Abstract

This study explores the semiotic meanings embedded in the calligraphy and ornamental designs of the Al-Munawwarah Mosque in Batu Bara through Ferdinand de Saussure’s theoretical lens, particularly the concepts of signifier and signified. The research seeks to identify the types and forms of visual elements used and interpret their symbolic meanings within a cultural and religious context. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews with mosque leaders and cultural figures, and visual documentation of architectural features. The findings reveal the use of four calligraphic styles—thuluth, diwani, naskhi, and kufi—and two dominant ornamental motifs: Malay floral patterns with vibrant colors and Arabic geometric designs characterized by repetition and symmetry. These elements collectively serve as cultural and theological signifiers that construct a local Islamic aesthetic. The study concludes that the calligraphy and ornaments function not merely as decorative art but as a visual semiotic system that conveys spiritual identity and communal values. While the analysis is limited by restricted access to official design documents, the study offers a foundational perspective for understanding how Islamic architectural elements communicate meaning, thereby inviting further comparative research in regional mosque aesthetics.

Abstract

Mosques in Indonesia are not only places of worship but also cultural artifacts that reflect the integration of Islamic values with local architectural traditions. The Panai Grand Mosque, located in Labuhan Bilik Village, Labuhan Batu Regency, represents a unique expression of Islamic-Malay architecture that warrants academic attention. This study aims to explore the architectural characteristics of the mosque and examine how its design aligns with Islamic aesthetics and local cultural values. Employing a qualitative research method, data were collected through direct observation at the site, in-depth interviews with the mosque's nazir (caretaker), and literature review using books, journals, and visual documentation. The findings reveal that the mosque’s structure exhibits key elements of traditional Malay architecture while incorporating Islamic ornamental principles. This architectural synthesis not only enhances the aesthetic and spiritual experience of worshippers but also represents the enduring identity of the local Muslim community. The study highlights the importance of preserving such architectural heritage as a form of cultural expression that reinforces religious values and local identity.

Abstract

Islamic education in Indonesia, particularly in the form of pesantren, evolved in response to societal demands and the imperative of da‘wah. During the New Order era, centralized political control and a focus on stability and economic growth created significant pressures on Islamic educational institutions. These conditions led to the emergence of khalaf? (modern) pesantren, which shifted from traditional to reformist models. One of the earliest in North Sumatra is Pondok Pesantren Tarbiyah Islamiyah Ar-Raudlatul Hasanah, officially established on October 18, 1982. This study examines the historical context of its founding, the influence of New Order policies on its educational practices, and its social role within the community. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research draws on interviews, documents, and archival sources. The findings reveal that Raudlatul Hasanah adapted effectively to state policies by harmonizing Islamic values with modern education, thereby maintaining its relevance and contributing to the formation of Muslim identity in the region. This study enriches the historiography of Islamic education in Indonesia by demonstrating the adaptive strategies of pesantren and the enduring cultural resilience of Islamic institutions amid political intervention.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of Islam in shaping the local identity of the Gonting Malaha community and to identify the influencing factors Employing a qualitative method with a diachronic historical approach, this research utilizes Miles and Huberman’s interactive data analysis model, encompassing data reduction, data display, and repeated verification until saturation is achieved. The results indicate that Islam plays a vital role not only as a religious belief but also as the foundation for moral values, ethical norms, and the formation of social identity in the village. Structured religious education, solidarity-based social values, and the integration of local culture are central to the internalization of Islamic principles within daily community life. Moreover, Islam contributes to fostering interreligious harmony and encourages active participation in social activities. These findings underscore the significance of understanding the interplay between social history and Islamic influence in Gonting Malaha, which is essential for preserving local cultural heritage and strengthening interfaith tolerance in contemporary Indonesian society.

Abstract

This study examines the role of the Indonesian Islamic Student Movement (PMII) Medan Branch in the Reformasi movement of 1998–1999, a pivotal moment in Indonesia’s democratic transition. While previous scholarship has predominantly centered on student activism in Jakarta, this research addresses the relative neglect of regional dynamics, particularly the contributions of PMII in Medan. Utilizing a qualitative approach and case study method, the research draws on in-depth interviews with three key activists who were directly involved in the reform movement. The findings reveal that PMII Medan played a significant role in mobilizing mass demonstrations, conducting political education, building inter-organizational networks, and engaging in policy advocacy. These strategies illustrate the characteristics of a critical-transformative movement, emphasizing collective consciousness, organizational resilience, and strategic collaboration. The study underscores that regional student organizations such as PMII Medan were not peripheral actors, but integral agents in shaping Indonesia’s national reform agenda. These insights contribute to a more nuanced understanding of local agency within the broader historiography of Indonesian democratization.
