A Comparative Study of al-Jarḩ wa al-Ta‘dīl in Ahl al-Sunnah and Shī‘ah Imāmiyyah
The science of al-Jarḩ wa al-Ta‘dīl occupies a central position in hadith criticism as the primary instrument for evaluating the credibility of hadith narrators. Ahl al-Sunnah developed this discipline around the criteria of ‘adālah and ḍabṭ, while Shī‘ah Imāmiyyah developed a parallel discipline known as ‘Ilm al-Rijāl, which places strong emphasis on a narrator's loyalty to Ahl al-Bayt. This methodological divergence carries significant implications for the corpus of hadith accepted by each school, yet a focused comparative study of the two traditions remains limited. This study aims to compare the concepts, criteria, and epistemological foundations of al-Jarḩ wa al-Ta‘dīl in the Sunni tradition with ‘Ilm al-Rijāl in the Imāmī Shī‘ah tradition, and to examine how these methodological differences shape the acceptance of contested hadith such as the hadith of Ghadīr Khum and the hadith of the twelve caliphs. This research employs a qualitative library research design with a thematic (mawḍū‘ī) approach, a descriptive-analytical method, documentation as the data collection technique, and content analysis as the data analysis technique. Primary sources include Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, and classical rijāl literature from both traditions, supported by relevant secondary scholarship. The findings show that although both schools share the goal of safeguarding the authenticity of hadith and use comparable narrator classifications such as thiqah and ḍa‘īf, they differ fundamentally in their standards for evaluating the Companions, their sources of religious authority, and the resulting corpus of accepted hadith. These differences are not merely technical but reflect divergent paradigms in understanding religious authority and the transmission of Islamic teachings.

Digitalizing Menstrual Fiqh Education: The Use of RIMA Application to Support Haid Cycle Monitoring among Female Islamic Boarding School Administrators
This study explores the use of the RIMA application as a digital learning medium to support menstrual fiqh education among female administrators of Al Ishlah Assalafiyah Islamic Boarding School, Luwungragi. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. The findings reveal that the RIMA application contributes significantly to improving participants’ understanding of menstruation-related fiqh, particularly in distinguishing between haid, istihadhah, and periods of purity. The application also facilitates systematic menstrual cycle monitoring, enabling users to connect personal biological experiences with Islamic legal principles. Furthermore, the integration of menstrual data into learning activities promotes experiential and student-centered learning, resulting in greater engagement and critical reflection. Although challenges related to digital literacy and technological adaptation were identified, the study demonstrates that digital tools can enhance the effectiveness of Islamic learning. The findings highlight the potential of RIMA as an innovative model for digitalizing women’s fiqh education in Islamic boarding schools

Political Education Methods in the Islamic Perspective: An Analysis of the Political Education Methods Employed by Prophet Muhammad SAW
This study examines the methods applied by the Prophet Muhammad SAW in political education based on the Qur'anic perspective. Indonesian political education currently shows a significant gap between the growing number of political parties and the quality of political education produced. Scholars such as Omar Muhammad al-Toumy al-Syaibany, Hassan Langgulung, and Muhammad Quthb assert that educational success is fundamentally determined by the quality of methods used, not merely the content of the curriculum. Using qualitative interpretive methodology with a thematic Qur'anic approach (mawdhu'i), this study identifies at least 32 political education methods practiced by the Prophet, producing three primary domains of transformative change: 11 Cognitive methods, 19 Affective methods, and 2 Psychomotor methods. These methods are rooted in the Qur'anic principles of Surah al-Nahl verse 125 hikmah, mau'izhah hasanah, and mujadalah. Implementation within the family unit is identified as the key to societal transformation, as the family constitutes the first and most decisive institution for cultivating political consciousness in successive generations

Islamic Educational Values within the Curriculum of Love: A Semantic Analysis of Nasaruddin Umar’s Educational Thought
This study aims to analyze the Islamic educational values embedded in the Love-Based Curriculum (Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta—KBC) introduced by Prof. Dr. KH. Nasaruddin Umar through a semantic perspective. It seeks to explore the deeper meanings of the key concepts underlying the curriculum and examine their relevance as a new paradigm for fostering a more humanistic and transformative model of Islamic education in Indonesia. This research employs a qualitative approach using the library research method. Primary data were collected from Nasaruddin Umar’s works and official documents issued by the Ministry of Religious Affairs, while secondary data were obtained from scholarly literature on Islamic education. The data were analyzed using semantic analysis to investigate the meanings and interrelationships of central concepts, including cinta (love), rahmah (compassion), and Panca Cinta (Five Dimensions of Love). The findings indicate that the Love-Based Curriculum is grounded in an integrated theological, logical, and ethical framework. Semantic analysis reveals that the concepts of mahabbah, rahmah, and Panca Cinta comprising love for Allah and His Messenger, love for oneself and others, love for knowledge, love for the environment, and love for the homeland embody holistic meanings that integrate theological, spiritual, humanistic, ecological, and national dimensions. This framework reorients Islamic education from a predominantly formalistic approach toward one centered on compassion and the values of rahmatan lil ‘alamin (mercy for all creation). Theoretically, this study contributes to the development of Islamic educational thought by offering a semantic perspective on contemporary curriculum discourse. Practically, the Love-Based Curriculum presents a promising model for developing a more inclusive, humanistic, and value-oriented educational system. Nevertheless, as this study is limited to library research, further empirical investigations are recommended to assess the effectiveness of its implementation in diverse educational contexts.

The Construction of Tarāduf between Khauf and Khasyah in the Qur’an: Semantic Analysis and Interpretive Implications
This study examines the construction of al-tarāduf between the words khauf and khasyyah in the Qur’an through semantic analysis and its implications for interpretation. Both words are often translated as “fear,” yet they possess different nuances of meaning when analyzed contextually. This research aims to explore the meanings of khauf and khasyyah, analyze their usage in Qur’anic verses, and identify the interpretive implications arising from the differences between the two terms. This study employs a qualitative method with a library research approach by examining classical and contemporary tafsir literature as well as linguistic studies related to Qur’anic semantics. The findings indicate that khauf refers more to general fear arising from perceived danger or threat, whereas khasyah denotes fear rooted in knowledge, reverence, and awareness of the greatness of Allah. These differences demonstrate that the Qur’an does not use synonymous words randomly, but rather places each word according to its semantic and contextual function. Therefore, understanding the distinction between khauf and khasyah is important in order to avoid simplification of meaning and to strengthen accuracy in interpreting Qur’anic verses.

The Ngaji Duduk Tradition of Banjar Women as a Manifestation of Islam Nusantara: An Analysis of Contemporary Islamic Thought
This study aims to analyze the tradition of ngaji duduk among Banjar women as a manifestation of Islam Nusantara and to examine its relevance within contemporary Islamic thought. The research focuses on understanding how this local religious tradition functions as a medium for transmitting Islamic values, strengthening women’s religious agency, and preserving indigenous Islamic culture in South Kalimantan. This study employs a qualitative approach using library research methods. Data were collected from books, scientific articles, historical documents, and scholarly works related to Banjar culture, Islamic education, women’s religious participation, Islam Nusantara, and contemporary Islamic thought. The findings reveal that the ngaji duduk tradition represents a living manifestation of Islam Nusantara characterized by moderation, cultural accommodation, social harmony, and contextual religious understanding. Banjar women are not merely recipients of religious knowledge but active agents in maintaining Islamic scholarship, social cohesion, and local religious identity. Furthermore, this tradition reflects contemporary Islamic perspectives that emphasize inclusiveness, contextualization, local wisdom, and the integration of Islamic teachings with socio-cultural realities. The novelty of this study lies in its effort to connect Banjar women’s religious practices with the discourse of Islam Nusantara and contemporary Islamic thought, thereby demonstrating that local traditions can serve as significant instruments for preserving Islamic values amid modern social transformations.

The Dynamics of Contemporary Islamic Thought in the “Muhammadiyah Is Not Wahhabi” Narrative: A Framing Analysis Based on Robert N. Entman’s Framework
This study aims to analyze the construction of the “Muhammadiyah Is Not Wahhabi” narrative and to examine how such a discourse reflects broader dynamics of contemporary Islamic thought in Indonesia. This research employs a qualitative approach using library research methods and applies Robert N. Entman’s framing analysis model, which consists of four analytical dimensions: defining problems, diagnosing causes, making moral judgments, and recommending treatments. The data were collected from digital religious discourses, scholarly literature, and relevant media texts discussing Muhammadiyah, Wahhabism, and Islamic identity. The findings indicate that the narrative frames Muhammadiyah as an autonomous Islamic reform movement with distinctive historical, theological, and methodological foundations that differ from Wahhabism. The discourse also portrays Wahhabism as an external ideological influence while positioning Ahmad Dahlan’s intellectual legacy as a source of legitimacy for Muhammadiyah’s independent identity. Furthermore, the study reveals that digital religious narratives function not only as instruments of da‘wah but also as arenas for ideological contestation, identity construction, and the reinterpretation of Islamic thought in the digital age. The novelty of this research lies in its integration of framing analysis with contemporary Islamic thought studies, demonstrating how digital discourse actively shapes theological boundaries and religious identities within Indonesian Islam.

Islam, Tradition, and Modernity: A Living Hadits Analysis of the Transformation of Sound Symbols for Iftar Time in Banjar Society
This study aims to analyze the transformation of sound symbols used to mark iftar time in Banjar society through the perspective of living hadith, with particular attention to the interaction between Islam, local tradition, and modernity. The research investigates how prophetic teachings concerning the determination of iftar time have been interpreted, embodied, and transformed through different auditory symbols, ranging from direct observation of sunset, the adhan, and the beduk to contemporary digital notifications. This study employs a qualitative library research method utilizing classical hadith collections, works of Islamic scholarship, living hadith studies, sociological analyses of religion, and contemporary literature on digital religiosity. The findings reveal that the transformation of sound symbols does not alter the normative foundation of the prophetic tradition but reflects a dynamic process of adaptation to changing socio-cultural and technological contexts. In Banjar society, the beduk functions not only as an auditory marker of iftar but also as a symbol of collective memory, cultural identity, and religious education. The transition toward digital notifications demonstrates the continuing relevance of prophetic teachings in contemporary Muslim life. The novelty of this study lies in its integration of living hadith theory, sound symbolism, Banjar Islamic culture, and modern digital religiosity to explain how religious traditions maintain continuity while simultaneously accommodating cultural and technological transformations

A Methodology for Reading Tafsir Manuscripts: Philological and Hermeneutical Analysis within the Framework of Qirā’ah al-Nuṣūṣ
This study aims to analyze the methodology of reading tafsir manuscripts (qirā’ah al-nuṣūṣ) through philological and hermeneutical approaches and to explain the urgency of integrating both approaches within contemporary Qur’anic exegesis studies. The study is motivated by the tendency of tafsir scholarship to separate textual validity, which constitutes the primary concern of philology, from contextual interpretation, which is the central focus of hermeneutics. This research employs a qualitative-descriptive library research method. Data were collected from various primary and secondary sources, including books, journal articles, and other scholarly works relevant to the research topic. Data collection was conducted through documentary research, while data analysis employed content analysis of the selected literature. The findings reveal that philology plays a crucial role in ensuring textual authenticity and validity through manuscript criticism, collation, and textual reconstruction, whereas hermeneutics functions to interpret textual meaning based on historical and social contexts as well as the reader’s horizon of understanding. Although these approaches differ in orientation, they are complementary in the interpretative process. This study concludes that the integration of philology and hermeneutics constitutes an ideal methodological framework for reading tafsir manuscripts, as it maintains a balance between textual validity and contextual relevance. Consequently, such an integrated approach produces interpretations that are both academically rigorous and contextually meaningful in addressing the challenges of contemporary tafsir studies.

Teacher Assignment Management Based on Competencies and Academic Qualifications in the Perspective of Islamic Education
Human resource management in schools determines the effectiveness of the learning process, one of which is through the distribution of teaching tasks. Placing teachers who do not align with their educational background and expertise can reduce the quality of teaching and organizational performance. This study aims to examine the ideal distribution of teaching tasks based on teacher competency and qualifications. The method used is a literature review analyzing various relevant educational management concepts and theories. The results of the study indicate that effective distribution of tasks must be based on appropriate disciplines, mastery of professional and pedagogical competencies, and a proportional workload analysis. Implementing this principle requires accurate data support, policy transparency, and active teacher participation. The implications of these findings emphasize the importance of careful planning and a continuous evaluation system to ensure that each task is assigned to the most appropriate personnel, thereby improving the quality of learning and overall school performance.

Qawāʿid al-Tafsīr: The Implementation of Qawāʿid al-Tafsīr in Qur’anic Interpretation Based on the Qur’an and the Sunnah
Qawāʿid al-Tafsīr constitute essential methodological principles for maintaining the validity of Qur’anic interpretation. Without an appropriate foundational framework, interpretation is at risk of semantic distortion. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Qawāʿid al-Tafsīr in interpretations based on the Qur’an and the Sunnah. The research employs a qualitative method with a library research approach, involving the analysis of classical and contemporary tafsir literature. Data were analyzed descriptively and analytically to identify the application of these principles in interpreting Qur’anic verses. The results indicate that the application of Qawāʿid al-Tafsīr within tafsīr bi al-ma’thūr ensures consistency of meaning, prevents contradictions, and strengthens interpretive validity, particularly through interpreting the Qur’an by the Qur’an, Hadith, and asbāb al-nuzūl. Conclusion: Qawāʿid al-Tafsīr grounded in the Qur’an and the Sunnah represent an essential approach for preserving the accuracy and authenticity of interpretation. Recommendation: Future studies should examine the application of Qawāʿid al-Tafsīr in thematic verses more practically and integrate classical and contemporary approaches to enhance methodological relevance.

The Thought of Ibn Taymiyyah as a Framework for Critical Thinking in Islamic Education in the Post-Truth Era
This study aims to analyze the relevance of Ibn Taymiyyah’s thoughts on critical thinking to the development of Islamic education in the post-truth era. The study employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive-analytical method through library research. Data were obtained from various relevant literature on Ibn Taymiyyah’s thought, Islamic education, and the post-truth phenomenon, and were analyzed using content analysis. The results of the study indicate that Ibn Taymiyyah’s concept of critical thinking rooted in criticism of excessive ta’wil, rejection of blind adherence (taqlid), and the emphasis on the importance of ijtihad remains relevant in addressing the challenges of contemporary Islamic education. These concepts can be applied through the harmonization of reason and revelation, guided inquiry-based learning, and the application of the tabayyun method in dealing with the flow of digital information, thereby fostering students who are critical, selective, and responsible.

Financial Comfort Zone and the Academic Learning Ethos of KIP-Kuliah Scholarship Recipients: A Phenomenological Study in the Perspective of Islamic Values
This study aims to analyze the effect of the financial comfort zone on the learning discipline of college students receiving the KIP-Kuliah scholarship. The financial comfort zone is a psychological condition where students feel secure due to full tuition coverage and monthly stipends, which potentially triggers a moral hazard in the form of academic passivity. This study employs a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews and observation of KIP-Kuliah recipients whose class attendance fell below 75%. The results indicate that a stable financial comfort zone contributes to a decline in learning discipline when not accompanied by rigid institutional monitoring or strong intrinsic motivation. The guarantee of "free college" tends to diminish the students' sense of urgency, leading to behaviors such as skipping morning classes and delaying assignment submissions. This study recommends that higher education institutions implement a real-time attendance monitoring system directly tied to semesterly scholarship eligibility evaluations

The study employs a qualitative approach using the library research method. Data were collected from books, scholarly journal articles, historical documents, and various relevant studies concerning Islamic education, Banjar culture, local wisdom, and Qur’anic memorization education. Data analysis was conducted through content analysis, interpretation, categorization, and synthesis of various academic sources. The findings reveal that Baiman serves as the foundation of spiritual and theological development, Bauntung represents educational productivity and competence, Batuah reflects beneficial character and social contribution, while Baadab embodies ethical and moral excellence. These values are not merely cultural expressions; rather, they constitute a comprehensive framework of Islamic educational thought that supports the holistic development of Qur’anic memorizers. The study further demonstrates that the integration of Banjar local wisdom into tahfidz education contributes to strengthening religious identity, character formation, and social responsibility. The novelty of this research lies in reconstructing Banjar cultural values as a conceptual framework of Islamic educational thought while positioning them as a foundational paradigm for contemporary Qur’anic memorization education

However, Islamic education also possesses strong future prospects through the integration of Islamic values, digital innovation, continuous professional development, and transformational leadership models. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative analysis that combines the dimensions of organizational transformation, global educational challenges, and value-based human resource development within the context of twenty-first-century Islamic education

Integration of Heroic Values and Banjar Culture in Islamic Education to Shape National Character
This study aims to analyze the integration of heroic values and Banjar culture in Islamic education as an effort to shape a religious, nationalistic, independent, and noble national character. This study employs a library research method using a descriptive qualitative approach. The data sources were obtained from various literature materials, including books, scientific journals, academic articles, Banjar cultural documents, and references related to Islamic education and character education.

The findings reveal that the heroic values embedded within Banjar society, such as courage, responsibility, social solidarity, religiosity, hard work, and the spirit of dedication, have strong relevance to the objectives of Islamic education in forming insan kamil (the complete human being). Banjar culture also contains local values that support the formation of national character, including mutual cooperation, deliberation, politeness, respect for religious scholars, and religious traditions rich in moral education. The integration of these values into Islamic education can be implemented through curriculum development, local culture-based learning, teacher exemplification, religious habituation, and social community activities. The novelty of this study lies in its effort to connect the heroic values of Banjar society with the concept of character education in Islamic education in an integrative and contextual manner as a model for strengthening national character based on local wisdom

Islamic Bioethics from the Perspective of Islamic Religious Education toward the Development of Modern Science
The rapid development of modern science and technology, particularly in the fields of medicine, biotechnology, and healthcare, has significantly transformed human life. Innovations such as genetic engineering, cloning, in vitro fertilization (IVF), organ transplantation, and vaccine development have contributed greatly to improving human health and quality of life. However, these advancements also raise ethical, moral, and religious concerns that require comprehensive analysis, particularly from the perspective of Islamic bioethics. This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic bioethics and Islamic Religious Education in addressing the challenges posed by modern scientific development. The research employs a qualitative approach using library research methods by examining books, scientific journals, fatwas, and other relevant academic literature related to Islamic bioethics, maqashid sharia, and the ethics of modern science. The findings indicate that Islam fundamentally supports scientific and technological advancement as long as it remains aligned with moral values and the objectives of Islamic law (maqashid sharia). Islamic bioethics functions as an ethical framework for evaluating modern biomedical technologies by emphasizing the protection of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property. Furthermore, Islamic Religious Education plays a strategic role in fostering ethical awareness, critical thinking, and spiritual responsibility among students in responding to technological advancement. Therefore, the integration of Islamic bioethics into Islamic Religious Education is essential for developing a generation that is intellectually competent, morally responsible, and spiritually grounded in facing the challenges of modern science and technology.

Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis was carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing using source and technique triangulation. The findings revealed that the implementation of reward and punishment in Islamic Religious Education learning had a positive impact on shaping students’ disciplinary character. Rewards were given in the form of praise, verbal appreciation, additional scores, and appreciation for positive behavior, while punishments were applied educatively through warnings, advice, guidance, and educational assignments. In addition, the internalization of disciplinary values was strengthened through positive habituation and teacher role modeling in daily school activities. The consistent implementation of reward and punishment was proven to improve students’ learning motivation, responsibility, and compliance with school regulations. Therefore, reward and punishment can be an effective strategy in developing students’ disciplinary character in junior high schools.

The Meaning of “Deniers of Religion” in QS. Al-Mā‘ūn [107]: 1–3: An Islamic Thought Analysis of Structural Poverty
The purpose of this study is to reveal the meaning of "pendusta agama" in QS al-Maun/107:1-3, as well as to analyze the relationship between the behavior of "pendusta agama" and structural poverty, and the solutions offered to address poverty. The research method used is qualitative descriptive with a library research approach. The method used is the tahlili method. The results of the study show that the term "pendusta agama" in QS al-Mā‘ūn is not only understood as someone who denies religious teachings, but also as someone who is unjust to orphans, reluctant to help the poor, and does not promote social awareness. These behaviors are related to the formation of structural poverty because they reflect social injustice and the neglect of the rights of the disadvantaged. Penelitian ini juga menegaskan bahwa kemiskinan dipengaruhi oleh sistem sosial yang tidak berpihak pada masyarakat miskin dan bukan sekadar persoalan individual. Therefore, QS al-Mā‘ūn conveys a moral and social message to Muslims to build social awareness, distribute aid effectively, and optimize the use of zakat to reduce poverty and social inequality. This study is expected to contribute to the development of social tafsir studies related to the problem of poverty. Further research is recommended to develop a more in-depth study through the maqāṣid approach

Religious Moderation in Islamic Education Learning and Its Influence on Students’ Multicultural Attitudes in Multiethnic Areas
This article examines the relevance of religious moderation in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning to the formation of multicultural attitudes among students, particularly in multiethnic regions such as Balangan Regency, South Kalimantan. Using an integrative literature review approach, this study analyzes the relationship between the concept of religious moderation (tawassuth, tawazun, i'tidal, tasamuh) and the dimensions of multicultural attitudes as framed by James A. Banks. Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Theory is employed as a meta-theory to understand the position of PAI learning as an agent of value socialization within the school microsystem. Findings indicate that PAI learning that consistently and contextually integrates moderation values is both relevant and effective in building students' multicultural attitudes across cognitive, affective, and conative dimensions. PAI teachers who serve as role models (uswah hasanah) for inclusive values and employ dialogical and cooperative learning methods function as the most strategic transformative agents. The implications of this study affirm the necessity of reformulating PAI learning approaches from doctrinal transmission toward contextual and participatory value internalization, especially in regions with complex multiethnic compositions outside Java

Children’s Moral Education within the Family (A Case Study of Muhammadiyah Families in Sungai Pandan District, Hulu Sungai Utara Regency)
Children's moral education in the family is an important part in the formation of children's character and behavior from an early age. The family is the first environment for children to receive education, especially moral education related to attitudes, behavior, and Islamic values ​​in everyday life. Muhammadiyah families pay attention to the development of children's morals through the habit of worship, role models, advice, and supervision within the family environment. This study aims to determine the moral education of children in Muhammadiyah families in Sungai Pandan District, Hulu Sungai Utara Regency. This study uses a field research type with a qualitative approach and case study method. The research subjects consisted of parents and children in Muhammadiyah families in Sungai Pandan District, Hulu Sungai Utara Regency. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation.

A Literature Review on Emotional Intelligence, Spiritual Intelligence, and Learning Interest from an Islamic Education Perspective
This study aims to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence, spiritual intelligence, and learning interest from the perspective of Islamic education. The objective of this study is to synthesize existing literature and explore how emotional and spiritual dimensions contribute to fostering students' learning interest within the framework of Islamic educational values. This study employs a literature review method by examining and analyzing various books, journal articles, and academic publications related to emotional intelligence, spiritual intelligence, learning interest, and Islamic education. The findings indicate that emotional intelligence plays a significant role in helping students manage their emotions, develop positive social interactions, and maintain motivation throughout the learning process. Spiritual intelligence contributes to the development of life meaning, self-awareness, moral responsibility, and a stronger connection with religious values, which can enhance students’ engagement in learning activities. From the perspective of Islamic education, both forms of intelligence are closely associated with the cultivation of iman (faith), taqwa (piety), akhlaq (moral character), and self-discipline. The reviewed literature suggests that the integration of emotional and spiritual intelligence supports the development of stronger and more sustainable learning interest among students. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative approach that connects emotional intelligence, spiritual intelligence, and learning interest within the context of Islamic education. This review offers a more holistic perspective by emphasizing the interrelationship of emotional, spiritual, and educational values in shaping students’ learning interest and overall development.

Beyond Memorization: An Islamic Religious Education Learning Model for the Internalization of Character Values
Islamic Religious Education (PAI) has an important role in shaping students’ character through the cultivation of Islamic values in educational settings. However, the learning process is still often centered on memorization and theoretical understanding, so the values taught are not always reflected in students’ daily attitudes and behavior. This article discusses the concept of beyond memorization as a learning approach that emphasizes not only knowledge acquisition, but also understanding, appreciation, and the practical application of character values in everyday life. The study uses a literature review method by examining journals, books, and other scientific sources related to PAI learning models and the internalization of character values. The findings reveal that contextual, cooperative, problem-based, and multidisciplinary learning models can make the learning process more meaningful and relevant to students’ real-life experiences. Character values are instilled through teachers’ role models, habituation, advice, the creation of a religious school culture, and continuous interaction between teachers and students. Through this approach, PAI learning functions not merely as a medium for delivering religious knowledge, but also as a means of developing religious character, discipline, responsibility, tolerance, and social awareness in facing the challenges of modern society.

The Dynamics of Early Islamic Thought: Conceptions and Differences of the Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hanbali Mazhab
This study examines the dynamics of early Islamic thought that underlie the emergence of the four major mazhabs of jurisprudence, namely Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali. After the Prophet Muhammad SAW passed away, Muslims faced challenges in the form of territorial expansion and social complexity, which triggered differences in legal interpretation. Using a library research method with descriptive-qualitative analysis, this study explores the socio-political background, ijtihad methodology (ushul fiqh), as well as the characteristics of each mazhab. The results of the study show that differences of opinion among the mazhab imams are not a form of division, but rather a dynamic intellectual response to the realities of the time. The Hanafi mazhab is known for its rationalist approach (ahl al-ra’y), the Maliki mazhab strongly adheres to the traditions of the people of Medina (amal ahl al-Madinah), the Shafi'i mazhab successfully synergizes text and reason systematically, while the Hanbali mazhab tends to be textual and conservative. This study emphasizes that the diversity of these methodologies constitutes an intellectual wealth that preserves the flexibility of Islamic law in addressing various contemporary issues, ranging from transactional matters to practical worship.

Islamic Entrepreneurship among Single-Parent Teachers in Islamic Boarding Schools: A Model for Strengthening Family Economic Resilience Based on Islamic Values at Pesantren Al-Amien Putri I
This study aims to analyze the implementation of Islamic entrepreneurship among single-parent teachers at Pesantren Al-Amien Putri I Prenduan as a model for strengthening family economic resilience based on Islamic values. The increasing phenomenon of single-parent families has created complex economic, psychological, and social challenges, particularly for women who carry dual roles as educators and heads of households. In the pesantren context, these challenges are addressed through entrepreneurial practices that are not solely profit-oriented, but also integrate spiritual, moral, and Islamic educational values. This study employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation, and documentation involving single-parent teachers at Pesantren Al-Amien Putri I Prenduan. Data analysis utilized the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing conducted simultaneously. The findings reveal that the implementation of Islamic entrepreneurship is manifested through the development of productive businesses based on pesantren needs, the internalization of the values of ṣidq (honesty), amanah (trustworthiness), responsibility, and an orientation toward barakah (blessing) in economic activities. These entrepreneurial practices not only strengthen family economic resilience but also enhance psychological resilience, women’s independence, and the spiritual resilience of single-parent teachers. Supporting factors include pesantren culture, social support, workplace flexibility, and individual religiosity, while the main challenges involve limited time, business capital constraints, emotional exhaustion, and social stigma. This study formulates the conceptual model of Islamic Edupreneurship for Family Resilience as an integration of economic empowerment, character education, and spiritual strengthening in building pesantren-based family resilience.

Transforming Educators' Competencies for Human-Centered Learning in the Era of Artificial Intelligence: A Literature Review from the Perspective of Islamic Educational Values
The development of Artificial Intelligence has created significant opportunities for educational transformation through more adaptive and personalized learning innovations. However, the rapid penetration of digital technology also raises the risk of educational dehumanization when learning processes become overly oriented toward automation and technological efficiency. This study aims to analyze the transformation of educators’ competencies from the perspective of human-centered learning in the era of Artificial Intelligence. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using a library research method by analyzing national scientific articles published between 2020 and 2026 and indexed through Google Scholar. The data were analyzed using literature analysis techniques to identify thematic patterns, research tendencies, and conceptual syntheses related to teacher competencies in the AI era. The findings indicate that educators’ competencies have shifted from conventional pedagogical competencies toward multidimensional competencies encompassing AI literacy, human-centered pedagogy, empathetic communication, reflective leadership, and technology-based collaborative learning. Human-centered learning has emerged as a dominant paradigm emphasizing empathy, social interaction, critical reflection, and meaningful learning experiences as the core of educational processes. The integration of AI has improved learning personalization, administrative efficiency, and instructional media innovation, yet it also poses the potential to weaken humanistic dimensions if not balanced with ethical and social values. This study contributes theoretically to strengthening the discourse on AI-based human-centered learning and practically serves as a foundation for developing teacher training programs, AI literacy, and humanistic educational policies in Indonesia.
