Problem internal yang dialami umat Islam saat ini adalah adanya gerakan gerakan keagamaan eksklusif yang sesama muslim disebut “pihak lain” karena perbedaan pandangan. Bahkan gerakan ekslusif tersebut dibarengi dengan mengklaim kelompok muslim sebagai kafir, sesat, dan bid’ah. Selain itu, problem lain yang dihadapi oleh umat Islam adalah adanya kelompok muslim yang melakukan aksi kekerasan dengan mengatasnamakan Tuhan dan agama, agama seolah olah dijadikan surat rekomendasi untuk melakukan tindakan kekerasan kepada kelompok lain, jihad adalah tema yang sangat unik dan menarik untuk diteliti dan dikaji secara lebih serius. Jihad sebagai research theme, selalu dalam perdebatan yang terus-menerus tidak usai dan telah banyak melahirkan karya-karya ilmiah, serta melahirkan kajian-kajian yang terbilang mendalam. Empat tingkatan jihad dalam kitab Fathul Mu’in yakni (1) mengajak umat untuk beriman kepada Allah dengan iman yang rasional dan argumentatif sehingga merupakan iman yang berkualitas, (2) jihad menjalankan perintah syariat agama (3) kalau umat Islam diganggu, boleh melaksanakan perang (4) jihad memberikan perlindungan kepada setiap warga masyarakat, muslim atau non muslim, Konsep jihad yang ditawarkan dalam kitab Fathul Mu’in memiliki kandungan hukum Fardhu Kifayah, Dan (hukumnya) berubah menjadi Fardhu ‘Ain sesuai dengan konteks yang sedang terjadi. Dalam konteks pluralitas agama, konsep jihad yang ada dalam kitab Fathul Mu’in nampaknya masih cukup relevan untuk diterapkan dalam upaya peace building dalam bingkai kerukunan antar umat beragama

This study aims to formulate a design for Islamic Religious Education (IRE) that is pluralistic, inclusive, and humanistic—grounded in values and the direction of educational reform—in response to the challenges posed by socio-religious diversity in Indonesia. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach through a literature study, this research analyzes a wide range of academic sources and relevant IRE teaching practices. The main findings reveal that a responsive IRE instructional design that acknowledges interpretive pluralism, accommodates learners from diverse backgrounds, and upholds human values is an urgent necessity in a multicultural era. The proposed model emphasizes the integration of three core approaches: (1) pluralistic—by presenting differences among Islamic schools of thought and facilitating interfaith dialogue; (2) inclusive—by accommodating identity diversity and special needs among students; and (3) humanistic—by reinforcing the values of rahmah (compassion), ‘adl (justice), and empathy through reflective and experiential learning. The novelty of this research lies in its formulation of an instructional design that simultaneously and integrally incorporates all three approaches, in contrast to previous studies that tend to treat them in isolation. This study contributes not only by offering a more contextual and applicable curricular framework but also by recommending pedagogical strategies that position IRE as an agent of moderation and social transformation. The model is expected to serve as a reference for developing educational policies and practices in Islamic education that are adaptive to contemporary dynamics and uphold humanitarian values.

The rapid development of information and communication technology has transformed social interaction patterns among adolescents, particularly through digital platforms such as social media and messaging applications. Along with these advancements, new challenges have emerged, including the rise of cyberbullying, which manifests in the form of insults, slander, threats, and other forms of online harassment. This phenomenon negatively affects adolescents’ mental health, self-esteem, and social well-being. For Muslim youth, cyberbullying is not only a social problem but also a moral issue that contradicts Islamic ethical principles. Islamic teachings emphasize kindness, responsibility, and respectful communication, both offline and online. This research employs a library research method to analyze the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in addressing cyberbullying based on literature from credible academic sources. The findings reveal that PAI contributes significantly as a moral protector, a foundation for Islamic-based digital literacy, a medium for character development, and a guide for teachers to act as digital role models. Despite its effectiveness, challenges remain in curriculum relevance, digital integration, and teaching quality. Therefore, strengthening curriculum innovation, enhancing teacher competence, and fostering collaboration between schools, families, and communities are necessary to optimize the role of Islamic Religious Education in preventing cyberbullying.

Keywords are typically one- to three-word phrases that are used to indicate the main topics of a submission.

The phenomenon of “marriage is scary,” which is increasingly prevalent among urban youth, reflects deep structural and psychological concerns about the institution of marriage. These concerns are closely linked to economic pressures, high social expectations, and interpersonal challenges shaped by personal experiences or social environments. This study aims to explore the cultural and religious roots of marriage traditions, with a particular focus on walimah al-‘urs, through historical and thematic analysis of the Prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ hadiths. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing library research methods to systematically collect, examine, and interpret primary sources from canonical hadith collections (Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim) and classical commentaries (‘Umdat al-Qari, Sharh Sahih al-Bukhari). Secondarysources include contemporary literature in psychology, sociology, and gender studies, as well as statistical data from official institutions, to contextualize the findings within modern sociopsychological realities. Data analysis follows a thematic-descriptive framework, identifying relevant hadiths that provide normative guidance on marriage celebrations. Three key hadiths were identified from Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim that illustrate the Prophet’s ﷺ principles regarding walimah, emphasizing flexibility, simplicity, and modesty in its practice. The study contributes both theoretically and practically. Theoretically, it provides a nuanced understanding of how prophetic traditions can inform contemporary marriage practices. Practically, it offers a spiritual and social alternative to the modern pressures of marriage culture, particularly the tendencies toward materialism and social performance, thus fostering resilience and a balanced perspective for young Muslims navigating marital expectations

Masalah kenakalan remaja semakin menjadi perhatian berbagai pihak karena dapat menimbulkan dampak negatif bagi remaja, keluarga, dan masyarakat. Pondok pesantren memiliki peran strategis dalam memberikan solusi edukatif dan moral guna membentuk karakter generasi muda agar tetap menjunjung nilai-nilai Islam di tengah perubahan zaman. Faktor-faktor penyebab kenakalan remaja meliputi aspek internal dan eksternal, termasuk lingkungan keluarga dan pergaulan sebaya. Studi kasus di Pondok Pesantren Al-Masyithoh Manba'il Futuh menunjukkan bahwa pendidikan pesantren yang menekankan pembinaan keagamaan, kedisiplinan, serta penguatan karakter secara menyeluruh mampu menekan tingkat kenakalan remaja. Kegiatan keagamaan, program ekstrakurikuler, serta peraturan asrama yang ketat membuat santri lebih terarah dalam aktivitas sehari-hari sehingga meminimalkan peluang terjadinya perilaku menyimpang. Sistem pembentukan karakter melalui aturan, nasihat, dan sanksi edukatif mendukung lahirnya pribadi yang disiplin, bertanggung jawab, dan berakhlak baik. Dengan demikian, pesantren berperan penting dalam menetralisasi kenakalan remaja melalui pengembangan pendidikan dan spiritual yang terpadu.

Jihad has become a continuously evolving narrative, both in terms of perspective and implementation. This research on jihad aims to comprehensively understand how jihad is wisely interpreted from a hadith perspective. Since this study focuses on hadiths concerning jihad, it is a library research with a thematic hadith (hadis maudhu'i) scholarly approach. The books *Kunuz as-Sunnah* and *Maktabah Syamilah* were used as two media to trace hadiths about jihad, which were then analyzed using the thematic analysis method. The results of this study confirm: 1) Hadith texts on jihad are found in both the six and nine major hadith collections; 2) The hadiths on jihad found provide at least eleven thematic mappings, such as the call to jihad, jihad as the most excellent deed, deeds on Ayyam al-Tasyriq being more excellent than jihad, jihad as the deed closest to paradise, jihad as the most beloved deed, deeds with rewards similar to jihad, jihad as the pinnacle of deeds, forms of jihad, the abolition of one form of jihad, the reward of jihad, and indicators for obtaining the reward of jihad; 3) Contextually, jihad is no longer understood solely as war, as implemented during the time of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ which was indeed appropriate for the situation, but today it can be more flexible in accordance with the spirit of jihad, such as social and educational jihad.

Integrating the concept of Islamic Religious Education into the realities of modern life is a crucial area of study. This article aims to examine traditions concerning the relationship between Islamic values, ethics, and the development of science and technology. The research employs a literature-based approach, analyzing traditions related to integrative learning from the perspective of hadith. Integrative learning refers to an educational approach that connects various disciplines into a unified theme or combines one field of knowledge with others in a coherent and comprehensive manner. From the perspective of hadith, this model of learning is not only relevant but also deeply rooted in Islamic teachings. The hadiths examined in this study indicate that Islam promotes holistic models of education that emphasize harmonious relationships between teachers and students, interdisciplinary integration, and the continuity between classical and modern sciences. This demonstrates that Islam is not conservative but rather open and responsive to advancements in general science and technology. Through this approach, integrative learning based on hadith is expected to nurture insan kamil individuals who are intellectually capable, morally upright, spiritually grounded, and able to contribute meaningfully to society.

This research aims to describe the process of constructing religious identity among young Muslim women in Tabeak Blau II Village, Lebong Regency, Bengkulu Province, and identify factors within the context of Islamic education that influence it, using Berger and Luckmann's social construction theory. The method employed is descriptive qualitative, involving observation, semi-structured interviews with 15 primary informants and supporting informants, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman model. Findings indicate that religious identity construction occurs through three stages: externalization (expression through basic worship and Islamic symbols, but influenced by social media trends), objectivation (Islamic values as social norms from family, school, and community), and internalization (instilling values into oneself, though still low in social aspects). Key influencing factors include Islamic education in the family (mothers as role models), schools (PAI teachers as exemplars), community (low participation in religious activities), and social media (dominance of symbolic content). The novelty of this research lies in exploring the rarely studied rural context, particularly the fusion of local traditions with digital culture. Theoretically, it enriches Islamic education studies through a social construction perspective in the digital era, while practically, it provides reflection material for young Muslims to internalize authentic values, references for educators in designing identity-strengthening programs, and a foundation for future researchers to expand studies on women's religious identity in rural areas

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the digital era presents significant ethical challenges to human morality and character. The amoral operation of AI has contributed to the degradation of empathy and the spread of disinformation, leading to a crisis of spiritual values within society. This research employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach. A critical analysis was conducted to examine the role of tahfidzul Qur'an (Qur'an memorization) as a conceptual solution in facing the ethical challenges posed by AI and digitalization. The analysis indicates that tahfidzul Qur'an serves as an effective moral filter. This process is more than just a ritualistic memorization; it deeply instills Qur'anic values such as honesty, patience, and the importance of tabayyun (information verification). These values form an internal ethical fortress that equips individuals to engage with technology wisely and ethically. It is concluded that the most effective solution is not to reject technology but to integrate the spirituality offered by tahfidzul Qur'an with sound digital literacy. This combination can shape a generation that is not only technologically intelligent but also spiritually mature and morally upright, thus capable of utilizing AI for good. This finding provides a foundation for integrating Qur’anic ethics into digital literacy education.

Abstrak: Salah satu kunci utama dalam memahami kitab kuning adalah penguasaan terhadap ilmu gramatika Arab, yakni nahwu dan sharaf. Namun, kenyataan di lapangan menunjukkan bahwa banyak santri pemula mengalami kesulitan dalam mempelajari kedua cabang ilmu ini. Proses pembelajaran yang konvensional, berorientasi pada teks, dan minim pendekatan aplikatif membuat sebagian besar santri merasa terbebani dan kehilangan motivasi. Akibatnya, kemampuan membaca dan memahami kitab kuning yang sejatinya merupakan tujuan utama mengalami penurunan yang cukup signifikan. Kondisi ini menjadi keresahan tersendiri di kalangan para pengasuh dan guru pesantren. Mereka menghadapi tantangan besar dalam menjaga kualitas kompetensi keilmuan santri di tengah perubahan zaman yang menuntut efisiensi dan kepraktisan dalam proses belajar-mengajar. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan inovasi dalam metode pembelajaran nahwu dan sharaf yang bersifat cepat, praktis, serta aplikatif agar santri lebih mudah memahami struktur bahasa Arab dan mampu membaca kitab kuning dengan baik. Dengan menggunakan metode diskriptif analisis, tulisan ini ingin memotret Implementasi Metode al-Miftah li al-Ulum di Madrasah Diniyah pondok pesantren Tarbiyatut Tholabah dalam upaya meningkatkan kemampuan Membaca Kitab Kuning. Hasil penelitin ini menginformasikan bahwa penggunaan metode ini sangat efektif untuk meningkatkan minat belajar dan kemampuan santri dalam membaca kitab, hususnya kitab Fath al-Qarib.

This research aims to empower madrasah communities in implementing better methods of learning the Quran. The problem faced is that MI Maslakul Huda has not been able to optimally implement the 10 pillars of Ummi quality, despite joining since 2018. This research uses the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, which involves all parties at the madrasah as research partners, not just research objects. The research was conducted with the involvement of madrasah principals, teachers, coordinators, committees, and students' parents. Data was collected thru participant observation, group discussions, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The PAR process is conducted in 4 cycles: jointly identifying the problem, reflecting on the causes, taking corrective action, and evaluating the results. The results show an improvement in the implementation of the 10 pillars of Ummi quality from an average of 71.5 (sufficient) to 84.8 (good). The highest increases were in the learning time aspect (+21 points), coordinator ability (+20 points), and target clarity (+20 points). The research successfully fostered a sense of shared ownership and commitment to sustain the program. This empowerment model can be applied in other madrasas with adjustments to local conditions.

Islam Nusantara, rooted in Indonesia's local traditions and culture, offers a moderate and inclusive approach to Islam, emphasizing social harmony and interfaith tolerance. Meanwhile, Islam Berkemajuan, often associated with the Muhammadiyah movement, focuses on modernization, rationality, and social progress through education and community development. This study aims to explore and analyze the differences and potential synergies between the concepts of Islam Nusantara and Islam Berkemajuan. The method used is a literature review with content analysis. The study data is derived from various books, articles, and other scholarly works relevant to the study's theme. The findings indicate that Islam Nusantara and Islam Berkemajuan are two complementary concepts that can create a harmonious and progressive society. By examining the theological, historical, and sociological foundations of these two concepts, the study provides deep insights into their contributions to the development of Islam in Indonesia in integrating traditional values with the demands of modern progress.

This study reveals the relationship between takwa and heart health in humans based on the Qur'an and hadith. Islamic law was revealed by Allah to bring benefits to human life, not only for the hereafter but also for this world. The research method used was qualitative with an integration-interconnection approach with a unified scientific perspective. Research on the Qur'an and hadith informs us that takwa in the human body is located in the chest, namely the heart. The quality of takwa has a significant correlation with heart health. The correlation between takwa and heart health is demonstrated based on both the characteristics of takwa and the activities that shape takwa. The conclusion is that a person's level of takwa has an impact on their heart health. The higher a person's level of takwa, the healthier their heart will be, both as the center of emotions and as the center of the human body's organs. Further research is needed in a more measurable form, both in terms of mechanisms and psychological and health implications.

Dinasti Abbasiyah mencapai puncak kejayaannya dalam bidang pendidikan yang ditandai dengan lahirnya Baitul Hikmah pada tahun 830 M sebagai pusat intelektual terintegrasi. Lembaga ini menjadi simbol kemajuan peradaban Islam melalui gerakan penerjemahan, riset, dan pengembangan ilmu pengetahuan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis sejarah, peran, dan dampak Baitul Hikmah sebagai institusi pendidikan multifungsi yang mendorong transformasi keilmuan pada masa Abbasiyah. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan library research, yang mengkaji sumber literatur seperti buku, jurnal, serta dokumen terkait dengan Baitul Hikmah. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Baitul Hikmah berperan sebagai pusat penerjemahan, akademi, dan perpustakaan yang melahirkan ilmuwan Muslim terkemuka seperti al-Khawarizmi, Ibn Sina, Ibn Rusyd, dan berbagai tokoh lainnya. Lembaga ini juga memicu pendirian perpustakaan umum di berbagai kota Islam. Selain itu, Baitul Hikmah menjadi fondasi transformasi pendidikan Islam melalui integrasi keilmuan lintas budaya. Kontribusinya tidak hanya berdampak pada masa Abbasiyah, namun juga menjadi inspirasi bagi pengembangan pendidikan modern.

This research is motivated by the importance of mastering the ability to read the Qur’an correctly from an early age, which serves as a fundamental basis for forming Islamic character. TPQ (Taman Pendidikan Al-Qur’an) Syamsul Qura, as a non-formal Islamic educational institution, plays a strategic role in developing Qur’anic literacy among children. However, several challenges are still encountered in its implementation, including the accuracy of recitation, understanding of tajweed rules, and students' learning motivation. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Qiroati method in optimizing Qur’anic learning at TPQ Syamsul Qura. The Qiroati method is known as a systematic Qur’anic learning approach that emphasizes gradual instruction, hands-on practice, and early tajweed reinforcement. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through classroom observation, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and documentation of learning outcomes. The subjects of the study included teachers and students of TPQ Syamsul Qura who had been using the Qiroati method for at least six months. The findings indicate that the Qiroati method positively impacts students’ Qur’anic reading abilities. Improvements were observed in accurate pronunciation, basic understanding of tajweed rules, and reading fluency without spelling. In addition, the method boosts students’ confidence and enthusiasm for learning. Supporting factors of its effectiveness include well-trained instructors, structured use of Qiroati textbooks, and active parental involvement at home. However, some obstacles were also identified, such as varying initial abilities among students, limited learning time, and a lack of interactive learning media. The study concludes that the Qiroati method is effective in optimizing Qur’anic learning at TPQ Syamsul Qura, although improvements in teaching facilities and more diverse instructional strategies are recommended. It is hoped that this research can serve as a reference for other TPQ seeking to implement the Qiroati method to enhance the quality of Qur’anic education in the community.
