The theory of cognitive development emerged in the middle of the century, known as the theory of Piaget and Vygotsky. However, long before these two theories existed, Islam had already explained children's cognitive development in the Al-Qur'an. The purpose of this article is to understand the development of theory according to Jean Piaget and Vygotsky and its relevance from the perspective of the Al-Qur'an. The research method uses literature studies which involve searching for data from various reference sources such as research journals, literature reviews, and materials related to children's cognitive development. The results of this research show that the views of Piaget and Vygotsky and the views of the Koran are not much different, if combined they will provide a more comprehensive picture of children's cognitive development. Piaget showed that children develop through interactions with the physical world, while Vygotsky emphasized the importance of social interactions. The Koran supports both of these views by highlighting the importance of using the senses and heart to learn as well as the importance of guidance from those who are more knowledgeable.</p> Mukhmad Averros Azzam Al Islami, Sedya Santosa Copyright (c) 2025 Mukhmad Averros Azzam Al Islami, Sedya Santosa https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1387 Sun, 13 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 The Characteristics of Shalihah Woman in the Qur’an: Quraish Shihab’s Perspective in Tafsir Al-Mishbah https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1381 <p>The study of the characteristics of shalihah women is very important to study.

According to him, al-hikmah al-muta'aliyah is knowledge based on intellectual intuition (irfan or isyraqi dzawq), rational proof ('aql or istidlal), and sharia (burhani). Al-Hikmah al-Muta'aliyyah is a synthesis of three styles of thought, namely: theology with a dialectical, polemical pattern (jaddaly), philosophy with a demonstrative pattern (burhany), and theosophy with an illuminationist and gnostic pattern (dzawq). This research uses descriptive analysis methods to explore Mulla Sadra's philosophical thinking. The results of this research reveal that the building of thought that was successfully built by Mulla Sadra through his synthesis of thought had a major influence on the development of philosophy in Persia, India and Iraq. However, the interesting thing is that Sadra brought him into contact with the truth of the Koran and Hadith. The harmonization he carried out resulted in a synthesis, namely integrating it through the three paths of Al-Qur'an (revelation), Burhan (demonstration or intellect), Irfan (spiritual or mystical). Because the three of them are not contradictory in their aim of achieving truth. The depiction of Mulla Sadra's philosophy can be done well by referring to his Ontology, Theology, Physics and Eschatology.</p> Muhammad Kholid Muslih, Ahmad Hisyam Syamil, Amir Reza Kusuma Copyright (c) 2025 Ahmad Hisyam Syamil, Muhammad Kholid Muslih, Amir Reza Kusuma https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1306 Sun, 13 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Implementation of the Values ​​of the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5) at M.

Because it encompasses groups, war usually occurs between tribes, nations and countries. War has occurred since ancient times and was a common occurrence, especially during the early days of Islam. The understanding of the word qitāl in the current context is often misunderstood. Thus, the purpose of this study is to straighten out this understanding and address the Sufistic values of the verses of qitāl in the Quran.&nbsp; The Sufistic values of the qitāl verses in the Quran are values that need to be known and studied and applied in everyday life. Sufistic values such as patience, ridhā, not exceeding limits, piety, and doing justice in all aspects of life. The problem examined in this study is what are the Sufistic values in the Quran by referring to the interpretation of Shaykh 'Abdul Qādir al-Jīlāni regarding the verses in which there are Sufistic values in the Quran. The results of this study are that the view of Shaykh 'Abdul Qādir al-Jīlāni in his tafsir, namely tafsir aljilani, there are Sufistic values on the verses of qitāl in the Quran. Shaykh 'Abdul Qādir al-Jīlāni's interpretation of the Sufistic values of the verses of qitāl has relevance in modern life today. Sufistic values in the form of patience, ridhā, not exceeding limits, piety, and doing justice can be applied as a guide in running life today. Sufistic values about the verses of qitāl have been explained through the words of Allah SWT in the Quran. The application can be done in the context of modern life today.</p> Robi Sofian Hadi, Abdullah Huzaefi Copyright (c) 2025 Robi Sofian Hadi, Abdullah Huzaefi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/2164 Wed, 16 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 The Phenomenon of Political Movements on Social Media After the 2024 Presidential Election (A New Direction of Indonesian Democracy) https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/2180 <p>The 2024 Presidential Election brought new dynamics to Indonesia's democracy, with social media emerging as the primary platform for political movements. This study aims to address the research problem regarding how social media influences political participation patterns and the direction of democracy after the election. A qualitative approach with phenomenological research design was employed to explore the experiences of individuals and groups in forming and participating in social media-based political movements. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, online participatory observation, and analysis of social media posts. Manuel Castells' network society theory served as the basis for understanding the role of digital society in political interactions. The findings reveal that social media enhances inclusive political participation but also increases the risks of polarization and disinformation, which can impact the quality of democracy. The research findings indicate that social media has emerged as a new political arena, displacing the dominance of traditional actors. Influencers and buzzers act as emotional bridges between political policies and public perception, while civil society groups leverage digital platforms for advocacy and democratic oversight.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> Arifin Ilham, Junaidi Copyright (c) 2025 Arifin Ilham, Junaidi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/2180 Wed, 16 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 The Role of the North Sumatra Quran History Museum in Efforts to Preserve Illuminated Manuscripts of the Quran https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1612 <p>The Quran manuscripts have a very important role in the development of the writing of the Quran from time to time.

This is important to study from the perspective of the Qur'an and hadith. This paper aims to explain good and beneficial work from two sources, namely the Qur'an and hadith. The method used is qualitative, which is library research using a descriptive-analytical review. The findings of this study are that work in the Qur'an and hadith is a very important activity carried out by humans with full awareness that is intended because of Allah. In addition, good and bad work must be motivated by environmental conditions that influence it, but bad work must be avoided by prioritizing good work that is motivated by good motivations in Islam, such as motivation for worship, earning a living, and presenting happiness in life, by paying attention to the urgency and ethics of working based on the Qur'an and hadith. The Qur'an and hadith tell humans to seek happiness in life by spreading out and establishing serious relationships independently without depending on the existence of others in order to carry out the mandate as a caliph. Therefore, trust is a responsibility that must be fulfilled by humans in carrying out work activities that are good for the welfare of individuals and society</p> Rohmansyah Copyright (c) 2025 Rohmansyah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/2172 Wed, 16 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Strategy of Integrating Pluralism Values in The Development of Inclusive Curriculum in Educational Institutions https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1465 <p>inclusive curricula in educational institutions, focusing on the formation of inclusive and responsive learning environments for diverse students' needs.

Drawing from the Qur'an and the life of Prophet Muhammad, Islamic ethics offer a comprehensive framework that informs moral conduct in personal, social, economic, and environmental spheres. By carefully analyzing these teachings alongside the tradition of Ijtihad, Muslims approach modern ethical dilemmas with wisdom and compassion. Central values such as justice, compassion, honesty, and humility serve as guiding principles, shaping individual and collective behavior. The paper illustrates how Muslims engage with pressing issues like digital ethics, bioethics, environmental conservation, and global justice, seeking to harmonize religious teachings with contemporary realities. They grapple with privacy concerns, ethical technology use, genetic engineering, and end-of-life care while emphasizing stewardship of the environment and advocating for social justice. Through a steadfast commitment to ethical principles and a dedication to advancing justice and compassion, Muslims endeavor to fulfill their moral responsibilities and embody the ethical vision of Islam in today's world, contributing to a more equitable, compassionate, and sustainable global community.</p> Nasir Hassan Wani, Areesha Azhar Copyright (c) 2025 Nasir Hassan Wani, Areesha Azhar https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1412 Wed, 16 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Interpretation of Reason as a Configuration of Human Character from the Perspective of the Qur'an https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/2186 <p>The Qur'an views humans as being divided into two elements: namely the first material element and the second inmaterial element.

Every implementation of waqf land exchange in Indonesia must first apply for permission to the Minister of Religious Affairs through the Ministry of Religious Affairs with the stages of checking and assessment from the regional to the central level. It must get a recommendation from the Indonesian Waqf Board. In its implementation, there was a waqf land exchange application that has received a recommendation from the Indonesian Waqf Board, but did not receive permission from the Minister of Religious Affairs, namely the case of an application for permission to exchange waqf land located in Bugis Sesetan Sidakarya village, South Denpasar sub-district, Denpasar city, Bali province. The rejection of the application has caused the waqf land to be unused in following with the waqf agreement and its condition has been neglected until now. Therefore, this research was conducted to evaluate whether the rejection of the application for permission to implement the land exchange provides maslahah to the waqf property. This type of research was literature research, this research used a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. The data collection technique in this research was documentation, which looked for data on matters or variables related to the application for permission to exchange waqf land in Bugis village from a maslahah perspective from the sources of books, articles, journals and research reports, then analysed using the content analysis method. The results showed that the application for permission to exchange waqf land in Bugis village should be rejected. Although the replacement land has the potential to be developed productively, because the value of the replacement land was lower than the waqf land, the application for permission to exchange is more maslahah to be rejected.</p> Musthafa, Luqman bin Haji Abdullah, Norhidayah binti Pauzi Copyright (c) 2025 Musthafa, Luqman bin Haji Abdullah, Norhidayah binti Pauzi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/2184 Thu, 17 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 The Islamic Reform Movement and the Renewal of the Inheritance System in Minangkabau https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1468 <p>The acculturation of customs and Islam in Minangkabau did not emerge spontaneously, but rather resulted from a long debate between the Islamic reformist group and the traditionalist adat group.This research aims to examine the long history of debates between the reformist Padri movement and the traditionalist adat group, as well as between the Mudo and Tuo movements in the 19th and 20th centuries, and how these debates are related to the reform of inheritance laws in Minangkabau.The research method used in this study is the library method, which involves collecting, reading, and reviewing books and journals related to the discussion of this research using a historical approach.The results of this study found the historical debate between the reformist Padri faction and the traditionalist adat faction.The Padri and adat factions can unite to stop conflicts among brothers and reaffirm the agreement regarding the relationship between Minangkabau customs and Islamic law.In terms of inheritance, then the livelihood can be divided based on Islamic inheritance law.The Mudo movement questioned the act of bid'ah, initiated reforms in religious thought, and modernized the education, social, and political systems.In inheritance law, the opinion of Sheikh Abdullah Karim Amrullah as a young figure who distinguished between Islamic inheritance and customary inheritance was accepted by various circles.The Padri movement and the Young Minangkabau movement initially failed to achieve social integration within the Minangkabau community and caused division, but the policies of Tuanku Imam Bonjol and Syekh Abdullah Karim Amrullah later succeeded in achieving social integration within the Minangkabau community through the adaptation of customs and the alignment of goals, maintained through agreements and consensus on customs.</p> Fahrul Razi, Lalu Muhammad Nurul Wathoni, Ihsan Azhari, Nadia Rezky, Muhammad Maghfurrohman Copyright (c) 2025 Fahrul Razi, Lalu Muhammad Nurul Wathoni, Ihsan Azhari, Nadia Rezky, Muhammad Maghfurrohman https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1468 Thu, 17 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Study of Nusantara Islamic Manhaj https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1505 <p>The phenomenon of Middle Eastern Islam being destroyed by the brutality of fundamentalist ideologies, thick with shadows of fanaticism and orthodox paradigms, has given rise to the urgency of studying the methodology and thought of Nusantara Islam from ontological, philosophical, and axiological perspectives.So that readers can see an explanation of why Nusantara Islam becomes the antithesis of transnational ideological products and fundamentalist doctrines that reject the indigenization of Islam in Indonesia. In fact, Islam in Indonesia entered through the Sufi path, where the process of acculturation between Islamic traditions and local traditions through a cultural approach created an Islam that is rahmatan lil ‘alamin, such as being friendly, wise, polite, cool, and open.where such characteristics of Islam were actually very well accepted by the people of the archipelago, who were predominantly followers of Hindu-Buddhism at that time.</p> Sabri, Miftahul Huda, Zulkarnain, Muhammad Maghfurrohman Copyright (c) 2025 Sabri, Miftahul Huda, Zulkarnain, Muhammad Maghfurrohman https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1505 Thu, 17 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 The Relevance of Istihsan to Contemporary Public Life: An Analysis of the Theory of Legal Change https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/2105 <p>Solving contemporary fiqh problems in Islamic law has many methods for studying them and finding laws to be applied by society.&nbsp; This research aims to determine the use of istihsan and its urgency in legal changes in contemporary society.&nbsp; This qualitative research uses a type of normative legal research, also called library legal research.&nbsp; The collection of legal materials used is a library study in the field of law, which from the perspective of binding strength can be divided into three groups, namely primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials.&nbsp; The study technique used is a combination of deductive and inductive.&nbsp; The deductive method is used to get a detailed picture from the general framework to specific explanations which are then drawn to a conclusion.&nbsp; The result of this research is that the application of law through istihsan is used for the benefit of the benefit.

According to a survey conducted by the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) in 2022, it was revealed that the literacy rate in Indonesia is still relatively low and is a major challenge, especially in the education sector. The purpose of this study is to analyze the problems and determine the factors that cause low levels of student literacy and to develop strategies to foster reading literacy habits among students at MTs Al Hidayah. The research methods used include observation, interviews and literature reviews. The results of this study explain that internal factors such as lack of motivation and low interest in reading, as well as external factors such as technological advances and developments that divert students' attention and limited literacy facilities are the main obstacles to low student interest in reading. The solution is to overcome low student literacy by implementing the School Literacy Movement (GLS), optimizing library facilities, and the importance of the active role of teachers in cultivating reading, as well as synergy between families, schools, and communities in order to encourage the growth and development of literacy in the school environment and build a generation with more character.

Arabic is part of the South Semitic language family spoken by people living in the Arabian peninsula, in the southwest part of the Asian continent and at the same time by some people it is considered a oldest historical language. As it develops, currently Arabic is the official language in various countries, for example: Qatar, Chad, Palestine, Morocco, Egypt, Lebanon, Libya, Sudan, Oman, Gambia, Somalia, Iraq, Tunisia and many more. There is still a lot of debate about the history of the emergence of the Arabic language, due to the lack of concrete evidence in the form of artifacts etc. that prove the emergence of the Arabic language. This makes it difficult to prove where and when it emerged. The big question is whether Arabic is a derivative of Semitic languages or is it actually its parent.

As social beings, humans require communication, which functions effectively when facilitated by language. Therefore, language influences human thought patterns. Polite language, a hallmark of Indonesian culture, has been passed down through generations, underscoring the close relationship between language and culture. Effective language expression is also supported by good literacy understanding. This study aims to explain language use in society through the Ethnography of Communication approach, emphasizing the importance of context in interpreting speech and its functions. Linguists have traditionally found it easy to explain sentences from grammatical and semantic perspectives but often struggle with the intention and functional use of speech. Ethnography of Communication seeks to address this gap by incorporating aspects of speech or communication, thus making linguistic components more comprehensive. The research method used was a literature study, with library materials serving as the primary data source. The findings indicate that language was structured according to patterns, not randomly, but within subsystems such as phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. These patterns correspond to the needs and functions of each societal group. Ethnography of Communication examines the communication patterns of a community or cultural society, highlighting the role of language in the communicative behaviour of a society and how language was used within different cultures.</p> Amrullah, Habiburrahman, Satriawan Copyright (c) 2025 Amrullah, Habiburrahman, Satriawan https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1403 Wed, 23 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 The Role of Educational Psychology in Driving Digital Transformation in Islamic Boarding Schools: Integrating Traditional Values ​​with Technological Innovation https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1395 <p>Digital transformation in Islamic boarding schools has become an urgent need amidst the rapid development of information technology.

Zakat, as one of the pillars of Islam, has great potential to contribute to economic development and social welfare. In the context of Indonesia, which has the largest Muslim population in the world, effective implementation of zakat can have a significant impact. This study uses a qualitative method with literature study, reviewing various sources including journals, books, research reports, and other relevant literature. The analysis was conducted using an interactive approach to understand the concept of zakat, its potential application as a fiscal instrument, as well as the challenges and opportunities faced. The results of the study indicate that zakat has an important role as a fiscal instrument that can support Islamic economic development in Indonesia. Zakat can function as a source of additional income for the state, help reduce economic and social disparities, and encourage community economic empowerment. However, there are challenges related to regulations, institutions, and lack of public awareness that need to be addressed. Nevertheless, this study identifies great opportunities in the implementation of zakat as a fiscal instrument, along with the enormous potential of zakat in Indonesia and increasing public awareness. By making efforts to overcome existing challenges, zakat can be optimized as an effective fiscal instrument in supporting inclusive and sustainable Islamic economic development in Indonesia.</p> Delia Desvianti, Mercy Gusriyani, Suci Hijriyati, Zulfikar Hasan Copyright (c) 2025 Delia Desvianti, Mercy Gusriyani, Suci Hijriyati, Zulfikar Hasan https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1402 Thu, 24 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Implementation of Integrated Curriculum in Improving Islamic Religious Education Learning Outcomes at Peacesantren Welas Asih Junior High School In Garut https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/2160 <p>The integrated curriculum is an interdisciplinary approach, combining various disciplines into one learning experience to create a holistic education.

The licensing process is conducted through the Forest Village Community Institution (<em>Lembaga Masyarakat Desa Hutan</em> or LMDH) under a Cooperation Agreement Scheme (<em>Perjanjian Kerja Sama</em> or PKS). Community members interested in managing forest land submit their applications through village officials, after which Perhutani grants approval and provides training programs on forest agricultural management. The profit-sharing scheme stipulates that 10% of the harvest yield is allocated to Perhutani. This research employs a qualitative method with a field research approach, utilizing data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that, from an Islamic economic perspective, this cooperation aligns with the <em>mukhābarah</em> contract, where Perhutani acts as the land provider, and LMDH is responsible for seeds, production costs, and land management until harvest. The profit-sharing model is considered consistent with the principles of justice in Islam, as the rights and obligations of each party are clearly defined. This study underscores the importance of contractual clarity in ensuring fair and sustainable cooperation.</p> Mariyah Ulfah Copyright (c) 2025 Mariyah Ulfah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/2189 Thu, 24 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Non-Test Evaluation Techniques in Islamic Religious Education Learning https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1425 <p>The writing of this article aims to reveal and analyze the importance of implementing non-test evaluation techniques in learning Islamic religious education in order to provide a more real and objective evaluation.

This research aims to analyze the development of the number of Hajj pilgrims in Indonesia in recent years and analyze the significant increase in Hajj costs after the Hajj pilgrimage was closed during the Covid-19 pandemic. In this research, the author uses statistical data to determine the development of Hajj pilgrims, the factors increasing the cost of the Hajj pilgrimage and the social and economic impact. The results of this research show that despite the increase in the cost of the Hajj pilgrimage, pilgrims still continue to increase compared to the previous year.

Joint assets are assets that are acquired throughout the marriage from the time the marriage takes place until the marriage ends or the dissolution of the marriage due to divorce, death or a court decision. Mediation is an effort to resolve conflict by involving a neutral third party, who does not have the authority to make decisions that helps the disputing parties reach a resolution (solution) that is acceptable to both parties. This research aims to analyze joint assets from the perspective of statutory regulations, customary law and Islamic law, as well as dispute resolution through mediation. In this research, the author uses case study data from the Pasir Pengaraian religious court to find out the problems of joint property disputes which were resolved through mediation. The results of this research show that even though there are problems that arise because one party feels that the distribution is unfair, they can find a middle point through mediation. Therefore, mediation has become an important mechanism in law and mediation provides an effective solution to resolve disputes between the parties involved without having to go through formal justice channels. By holding mediation, the disputing parties hand over the resolution of their dispute to one or more independent arbitrators who are considered experts in the matter</p> Yenrizka Gusmaria, Tri Setiady Copyright (c) 2025 Yenrizka Gusmaria, Tri Setiady https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1378 Sat, 26 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Internationalization of the Indonesian Language: An Ontological, Epistemological, and Axiological Study https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1373 <p>History records that the Indonesian language has developed rapidly and has been used throughout the archipelago.

Fiqh munaqahat, which deals with marriage, divorce, and the rights and duties of spouses according to Islamic law, often presents challenges for students who struggle to connect theoretical knowledge to practical life situations. The marriage simulation offers a solution by allowing students to actively engage in all stages of the marriage process, from the akad nikah (marriage contract) to the ceremonial hajatan (wedding reception), applying Islamic principles in a real-world context. This hands-on experience enriches students’ understanding of the complexities of marital life, enhances their practical skills, and prepares them for the future responsibilities of marriage, making the learning process more applicable and engaging. The study emphasizes the benefits of this method, not only in deepening theoretical knowledge but also in providing crucial emotional and social skills necessary for successful relationships.</p> Anton, Fiqra Muhamad Nazib, Anita Hasanah Copyright (c) 2025 Anton, Fiqra Muhamad Nazib, Anita Hasanah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/2216 Tue, 29 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Family Dispute Settlement In Islam: A Study of the Novel “Ipar Adalah Maut” https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/2193 <p>This article aims to provide an overview to all interested parties in solving problems in the family and analyze the resolution of family disputes from an Islamic perspective through the study of the novel "Ipar Adalah Maut". This research method uses a literature study (Library Research) with a Folklor approach and content analysis to identify the themes, and describe the phenomenon of disputes in the novel. The results of the study show: 1). The family conflict in this novel starts from the forbidden love committed by Aris and Rani even though Aris is still tied in marriage with Rani's older sister named Nisa. The conflict continued with adultery between aris and rani where the adultery was known by Nisa 2). Family conflict occurs because the character in this novel violates the boundaries of association with his brother-in-law who is not a muhrim. The resolution of conflicts that occur can be resolved in two ways, namely: religiously, the wife has the right to complain to the judge and the judge isallowed to separate due to harm. Meanwhile, the State Law of the wife can file a divorce lawsuit against the husband and sue criminally on charges of adultery.</p> Anna Hadiyatullah Mahesy, Qurrotul Ainiyah Copyright (c) 2025 Anna Hadiyatullah Mahesy, Qurrotul Ainiyah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/2193 Tue, 29 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 دراسة تحليلية عن فتوى مجلس الترجيح للجمعية المحمدية في سفر المرأءة بغير محرمها من منظور تعليل الأحكام الشرعية https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/2166 <p>إن السفر جزء لا مفر منه في الحياة الإنسانية، سواء كان للعبادة والعمل والجاجات البشرية أو غير ذلك من الأغراض. وفي الإسلام أحكام مختلفة تُحكّم السفر، منها حكم سفر المرأة بدون محرمها. تُعَدُّ مسألة سفر المرأة بغير محرم من القضايا الفقهية التي دار حولها الجدل بين العلماء قديمًا وحديثًا. تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى تحليل فتوى مجلس الترجيح للجمعية المحمدية في سفر المرأءة بغير محرمها من منظور الإجتهاد التعليلي أو نظرية تعليل الأحكام الشرعية. وقد استنتج الباحث من خلال &nbsp;هذه الدراسة بأن مجلس الترجيح والتجديد التابع للجمعية المحمدية أفتى بجواز سفر المرأة بغير محرمها إذا كان يحقق الحاجات التي في تفويتها تفويتٌ لمصلحة المرأة والمجتمع، بشرط الاحتياط التام لمسألة أمن الفتنة، مراعاةً لواقع الفقه الاجتماعي، وعملا بنظرية تعليل الأحكام الشرعية، وأخذا بفقه الواقع المتمثل في تغير الفتوى بتغير الزمان والأحوال.</p> Fajar Rachmadhani Copyright (c) 2025 Fajar Rachmadhani https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/2166 Wed, 30 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Teacher's Strategy in Improving Student Learning Discipline in PAI Subject for Class XI IPS 4 at SMAN Lemahabang https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1481 <p>This research aims to analyze teachers' strategies for improving students' learning discipline in PAI subjects for Class XI Ips 4 at SMAN 1 Lemahabang.

This article investigates the various factors that contribute to the decline in moral values. One of the main factors is the increasingly rampant influence of technology and mass media, which often promote a destructive consumer and hedonistic culture. In the context of Islamic education, the role of a guidance and counseling teacher has a very important dimension in shaping students' morals. Morals as an integral part of Islamic teachings are the moral and ethical foundations that must be formed and strengthened in education. This is in accordance with Article 3 of Law Number 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System, therefore good character for the nation's successors is very necessary. There has been much discussion about how character emerges or appears in a person. This study uses a qualitative approach that uses literature studies (library search). This article will discuss how to improve morals from the perspective of the Book of Nashoihul 'Ibad by Imam An-Nawawi, what is real morals and what is the role of guidance and counseling teachers in this regard.</p> Ainayya Husna, Ahmad Darlis, Taufik Hidayat Daulay, Fery Fadli, Nurul Fadhilah Copyright (c) 2025 Ainayya Husna, Ahmad Darlis, Taufik Hidayat Daulay, Fery Fadli, Nurul Fadhilah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1424 Fri, 02 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Semantic Analysis of the Meaning of Al-‘Ilmu in the Qur'an from Toshihiko Izutsu's Perspective https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/2163 <p>This study aims to analyze the meaning of the concept of <em>al-‘ilmu</em> in the Qur'an using Toshihiko Izutsu's semantic approach. The research focuses on three main dimensions: the basic meaning, relational meaning, and historical meaning of the term <em>al-‘ilmu</em>. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive analysis with syntagmatic and paradigmatic approaches. The research data were obtained from Qur'anic verses containing the term <em>al-‘ilmu</em> as well as classical references such as <em>Mufradat Alfadz al-Qur'an</em> by Raghib al-Asfahani and <em>Lisan al-Arab</em> by Ibn Manzur. The results show that <em>al-‘ilmu</em> has a basic meaning of knowledge and awareness. Relationally, <em>al-‘ilmu</em> is often associated with concepts such as <em>hikmah</em> (wisdom), <em>huda</em> (guidance), and <em>taqwa</em> (piety). Historically, the meaning of <em>al-‘ilmu</em> evolved from general knowledge in pre-Qur'anic societies to a concept encompassing theological, epistemological, and ethical perspectives in Islam. These findings contribute significantly to the study of Qur'anic semantics and the understanding of Islamic epistemology.</p> Ikrom Nurdin Jamil, Ainur Rhain Copyright (c) 2025 Ikrom Nurdin Jamil, Ainur Rhain https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/2163 Fri, 02 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Conflict Management Approaches in Education : A Systematic Literature Study with the PRISMA Method https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/2222 <p>Conflict in educational settings is a natural phenomenon that requires effective management to create a conducive learning climate. This research analyzes conflict management approaches in education through a systematic literature review using the PRISMA method. Data were retrieved from Google Scholar using Publish or Perish (PoP), resulting in 200 articles. After selection, the last 15 articles of the last 5 years were selected as the sample through identification, screening, and eligibility processes. Results showed conflicts arose due to differences in values, ineffective communication, unfair distribution of resources, and academic pressure. A collaborative approach involving all stakeholders (teachers, students, parents, school management) is effective in resolving conflicts constructively. Conflict has a dual impact: it can drive innovation or reduce productivity if unmanaged. A systematic process-from problem identification to solution evaluation-is key to success. Bruce Tuckman's team development model (Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing, Adjourning) emphasizes conflict as a natural stage that strengthens teamwork. In conclusion, effective conflict management not only resolves problems, but also optimizes the potential of conflict as an opportunity for the development of educational institutions. Practical recommendations include conflict resolution training, collaborative approaches, and strengthening communication between parties for a harmonious and productive learning environment.</p> Afina Fidaroin Naja, Ali Abakar Ben Abakar, Hakiroh Juwadelia, Muhammad Sholeh, Syunu Trihantoyo Copyright (c) 2025 Afina Fidaroin Naja, Ali Abakar Ben Abakar, Hakiroh Juwadelia, Muhammad Sholeh, Syunu Trihantoyo https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/2222 Fri, 02 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000 The Concept of Science in the Book Knowledge and the Sacred (Critical Analysis of Book Reviews) https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1423 <p>This article discusses a critical analysis of Seyyed Hossein Nasr's Knowledge and the Sacred book review, focusing on the concept of knowledge.

However, the term kaffah also appears in three other verses. Scholars differ in their opinions regarding the position of kaffah in that verse. Some refer to the word udkhulu and others to al-silm. Naturally, this leads to different interpretations and methods of implementation. This term is related to the issue of the caliphate, often advocated by radical groups in Indonesia. For example, Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) defines it as the implementation of Islamic Sharia law and the caliphate system as the basis of the state. Therefore, this article has two objectives: to understand the correct interpretation of Islam kaffah in the Qur'an and to identify the deviations in understanding Islam kaffah in Indonesia. The method used in this research is critical analysis. The appropriate understanding of Islam kaffah is how a Muslim lives by following Sharia commands based on the Qur'an and Sunnah in totality, while respecting and not disturbing adherents of other religions. It also involves maintaining good relationships and preserving peace and tranquility in this pluralistic society, as established by Islamic leaders and revolutionary heroes during the independence era.</p> Randy Febriananta Primayudha Copyright (c) 2025 Randy Febriananta Primayudha https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1422 Fri, 02 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Analysis of Public Relations Strategy in Improving Islamic Education Quality Management in the Digital Era: Concept and Implementation https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1420 <p>This article aims to analyze public relations strategies in improving the quality management of Islamic education in the digital era.

Pkc) https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1442 <p>Research with this title starts from the problem that the existence of marriage isbat is caused by unregistered marriages. At the Pangkalan Kerinci Religious Court, not all marriage isbat requests are granted by the judge, but there are marriage isbat requests that are rejected or not granted. The research problem is how the judge considers when deciding on marriage isbat cases in unregistered marriages at the Pangkalan Kerinci Religious Court based on Determination Number 44/Pdt.P/2023/PA.Pkc and Determination Number 117/Pdt.P/2021/PA. Pkc. And why do contradictions arise between the settlement of marriage isbats in unregistered marriages? To answer this problem, the author uses a normative juridical legal research method, with a case approach and data collection methods using documentation or literature studies. After the data is obtained, data analysis is carried out based on the main problem using descriptive analysis. The research results show that the reason the judge accepted the petition for case 44/Pdt.P/2023/PA.Pkc regarding marriage isbat was because the marriage fulfilled the marriage requirements and did not conflict with Law No. 1 of 1974 and the Compilation of Islamic Law. Meanwhile, in case petition Number 117/Pdt.P/2021/PA. The judge's reason for rejecting the application was based on Article 2 Paragraph (1) of Law No.1 of 1974, jo. Article 40 letter (b) Compilation of Islamic Law, so the marriage is considered invalid. This is a contradiction between case Number 44/Pdt.P/2023/PA.Pkc and case Number 117/Pdt.P/2021/PA. Pkc is because there are different legal interpretations or assessments of the evidence presented in the two cases. So there are different determinations, namely the marriage isbat in unregistered marriages which are granted and which are rejected.</p> Rokaya Copyright (c) 2025 Rokaya https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1442 Wed, 14 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Socio-Economic Impact on the Sinamot Tradition from an Islamic Law Perspective (Analysis Study of Batak Tribe Customs in Padang Gelugur District, Pasaman Regency) https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1441 <p>Marriage is a fundamental social institution for humans, and almost all religious and cultural teachings regulate its implementation carefully. In Islam, marriage is not only seen from an essential perspective, namely to fulfill God's commands, but also from an ethical perspective, namely to respect and protect women's rights. One of the important elements in an Islamic wedding is the dowry, which serves as a sign of sincerity and respect for the bride. However, apart from religious teachings, cultural values and customs also play a significant role in people's lives. For example, in Padang Gelugur sub-district there is a "sinamot" tradition which is similar to the concept of dowry in Islam. This sinamot money is given before the wedding and is intended as a form of respect for the bride. Even though the purpose is similar to dowry, it is different from dowry. From the perspective of Islamic law, it is important to assess whether the sinamot money tradition is in line with the principles set out in Islam. Essentially, both dowry and sinamot money function to show seriousness and commitment to the marriage, as well as to respect and provide guarantees to the bride. In this research the author focuses on two things, namely how sinamot money is practiced and how sinamot money is reviewed in Islamic law. In the research the author used a qualitative method which helped the author analyze people's customary behavior, using a juridical sociological approach. In the research, the author found that the terms of sinamot money were determined by deliberation between the two parties, and in the analysis in Islamic law, it was in accordance with the theory, namely Maqasid Syari'ah.</p> Nurul Hasanah Copyright (c) 2025 Nurul Hasanah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1441 Thu, 15 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Theoretical Basis of Character Education as a Foundation for Character Formation https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1439 <p>Understanding several theories related to character education is expected to be a foundation in understanding and applying character education to every aspect of daily life.

Data sources in this study include primary data sources and secondary data sources from various reliable references such as scientific journals, books, and other sources that support the research. Data analysis in this study includes data collection, data presentation, data reduction, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the integration of the Rahmatan lil Alamin Student Profile into the Madrasah Aliyah curriculum can be done through co-curricular, intracurricular, and extracurricular activities. The implementation model of the integration of the Rahmatan lil Alamin Student Profile into the Madrasah Aliyah curriculum is broadly divided into three, namely integration within one discipline or subject (within single disciplines), integration across several disciplines, and integration between and between (internal) learners (within and across learner). Factors that support and hinder the process of integrating the Rahmatan lil Alamin Student Profile values ​​into the Madrasah Aliyah curriculum are closely related to the understanding of educators, commitment and cooperation between the entire madrasah community, support for facilities and infrastructure, support and cooperation between educators and parents, and the diverse backgrounds of students.</p> Siti Nurmela, Yanto Maulana Restu, Mada Sumringah Sari, Badrudin, Qiqi Yuliati Zaqiah Copyright (c) 2025 Siti Nurmela, Yanto Maulana Restu, Mada Sumringah Sari, Badrudin, Qiqi Yuliati Zaqiah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1438 Thu, 15 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Religious Moderation and Nationalism According to NU Scholars https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1743 <p>This research aims to analyze the views of the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) Ulama regarding religious and national moderation. In the context of a pluralistic Indonesia, religious moderation is expected to be a solution to overcome the problems of extremism and intolerance that often arise, while the concept of nationality plays an important role in maintaining harmony between religious communities. To achieve this aim, this research uses qualitative methods with in-depth interview techniques and document analysis. Data was obtained from NU ulama who have experience and deep understanding of moderation and nationality issues, both in local and national contexts. The theory used in this research is the theory of religious pluralism, which emphasizes the importance of mutual respect, recognition of diversity, and interreligious dialogue in building social harmony. The research results show that NU ulama emphasize the need for balance between faith and nationality, as well as an active role in maintaining tolerance in society. They argue that religious moderation is not just an attitude, but must also be realized in real actions that can strengthen solidarity between religious communities. It is hoped that these findings can make a significant contribution to the development of religious moderation strategies in Indonesia, as well as become a reference for public policies that support harmonious national life. By understanding the perspective of NU ulama, it is hoped that better cooperation can be established between various elements of society in creating a tolerant and peaceful environment. This research also suggests the need for educational programs that prioritize moderation and national values ​​for future generations, so that the vision of harmony and unity can continue to be maintained and strengthened.</p> Syafi’i, Sukirman Copyright (c) 2025 Syafi’i, Sukirman https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1743 Fri, 16 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Religious Moderation from the Perspective of KMA 450 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1860 <p>This study aims to analyze the implementation of religious moderation based on the Regulation of the Minister of Religious Affairs (KMA) No. 450 in Indonesia, particularly in education and religious life. KMA No. 450 emphasizes the importance of applying the principles of moderation, such as balance, tolerance, justice, and respect for diversity, as an effort to foster harmony in a plural society. Religious moderation not only serves as a foundation in religious education curricula but also as a guideline in social interactions. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach by examining the document of KMA No. 450 and its supporting policies. The findings reveal that KMA No. 450 has a positive impact on shaping moderate attitudes among students and the community. The values of religious moderation taught through Islamic religious education help prevent intolerance and extremism while nurturing awareness of the importance of coexisting in diversity. However, its implementation faces challenges, such as resistance from certain groups and limited resources. The study recommends enhancing the dissemination of moderation values, providing training for educators, and developing curricula and teaching materials based on religious moderation. With proper implementation, KMA No. 450 has the potential to serve as a strategic guide in fostering peaceful and harmonious religious life in Indonesia.</p> Siti Ropiah, Muhamad Abduh Copyright (c) 2025 Siti Ropiah, Muhamad Abduh https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1860 Fri, 16 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000 The Role of Dormitory Management in Preventive Bullying Action at the Modern Darussalam Gontor Islamic Boarding School Campus 7, Kalianda - South Lampung https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/1446 <p>This article discusses the role of dormitory administrators in bullying preventive action at Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor Campus 7, Kalianda - South Lampung.

The phenomenon of religious radicalization on social media has become a complex and challenging global issue. Social media, as a digital interaction space, provides a significant opportunity for the spread of radical ideologies by leveraging platform algorithms to quickly reach a wider audience. The research adopts a qualitative approach based on literature studies, analyzing scholarly journals, reports, and related literature on digital radicalization. The findings reveal that radicalization on social media is often amplified by echo chambers, a lack of digital literacy, and algorithms that promote extreme content. The resulting impacts include social polarization, increased intolerance, and threats to societal diversity. However, the religious moderation approach offers an effective solution through the promotion of inclusive narratives, enhancement of digital literacy, and collaboration among various stakeholders, including governments, religious institutions, and technology platforms.</p> Ahmad Baihaki, Burhanudin Copyright (c) 2025 Ahmad Baihaki, Burhanudin https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://mail.al-afkar.com/index.php/Afkar_Journal/article/view/2000 Mon, 19 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000
