Abstract

Background: The increasing awareness of health among consumers has led to a growing interest in natural products such as pure honey. Particularly among Muslim consumers, the decision to consume pure honey is often influenced by beliefs regarding its health benefits. Methods: This study employed a quantitative approach using survey data collected from Muslim consumers. A total of 300 respondents were analyzed to understand the relationship between health awareness and the consumption of pure honey. The study utilized statistical analysis to examine the impact of health awareness on consumers’ attitudes, reasons for consumption, and reasons for non-consumption. Additionally, a mediation analysis was conducted to explore the role of consumption reasons in the relationship between health awareness and attitudes. Findings: The results indicated that health awareness positively influenced consumers' attitudes toward pure honey and their reasons for consuming it. However, health awareness did not significantly affect reasons for non-consumption. The reason for consumption acted as a partial mediator in the relationship between health awareness and attitudes. Consumers with high health awareness were more likely to believe in the benefits of pure honey and were less concerned about doubts regarding the product’s authenticity. Over half of the respondents identified health as the primary motivation for consuming pure honey, with regular consumption observed among the majority. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the significant role of health awareness in shaping the consumption behavior of pure honey among Muslim consumers. Health awareness positively influences consumers' attitudes and motivations to consume pure honey, highlighting the importance of transparency and product certification in marketing. Businesses in the pure honey industry can enhance consumer trust and market position by focusing on the health benefits and authenticity of their products. Novelty/Originality of this article:  It provides novel insights into the mediating role of consumption motivations in the relationship between health awareness and product attitudes, offering practical implications for marketing strategies in the health-conscious consumer market.

Abstract

Background: Many people say that adolescence is a beautiful period because during this period, a person can have more social interactions with friends, begin to feel attracted to other types and is a time to find one's identity. It has broad implications for teenagers' lives outside the family in their relationships with peers, teachers and other adults. The emotional atmosphere of the family, the way parents train and teach their children can shape the future direction of a teenager's life. Methods: This research uses a qualitative approach with library research methods. The data that has been collected is analyzed using the content analysis method, which aims to understand and interpret the meaning contained in the texts read. Findings: This article highlights the influence of parents' overprotective behavior on adolescents' adjustment to their identity. It is important for parents to strike a balance between providing support and allowing adolescents to face their own challenges. Providing space for teenagers to make decisions, learn from mistakes, and develop independence will help them in the process of adjustment and forming a healthy identity. This balanced approach will encourage teenagers to become individuals who are more confident, independent and able to adapt to their social environment. Conclusion: Parents' overprotective behavior can cause children's bad behavior towards their parents. And parents must know that teenagers need to adapt to the environment, the people around them, teenagers are rebels and if they are forbidden, they will act more aggressively because adolescence is a time of rebellion, unstable emotions, so adjusting to the people around them or their friends is difficult. Novelty/Originality of This Study: This study explores the specific impact of overprotective parenting on adolescent identity formation and social adaptation, highlighting the need for a balance between parental control and independence.

Abstract

Background:  In the modern era, the rise of consumptive and materialistic lifestyles has shaped a new form of hedonism that challenges moral and spiritual values in religious teachings. Islam, through the Qur'an, offers a comprehensive view of life. This study aims to analyze the concept of hedonism in the Qur'an through Hamka's Tafsir Al-Azhar using Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutical approach. A number of previous studies have discussed hedonism from a philosophical or sociological perspective, but not many have examined it through a hermeneutic reading of Islamic texts. Methods: This research is classified as qualitative research. The primary data source used is the book Tafsir Al-Azhar. Supporting data includes articles, journals, books related to hedonism, and scientific books. The data collection technique used is the library research method. The data analysis used is descriptive analysis and also uses the mauḍū'I (thematic) interpretation method. Findings: The results of this study are as follows, a) an excessive love for the world, as found in QS. Al-Imran verse 14, b) the attitude of squandering wealth, as found in QS. Al-Qashash verse 77, c) the attitude of being wasteful and extravagant, as found in QS. Al-Isra verse 27. Conclusion: Its relevance to Indonesian society is evident in cases of corruption, where many people, especially young people, buy things not because they need them, and many people will do anything, even if it is wrong, to fulfill their hedonistic lifestyle. Novelty/Originality of this article: From several literature reviews that have been described, there has been no specific research related to the theme of hedonism in the Al-Azhar book. Therefore, this research is important to investigate.
