Conceptual Analysis: The Essence of Curriculum in Islamic Education

Sat, 30 May 2026 00:00:00 +0700

The curriculum plays a central role as the heart of education, determining the direction, process, and quality of learning outcomes. In the context of Islamic education, the curriculum is not merely understood as currere or an academic journey but rather as manhaj a comprehensive path of guidance. This study aims to conduct a conceptual review of the nature of the curriculum in Islamic education, covering its philosophical foundations, basic components, and development principles. The research method used is qualitative, specifically content analysis. Data were collected from various relevant primary and secondary sources and analyzed using content analysis techniques. The findings reveal that the essence of the Islamic education curriculum is a set of educational plans rooted in the Quran, the Sunnah, and Ijtihad, integrating revealed (naqli) and rational (aqli) knowledge. This curriculum is designed not only for the transfer of knowledge but also for the internalization of values to shape students into well-rounded individuals who are monotheistic, possess noble character, and demonstrate a balance of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor competencies. The implications of this concept require a dynamic curriculum that remains relevant to the times, technological advancements, and societal needs, without compromising fundamental Islamic values.

Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis Techniques for Evaluation Results

Fri, 30 May 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Educational evaluation is a crucial process for measuring the effectiveness of learning; however, the data obtained is often not analyzed optimally due to a limited understanding of appropriate analytical techniques. This study aims to conduct an in-depth examination of the technical procedures for analyzing evaluation data, both numerical (quantitative) and narrative (qualitative). The method used is a literature review by examining textbooks and national and international journal articles published between 2017 and 2025. The results of the study indicate that a comprehensive evaluation requires the integration of statistical analysis techniques to test the validity, reliability, and discriminant power of test instruments, as well as qualitative analysis using an interactive model to understand the meaning behind non-test data. A combination of both approaches (mixed methods) is recommended to provide a complete picture of student competencies and the quality of educational programs.

Ahmad Fathin, Muhammad Haris Riyaldi, Eka Nurlina — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to analyze the influence of knowledge, income, and access to information media on the interest of the community in cash waqf in Banda Aceh City, with religiosity as a moderating variable. A quantitative approach was used, involving 100 respondents selected through proportional stratified random sampling. The data analysis technique used was structural equation modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Square (PLS). The results showed that knowledge, income, and access to information media had a positive and significant effect on the community's interest in cash waqf. The religiosity variable was unable to moderate the influence of knowledge, income, and access to information media on the community's interest in cash waqf.

Women in the History of Islamic Education: Roles, Contributions, and Contemporary Challenges

Muhammad Ridwan, Tamrin Kamal, Riki Saputra — Sat, 30 May 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Studies on the role of women in Islamic education have often remained marginalized within the predominantly androcentric narratives of Islamic intellectual history. In fact, since the earliest period of Islam, women have played significant roles as learners, educators, transmitters of knowledge, and drivers of educational institutions. This disparity between historical realities and their academic representation constitutes the background of this study. This research aims to comprehensively examine the roles and contributions of women in the history of Islamic education, identify the various forms of their contributions from historical to contemporary perspectives, and analyze the challenges and opportunities faced by women in the context of Islamic education today. This study employs a qualitative approach using library research. Data were obtained from primary sources, including classical Islamic literature, biographies of female scholars, and works on the history of Islamic education, as well as secondary sources such as academic books, journal articles, and relevant scholarly publications from the last five years. Data collection was conducted through document analysis, while data analysis utilized content analysis and historical–critical analysis, with source triangulation applied to ensure data validity. The findings indicate that women have made significant and sustained contributions to Islamic education in intellectual, pedagogical, institutional, and socio-cultural domains. However, these roles have often been marginalized due to patriarchal social, cultural, and political factors. This study underscores the importance of reconstructing a more inclusive narrative of the history of Islamic education and strengthening gender-just policies and practices that are responsive to contemporary social dynamics.

Al-Ghazali’s Contributions to Islamic Education

Hasnan Hasnan, Eka Eramahi — Sat, 30 May 2026 00:00:00 +0700

As a thinker, Imam al-Ghazali has made significant intellectual contributions to the advancement of Islamic education. However, the application of al-Ghazali’s concepts has not yet been widely observed in Islamic educational institutions. The purpose of this paper is to examine the contribution of al-Ghazali’s thought to Islamic education. This paper focuses on three aspects: the first relates to ethics, the second to the curriculum, and the third to teaching methods. This research is descriptive qualitative in nature, employing content analysis. This involves examining and analyzing books, literature, magazines, notes, and reports related to the subject under study. The analysis revealed that al-Ghazali’s contributions to Islamic education are as follows: i) Ethics. According to al-Ghazali, good character (Akhlaq Mahmudah) is the fruit and ultimate goal of the entire educational process and the pursuit of knowledge. ii) Curriculum. Al-Ghazali views the curriculum not merely as a list of subjects, but as a roadmap for transforming the soul (tazkiyatun nafs) from blameworthy traits (akhlaq mazmumah) toward praiseworthy traits (akhlaq maḥmudah). iii) Teaching methods. According to al-Ghazali, the method of learning (tariqah al-ta’allum) cannot be separated from the goals of education, namely the purification of the soul (tazkiyatun nafs) and the attainment of ma’rifat of Allah.

The Quran from Abraham Geiger’s Perspective: Between the Historicity of Revelation and Theological Transformation

Muhammad Sururi Alfajri Wannahar Siregar, Dame Siregar — Sat, 30 May 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Abraham Geiger’s views on the Quran are often situated within the field of Orientalism, which emphasizes historical and comparative approaches. Geiger viewed the Quran as a text that emerged through interaction with earlier traditions, particularly Judaism, such that revelation is understood as part of a historical process. This study aims to critically examine Geiger’s views, particularly the concept of “creative appropriation” and the analysis of intertextuality between the Quran and Jewish literature. The method employed is qualitative research based on a literature review using a historical-philological and comparative approach. The findings indicate that Geiger identified narrative similarities between the Quran and Jewish traditions such as the Midrash and the Talmud; however, he also acknowledged theological transformations in the Quran within the context of 7th-century Arabia. Consequently, Geiger positioned Islam as a reformist continuation of the Semitic tradition, but tended to reduce revelation to a historical construct. Therefore, although his thought contributes to modern Quranic studies, a critical stance is necessary to preserve the theological integrity of the Quran.

A Husband’s Obligations Following a Divorce Outside the Religious Court in Society: A Perspective from Islamic Family Law

Hidayaturrohmi Hidayaturrohmi, Elimartati Elimartati, Najmil Khairat — Sat, 30 May 2026 00:00:00 +0700

children’s rights following divorce outside the Religious Court, the response of traditional leaders to the fulfillment of children’s rights following divorce outside the court, and who is responsible for child support following divorce outside the Religious Court in the traditional community of Nagari Tanjuang Bonai. The objectives of this study are to determine how the fulfillment of children’s rights following divorce outside the Religious Court is practiced, to understand the response of traditional leaders to the fulfillment of children’s rights following divorce outside the Religious Court, and to identify who is responsible for child support following divorce outside the Religious Court within the traditional community of Nagari Tanjuang Bonai. This study is a field research project employing a qualitative approach. Primary data was collected through interviews with niniak mamak and community leaders. Data collection techniques included interviews and documentation. Data analysis was conducted inductively to draw conclusions. The results of the study indicate that in the practice of fulfilling children’s rights following divorce within the Minangkabau community in Nagari Tanjung Bonai, instances of fathers failing to fulfill their obligations still occur. Of the 16 divorced couples, only 3 fathers adequately fulfilled their child support obligations, while the majority of the others failed to provide child support. Traditional leaders emphasized that divorce should be conducted through religious courts to ensure clear legal validity and avoid various adverse consequences. Nevertheless, they stressed that a father’s obligation to provide child support does not cease even if the divorce is conducted outside formal legal channels, as it is a religious obligation. In some cases, community elders play a role by facilitating agreements to ensure the father continues to fulfill his responsibilities. However, out of 13 respondents, only 3 consistently provide child support, while the other 10 do not, resulting in the mother bearing the greater burden of meeting the children’s needs.

Husbands’ Perceptions of Sighat Taklik Talak in Building Harmonious Families

Deden Nurjaman, Khumaedi Nurfatsyah Zein — Sat, 30 May 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to analyze husbands' perceptions of sighat taklik talak and its relevance in building harmonious families in Kesambi District, Cirebon City. Using a qualitative descriptive approach through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, the research involved the Head of the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA), religious figures, and husbands registered at Head of the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) Kesambi. Data were thematically analyzed through reduction, presentation, and conclusion-drawing stages. The findings reveal that the majority of husbands understand sighat taklik talak merely as an administrative formality rather than a binding moral-religious commitment. Two major inhibiting factors were identified: low Islamic and positive legal literacy among husbands, and the dominance of the local sasaton tradition that displaces family harmony orientation from a legal to a cultural-belief framework. Husbands with substantive understanding position sighat taklik talak as an instrument for preventing violations of wives' rights and as a foundation for family harmony. The study recommends the intensification of adaptive pre-marital education and the utilization of digital platforms by Head of the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) to strengthen husbands' awareness in realizing a sakinah, mawaddah, wa rahmah family.

Mustaqim Mustaqim, Hamdi Abdul Karim, Yossefli Indra — Sat, 30 May 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to analyze the concept of Islamic education financing through the management of business incubation assistance at the Madinatul Munawwarah Islamic Boarding School. This study employs a qualitative approach using the case study method. Data collection was conducted through interviews with the foundation and business managers, as well as direct observation of the boarding school’s business activities. The results indicate that the management of business incubation assistance can serve as a productive alternative source of financing. The business units developed contribute approximately 5%–10% to the boarding school’s operational needs. These findings suggest that integrating Islamic education financing with entrepreneurship can strengthen the financial independence of Islamic educational institutions.

The Influence of ABS-SBK Cultural Values on Religious Moderation Among Teachers at the Syech Ahmad Khatib Islamic Boarding School

Syawaldi Syawaldi, Novi Hendri, Yudi Gucandra — Sat, 30 May 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to analyze the influence of the cultural values of Adat Basandi Syarak, Syarak Basandi Kitabullah (ABS-SBK) on teachers’ attitudes toward religious moderation at the Syech Ahmad Khatib Al-Minangkabauwi Tahfidz Islamic Boarding School. The study employs a quantitative approach with a causal-associative design using a field survey method. The study population and sample consisted of all 24 teachers using total sampling. The research instrument was a questionnaire with a 1-to-5 Likert scale comprising 35 items, including 20 items for the ABS-SBK cultural values variable and 15 items for the religious moderation variable. Data analysis was conducted through validity, reliability, normality, linearity, and simple linear regression tests using statistical software. The results showed that all items of variable X were valid (r = 0.419 to 0.899) and reliable, with a Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.912. Variable Y had 13 valid items with a Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.906. The simple linear regression analysis yielded the equation Y = 8.230 + 0.658X, with a correlation coefficient R = 0.831 and a coefficient of determination R² = 0.690. This indicates that ABS-SBK cultural values have a positive and significant influence on teachers’ religious moderation, accounting for 69.0% of the variance, with a calculated t-value (7.000) greater than the critical t-value (2.074) at a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05. The dimension of internalization of traditional values is the strongest predictor in shaping teachers’ religious moderation attitudes in the Islamic Boarding School environment.

The Implementation of the Islamic Leadership Model in Enhancing the Effectiveness of Educational Management in Islamic Educational Institutions

Fahril Syahweli, Junaidi Junaidi — Sat, 30 May 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Islamic leadership model in enhancing the effectiveness of educational management in Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia. Islamic leadership is a leadership model grounded in the values of trustworthiness, justice, consultation, exemplary conduct, and responsibility in managing Islamic educational institutions. In the context of non-formal education, leadership plays a strategic role in improving the quality of institutional management, the effectiveness of learning, and the formation of an Islamic organizational culture. This study employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive method. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation. The research findings indicate that the implementation of the Islamic leadership model at PKBM Ibnu Taimiyah is carried out through the application of transformational, visionary, spiritual, participatory, and prophetic leadership. The application of this leadership model has been able to enhance the effectiveness of educational management, strengthen collaboration among educators, improve organizational discipline, and create a religious and conducive educational environment. Furthermore, Islamic leadership also contributes to improving the quality of educational services and the character development of students based on Islamic values. Thus, the implementation of the Islamic leadership model is a crucial factor in supporting the success of educational management in Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia.

The Transformation of Religious Moderation in the Islamic Religious Education Curriculum

Abdul Rahman, Novi Hendri, Rabiatul Adawiyah, Hidayatul Dina, Faizul Faizul — Sat, 30 May 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Religious moderation has become a crucial discourse in Indonesian Islamic education amid rising radicalism, intolerance, and identity polarization. This study focuses on how religious moderation is organically practiced in a multireligious educational setting. The study employs a qualitative case study design at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri 1 Kepulauan Meranti, Riau, utilizing document analysis, participant observation, and in-depth interviews with 15 informants. Data were analyzed through the stages of thematic reduction, display, and verification following Miles and Huberman. The findings indicate that religious moderation cannot be reduced to state policy alone but must emerge as a theological consciousness rooted in the Islamic value of wasathiyah. The study concludes that a holistic-integrative transformation of the Islamic Religious Education curriculum encompassing content, methods, activities, and character assessment is absolutely necessary to foster a generation that is moderate, tolerant, and committed to national unity. The case of State Madrasah Tsanawiyah 1 in the Meranti Islands, Riau, demonstrates that the coexistence of Islamic madrasahs and Buddhist educational institutions can serve as a living laboratory for religious moderation education, evidenced by organic interfaith cooperation that transcends formal policy mandates.

The synthesis results indicate that the values of tawassuth, i’tidal, tasamuh, syura, ishlah, qudwah, al-la unf, muwathanah, and i’tiraf have been effectively realized through national commitment, non-violent tolerance, and accommodation of local culture. This implementation has fostered harmony in line with Pancasila, resulting in fair attitudes, respect for differing opinions, and sustainable social harmony. This study offers recommendations for replicating this harmony model in other multicultural regions.

Reconstruction of Maqashid Sharia-Based Tax Accounting: The Integration of Tax and Zakat from an Islamic Economic Perspective

Dahlia Dahlia, Arfah Arfah, Aegisia Sukmawati, Rizkya Nabila — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to reconstruct the concept of tax accounting through the integration of taxes and zakat from the perspective of Islamic economics based on the maqashid al-sharia. To date, the tax and zakat systems have operated separately, resulting in suboptimal outcomes in terms of fiscal justice and public welfare. This study employs a qualitative method using a literature review approach, with data sources drawn from scientific journals, official government reports, and relevant and up-to-date Islamic economic literature. The data were analyzed using descriptive-qualitative techniques through a systematic process of data reduction, presentation, and conclusion-drawing. The results indicate that integrating taxes and zakat within the framework of maqashid syariah can enhance transparency, accountability, and taxpayer compliance, particularly among Muslim communities. Furthermore, this integration model has the potential to reduce the double burden of fiscal obligations and create a more equitable economic distribution system oriented toward the public good. The implications of this research suggest that the reconstruction of tax accounting based on Sharia values can serve as an alternative in the development of more inclusive and equitable fiscal policies in Indonesia.

The Tradition of Pingit Pra-Nikah Among the Community: A Review from the Perspective of Urf

Krisna Aldiyansah, Shafra Shafra — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study examines the pre-marital pingit tradition practised by the Javanese community in Bukit Kratai Village, Rumbio Jaya District, Kampar Regency, Riau, from the perspective of urf in Islamic law. The pingit tradition is a period of seclusion prior to the wedding, during which prospective brides and grooms are prohibited from leaving the house, encouraged to observe puasa mutih (white fasting), engage in self-care, and receive marital guidance from elders. This qualitative descriptive study employed a field research approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with customary leaders, religious figures, community leaders, and residents who had undergone pingit, as well as documentation. Findings show that the tradition lasts approximately two weeks in Bukit Kratai shorter than its original practice in Java of one to two months due to cultural acculturation among Javanese, Malay, and Batak communities in this transmigrant setting. From the perspective of urf in Islamic jurisprudence, the tradition is classified as urf shahih (valid custom) as it meets four criteria: rationally acceptable, socially beneficial, not contradicting the Qur'an or Sunnah, and widely practised within the community. The tradition aligns with Islamic values of preserving honour and purity before marriage as emphasised in Q.S Al-Ahzab: 33.

An Analysis of the Difficulties Early Childhood Students Face in Learning to Write in Arabic Language Instruction

Eko Rojana, Fadhila Suskha — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study was motivated by the difficulties experienced by young children in learning al-kitābah (Arabic writing skills) at Minang Smart Kindergarten in Pariaman City. The problems identified include difficulty recognizing and distinguishing the Hijaiyah letters, understanding the right-to-left direction of Arabic writing, and poor fine motor skills that affect the children’s writing ability. This study aims to analyze the forms of difficulties in learning al-kitābah, their causal factors, and to provide an overview of the efforts needed to overcome these difficulties. The study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The research subjects consisted of Arabic language teachers and the principal of Minang Smart Kindergarten in Pariaman City. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. Data validity was ensured through triangulation of sources, techniques, and time. The results of the analysis indicate that children still face difficulties in recognizing Hijaiyah letters with similar shapes, understanding the writing direction of Arabic which differs from Latin script and controlling hand movements while writing due to suboptimal fine motor development. The results of the discussion indicate that these difficulties are influenced by the cognitive developmental stage of young children, who are still in the preoperational stage, the habit of using the Latin alphabet in daily life, and limitations in fine motor skills. Therefore, al-kitābah instruction needs to be supported through repeated practice, the use of visual aids and engaging teaching methods, as well as intensive guidance from teachers so that the ability to write hijaiyah letters can develop optimally.

Comparative Analysis of Constructivist, Quantum, and Contextual Learning Models in Modern Education

Siti Nazwa, Azmi Abdul Aziz, Dadang Sutioso, Erinsa Eka Agustina, Abdul Azis — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This article aims to examine and analyze three innovative learning models, namely the constructivism model, the quantum teaching model, and the contextual teaching and learning (CTL) model in the learning process. This study employs a library research method by collecting and analyzing various theoretical sources and relevant empirical research findings. The results reveal that each of the three learning models possesses distinct characteristics, implementation stages, as well as advantages and limitations. The constructivism model positions students as active subjects who independently construct knowledge through stages of apperception, exploration, concept discussion, and application. The quantum teaching model, developed by Bobbi DePorter, applies the TANDUR framework (Tumbuhkan, Alami, Namai, Demonstrasikan, Ulangi, Rayakan) to create enjoyable, meaningful learning experiences that optimally empower students' potential. Meanwhile, the contextual learning model emphasizes the relevance of subject matter to students' real-life contexts through five essential learning forms: relating, experiencing, applying, cooperating, and transferring knowledge. The implications of this study affirm that the successful application of all three models is greatly influenced by student readiness, teachers' facilitation competence, availability of facilities and infrastructure, and the compatibility of instructional material characteristics. Therefore, selecting the appropriate and contextual learning model is paramount in realizing effective, active, and meaningful learning for students in the modern era.

The Integration of Audiovisual Media into the Islamic Religious Education Curriculum: Opportunities, Challenges, and Implications

Indah Syafri Lubis, Sriwardona Sriwardona, Desi Mayanti, Melia Sari — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to determine the effectiveness and role of audiovisual media in enhancing students’ understanding, motivation, and engagement in Islamic Religious Education. The method used is a qualitative approach employing content analysis, with data collection procedures involving a review of scientific articles and books (2010–2025). The analysis was conducted using thematic qualitative analysis to identify key findings regarding the benefits, challenges, and best practices of using audiovisual media in the context of Islamic Religious Education. The results indicate that audiovisual media enhance students’ understanding of religious concepts, memory retention, and learning motivation; reinforce the interpretation of religious values through visual and audio representations; and support differentiated instruction. Challenges include limitations in facilities and infrastructure, the quality of learning resources, and teachers’ readiness in developing audiovisual materials. The implications of this research include recommendations for the development of audiovisual materials based on the values of Islamic Religious Education, enhanced teacher training (technical and pedagogical competencies), and school policies for providing infrastructure and systematically integrating audiovisual media into the Islamic Religious Education curriculum to improve student learning outcomes and character.

Accountability in Education Funding to Achieve Transparent and Effective Education Governance

Randa Ramadhan, Hamdi Abdul Karim, Mohammad Ridwan — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Accountability in education financing is a key aspect of achieving transparent and effective education governance. Accountable financial management not only serves as a form of accountability for the use of education funds but also plays a role in improving the quality of governance in educational institutions. This study aims to analyze the concept of accountability in education financing, identify the principles of accountable financial management, and analyze the role of accountability in achieving transparent and effective educational governance from the perspectives of educational management and Islamic values. This study employs a qualitative method using a content analysis approach. Research data were obtained from various scientific sources, including books, national and international journal articles, policy documents, and relevant laws and regulations. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis techniques through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the analysis indicate that accountability in education financing plays a crucial role in enhancing transparency, effectiveness, and the quality of education governance. Principles of accountability such as transparency, responsibility, effectiveness, efficiency, and participation align with Islamic values such as trustworthiness (amanah), honesty (ṣidq), justice (al-'adl), responsibility (mas'uliyyah), consultation (shura), and the public interest (maslahah). Furthermore, the use of digital technology has proven to support the strengthening of accountability and transparency systems in the management of education funding. The results of this study can serve as a conceptual foundation for the development of transparent, effective, and accountable educational governance and as a reference for educational institution administrators in integrating the principles of good governance and Islamic values into the management of education funding.

The Use of Interactive Multimedia to Address the Limitations of Conventional Methods in Islamic Religious Education

Sat, 13 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

The teaching of Islamic Religious Education in various educational institutions still faces the challenge of a dominance of conventional methods, which tend to make students passive and less engaged in the learning process. This situation is exacerbated by the abstract nature of some Islamic Religious Education material, which makes it difficult to understand without the support of engaging media. This study aims to analyze the use of interactive multimedia in addressing the issues associated with conventional methods in Islamic Religious Education and to explore its role in supporting more active and innovative learning. The method used is qualitative research employing a content analysis approach to relevant literature. The findings indicate that interactive multimedia can enhance learning motivation, strengthen conceptual understanding, encourage active participation, and develop students’ digital literacy. Its application is relevant across various fields of Islamic Religious Education, though its success depends on educators’ competencies, the availability of facilities, and the appropriateness of instructional design. This study concludes that interactive multimedia is a potential innovative alternative for improving the quality of Islamic Religious Education in the digital age.

The Love-Based Curriculum Approach in Teaching Islamic Beliefs and Ethics: An Innovation for Character Building

Abdullah Abdullah, Normaita Normaita, Ronif Al-Ikhsan, Herlina Herlina — Sun, 14 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Moral crises in the educational environment such as violence, bullying, low empathy, and a weakening of social responsibility require the teaching of Akidah Akhlak to move beyond a cognitive orientation toward the internalization of values that touch upon the affective and spiritual dimensions of students. This article aims to analyze the Love-Based Curriculum as an innovative approach to Akidah Akhlak education in madrasahs, focusing on the concept of Panca Cinta, implementation strategies, classroom practice examples, and its implications for character building. The research employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method through the synthesis of policy documents, journal articles, and relevant Islamic educational literature. The findings indicate that the Love-Based Curriculum positions love for Allah and the Prophet, love for knowledge, love for oneself and others, love for the environment, and love for the homeland as pedagogical foundations that can be translated into teacher exemplification, dialogic communication, reflection on experiences, acts of kindness projects, the cultivation of moral character, and humanistic assessment. The novelty of this article lies in the development of a contextual implementation design for the Love-Based Curriculum in the subject of Aqidah Akhlak, enabling teachers to connect the subject matter of Aqidah with students’ real-life moral experiences in a more humanistic, practical, and transformative manner.

Parental-Child Emotional Bond and the Internalization of Islamic Educational Values

Khairul Anas, Martin Kustanti, Gusmira Wati — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to analyze the role of emotional attachment between parents and children in supporting the effectiveness of Islamic religious education. This study focuses on phenomena occurring in Indonesian society, where the quality of emotional relationships within the family is believed to be a key factor in the process of internalizing religious values in children. The study employs a qualitative method using a case study approach. Data were collected through field observations and in-depth interviews with informants consisting of parents and children at the research site. The results indicate that strong emotional attachment (secure attachment) fosters a warm, open, and trusting relationship, thereby facilitating the transmission and reception of religious values. Under such conditions, religious teachings are not merely understood as a set of rules but are internalized as an integral part of the child’s identity and a guiding principle for their life. Conversely, parent-child relationships characterized by emotional distance, authoritarianism, or marked by physical or verbal violence have the potential to lead to resistance toward the religious instruction provided. The findings of this study confirm that emotional closeness is a key foundation for the success of Islamic religious education within the family. Therefore, parents need to build loving relationships and effective communication as prerequisites for instilling religious values in their children.

Al-Dakhil in Rahmat Oemar Bakry’s Tafsir (An Analysis of the Exegesis of Surah Al-Baqarah and Ali ‘Imran)

M. Siddiq Lubis, Badoar Hasibuan — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

The background for this paper stems from the discovery of several interpretations in Tafsir Rahmat that are distinct from those of Indonesian exegetes in general. Tafsir Rahmat is an Indonesian-language exegesis of the Quran written by H. Oemar Bakry (d. 1985), an Indonesian scholar. The author then examined these distinctive interpretations using the al-dakhīl exegetical criticism method. Simply put, al-dakhīl can be understood as data that has no connection to Quranic exegesis, yet is included whether intentionally or not in the exegesis, leading the layperson to regard it as part of the Qur’anic exegesis. In simpler terms, al-dakhīl can be described as an interpretation that does not meet the criteria of an authentic (straightforward/correct) exegesis. After testing against the indicators of al-dakhīl interpretation, the author found that several of Oemar Bakry’s interpretations in Tafsir Rahmat fall into the category of al-dakhīl. The author is interested in pursuing this research further and has selected the interpretations of Surah al-Baqarah and Surah Āli ‘Imrān in Oemar Bakry’s Tafsir as the research subjects. The research was conducted as a qualitative library study, using Rahmat Oemar Bakry’s Tafsir as the subject of study, with the Quran, hadith collections, tafsir, and ‘Ulum Quran as primary sources, and books, articles, and journals related to this topic as supplementary sources. After being tested against the criteria for al-dakhīl interpretations derived from reference works in al-dakhīl studies, and compared with other Indonesian-language commentaries, the results of this study indicate that some of Oemar Bakry’s interpretations of Surah Al-Baqarah and Āli ‘Imrān in Tafsir Rahmat fall into the category of al-dakhīl. The al-dakhīl identified are of the type al-dakhīl bi al-ra’yī (derived from rational reasoning) in the form of al-dakhīl in literal interpretation, al-dakhīl in interpretive (maknawiah) interpretation, and al-dakhīl in scientific interpretation.

An Empirical Analysis of Inheritance Object Dispute Resolution in Indonesia

Mei Fiani, Yadi Harahap, Abdul Muhsin — Fri, 26 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This article aims to analyze the factors causing disputes over the determination of inheritance assets, examine the alternative dispute resolution mechanisms that have been implemented, and assess the effectiveness of mediation, negotiation, and other forms of non-litigation resolution in providing legal certainty and maintaining harmonious relationships among heirs. This study employs an empirical legal methodology using a case study approach. Data were collected through interviews with the disputing parties and community leaders, as well as through a review of court decisions. The findings indicate that inheritance disputes are generally triggered by differing perceptions regarding the ownership status of assets, the validity of the inherited assets, and the unilateral control of the decedent’s estate. The findings reveal that alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, particularly through mediation and negotiation, are more effective in creating peaceful, swift, and equitable solutions compared to litigation. The implications of this study underscore the importance of strengthening the role of ADR in Indonesia’s inheritance legal system as an instrument that not only ensures legal certainty but also maintains social harmony among heirs.

Hanum Salsabila, Puti Andam Dewi, Siska Yulia Rahmi, Desti Sartini — Sat, 27 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study was motivated by the low level of student engagement in learning, as evidenced by uneven student participation in class, students’ reluctance to ask questions, answer, and express their opinions, and the limited variety of instructional models used. In addition, students often had difficulty understanding the problems presented by teachers because they were not directly related to their own experiences. This study aims to determine whether the Critical Incident learning model influences students’ learning engagement in Akidah Akhlak lessons. This is a quantitative study using a quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent control group design. Data were collected using a questionnaire completed by the students. The study population consisted of 197 students, with a sample of 64 students: Class V.1 served as the experimental group and Class V.2 as the control group. The sampling technique used was non-probability purposive sampling. Based on the results of data analysis and discussion, the findings of this study are as follows. First, the learning engagement of students in Class V.2 without the use of the Critical Incident learning model had an average of -32%, falling into the low category. Second, the learning engagement of students in Class V.1 using the Critical Incident learning model had an average of 79%, falling into the active category. Third, the Critical Incident learning model has a significant effect on student learning engagement. This is supported by the results of the hypothesis test at a significance level of 0.05, which yielded a Sig. value of 0.00. Since Sig. 0.00 < 0.05, it can be concluded that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. This means that the Critical Incident learning model has an effect on students’ learning engagement in the Akidah Akhlak course.

Wiji Fitri Yanti, Gusmirawati Gusmirawati, Martin Kustati — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study was designed to analyze the impact of implementing Wordwall-based interactive learning media on the learning outcomes of eighth-grade students in the Akidah Akhlak course at an Islamic junior high school in Indonesia. It was found that eighth-grade students at this school were not achieving their full academic potential in the Akidah Akhlak course. This phenomenon is believed to be related to a lack of variety in teaching methods and low student participation in the teaching-learning process. This study employs a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method that adopts a Non-Equivalent Control Group design. This study involved 45 students, who were divided into two classes: VIII.1 as the comparison (control) group and VIII.2 as the treatment (experimental) group, which would undergo an intervention using the Wordwall platform. Data were collected through observation, evaluation of academic achievement, and document review. Data analysis included tests of normality, homogeneity, and hypothesis testing using the t-test for independent samples. The study results showed a significance value (Sig., 2-tailed) of 0.016. This value is lower than the threshold of 0.05, indicating a significant difference in learning achievement between the treatment group and the control group. These findings support the conclusion that the use of Wordwall has a positive impact on improving students’ learning outcomes in the Akidah Akhlak subject. Thus, Wordwall can be considered an effective digital learning alternative to enhance the quality of Akidah Akhlak instruction, given its ability to increase active student participation and create a more dynamic and engaging learning environment.

Orientalist Critiques of Quranic Authenticity: A Critical Analysis of Abraham Geiger and Theodore Nöldeke

Imel Yulia Sari, Badoar Hasibuan, Hanton Hanton — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Orientalist studies of the Quran have given rise to various criticisms that question the authenticity and originality of the revelation, one of which is the allegation that the Quran’s language is derived from Jewish traditions and earlier religions. Abraham Geiger and Theodore Nöldeke were Orientalist scholars who argued that certain vocabulary, religious concepts, laws, and stories in the Quran are closely linked to Jewish traditions and other foreign languages. This study aims to analyze Geiger and Nöldeke’s views on the allegations of linguistic duplication in the Quran and to examine Muslim scholars’ responses to these views. The study employs a qualitative method using a content analysis approach. Data were obtained from primary sources the works of Orientalists and secondary sources, including books, journals, and relevant literature on the sciences of the Quran (ulumul Quran). Data analysis was conducted using content analysis and descriptive-critical analysis. The results of the study indicate that the allegations of linguistic duplication in the Quran stem from a historical-philological approach that highlights similarities in vocabulary and traditions between the Quran and Jewish and Christian texts. However, Muslim scholars argue that these similarities are part of a process of acculturation and Arabization of language that does not diminish the authenticity of the Quran as a revelation from Allah. Thus, the existence of vocabulary that bears similarities to other languages cannot be used as a basis for denying the originality and miraculous nature of the Quran.

Pedagogical Models of Teachers in Improving Quranic Memorization among Early Childhood Students: A Qualitative Analysis

Nursyamsi Nursyamsi, Dedek Pabelan — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to examine teachers’ strategies in enhancing Quranic memorization among early childhood learners. The ability to memorize the Quran is considered one of the essential aspects of Islamic education that should be instilled from an early age through methods and strategies aligned with the developmental characteristics of children. In the learning process, teachers are required to design effective strategies so that Quranic memorization activities become easier, more enjoyable, and meaningful for young learners. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design, as this method allows for a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon within its real-life context. Data were collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the principal, teachers, and students. The data analysis process followed the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, as outlined by Miles and Huberman, ensuring that the findings were systematically examined and academically reliable. The results of the study indicate that the strategies used by teachers to improve Quranic memorization include the application of the talaqqi method, repetition (muraja’ah), daily habituation, the provision of motivation and rewards, as well as parental involvement in supporting children’s memorization at home. Supporting factors for successful memorization consist of teacher competence, a religious school environment, and family support, while inhibiting factors include differences in children’s abilities, limited instructional time, and insufficient parental assistance at home. The study concludes that the implementation of well-planned, consistent strategies tailored to the developmental stages of early childhood can significantly enhance Quranic memorization skills and foster a love for the Quran from an early age. In this way, the research contributes to the development of Islamic educational practices, particularly in shaping Quranic-oriented generations through integrative and sustainable pedagogical approaches.

The Effects of Profitability, Fixed Asset Intensity and Executive Characteristics on Tax Avoidance in Muslim Countries

Rani Kusuma Wardhani, Rahmi Isriani — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Tax avoidance has become a critical issue due to the conflict of interest between companies seeking to reduce their tax liabilities and the government striving to increase state revenue. This study aims to explore and analyze the influence of profitability, fixed asset intensity, and executive characteristics on tax avoidance among companies in the industrial sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2020 to 2024, both individually and collectively. An associative quantitative method was used in this study to investigate the causal relationships among the variables. The data were obtained from the official website of the Indonesia Stock Exchange and cover five observation periods, namely 2020 through 2024. The population for this study consisted of 65 companies, and 12 companies were selected as the sample based on specific criteria. The sample was obtained using purposive sampling, resulting in a total of 60 data points. To ensure the reliability and accuracy of the proposed model, descriptive statistical tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, and hypothesis testing were conducted using SPSS version 26. The conclusions that can be drawn from the findings of this study are: i) profitability is not influenced by tax avoidance; ii) the fixed-asset intensity variable has a negative and significant effect on tax avoidance; iii) the executive character variable has a positive and significant effect on tax avoidance; and based on these combined results, profitability, fixed-asset intensity, and executive character significantly influence tax avoidance. The results of this study have implications for the tax audit process in terms of enhancing oversight of companies with specific characteristics, thereby minimizing aggressive tax avoidance.

Learning motivation plays a crucial role in supporting the success of learning activities at Quranic education institutions. Observations in the field indicate variations in learning motivation, with some students at these institutions still exhibiting less-than-optimal enthusiasm. This study aims to explore the actual state of learning motivation, identify determining factors, and map out and formulate strategies for its development in a thorough and detailed manner. A qualitative approach using a case study design was employed, focusing on an in-depth analysis of a single institutional setting as the unit of analysis. Data collection was conducted through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving teachers, students, and parents. The research findings indicate that motivation is the result of an interaction between internal factors including interest, self-confidence, and physical condition and external factors such as family support, teaching methods, peer influence, and excessive use of electronic devices. Based on these findings, integrated development strategies have been identified and formulated, including creative and interactive learning, strengthening partnerships with parents, a reward system, and the development of a sustainable religious education program. In conclusion, this case study demonstrates that improving motivation requires an approach tailored to the unique characteristics and needs of the Quran educational institution in question.

The Effect of the Tilawah Method on Nagham’s Ability to Recite the Quran

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to determine the effect of the tilawah method on students’ ability to recite the Quran with proper intonation in the Quran and Hadith course at Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia. This study employs a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research sample was selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through an oral test of intonation ability and analyzed using a normality test and a paired-sample t-test with the aid of SPSS. The results indicate that the students’ intonation ability improved after the implementation of the tilawah method, as evidenced by the increase in the mean post-test score compared to the pre-test score. The hypothesis test yielded a significance level (2-tailed) of < 0.05, indicating that the tilawah method has a significant effect on the students’ nagham skills in reciting the Quran. The implications of this study suggest that the tilawah method can be used as an alternative teaching method for the Quran and Hadith to improve students’ nagham skills and the quality of their Quranic recitation.

Sufi Interpretive Patterns in Indonesian Quranic Exegesis

Maulida Rizqa Hasanah, Junizar Suratman — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This research is motivated by the many patterns of interpretation. Viewed from a historical perspective, Sufi interpretation is a manifestation of the spiritual seriousness of people who are clean, sincere and clear-hearted to interpret and reflect on the intentions of Allah SWT. in His word. Sufi interpretation is defined as a method or form of interpreting the verses of the Quran that is different from its apparent meaning because of the implied instructions. This study aims to discuss the patterns of Sufi interpretation in Indonesia by explaining several sub-chapters, namely; the meaning of Sufism and Sufism, the history of the development of Sufism and Sufism in Indonesia, Sufism in the Quran, the pattern of Sufism in the study of interpretation (Sufi interpretation), and Sufi interpretation figures. The method used is qualitative with a library research approach. After conducting research, the results were obtained that the pioneer of Sufism was Hamzah Fansuri. Holistically, the characteristic forms of Sufistic interpretation are divided into two, namely Isyari and Nazhari interpretations. However, among Indonesian tafsir scholars who are also experts in the field of Sufism, none of them wrote their tafsir books using Sufistic styles in the form of Isyari or Nadzari. This is because they separate the science of Sufism from the science of interpretation. So that in writing their interpretations, they still adhere to the meaning of zahir and the rules of interpretation that apply in general.

Financial Reporting of Mosques under ISAK 35: Transparency and Accountability in Nonprofits

Nicholas Caniago, Septria Susanti — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

As nonprofit organizations, mosques have a responsibility to present transparent and accountable financial statements to their congregants and donors. However, many mosques still prepare financial statements in a rudimentary manner and do not adhere to applicable accounting standards. This study aims to analyze the application of ISAK 35 in the presentation of financial statements at a mosque in Indonesia. The study employed a descriptive qualitative method, using primary data sources such as interviews and secondary data sources such as financial statements, transaction records, and a list of the mosque’s fixed assets. Data collection was conducted through interviews and documentation, while data analysis involved reconstructing the financial statements in accordance with ISAK 35 provisions. The results indicate that the financial statements of the Jami’ Pauh Mosque are still prepared in a simplified manner and include only revenues and expenses. This presentation does not yet meet the requirements of ISAK 35 because it does not include a statement of financial position, a statement of comprehensive income, a statement of changes in net assets, and a statement of cash flows. After reconstruction based on ISAK 35, the following figures were obtained: a statement of financial position of Rp 4,053,488,666.67; a comprehensive income deficit of Rp 95,388.89; net assets of Rp 4,053,488,666.67; and a cash flow balance of Rp 4,921,500.00. These findings highlight the importance of improving the accounting skills of mosque administrators so they can apply appropriate financial reporting standards.

Mandatory Bequests and Succession in Islamic Inheritance Law

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Death creates legal consequences in the form of the transfer of rights and obligations to heirs. In Islamic inheritance law, inheritance issues are not only related to the distribution of inheritance assets but also concern the protection of parties who may lose inheritance rights, such as orphaned grandchildren and relatives who do not receive inheritance shares. To address these issues of justice, Indonesian Islamic law has developed the concepts of compulsory bequest (wasiat wajibah) and substitute heirs as regulated in the Compilation of Islamic Law. This study aims to analyze the concepts, legal foundations, implementation, and relevance of compulsory bequests and substitute heirs in realizing justice within Islamic inheritance law in Indonesia. This research employs a normative legal research method with a library research approach. Data were collected from primary legal sources, including the Quran, Hadith, the Compilation of Islamic Law, and relevant court decisions, as well as secondary legal sources such as books, scientific journals, and previous studies. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and analytically through conceptual and statutory approaches. The findings indicate that compulsory bequests serve as a legal instrument to protect individuals who are not entitled to direct inheritance rights, such as adopted children, adoptive parents, and, in certain judicial practices, heirs of different religions. Meanwhile, substitute heirs represent a reform of Islamic inheritance law that allows grandchildren to replace the position of their deceased parents who passed away before the testator. Both concepts share the same objective of promoting justice, public welfare, and protection of family economic rights. Therefore, compulsory bequests and substitute heirs constitute forms of Islamic legal ijtihad that remain relevant to contemporary societal needs and are consistent with the principles of maqashid al-shariah in preserving wealth and lineage.

The Role of Islamic Education Teachers in Shaping Elementary Students’ Religious Character through Classroom Management

Sellyna Bilofa Sitompul, Mustafa Mustafa — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This research is motivated by the important role of Islamic religious education teachers, classroom management, and religious character education, as well as the supporting and inhibiting factors that can interfere with the process of developing students' religious character. Religious character is expected to shape students with religious principles and good morals. This research uses a qualitative method with field research. Data collection techniques were conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques used data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was validated through source triangulation and technical triangulation. The research informants consisted of the principal, Islamic religious education teacher, fifth-grade homeroom teacher, and fifth-grade students. The results of the study indicate that the role of Islamic religious education teachers in shaping the religious character of fifth-grade students based on classroom management is implemented through management functions including planning, organizing, implementing, and supervising. During the planning stage, Islamic religious education teachers develop learning activities and habits that instill religious values. During the organizing and implementing stages, teachers act as educators, guides, motivators, and role models through activities such as praying before class, reading the Quran, praying in congregation, and instilling attitudes of discipline, honesty, and responsibility. During the supervising stage, teachers monitor the development of students' religious character. Supporting factors in the development of students' religious character include teacher role models, a religious school environment, and parental support. Inhibiting factors include limited supporting facilities, diverse student characteristics, and influences from the outside environment. This research is expected to provide recommendations for improving the quality of religious character education through classroom management at elementary school, so that students are not only academically intelligent but also spiritually intelligent.

Reconstructing Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences within Islamic Educational Psychology: Toward a Model of Insan Kamil

Akh. Fad Firdosi, Siti Rohimah — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to reconstruct Howard Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences within the perspective of Islamic Educational Psychology through a library research approach based on conceptual analysis and qualitative content analysis. Data were collected from Gardner’s primary works, literature on Islamic Educational Psychology, and national and international scholarly articles published between 2020 and 2026. The findings indicate that Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences aligns with the concept of fitrah, as both acknowledge the diversity of human potential. However, Gardner’s framework remains oriented toward a humanistic paradigm that places self-actualization as the ultimate goal, and thus does not fully accommodate the dimensions of tauhid, spirituality, and morality. The reconstruction integrates the concepts of fitrah, ‘aql, qalb, ruh, and akhlaq into a paradigm that positions fitrah as the foundation, Gardner’s eight intelligences as basic potentials, and the integration of intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and moral dimensions as mechanisms of development, with insan kamil as the ultimate goal of education. This model expands Gardner’s theory while providing a conceptual foundation for the development of curriculum, learning strategies, and assessment in Islamic Education that is more holistic and oriented toward tauhidic values.

Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory in the Paradigm Transformation of Islamic Educational Psychology

Ahmad Syafiq, Siti Rohimah — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study examines the paradigm transformation of intelligence from the concept of Intelligence Quotient (IQ) to Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences (MI) within the perspective of Islamic Educational Psychology. The purpose of this research is to analyze the shift in the concept of intelligence and to integrate it with Islamic educational values. A qualitative approach was employed, using library research and content analysis techniques. Data sources were drawn from primary and secondary literature relevant to intelligence theory and Islamic education. The findings reveal that the Intelligence Quotient (IQ) paradigm is limited and reductionist, as it emphasizes only cognitive aspects. In contrast, the Multiple Intelligences theory provides a broader and multidimensional understanding of human intelligence. From an Islamic perspective, intelligence encompasses not only intellectual aspects but also the dimensions of reason (‘aql), heart (qalb), and spirit (ruh), all oriented toward servitude to Allah SWT. The integration of Multiple Intelligences with Islamic education produces a holistic, humanistic, and transcendental paradigm of intelligence. In conclusion, the transformation of the intelligence paradigm demonstrates a shift from a single-dimensional approach to a multidimensional framework aligned with Islamic values in shaping the concept of insān kāmil.
