Pesantren and Politics: Moral and Social Values in Santri Character Formation

Mhd Wildan Arifin Batubara, Abu Sahrin — Thu, 30 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The internalization of moral and social values in pesantren does not always occur uniformly, as it is influenced by students’ family backgrounds, parenting styles, and technological developments. This study aims to analyze the process of internalizing theological and social moral values, their practical application in students’ daily lives, the influencing factors, and the role of Pondok Pesantren Mawaridussalam in shaping santri character. A qualitative method with a phenomenological approach was employed. Data were collected through participatory observation, interviews, and documentation, involving 20 informants consisting of pesantren leaders, teachers, student care administrators, and santri representatives. Data analysis was conducted through reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, while validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings reveal that theological and social moral values are internalized through teacher role modeling, leadership training, educational guidance, worship habituation, deliberation, layered supervision, and the implementation of rewards and sanctions. The core values instilled include sincerity, muraqabah (self-vigilance), trust in God, responsibility, justice, equality, honesty, accountability, and social concern. The success of this internalization is supported by 24-hour boarding life, structured evaluation, and collaboration with parents, while differences in family background and technology use remain significant challenges. These findings affirm that pesantren functions not only as a moral education institution but also as a training ground for social leadership among santri.

The Concept of Sakinah from a Psychological Perspective in Tafsir Al-Misbah

Putri Trianda, Abrar Dawud — Thu, 30 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The concept of sakinah in the Quran represents an important value associated with inner tranquility, emotional stability, and closeness to Allah. This study aims to analyze the concept of sakinah in M. Quraish Shihab’s Tafsir Al-Misbah and examine its relevance to cognitive psychology. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach with a content analysis design. The primary data source was Tafsir Al-Misbah, particularly its interpretation of verses concerning sakinah in Surah Al-Baqarah [2]: 248, Surah At-Tawbah [9]: 26 and 40, Surah Al-Fath [48]: 4, 18, and 26, and Surah Ar-Rum [30]: 21. Secondary data were obtained from kitab, book, journal articles, and other scholarly literature related to Quranic exegesis, sakinah, and cognitive psychology. The data were analyzed using content analysis. The findings reveal that sakinah in Tafsir Al-Misbah refers not only to outward calmness but also to inner tranquility arising from faith, self-control, positive thinking, and the ability to regulate emotions. These findings demonstrate the relevance of sakinah to cognitive psychology, particularly in promoting psychological tranquility among modern individuals through the integration of spiritual values and healthy thought processes.

Development of Reflection Card-Based Counseling Media for Positive Islamic Body Image

Tuti Ameliah Rambe, Ramadhan Lubis — Tue, 18 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Negative body image among adolescents has increasingly emerged alongside the influence of social media, which promotes diverse standards of beauty and ideal appearance. This condition may lead to low self-confidence, poor self-acceptance, and limited social interaction among students. This study aims to develop counseling media based on reflection cards to foster positive body image within the framework of Islamic values. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the 4D model limited to three stages Define, Design, and Develop the research involved 30 students in the needs analysis, one material expert, one media expert, one counseling teacher, and nine students in a limited trial. Data were collected through interviews and questionnaires, and analyzed using descriptive quantitative and qualitative techniques. The results show that the reflection card media achieved a feasibility level of 96% from the media expert and 98% from the material expert, categorized as highly feasible. Student responses reached 88.3%, while counseling teacher responses were 98%, both categorized as highly practical. These findings indicate that reflection card-based counseling media is feasible and practical for supporting the development of positive body image among students in accordance with Islamic perspectives.

Comparative Study of Bukhur and Hio in Interfaith Dialogue

Ilham Ramadhan Daulay, Elly Warnisyah Harahap — Mon, 17 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Ritual aroma represents a sensory dimension in religious practice that bridges symbolism, spirituality, and cultural identity. This study examines the comparative use of Bukhur in Islam and Hio in Confucianism, both employing fragrance and smoke yet grounded in distinct theological foundations, ritual functions, and symbolic meanings. The research aims to analyze similarities and differences in their theological basis, ritual position, symbolic interpretation, and relevance to interfaith dialogue in Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive method with comparative and theological approaches, data were collected through literature review of religious texts, hadith compilations, Confucian teachings, and relevant scholarly studies. Findings reveal that Bukhur in Islam functions primarily as fragrance supporting cleanliness, comfort, and devotion, permitted or recommended as long as it avoids associations with superstition or claims of mystical power. Conversely, Hio in Confucianism holds a formal role in worship, symbolizing sincerity, reverence, and harmonious relations among Tian, humanity, ancestors, and the cosmos through ritual order (Li). This research highlights that contextual understanding of ritual symbols fosters interreligious literacy, reduces misinterpretation, and strengthens tolerance within Indonesian society, thereby contributing to constructive interfaith engagement.

Effectiveness of Islamic Spiritual Extracurricular Activities in Shaping Vocational Students’ Character

Devi Puja Kesuma, Asnil Aidah Ritonga — Wed, 19 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The formation of Islamic character in vocational high schools is an urgent necessity in the face of modernization that often erodes moral and spiritual values among students. Islamic Spiritual extracurricular activities serve as a strategic medium to instill discipline, responsibility, social concern, religiosity, and noble morality. This study analyzes the effectiveness of these activities in shaping students’ Islamic character, drawing upon the perspectives of Lickona, Al-Ghazali, and the Ministry of National Education. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving students, mentors, and school authorities. Data were analyzed with Miles and Huberman’s interactive model to ensure validity and systematic interpretation. The findings demonstrate that Islamic Spiritual extracurricular activities effectively strengthen students’ Islamic character, particularly in discipline, responsibility, social awareness, religiosity, and morality. Supporting factors include school support, mentor competence, and student enthusiasm, while inhibiting factors involve limited time, external environmental influences, and inconsistent practice at home. The implication highlights the importance of structured and continuous character-building programs to ensure the internalization of Islamic values in daily life. The novelty lies in affirming the direct relationship between extracurricular effectiveness and Islamic character formation, while uncovering gaps between participation and value application outside school.

Visual Grammar and Aesthetic Differentiation of Geometric, Organic and Hybrid Zentangle Motifs

Ersa Aliyya, Achmad Haldani Destiarmand — Wed, 05 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Research on Zentangle has largely emphasized psychological, therapeutic, and educational outcomes, while the motifs themselves remain underexplored as visual and aesthetic systems. This study addresses that gap by systematically examining the visual grammar and aesthetic differentiation of geometric, organic, and hybrid Zentangle motifs. The objective is to construct a comparative framework that clarifies how different motif categories generate distinct visual and aesthetic impressions. A qualitative descriptive–analytical design was applied to thirty purposively selected motifs. Data collection involved visual observation, literature review, and documentation. Analysis proceeded in two stages: first, visual elements and organizational relations were mapped using Wucius Wong’s framework; second, aesthetic interpretation was conducted through Anak Agung Made Djelantik’s triadic aspects of form, content, and presentation. Form encompassed the structural composition of lines, shapes, and spatial organization; content referred to expressive meaning conveyed through rhythm, balance, and symbolic resonance; presentation highlighted sensory impact, including clarity, harmony, and dynamic appeal. Results revealed that lines and repetition consistently functioned as principal devices across categories. Geometric motifs emphasized straight lines, angular fields, and formal structures; organic motifs emphasized curved lines, rounded fields, and flowing arrangements; hybrid motifs integrated structural regularity with organic flexibility. The study contributes a systematic comparative model for reading nonrepresentational pattern-based visuals and offers implications for motif development in surface design, textiles, illustration, and digital art.

Resti Maulina Chusnul Chotimah, Aries Kristianto — Mon, 10 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Accurate and timely weather information is a fundamental requirement for safe aviation operations. However, conventional coded weather reports demand rapid interpretation under operational pressure, which increases the risk of delay and misinterpretation, particularly in military flight environments. This study aims to design and implement a real-time aviation weather decision support system for flight operations at Roesmin Nurjadin Air Force Base in Pekanbaru, utilizing open data provided by the Indonesian Agency for Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics. The research employed a development methodology consisting of needs analysis, system design, implementation, and evaluation. The system was developed in Python using scientific and visualization libraries and deployed through a web-based framework for unrestricted access. It integrates live meteorological reports, terminal forecasts, gridded weather predictions, and satellite imagery into a single interactive dashboard. The platform provides decoded weather reports, twenty-four-hour meteograms, wind roses, and trend charts, and automatically generates standardized briefing documents. Verification confirmed that decoded outputs were consistent with official meteorological data and that fallback mechanisms operated correctly. The findings demonstrate that the system accelerates situational awareness and strengthens pre-flight decision-making. Future work is recommended to evaluate usability and operational effectiveness in military and civil aviation contexts.

Primary Breadwinner Wives and Muslim Family Welfare: A Maqasid Framework

Nurul Putri Nafa, Widiya Yul — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The phenomenon of wives serving as primary breadwinners has become increasingly prevalent in Muslim families due to socio-economic changes and shifting gender roles. Previous studies have generally examined this issue from legal, economic, or gender perspectives separately, while comprehensive analyses based on Maqasid al-Shariah remain limited. This article employs a qualitative method using content analysis. The data consist of scholarly literature on Islamic family law, gender studies, family well-being, and contemporary Maqasid al-Shariah discourse, which were analyzed to examine the role of wives as primary breadwinners and to formulate a conceptual model of Muslim family well-being based on Maqasid al-Shariah. The data were analyzed using content analysis through the five dimensions of Maqasid al-Shariah: protection of religion (hifz al-din), life (hifz al-nafs), intellect (hifz al-‘aql), progeny (hifz al-nasl), and wealth (hifz al-mal). The findings indicate that wives’ economic contributions can strengthen family resilience and well-being, while also creating challenges such as double burdens, psychosocial pressures, and patriarchal resistance Wives as primary breadwinners can be recognized as a legitimate form of social adaptation within Muslim families, aligning with the objectives of Maqasid al-Shariah when balance across its five dimensions is sustained; the proposed multidimensional model thus offers practical guidance for strengthening family policy, empowerment initiatives, and household resilience.

Avianita Rachmawati, Guntur Mbiri, Ernesta Leha — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Customer orientation drives product innovation agility through an understanding of customer needs, competitor focus, and functional coordination, which in turn enhances marketing performance, such as sales growth and market share. Product innovation agility then mediates this relationship by indirectly improving marketing performance, as rapid innovation generates competitive advantages such as increased customer satisfaction and sales. This article aims to analyze the influence of adaptive capability and customer orientation on marketing performance, as well as the mediating role of product innovation agility in the Wondr app. A quantitative approach was used with a sample of 3,904 Wondr app users. Data were collected via a questionnaire and analyzed using SmartPLS. The results confirm that successful marketing performance is highly dependent on a company’s ability to rapidly innovate products as an adaptive response to changes in the market environment. Adaptive capability has the key and greatest influence on improving marketing performance when supported by strong product innovation agility.

Financial Management Transformation of Islamic Boarding Schools through Break Even Point Analysis

Muhammad Ilmi Najib, Muhammad Bisri Ihwan — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study analyzes the application of Break Even Point in transforming financial management at Pondok Pesantren Salaf Darussalam Rejoagung Banyuwangi and its implications for institutional independence and sustainability. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation from January to June 2025. Analysis employed the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, with data validity ensured through source triangulation, member checking, and intensive researcher involvement. Findings reveal that Break Even Point emerged from the critical awareness of pesantren leaders regarding financial uncertainty traditionally dependent on donations, functioning as both an objective instrument and a metaphorical “map and compass” guiding financial navigation without neglecting spiritual values. The contextualization of fixed, variable, semi-variable, and non-cash costs highlighted ethical dilemmas in monetizing internal resources. Break Even Point fostered independence through digital financial management, business unit development, sustainable operational planning, and strategic decision-making. The study concludes that Break Even Point serves not only as a financial tool but also as an institutional catalyst bridging modern accountability with pesantren spirituality.

Social Media Marketing Influence on Purchase Intention via Brand Image and Trust

Ryan Cahya Anindito, Anas Hidayat — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The rapid expansion of social media has transformed how e-commerce platforms engage with consumers. However, empirical evidence regarding the mediating roles of brand image and brand trust in explaining the effect of social media marketing on purchase intention remains limited and inconsistent. This study examines the influence of social media marketing on purchase intention in Shopee by incorporating brand image and brand trust as mediating variables. This research adopts a quantitative approach using a survey method. Data were collected from 300 active Shopee users in Yogyakarta who had been exposed to Shopee social media content. The sample was selected using a non-probability sampling technique with a convenience sampling approach. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings show that social media marketing influences brand image and brand trust, which subsequently affect purchase intention. Both brand image and brand trust function as mediators in the relationship between social media marketing and purchase intention. These results confirm the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) framework, where social media marketing acts as the stimulus, brand image and brand trust represent the organism, and purchase intention represents the response. This study contributes to the literature by strengthening the application of the SOR model in digital marketing and highlighting the role of psychological mechanisms in consumer behavior. The results suggest that e-commerce platforms should design social media content that is engaging, credible, informative, and aligned with current trends to strengthen consumer perception and trust, thereby enhancing purchase intention.

Team Efficacy and Organizational Readiness for Change: The Moderating Role of Job Tenure

Sat, 29 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Organizational readiness for implementing change is partly determined by employees’ confidence that collective team capabilities are sufficient to meet implementation demands. This study investigates the relationship between perceived team efficacy and organizational readiness for implementing change, and examines whether job tenure moderates this relationship. Using a quantitative, cross-sectional, non-experimental design, data from 50 employees of one company in Indonesia were analyzed through hierarchical ordinary least squares regression. Results indicate that perceived team efficacy is positively associated with organizational readiness for implementing change (B = .436, SE = .084, β = .599, t = 5.189, p < .001), explaining 35.9% of the observed variance. Adding job tenure did not yield a meaningful incremental contribution (ΔR² = .002, p = .687). However, the interaction between team efficacy and job tenure was positive and statistically significant (B = .243, SE = .093, t = 2.606, p = .012), increasing explained variance by 8.2%. The full moderation model accounted for 44.4% of the variance. These findings highlight that team efficacy is a crucial correlate of readiness for change, while job tenure functions more meaningfully as a boundary condition rather than a direct predictor. The study underscores the importance of organizational experience in strengthening team-based readiness for change.

Multi-Temporal Performance Evaluation of Satellite Precipitation Products over Complex Orographic Terrain

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Ground-based rain gauge networks in complex orographic regions such as Bogor, Indonesia, often suffer from sparse distribution and spatial gaps, limiting effective weather monitoring and disaster mitigation. This study evaluates the accuracy of four satellite precipitation products gpm-imerg final run, chirps, gsmap_nrt, and persiann-ccs against daily observations from 12 tipping bucket and AWS stations during December 2023–November 2025. Data processing employed Python, Google Earth Engine, and Quantum Geographic Information System with UTC-to-WIB synchronization, nearest-neighbor point-to-grid extraction, and multi-temporal aggregation at daily, 10-daily, monthly, and seasonal scales. Performance was assessed using correlation coefficient R, Root Mean Square Error, Mean Absolute Error, regression analysis, and categorical metrics including Probability of Detection, False Alarm Ratio, Critical Success Index, and Frequency of Hits. Results show weak daily correlations (R < 0.20) due to local convective dynamics and orographic lifting, but accuracy improves at aggregated scales (10-daily R = 0.536–0.718; monthly R = 0.685–0.777). gpm-imerg consistently outperformed others, achieving the highest monthly correlation (R = 0.777), lowest daily error (Root Mean Square Error = 14.92 mm/day), and optimal detection capacity. persiann-ccs tended to overestimate rainfall in high terrain, while gsmap underestimated systematically. Findings suggest uncorrected daily satellite products should be applied cautiously, with gpm-imerg recommended for gap filling and water resource assessments at 10-daily resolution or bias-corrected for daily operations.

Yogi Abdullah, Putri Merak Jingga Sameto, Patra Suwanda — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The expansion of Islamic pre-marital culture into cyberspace has led to the rise of taaruf platforms on Instagram, which face the challenge of presenting biodata attractively while protecting user privacy through designed trust. This study investigates the visual branding strategies of selected Instagram accounts (@taaruf.time, @taarufku.id, and @taaruf.uk), focusing on logo design, illustration, color, and typography, while evaluating functional quality based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the research integrates visual content analysis, design criticism, and Roland Barthes’ semiotic model, with functional quality assessed using four parameters: usability, accessibility, visual consistency, and responsiveness. The findings reveal three distinct strategies: @taaruf.time employs functional anonymity through 3D avatars; @taarufku.id adopts an emotional-artistic approach with faceless digital painting in warm earth tones; and @taaruf.uk applies documentary realism by censoring original photos with masks or veils. WCAG 2.2 evaluation shows @taaruf.time achieved the highest functional performance, while @taaruf.uk faced readability issues due to inconsistent photo backgrounds. The study concludes that functional aesthetics in visual branding enhance trust, safety, and comfort for audiences engaging with religiously private spaces in digital environments, thereby contributing to scholarship on Islamic digital culture, design ethics, and accessibility in social media.

Integration of Pesantren and Islamic School Curricula: Enhancing Quran Memorization Quality

Ahmad Yukha Dalhari, Emi Lilawati — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study investigates the management and impact of curriculum integration between pesantren and Islamic schools, focusing on its influence on students’ Quran memorization quality and the challenges encountered in implementation. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving school principals, curriculum coordinators, pesantren leaders, ustadz tahfidz, and nine student participants. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model, encompassing data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, with validity ensured through source and method triangulation. The findings reveal that curriculum collaboration is systematically organized through integrated planning, synchronized implementation between tahfidz schedules and formal learning, and periodic evaluation based on academic and tahfidz assessments. This integration demonstrably improves students’ fluency, accuracy, and consistency in Quran memorization. However, key challenges include limited time management, heterogeneous student motivation and ability, and adaptation to evolving national curriculum policies. The study highlights that integrated curriculum design offers an effective Islamic education model that strengthens both Quran memorization and academic achievement.

Epistemological Crisis to Educational Reform: Reconstructing al-Faruqi’s Islamization of Knowledge for Islamic Education

Azlina Azlina, Abu Anwar — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Contemporary Islamic education is facing a profound epistemological crisis characterized by the dichotomy between religious and secular sciences, the dominance of positivistic and secular paradigms, and the weak integration of tawhidic values into knowledge development. This crisis has led to fragmented educational objectives and reduced curricular relevance to the needs of the Muslim community. The present study aims to critically examine the epistemological roots of this crisis and explore the applicability of Ismail Raji al-Faruqi’s concept of the Islamization of Knowledge as a reformative framework. Employing a library research method with descriptive-analytical techniques, the study focuses on al-Faruqi’s seminal work Islamization of Knowledge and relevant secondary literature. The findings reveal that the epistemological crisis stems primarily from the entrenched dichotomy of knowledge and the pervasive influence of secular paradigms. Al-Faruqi’s epistemological project, when reformulated through twelve practical steps, provides a comprehensive tawhidic epistemological model that can be operationalized in curriculum design, educational objectives, and pedagogical praxis. The implications of this reformulation highlight the urgency of integrating tawhidic principles into contemporary Islamic education to overcome fragmentation and restore its relevance to the holistic development of the Muslim community.

Epistemology of Mantuq and Mafhum for Critical Thinking in Islamic Education

Tue, 08 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The cultivation of critical thinking skills is a central demand of 21st-century education. Within Islamic education, this development must be anchored in the epistemological tradition of usul al-fiqh, particularly through the reasoning instruments of mantuq and mafhum. This study reconstructs these concepts as an epistemological foundation for critical thinking by proposing the Critical Islamic Reasoning Framework . Employing a qualitative library-based research design, the study applies content analysis to classical usul al-fiqh texts and contemporary scholarship on critical thinking and Islamic education. The analytical process involved concept identification, categorization, synthesis, and interpretation to reveal the relationship between mantuq, mafhum, and critical thinking indicators. Findings demonstrate that mantuq operates as a tool for textual recognition of explicit meaning, while mafhum functions as a mechanism for contextual interpretation of implicit meaning. Both are reinforced by logical verification, ethical reflection, and contextual application. The synthesis produces the CIRF model, integrating revelation, reason, and reality as the epistemological basis for critical thinking. This study expands the role of mantuq and mafhum beyond legal deduction, positioning them as a conceptual framework for critical thinking education relevant to contemporary Islamic educational development.

Asti Hardianti, Lusiani Dewi Assaat, Toni Yudha Pratama — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Financial literacy is an essential competency for elementary students as they encounter daily financial decisions such as managing pocket money, distinguishing needs from wants, and developing saving habits. However, preliminary findings reveal that many students still struggle to understand basic financial concepts and apply them in everyday contexts. This study aims to develop and evaluate the validity and effectiveness of a contextual financial literacy module integrated with the Flipped Classroom model for elementary students. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model. The product consisted of a printed module supported by QR-linked instructional videos and contextual activities. Effectiveness testing involved 36 fourth-grade students using a one-group pretest–posttest design. Data were collected through interviews, expert validation, and financial literacy tests, analyzed with Aiken’s V, paired-sample t-test, Cohen’s d, and N-Gain. Results showed an overall Aiken’s V of 0.73, indicating validity. Students’ mean scores improved from 58.47 (pretest) to 84.31 (posttest), with a mean difference of 25.84 points. The paired t-test confirmed significant improvement, t(35) = -18.276, p < 0.001, with Cohen’s d = 3.04 and N-Gain = 0.62 (moderate). These findings imply that the developed module provides a valid and effective contextual resource to strengthen financial literacy through independent pre-class learning and active classroom engagement.

Optimizing Pesantren Management for Tuberculosis Prevention through BREATHE Program

Bella Wiranti, Arih Diyaning Intiasari, Dwi Sarwani Sri Rejeki — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health problem in Indonesia, particularly in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), where overcrowding, prolonged close contact, and limited institutional health governance increase transmission risks. This study aims to optimize pesantren management in TB prevention through the development of the BREATHE program (Building Resilient Environments Against Tuberculosis Hazards in Education). A mixed-methods embedded design was applied, with quantitative data collected from a cross-sectional survey of 223 students in two pesantren in Banyumas Regency to measure knowledge, attitudes, and preventive behaviors, complemented by environmental observations. Qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with key stakeholders, analyzed thematically using Open Code software and triangulation. Results showed that most students had low knowledge (54.3%), balanced attitudes (positive: 50.7%; negative: 49.3%), and relatively good preventive behaviors (56.5%). Environmental assessments revealed overcrowding, poor ventilation, and high humidity. Qualitative findings highlighted the absence of TB-specific Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), limited health management capacity, stigma, and financial constraints as major barriers. Based on these insights, the BREATHE program prototype was developed, integrating governance strengthening, human resource capacity building, environmental risk control, and health service integration. This model provides a replicable framework for TB prevention in high-risk residential educational settings and contributes to global discourse on institutional health governance in Islamic education.
