<![CDATA[Background: Islamic educational institutions, such as mosques and madrasas, play an important role in the transmission of knowledge among Muslims. Although they have been recognized since ancient times, there is still a need to understand in depth the role and function of these Islamic educational institutions in building religious and general knowledge in Muslim societies. Methods: This study uses a descriptive-analytical approach to explain the roles and functions of Islamic educational institutions, focusing on mosques and madrasas. Data were collected through literature study, comparative analysis, as well as qualitative methods such as interviews and direct observation. The data were analyzed using content and comparative analysis methods to identify patterns of knowledge transmission and the role of Islamic education institutions in shaping the character and knowledge of Muslims. Results: The research findings show that Islamic educational institutions, such as mosques and madrasas, have a significant role in the transmission of knowledge among Muslims. Mosques are places where religious discussions and teachings take place, while madrasahs provide formal and classical education. The process of knowledge transmission in mosques and madrasas is supported by halaqahs and discussions between teachers and students, which help improve the understanding and application of knowledge. Conclusion: This study confirms the importance of Islamic educational institutions, such as mosques and madrasas, in the construction of religious and general knowledge in Muslim societies. Their role in the transmission of knowledge helps shape the character and understanding of Muslims, as well as strengthening the relationship between religion and science. Thus, efforts to strengthen and develop these Islamic educational institutions are important in strengthening the identity and scholarship of Muslims as a whole.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: The rise of Islamic issues in Indonesia, which are generally packaged in various policies or programs, is often not responded to positively by the public. In some cases, such as the issue of waqf, zakat and Hajj, it actually receives counterproductive responses. Methods: This paper aims to study this social phenomenon using a two-theoretical approach, namely public communication and social representation as conceptualized by Serge Moscovici. To sharpen this theoretical study, this paper dissects two dissertations related to the preaching of the Prophet Muhammad and public policy of internalizing religious values in the city of Bandung. Results: This research shows that the theory of public communication and social representation is relevant for studying Islamic studies which continues to develop and is marked by the emergence of various social phenomena. Conclusion: However, the results of this theoretical approach are not standard because Islamic issues are influenced by many factors, such as social, political, cultural and others.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: The issue of globalization is a concern in various aspects ranging from economics, politics and culture. Recognizing the fact that globalization comes from rich and powerful countries in the West that indirectly replace traditional values in the East with foreign values by marginalizing local culture. Meanwhile, the values transferred through globalization tend to be value-free and not in accordance with religious values, morals and local wisdom. Methods: To counter the world's injustices, especially in the economic and political fields, it is necessary to develop global ethics from existing cultures and civilizations in the world. This involves formulating a vision of global transformation based on ethical awareness, applicable at the world, national, or local levels, encompassing both men and women. Results: This research underscores the importance of establishing basic ethical values, criteria, and common attitudes for peaceful coexistence in response to the challenges posed by globalization. Conclusion: The development of global ethics is crucial for addressing the disparities and injustices brought about by globalization, ensuring that ethical awareness and local wisdom are incorporated into global interactions.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: The Islamic world plays an important role in maintaining world peace. Islam, as a very rationalist religion, is considered to have the ability to build relationships between communities and makes it possible to build Islamic-based international relations studies. The principles found in the Koran and Hadith form the basis of international relations from an Islamic perspective. However, the international world saw that government leaders changed their political policies towards the Islamic world. On the other hand, this happens when Muslims join a country where the majority of the population is neither Muslim nor secular. Methods: The method used is qualitative and case study analysis through a concept approach to Islamic religious policy as a religion of peace in the context of literature study. Results: The findings obtained in the form of western countries and nations have formed the most real secularization and modernization which has been brought to touch and change almost all aspects of nations and humans throughout the world, including their influence on the Islamic world. In terms of his efforts to find out the origins of these two civilizations and how they were able to relate to each other in a good way, namely give and take, it is possible that a model of the relationship of these two civilizations with the Islamic world can be built. Political selfishness, collateralism, and misinterpretation of human religious teachings, the sources of conflict between the West and the Islamic world are not projections of the future of civilizational or religious differences. Conclusion: In conclusion, all countries, both Western and Muslim, must build dialogue between civilizations in the current context of unstable international development so that they can live together in harmony, peace, and overcome many increasingly serious humanitarian and global problems.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: The study of insurance within the framework of Islamic law is a relatively recent development, lacking representation in classical fiqh literature. Discussions surrounding insurance have emerged primarily with contemporary scholars, highlighting its importance in modern financial management. Today, insurance serves as a critical tool for financial planning, aimed at eliminating, avoiding, and minimizing potential risks that individuals and businesses may face. Methods: This research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing a case study methodology. The author gathered primary and secondary data through various field research methods, including observations, direct interviews, documentation, and library research. To address the research questions, the analysis is grounded in the theory of law implementation, focusing on the values of justice and legal certainty to achieve meaningful outcomes in practice. Findings: The findings reveal that, from an Islamic law perspective, conventional insurance cannot be classified as Islamic insurance due to its non-compliance with key characteristics and its inclusion of elements such as gharar (uncertainty), maysir (gambling), and usury. In contrast, Islamic insurance is defined by five fundamental characteristics: it is based on the principle of cooperation (tabarru'), aims to mitigate the impact of potential risks, features a membership association representing its members, ensures that insurance funds and investment returns remain the property of the members, and positions the insurance company as a service provider managing the funds. These characteristics are documented in the DSN-MUI fatwas concerning insurance. Conclusion: Despite these insights, the legal objectives intended by Islamic law and Law No. 13 of 2003 concerning manpower have not been fully realized. The core values of justice, legal certainty, and the benefits of the law remain inadequately achieved. The author argues that the existence of multiple regulatory frameworks governing employment insurance leads to legal dualism, resulting in a lack of clear legal certainty in employment insurance regulations. Novelty/Originality of this article: This article contributes to the understanding of Islamic insurance by clarifying the distinctions between conventional and Islamic insurance practices, emphasizing the need for clear regulations. It addresses the contemporary challenges faced in aligning legal frameworks with the principles of Islamic law, paving the way for further discussions and developments in the field of Islamic financial management.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Religious conflicts in Bekasi City, such as the cases of HKBP in Ciketing Asem (2010) and Santa Clara church in North Bekasi (2017), reflect social tensions that threaten community harmony. This study aims to examine the role of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) of Bekasi City in social dakwah in reducing conflict, identifying conflict actors, and formulating effective prevention strategies. The theory used is Stephen Littlejohn's moral conflict theory combined with the Islamic concept of social conflict. Methods: This research uses a transdisciplinary approach by combining Western theories of moral conflict and Islamic concepts related to da'wah and social conflict. Islamic concepts such as iftiraaq (divide and conquer) and ikhtilaf (dispute) are analysed in the context of social conflict taken from several Quranic verses. Data were collected through literature review and analysis of MUI's role in social da'wah efforts and conflict resolution. Findings: This research found that social conflicts with religious backgrounds in Bekasi City stem from two main factors. Firstly, the conflict comes from the moral aspect of individuals who do not want the social order to run well. Second, there is external interference that imposes its interests even though it is against the will of the local community. MUI plays a role in reducing conflict through social da'wah, but the challenges in overcoming individual morals and external disturbances are still significant. Conclusion: Religious conflict in Bekasi City is a serious threat to social stability. MUI Bekasi City plays an important role in reducing tensions through social da'wah, but a more comprehensive prevention strategy is needed to address moral conflicts and external disturbances. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research offers a transdisciplinary approach that combines Western moral conflict theory and Islamic concepts of dakwah and social conflict. This provides a new perspective in understanding religious conflict in Indonesia and formulating relevant prevention strategies in the context of MUI's social da'wah.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: In the digital era, social media has become an essential tool for companies to promote their brands. Social media platforms, such as Instagram, offer advertisers the ability to personalize advertisements to align more closely with target audience preferences. This research examines whether personalized advertising can enhance perceived quality and brand loyalty among Generation Z consumers exposed to brand advertisements on Instagram. Methods: Data were collected from 310 Instagram users aged 16–25 who had encountered a personalized advertisement on Instagram. Structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis was conducted using AMOS 22 software to evaluate the relationships between perceived personalization, consumer brand engagement, brand attachment, perceived quality, and brand loyalty. Findings: The results indicate that perceived personalization positively influences consumer brand engagement and brand attachment. Both consumer brand engagement and brand attachment subsequently have a positive impact on perceived quality and brand loyalty. This confirms the role of personalized advertising in building stronger consumer connections with brands on social media. Conclusion: The findings highlight the importance of personalization in social media advertising as a strategy to increase consumer engagement, attachment, and ultimately loyalty and perceived quality toward brands. Companies aiming to appeal to Generation Z can leverage personalized advertisements on Instagram to foster stronger brand relationships and consumer loyalty. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study adds to the existing literature by focusing specifically on Generation Z’s responses to personalized advertising on Instagram, exploring how perceived personalization affects engagement, attachment, quality perception, and brand loyalty in this demographic. This provides valuable insights for marketers seeking to tailor their strategies to better connect with Generation Z consumers in digital environments.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Qur'anic learning often focuses on the aspects of memorization and literal understanding of the text, without considering linguistic approaches that can enrich interpretation and understanding. This study aims to explore the application of linguistic approaches in Qur'anic learning to improve understanding and interpretation of Qur'anic verses. Methods: The approach used in this study is qualitative analysis by utilizing linguistic theories such as syntax, semantics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, anthropolinguistics, and ecolinguistics. Data were collected through an in-depth literature review on the application of linguistic approaches in Qur'anic learning, as well as case studies illustrating linguistic-based learning practices. Findings: This study found that the application of linguistic approaches in Qur'anic learning can improve understanding of language structure, verse meaning, and the social and cultural context contained in the text. Syntactic and semantic aspects help readers understand the word order and meaning of verses, while sociolinguistic aspects provide insight into the role of language in social and cultural contexts. Conclusion: The application of the linguistic approach in Qur'anic learning contributes significantly to deepening the understanding of the Qur'anic text. This approach allows readers to not only understand the meaning of words, but also capture the broader meaning of Qur'ānic verses, which relates to social, cultural and psychological contexts. Novelty/Originality of this article: This article contributes by integrating various branches of linguistics, including syntax, semantics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, anthropolinguistics, and ecolinguistics, in the context of Qur'anic learning, which has rarely been the main focus in previous studies. This opens up new perspectives in Qur'anic learning methods that are more comprehensive and applicable.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: This study aims to explore the influence of consumer skepticism on behavioral intentions among millennial Muslim consumers in Indonesia in the context of Cause-Related Marketing (CRM) programs. Skepticism towards corporate social initiatives may influence purchase decisions and consumer participation. Methods: This study uses a descriptive and cross-sectional approach by collecting data through a survey to 300 respondents who are millennial Muslim consumers. Data analysis was conducted using the regression analysis method to test the relationship between the variables of consumer skepticism and behavioral intention, as well as the moderating effect of religiosity. Findings: The results of the analysis show that 68% of respondents are skeptical of corporate social initiatives, and the resulting regression coefficient of -0.45 indicates that increased skepticism is negatively related to behavioral intention. In addition, situational factors such as corporate social motives and the image of non-profit organizations significantly contribute to the level of consumer skepticism. Product quality and satisfaction serve as mediators, while religiosity strengthens the impact of skepticism on behavioral intention. Conclusion: This research confirms that companies need to address consumer skepticism by increasing transparency and clarity of communication, and building a positive image through tangible commitments to social causes. Understanding religious values in marketing strategies can help increase positive behavioral intentions among millennial Muslim consumers. Novelty/Originality of this article: This article offers new insights into the relationship between consumer skepticism and behavioral intentions in the context of CRM, with a focus on millennial Muslim consumers in Indonesia, which has not been widely discussed in previous literature. This research also emphasizes the role of religiosity and product quality in shaping consumer attitudes and behaviors.]]>
