Abstract

The issue of education in pesantren has attracted considerable attention. As centers of religious learning, pesantren have produced many experts in the field of religion. This study aims to enhance the learning motivation of seventh-grade second-semester students at MTs Al Khoziny Buduran Sidoarjo through the implementation of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model, which emphasizes critical, analytical, systematic, and logical thinking in problem-solving. This model is expected to foster students’ motivation and scientific attitudes, with the teacher acting as a facilitator to guide students in the problem-solving process. This research is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in two cycles, involving 28 students as research subjects. Data on students’ motivation in learning Fiqh were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis. The results showed that in the first cycle, the average student score was 70 (categorized as sufficient), with an absorption rate of 70% and classical completeness of 50%. In the second cycle, the average score increased to 82 (categorized as good), with an absorption rate of 82% and classical completeness of 92%. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the Problem Based Learning model is effective in improving the learning motivation of seventh-grade second-semester students in Fiqh at MTs Al Khoziny Buduran Sidoarjo.

Abstract

This article critically interprets the intersection between prophetic Islamic values and the symbolic hegemony of dynastic power in Deli Serdang, North Sumatra. Despite procedural legality, the hereditary rule of the Tambunan family over two decades raises ethical and normative concerns. Through a qualitative case study involving document analysis, interviews, and field observation, this study finds that political communication in the region is heavily shaped by religious and cultural symbolism, which legitimizes power continuity while suppressing democratic deliberation and political regeneration. The research highlights that values such as rahmah (compassion), syura (consultation), and ?adl (justice) are often invoked rhetorically but rarely operationalized in governance practices. The study argues that Islamic political communication must transcend symbolic religiosity to promote openness, justice, and participatory leadership. Ultimately, this article offers a reinterpretation of Islamic political ethics as a critical framework to challenge symbolic domination and democratize local politics. It calls for a rethinking of democracy through Qur’anic values, exposing how structural stagnation is often disguised as political stability.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of prophetic communication values—?idq (honesty), sh?r? (deliberation), ?adl (justice), and ra?mah (compassion)—as a strategic approach to resolving local political conflicts in Labuhan Batu Selatan, North Sumatra. The research examines how these Islamic ethical principles are actualized by political actors, religious leaders, and civil society during the post-election period. Grounded in a qualitative case study design, the study draws on 12 in-depth interviews with key informants, including local government officials, clerics, NGO representatives, and community leaders. It also incorporates document analysis of local media coverage and election-related public statements. The study adopts a constructivist theoretical framework, emphasizing how actors interpret and enact moral-religious values within political discourse. Thematic analysis was employed to identify patterns in ethical and dialogical communication across multiple stakeholder groups. Findings reveal that while individual actors often internalize and express prophetic values in informal settings, formal political communication remains dominated by transactional and polarizing narratives. Religious leaders and civil society organizations serve as moral intermediaries, but their capacity is constrained by the lack of institutional mechanisms for dialogue and reconciliation. This study contributes both theoretically and practically. Theoretically, it offers a moral-ethical lens to the study of local political communication in pluralistic Muslim societies. Practically, it suggests that the integration of prophetic values into political discourse can promote ethical governance and strengthen social cohesion in post-electoral contexts.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of da'wah rhetoric on the understanding of national insight among Muslim millennials in Indonesia. In the context of rising social polarization and digital disruption, da'wah serves not only as a means of conveying religious teachings but also as a strategic medium for instilling national values such as tolerance, unity, and national identity. Contemporary Islamic preaching delivered through digital media by figures like Ustadz Hanan Attaki and Habib Husein Ja’far demonstrates the integration of religious messages with inclusive national narratives. This research employs a qualitative approach using thematic analysis, based on in-depth interviews with young Muslim audiences who actively engage with digital da'wah content. The findings show that contextual and participatory rhetorical approaches can enhance understanding and acceptance of national insight among the millennial generation. Rhetoric that touches emotional aspects, aligns with social realities, and uses language relatable to youth proves more effective in conveying nationalistic values. These findings highlight the importance of collaboration among preachers, religious institutions, and state bodies in designing da'wah strategies that strengthen social cohesion and national resilience. In the digital era, da'wah must evolve into a transformative force that not only provides spiritual guidance but also fosters a comprehensive national consciousness.

Abstract

This article examines how Islamic communication in Indonesia responds to the Palestinian crisis, highlighting the dynamic intersection of moral-religious values with domestic and international political realities. Using a literature review method, it analyzes key primary and secondary sources such as MUI fatwas, the communication strategies of Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah, and the media's role in promoting Islam Wasathiyah (moderate Islam). The study finds that expressions of solidarity with Palestine are rooted not only in Islamic principles like ukhuwah Islamiyah and universal justice, but are also influenced by pragmatic political and diplomatic considerations. The novelty of this research lies in its exploration of how prophetic values are translated into strategic, moderate public communication amid global crises. It offers new insights into value-based Islamic messaging as a form of transnational humanitarian advocacy, revealing how moral consistency is sustained within Indonesia’s complex media and political landscape.

Abstract

This study investigates the dynamics of gender negotiation and identity politics in shaping marriage registration practices in Deli Serdang, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative case study approach, it focuses on the interaction among religious authority, ethnic traditions—particularly within Malay and Batak communities—and state legal frameworks. The research finds that many unregistered marriages gain legitimacy through discourses of Islamic identity and customary norms, where women’s agency is often curtailed by structural factors such as economic dependence and entrenched patriarchal values. Religious leaders frequently prioritize syar’i legitimacy over civil legal recognition, influencing community perceptions and practices. Furthermore, state efforts to promote marriage registration—typically via religious sermons and administrative outreach—are largely top-down, failing to engage deeply with local sociocultural realities. In contrast, civil society actors such as the Congress of Indonesian Women Ulama (KUPI) adopt more inclusive and participatory communication models. KUPI’s approach integrates the ethical aims of Shariah (maq??id al-shar?‘ah) with constitutional legality, while simultaneously enhancing women’s roles in decision-making processes. This study emphasizes the need for dialogic, community-based communication strategies that align legal reforms with lived religious and cultural experiences, ultimately advocating for justice-oriented and gender-responsive marriage registration policies.

Abstract

This study explores the ambiguity of religious and political communication in Indonesia, particularly in the context of increasing drug trafficking, with a focus on Deli Serdang. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research involved in-depth interviews with religious leaders, community members, and local officials, combined with field observations and document analysis. These methods were conducted in urban and semi-urban areas affected by drug-related issues. The study reveals how Islamic values—such as honesty and compassion—are often manipulated by public figures, including certain religious leaders, to mask or legitimize criminal activity. This instrumentalization of religious symbolism highlights a disconnect between piety and ethical behavior, contributing to a broader moral crisis. Public trust erodes when religious rhetoric is not matched by integrity, weakening community resilience and the effectiveness of anti-drug initiatives. To address this, the paper proposes a transformative Islamic communication model that emphasizes ethical consistency, contextual relevance, and participatory engagement. It also calls for a redefinition of the role of religious leaders—not merely as moral spokespersons but as active agents of social reform. This study contributes to global discussions on religion and public ethics, drawing parallels with cases of symbolic manipulation in other Muslim-majority societies.

Abstract

This study explores the application of mujadalah principles argumentative yet ethical discourse derived from the Qur'an in the context of political debates, focusing on the 2024 North Sumatra gubernatorial election. The research investigates how Qur'anic values such as hikmah (wisdom), mau’izhah hasanah (good counsel), and jidal billati hiya ahsan (debate in the best manner) are manifested in candidate interactions during televised debates. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and thematic content analysis, the study analyzes debate transcripts and non-verbal expressions of the two candidate pairs. Findings reveal that while implementation of mujadalah remains partial, elements of respectful dialogue, rational argumentation, and emotional self-control were evident. These principles significantly enhance the quality of political discourse and foster public trust. The study concludes that embedding Islamic communication ethics in political practices is not only possible but necessary to elevate democratic culture in Indonesia. The integration of religious ethics into electoral debates contributes to more civil, substantive, and educational public dialogue.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the development of Islamic insurance (takaful) in Indonesia from a regulatory and institutional perspective since its inception in 1994. The study focuses on the evolution of legal frameworks governing Islamic insurance, the growth trajectory of Islamic insurance companies, and the development of their assets over time. Using a normative juridical approach, the research examines relevant statutory regulations, fatwas, and institutional policies to assess the extent to which the legal infrastructure has supported or constrained the progress of Islamic insurance in Indonesia. The findings indicate that while Islamic insurance has shown steady development, particularly in terms of asset accumulation and institutional expansion, its growth remains relatively limited when compared to the more advanced Islamic banking sector. Several regulatory and structural challenges, such as inconsistencies in legislation, lack of public awareness, and limited product innovation, continue to impede the sector's full potential. This article contributes to the academic discourse on Islamic insurance law by providing a comprehensive legal analysis of its development in Indonesia and identifying critical regulatory gaps that need to be addressed. The study proposes the need for regulatory reform to harmonize existing laws and strengthen institutional support mechanisms. In doing so, it aims to enrich the literature on Islamic insurance and offer practical recommendations for policymakers to enhance the legal and operational environment of the takaful industry in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study investigates how identity politics informs collective resistance to state authority, with a specific focus on the Polresta Deli Serdang in North Sumatra during a controversial drug raid. The objective is to understand how religious and ethnic symbols were mobilized to construct communal solidarity, trigger emotional escalation, and frame law enforcement as an external, even hostile, force. Using a qualitative case study method, the research explores how resistance emerged not as a spontaneous reaction but through deliberate symbolic narratives and the amplification power of social media. The findings show that such resistance was strategically nurtured, reflecting deeper tensions in a multicultural society. While the police employed humanistic communication strategies and sought collaboration with religious leaders, the outcomes were mixed, highlighting both the potential and the limits of symbolic engagement in crisis management. This study contributes to the broader discourse on public trust, symbolic politics, and cultural communication in security governance. It emphasizes the necessity of embedding legal enforcement practices within culturally sensitive and inclusive frameworks. The case of Deli Serdang reveals the complex intersections between identity, legitimacy, and authority in contemporary Indonesia.
