Abstract

This study investigates the representation of religious symbols embedded within the Tokwi Lasem batik motifs, utilizing the semiotic framework of Charles Sanders Peirce. Originating from the Chinese Peranakan community in Lasem, Central Java, these batik motifs carry profound spiritual significance, particularly symbols rooted in Taoist belief systems, such as the Three Star Gods (Fu Lu Shou), the Eight Immortals (Ba Xian), dragons, phoenixes, and Mandarin characters. Employing a qualitative method, data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with artisans, cultural experts, and curators, as well as a literature review. The findings demonstrate that the motifs serve not merely as decorative art but as sacred signs functioning within Peirce’s triadic model of semiosis—comprising representamen, object, and interpretant. These signs embody a dynamic interplay of religious meaning and cultural memory, forming a visual language that bridges the sacred and the everyday. The motifs reflect a deep-seated syncretism between Chinese Taoist cosmology and Javanese local traditions, articulating identity, reverence, and continuity of belief. Theoretically, this study contributes to the growing body of scholarship on religious semiotics and material culture, while also emphasizing the interpretive richness of traditional batik as a medium of spiritual communication. Practically, the research advocates for the recognition of batik as a living heritage, fostering cultural resilience, interethnic understanding, and localized approaches to heritage education and preservation.

Abstract

Mahabbah, derived from the root word habba, refers to a profound emotional attachment and enduring devotion of a servant to God, representing a central element of Islamic spirituality. Closely associated with Lailatul Qadar, the holiest night during the last ten days of Ramadan, mahabbah functions not only as a personal expression of divine love but also as a foundation for collective religious consciousness and social responsibility. This study aims to examine how the members of the Majelis Dhikr at Nurul Huda Mosque in Kampung Kudang, Bandung, cultivate love for Allah through consistent religious gatherings and communal engagement, particularly in preparation for Lailatul Qadar. Using a qualitative descriptive method supported by interviews and documentation, the findings reveal that the practices of dhikr, Qur'anic learning, and social initiatives significantly influence the moral character and behavior of the participants, fostering a culture of compassion, solidarity, and mutual assistance. This integration of spiritual devotion with social action illustrates how religious values can shape a transformative community life. The study concludes that a sustained approach to Lailatul Qadar through structured communal worship contributes to deeper spiritual awareness and reinforces a socially engaged religious identity within contemporary Muslim society.

Abstract

This study explores how the alumni of the Raudhatul Qur’an Islamic Boarding School in Metro City contribute to community empowerment through the Living Qur’an framework. The research aims to examine the effectiveness of alumni-led initiatives in sustaining religious knowledge and practices in a city undergoing cultural and religious transitions. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach and a case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews with alumni and pesantren caregivers, as well as documentation of institutional and community activities. The analysis employs Jim Ife’s community development theory and Robert D. Putnam’s social capital theory to assess how alumni utilize social trust, norms, and networks to promote Quranic values within society. The findings reveal a distinct model of Living Qur’an-based community empowerment implemented through three main strategies: active community participation, social justice, and local capacity building. The study concludes that the alumni effectively preserve and revitalize Quranic culture by leveraging their social capital, reinforcing the potential of religious institutions as drivers of community development in urban transitional contexts. This research contributes to the discourse on Islamic education, social cohesion, and faith-based community empowerment in contemporary urban settings.

Abstract

This quantitative investigation examines the impact of workplace conditions and motivation on tutor performance, incorporating job satisfaction as a mediating factor. Data was gathered via questionnaires distributed to tutors across 10 Training and Course Institutions (LKP) in Kampung Inggris, Pare, Kediri, Indonesia. From a total population of 185 tutors, 165 completed surveys were returned and analyzed. Researchers employed a non-probability sampling strategy, specifically judgmental purposive sampling. Analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results demonstrate statistically significant positive effects: both the work environment and work motivation directly enhance tutor performance and also have a positive influence on job satisfaction. Furthermore, job satisfaction itself exerts a significant positive effect on performance. Crucially, mediation analysis confirms that job satisfaction partially mediates the relationship between the work environment and work motivation, and both of these factors influence tutor performance. These findings offer valuable insights for institutional enhancement strategies.

Abstract

Modern society lives in an environment characterized by increasingly complex cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity due to the influence of globalization. This condition demands that the education system, especially Islamic Religious Education (PAI), adapt so that it does not only emphasize ritual and dogmatic aspects, but also fosters mutual respect, empathy, and tolerance between religious communities. Without a pluralism-based approach, PAI learning has the potential to become rigid and less relevant to the social reality of students. Therefore, it is essential to incorporate pluralistic values, such as respect for differences, compassion, and cooperation, into the learning process from an early age. This principle aligns with QS. Al-Hujurat verse 13 which emphasizes the importance of recognizing and respecting diversity. Teachers play a role as facilitators in creating an inclusive, reflective, and dialogical learning environment, so that the values of pluralism can be internalized naturally in students. This research employs a qualitative approach, utilising case studies at SMPN 46 Bandung and SMPN 2 Cileunyi. The research results show that the internalization of pluralistic values in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning occurs systematically, contextually, and effectively through experience-based learning activities, teacher role models, and a supportive school culture. This process successfully shapes students' religious character to be tolerant, inclusive, and virtuous. Therefore, pluralistic character education in PAI is a crucial strategy in preparing a religious generation capable of living harmoniously in a diverse and dynamic society.

Abstract

Majelis Taklim is a non-formal educational institution that plays a crucial and strategic role in enhancing the community's Qur'an literacy, but is often hindered by the heterogeneity of participants, limited resources, and the lack of a systematic teaching framework. The Dick & Carey model, with its systematic instructional design approach, offers a solution for designing structured and effective Qur'anic learning. This study aims to analyze the application of the Dick & Carey model in learning the Qur'an in Majelis Taklim, identify supporting factors and obstacles, and develop innovative recommendations to optimize the learning process in the digital era. This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study design collected from various sources such as SINTA indexed journals, books, and official documents through systematic searches on Google Scholar, Publish or Perish and so on. Data analysis was conducted through content analysis techniques, including data reduction, data presentation based on themes, and conclusion drawing, with source triangulation to ensure validity. This research is theoretically useful in enriching the discourse on non-formal religious learning design and provides practical guidance for managers and educators (asatidh) in Majelis Taklim on designing learning integrated with technology. This research concluded that the Dick & Carey Model has proven to be effective with its systematic stages, especially, reinforced by technology such as the Al-Qur'an application and social media. However, it is necessary to first increase knowledge and skills in instructional design, utilize digital platforms, and conduct empirical tests through training the educators.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze education financing management in improving the quality of financial governance accountability in private higher education institutions, using Bandung Islamic University (UNISBA) as a case study. The key concepts examined include education financing management, financial accountability, transparency, and university governance. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, document analysis, and data triangulation. The scope of the study focuses on the processes of planning, organizing, implementing, supervising, and ensuring accountability of education financing at UNISBA. The findings reveal that UNISBA has implemented relatively effective education financing management through data-driven budget planning, a well-defined financial organizational structure, disciplined budget implementation, systematic internal supervision, and transparent financial reporting. However, the study also identifies several challenges, including revenue uncertainty, external policy dynamics, and increasing demands for educational quality improvement. The study recommends strengthening internal control systems, optimizing financial information technology, and enhancing human resource capacity as key strategies to improve financial governance accountability in private universities. This study contributes to the literature on education financing management by providing a comprehensive analytical framework that integrates financial planning, implementation, supervision, and accountability within the context of private higher education institutions in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to examine Muhammadiyah as a contemporary social movement rooted in religion in Indonesia and to explore how its role and influence shape educational institutions. Employing a bibliographic review combined with interviews and supported by historical analysis, this research is grounded in a sociological framework. Through this approach, the presence of Muhammadiyah can be examined scientifically using the perspective of new social movement theory, particularly through resource mobilization theory and identity-based theory. The findings indicate that both theoretical approaches are applicable, with identity-oriented theory taking precedence, followed by resource mobilization analysis. Muhammadiyah is portrayed as an organization that introduces a transformative model within Indonesia’s religiously inspired social movements. Within the framework of identity-oriented theory, Muhammadiyah represents both a collective identity and an ideological foundation. Meanwhile, resource mobilization theory highlights how Islam and Muhammadiyah function as platforms for mobilizing organizational resources, with the primary support originating from its members. Practically, this mobilization is reflected in philanthropic initiatives and the empowerment of Muhammadiyah’s charitable institutions. Previous scholarly works are reaffirmed in this study, demonstrating that Muhammadiyah, as a major Islamic movement, has made a significant contribution to shaping Indonesian society into a more educated and socially conscious community. For this reason, Muhammadiyah can be regarded as a transformative Islamic movement. Ultimately, this article contributes to the discourse on modernist Islamic thought, particularly within the framework of tajdid or Islamic renewal.

Abstract

This study examines Sundanese prose as a medium for Qur’anic education, focusing on the reception of the Qur’an in the carpon (short stories) and essays of E. Abdurrahman. The findings reveal that E. Abdurrahman integrates Qur’anic values into narrative elements—such as plot, setting, dialogue, and everyday situations—bringing the Qur’anic text closer to readers’ lived experiences. His Qur’anic carpon and essays function not only as cultural exegesis but also as an educational medium for Qur’anic interpretation, encompassing moral, spiritual, social, and political dimensions. These works can be positioned as a form of cultural exegesis that synthesizes religiosity, aesthetics, and local consciousness. Thus, literature serves as a productive space for creative reception of the Qur’an, contributing to the development of a more inclusive, communicative, and contextual framework for Qur’anic learning in the Nusantara (Southeast Asian) context.
