Abstract

The formation of students' religious character faces challenges due to social and digital changes, so religious education is not enough to be done through conceptual learning alone; it also requires consistent habituation. At the Jambi Laboratory MA, congregational Zuhur prayers have become part of the religious culture of madrasas, but their effectiveness in internalizing religious character needs to be studied. This study aims to analyze the implementation, optimization strategies, internalization process, impacts, and factors that support and inhibit congregational prayer in building students' religious character. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation involving madrasah heads, teachers, religious activity coaches, homeroom teachers, and students. The validity of the data was strengthened through triangulation of sources and techniques, while the analysis used Miles and Huberman's interactive models. Congregational Zuhur prayers are carried out routinely and in an orderly manner through mandatory rules, supervision, monitoring, coaching, motivation, and providing religious understanding. Internalization takes place through three stages, namely obligation, habituation, and awareness. The main impact can be seen in increasing discipline, responsibility, obedience, togetherness, care, and awareness of worship. Optimizing congregational prayer is a strategy for building religious character if it is supported by continuous habituation, example, involvement of madrasah residents, and adequate facilities.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the level of public understanding regarding zakat on oil palm plantations in Merangin Regency and to analyze the strategies implemented by the National Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) in improving such understanding. Employing a qualitative approach with inductive and descriptive analysis, this research focused on field facts obtained from observations, interviews, and documentation, involving oil palm farmers and BAZNAS administrators as subjects. The findings indicate that low awareness among farmers is influenced by attitudes, knowledge, and income, where many prefer to distribute zakat directly to relatives or the needy rather than through official institutions, while limited knowledge and incomes below the nisab threshold further reduce compliance. Moreover, 93.1% (27 out of 29) farmers demonstrated understanding only at the basic level of translation, which affects their awareness in fulfilling zakat obligations. To address this, BAZNAS has adopted outreach strategies, including lectures, sermons, Ramadan safari programs, brochure distribution, zakat transfer services, and promotional campaigns, aimed at strengthening literacy and institutional participation in zakat management.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors that affect the growth of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Jambi City. The study focuses on three main factors: Islamic financing, Islamic financial literacy, and digital marketing. A quantitative research method was used with 100 MSME owners as respondents. The sample was selected using the Slovin formula and purposive sampling technique. Primary data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4 software. The results show that Islamic financing has a positive and significant effect on MSME growth. Islamic financial literacy also has a positive and significant effect on business growth. In addition, digital marketing significantly supports the growth of MSMEs. These findings indicate that access to Islamic financing, a good understanding of Islamic financial literacy, and the use of digital marketing are important factors for sustainable MSME growth. This study provides useful information for policymakers and Islamic financial institutions to improve financial education and provide better digital support for MSMEs.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the growing need for character-strengthening models for vocational students that emphasize not only technical competencies but also the development of religious character, integrity, responsibility, discipline, and social concern. Although various approaches to character education have been developed, research positioning experiential religious activities as a source of character learning remains limited. One activity with significant potential in this regard is the three-day khuruj conducted by Jamaah Tabligh, which incorporates educational practices emphasizing religious habituation, da'wah, discipline, cooperation, independence, simplicity, and the strengthening of social relationships. This study aims to reconstruct the Islamic educational values embedded in the three-day khuruj activity into a model for strengthening vocational students' character, using a qualitative case study approach conducted within a Jamaah Tabligh community that routinely engages in three-day khuruj activities. Participants included amir, khuruj participants, former khuruj participants, community leaders, and academics. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed interactively through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification, with credibility ensured through source, methodological, and time triangulation. The findings indicate that the three-day khuruj embodies Islamic educational values internalized through habituation, role modeling, direct experience, spiritual reflection, and social interaction—including sincerity, discipline, responsibility, independence, ukhuwah Islamiyah, social concern, simplicity, trustworthiness, leadership, communication, cooperation, self-control, istiqamah, and time management. These values were subsequently reconstructed into a character-strengthening model emphasizing direct experience as the core mechanism for sustainable character formation, offering a contextual and applicable approach to developing vocational human resources who are professional, possess integrity, and demonstrate noble character.

Abstract

This article examines the relationship between freedom of enterprise and economic justice in Indonesia’s constitutional order and Islamic economic law, arguing that Indonesian law recognises no unlimited, freestanding right to enterprise: enterprise freedom is constructed through the right to work and dignified livelihood, equality and legal certainty, property protection, economic democracy, environmental sustainability, and state duties toward vulnerable citizens. Islamic economic law contributes a substantive ethical vocabulary—?adl, maslahah, maq??id al-shar??ah, risk-sharing, the prohibition of riba, gharar and maysir, and the redistributive functions of zakat and waqf—whose justice claim depends on institutional performance rather than formal religious labelling. Using a normative-empirical legal method combining conceptual, statutory, case-study, historical, and comparative approaches (Wiratraman, 2019), the study analyses the 1945 Constitution, key statutory instruments, Constitutional Court decisions on electricity and water, and evidence on Islamic social finance, Islamic banking, Aceh’s Sharia economic legislation, and inequality. The findings indicate a conditional constitutional synthesis: enterprise is legitimate when it expands real capabilities and fair opportunity, and regulation is legitimate when lawful, proportionate, accountable, and directed toward public prosperity. The article proposes an integrated framework in which constitutional economic democracy and maq??id-oriented Islamic economic law mutually reinforce inclusive welfare within Indonesia’s plural legal order.
