Result: Through an examination of Islamic banks in Indonesia, it was observed that some characteristics of the Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) of these banks, including their level of knowledge, the size of the board, and the frequency of their meetings, had the potential to mitigate Financial Statement Fraud (FSF). In addition, the composition of the audit committee and the perceived credibility of the external auditors can also contribute to the effective management of financial statement fraud. This study does not identify any significant impact of the board of commissioners' structure on the financial stability of the firm (FSF). One additional discovery pertains to the three SSB traits examined in this study, with the most significant impact on regulating FSF being the specialised knowledge and proficiency in accounting, finance, or economics possessed by each SSB. Conclusion: It is recommended that each Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) be equipped with professionals in relevant disciplines, in addition to their experience in Islamic jurisprudence.

“And I Believe in Signs”: Soviet Secularity and Islamic Tradition in Kyrgyzstan

AbstractIn Central Asia, the Soviet state had destroyed most Islamic institutions by the late 1930s, which gradually alienated millions of Soviet Muslims from the basics of Islamic theology and key Islamic practices of virtue cultivation, including the five daily prayers (namaz), Islamic ethics of dressing (like covering certain parts of the body), and certain lifestyle prescriptions (such as the avoidance of alcohol, gambling, and premarital sex). As a result, mainstream Islam in Central Asia came to revolve around the main Islamic life-cycle rites (i.e., male circumcision, the marriage ceremony, and funeral prayer) and occasional practices of uttering blessings, reciting short Qur’anic verses for the souls of the deceased, and visiting shrines, among others. Although more than thirty years have passed since the fall of the USSR, this non-observant form of Islam remains widespread in the region. Inquiring into the conceptual and affective aspects of Soviet forced secularization in Central Asia, I make two interrelated interventions into secularism studies and the anthropology of Islam. First, I theorize Soviet secularism through attending to the modern state’s aspiration to transcend and transform the particularities of lived traditions, which reveals significant overlaps between communist and liberal modes of statecraft and subject formation. Second, reflecting on a non-observant form of Islam in contemporary Kyrgyzstan, I ask: what remains of a tradition of virtue ethics when its modes of abstract reasoning and virtue cultivation have all but vanished?

EFL Teachers’ Perceived Efficacy of Digital Platforms in Varied Online English Classes in a Higher Education

As the Covid-19 pandemic progressed, such measures disrupted schools and universities. Leaders of educational institutions identified online learning as the best option for students and teachers to continue their education when they were unable to attend school. Although EFL students' and teachers’ attitudes toward online learning were much discussed in the context of higher education, little evidence addresses how EFL teachers practice digital platforms in various EFL programs. This study aimed to investigate numerous digital platforms utilized by EFL teachers for online learning and the purposes in using those platforms. It also tried to find out the most frequently used platforms during the pandemic. Using a qualitative approach, this study involved ten EFL teachers from the English Education Program and non-English Education Programs (General English and ESP) of all faculties in a state Islamic institute in Indonesia. Through a closed and open questionnaire, this study found that all EFL teachers combined multiple digital platforms (the college’s e-learning platform developed from Moodle, WhatsApp group, YouTube, Google Form, Google Meet, Zoom meeting, Google Drive, Socrative, and Quizziz) for various purposes in online classroom activities. In addition, college’s e-learning platform developed from Moodle, WhatsApp group, and YouTube were found to be the most frequently used due to the benefits for online learning. In light of these findings, a discussion of the research implications for institutions of higher education and potential future researchers is presented.

The research method used a library research approach with data analysis techniques including data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results show that Islamic education has been implemented since the independence era, albeit influenced by the Dutch at that time. After the era of independence and reformation, the changes in curriculum resulted in the government giving special attention to Islamic Religious Education (called as PAI), which was demonstrated by the establishment of Islamic institutions called “madrasa” and Islamic universities. Indonesia’s experience in various curriculum models is a strength in exploring the potential of Islamic education to adapt to the discourse of global education. Moreover, Islamic education in Indonesia has the opportunity to become a world leader. To achieve this, efforts are needed to strengthen the Islamic education system and its curriculum, expand access to information and communication technology, improve the quality of teachers and researchers through increasing academic qualifications, and build international cooperation with other countries in the form of curriculum development and scholarships for foreign students who want to study PAI.

An Application of Photovoltaic Appropriate Technology as Garden Lighting at Tourist Area of Gangga Murmas Tree House North Lombok District

Park lighting in the Gangga Murmas Tree House Tourism Area, which is more precisely Gangga Hamlet, Genggelang Village, Gangga District, North Lombok Regency, is not sufficient. Without park lighting, tourist locations will resemble a dead zone at night and experience a decline in visitors. Therefore, the Community Service Team of the Madura State Islamic Institute through the 3T area community empowerment service provides a solution to illuminating the Gangga Murmas Tree House Tourism Area by utilizing new renewable energy Photovoltaic monocrystalline type to provide lighting at night. The installation of landscape lighting using polycrystalline technology is determined by the outcomes of location surveys and observations. The implementation carried out in the Gangga Murmas Tree House Tourism Area was carried out in several stages, namely: observation, preparation of garden light design, training and maintenance, performance testing, and tool evaluation. After the project was finished in two months, a solar power plant with a 2800Wh capacity that can power 40 lamps with a combined 120Watt capacity was created. The placement of garden lights to improve the tourism sector also received a positive response from the community and the manager of the Gangga Murmas Tree House Tourism Area.
