This study investigates the implications of the ‘flexing’ phenomenon, characterized by the ostentatious display of wealth and material possessions on social media, on the religious and social life of Indonesian Muslim millennials. Employing a qualitative research methodology, the study analyzes data collected through social media observation and interviews with millennial Muslims. Findings reveal that ‘flexing’ can have detrimental effects on religious life, including fostering excessive materialism, eroding integrity and honesty, and hindering the fulfillment of Islamic obligations such as Zakat and charitable giving. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that "flexing" contributes to social issues such as excessive consumerism, social inequality, a decline in empathy and concern for others, and potential mental health issues arising from social comparison and insecurity. The study concludes that while ‘flexing’ may be perceived differently by individuals, its potential negative impacts on religious values and social cohesion warrant critical consideration.

This study investigates the Moneylender Free Village (MFV) program within the Cikuasa community, Cilegon City, Indonesia, examining its role in fostering Islamic economic principles and social piety. Through qualitative descriptive research involving interviews with 20 purposively selected respondents, this study explores the negative impacts of loan shark practices on the community, the formation and implementation of the MFV program with the guidance of NGOs and Islamic banking, and the subsequent empowerment of social piety among community members. Findings reveal that the MFV program effectively mitigates the detrimental effects of loan sharks, fostering economic stability and social well-being. Furthermore, the study demonstrates how the program contributes to the enhancement of social piety through increased awareness of Allah's supervision, the cultivation of ihsan (excellence in worship and conduct), and the promotion of beneficial social interactions within the community.

The 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being, emphasize the importance of healthy living and well-being for all. This study explores the Islamic concept of Syumuliyah – the holistic and comprehensive nature of Islamic teachings – as a potential framework for achieving this critical SDG. Through a qualitative library research approach, this study examines how Islamic principles, including those related to health, hygiene, and spiritual well-being, can contribute to the realization of SDG 3. Findings indicate that Islamic teachings offer a comprehensive approach to health, encompassing physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions. Key elements include the importance of cleanliness, proper nutrition, physical activity, and spiritual practices such as prayer and reflection. Notably, medical education can be traced back to the verses of the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), emphasizing the importance of preventive healthcare and holistic well-being. By embracing the Syumuliyah of Islam, individuals and communities can cultivate healthier lifestyles and contribute to the overall well-being of society, thereby advancing the objectives of SDG 3.

This study investigates the comparative levels of Riba literacy among male and female residents of Sebukar Village.

This study examines how neuroscience can enrich our understanding of religious moderation, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Focusing on Muhammadiyah's fatwas, this research aims to understand how a neuro-religious approach can support the implementation of moderation principles in religious practices. Through a qualitative analysis of relevant literature, this study finds that Muhammadiyah's fatwas during the pandemic emphasized the importance of balance between faith and reason in addressing public health challenges. Neuroscience provides a scientific foundation for understanding how the human brain processes religious information and how moderation can be promoted through cognitive mechanisms. The results show that Muhammadiyah's fatwas not only provide practical guidance for worship during the pandemic but also encourage the development of a moderate attitude rooted in a deeper understanding of Islamic teachings. This study concludes that the integration of neuroscience and Islamic studies can contribute to the development of a more comprehensive framework for promoting religious moderation in the future.

This study highlights the importance of digital religious literacy for the public to be able to critically evaluate information circulating on social media and choose credible religious references.

Aceh dikenal sebagai daerah yang menerapkan syariat Islam secara ketat, namun demikian masyarakatnya tidak begitu saja menolak kehadiran fashion Islam populer. Penelitian ini berupaya mengkaji tentang negosiasi dan kontestasi Muslimah Aceh dalam menggunakan fashion Islam populer. Penelitian ini merupakan studi kualitatif dengan pendekatan naratif. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa Muslimah Aceh menggunakan fashion Islam populer dengan beragam pemaknaan yang kompleks. Selain itu, penerapan syariat Islam di Aceh, khususnya terkait aturan penggunaan busana Islam, tidak secara utuh diterima oleh Muslimah di Aceh. Sebagian mereka menegosiasikan, mengapropriasi dan mengkontestasikan penerapan aturan berbusana Islam dengan praktik penegakan syariat Islam itu sendiri. Meskipun demikian, konsumsi fashion Islam populer di kalangan Muslimah Aceh membawa identitas mereka menjadi hibrid, yaitu menjadi Muslimah sejati sekaligus modern. Identitas hibrid ini terbentuk karena dua hal yaitu dominasi kebijakan syariat Islam di Aceh dan tren industri fashion Muslim populer di Indonesia.
