Abstract

General Background: Faith education is fundamental in shaping the character and personality of Muslims, serving as a moral foundation and guide in daily life. Specific Background: The Naqsyabandiyah Tarekat, with its long-standing Sufi tradition, emphasizes dhikr (remembrance of Allah) as a core spiritual discipline to deepen faith. At Persulukan Thariqus Sa’adah in Aek Hitetoras Village, structured oral and silent dhikr, guided by mursyid, is central to religious practice. Knowledge Gap: While previous studies explore the moral contributions of Sufi orders, limited research examines how Naqsyabandiyah dhikr methods directly strengthen aqeedah (Islamic creed). Aims: This study investigates the methods, applications, and outcomes of Naqsyabandiyah dhikr in enhancing congregants’ faith. Results: Using a qualitative field approach, findings reveal that consistent dhikr, coupled with sharia adherence, muraqabah (spiritual vigilance), and moral guidance, cultivates tauhid, purifies the soul, and fosters spiritual stability. Congregants report increased closeness to Allah and stronger commitment to Islamic principles. Novelty: The study highlights the integration of Imam al-Ghazali’s Sufi principles with Naqsyabandiyah practices, showing their combined impact on faith formation. Implications: These findings suggest that structured dhikr, rooted in classical Sufi teachings, remains a relevant and effective model for contemporary Islamic faith education and spiritual character building. Highlights: Strengthening aqeedah through structured dhikr. Integration of sharia and spiritual discipline. Relevance of classical Sufi teachings today. Keywords: Faith Education, Naqsyabandiyah Tarekat, Dhikr Practice, Spiritual Development, Imam al-Ghazali

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of using board game in improving seventh-grade students’ English daily activity expression comprehension using the simple present tense. Many students’ experience difficulties in expressing daily activy in English, because of their limited vocabulary, lack of fluency in speaking, and low of self-confidence when constructing sentences.To overcome these issues, a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test was applied. The research involved 23 seventh-grade students from a junior high school in Sidoarjo. The procedure included administering a pre-test, delivering three sessions of treatment using a board game, and conducting a post-test. Students' proficiency in vocabulary, grammar, understanding, fluency, and pronunciation were evaluated using the tests to measure their comprehension regarding the daily activity expression. The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test in SPSS. The results showed a significant increase in students' speaking scores from a mean of 67 in the pre-test to 81 in the post-test, with a significance value of 0.000, indicating the rejection of the null hypothesis. These findings suggest that board game has an impact in enhancing students’ English daily activity expression mastery. Besides improving students’ speaking skills, board game also creates a fun, relaxed atmosphere that motivates students to speak more confidently. Thus, board games can be considered a useful in teaching English expressions, especially in describing daily activity.

Abstract

General Background: Corrosion poses a significant global challenge, causing severe economic and structural damage, with approximately 25% of metals produced annually lost due to ongoing degradation. Specific Background: Among various mitigation strategies, organic inhibitors are promising for their efficiency and potential environmental compatibility. Knowledge Gap: Despite experimental evidence of indoline-2,3-dione derivatives as effective inhibitors, detailed quantum-level insights into their inhibition mechanisms remain limited. Aims: This study employs density functional theory (DFT) to evaluate the electronic and chemical interaction parameters of these derivatives and compare predicted performances with experimental data. Results: Calculations using Gaussian09 (B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p)) and G311-6/LYP3B basis sets revealed that 5-chloro-1-(2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl)indoline-2,3-dione exhibits superior inhibition efficiency, characterized by a low energy gap (3.314 eV), high inhibitor–metal interaction energy (ΔΨ), enhanced ductility, and favorable EB-D exchange energy. Mulliken charge distribution and electrostatic potential maps confirmed strong nucleophilic and electrophilic sites, supporting a chemisorption-driven mechanism. Novelty: This is the first comprehensive DFT-based analysis linking multiple electronic properties to experimental inhibition data for indoline derivatives. Implications: The findings provide predictive guidelines for designing targeted, environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitors for acidic industrial environments, particularly in hydrochloric acid and hydrogen sulfate processing.
