Abstract

Mahr in Islamic marriage plays a significant role as a symbol of commitment, respect, and protection of women's rights. This study aims to analyze the urgency of mahr in Islamic marriage, from the perspectives of Islamic law, the responsibilities of men, and the protection of women. Using a literature review approach, this research explores relevant literature on mahr in the context of Islamic law, hadith, and the views of scholars regarding the meaning and purpose of mahr. The results show that mahr is not only a financial obligation but also a deep form of respect and commitment between partners. However, in contemporary social practices, there are deviations in the understanding of mahr, which is often viewed as a status symbol or materialistic transaction. This study concludes that to maintain the values of Islam in marriage, the understanding of mahr must return to the essence taught by Islam, which is as a form of responsibility, simplicity, and respect for women.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the mandatory muthola'ah program at the Fatkhul Mu'in Ali Masykur Wonosobo Islamic Boarding School, and its contribution to improving students' literacy. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews with caregivers, educators, boarding school administrators, and students, as well as documentation. Triangulation techniques were used to ensure data validity. The results of the study indicate that the mandatory muthola'ah program implemented in a structured manner every night for 45 minutes is able to build disciplined and independent learning habits. Through this program, students are accustomed to reading yellow books, writing summaries, discussing in groups, and expressing opinions logically. The implementation of this program is also supported by the vision of the boarding school, and intensive mentoring from the administrators. This program contributes significantly to improving students' literacy both academically and in character. The study highlights some students who are less motivated, have difficulty reading Arabic texts, and are afraid of making mistakes during discussions. Patient and consistent coaching indicates that these obstacles can slowly be overcome.

Abstract

This study aims to understand the concept of takror learning in strengthening students' memorization, to examine the implementation of takror learning in strengthening the memorization of students in the tahfidz program of TPQ at the Great Mosque of Az-Zuhud, Petanahan, Kebumen, and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors of takror learning in the tahfidz program of TPQ at the Great Mosque of Az-Zuhud, Petanahan, Kebumen. This research uses a qualitative field method with interview and observation techniques. The results of the study indicate that the concept of takror learning implemented at the TPQ tahfidz program of the Great Mosque of Az-Zuhud, Petanahan, Kebumen is intended to strengthen students’ memorization. Takror learning is divided into two types: classical and individual. The process of takror learning also involves several stages. The takror learning implemented in the tahfidz program at TPQ of the Great Mosque of Az-Zuhud, Petanahan, Kebumen is carried out individually and classically. Individual learning is applie d after classical learning is completed, where students review their memorization and receive guidance from an ustadz (male teacher) or ustadzah (female teacher). Meanwhile, classical learning is conducted by collectively reviewing memorization in front of the ustadz or ustadzah. The factors supporting the implementation of takror learning there include time availability and the presence of PKBM (Community Learning Activity Center) activities. In contrast, the inhibiting factors are mostly related to age, which makes it difficult for students to manage their time during the learning process

Abstract

The inquiry learning strategy is a pedagogical approach that positions students as active agents in the process of seeking and discovering knowledge. This paper explores the definition, characteristics, underlying principles, advantages, limitations, and implementation stages of the inquiry strategy in learning processes. Rooted in constructivist theory, it emphasizes the value of direct experience and critical thinking in constructing understanding. The analysis reveals that inquiry-based learning enhances students’ critical thinking skills, independence, active participation, motivation, and self-confidence. However, successful implementation requires teachers to be well-prepared in designing meaningful and adaptable instruction. This article recommends applying the inquiry strategy selectively and contextually, especially within Islamic Religious Education, to foster reflective reasoning and character development among students.

Abstract

The phenomenon of living Qur'an in the digital era, emphasizing the use of Al-Qur'an and prayer applications during the month of Ramadan during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic situation has forced Muslims to switch to digital media as an alternative to carrying out worship due to limited access to physical places of worship. Using a qualitative approach and ethnographic methods, this study explores how digital applications of the Qur'an and prayers become a new medium in realizing Qur'anic values ​​in everyday life, as well as how users interpret the sacred text through digital platforms. The results of the study show that digital applications not only support personal worship practices but also form online communities that strengthen spiritual bonds amid social restrictions. However, digitalization also raises challenges, such as shifts in religious authority, interpretation of texts, and issues of religious ethics. Therefore, this study emphasizes the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the transformation of religious practices in the digital era, as well as the need for a critical attitude in using technology so that Qur'anic values ​​are maintained and authentic. The COVID-19 outbreak has caused significant changes in various aspects of life, including the way Muslims carry out worship during the month of Ramadan. The implementation of health protocols and social restrictions limit congregational worship activities in mosques, encouraging Muslims to find other ways to maintain their worship routines and spiritual closeness. In this condition, mobile-based Quran and prayer applications are an effective and appropriate solution. These applications provide easy access to digital Qurans, interpretations, translations, readings from famous reciters, daily dhikr, special prayers, and additional features such as prayer reminders and Qibla direction indicators. More than just a means of worship, these applications also function as a medium for religious learning through short lectures, studies, and Islamic articles. However, users need to be aware of interference such as notifications from other applications and dependence on internet connections. It is important to remember that the role of these applications is as a complement, not a substitute for direct interaction with the mushaf or attendance at the assembly of knowledge if conditions permit. If used wisely and consciously, Quran and prayer applications can be a very meaningful spiritual support for Muslims during Ramadan in the midst of a pandemic situation.

Abstract

In the course of its long history, Islam in the archipelago has brought significant transformations in the way religious knowledge is delivered and learned. Literacy in pesantren has evolved from the traditional form of the yellow book to digital formats such as ebooks. In the 16th century, the yellow book emerged in the context of the archipelago as a very important cultural heritage of literacy in the tradition of Islamic scholarship. The yellow book is characterized by the yellowish color of the paper and is often referred to as al-kutub al-qadimah, which means classical or ancient books. Nahwu and Sharaf are two fundamental pillars of Arabic grammar that are essential for mastery of the language. Nahwu focuses on the structure of sentences as well as the function of words in the context of the sentence, while Sharaf studies changes in word forms and the process of derivation. These two disciplines complement each other in building a thorough understanding of the Arabic language. According to an article on Kompasiana, Nahwu and Sharaf materials are very integral in learning Arabic, similar to the role of grammar in English. This research adopts a qualitative approach with a library research method that aims to explore in depth various literatures related to Islamic character building in the digital era. Data collection is done by reviewing secondary sources, including books, scientific journals, academic articles, and documents.

Abstract

Islam entered Malaysia through trade, especially by Arab, Indian and Chinese traders since the 7th century, but wider spread occurred in the 13th century through the Kingdoms of Samudera Pasai and Melaka. The Islamization process became stronger with the role of the Malay kingdoms in making Islam the official religion, establishing a sharia-based government system, and introducing Jawi writing as the main medium in education and administration.The development of Islamic education in Malaysia began with the Islamic boarding school and madrasa system which emphasized traditional religious teachings. In the colonial era, Islamic education underwent changes with the establishment of folk religious schools and modern madrasas which combined religious and academic curricula. After independence, the Malaysian government introduced a more formal Islamic education system through national religious schools, tahfiz institutions, and Islamic universities. This development was strengthened by the introduction of JAKIM, the Malaysian Ministry of Education, as well as an educational foundation that supports the integration of Islamic values ​​in the national education system. Today, Islamic education in Malaysia continues to develop through technology and innovation, ensuring it is relevant in the modern world while preserving Islamic scientific traditions.

Abstract

The instructional leadership of school principals is a strategic factor in improving the quality of education, particularly in shaping teacher performance and professionalism. In the context of modern educational challenges, school principals do not only act as administrative managers but also as educational leaders capable of guiding, mentoring, and developing teachers' capacities. This study aims to identify the influence of instructional leadership on teachers' performance and professionalism, as well as to uncover the dominant leadership strategies used in schools. The research questions addressed are: (1) How does instructional leadership influence teacher performance and professionalism? and (2) What are the dominant instructional leadership strategies in improving education quality? The study method uses a systematic literature review (SLR) approach by searching articles through Google Scholar and Publish or Perish (PoP) using the keyword ‘guided inquiry search.’ Out of a total of 50 articles, five main articles were analysed in depth. The findings indicate that instructional leadership significantly influences teachers' work motivation, self-efficacy, and professional development. The most dominant strategies include academic supervision, strengthening the school's vision, and fostering a collaborative work environment. This study underscores the urgency of strengthening the instructional role of school principals and recommends further studies based on meta-analysis and a cross-national contextual approach.
