Abstract

Objective: Indonesian education faces a paradox with the adoption of Western educational models like child-centered learning and positive psychology, aimed at enhancing student well-being. However, data reveal declining PISA scores and increasing classroom management issues. This study analyzes the cultural-psychological dissonance caused by the misalignment of these models with Indonesia’s collectivist, hierarchical culture. Theoretical framework: The study integrates Self-Determination Theory (SDT), Baumrind's authoritative discipline model, Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory, and Hofstede’s cultural dimensions to understand why Western models fail in the Indonesian context, particularly in terms of discipline, motivation, and teacher authority. Literature review: Previous research shows a drop in PISA scores and difficulties in teacher-student interactions due to soft discipline policies. These findings highlight the failure to align Western educational reforms with Indonesian cultural values, leading to confusion, disengagement, and a weakening of teacher authority. Methods: This study uses systematic library research, analyzing empirical studies from 2015 to 2025, employing qualitative content analysis to uncover the underlying psychological and cultural causes of the educational crisis. Results: The shift to permissive education policies has weakened discipline and teacher authority, eroding student motivation. The failure to account for cultural context has exacerbated these issues, with students losing respect for authority figures. Implications: The study advocates for an Authoritative-Restorative model that combines structure with empathy, aligned with Indonesian values, to restore discipline, motivation, and respect in classrooms. Novelty: This paper proposes the Authoritative-Restorative model as a culturally relevant solution to Indonesia’s educational challenges.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the role of Halal Value Chain (HVC) as a sharia diversification strategy in strengthening Indonesia's Islamic economic resilience amid global market uncertainty. Theoretical Framework: This research refers to economic theories related to sharia economics, sustainable development, and value chain analysis. This study examines how the integration of Halal sectors, such as food and beverages, Muslim fashion, halal tourism, and Islamic finance, can be a strategy for economic diversification and economic resilience. Literature Review: A literature review shows the vulnerability of conventional economic systems in the face of global geopolitical conflicts, climate change, and supply chain disruptions. This shows that an Islamic economy with the principles of justice, sustainability, and balance offers a relevant alternative. Previous research has identified the potential of HVC in promoting economic stability and inclusivity in Muslim-majority countries. Methods: This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method, which analyzes secondary data from scientific journals, official reports, and publications related to the halal economy in Indonesia. The data is analyzed to understand the application and impact of HVC on Indonesia's economic resilience. Results: This study shows that the implementation of HVC can be the main pillar in the diversification of the sharia economy. By integrating the halal sector, HVC contributes to the creation of new jobs, strengthens national economic resilience, and makes Indonesia the center of the global halal industry. These findings show that HVC can expand the Islamic economic base and support the growth of halal MSMEs. Implications: Strengthening HVC is essential to realize an inclusive, equitable, and sustainable Islamic economic system. This research provides insights for policymakers to strengthen the halal economy, which in turn can strengthen national economic resilience, create more jobs, and increase global competitiveness. Novelty: This research is one of the first to examine the strategic role of Halal Value Chain in the context of Indonesia's economic resilience, as well as provide a new perspective on the integration of Islamic economic principles with global market dynamics.

Methods: The method used was a literature review by analyzing two journals related to the digital Qur'an and digital literacy in Islamic religious education. This analysis aims to explore the relevance and challenges of technology integration in Qur'an learning. Results: The results of the study show that the digital Qur'an can increase learning motivation, expand access to interpretation, and support learning flexibility. However, key challenges include limited infrastructure, teacher readiness, and the risk of exposure to invalid religious information. Implications: The implications of this study show the importance of strengthening digital literacy in learning the Qur'an in schools, as well as the need to improve infrastructure and training for teachers in order to effectively integrate technology in Islamic religious education. Novelty: This research offers a new approach to integrating digital literacy in Qur'an learning, with a focus on the challenges and opportunities of technology integration in the digital age as well as recommendations for relevant learning strategies.

Abstract

Objective: A crucial element of the modern digital ecosystem is data privacy. A comparable viewpoint is seen in the realm of e-commerce, which has emerged as the primary economic engine on a global scale. The growth in the consumer base and the sheer quantity of data being transferred within the e-commerce platforms constitute a serious risk. In compliance with international regulations, e-commerce platforms are implementing data privacy rules that include transparent and control-centric processes. Theoretical framework: The current study explored how Malaysian e-commerce enterprises' commercial performance is fueled by data privacy rules' control and transparency components. A two-pronged approach was taken in conducting the research using qualitative and quantitative methodology. Literature review: First, the transparency and control features of the data privacy policies of a chosen group of e-commerce enterprises were qualitatively benchmarked. The findings indicated that while Carousell, Ezbuy, and Mudah are some of the e-commerce companies with low levels of transparency and control practices, Methods: Lazada and Shopee have the highest levels of transparency and control practices within their data privacy policies. Subsequently, the analysis was further triangulated with a quantitative analysis from 379 respondents. The data processing and results indicate the increased transparency & control of data privacy policy practices for business performance of e-commerce companies. It includes the internal, performance, and practice benchmarking for e-commerce platforms operating in Malaysia. Results: There is specific stress on the transparency and control sections of data privacy for each of the e-commerce platforms operating in Malaysia. Implications: This research recommends the transparent and controlled review of the data privacy policies on the e-commerce platforms for effective communication, privacy, and behavioral business decisions. Novelty: the study will help setting corporate digital business to ensure cybersecurity and trust of the customer in Malaysia. The serious concern of customer digital information is aptly and rightly channeled to make further customer satisfied. The study output will help policy makers to enhance business with the trust of the customer for the obtained information.

Abstract

Objective: This study examines how propaganda in Sjafruddin Prawiranegara’s speech through Radio YBJ-6 functioned as an effective political communication strategy of PDRI during the 1948 crisis, focusing on religious messaging, moral persuasion, and narrative framing to sustain resistance and governmental legitimacy. Theoretical framework: The analysis is based on political communication, propaganda, and framing theories that emphasize persuasive messaging, crisis communication, and symbolic legitimacy within emergency political contexts. Literature review: The review discusses Propaganda Theory, PDRI historical studies, religious messaging in nationalist movements, and radio broadcasting as a wartime communication medium. Methods: Using a qualitative literature-based approach and content analysis, data were collected from historical documents, PDRI archives, and prior research. Analysis followed Miles and Huberman’s stages with a within-case method to identify thematic and persuasive elements. Results: The study finds that Sjafruddin’s propaganda effectively mobilized the military and civilians through religious narratives, moral contrast with Dutch aggression, and calls for unity. Despite a limited communication infrastructure, Radio YBJ-6 successfully reached domestic and international audiences, sustaining morale and legitimacy. Implication: The research highlights the strategic use of religious-moral narratives and radio communication in maintaining state continuity and influencing public sentiment during crises. Novelty: This study proposes a religious-moral propaganda framing model that explains PDRI’s hybrid use of spiritual rhetoric, nationalist appeal, and political legitimacy in a constrained communication environment.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the historical traces of Islamic economic civilization in Southeast Asia, with a focus on the transformation of the economic system in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei Darussalam, from the era of the Sultanate to the development of modern Sharia banks. Theoretical framework: This study uses Islamic economic concepts such as the prohibition of usury, distributive justice (adl), and social welfare (falah), as well as the theory of institutional transformation and economic history, to analyze changes in the Islamic economic system. Literature review: The literature review includes a study of Islamic economics, the history of Islamic civilization in Southeast Asia, and the development of Islamic banks. The focus is on how Islamic economic principles are applied in the modern banking system and the role of the Sharia Supervisory Board in maintaining economic morality. Method: This study uses a qualitative method with a literature study, collecting data from various historical and contemporary sources to understand the transformation of the Islamic economic system in the Southeast Asian region.  Results: The results show the continuity of Islamic economic values, such as the prohibition of usury and distributive justice, from the Sultanate to the implementation of Sharia Bank products based on profit sharing (mudharabah/musharakah). Sharia banks also play a role in the management of social funds and the supervision of economic morality. Implications: These findings can strengthen a more equitable and ethical economic system in Southeast Asia by strengthening Islamic economic principles in the context of contemporary economics and the role of Islamic banks. Novelty: This study combines the study of the history of Islamic economics with the development of Islamic banks, providing new insights into the relevance of Islamic economic values in the framework of modern economics, as well as recommending cross-disciplinary research to understand the evolution of this system.

Abstract

Objective: The phenomenon of increasing promiscuous sexual behavior in today's society shows a significant shift in moral values. The purpose of this study is to examine the correlation between this phenomenon and the commemoration of the Apocalypse in Surah Al-Hajj 1-2 and the saheeh hadiths related to Asyrat al-Sa'ah. Theoretical framework: This research refers to the approach of the study of Surah Al-Hajj verses 1-2, its correlation with the Punishment at the time of the Apocalypse. Literature review: Classical and Contemporary Interpretations combined with theories of social deviance. Method: This study uses a qualitative method with a literature approach, in the form of thematic interpretation and hadith studies, where the main source is Al-Hajj verses 1-2, and the secondary source is classical and contemporary tafsir books, as well as journals about Zina with semantic analysis.  Results: The results of the study show that there is a correlation between punishment and the Apocalypse (great), where the great apocalypse contains the greatest and most devastating set of punishments that have occurred since humans lived, and the thing that most affects the occurrence of punishment is acts that deviate from the rules of Allah SWT. Implications: This study highlights the importance of being aware of the rampant practice of adultery among the community as a form of caution for the coming of the Punishment and the Apocalypse. Novelty: This study offers a new perspective by linking the psychology of fear in Surah Al-Hajj 1-2 as a direct response to the normalization of adultery in the digital age, a correlation rarely discussed in contemporary sekaological literature.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the mention of mosquitoes in QS. Al-Baqarah verse 26 through Tafsir Al-Azhar by Buya Hamka, and explores the relevance of the symbolism to modern scientific knowledge. Theoretical framework: This study combines two approaches: classical interpretations, especially the Al-Azhar Interpretation, which interprets mosquitoes as a symbol of Allah's greatness, and scientific approaches that highlight biology, ecology, and the role of mosquitoes in public health. Literature review: The literature review includes Al-Azhar's interpretation of symbolism in the Qur'an as well as scientific literature on the biology and ecological role of mosquitoes, including their impact on health as a vector of disease. Method: Qualitative method is used with a literature study approach. Data were obtained from the analysis of the text of the Qur'an, Tafsir Al-Azhar, and related scientific literature.  Results:  The study found that Hamka views mosquitoes as a symbol of God's greatness and as a medium of spiritual education. Scientifically, mosquitoes have complex biological structures and play an important role in ecosystems and public health. Implications: This research connects revelation and science, enriching understanding of the role of God's creation, both from a spiritual and scientific perspective, and providing moral lessons about humility. Novelty:  This research integrates the interpretation of the Qur'an with modern science, demonstrates the relevance between religious symbolism and scientific phenomena, and opens up new insights into understanding the relationship between revelation and human knowledge.
