighting the lived experiences of Tuan Guru in Lombok as they negotiate digital transformation while sustaining traditional religious authority and local cultural values. The findings reveal three main strategies through which traditional and digital preaching are combined: transforming sermon delivery, reconfiguring religious authority, and adapting local cultural values to digital contexts. At the same time, this integration is shaped by several constraints. The use of digital media for da‘wah remains limited by inadequate technological infrastructure, especially unstable internet access in many rural areas of Lombok, reducing the reach and consistency of online preaching activities. Moreover, the shift from individual preaching to team-based content production requires new forms of coordination and technical skills. Ethical concerns also emerge in maintaining the accuracy and authenticity of religious messages in fast-moving digital spaces. These findings show that Tuan Guru in Lombok must balance technological adaptation with preserving core religious values in their preaching practices.
