Persuasion Strategy in Religious Discourse About Genocide in Palestine on Instagram
Persuasive language is widely used in religious discourse on social media to influence public perception and action, particularly in humanitarian issues such as the genocide in Palestine. In this context, rhetorical strategies play a crucial role in shaping support and solidarity. Purpose: This study aims to identify and describe the persuasion strategies employed in religious discourse about the Palestinian genocide on Instagram, and to explain how linguistic techniques construct moral and emotional support for Palestine. Methods: The research adopts a descriptive qualitative design with a critical discourse analysis approach. Data were collected through purposive sampling from 16 images posted on the feeds and stories of six Instagram accounts discussing Palestine. The data consist of 16 phrases and sentence fragments containing persuasive elements. Each item was coded according to Aristotle’s rhetorical strategies (logos, ethos, pathos) and analyzed using linguistic techniques such as repetition, metaphor, synecdoche, irony, and slogan formulation. Results: The study identifies three main persuasion strategies: (1) logos, reflected through evidential claims, rhetorical questions, slogans, repetition, and comparative stylistic devices; (2) ethos, manifested through religious–moral values, irony, metaphors, and sound-play that strengthen the speaker’s credibility; and (3) pathos, expressed through emotional appeals, the synecdoche of “the heart,” and imperative statements encouraging empathy and moral action. Implications: The findings indicate that digital religious discourse significantly contributes to shaping public opinion and strengthening humanitarian advocacy through effective rhetorical strategies. Conclusions: Religious utterances on Instagram combine logic, moral credibility, and emotional appeal to influence audiences. The study recommends further research on digital rhetoric in religious and global conflict discourse. Bahasa persuasif kerap digunakan dalam wacana keagamaan di media sosial untuk memengaruhi persepsi dan tindakan publik, termasuk dalam isu kemanusiaan seperti genosida di Palestina. Dalam konteks tersebut, strategi retorika menjadi alat penting untuk membangun dukungan dan solidaritas.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi dan mendeskripsikan strategi persuasi yang digunakan dalam ujaran keagamaan tentang genosida Palestina di Instagram, serta menjelaskan bagaimana teknik kebahasaan tersebut membentuk dukungan moral dan emosional bagi Palestina. Metode: Penelitian menggunakan desain deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan analisis wacana kritis. Data dikumpulkan melalui purposive sampling dari 16 gambar yang diunggah pada unggahan feed dan story enam akun Instagram yang membahas isu Palestina. Terdapat 16 data ujaran. Data berupa frasa dan penggalan kalimat yang memuat unsur persuasi. Setiap data dikodekan berdasarkan strategi retorika Aristoteles (logos, ethos, pathos) dan dianalisis menggunakan teknik linguistik seperti repetisi, metafora, sinekdoke, ironi, dan slogan. Hasil: Penelitian menemukan tiga strategi persuasi utama: (1) logos muncul melalui penggunaan bukti, pertanyaan retoris, slogan, repetisi, serta gaya bahasa komparatif; (2) ethos ditunjukkan melalui nilai moral–religius, ironi, metafora, dan permainan bunyi yang membangun kredibilitas penutur; (3) pathos diwujudkan melalui ungkapan emosional, sinekdoke “hati,” dan kalimat imperatif yang mendorong empati dan tindakan moral. Implikasi: Temuan menunjukkan bahwa wacana keagamaan digital berperan signifikan dalam membentuk opini publik dan memperkuat advokasi kemanusiaan melalui strategi retorika yang efektif. Kesimpulan: Ujaran keagamaan di Instagram memadukan logika, kredibilitas moral, dan emosi untuk memengaruhi pembaca. Studi ini merekomendasikan penelitian lanjutan mengenai dinamika retorika digital dalam isu keagamaan dan konflik global. Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana istilah genosida diproduksi, disebarluaskan, dan direspon dalam komunitas Muslim digital.

A Normative-Analytical Study of Riba and Its Manifestations in Market Exchange within Islamic Commercial Law
This study examines the normative logic of riba and its manifestations in contemporary market exchange amid the persistent presence of interest-based practices that contribute to economic inequality and distort fair transactions. Addressing the conceptual gap between classical juristic definitions and modern economic realities, the research aims to clarify how riba operates theoretically and in practice. Employing a qualitative normative method, the study utilizes thematic textual analysis of Qur’anic verses, hadith, classical fiqh literature, and contemporary scholarly works, processed through textual mapping, juristic comparison, and conceptual synthesis. The findings reveal three key points: first, the essential logic of riba is characterized by asymmetry, exploitation, and unearned gain; second, modern market systems reproduce riba-like patterns through interest-bearing debt, unequal countervalues, and deferred reciprocal exchanges; and third, classical fiqh principles remain relevant when understood through their underlying legal causes (‘illah). These results indicate significant implications for Islamic finance regulation, consumer protection, and the development of equitable contractual structures. The study ultimately contributes a refined theoretical framework for aligning contemporary market practices with Islamic legal and ethical standards. Penelitian ini mengkaji logika normatif riba dan berbagai manifestasinya dalam praktik pertukaran pasar kontemporer di tengah masih maraknya praktik berbasis bunga yang berkontribusi terhadap ketimpangan ekonomi dan distorsi keadilan transaksi. Dengan melihat adanya kesenjangan konseptual antara definisi ulama klasik dan realitas ekonomi modern, penelitian ini bertujuan memperjelas bagaimana riba beroperasi secara teoritis maupun praktis. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan normatif kualitatif melalui analisis tekstual tematik terhadap ayat Al-Qur’an, Hadis, literatur fiqh klasik, serta kajian-kajian kontemporer, yang dianalisis melalui pemetaan teks, komparasi yuridis, dan sintesis konseptual. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tiga temuan utama: pertama, logika dasar riba ditandai oleh ketidakseimbangan, eksploitasi, dan keuntungan tanpa sebab yang sah; kedua, sistem pasar modern mereproduksi pola-pola riba melalui utang berbasis bunga, ketidakseimbangan nilai tukar, dan pertukaran tangguh yang tidak setara; dan ketiga, prinsip-prinsip fiqh klasik tetap relevan bila dipahami melalui ‘illah hukumnya. Temuan ini memiliki implikasi penting bagi regulasi keuangan syariah, perlindungan konsumen, serta pengembangan struktur akad yang lebih adil. Penelitian ini pada akhirnya menawarkan kerangka teoretis yang lebih sistematis untuk menyelaraskan praktik pasar kontemporer dengan standar hukum dan etika Islam.

Actualization of Qur'anic Values and Living Values in Strengthening The Character of MTsN 1 Sukamara Students in the Society 5.0 Era
Technological developments in the Society 5.0 era not only bring convenience but also raise moral and character issues among students, requiring an educational model capable of addressing these challenges in a broader context. This study aims to analyze how Qur'anic values and Living Values Education (LVE) are integrated in strengthening students' character education and to test its effectiveness as a model for Islamic character building. Using a descriptive quantitative method, the research was conducted through a survey of 300 students in grades VII, VIII, and IX at MTsN 1 Sukamara, Central Kalimantan, with a closed questionnaire containing 15 statements covering the variables of understanding, application, and impact of Qur'anic values and LVE. Data analysis was carried out to see the response trends and the relationship between variables. The results showed that students had a good level of understanding of the importance of Qur'anic-based character education (65.8%), teachers consistently linked learning to Qur'anic values (50.7%), and regular religious activities contributed significantly to character building (60.7%). Although social media influences behavior (50.3%), students still try to filter digital content according to Islamic teachings (55%). These findings indicate that the integration of Qur'anic values and LVE effectively strengthens students' religious, social, and digital character. The implications of this study confirm that this integrative approach can be used as a model for character education policies and practices in Islamic educational institutions. In conclusion, the Qur'anic-LVE integration model is relevant for application in the Society 5.0 era and is recommended for further development in subsequent studies. Perkembangan teknologi pada era Society 5.0 tidak hanya membawa kemudahan, tetapi juga memunculkan persoalan moral dan karakter pada peserta didik, sehingga dibutuhkan model pendidikan yang mampu menjawab tantangan tersebut dalam konteks yang lebih luas. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis bagaimana nilai-nilai Qur’ani dan Living Values Education (LVE) diintegrasikan dalam penguatan pendidikan karakter siswa serta menguji efektivitasnya sebagai model pembinaan karakter Islami. Menggunakan metode kuantitatif deskriptif, penelitian dilakukan melalui survei terhadap 300 siswa kelas VII, VIII, dan IX MTsN 1 Sukamara, Kalimantan Tengah, dengan angket tertutup berisi 15 pernyataan yang mencakup variabel pemahaman, penerapan, dan dampak nilai Qur’ani serta Living Values Education (LVE). Analisis data dilakukan untuk melihat kecenderungan respons serta hubungan antarvariabel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa siswa memiliki tingkat pemahaman yang baik terhadap pentingnya pendidikan karakter berbasis Qur’ani (65,8%), guru konsisten mengaitkan pembelajaran dengan nilai-nilai Al-Qur’an (50,7%), dan kegiatan keagamaan rutin berkontribusi signifikan terhadap pembentukan akhlak (60,7%). Meskipun media sosial berpengaruh terhadap perilaku (50,3%), siswa tetap berupaya menyaring konten digital sesuai ajaran Islam (55%). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa integrasi nilai Qur’ani dan LVE efektif memperkuat karakter religius, sosial, dan digital siswa. Implikasi penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa pendekatan integratif tersebut dapat dijadikan model kebijakan dan praktik pendidikan karakter di lembaga pendidikan Islam. Kesimpulannya, model integrasi Qur’ani–LVE relevan diterapkan di era Society 5.0 dan direkomendasikan untuk dikembangkan dalam penelitian lanjutan

The Case Method in Islamic Education as an Effort to Strengthen Students’ Character Values: A Literature Review
This study examines the development of Islamic character values through the implementation of a case method–based learning model in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at the university level. Framed within the paradigm of character education revitalization in higher education, this research discusses how instructional design, campus religious culture, and co-curricular activities jointly contribute to character formation. The purpose of this study is to identify the extent to which the case method can strengthen students’ religious literacy, critical thinking skills, and social character, as well as to formulate hypotheses regarding its pedagogical effectiveness. Methodologically, this literature-based study synthesizes various empirical findings and theoretical frameworks related to PAI learning models by highlighting research designs, sample characteristics, geographical contexts, variables, instructional conditions, and assessment techniques reported in previous studies. It also reviews how character values are integrated through syllabus development, course design, Islamic civilization materials as contextual learning resources, mosque-based learning environments, digital media, interactive multimedia, and authentic assessment practices such as observation, self-assessment, peer assessment, worship journals, and interviews. The findings indicate that case method–based learning fosters meaningful engagement with real socio-religious issues, deepens the examination of scriptural evidence from contemporary perspectives, and enhances students’ cognitive, affective, and social competencies. The implications of these findings affirm the need for policies that institutionalize case-based learning within the PAI curriculum and strengthen campus religious culture through mosque-centered programs. In conclusion, the case method offers a progressive and value-oriented pedagogical framework that can reinforce Islamic education management, improve students’ problem-solving abilities and religious practice, and provide a strategic foundation for strengthening character education in higher education. Penelitian ini mengkaji pengembangan nilai-nilai karakter Islami melalui penerapan model pembelajaran berbasis metode kasus (case method) dalam Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) pada tingkat perguruan tinggi. Ditempatkan dalam paradigma revitalisasi pendidikan karakter di pendidikan tinggi, penelitian ini membahas bagaimana desain pembelajaran, budaya religius kampus, dan kegiatan ko-kurikuler berkontribusi secara bersama-sama terhadap pembentukan karakter. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi sejauh mana metode kasus dapat memperkuat literasi keagamaan, kemampuan berpikir kritis, dan karakter sosial mahasiswa, serta merumuskan hipotesis mengenai efektivitas pedagogisnya. Secara metodologis, penelitian berbasis literatur ini mensintesis berbagai studi empiris dan kerangka teoretis terkait model pembelajaran PAI dengan menyoroti desain penelitian, karakteristik sampel, konteks geografis, variabel, kondisi instruksional, dan teknik penilaian dalam studi-studi sebelumnya. Penelitian ini juga meninjau bagaimana nilai-nilai karakter diintegrasikan melalui pengembangan silabus, desain perkuliahan, materi peradaban Islam sebagai konteks pembelajaran, lingkungan pembelajaran berbasis masjid kampus, media digital, multimedia interaktif, serta praktik penilaian autentik seperti observasi, penilaian diri, penilaian teman sejawat, jurnal ibadah, dan wawancara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran berbasis metode kasus mendorong keterlibatan bermakna dengan isu-isu sosial-keagamaan nyata, memperdalam kajian terhadap dalil keagamaan dalam pandangan kontemporer, dan meningkatkan kompetensi kognitif, afektif, dan sosial mahasiswa. Implikasi temuan ini menegaskan perlunya kebijakan yang menginstitusionalisasi pembelajaran berbasis kasus dalam kurikulum PAI serta memperkuat budaya religius kampus melalui program-program berbasis masjid. Sebagai kesimpulan, metode kasus menawarkan kerangka pedagogis yang progresif dan berorientasi nilai, yang mampu memperkuat manajemen pendidikan Islam, meningkatkan kemampuan pemecahan masalah dan praktik keberagamaan mahasiswa, serta memberikan landasan strategis bagi penguatan pendidikan karakter di perguruan tinggi

Data analysis was conducted descriptively and qualitatively with the help of the Publish or Perish and VOSviewer applications. The study was conducted in October 2025. The results showed a significant increase in publications on the theme of social piety with a peak in 2024. The publication sources were dominated by journals (661 sources), followed by repositories, proceedings, digital books, and final project scientific papers. The nine most productive researchers are Muslim Sabarisman, Suradi, Kadaruddin Aiyub, Dinie Anggraeni Dewi, Habibullah, Nunik Hariyani, Ruaida Murni, Heri Harjanto Setiawan, and Muhammad Yasin. Developed issues include action, social interaction, Pancasila, schools, methods, and technology, while potential issues for development include communication, public, tradition, and teaching. The limitations of this research lie in the data source, which only uses Crossref and limited analytical tools, so it is recommended that further research combine the Scopus or WoS databases with advanced bibliometric tools. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh kondisi ideal bahwa nilai kesalehan sosial semestinya menjadi cerminan perilaku beragama yang menumbuhkan kepedulian, keadilan, dan tanggung jawab sosial. Namun di lapangan, realitas menunjukkan mulai terkikisnya empati, meningkatnya individualisme, serta menurunnya keteladanan moral publik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menelaah perkembangan riset mengenai kesalehan sosial selama 2015–2025 dan memberikan rekomendasi penguatan nilai tersebut melalui kajian akademik berbasis analisis bibliometrik. Penelitian menggunakan desain kuantitatif dengan metode bibliometrik riset. Data primer terdiri atas 744 publikasi artikel (data bersih) dari Crossref, sedangkan data sekundernya berupa buku, prosiding, laporan penelitian, makalah, dan tesis. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif kualitatif dengan bantuan aplikasi Publish or Perish dan VOSviewer. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada Oktober 2025. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya peningkatan signifikan publikasi bertema kesalehan sosial dengan puncak tahun 2024.

Islamic Moral Education and Spiritual Development as a Strategy for Preventing Deviant Behavior (Moral Deviation)
This article explains key moral principles such as honesty, fairness, responsibility, and empathy, and how these principles form the foundation for developing positive social behavior. The aim is to describe what constitutes moral and behavioral deviation and what its impacts are. Methods This research uses a library research approach to collect data and information related to morals and deviant behavior in society. The analysis was conducted through a literature review that included scientific publications, books, and documents related to societal moral behavior. Research results show that morals are principles and values ​​that guide individuals in determining the rightness or wrongness of an action. Deviant behavior, on the other hand, refers to actions that deviate from prevailing societal norms and rules. Factors contributing to deviant behavior include social pressure, lack of moral education, and psychological factors. The negative impacts of deviant behavior on individuals and society are also outlined, such as the breakdown of trust, increased crime, and reduced social welfare. Real-life case studies of deviant behavior, such as corruption and violence, are used to illustrate the consequences of such actions and the resulting moral implications. The article concludes that a sound understanding of morality and its implications can help prevent deviant behavior, thus creating a more just, peaceful, and harmonious society. Artikel ini menjelaskan berbagai prinsip moral utama seperti kejujuran, keadilan, tanggung jawab, dan empati, serta bagaimana prinsip-prinsip tersebut menjadi landasan dalam membentuk perilaku sosial yang positif. Tujuannya adalah untuk mendeskripsikan mengenai apa saja yang termasuk dari penyimpangan moral dan perilaku serta bagaimana dampaknya. Metode Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan studi pustaka untuk mengumpulkan data dan informasi terkait moral dan penyimpangan perilaku di masyarakat. Analisis dilakukan melalui tinjauan literatur yang mencakup publikasi ilmiah, buku, dan dokumen terkait perilaku moral masyarakati. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa moral merupakan prinsip dan nilai yang memandu individu dalam menentukan benar atau salahnya suatu tindakan. Penyimpangan perilaku, di sisi lain, merujuk pada tindakan yang menyimpang dari norma dan aturan yang berlaku dalam masyarakat. Faktor-faktor penyebab penyimpangan perilaku, termasuk tekanan sosial, kurangnya pendidikan moral, dan faktor psikologis. Dampak negatif dari penyimpangan perilaku pada individu dan masyarakat juga diuraikan, seperti rusaknya kepercayaan, meningkatnya kriminalitas, dan berkurangnya kesejahteraan sosial. Studi kasus nyata tentang penyimpangan perilaku, seperti kasus korupsi dan kekerasan, digunakan untuk mengilustrasikan konsekuensi dari tindakan tersebut serta implikasi moral yang timbul. Artikel ini menyimpulkan bahwa pemahaman yang baik tentang moral dan implikasinya dapat membantu mencegah penyimpangan perilaku, sehingga menciptakan masyarakat yang lebih adil, damai, dan harmonis

Religious Moderation in Islamic Education: Natural Intra-Religious Student Interactions at MAN 1 Madiun
Religious moderation is a fundamental element of Islamic education within Indonesia’s increasingly plural and dynamic social context. This study aims to analyze the practices of religious moderation through students’ interactions within an Islamic senior secondary school, namely MAN 1 Madiun, involving students from different Islamic organizational backgrounds. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through direct observation and in-depth interviews with purposively selected students, enabling the exploration of students’ lived religious experiences in their natural school setting. The findings indicate that religious activities, such as istighosah, collective Qur’an recitation, and congregational prayers, are conducted inclusively without segregation based on organizational affiliation. Technical differences in worship practices, including the use of qunut supplication in the dawn prayer, are understood as legitimate forms of Islamic diversity and are accepted without generating conflict. The novelty of this study lies in its empirical evidence derived from students’ everyday interactions, demonstrating that daily social engagement serves as an effective medium for internalizing values of religious moderation. Furthermore, non-discriminatory institutional policies play a crucial role in fostering a tolerant and cohesive educational environment. These findings contribute to the development of moderate Islamic pedagogy by emphasizing structured religious habituation, students’ social experiences, and inclusive school governance as key strategies for strengthening religious moderation, offering valuable insights for other Islamic educational institutions with similar diverse contexts

Philosophy of Science as a Framework for Improving the Quality of Scientific Writing in Islamic Education
The quality of scientific paper writing is an important indicator in the development of Islamic Education. However, many scientific works still experience weaknesses in terms of theoretical framework, conceptual consistency, and depth of argumentation that indicate a lack of understanding of the philosophical foundations of science. The purpose of this research is to analyze the role of philosophy of science as a framework in improving the quality of writing scientific papers in Islamic Education, especially the role of onology, epistemology, and axiology. The research uses a qualitative approach with the library research method. Data was collected from philosophy of science books, indexed journal articles, and relevant academic documents, then analyzed through content analysis by triangulating sources. The study found that philosophy of science plays a fundamental role through three dimensions. Ontology determines the focus of research and the definition of variables, preventing generalizations that do not correspond to reality. Epistemology is a systematic foundation that integrates modern empirical perspectives with Islamic epistemology (bayani, burhani, irfani) to produce comprehensive research. Axiology is a value reference that prevents plagiarism and ensures that scientific works not only pursue scientific truth but also spread benefits. The integration of Popper's perspectives (criticism), Kuhn (paradigmatic consciousness), and Zubaedi (Western-Islamic synthesis) strengthens the application of these three dimensions. The integration of ontology, epistemology, and axiology is the key to improving the quality of scientific work that combines truth, rationality, and benefit. The research provides implementable recommendations for researchers, lecturers, and academic institutions to strengthen the philosophical foundation in producing valid, ethical, and tangible scientific works of Islamic Education. Kualitas penulisan karya ilmiah merupakan indikator penting dalam perkembangan Pendidikan Islam. Namun, banyak karya ilmiah masih mengalami kelemahan pada aspek kerangka teoretis, konsistensi konseptual, dan kedalaman argumentasi yang mengindikasikan minimnya pemahaman terhadap fondasi filosofis keilmuan. Tujuan dari Penelitian ini menganalisis peran filsafat ilmu sebagai kerangka dalam meningkatkan kualitas penulisan karya ilmiah Pendidikan Islam, khususnya peran ontologi, epistemologi, dan aksiologi. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode library research. Data dikumpulkan dari buku filsafat ilmu, artikel jurnal terindeks, dan dokumen akademik relevan, kemudian dianalisis melalui content analysis dengan triangulasi sumber. Kajian menemukan bahwa filsafat ilmu berperan fundamental melalui tiga dimensi. Ontologi menentukan fokus penelitian dan definisi variabel, mencegah generalisasi yang tidak sesuai realitas. Epistemologi menjadi landasan sistematis yang mengintegrasikan perspektif empiris modern dengan epistemologi Islam (bayani, burhani, irfani) untuk menghasilkan penelitian komprehensif. Aksiologi menjadi acuan nilai yang mencegah plagiarisme dan memastikan karya ilmiah tidak hanya mengejar kebenaran ilmiah tetapi juga menebarkan kemaslahatan. Integrasi perspektif Popper (kritisisme), Kuhn (kesadaran paradigmatik), dan Zubaedi (sintesis Barat-Islam) memperkuat penerapan ketiga dimensi tersebut. Keterpaduan ontologi, epistemologi, dan aksiologi menjadi kunci peningkatan kualitas karya ilmiah yang memadukan kebenaran, rasionalitas, dan kemaslahatan. Penelitian memberikan rekomendasi implementatif bagi peneliti, dosen, dan lembaga akademik untuk penguatan fondasi filosofis dalam menghasilkan karya ilmiah Pendidikan Islam yang valid, etis, dan berkontribusi nyata.

From Surau to Social Media: Nusantara Ulama’s Da'wah Transformation in The Society 5.0 Era
The transformation of Islamic da‘wah in Indonesia has shifted from traditional spaces such as surau and pesantren to digital platforms in line with the development of the Society 5.0 era. This shift has influenced patterns of religious authority and modes of conveying Islamic messages, giving rise to challenges in preserving the moderate, locally rooted values of Nusantara ulama da‘wah. This study explicitly aims to analyze the transformation of da‘wah into the digital sphere, identify the enduring values of Nusantara ulama da‘wah, and examine the challenges and opportunities of Islamic da‘wah within the context of Society 5.0. The research employs a qualitative literature review method using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that digital da‘wah expands outreach and innovation, yet also presents challenges in the form of fragmented religious authority and the commercialization of religious content. The novelty of this study lies in the formulation of a model for recontextualizing Nusantara ulama values such as hikmah, tawazun, and tasamuh within a human-centered digital da‘wah ecosystem as a foundation for ethical and moderate da‘wah in the contemporary era. Transformasi dakwah Islam di Indonesia mengalami pergeseran dari ruang tradisional seperti surau dan pesantren menuju platform digital seiring berkembangnya era Masyarakat 5.0. Perubahan ini mempengaruhi pola otoritas keagamaan dan cara penyampaian pesan Islam, sehingga menimbulkan tantangan dalam menjaga nilai-nilai dakwah ulama Nusantara yang moderat dan berakar pada kearifan lokal. Penelitian ini secara eksplisit bertujuan menganalisis transformasi dakwah ke ruang digital, mengidentifikasi nilai-nilai dakwah ulama Nusantara yang tetap relevan, serta menelaah tantangan dan peluang dakwah Islam dalam konteks Masyarakat 5.0. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi literatur dengan pendekatan kualitatif melalui analisis tematik. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa dakwah digital memperluas jangkauan dan inovasi, namun juga menghadirkan tantangan berupa fragmentasi otoritas keagamaan dan komersialisasi konten. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada perumusan model rekontekstualisasi nilai-nilai ulama Nusantara seperti hikmah, tawazun, dan tasamuh dalam ekosistem dakwah digital yang human-centered sebagai landasan dakwah yang etis dan moderat di era kontemporer.

Educational Transformation with a Love-Based Curriculum: Teacher and Student Perspectives at MA Assa'adah Depok, West Java
This study aims to analyze educational transformation through the implementation of the Love-Based Curriculum (KBC) at MA Assa'adah, examining the perspectives of teachers and students. The KBC is viewed as an educational approach that emphasizes a balance between cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects, grounded in compassion, empathy, and caring. The research method employed a qualitative case study approach, involving 10 informants (5 teachers and 5 students). Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, presentation, and verification, with triangulation as a test of data validity. The results indicate that the KBC is understood as an effort to create a learning environment that humanizes students, where teachers act as conduits of knowledge and educators who instill the values ​​of love and caring. The learning method employed shifts from lecture-based learning to active student participation through discussions, group work, and collaborative projects, fostering a sense of community and belonging. However, the implementation of KBC still faces obstacles, such as teachers' lack of understanding of the concept, limited learning media, student resistance to new methods, a dense curriculum, and minimal professional training. This research offers novelty by integrating humanistic education theory into real-world practice at the madrasah level, and provides educational policy recommendations that emphasize the need for ongoing teacher training and the development of learning media that support KBC. Thus, KBC can be a strategy for educational transformation that focuses not only on academic achievement but also on the development of character and holistic human values. If implemented consistently and supported by appropriate policies, KBC has great potential to produce a generation that is not only intellectually intelligent but also possesses social sensitivity, empathy, and the ability to collaborate in a pluralistic society. This transformation is expected to address the challenges of education in the 5.0 century, which demands a balance between cognitive, emotional, and spiritual intelligence. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis transformasi pendidikan melalui penerapan Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta (KBC) di MA Assa’adah, dengan meninjau perspektif guru dan siswa. KBC dipandang sebagai pendekatan pendidikan yang menekankan keseimbangan antara aspek kognitif, afektif, dan psikomotorik, berlandaskan kasih sayang, empati, dan kepedulian. Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis studi kasus, melibatkan 10 informan yang terdiri dari 5 guru dan 5 siswa, serta data dikumpulkan melalui observasi partisipatif, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi. Analisis data dilakukan melalui reduksi, penyajian, dan verifikasi dengan triangulasi sebagai uji keabsahan data. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa KBC dipahami sebagai upaya menghadirkan suasana belajar yang memanusiakan siswa, di mana guru berperan sebagai penyampai ilmu dan pendidik yang menanamkan nilai cinta serta kepedulian. Metode pembelajaran yang digunakan beralih dari pembelajaran berbasis ceramah menjadi partisipasi aktif siswa melalui diskusi, kerja kelompok, dan proyek kolaboratif yang menumbuhkan rasa kebersamaan dan memiliki. Namun, implementasi KBC masih menghadapi kendala, seperti kurangnya pemahaman guru terhadap konsep ini, keterbatasan media pembelajaran, resistensi siswa terhadap metode baru, padatnya kurikulum, dan minimnya pelatihan profesional. Penelitian ini menawarkan kebaruan dengan mengintegrasikan teori pendidikan humanistik ke dalam praktik nyata di tingkat madrasah, serta memberikan rekomendasi kebijakan pendidikan yang menekankan perlunya pelatihan berkelanjutan untuk guru dan pengembangan media pembelajaran yang mendukung KBC. Dengan demikian, KBC dapat menjadi strategi transformasi pendidikan yang tidak hanya berfokus pada capaian akademik, tetapi juga pada pembentukan karakter dan nilai kemanusiaan secara utuh. Jika diimplementasikan secara konsisten dan didukung dengan kebijakan yang tepat, KBC berpotensi besar melahirkan generasi yang tidak hanya cerdas secara intelektual, tetapi juga memiliki kepekaan sosial, empati, serta kemampuan bekerja sama dalam masyarakat yang majemuk. Transformasi ini diharapkan dapat menjawab tantangan pendidikan abad society 5.0 yang menuntut keseimbangan antara kecerdasan kognitif, emosional, dan spiritual.

The Epistemology of Hadith in Muhammadiyah: From As-Sunnah As-Sahihah to As-Sunnah Al-Maqbulah
This study examines the epistemological transformation in Muhammadiyah’s approach to hadith, from an initial reliance on As-Sunnah As-Sahihah (authentic hadith) toward the more dynamic concept of As-Sunnah Al-Maqbulah (accepted hadith). This research identifies this shift as a significant epistemological evolution that integrates bayani (textual), burhani (rational), and irfani (contextual-spiritual) approaches. Using a qualitative descriptive method with historical-philosophical analysis, this study draws on Muhammadiyah’s primary documents, including the Himpunan Putusan Tarjih (HPT) and Manhaj Tarjih. The findings reveal three key phases of transformation: purification (1912-1970s), transition (1970s-2000), and contextualization (2000-present). The study concludes that this transformation has enabled Muhammadiyah to develop a living Islamic law system through collective ijtihad (ijtihad jama’i), creating a balance between textual integrity and contemporary relevance while contributing significantly to contemporary Islamic legal discourse in Indonesia Penelitian ini mengkaji transformasi epistemologis dalam pendekatan Muhammadiyah terhadap hadis, dari ketergantungan awal pada As-Sunnah As-Sahihah menuju konsep yang lebih dinamis yaitu As-Sunnah Al-Maqbulah. Kajian ini mengidentifikasi pergeseran tersebut sebagai evolusi epistemologis signifikan yang mengintegrasikan pendekatan bayani (tekstual), burhani (rasional), dan irfani (kontekstual-spiritual). Dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif yang dilengkapi analisis historis-filosofis, penelitian kepustakaan ini bersumber pada dokumen-dokumen primer Muhammadiyah, termasuk Himpunan Putusan Tarjih (HPT) dan Manhaj Tarjih. Temuan penelitian mengungkap tiga fase transformasi kunci: purifikasi (1912-1970-an), transisi (1970-an-2000), dan kontekstualisasi (2000-sekarang). Kajian ini menyimpulkan bahwa transformasi ini memungkinkan Muhammadiyah mengembangkan sistem hukum Islam yang hidup (living Islamic law system) melalui ijtihad kolektif (ijtihad jama’i), menciptakan keseimbangan antara integritas teks dan relevansi kontemporer sekaligus memberikan kontribusi signifikan bagi wacana hukum Islam kontemporer di Indonesia.

The Dhuha Prayer and Students’ Emotional and Character Development : A Psychospiritual Phenomenological Inquiry
In recent years, increasing academic pressure and emotional challenges among university students have highlighted the need for practices that support both emotional well-being and character development. This study examines how students of the Islamic Education Department (PAI) at FISH UNJ interpret the role of the Dhuha prayer in supporting emotional balance and character formation from a psychospiritual perspective. Employing a qualitative approach with a phenomenological inquiry, the research explores students’ lived experiences and perceived changes following the regular performance of the Dhuha prayer. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings reveal that the Dhuha prayer is perceived not only as a recommended religious practice, but also as a reflective moment that helps students organize their thoughts, reduce academic pressure, and manage emotional challenges within the campus environment. Regular engagement in the prayer is also associated with the development of discipline, inner calmness, and a stronger sense of personal responsibility. This study contributes to the understanding of religious practices as psychospiritual resources and suggests that the Dhuha prayer can be integrated into student development programs to support emotional stability and positive character formation in higher education contexts. Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, meningkatnya tekanan akademis dan tantangan emosional di kalangan mahasiswa telah menyoroti kebutuhan akan praktik-praktik yang mendukung kesejahteraan emosional dan pengembangan karakter. Studi ini meneliti bagaimana mahasiswa Jurusan Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) di FISH UNJ menafsirkan peran shalat Dhuha dalam mendukung keseimbangan emosional dan pembentukan karakter dari perspektif psikospiritual. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan penyelidikan fenomenologis, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi pengalaman hidup mahasiswa dan perubahan yang dirasakan setelah pelaksanaan shalat Dhuha secara rutin. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa shalat Dhuha tidak hanya dianggap sebagai praktik keagamaan yang dianjurkan, tetapi juga sebagai momen reflektif yang membantu mahasiswa mengatur pikiran mereka, mengurangi tekanan akademis, dan mengelola tantangan emosional dalam lingkungan kampus. Keterlibatan rutin dalam shalat juga dikaitkan dengan pengembangan disiplin, ketenangan batin, dan rasa tanggung jawab pribadi yang lebih kuat. Studi ini berkontribusi pada pemahaman praktik keagamaan sebagai sumber daya psikospiritual dan menunjukkan bahwa shalat Dhuha dapat diintegrasikan ke dalam program pengembangan mahasiswa untuk mendukung stabilitas emosional dan pembentukan karakter positif dalam konteks pendidikan tinggi.
