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.

Abstract

In the digital age, the younger generation often faces many significant challenges, one of which is freedom of expression, particularly when voicing opinions. However, this freedom of expression is often not accompanied by ethical and moral responsibility. This has become a critical issue that requires proactive solutions to address it. This study aimed to revive the leadership values contained in the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad SAW and to develop a strategic framework for internalizing these values into the democratic character of today’s youth. This study employed a library research method with a qualitative-descriptive approach. Data were obtained from hadith collections (Kutubut Tis’ah) and contemporary scholarly literature on character education and democracy. This study found that hadiths on leadership contain key principles of democratic character, namely amanah (high integrity), justice, consultation, and responsibility (mas’uliyyah). The strategy for this internalization is formulated through a conceptual approach that integrates theological-moral awareness based on prophetic texts (the internalization of values), communication ethics through digital media discourse and the principle of tabayyun, as well as democratic values through dialogical reasoning and intellectual openness (syura).

Abstract

This study aims to map digital media consumption patterns and evaluate national integration literacy among students at HKBP Nommensen University Pematangsiantar. Utilizing a quantitative approach with a composite index design, this study involved 32 student respondents from various academic disciplines. Descriptive analysis reveals that the internet has become the primary information infrastructure, with 84.4% of students relying on social media to consume national news (Accessibility Index score of 4.26). Affectively, technology functions as a reinforcement for national values, as evidenced by a exceptionally high Affective Integration Index score (4.38) and high appreciation for ethnic, religious, racial, and intergroup (SARA) diversity (93.8%). However, this study identifies an analytical gap in the Critical Capacity Index (3.92), indicating symptoms of cognitive overconfidence; students feel highly confident in their ability to verify hoaxes, whereas their actual literacy skills remain at a pragmatic-academic stage. This study concludes that higher education institutions must institutionalize critical digital literacy frameworks into curriculum policies to prevent disinformation and cultivate social harmony in the cybersphere.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the phenomenon of slang usage on social media within an academic campus environment. Employing a phenomenological approach, this research focuses on active undergraduate students at Universitas HKBP Nommensen Pematangsiantar. Data were gathered through field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that slang is widely adopted because it is perceived as more intimate, accessible, and effective in facilitating peer comprehension, particularly during digital interactions. However, this phenomenon also indicates a linguistic shift that potentially marginalizes language politeness and ethics when used in inappropriate contexts. Therefore, the preservation of standard Indonesian and indigenous languages must be maintained within academic settings, whereas slang should be restricted to informal or non-academic domains. The implications of this study underscore the necessity of fostering register awareness among students. Ultimately, students are expected to develop code-switching competence based on the interlocutor and communicative setting, thereby preserving the identity and prestige of the national language on campus without impeding their communicative creativity in public spheres or social media.
