Recontextualization of Ecological Verses of the Quran in Responding to Floods and Landslides in Sumatra in 2025 (Thematic Study of Ecological Verses)
The Major losses are often understood solely as natural events without linking them to theological-ecological dimensions. This study aims to explain the causal factors of the disaster, interpret the ecological verses of the Qur'an through a thematic (maudūʿī) approach, and articulate the relevance of its message as a basis for ecological ethics. This study uses a qualitative method based on literature (library research) by collecting and analyzing the Qur'an through interpretations of Quraish Shihab, Hamka, and al-Marāghī, combined with empirical disaster data. The results of the study indicate that the ecological framework in Quranic exegesis is categorized into roles: humans as khalīfah fī al-ardḍ, entrusted with safeguarding the earth; the prohibition of ifsād as the operational norm of this mandate; and fasād as an empirical diagnosis and a call to yarjiʿūn. These findings have implications for the basis of Islamic environmental ethics (tawḥīd, amānah, ʿadl), which can be implemented through fiqh al-bī'ah and by strengthening the ecological awareness of Muslim communities.

Flexing Charity on Social Media: A Thematic Qur'anic Study of Philanthropic Verses
The rapid development of social media has transformed philanthropy into highly visible digital self-presentation, giving rise to "charity flexing." While previous research examines this through Islamic law and ethics, comprehensive thematic (maudhu'i) analyses of philanthropic verses remain limited. This study aims to analyze the Qur'anic concept of philanthropy and its relevance to social media flexing. Employing a qualitative library research approach, this study utilizes the thematic interpretation method to collect and analyze verses related to zakat, infaq, sadaqah, and waqf (ZISWAF). The findings reveal that Qur'anic philanthropy is grounded in sincerity, social justice, public welfare, and solidarity. Furthermore, the ethical distinction between commendable digital philanthropy and problematic flexing lies in intention, motivation, and social impact. Publicly displaying charity can boost social awareness and transparency; however, it risks riya’ (ostentation) when driven by self-promotion. This study contributes an integrated ethical framework to understand digital philanthropy and online self-presentation, concluding that digital-era philanthropic practices must balance spiritual sincerity with social responsibility, supported by digital ethical literacy to prevent the normalization of performative charity.

Internalisation of Ethical Values in Sharia Financial Literacy-Based Curriculum Integration at Islamic Boarding Schools
This study examines the development of ethical dimensions and Islamic principles in a sharia financial literacy curriculum at the Al-Mujtama Islamic Boarding School in Pamekasan, Madura, East Java. This research employed a qualitative approach within an empirical juridical design. Data were obtained from five informants, including leaders, teachers, and students. Data collection techniques used interviews, observation, and documentation. The study concluded that the integration of sharia financial literacy can be achieved through three main patterns: (1) horizontal curriculum integration, by inserting sharia financial values and principles into existing courses; (2) vertical integration curriculum, through the development of learning materials specifically for sharia financial literacy or management; and (3) co-curricular integration, through extracurricular activities such as sharia investment clubs, business competitions, and industrial internship programs.

Banjar Local Wisdom as a Dialectic in MI Arabic Language Teaching: A Comparative Analysis Between Formal Curriculum and Nusantara Islamic Values
This study examines the dialectic between Banjar local wisdom and Arabic language pedagogy in Islamic Elementary Schools (MI) through the lens of Nusantara Islam. It addresses the critical tension between text-centric formal curricula and the sociocultural realities of students. Utilizing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and Comparative Meta-Synthesis, the research identifies that conventional, formalistic approaches often result in low student engagement and cultural detachment. Findings demonstrate that integrating Banjar values—such as papadah, pantun, and gotong royong—transforms Arabic instruction into a communicative, humanistic, and relevant process. The study culminates in the "Transformational Dialectical Conceptual Model," positioning local wisdom not merely as a teaching aid but as an epistemic foundation for pedagogy. This model redefines Arabic learning as a medium for character formation and cultural identity reinforcement. These results offer a strategic framework for developing localized curricula and contextual teacher competencies, providing a new direction for Indonesian basic Islamic education.

Reconceptualizing Teacher Motivation: Integrating Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory with Niat and Ikhlas in Islamic Education
This study aims to analyze the role of niat (religious intention) and ikhlas (sincerity) as spiritual motivators in the work motivation of madrasah teachers through the integration of Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory with Islamic values. The study is grounded in the issue of low teacher welfare in madrasahs, which challenges the assumptions of conventional motivation theories that primarily emphasize material factors. This research employed a qualitative approach using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) involving 15 purposively selected informants from MTs An-Nizham Jambi City. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings reveal that hygiene factors, such as low salaries and limited facilities, did not become the primary source of demotivation because they were compensated by spiritual orientations through niat lillahi ta‘ala and ikhlas. Niat functioned as an intrinsic motivation that provided transcendental meaning to teaching, while ikhlas served as a psychological-spiritual buffer in dealing with material limitations. This study extends Herzberg’s Theory by demonstrating that spirituality can function as a compensatory factor within faith-based organizations. The findings are also relevant for the development of human resource management in value-based and religious organizations.

Integrating Strategic Planning, Distributed Leadership, and Innovation-Driven Technologies for School Improvement
This study aims to analyze the integration of strategic planning, distributed leadership, and innovation-driven technology in improving school quality in the era of digital transformation. The research employs a qualitative approach using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Data were collected from Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, and Google Scholar databases covering publications from 2015 to 2025. The selection process involved identification, screening, eligibility assessment, and inclusion based on relevance, academic contribution, and alignment with the research focus. The data were analyzed using thematic synthesis to identify patterns, key themes, and conceptual relationships among the selected studies. The findings indicate that sustainable school improvement cannot be achieved through isolated approaches but requires the integration of three core elements: strategic planning as institutional direction, distributed leadership as a collaborative mechanism, and innovation-driven technology as an accelerator of transformation. These elements are mutually reinforcing in enhancing schools’ adaptive capacity to global educational changes. Based on the synthesis, this study proposes “The Nexus of School Improvement” as a conceptual framework that explains the synergistic relationship among the three dimensions. The study contributes theoretically to the development of educational management literature and offers practical implications for policymakers and school leaders in designing sustainable, collaborative, and digitally driven school improvement strategies.

Optimizing Classroom Management Strategies to Enhance Student Academic Achievement: A Case Study of Rural Primary Education in Indonesia
Classroom management in rural settings often faces multifaceted challenges, ranging from limited resources to socio-economic constraints. While urban education has been extensively studied, there is a scarcity of focused research on how optimized management strategies correlate with academic performance in Indonesian rural primary schools. Objective: This study aims to analyze the implementation of optimized classroom management strategies and their efficacy in enhancing student academic achievement at SDN Siyar Rembang. Methods: Employing a qualitative case study design, data were gathered through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentary analysis. The subjects included the school principal, teachers, and students, selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, ensuring trustworthiness through triangulation and thick description. Results: The findings reveal that optimization is achieved through three core pillars: proactive spatial engineering, fluid transition management, and culturally responsive relational pedagogy (based on the Gotong Royong principle). Observations indicated a 30% increase in Academic Learning Time (ALT) when reactive discipline was replaced with proactive "withiness" and non-verbal cues. Conclusion: This study concludes that management precision can offset infrastructural limitations in rural areas. Optimizing the classroom environment creates a psychologically safe and structured ecosystem that directly fosters cognitive engagement and sustainable academic excellence.

The Evolution of Sharia Fintech Contracts: A Systematic Review of Islamic Banking Ecosystem Integration in Indonesia (2020–2025)
The acceleration of financial digitalization in Indonesia has positioned Islamic fintech as a crucial pillar within the banking ecosystem through linkage and channeling models. This study aims to map literature characteristics, analyze growth trends, dissect thematic contract transformations, and formulate strengthening strategies for Indonesia’s Islamic fintech-banking landscape. Utilizing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with the PRISMA protocol, 20 core articles were meticulously curated from 420 references spanning 2020–2025. Findings indicate a dominance of qualitative methods (60%), with an exponential surge in publications during 2024–2025 driven by post-pandemic regulatory shifts. Thematic synthesis reveals a significant transition from simple Murabahah contracts toward complex schemes such as Salam, Musyarakah, and Hybrid Contracts (al-uqud al-murakkabah). Nevertheless, a critical regulatory gap persists between DSN-MUI Fatwa No. 117/2018 and technical policies regarding digital risk mitigation. This study recommends harmonizing Lex Specialis laws, implementing Regulatory Technology (RegTech) for automated smart contract-based sharia audits, and optimizing the synergy of Islamic social funds (Ziswaf). These strategies aim to achieve financial inclusion aligned with Maqashid Sharia principles. Ultimately, the developed framework serves as a strategic blueprint for Muslim-majority countries to accelerate sharia-compliant digital financial integration globally.

Social Hierarchy and Linguistic Anxiety: A Quantitative Analysis of Arabic Speaking Barriers Among Indonesian Students in an Immersion Environment
Speaking skills (Maharah al-Kalam) are a vital component in foreign language acquisition; however, they are often hindered by psychological factors, particularly Foreign Language Anxiety (FLA). This study aims to investigate the level of Arabic language anxiety among students of Universitas Darussalam Gontor, with a focus on the influence of interlocutor hierarchy: lecturers, seniors, and peers. This research employs a descriptive quantitative design involving 77 students of the Arabic Language Education Program as respondents, using a questionnaire as the research instrument. The findings indicate that students generally experience high levels of anxiety across all interaction contexts, with a clear hierarchical pattern. Interaction with lecturers triggers the highest level of anxiety (Mean: 13.21), influenced by fear of academic evaluation. Interaction with seniors ranks second (Mean: 13.10), psychologically influenced by the internalization of the cultural value of ta’zhim, which refers to deep respect for seniors/teachers and may create pressure to perform perfectly as well as fear of making mistakes. Meanwhile, interaction with peers shows the lowest level of anxiety (Mean: 12.74), although it still falls within the high category due to social pressure and concerns about negative judgment, such as being labeled “showing off” or “acting smart.” This study concludes that Arabic language anxiety in the pesantren context is not only derived from individual factors but is also significantly influenced by social hierarchical structures. Therefore, this research contributes to the development of pedagogical communication in Arabic language learning, particularly in designing adaptive and socially sensitive communication strategies to reduce language anxiety.

The Rise of Islamic Digital Pedagogy: A Systematic Review of Blended-PJBL Trends within Indonesia's Independent Curriculum (2021-2026)
The current era of digital disruption has triggered a significant transformation in the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) system, particularly driven by the Independent Curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka) which requires adaptive pedagogical innovation. This study aims to synthesize the evolutionary trends of digital learning in PAI, evaluate the effectiveness of various digital tools, and analyze the integration of blended learning models during the 2021–2026 period. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach based on the PRISMA protocol, this study examined 18 selected scientific articles from an initial pool of 840 publications identified through Google Scholar and Crossref databases. The findings reveal a growing shift toward the concept of Islamic Digital Pedagogy, where the Blended Project-Based Learning (Blended-PjBL) model emerges as one of the most effective pedagogical instruments. This model enables the integration of asynchronous digital learning with collaborative real-world projects, allowing students not only to understand theoretical concepts but also to internalize Islamic values through practical social engagement that supports the Pancasila Student Profile (P5). Furthermore, the use of digital platforms such as Wordwall, Quizizz, Canva, and CapCut enhances student engagement and encourages learners to become active producers of digital learning content. Despite these opportunities, the transformation of digital learning in PAI also faces several challenges, including disparities in teachers’ digital literacy and ethical concerns related to the use of Artificial Intelligence in learning environments. In this context, the concept of fiqh al-muamalah al-raqmiyyah is proposed as an ethical framework to guide responsible digital interaction and ensure that technological innovation remains aligned with Islamic moral values. The findings of this study highlight the practical importance of integrating pedagogical innovation, digital literacy, and ethical guidance in shaping the future of Islamic education in the Society 5.0 era.

Integrating Sharia Literacy and Digital Philanthropy Amidst the FoMO Phenomenon
The era of financial digitalization triggers behavioral pathologies among Muslim Generation Z through Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), driving impulsive consumption (israf). While existing literature narrowly positions Sharia financial literacy as a passive, theoretical cognitive instrument, this study aims to conceptualize the active moderating roles of Sharia financial literacy and digital philanthropy in mitigating these algorithm-driven distortions. Employing a Qualitative Systematic Literature Review (SLR) via the PRISMA protocol, 24 peer-reviewed articles (2019–2025) were analyzed from Google Scholar, Crossref, and Dimensions using Publish or Perish. The primary novelty of this study lies in its theoretical synthesis, introducing the "Transcendental Moral Filter Ecosystem". This innovative model restructures the expanded Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) by integrating transcendental accountability (Hifdz al-Mal within the Maqasid Sharia framework) as an active value anchor. The findings demonstrate that cyber-based Sharia literacy acts as a dynamic moral filter, reorienting FoMO-driven positional consumption into productive economic decisions through digital philanthropy optimization (Ziswaf). This study offers a vital structural framework for academics and regulators in formulating Islamic financial education strategies resilient to modern cyber pathologies.

Sustainable Character Building: A Model for Integrating Coastal Islamic Values into Secondary Education
This study aims to analyze the implementation of sustainability values within various educational activities at secondary education, encompassing intracurricular, extracurricular, and co-curricular programs. The scientific novelty lies in the development of a holistic integration model based on iman, ilmu, amal (faith, knowledge, practice) within the context of coastal Islamic education at secondary education. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed to explore how the principles of sustainability spiritual, social, cultural, and environmental are integrated into Islamic-based school activities. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and literature review. The findings reveal that intracurricular activities incorporate sustainability values through ecological responsibility, local resources, and green technologies. Extracurricular programs promote spiritual, social, and cultural sustainability. Co-curricular activities cultivate empathy and moral responsibility. Theoretically, this integration succeeds through a faith-based normative driver (khal?fah, amanah, i?s?n) that aligns moral identity with stewardship practices, strengthening intrinsic motivation for pro-environmental behavior. This study concludes that Islamic education holds great potential in fostering sustainable character development through a holistic approach, reinforcing Islamic schools as agents of social transformation toward sustainable development.

Bridging Modernity and Religiosity: A Semiotic Analysis of Islamic Values Representation in Contemporary Indonesian Digital Cinema
Ethics and morality are central to Islamic education in shaping youth character and spirituality. In the digital era, when media strongly influences adolescents’ values and behavior, film can become an effective medium for contextual Islamic teaching. This study analyzes the representation of Islamic values in *Santri Pilihan Bunda* through symbols, narrative structure, and character development, while offering a different focus from Harahap (2025), which examines children’s animated films with explicit religious symbols. Unlike that study, this research explores a youth-oriented digital series and how Islamic values are negotiated within modern popular culture. Using a qualitative semiotic approach, the study examines scenes, dialogues, and visual signs through repeated viewing and interpretation. The findings show that the film represents key Islamic values, including parental responsibility, the sanctity of relationships through *ta’aruf*, respect for parents, sincerity, patience, and the spirit of *hijrah* (self-improvement). The film also constructs these values as a counter-narrative to permissive culture by framing app-based dating and social-media virality as signs of moral crisis, then presenting *ta’aruf*, family authority, the pesantren environment, and religious rituals as symbols of moral restoration. Thus, *Santri Pilihan Bunda* functions not only as entertainment, but also as a medium of *da‘wah* and character education for Muslim youth in the digital age.

Islamic Law View on Standard Education Expenses as Child Support: Case Study of Migrant Families in Klakah, Lumajang Regency
This study examines the Islamic standard for educational costs as child support for migrant families in Klakah Village, Lumajang Regency. This research approach implemented a qualitative approach with an empirical juridical design. Data were obtained from five informants whose husbands were currently living away from home. Data collection techniques used interviews, observation, and documentation. The results showed that two families were not yet fully aware of their responsibility for providing for their children's education, and three families were still fulfilling their responsibilities to cover their children's education costs. The reason for not meeting educational costs was the family's focus on building a house and paying off debts. Parents recognized the importance of balancing material and religious aspects in child rearing. Keywords: Educational costs, child support, Islamic law

Legal Protection of Teaching Staff in Light of The Maqasid Al-Shari’ah as outlined in Law Number 14 of 2005 Concerning Teachers And Lecturers
This study examines the legal protection of teaching staff in light of the maqasid al-Shari’ah (objectives of Islamic law) as outlined in Law Number 14 of 2005 concerning Teachers and Lecturers. This research approach implements a qualitative approach with a normative juridical design. Data were obtained through primary sources, including laws on education and books on maqasid al-Shari’ah. The data collection technique of a literature study is a systematic process of gathering information from written sources. The results show that Law Number 14 of 2005, Articles 39 and 41, emphasize the obligation of the government, regional governments, communities, professional organizations, and educational institutions to protect teachers from violence, intimidation, threats, or unfair treatment. The purpose of Sharia lies in the principle of Hifz al-Nafs, which includes guaranteeing physical and psychological safety from acts of violence, abuse, or criminalization while carrying out teaching duties. This aligns with the human rights principles recognized in Islam to honor teachers. Keywords: legal protection, educators, maqasid al-Shari’ah, law
Navigating the Deep Approach to Learning in Islamic Education: A Study of Its Implementation at State Senior High School
This study employed a qualitative descriptive design to analyze the implementation of the Deep Approach to Learning in Islamic Education at State Senior High School 1 Palangka Raya under the Merdeka Curriculum. Data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis involving Islamic Education teachers, the principal, the Vice Principal of Academic Affairs, and Grade 10 students. The findings reveal that the Deep Approach to Learning was implemented through three stages: planning, instructional implementation, and evaluation, which emphasize meaningful, mindful, and joyful learning principles. This study contributes novel insights by demonstrating that the Deep Approach to Learning not only enhances students’ conceptual understanding but also strengthens the internalization of religious values through reflective activities, socially contextualized projects, and spiritual integration in classroom practices. Furthermore, the study identifies institutional support and teacher readiness as critical success factors, while uneven student participation and limited conceptual understanding among teachers remain key challenges. These findings extend existing literature by highlighting the pedagogical, spiritual, and character dimensions of the Deep Approach to Learning in Islamic Education.

Muhassinat Lafziyyah and Their Semantic Rhetorical Implications in the Qur’an and Hadith
This study examines the rhetorical functions of muhassinat lafziyyah within the framework of 'ilm al-badi in the Qur’an and Hadith, focusing on how phonetic features construct meaning and reinforce spiritual messages. While traditionally viewed as mere ornamentation, this research explores their functional role beyond linguistic embellishment. Employing a qualitative descriptive-analytical method with a balaghi approach, the study analyzes selected eschatological verses and Hadith texts containing saja (rhyme), jinas (paronomasia), and iqtibas (intertextual quotation). The findings reveal that these devices function as powerful rhetorical tools that strengthen semantic depth, intensify emotional resonance, and facilitate memorization. For instance, saja in Hadith creates rhythmic harmony that reinforces moral emphasis, while jinis in Ar-Rum (55) and Al-Qiyamah (29–30) generates layered meanings and ironic contrasts regarding worldly transience. This study demonstrates that sound patterns (lafz) are inseparable from meaning (ma'na), playing a crucial role in conveying theological and ethical values. Consequently, understanding these rhetorical functions contributes to a more comprehensive appreciation of the spiritual depth in Islamic discourse.

Virtual Marriage Contracts and the Shariah Concept of 'Ittihad Al-Majlis': a Case Study of Online Unregistered Marriage Services in Indonesia
The digitalization of religious rituals has reached a critical juncture with the emergence of online unregistered marriage services (nikah siri online) in Indonesia. This phenomenon challenges the classical Shafi’i doctrine of Ittihad al-Majlis (unity of the session), which traditionally requires physical co-presence. This research aims to analyze the legal validity and teleological implications of virtual marriage contracts within the framework of Usul al-Fiqh and Maqashid al-Shari’ah. Employing a qualitative normative-juridical methodology, the study evaluates classical jurisprudence alongside Indonesian marriage laws and digital ethnography of online service providers. The findings reveal that while modern telecommunications can satisfy the ‘illah (legal cause) of Ittihad al-Majlis through real-time audio-visual synchronization, the practice of virtual marriage in Indonesia remains fundamentally flawed due to its unregistered status. From a Maqashidi perspective, these unions create a systemic mafsadah (harm), including the loss of civil rights for women and children, which outweighs the perceived benefit of avoiding moral transgression. The study concludes that for a virtual "session" to be legally and theologically valid, it must be integrated into a formal-digital state registry. This research provides a framework for reinterpreting "presence" in Islamic law while maintaining the protective essence of the marital covenant.

Reassessing Hifdz Al-Nasl in the Age of Assisted Reproduction: a Maqashid Al-Shari’ah Perspective on Donor Artificial Insemination
The rapid advancement of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART), specifically donor artificial insemination, has challenged the traditional boundaries of Islamic family law and bioethics. This research explores the relevance and repositioning of the concept of Hifdz al-Nasl (preservation of lineage) within the framework of Maqashid al-Shari’ah (the higher objectives of Islamic law). Using a qualitative normative-philosophical approach, this study evaluates classical jurisprudence prohibiting third-party genetic intervention against the modern context of genetic certainty and DNA technology. The findings indicate that the traditional "harm" (mafsadah) of lineage confusion, which serves as the primary basis for prohibition, is becoming increasingly mitigable through forensic registries and transparent bio-data systems. The study concludes that Hifdz al-Nasl should evolve from a strictly prohibitive tool into a protective mechanism for the child's identity and legal rights. By adopting a "Systemic Maqashid" approach, the research suggests that a highly regulated, non-anonymous donor system can satisfy the divine intent of protecting the family unit while fulfilling the human need for progeny. This study provides a theological-philosophical framework for harmonizing Islamic legal values with contemporary medical ethics.

An Usul Al-Fiqh Analysis of Underage Unregistered Marriage in Indonesia: a Sadd Al-Dhari’ah Approach to Preventing Social Harm
Underage unregistered marriage, locally known as nikah siri, remains a persistent socio-legal challenge in Indonesia despite the enactment of Law No. 16 of 2019, which raised the minimum marriageable age. This practice often bypasses state administration, creating a legal vacuum that marginalizes women and children. This research aims to analyze the legal status and consequences of such unions through the lens of Usul al-Fiqh, specifically utilizing the doctrine of Sadd al-Dhari’ah (the obstruction of means). Employing a qualitative normative-juridical methodology, this study evaluates primary Islamic legal texts alongside Indonesian marriage regulations and empirical social data. The findings reveal that while these marriages may satisfy the formal pillars of a religious contract, they constitute a "means" (wasilah) that leads to definitive social and legal harm (mafsadah), including the loss of civil identity, reproductive health risks, and economic vulnerability. The study concludes that applying Sadd al-Dhari’ah provides a robust theological justification for prohibiting underage unregistered marriage, as it prioritizes public interest (maslahah al-ammah) and the preservation of lineage (hifdz al-nasl) over the narrow private benefit of moral prevention. This approach offers a framework for Indonesian policymakers and religious authorities to harmonize religious ethics with modern child protection standards.
Reconstructing the Concept of Ahliyyah (Legal Capacity) for Autonomous AI Entities in Islamic Jurisprudence: A Critical Analysis of Digital Contracts and Muamalah Principles
The rapid advancement of Autonomous Artificial Intelligence (AI) has challenged the traditional human-centric framework of Ahliyyah (legal capacity) in Islamic jurisprudence. This study aims to investigate the legal status of AI entities in executing digital contracts and to propose a reconstruction of Ahliyyah that accommodates non-human autonomous agents. Using a qualitative-normative legal research method with a Maqashid al-Shari’ah approach, this study analyzes classical Fiqh texts alongside modern technological realities. The findings reveal that while AI lacks metaphysical consciousness (Ruh), it possesses "Functional Discernment" (Tamyiz al-Waza’ifi) capable of fulfilling the technical requirements of Ijab (offer) and Qabul (acceptance). The research proposes the recognition of "Digital Personality" (Syakhshiyah Raqmiyah) as a new legal category, shifting the locus of legal capacity from biological existence to functional autonomy. This reconstruction ensures that AI-driven transactions remain valid under Sharia while providing a clear framework for Dhaman (liability) and accountability. This study contributes to the development of a "Digital Fiqh" that harmonizes Islamic law with the global digital economy.

Conflict and Integration: The Mujahidin Mosque Case Study (A Perspective of Conflict Theory and Fiqh al-Ikhtilaf)
The conflict at the Mujahidin mosque arose from two root causes: first, a misunderstanding between Moel and Latif regarding Moel's desire to give tafsir lectures at the Mujahidin mosque. Second, a difference of opinion regarding the position of the saff. Moel and his supporters wanted to change the saff to match the position of the mosque building, while Latif and his supporters wanted to maintain the position of the saff so that it continued to face the right corner of the mosque, as this position was in line with the direction of the qibla. According to Dahrendorf, the conflict that occurred at the Mujahidin mosque was natural because conflict and differences lead to peace and equality. This is evident in what is happening at the Mujahidin mosque today. After a prolonged conflict from 1998 to 2016, with coordination and awareness from each of the conflicting parties, the conflict finally ended and became a beautiful peace.
The Educational Value of the Miracles of the Qur’an in the Curriculum and Learning Outputs in the Digital Literacy Era
This article discusses the Design of curriculum development and educational outputs based on the miracles of the Qur’an. In this study, the author uses descriptive-critical research, with greater emphasis on the strength of the analysis of existing sources and data, drawing on existing theories and concepts to interpret the writings that lead to the discussion.

Women's Leadership in Education: thematic analysis of the Qur'an and Hadith
The main objective of this article is to explain women’s leadership in the study of Qur’anic and hadith interpretation. This study is a library research using the method of collecting bibliographic data, Reading and taking notes according to the research title, and processing research materials. Primary data sources include books on interpretations of the Qur’an and the Sunnah, as well as contemporary fatwas on women. Data analysis includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research concludes that the Qur’an does not explicitly prohibit female leadership, even showing examples such as Queen Balqis (An-Naml 29-35) who led wisely. Leadership is based more on a person’s qualities and abilities (capabilities) than on gender. Although there are verses interpreting the role of men as family leaders (An-Nisa 34), which have become the basis of debate, many modern scholars interpret it in the context of responsibility, not absolute superiority.
