Negotiating Identity Through Language: A Linguistic Landscape Analysis of Islamic Boarding School Names in Malang, Indonesia
The linguistic landscape of Islamic boarding schools offers insight into the ways educational institutions express religious values and cultural affiliations through language. This study explores how pesantren in Malang, Indonesia, construct and negotiate their identities through institutional naming practices displayed in public spaces. Adopting a qualitative descriptive approach, the research involved twenty-nine Islamic boarding schools selected purposively to represent different institutional backgrounds. Data were gathered through direct observation, photographic documentation, and semi-structured interviews and subsequently analyzed using Sudaryanto’s correspondence method and thematic analysis. The findings identify four linguistic patterns in pesantren names: monolingual Javanese, bilingual Indonesian–Javanese, bilingual Javanese–Arabic, and multilingual Indonesian–Javanese–Arabic forms. The predominance of the Javanese–Arabic pattern indicates a close connection between local cultural traditions and the symbolic authority of Islam. While Arabic serves to reinforce religious legitimacy, Indonesian facilitates broader social communication, and Javanese preserves regional identity and historical continuity. These naming practices demonstrate that pesantren signboards function not only as markers of institutional presence but also as sites where cultural heritage, religious meanings, and social aspirations intersect and evolve.

The Transformation of Aqidah Akhlak Values in Shaping Taqwa Character and Scientific Discipline among Santri: An Ethnographic Study at Putri Salafiyah Bangil and Banat 2 Sidogiri Islamic Boarding Schools
This study examines the transformation of Aqidah Akhlak values in shaping the character of taqwa (God-consciousness) and the attitude of scientific discipline among female students (santri) at Pondok Pesantren Putri Salafiyah Bangil and Banat 2 Sidogiri. The research employed a qualitative approach with an ethnographic design. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, involving the pengasuh (caregivers), ustazah (female teachers), administrators, senior students, and active students. The findings reveal that the transformation of values occurs through instruction, role modeling, habituation, supervision, the application of ta‘zīr (educational sanctions), and the involvement of students in organizational management and teaching activities. This process develops from rule-dependent obedience toward the formation of habits and personal awareness. The character of taqwa is reflected in the regular performance of worship, honesty, self-control, fulfillment of responsibilities, and concern for others. Meanwhile, the attitude of scientific discipline is demonstrated through diligence in attending religious lessons, reading and reviewing classical Islamic texts (kitab), maintaining proper etiquette toward teachers, managing time effectively, preparing lessons, and completing assignments without continuous reminders. This study identifies two models of value transformation. Salafiyah Bangil exhibits a relational-collective model based on the close interaction among administrators, amidi (student coordinators), senior students, and dormitory supervisors. In contrast, Banat 2 Sidogiri demonstrates a charismatic-structural model strengthened by the exemplary leadership of Bu Nyai, collective activities, and the consistent enforcement of institutional regulations. Both models indicate that the success of pesantren education is not merely reflected in students’ compliance with rules, but also in the development of religious awareness, responsibility in learning, and readiness to guide and mentor other students.

Religious Activities and the Construction of Religious Character Among Children with Special Needs in Inclusive Schools in Palembang
Inclusive education seeks not only to ensure equal access to education but also to foster the holistic development of children with special needs, including their religious character. However, limited adaptive educational strategies and the absence of systematic frameworks for integrating religious activities into inclusive learning environments continue to challenge the effectiveness of religious character education. This study aims to examine the construction of religious activities, explore their implementation, and analyze their contributions to the development of religious character among children with special needs in inclusive schools in Palembang, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative multiple-case study design, the research was conducted at SD Negeri 30 Palembang and SMP Negeri 13 Palembang. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observations, questionnaires, and document analysis involving school principals, teachers, special education teachers, parents, and children with special needs. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, while trustworthiness was ensured through triangulation and member checking. The findings reveal that religious activities are systematically constructed through students' needs assessment, adaptive learning objectives, contextual religious content, differentiated instructional strategies, and collaborative partnerships among schools and families. Their implementation is strengthened through habituation, teacher role modelling, individualized mentoring, and inclusive school culture. These practices contribute significantly to the development of worship habits, spiritual awareness, discipline, responsibility, empathy, respect, and positive social interaction among children with special needs. The study concludes that religious activities constitute an adaptive and sustainable educational framework for fostering religious character within inclusive schools. The findings contribute to the advancement of inclusive religious education by providing a contextual model for integrating religious values into character development among children with special needs.

Transcendental Pedagogical Awareness in Digital Learning Transformation: A Phenomenological Study of Islamic Education Teachers in Frontier Areas of East Kalimantan
Digital transformation in education has reshaped teaching and learning practices, encouraging Islamic Education teachers to reconsider the ways in which technology can support educational goals and moral development. While previous studies have predominantly focused on digital competence and technology integration, the spiritual and reflective dimensions underlying teachers’ responses to educational change remain insufficiently explored. This study investigates the transcendental pedagogical awareness of Islamic Education teachers in frontier areas of East Kalimantan during the process of digital learning transformation. Employing a qualitative approach grounded in transcendental phenomenology, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving teachers from senior high schools and vocational schools in Berau Regency. The analysis identified four interconnected dimensions of transcendental pedagogical awareness: muhasabah as the foundation of innovative awareness, technology as a value-oriented pedagogical medium, the emergence of teachers as micro digital content creators, and pedagogical resilience in addressing frontier educational challenges. The findings indicate that meaningful digital transformation extends beyond technological proficiency and is sustained by the integration of spiritual reflection, pedagogical commitment, and contextual adaptation. This study proposes the concept of Transcendental Pedagogical Awareness as a framework for understanding value-based digital transformation in Islamic education.

Marketing Communication on TikTok: Mapping the Intellectual Landscape Through a Systematic Literature Review
This study systematically reviews the intellectual development of TikTok marketing communication research by synthesizing 52 Scopus-indexed journal articles published between 2020 and May 2025. TikTok has evolved from a short-form entertainment platform into an algorithmic, creator-driven, and transactional communication ecosystem; however, existing studies remain fragmented across themes, theories, methods, and research contexts. Guided by the PRISMA 2020 framework, this review applied a structured search strategy, explicit eligibility criteria, and thematic synthesis to identify publication trends, theoretical foundations, methodological patterns, dominant research themes, and future research directions. The findings show that scholarly attention increased sharply from 2020 to 2022, with research concentrated in Asian contexts and published mainly in journals related to retailing, consumer behavior, information systems, and business studies. The literature is dominated by consumer-response theories, particularly Uses and Gratification Theory, Stimulus–Organism–Response, and the Technology Acceptance Model, while strategic communication perspectives such as Integrated Marketing Communication remain underdeveloped. Methodologically, most studies rely on quantitative survey designs, especially SEM and PLS-SEM, with limited use of longitudinal, experimental, mixed-methods, and computational approaches. The thematic synthesis identifies seven major domains: content strategy, influencer and creator marketing, consumer engagement, algorithmic visibility, electronic word-of-mouth, brand communication, and social commerce. By integrating these fragmented findings, this review advances TikTok marketing communication scholarship beyond isolated consumer-response models and offers a conceptual basis for future research on algorithmic visibility, creator-led persuasion, ethical platform governance, and social commerce integration.

Exploring EFL Students’ Experiences of Learning Intensity in Speaking Practice
This study explores how junior secondary EFL students experience learning intensity during speaking practice in the English Time program at MTsN 1 Probolinggo, Indonesia. Rather than treating intensity as task frequency or duration, the study conceptualizes it as a multidimensional experience shaped by cognitive effort, emotional pressure, social visibility, and strategic regulation. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected over four weeks through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with six focal participants, students’ reflective journals, and researcher memos. The data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Four interrelated themes emerged. First, public performance intensified speaking practice because students felt exposed to peer gaze, teacher evaluation, and possible public mistakes. Second, cognitive overload occurred when students treated speaking as a fixed sequence of accurate words and sentences, while learners who used ideas and keywords showed greater flexibility. Third, intensity was emotionally framed either as a threat or as a productive challenge, depending on students’ confidence and perceived classroom safety. Fourth, memorization functioned as the dominant regulation strategy. Full-script memorization reduced anxiety and prevented silence, but it also limited spontaneity when students forgot part of the script. In contrast, keyword-based preparation supported more flexible communication. This study extends EFL speaking, engagement, and willingness-to-communicate research by positioning learning intensity as a socially mediated, cognitively negotiated, emotionally filtered, and strategically managed classroom experience. Pedagogically, the findings suggest that speaking activities should be challenging yet emotionally safe, gradually guiding students from rigid memorization toward keyword planning, guided paraphrasing, peer-supported rehearsal, and spontaneous communication.

Responding to the Crisis of Religious Literacy among Generation Z in the Era of Algorithmic Islam: Developing a Deep Learning-Based Islamic Education Model
The expansion of digital technology and algorithm-driven platforms has transformed the ways Generation Z encounters and interprets religious knowledge, creating new challenges for Islamic education. Although digital media broaden access to religious information, they also encourage the spread of fragmented narratives, misinformation, and uncritical patterns of religious learning. This study aims to examine the crisis of religious literacy experienced by Generation Z in the era of algorithmic Islam and to develop a deep learning-based Islamic education model capable of strengthening critical religious literacy. Using an Educational Design Research (EDR) approach, the study was conducted from March to May 2026 in four Islamic educational institutions in Banten Province, Indonesia. Twenty-five participants, including school principals, Islamic Religious Education teachers, and parents, were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, focus group discussions, document analysis, expert validation, and limited model implementation. The findings indicate that existing Islamic Religious Education remains predominantly transmission-oriented and has not adequately addressed the epistemological complexities of digitally mediated religious environments. The study subsequently developed the Deep Learning-Based Critical Religious Literacy (DL-CRL) Model, which comprises five interconnected dimensions: critical inquiry, digital religious verification, reflective dialogue, collaborative knowledge construction, and transformative religious engagement. Limited implementation demonstrated improvements in students’ ability to evaluate religious information, verify digital sources, and construct evidence-based religious arguments. The proposed model offers an integrative pedagogical framework that connects Islamic educational values, deep learning, and digital religion studies to support religious literacy among Generation Z.

The Effectiveness of Policy Implementation of Rice Land Conversion Control to Support National Food Security in KarawangRegency West Java Province
Rice field conversion has become a critical governance issue in regions where food security objectives intersect with industrial and urban expansion. This study analyzes the effectiveness of rice field conversion control policy in supporting national food security in Karawang Regency, West Java Province, Indonesia. Karawang is a strategic rice-producing region, yet it also functions as a major industrial growth area, creating persistent pressure on productive paddy fields. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected from 35 informants representing policy makers, policy implementers, farmers, academics, journalists, and community actors through semi-structured interviews, field observation, and document review. The data were analyzed through thematic analysis using five dimensions of policy implementation effectiveness: appropriate policy, appropriate implementation, appropriate target, appropriate environment, and appropriate process. The analysis was expanded by examining compensation adequacy and policy synchronization as emerging empirical dimensions. The findings show that the policy has a strong formal foundation and is relevant to agricultural land protection, but its implementation remains only partially effective. Limited public understanding of LP2B, uneven field supervision, weak target achievement, insufficient farmer incentives, and poor alignment between agricultural protection and industrial development continue to constrain policy effectiveness. This study contributes to policy implementation literature by positioning compensation adequacy and policy synchronization as central dimensions of land-use governance in rapidly industrializing agricultural regions. Practically, the study recommends stronger LP2B socialization, integrated inter-agency monitoring, fairer farmer support schemes, and agro-industrial policy alignment to protect productive rice fields and strengthen sustainable food security.

Interpretation of “Nushūz” (An-Nisa: 34) in the Digital Age: Cyber ​​Violence and the Redefinition of Marital Disobedience
This study reinterprets the Qur’anic concept of nushūz in Qur’an 4:34 within the context of cyber violence and digitally mediated marital harm. Classical interpretations have often confined nushūz to physical departure, sexual refusal, or one-sided marital disobedience, thereby limiting its capacity to address non-physical forms of domination in contemporary Muslim households. Using qualitative conceptual research based on systematic library study, critical contextual hermeneutics, and feminist legal hermeneutics, this article examines selected tafsir works, Islamic family-law scholarship, and recent studies on technology-facilitated abuse. This study fills the gap between cyber-violence scholarship and Islamic legal hermeneutics by showing how digital abuse can be interpreted through Qur’anic marital ethics. The analysis demonstrates that nushūz contains a broader ethical meaning related to rupture, imbalance, arrogance, and serious relational disruption. When placed in dialogue with digital realities, cyber violence emerges as a form of marital harm that threatens privacy, dignity, psychological safety, autonomy, and relational justice. The study identifies three principal mechanisms of cyber-nushūz: extractive surveillance, including spyware and unauthorized tracking; reputational weaponization, including online humiliation and image-based abuse; and algorithmic restriction, including digital financial control and blocked access to communication technologies. The article contributes to contemporary Islamic family law by proposing cyber-nushūz as a legal-ethical category grounded in Qur’anic ethics and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. This framework expands the interpretation of nushūz beyond bodily and spatial disobedience toward a digital rights-based understanding of marital violation. Practically, the findings offer a normative basis for religious courts, mediators, and Muslim family-law practitioners to recognize coercive digital conduct as serious marital harm in digitally connected societies.

The Effect of Artificial Intelligence Integration and Computational Thinking on Students’ Religious Problem-Solving Ability in Islamic Religious Education Learning
The rapid adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed educational practices worldwide, yet its pedagogical value in value-based learning remains insufficiently understood. Previous studies have largely examined AI and computational thinking in STEM, higher education, and general digital learning contexts, leaving Islamic Religious Education underexplored. This study investigates the effects of AI integration and computational thinking on students’ religious problem-solving ability in Islamic Religious Education learning. Using a quantitative explanatory correlational survey design, data were collected from 150 grade XI senior high school and madrasah students selected through purposive sampling. A five-point Likert-scale questionnaire was used to measure AI integration, computational thinking, and religious problem-solving ability. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, validity and reliability testing, classical assumption tests, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression with IBM SPSS Statistics. The findings show that AI integration had a positive and significant effect on religious problem-solving ability. Computational thinking also had a positive and significant effect and emerged as the stronger predictor. Simultaneously, AI integration and computational thinking explained 57.5% of the variance in students’ religious problem-solving ability. These findings indicate that the educational value of AI in Islamic Religious Education depends not only on technological access, but also on students’ ability to process information systematically, ethically, and contextually. This study extends technology-enhanced learning and computational thinking literature by positioning computational thinking as a cognitive mechanism that transforms AI-supported information into value-based religious problem solving. Practically, the findings highlight the need for AI-supported Islamic Religious Education that integrates source verification, guided questioning, ethical reflection, and structured reasoning.

Inclusiveness of Pioneer Youth Organizations Around Kayuapu Kulon (POPSIKA) in the Multiversity of the Gondangmanis Bae Kudus Community
This study analyzes how the Pioneer Youth Organization Around Kayuapu Kulon (POPSIKA) constructs and sustains inclusivity in the plural Muslim–Christian community of Gondangmanis Village, Bae District, Kudus, Indonesia. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, then analyzed thematically. The findings show that POPSIKA develops inclusivity not through formal interfaith dialogue alone, but through everyday civic practices embedded in local community life. Five mechanisms were identified: youth-based social participation, reciprocal interfaith cooperation, negotiated theological boundaries, humanitarian solidarity, and informal conflict management. Muslim and Christian youth support one another during religious celebrations in civic roles, participate in collective work, provide social assistance across religious identities, and manage sensitive issues through deliberation and trusted local communication. The study introduces the concept of bounded inclusivity to explain how religious communities can expand cooperation while preserving theological commitments. This concept challenges the assumption that inclusivity requires the dissolution of religious boundaries. Instead, the findings demonstrate that respected boundaries can become enabling conditions for sustainable coexistence when supported by trust, reciprocity, and shared responsibility. Theoretically, this study contributes to discussions on religious pluralism, youth participation, and social cohesion by offering a grounded explanation of how interfaith harmony is produced in everyday life. Practically, it highlights the strategic role of grassroots youth organizations in preventing sectarian tension and strengthening community resilience. The study suggests that bounded inclusivity may serve as a contextual model for plural communities facing intolerance, polarization, and fragile interreligious relations.

Addressing the Basic Infrastructure Gap in Strategic Areas of West NusaTenggara Province
This study examines the basic infrastructure gap in the Provincial Strategic Areas of West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, where investment-oriented spatial development has progressed faster than the provision of essential public services. The designation of eleven Provincial Strategic Areas under the 2024–2044 Regional Spatial Plan has strengthened development agendas in tourism, industry, agribusiness, and environmental conservation. However, communities around these areas still face unequal access to safe drinking water, proper sanitation, and accredited health facilities. Using a qualitative policy case study with a descriptive-prescriptive design, this research analyzed spatial planning documents, regional development plans, minimum service standard reports, sectoral documents, and stakeholder assessments. The analysis combined the Urgency, Seriousness, and Growth matrix, Fishbone root-cause analysis, and policy-option assessment. The findings show that access to safe drinking water reached 58%, proper sanitation 42%, and accredited health facilities only 31%, indicating a substantial mismatch between strategic-area development and basic service fulfillment. The USG analysis identified the basic utility infrastructure crisis as the highest-priority problem. Root-cause analysis further shows that the gap is shaped by regulatory weakness, institutional fragmentation, fiscal limitation, and spatial-ecological pressure. This study contributes to sustainable infrastructure and regional governance debates by positioning basic infrastructure as the key mechanism through which strategic-area development either reduces or reproduces regional disparities. The study recommends strategic-area-specific Minimum Service Standards, a functional Regional Governance Board, and a Sustainable Infrastructure Fund to align investment growth with equitable, coordinated, and resilient service delivery

Enhancing Financial Resilience through Green Innovation: The Mediating Effect of Operational Efficiency in Indonesian Energy Companies
Financial resilience has become increasingly important for energy companies facing economic uncertainty, transition risks, and growing sustainability pressures. Although green innovation is widely recognized as a strategic capability for improving environmental and business outcomes, its direct contribution to financial resilience remains unclear, particularly in emerging-market energy sectors. This study examines the effect of green innovation on financial resilience and investigates the mediating role of operational efficiency in energy companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021–2025 period. Using a quantitative explanatory design, this study analyzes balanced panel data from 20 energy companies, resulting in 100 firm-year observations. Financial resilience is proxied by cash holding, green innovation is measured using the Green Innovation Disclosure Index, and operational efficiency is proxied by asset turnover. Panel data regression is employed to test the direct effects, while the Sobel test is used to examine the mediation effect. The results show that green innovation does not directly affect financial resilience. However, green innovation has a positive and significant effect on operational efficiency, and operational efficiency positively affects financial resilience. The mediation test confirms that operational efficiency fully mediates the relationship between green innovation and financial resilience. These findings indicate that green innovation cannot be treated merely as environmental disclosure; it becomes financially meaningful only when transformed into an operational capability that improves asset utilization and efficiency. This study extends the Resource-Based View by showing that sustainability-oriented capabilities require an internal conversion mechanism before generating resilience outcomes. Practically, the findings suggest that energy companies should align green innovation initiatives with operational efficiency improvements to strengthen financial stability and long-term sustainability.

Contextualizing of Technology Issues in Anthropology Learning: Efforts to Strengthen Social Concern in The Digital Era
Anthropology learning in higher education is often constrained by theoretical instruction and limited contextual engagement, reducing students’ opportunities to connect anthropological concepts with contemporary social realities. This study aimed to develop and assess the feasibility of a Science, Technology, and Society (STS)-based Anthropology learning model to strengthen students’ social concern in Islamic higher education. Using a Research and Development design with an evaluative orientation, the study was conducted through three stages: needs analysis, model development, and expert validation. Data were collected through classroom observation, Semester Learning Plan analysis, structured interviews, social concern questionnaires, documentation, and expert validation sheets. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were examined through thematic analysis. The findings show that Anthropology learning requires a more contextual, participatory, and reflective structure that enables students to identify technology-related social issues, analyze them through anthropological concepts, and reflect on their ethical and social implications. The developed model consists of issue identification, concept formation, field application, social concern development, reporting of findings, and assessment. Its supporting products include a model book, lecturer guidebook, and student guidebook. The novelty of this study lies in extending the STS approach into Anthropology learning by positioning technology issues as social and cultural phenomena rather than merely technical matters. The model offers a structured pedagogical framework for linking conceptual understanding, field observation, ethical reflection, and social responsibility. Further classroom-based testing is recommended to examine its effectiveness in improving students’ social concern across broader higher education contexts.

Digital-Based Educational Information Management in Enhancing Student Interest: Scrutinizing the Mediating Role of Madrasah
Digital transformation has increasingly reshaped how Islamic educational institutions manage information, communicate institutional value, and attract prospective students. However, limited empirical evidence explains whether institutional image still mediates the relationship between digital-based educational information management and student interest, particularly in Islamic secondary education. This study examines the direct effect of Digital-Based Educational Information Management (DBEIM) on Student Interest and tests the mediating role of Madrasah Image among State Islamic Senior High Schools in Banten Province, Indonesia. A quantitative explanatory survey design was employed, involving 535 student respondents selected through proportional stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The measurement model confirmed adequate reliability and validity, with indicator loadings ranging from 0.720 to 0.915, Cronbach’s Alpha values between 0.935 and 0.961, Composite Reliability values between 0.949 and 0.973, and AVE values between 0.715 and 0.818. The structural model showed that DBEIM had a strong positive effect on Student Interest (β = 0.711, t = 18.245, p = 0.000) and significantly improved Madrasah Image (β = 0.654, t = 14.321, p = 0.000). However, Madrasah Image did not significantly affect Student Interest (β = -0.040, t = 0.632, p = 0.528) and did not mediate the DBEIM–Student Interest relationship (β = -0.022, t = 0.624, p = 0.533). These findings challenge the assumption that institutional image consistently functions as a mediating mechanism and suggest that, among digital-oriented madrasah students, interest is shaped more directly by digital utility, information accessibility, and service responsiveness than by general institutional image

Islamic Education and The Society Era 5.0 (Opportunities and Challenges for Islamic Education Institutions)
This study examines how Islamic education institutions respond to the socio-educational transformation of the Society 5.0 era, marked by the growing use of artificial intelligence, digital platforms, learning management systems, and online religious resources. While these technologies expand access to learning and support pedagogical innovation, they also raise concerns about digital literacy gaps, source validity, academic integrity, spiritual depth, and ethical governance. Using a qualitative interpretive case study design, this study explores the opportunities and challenges of Society 5.0 in Islamic education institutions. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, limited observation, and document analysis involving institutional leaders, Islamic Religious Education teachers, students, administrative staff, and technology or curriculum managers. The data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. The findings identify four interconnected themes: digital learning expansion as pedagogical transformation, negotiation between technological convenience and spiritual formation, institutional readiness as the foundation of digital transformation, and digital adab as an ethical framework for human-centered AI. These themes show that Society 5.0 does not merely change learning tools, but reshapes teacher-student relations, knowledge authority, curriculum adaptation, institutional governance, and the ethical meaning of digital practice. The study contributes by proposing human-centered Islamic digital education as a conceptual perspective that places technology within the framework of Islamic values, academic honesty, moral responsibility, spirituality, and public benefit. Practically, the study recommends strengthening AI ethics guidelines, teacher digital competence, student critical literacy, equitable access, and value-based institutional governance to ensure that digital transformation supports both educational innovation and spiritual formation in contemporary Islamic education contexts.

Spider-Web of Civilization: The Integrative–Interconnective Paradigm of Islamic Education in the Thought of Muhammad Amin Abdullah
Contemporary Islamic education faces a persistent epistemological challenge caused by the dichotomy between religious sciences and modern sciences. This separation limits its capacity to respond to complex civilizational issues that require textual understanding, empirical inquiry, social analysis, and philosophical reflection. This study aims to analyze M. Amin Abdullah’s integrative-interconnective paradigm by positioning the spider web metaphor as a conceptual framework for reconstructing Islamic education and strengthening its contribution to contemporary Islamic civilization. Using a qualitative library research design, this study examined Abdullah’s major work on integrative-interconnective Islamic studies as the primary corpus, supported by his other writings and relevant scholarly literature on Islamic education, epistemology, knowledge integration, and civilizational renewal. Data were collected through documentation and critical literature review, then analyzed using content analysis and conceptual analysis. The findings show that the integrative-interconnective paradigm reframes the dichotomy of knowledge as an epistemological problem rather than merely a curricular issue. The spider web metaphor presents knowledge as a relational network in which religious sciences, social sciences, humanities, natural sciences, and philosophy interact dialogically. The study further identifies hadārat al-nass, hadārat al-‘ilm, and hadārat al-falsafah as mutually corrective domains that integrate textual authority, empirical inquiry, and critical reflection. Through conceptual synthesis, this study extends Abdullah’s paradigm from an epistemological model into a civilizational framework for Islamic education. It concludes that the spider web paradigm provides a strong foundation for curriculum reconstruction, interdisciplinary learning, research culture, institutional transformation, and the formation of a knowledge-based Islamic civilization.

Media Framing, Corporate Logic and the Public Image of Pesantren in the Xpose Uncensored Trans7 Controversy
This study examines how pesantren, kiai, and santri were represented in the Xpose Uncensored Trans7 controversy aired on October 13, 2025, and how such representation was shaped by corporate media logic. Employing a critical qualitative case-study design, the research analyzed the pesantren-related broadcast segment using an integrated framework of content analysis, framing analysis, critical discourse analysis, and political economy of media. Primary data were drawn from the broadcast segment, while secondary data included media reports, public responses, institutional statements, regulatory materials, and relevant academic literature. The analysis focused on verbal narration, visual sequencing, diction, camera emphasis, dramatic effects, source positioning, contextual omission, and post-broadcast counter-framing. The findings show that the broadcast constructed pesantren through a selective frame that foregrounded controversy, hierarchy, and symbolic tension, while giving limited attention to the ethical, pedagogical, cultural, and spiritual meanings of pesantren traditions. Kiai–santri relations were intensified through audiovisual dramatization, whereas concepts such as adab, khidmah, barakah, sanad, and moral discipline received insufficient explanatory space. The study further reveals that the segment reflected attention-oriented corporate media logic, in which sensitive socio-religious issues were packaged as visually and emotionally engaging content. Public criticism, pesantren responses, and regulatory reactions subsequently transformed the broadcast into a wider socio-religious communication event. This study contributes to media framing, media representation, and media–religion scholarship by conceptualizing televised religious controversy as an interaction among textual construction, audiovisual meaning-making, commercial media logic, and public counter-framing within Indonesia’s hybrid media ecology. It also underscores contextual responsibility in representing religious educational institutions in broadcasting.

The Disparity Between Arbitration Award Number 01/LPS-PBJP/01/2024 and Kediri District Court Decision Number 56/Pdt.Sus-Arb/2024/PN Kdr on the Settlement of a Dispute over Green Open Space Land in the Kediri City Square
public procurement disputes because it directly affects legal certainty, contractual governance, and the finality of arbitration. This study aims to analyse and compare the legal reasoning adopted in Arbitration Award Number 01/LPS-PBJP/01/2024 and Kediri District Court Decision Number 56/Pdt.Sus-Arb/2024/PN Kdr concerning a dispute over the development of green open space land in Kediri City Square, with the objective of identifying the factors that produced divergent legal outcomes. The research employed a qualitative normative legal approach using both statute and case approaches. Primary legal materials consisted of relevant arbitration regulations and the two decisions under examination, while secondary materials included scholarly literature on arbitration, judicial review, and public procurement disputes. The findings reveal that both forums agreed that fault in contract management was shared by the contractor and the procuring authority. However, the arbitral tribunal annulled the contract termination and rejected the blacklist sanction, whereas the district court annulled the arbitral award after determining that the MC-50 progress recapitulation had not been adequately considered and that contractual changes should have been formally documented through a written addendum. The study concludes that the disparity between the two decisions originated not from conflicting factual findings but from differences in evidentiary assessment and contractual interpretation, highlighting the importance of evidentiary discipline and contractual documentation in preserving the practical finality of arbitration in Indonesian public procurement disputes.

The Influence of Inflation, Unemployment, and Human Development Index on Economic Growth in Indonesia from an Islamic Economic Perspective
Economic growth remains a key indicator of national development; however, its sustainability is closely influenced by macroeconomic stability and the quality of human resources. High inflation and unemployment can hinder economic performance, while improvements in the Human Development Index (HDI) may strengthen long-term growth capacity. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effects of inflation, unemployment, and HDI on Indonesia’s economic growth during the 1994–2023 period and to interpret the findings from an Islamic economic perspective. This research employs a quantitative approach using annual time-series data obtained from the World Bank and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Data were analyzed using the Error Correction Model (ECM) with EViews 12 to capture both short-run and long-run relationships among variables. The results indicate that inflation, unemployment, and HDI jointly explain 99.07% of the variation in economic growth in the long run. Partially, inflation and unemployment exert significant negative effects on economic growth, whereas HDI has a significant positive effect in both the short and long run. Furthermore, the error correction term (ECT = −0.318) confirms a stable adjustment mechanism, indicating that deviations from long-run equilibrium are corrected at a speed of 31.8% per year, with equilibrium restored within approximately three years. From an Islamic economic perspective, these findings support the objectives of maqashid al-shariah, particularly the protection of wealth (hifdz al-mal), life (hifdz al-nafs), and intellect (hifdz al-aql). The study concludes that sustainable economic growth requires not only output expansion but also price stability, employment creation, and continuous improvement in human development.

Internalization of Pancasila Values in a Hospitality Character Education as a Weltanschauung for Gen Z: A Tourism College Perspective
This study examines how Pancasila values are internalized in hospitality character education for Generation Z students at Politeknik Pariwisata NHI Bandung. The study responds to the need for tourism higher education to produce graduates who are not only technically competent, but also ethically responsible, culturally rooted, and globally prepared. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through non-participant observations, document analysis, and institutional data review focused on Catur Prasetya, AHLAK, GRADES, and the Global Code of Ethics for Tourism. The data were analyzed thematically by identifying, categorizing, and interpreting patterns related to value internalization, hospitality character, and professional identity formation. The findings show that Pancasila values are internalized through four complementary pathways. Catur Prasetya functions as a normative foundation that builds civic-professional responsibility, institutional loyalty, discipline, and national awareness. AHLAK translates moral values into professional orientations such as trustworthiness, hospitality, loyalty, adaptability, and collaboration. GRADES operates as a daily habituation mechanism that makes character visible through greeting, respect, attitude, discipline, empathy, and smile. The Global Code of Ethics for Tourism extends Pancasila-based character education toward global ethical concerns, including sustainability, cultural respect, community welfare, human dignity, workers’ rights, and stakeholder responsibility. This study contributes to character education and hospitality education by conceptualizing Pancasila as a professional weltanschauung for tourism higher education. The proposed framework connects national philosophy, institutional culture, behavioral habituation, and global tourism ethics in shaping Gen Z hospitality character. It offers practical guidance for strengthening value-based education in vocational tourism institutions.

Exploration of the Application of the Project Based Learning Approach Based on Banana Tree Media in Stimulating Creativity in Early Childhood
Creativity is a fundamental competency in early childhood education because it supports children's ability to generate ideas, solve problems, and express themselves through meaningful learning experiences. However, learning activities in many early childhood classrooms remain predominantly teacher-centered, limiting opportunities for children to explore, experiment, and develop original ideas. This study aimed to explore the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) utilizing banana tree media and its role in stimulating creativity among children aged 5–6 years. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed involving twelve children and one classroom teacher at TK Ceria Eduloka, Indonesia. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using the interactive model of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that project-based activities using banana leaves, stalks, and trunks encouraged children to actively participate in exploration, decision-making, material manipulation, and creative product development. Children demonstrated creativity through fluency in generating ideas, flexibility in using materials, originality in creating products, and elaboration in refining their work. The findings further indicate that banana tree media provide contextual, multisensory, and environmentally relevant learning experiences that enhance children's engagement and creative expression. This study contributes to the growing literature on project-based and nature-based learning by highlighting the educational potential of locally available natural resources in fostering creativity. Practically, the findings offer an accessible and cost-effective strategy for implementing meaningful learning experiences in early childhood education.

Exploring Character Education Values in the Ziarah Kubro Tradition as a Local Wisdom Heritage in Palembang
Globalization and digitalization have significantly impacted youth, influencing their moral, social, and cultural behaviors. Local traditions, however, remain a vital medium for transmitting values that foster character development. This study explores the character education values embedded in the Ziarah Kubro tradition, a cultural and religious practice in Palembang, Indonesia, and examines its relevance for contemporary youth. Using a qualitative descriptive design, five youth participants aged 18–25 were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, incorporating triangulation to ensure validity. Findings indicate that the tradition fosters religiosity, empathy, social respect, solidarity, cooperative behavior, and cultural identity among youth. Moreover, despite the prevalence of digital media, Ziarah Kubro remains relevant, bridging historical knowledge, spiritual growth, and social engagement. The study demonstrates that local cultural practices can effectively serve as a foundation for character education while adapting to contemporary digital contexts. These insights provide both theoretical contributions to the understanding of culturally grounded character education and practical guidance for educators and community leaders in preserving local heritage.

A Comparative Analysis Between Positive Law and Islamic Fiqh on the Phenomenon of Money Politics in ElectionsPublic in Aceh Singkil Regency
Money politics remains a significant challenge to electoral integrity in Aceh Singkil Regency, creating tension between democratic principles, positive legal norms, and the Islamic values embraced by the majority of the population. This study aims to comparatively analyze the perspectives of Indonesian positive law and Islamic jurisprudence on the phenomenon of money politics and to formulate an integrative framework for its eradication within the context of a region implementing Islamic law. This research employed a qualitative library research design with a comparative approach. Data were collected through documentary analysis of election laws and regulations, classical and contemporary fiqh literature, scholarly books, journal articles, and relevant research reports. The findings reveal that positive law defines money politics within a relatively narrow procedural and material framework, emphasizing formal legal elements, criminal sanctions, and strict evidentiary requirements. In contrast, Islamic jurisprudence conceptualizes money politics as risywah, encompassing all forms of benefits intended to influence political decisions, supported by broader moral, social, and spiritual sanctions as well as a more flexible evidentiary approach. The study further demonstrates that each legal system possesses distinct strengths and limitations in addressing electoral bribery. Consequently, an integrated model combining the legal certainty of positive law with the ethical and preventive values of Islamic jurisprudence is necessary. Such integration may be implemented through regulatory harmonization, religious-based political education, community participation, and local social control mechanisms. In conclusion, strengthening synergy between state legal institutions and Islamic moral values offers a more comprehensive strategy for preventing and combating money politics, thereby promoting cleaner, fairer, and more accountable elections in Aceh Singkil Regency.

Dynamics of Women's Leadership Thought from the Perspective of Amina Wadud and Zainab Al-Ghazali
This study investigates the dynamics of women’s leadership thought in Islam by examining the perspectives of Amina Wadud and Zainab al-Ghazali. The background of this research arises from ongoing debates regarding the legitimacy of women’s leadership, which are shaped not only by interpretations of religious texts but also by differences in epistemological approaches. The study aims to analyze how these distinct frameworks influence the conceptualization of leadership for women in Islamic contexts. A qualitative approach was employed, using library research and a descriptive-comparative method to examine primary sources from both figures, supplemented by supporting literature in gender studies and contemporary Islamic scholarship. The findings indicate that Amina Wadud adopts a contextual hermeneutic approach, emphasizing justice, equality, and social relevance, thereby broadening opportunities for women’s leadership. In contrast, Zainab al-Ghazali employs a normative-textual approach that reflects classical traditions and imposes certain limitations on women’s roles in leadership. These differences demonstrate that epistemological frameworks significantly shape interpretations of women’s leadership in Islam. Despite these divergences, both scholars recognize the importance of women’s participation in the public sphere. The study concludes that a dialogical and integrative approach, combining contextual and normative perspectives, offers a viable pathway for formulating a concept of women’s leadership that is both adaptive and relevant to the needs of contemporary Muslim society.

The Concept of Muhasabah in the Thought of Imam Al-Ghazali and its Relevance to the Moral Development of Generation Z in the Society 5.0 Era
The era of Society 5.0, integrating cyberspace and physical space, has created a paradox for Generation Z, wherein heightened digital connectivity coincides with increased vulnerability to moral degradation and identity crises. This study aims to examine the concept of muhasabah in the thought of Imam Al-Ghazali and assess its relevance for moral development among Generation Z. Employing library research, the study analyzed primary sources, including Ihya' 'Ulumuddin and other works of Al-Ghazali, alongside secondary literature comprising books and journal articles. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis with a hermeneutic approach to connect Al-Ghazali’s classical insights with contemporary contexts. The results reveal that muhasabah constitutes a holistic spiritual discipline structured through the quartet system of musyaratah, muraqabah, muhasabah, and mu’aqabah, encompassing both evaluation of external actions and internal thought trajectories. Generation Z faces multidimensional moral challenges that create a significant gap between digital literacy and moral resilience. Al-Ghazali’s muhasabah is identified as a counter-hegemonic spiritual technology, functioning as a framework for self-management, mental filtering, cognitive-spiritual therapy, and self-liberation from algorithmic influence. Implementing muhasabah in character education requires transforming the curriculum toward introspective training, developing digital mindfulness modules, and establishing a collective reflective ecosystem involving educators, families, and communities. These findings are operationalized in the “Schools and Families with Muhasabah” program, combining reflective practices at school and home supported by the My Spiritual Tracker application. Collectively, this study demonstrates that muhasabah can enhance ethical awareness, resilience, and reflective capacity, equipping Generation Z to navigate the moral complexities of the Society 5.0 era.

Charismatic Female Leadership and Succession in Pesantren A Sociological Feminist Perspective
The increasing involvement of women in Islamic educational leadership has challenged the long-standing assumption that religious authority within pesantren is predominantly male. However, limited attention has been given to how female leadership is sustained and transferred across generations within Islamic boarding schools. This study aims to examine the construction of female religious authority and the process of leadership succession at Pondok Pesantren Zumrotuththolibin through a sociological feminist perspective. A qualitative case study design was employed, involving in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. Fifteen participants, including the nyai, prospective successors, administrators, teachers, students, and community members, were selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis supported by triangulation and member-checking procedures to ensure credibility. The findings reveal that female leadership legitimacy is established through a combination of religious competence, moral authority, managerial capability, and community trust. The study further demonstrates that leadership succession is intentionally institutionalized through religious education, family mentorship, gradual delegation of responsibilities, and active involvement of future female leaders in pesantren management and community engagement. The regeneration of authority among the nyai’s daughters illustrates how female leadership can be reproduced beyond individual charisma and transformed into a sustainable institutional structure. From a sociological feminist perspective, these findings challenge patriarchal assumptions regarding religious leadership while demonstrating the compatibility of female authority with Islamic educational traditions. This study contributes to the literature on gender, religious leadership, and succession in Islamic educational institutions by providing empirical evidence of how female authority is constructed, legitimized, and sustained within contemporary Indonesian pesantren.

Strategies of Female-Headed Households in Managing Roles and Resources: Analysis of Family Socio-Economic Resilience in Garut Regency, West Java
Female-headed households often face layered socio-economic vulnerabilities, yet their everyday strategies for sustaining family resilience remain insufficiently examined. This study explores the role and resource management strategies of female-headed households who are members of PEKKA in Garut Regency, West Java, Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected from five primary informants and seventeen supporting participants through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, field observations, and documentation from March to August 2025. The data were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis, supported by source triangulation, member checking, reflexive discussion, and audit trail procedures. The findings show that women became household heads through diverse pathways, including widowhood, divorce, husband’s migration, illness, old age, and limited financial support. In response, PEKKA members developed interconnected strategies: diversifying livelihoods through informal work, mobilizing family labor, negotiating domestic and caregiving responsibilities, utilizing social networks, and transforming limited household assets into productive resources. The study further reveals that socio-economic resilience was not built solely through income generation, but through resource bricolage, psychosocial endurance, collective support, and women’s capacity to reorganize household roles under constraint. The main contribution of this study lies in conceptualizing the hidden power of PEKKA as everyday resilience, expressed through power within, power with, and power to. These findings suggest that empowerment programs for female-headed households should move beyond temporary assistance by strengthening livelihood access, childcare support, skills development, social protection, local facilitation, and community-based solidarity.

The Response of Dayah Residents to Hydrometeorological Disasters: An Exploratory Study from the Perspective of Islamic Ecotheology in Pidie Jaya Regency Aceh Province
hydrometeorological disasters, including floods, flash floods, strong winds, and extreme rainfall. Within the socio-religious context of Acehnese society, dayah (Islamic boarding schools) play a strategic role not only as centers of Islamic education but also as institutions that foster social values, spiritual resilience, and environmental awareness. This study aims to examine the responses of dayah communities to hydrometeorological disasters and to analyze the role of dayah in disaster management from the perspective of Islamic ecotheology. A qualitative approach with an exploratory case study design was employed in three dayahs located in Meurah Dua District, Pidie Jaya Regency. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis and were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that dayah communities respond to disasters through pre-disaster preparedness, emergency response, and post-disaster recovery activities grounded in spiritual values, social solidarity, and local wisdom. Islamic ecotheological principles, particularly khalifah (stewardship), amanah (trust), and mizan (balance), serve as the foundation for environmental awareness, disaster preparedness, and community resilience. Dayahs also function as centers for disaster education, psychosocial support, humanitarian assistance, and the dissemination of environmental conservation values. However, limited mitigation infrastructure, inadequate technical disaster management capacity, and weak coordination with external institutions remain significant challenges. The study concludes that integrating Islamic ecotheology, local wisdom, and modern disaster science can strengthen community-based resilience and contribute to sustainable hydrometeorological disaster management.
