This study aims to analyze the management of the flagship tahfidz al-Qur’an program in strengthening Qur’anic literacy at MI Taufiqiyah Semarang. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design, utilizing interviews, observations, and documentation as data collection techniques. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which consists of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that the strengthening of Qur’anic literacy is not solely determined by the tahfidz instructional method, but rather by the consistent implementation of management functions, including needs-based planning, competency-based organizing, gradual instructional implementation, and tiered as well as continuous evaluation. This managerial system contributes to improving students’ Qur’anic literacy quality, particularly in terms of reading fluency, accuracy of makhraj (articulation points), and the habituation of muroja’ah (systematic review). Theoretically, this study contributes by proposing an empirical model of tahfidz program management grounded in Qur’anic literacy at the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah level, thereby extending the discourse of Islamic educational management from a predominantly administrative orientation toward strengthening religious literacy outcomes.

This study is designed to examine how Public Relations management is implemented in improving the institutional image and strengthening the relationship between schools and their stakeholders at MTs Ar-Rois Cendekia Semarang. In the context of contemporary education, Public Relations serves as a strategic bridge that connects educational institutions with the community through communication, publications, and collaborative efforts that foster public trust. At MTs Ar-Rois Cendekia, PR management is based on Islamic values, with a strong emphasis on ethical communication, information transparency, and service practices that reflect the character of the religion. This research uses a qualitative approach, collecting data through direct observation and structured interviews involving madrasah leaders, public relations personnel, teachers, and school committee members. The results of the study show that the PR strategies implemented include personal branding initiatives, the use of digital media platforms, and collaborative programs with stakeholders such as local authorities and the surrounding community. Islamic principles serve as the ethical foundation for all Public Relations activities. Although there are still challenges, including limitations in the management of human resources and digital media, Public Relations at MTs Ar-Rois Cendekia continues to carry out its functions effectively in strengthening a positive image and fostering harmonious relationships between schools and communities. This research also speculates on the contribution to the development of Islamic educational management studies by enriching the conceptual framework of educational PR management that integrates with Islamic values in institutional practice.

Standpoint epistemology, as articulated by Sandra Harding, challenges the claim of neutrality in modern science by situating knowledge within social relations of power. This framework emphasizes the epistemic significance of marginalized social positions as critical sites for revealing structural bias in knowledge production. Despite its extensive discussion within secular feminist theory and philosophy of science, standpoint epistemology has rarely been examined through Islamic epistemological frameworks. This study aims to critically examine Sandra Harding’s standpoint epistemology through the perspective of Islamic epistemology grounded in the principle of tawhid (divine unity). The research employs qualitative conceptual analysis using philosophical-critical methods, examining Harding’s major works in dialogue with the epistemological thought of Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas to assess their underlying assumptions, limitations, and epistemic implications. This article makes a conceptual contribution by proposing a tawhid-based reformulation of knowledge that offers a theologically grounded alternative to relativistic epistemic frameworks while retaining the ethical and critical insights of feminist standpoint epistemology.

The phenomenon of clickbait news dissemination in online media has become a serious concern due to its potential influence on readers’ mindsets and behavior, particularly within Muslim communities. This study aims to analyze the impact of clickbait news on readers of PALTV.disway.id in Palembang City from the perspective of Islamic communication. The research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, utilizing observation, in-depth interviews with active readers, journalists, and religious figures, as well as documentation analysis. The findings indicate that clickbait news frequently leads to information misunderstanding and a decline in the quality of readers’ Islamic understanding, especially when headlines are not aligned with the content. From the perspective of Islamic communication, such practices contradict the principles of ṣidq (truthfulness), tablīgh (transparency), and amānah (trustworthiness) in information dissemination. Another finding reveals an increased level of skepticism toward media outlets that present Islamic issues, driven by the frequent use of provocative headlines unsupported by adequate content. This study highlights the urgency of integrity in Islamic journalism and the importance of media literacy within society. The integration of digital media analysis with Islamic communication principles constitutes the originality of this research. The results are expected to provide practical contributions for media practitioners, government institutions, and da‘wah organizations in formulating more ethical communication strategies, as well as academic contributions to the development of Islamic communication studies in the digital era.

This research investigates the relationship between Sharia financial literacy, access to Islamic financing, and the sustainability of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in East Kalimantan, Indonesia—a strategically important region experiencing accelerated development as the site of the country’s new capital. Adopting a mixed-methods design, the study integrates quantitative data from a survey of 300 MSMEs analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with qualitative evidence obtained through in-depth interviews with MSME actors, Islamic bankers, and regulators. The quantitative results indicate that the constructs of Access to Capital and MSME Resilience exhibit strong reliability and validity, while the Financial Literacy construct requires further refinement, highlighting that general financial knowledge does not necessarily translate into competence in Sharia-compliant financial products. Qualitative findings further identify a communication gap between MSME owners’ demand for accessible and practical financial guidance and the complexity of offerings provided by financial institutions. The study concludes that strengthening MSME sustainability necessitates policy interventions that address these gaps through targeted Sharia financial education and inclusive Islamic financing schemes. This research contributes a validated holistic framework and provides practical policy recommendations for the development of contextualized Islamic financial literacy programs and digital inclusion strategies to reinforce Indonesia’s Sharia-based MSME ecosystem.

This article explores the Sufi philosophy of Abu Hamid al-Ghazali as articulated in al-Munqidz min al-Dhalal. It examines the continuing relevance of al-Ghazali's Sufi thought to contemporary Islamic spirituality, with particular emphasis on education and the promotion of religious moderation. Employing a qualitative library-based research method, the study analyzes classical and modern primary and secondary sources. The findings reveal that spiritual purification (tazkiyat al-nafs) and the harmonization of intellect and inner conscience constitute fundamental pathways toward ma'rifatullah. Al-Ghazali's ideas remain significant for cultivating an Islamic spirituality that is rational, moderate, and ethically grounded. These insights advance Islamic studies and educational practice, especially in the design of a holistic educational framework capable of responding to modern spiritual challenges.

Marriage registration in Indonesia continues to be perceived merely as an administrative formality rather than a binding legal duty, leading many couples to neglect it. This condition results in an imbalance that weakens legal protection for women and children, particularly in cases of serial or unregistered marriages. This study examines the urgency of marriage registration from the perspectives of Islamic law and national law, and its implications for protecting family rights. Employing a qualitative methodology with normative and sociological legal approaches, this research also incorporates policy analysis of marriage registration practices in several Islamic countries. The findings demonstrate that marriage registration plays a strategic role in ensuring legal certainty, safeguarding the rights of women and children, and maintaining social order. From the perspective of the maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, marriage registration serves as a crucial instrument for protecting lineage (ḥifẓ al-nasl) and preventing injustice within the family. Accordingly, this study underscores the urgent need to reform the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) and strengthen public legal education to raise awareness of the importance of marriage registration. These findings affirm that marriage registration should be recognized as a binding legal obligation that extends beyond administrative purposes and constitutes a fundamental element of family law protection in Indonesia.

This study examines and compares the practice of multiculturalism in Indonesia and Malaysia by situating it within their respective historical trajectories, policy frameworks, and implementation patterns in social and educational contexts. The research employs a qualitative library research design, drawing on relevant scholarly literature in the social sciences, religious studies, and the humanities. Data were analyzed using content analysis and a comparative approach, involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The findings indicate that multicultural practices in Indonesia and Malaysia exhibit both similarities and differences shaped by each country's historical, cultural, and political contexts. In Indonesia, multiculturalism is grounded in the national motto Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, whereas in Malaysia it is articulated through the principle of unity embodied in the Rukun Negara. At the policy level, Indonesia constitutionally recognizes diversity through inclusive measures, such as the public recognition of religious holidays and support for the preservation of local cultures. In contrast, Malaysia adopts a National Cultural Policy, which some groups have criticized for its limited sensitivity to cultural diversity. Linguistically, Indonesian functions as a unifying national language across diverse ethnic groups, while Malaysia recognizes Malay, English, and Chinese as official languages, reflecting its multicultural composition and educational arrangements. In terms of religion, Indonesia formally acknowledges and protects multiple religions and the rights of religious minorities. In contrast, Malaysia grants Islam a privileged position as the state's official religion.
