Abstract

Rapid social changes driven by technological advancements, globalization, and societal dynamics have presented various challenges for individuals. These changes not only alter patterns of social interaction but also generate psychological pressures that require effective adaptive capabilities. In such contexts, spirituality serves as an internal resource that helps individuals understand, accept, and navigate these changes. This article aims to examine the relationship between spirituality and the coping strategies individuals employ when facing social change. The study utilizes a literature review methodology, analyzing various sources regarding the concepts of spirituality, coping strategies, and social change. A descriptive and interpretive analysis was conducted to understand the role of spirituality in shaping individual responses to the pressures arising from social change. The findings indicate a significant relationship between spirituality and an individual's ability to develop adaptive coping strategies. Individuals with a strong sense of spirituality tend to be better equipped to manage stress, find meaning in change, and maintain emotional balance amidst uncertainty. Furthermore, spirituality fosters hope, gratitude, and optimism, all of which support the process of adjustment. Thus, spirituality can be understood as a crucial factor enhancing the effectiveness of individual coping strategies in the face of social change. These findings suggest that strengthening the spiritual dimension offers an alternative approach to helping individuals build resilience and adaptability amidst evolving societal changes.

Abstract

Islamic education in formal institutions—particularly boarding schools—bears a significant responsibility that extends beyond the mere transfer of cognitive knowledge to the holistic shaping of students' spiritual and moral character. This study aims to analyze and describe in depth how the consistent and structured implementation of the Duha prayer habituation program serves as an effective pedagogical strategy for fostering Islamic character among students at SMA Al-Madina Boarding School Cianjur. The Islamic character traits examined include discipline, responsibility, spiritual tranquility (tuma'ninah), and consistency (istiqamah). A qualitative, descriptive research approach was employed. Data collection involved participant observation, in-depth interviews with the principal, supervising teachers, dormitory mentors, and student representatives, alongside a review of relevant documentation. The findings reveal that the practice of congregational Duha prayer at SMA Al-Madina Boarding School Cianjur is not merely a ritualistic, voluntary act of worship, but an instrument of spiritual cultivation (riyadhah ruhiyyah) integrated into the school's ecosystem. This habituation has proven effective in significantly fostering student punctuality, raising awareness of spiritual obligations, and creating the emotional tranquility necessary for learning readiness. The program's success is strongly underpinned by the exemplary conduct (uswah hasanah) of the educators and dormitory mentors, who serve as the primary driving force. The study highlights the importance of integrating a consistent religious atmosphere across both the academic curriculum and dormitory guidance to produce a young generation possessing steadfast moral and spiritual integrity.

Abstract

The ability of fifth-grade students at MI Kadupugur to memorize Qur'anic verses was still low and not optimal. This study aimed to determine the effect of Drill-Based Tahfidz Method on students' verse memorization ability. The research employed a quantitative approach with a One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The sample consisted of 28 students selected through Simple Random Sampling. Data were collected through oral tests and analyzed using Paired Sample t-Test, N-Gain, and Cohen's d. The results showed an increase in the mean score from 19.64 (pretest) to 26.50 (posttest). The Paired Sample t-Test obtained a t-value of -13.219 with a significance of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating that H₀ was rejected and H₁ was accepted. The N-Gain test showed a moderate improvement category (0.590), while Cohen's d indicated a large effect (2.00). The study concluded that the Drill-Based Tahfidz Method had a significant effect on improving the ability of fifth-grade students at MI Kadupugur to memorize Qur'anic verses.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors that lead people in Guluk-Guluk District, Sumenep Regency, to prefer distributing zakat through local Qur'an teachers rather than official zakat management institutions and to describe public perceptions of the performance and credibility of such institutions. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation and analyzed thematically with the assistance of NVivo 15 through data familiarization, initial coding, theme searching, theme review, theme definition, and reporting. The findings identify four major factors shaping community preferences: high trust in Qur'an teachers, an inherited tradition of direct zakat distribution, limited understanding of the mechanisms and benefits of institutional zakat management, and strong social-religious closeness to Qur'an teachers. Public perceptions of zakat institutions are shaped by transparency, institutional credibility, distribution effectiveness, and socialization. The findings indicate that reluctance does not necessarily represent rejection of formal institutions; rather, it results from the interaction of socially grounded trust, local tradition, zakat literacy, and perceptions of institutional governance. Therefore, stronger transparency, continuous socialization, and collaboration between zakat institutions and local Qur'an teachers are important for increasing community participation.

Abstract

Sandur is a traditional art form that continues to be preserved in Klampis District, Bangkalan Regency. Besides serving as entertainment and a means of cultural preservation, Sandur provides economic benefits through the involvement of artists and economic activities surrounding performances. This study aims to analyze the role of Sandur as a source of community income and its economic practices from an Islamic Economic perspective. This study employed a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation involving 12 informants consisting of Sandur artists, the group leader, performance organizers, and religious and community leaders. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing with the assistance of NVivo 14. Data validity was strengthened through source triangulation and member checking. The results show that Sandur contributes to increasing community income by providing additional earnings for artists, creating business opportunities, and encouraging local economic activities. Sandur’s economic practices reflect the principles of halal income, justice, transparency, and public benefit. Thus, Sandur contributes to cultural preservation while supporting community welfare in accordance with Islamic Economic principles.

Abstract

This study examines Al-Ghazali’s critique of Greek philosophy in his work At-Tahafut al-Falasifah and its impact on the development of Islamic epistemology. The study is motivated by the strong influence of Greek philosophy, particularly Aristotelianism, on the thought of Muslim philosophers such as Al-Farabi and Ibn Sina, which is considered to contradict the principles of Islamic teachings in certain aspects. This study aims to analyze the process of Al-Ghazali’s critique of Greek philosophy, identify the aspects of thought that were criticized, and explain its implications for Islamic epistemology. The study employs a qualitative method using a literature review approach, employing hermeneutics, content analysis, and descriptive-philosophical analysis of the primary work At-Tahafut al-Falasifah as well as various supporting sources. The research findings indicate that Al-Ghazali’s critique focuses on the doctrine of the eternity of the universe, God’s knowledge of particulars, and the rejection of bodily resurrection. Al-Ghazali argues that reason has limitations in understanding metaphysical reality and must therefore operate under the guidance of revelation. This study concludes that Al-Ghazali’s critique does not absolutely reject reason, but rather integrates reason, revelation, and spiritual intuition within the framework of Islamic epistemology, which subsequently exerted a significant influence on the development of Islamic theological, philosophical, and Sufi thought.

Abstract

Religious sites in the Kashmir Valley play a vital role in shaping the local economy by driving tourism, supporting livelihoods, and enhancing regional infrastructure. This study explores the economic significance of major pilgrimage destinations of central Kashmir such as Hazratbal Shrine, Charar-e-Sharif, Shankaracharya Temple, Khanqah-e-Molla, Jamia Masjid Srinagar, Tulmul and Gurudwara Chhatti Patshahi, analyzing their impact on various sectors, including hospitality, transportation, handicrafts, and local trade. The influx of pilgrims stimulates demand for accommodation, food services, and religious artifacts, providing income opportunities for hoteliers, transport operators, artisans, and vendors. Seasonal religious events, particularly the Urs celebrations, Sikh festivals and Mela Kheer Bhawani Tulmul Yatra generate temporary employment and boost business activities. Additionally, religious institutions contribute to community welfare through charitable initiatives such as free meals and accommodations. While religious tourism significantly benefits the local economy, challenges such as environmental degradation, infrastructural strain, and seasonal dependency require sustainable management strategies. This study underscores the need for policy interventions to balance economic benefits with environmental and social sustainability, ensuring long-term economic resilience for communities dependent on religious tourism.
