Abstract

The Majelis Tafsir Al-Qur’an (MTA) in Hinai District, Langkat Regency, holds a strategic potential as an agent of religious transformation through da’wah (Islamic outreach), focusing on the teachings of aqidah (creed) and a direct understanding of the Qur’an and authentic Hadith. However, this role is confronted by complex challenges, including the diversity of religious interpretations within the community, the deep-rooted local traditions, and the influence of globalization and cultural acculturation, which potentially undermine the foundations of tawhid (monotheism). The primary objective of this research is to examine the role of MTA in strengthening the community's aqidah, as well as identifying the effective da’wah programs and methods within the socio-cultural context of Hinai District. This study employed a qualitative method with a case study approach, utilizing in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving MTA administrators and congregants. The findings indicate that MTA plays a significant role in reinforcing the understanding of tawhid through a systematic and adaptive scripturalist approach, such as sequential tafsir (exegesis) studies, Q&A sessions, group discussions, and socio-religious activities. These approaches have encouraged a shift in religious patterns from traditional taqlid (unquestioning imitation) toward critical and rational ittiba’ (following with evidence). This research concludes that MTA serves as a relevant and sustainable model of purification da’wah in fostering the purity of aqidah and the quality of faith amidst contemporary socio-cultural challenges.

Abstract

This study examines the hidden meanings in Ruth B.’s song “Dandelions” through a semantic approach. The study aims to reveal how simple lyrical expressions construct deeper emotional and symbolic meanings beyond their literal interpretation. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, this research analyzes selected lyric lines by focusing on denotative meaning, connotative meaning, metaphor, symbolism, and imagery. The findings show that connotative meaning is the dominant semantic element, indicating that the song communicates its message mainly through implied and emotional meanings rather than direct expression. The word “dandelions” functions symbolically as a representation of fragile hope, wishes, and emotional uncertainty, while the metaphor “I see forever in your eyes” reflects an imagined future and emotional commitment. The analysis also reveals a gradual emotional progression from attraction and idealization to hope, longing, and uncertainty. These findings suggest that the simplicity of the lyrics does not reduce their semantic richness; instead, it strengthens the emotional accessibility of the song. Therefore, this study confirms that popular song lyrics can be examined as meaningful linguistic texts that reflect human emotions, personal desires, and hidden layers of meaning.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the quality management of science laboratories at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri (MTsN) 4 Jombang. A qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design was employed. Data were gathered through interviews with the laboratory head and science teachers, supplemented by journal articles, theses, websites, laboratory work program documents, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the quality management of the science laboratory at MTsN 4 Jombang is structured around four primary dimensions: planning, organizing, implementing, and supervising. Planning is demonstrated by the formulation of work programs, usage schedules, and pre-practicum SOPs. Organizing is reflected in the distribution of roles among the headmaster, laboratory head, laboratory assistants, science teachers, and students. Practicum implementation is supported by equipment usage procedures, laboratory rules, utilization administration, and occupational safety regulations. Supervision is carried out through activity logging, equipment inspection, damage reporting, and occupational health and safety (OHS) risk management. Nonetheless, laboratory management still faces constraints related to facility availability.

Abstract

This study examines the function of the mosque as a space for nurturing the morality of Muslim youth. It employs a qualitative field research approach conducted among the youth community of Abidin Mosque in Medan City. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving key informants consisting of mosque youth, parents, and members of the Mosque Welfare Board (Badan Kesejahteraan Masjid/BKM). The data were analyzed descriptively and analytically through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that pengajian, or Islamic study gatherings, serve as the main medium for youth moral formation through the teaching of fiqh, aqidah, and religious values that become the foundation of ethical conduct. This process is reinforced through role modelling, worship practices, and social habituation, which foster respect, tolerance, and moral responsibility in young people's daily lives. The study also finds that youth moral formation in the mosque takes place integratively through the involvement of mosque administrators, parents, and the wider social environment, although it faces obstacles such as limited family and parental support. This article argues for a more strategic role of the mosque in shaping the morality of Muslim youth, while also underscoring the importance of understanding the mosque's place in the lives of contemporary Muslim young people.

Abstract

This article examines the orientation of Islamic political thought in fostering the political awareness of Muslim youth in the digital era. The rapid development of information technology and social media has significantly transformed the ways in which young people access information, shape their political perspectives, and participate in democratic processes. While digital platforms have expanded access to political information, they have also intensified challenges such as the spread of political misinformation, social polarization, and the decline of ethical conduct in the digital public sphere. This study employs a library research approach by reviewing scholarly literature related to Islamic political thought and contemporary political dynamics. The findings reveal that the fundamental values of Islamic political thought serve as a moral foundation for developing the political awareness of Muslim youth, enabling them to become critical, moderate, and responsible citizens. These values encourage constructive political participation in national and civic life. The study concludes that Islamic political thought remains relevant as a moral and intellectual framework for strengthening political literacy and democratic participation among Muslim youth in the digital era

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) subjects to improve students' understanding and practice of religious values ​​in their daily lives. This study uses a literature study type of research by collecting related data on contextual components in Islamic Education learning in schools. The results of the study indicate that PAI learning with a contextual approach successfully transforms the learning process from mere memorization of material into a meaningful learning experience. Implementation is carried out through seven main components of CTL: constructivism, inquiry, questioning, learning communities, modeling, reflection, and authentic assessment. This approach has been proven to increase active student involvement, strengthen character, and make it easier for students to connect PAI materials (morals, fiqh, history) with the context of real-life everyday situations. Conclusion: Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) is an effective strategy to improve PAI learning outcomes both academically and affectively. This approach makes Islamic Education more relevant and applicable, thus producing students who are not only cognitively intelligent, but also have good morals in society.

Abstract

Community knowledge regarding the use of traditional medicinal plants represents an important component of local wisdom that should be documented to support the conservation of biodiversity and the preservation of traditional healthcare systems. This study aims to inventory the medicinal plant species utilized by the people of Lumban Sipahutar, North Sumatra, Indonesia, and to document their botanical classification, plant parts used, preparation methods, and traditional medicinal applications. The research employed an ethnobotanical approach using a qualitative descriptive method. Data was collected through field observations, in-depth interviews, documentation, and morphological identification of plant specimens, which were subsequently classified taxonomically to the species level. The findings identified 16 medicinal plant species traditionally used by the local community for healthcare purposes. These species belong to various botanical families, with leaves being the most frequently utilized plant part, followed by rhizomes, stems, roots, fruits, and flowers. The plants are commonly prepared by boiling, pounding, infusion, or direct application. Most species are traditionally used to treat digestive disorders, respiratory ailments, fever, and wound-related conditions. The findings demonstrate that the people of Lumban Sipahutar continue to preserve a traditional healthcare system based on local biological resources, highlighting its potential contribution to biodiversity conservation and the development of phytopharmaceutical research in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the prophetic political meritocracy model in the leadership of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and to evaluate its relevance as a governance framework for contemporary political leadership. The study employs a qualitative approach using a library research design. The findings reveal that Prophetic political meritocracy is constructed through the integration of four prophetic virtues (ṣidq, amānah, tablīgh, and faṭānah) with a governance system that emphasizes justice, deliberation (shūrā), public accountability, the rule of law, social inclusiveness, and the appointment of public officials based on competence and integrity rather than kinship, patronage, or social status. This model demonstrates that political legitimacy in the governance of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was established through a balance between professional competence and moral responsibility in the exercise of public authority. The study proposes prophetic political meritocracy as a conceptual framework for political leadership that integrates ethical, institutional, and professional dimensions. It thereby contributes to enriching the discourse on Islamic political thought while offering an alternative perspective for reforming contemporary public governance toward greater justice, accountability, transparency, and the promotion of the public good.

Abstract

Digital technological advancements have brought significant transformations to political communication patterns among the youth. Social media has emerged as a sphere for political opinion formation, information dissemination, and an arena for ideological and interest conflicts. Utilizing a literature review method, this study aims to delineate political communication strategies within Islamic political education as an effort to build a more ethical and inclusive future for Indonesian democracy. The findings reveal that youth social media engagement is not yet fully accompanied by adequate political literacy and communication ethics. Consequently, Islamic political education needs to be operationalized through a humanistic and religious political communication approach, embedding values such as dialogue, tolerance, tabayyun (factchecking/verification), musyawarah (deliberation), and respect for diverse opinions. These strategies can be implemented through digital democracy literacy, dialogic learning, democracy simulations, and the strategic utilization of social media as a healthy space for political education.

Abstract

This study examines the contribution of Qur'an-based democratic education to strengthening the political awareness of Generation Z. It employs a qualitative library research design with a descriptive-analytical approach using content analysis. The data were drawn from scholarly journal articles, academic books, Qur'anic exegesis (tafsir), and other relevant academic documents, which were analyzed thematically to identify the conceptual relationship between democratic education, Qur'anic values, and political awareness. The findings indicate that Qur'an-based democratic education enhances Generation Z's political awareness by internalizing the values of justice, consultation (shūrā), responsibility, honesty, and public welfare (maṣlaḥah) within democratic life. The study further reveals that integrating humanistic and religious approaches fosters critical, moderate, and responsible attitudes toward contemporary political issues. Therefore, Qur'an-based democratic education provides a relevant conceptual framework for improving political literacy while cultivating an ethical democratic culture among Generation Z.
