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: Character education is a foundational aspect of Islamic education, particularly at the primary level, where students begin to internalize moral and social values. In Indonesia, boarding-based madrasah institutions offer a unique environment for character formation due to their immersive and socially intensive settings. This study aims to explore the extent to which character-building strategies based on the sociology of education contribute to the character development of sixth-grade students at MIN 1 Banyumas, a state Islamic elementary school with a residential program. The theoretical framework draws from sociological theories emphasizing the role of structured social environments in shaping individual behavior and identity. The strategies examined in this study include daily habituation practices, exemplary modeling by educators and caregivers, value-based communication, and intentional peer interaction designed to reinforce shared norms and ethics. Methods: This research employs a quantitative associative design involving total sampling of all students living in the school’s dormitory. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire that had undergone tests for validity and reliability. The data were then analyzed using simple linear regression to determine the relationship between character-building strategies and character outcomes. Findings: The results reveal a statistically significant influence, with a p-value of 0.045 and an R-squared value of 0.136. These findings suggest that 13.6 percent of the variance in character development can be attributed to the implemented strategies. Conclusion: The study concludes that character formation in Islamic boarding environments benefits significantly from structured, socially embedded educational strategies. Novelty/Originality of this article: It calls for the institutionalization of sociologically grounded approaches to character education that are sensitive to students’ daily interactions, cultural context, and moral experiences.

Abstract

Background: Islamic feminism has emerged as a critical epistemological framework that integrates gender justice with Islamic values, necessitating systematic exploration due to its fragmented and context-dependent nature. This study aims to map the development of Islamic feminism through a Systematic Literature Review using the PRISMA framework to identify theoretical trends and gaps within the field. While it promotes women's agency through contextual, faith-based strategies, its acceptance remains contested due to political resistance and limited intersectional solidarity. Methods: This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach based on the PRISMA framework to evaluate literature on Islamic feminism as an epistemological approach in Islamic studies. Articles were collected from the Scopus database, limited to English-language publications from 1990 to 2025. Bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOSviewer to map keyword trends, author networks, and citation relationships among the literature. Findings: The findings reveal a significant development in the discourse of Islamic feminism, particularly in the Global North and in Muslim-majority countries such as Iran and Indonesia. The main emerging themes include the reinterpretation of religious texts and critiques of patriarchal social structures within Muslim societies. However, the integration of hermeneutical approaches and social critique into a cohesive epistemological framework remains suboptimal. Conclusion: This study concludes that Muslim feminism is a dynamic and expanding discourse that emphasizes culturally grounded social experiences and epistemological reform in Islamic thought. Its global and transnational character highlights its role as both a theoretical and practical framework for advancing justice, equality, and contextual scholarship in contemporary Islamic studies. Novelty/Originality of this article: Ultimately, this review provides a comprehensive analysis that contributes to the academic development of Islamic feminism and informs educational and policy-oriented practices aligned with human rights and social justice.

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.
