Abstract

Communication is a fundamental element in the success of Islamic education because it influences the quality of interaction between educators and students. However, communication practices in educational settings often do not fully reflect Islamic moral values. This study aims to analyze the principles of communication ethics in Q.S. An-Nahl verse 125 and their relevance to teachers’ social competence in the modern educational context. This research employs a qualitative approach using library research and thematic interpretation (tafsir maudhu’i). Data were collected through the study of the Qur’an, classical and contemporary tafsir, books, and relevant scientific literature. Data were analyzed through content analysis by identifying, classifying, interpreting, and synthesizing the principles of communication contained in the verse. The findings show that Q.S. An-Nahl: 125 emphasizes three main principles: al-hikmah (wise communication), mau’izhah hasanah (good and persuasive advice), and mujadalah billati hiya ahsan (dialogue conducted in the best manner). These principles strengthen teachers’ social competence and provide a foundation for ethical, respectful, persuasive, and conducive communication in Islamic education.

Abstract

This study examines the role of principal leadership in improving the performance of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers at SMA Negeri 1 Medan, one of the leading public senior high schools in North Sumatra. The study employed a qualitative field research approach with descriptive analysis. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed to identify patterns of leadership practices and their contribution to teacher performance. The findings indicate that the principal implements transformational leadership through transparent communication, continuous academic supervision, facilitation of professional development, and motivational support. These leadership practices contribute to improvements in teachers’ lesson planning, instructional strategies, classroom engagement, and student learning achievement in PAI. The study also highlights the contextual significance of examining PAI teacher performance in a high-achieving public school, an area that has received less attention than Islamic boarding schools and private madrasah settings. The study concludes that collaborative, visionary, and supportive principal leadership plays an important role in strengthening PAI teacher professionalism and performance. The findings imply that effective school leadership should integrate supervision, professional development, communication, and motivation as complementary strategies for improving the quality of PAI instruction.

Abstract

This article examines the transformation of the Islamic educational system from the classical period to the modern era through a pedagogical perspective, focusing on the continuity and change of educational principles, institutions, and learning practices across historical epochs. The study is grounded in the recognition that Islamic education has undergone significant structural and epistemological shifts in response to sociopolitical, intellectual, and technological developments, raising questions regarding how these transformations have reshaped pedagogical orientations and educational objectives. Employing a qualitative library research design with a historical-pedagogical approach, this study analyzes classical and contemporary scholarly works, historical records, and relevant academic literature to trace the evolution of Islamic educational traditions. The findings reveal that while classical Islamic education emphasized the transmission of religious sciences through teacher-centered instruction in institutions such as kuttab and madrasah, modern Islamic education has increasingly incorporated scientific knowledge, learner-centered pedagogies, curriculum integration, and digital technologies. Nevertheless, core Islamic values, including moral cultivation, spiritual formation, and holistic human development, remain enduring foundations across periods. The study argues that the sustainability of Islamic education in the contemporary era depends on its capacity to harmonize classical intellectual heritage with innovative pedagogical practices responsive to modern educational challenges.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze errors in the articulation points (makharijul huruf) when reading the Qur’an among students at Madrasah Pertubuhan Kebajikan Al-Muhibbin, Melaka, Malaysia, particularly in relation to their native language accents. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation of students’ Qur’anic reading activities, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that students’ native accents influence their ability to pronounce several Arabic letters correctly. The errors mainly occur in distinguishing and articulating letters that have similar points of articulation, particularly letters requiring precise positioning of the tongue, lips, and throat. Differences in linguistic backgrounds contribute to difficulties in producing Arabic phonemes that are not present or are differently pronounced in students’ native languages. These findings indicate that learning Qur’anic reading requires focused instruction on makharijul huruf, repeated pronunciation practice, teacher correction, and attention to students’ linguistic backgrounds. Therefore, understanding the influence of native accents is important for developing more effective Qur’anic reading instruction and improving students’ accuracy in pronouncing Arabic letters.

Abstract

Educational organization management plays a strategic role in determining the effectiveness, efficiency, and quality of educational institutions. In the context of increasingly dynamic global changes, educational institutions face various challenges, including weak governance, limited coordination among organizational levels, and ineffective human resource management. This study aims to analyze the implementation of educational organization management principles, including planning, organizing, directing, and controlling, in supporting the development of professional and competitive educational institutions. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach through a literature review of relevant books, scientific articles, and previous research on educational organization management. The findings indicate that effective planning provides a clear direction for institutional development, organizing ensures the appropriate distribution of roles and responsibilities, directing strengthens coordination and motivation among organizational members, while controlling ensures that institutional activities remain aligned with established objectives. The integration of these four management functions contributes to improving organizational effectiveness, optimizing human resources, strengthening institutional governance, and enhancing the competitiveness of educational institutions. Therefore, the consistent and systematic implementation of educational organization management is essential for creating professional, adaptive, and sustainable educational institutions capable of responding to contemporary educational challenges.

Abstract

Digital transformation has significantly changed various aspects of social life, including communication, education, economic activities, and public services. However, the rapid development of digital technology has also generated social challenges, such as hoaxes, misinformation, cybercrime, social media misuse, and declining quality of direct social interaction. This study aims to analyze the role of digital literacy in strengthening community social resilience in the era of digital transformation from a sociological perspective. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach using the library research method. Data were obtained from relevant books, national and international journal articles, research reports, and official publications related to digital literacy, social resilience, and digital transformation. Data analysis was conducted descriptively through identification, comparison, interpretation, and synthesis of relevant concepts and findings from previous studies. The results indicate that digital literacy contributes to social resilience by strengthening people's ability to verify information, think critically, communicate ethically, protect personal data, and use digital technology responsibly. These competencies can reduce misinformation, prevent social conflict, strengthen social trust and solidarity, and encourage active community participation. From a sociological perspective, digital literacy is not merely a technical skill but also an essential social capacity for adapting to changes in values, norms, behaviors, and patterns of social interaction. Therefore, strengthening digital literacy through collaboration among government, educational institutions, families, communities, and society is essential for building an adaptive, responsible, inclusive, and socially resilient society in the digital era.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Thursday Religious Program, its role in shaping students’ religious character, and the supporting and inhibiting factors influencing its implementation. This study employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the principal, supervising teachers, and students as research subjects. Data were analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the Thursday Religious Program is regularly conducted every Thursday from 07:30 to 09:30 a.m. in the school hall through activities including prayer recitation, religious lectures, question-and-answer sessions, and congregational prayers. The program contributes to the development of students’ religious character, particularly in fostering discipline, religious awareness, and good moral behavior. Its implementation is supported by effective cooperation between the principal and teachers, as well as school support in providing religious speakers. However, several challenges remain, including the lack of awareness and interest among some students and limited space in the school hall. Overall, the Thursday Religious Program serves as a meaningful school-based initiative for strengthening students’ religious character through structured and consistent religious activities.
