Dissecting the Idea of Ethics Education in the Book of Akhlaqul Banin: A Reflective-Critical Study
This study aims to examine and understand the concept of ethics and moral education in the book of Akhlaqul Banin by Shaykh Umar bin Ahmad Baraja. This book is known as a guide that presents moral values that must be applied in everyday life, especially for children. In this research, a critical study approach was used by the researcher to explore the thoughts of Shaykh Umar bin Ahmad Baraja with ethical education, as well as the relevance of moral teachings in the book to the context of moral education today. The conclusion of the research shows that the book of Akhlaqul Banin strongly emphasises the importance of instilling moral and ethical values from an early age. The ethical education taught in this book focuses on the formation of good character through religious teachings, with the aim of producing individuals who have noble character, politeness, and social responsibility. Although the book was written in a traditional context, the thoughts of Shaykh Umar bin Ahmad Baraja are still relevant to be applied in modern education today, especially in responding to the moral challenges faced by today's young generation. This research also raises the concepts contained in the book of Akhlaqul Banin, which will then be used as guidelines in the development of moral education curriculum at all levels of education, from primary to secondary levels. By looking for the value of education in this book, it is hoped that the author will be able to find a concise way to form a generation that is not only intelligent, but also noble and responsible in facing the increasingly complex challenges of the world in the future.

Study of Science Visualization in Islamic Education: Study of Hadith on Picture Media
This article discusses the visualization of knowledge in Islamic education, focusing on the use of visual media as a teaching aid. Historically, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) employed visual methods, such as drawing on the ground, to explain essential concepts to his companions. However, the use of images especially those depicting living beings remains controversial in Islam due to various hadiths that prohibit such practices. This study uses a qualitative approach based on literature review to examine relevant hadiths and the perspectives of both classical and contemporary scholars regarding the use of visual media in education. The findings indicate that although there are strict prohibitions on creating images of living beings, their use in educational contexts with good intentions and for instructional purposes is acceptable, provided it does not violate Islamic principles. Knowledge visualization through infographics, diagrams, and educational videos has proven effective in enhancing students’ understanding of Islamic teachings, especially in delivering abstract concepts and historical narratives. Therefore, the integration of visual media in Islamic education should be carried out wisely and selectively to support effective learning while upholding Islamic values.

Determinants of Islamic Social Reporting in Indonesian Islamic Commercial Banks
The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of firm size, firm age, board of commissioners size, and leverage on the level of disclosure of Islamic Social Reporting (ISR) at Islamic Commercial Banks in Indonesia in the period 2018-2023. The method applied in this research is a quantitative approach with panel data regression analysis, which adopts a regression model known as the Random Effect Model (REM). Sampling through purposive sampling, with the criteria that Islamic Commercial Banks are consistently registered with the OJK from 2018-2023 and banks that provide complete annual reports during that period, and obtained the results of 10 banks with a total of 60 data observations. The data used is taken from the annual reports published on the official website of each bank for 2018-2023. The analysis shows that firm size and board of commissioners size have a positive influence on ISR disclosure. In contrast, firm age has a negative influence, while leverage does not show a significant influence on ISR. The limitations of this study are that it only focuses on several factors that influence the disclosure of Islamic Social Reporting. Future research can consider other factors to obtain comprehensive results.

Employee Engagement as a Predictor of Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) in a CV in East Java
This study is motivated by the low level of Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB), despite a relatively high level of employee engagement, as indicated by employees' responsibility for their work and efforts to seek innovative ideas. The study also aims to examine whether employee engagement can serve as a predictor of Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) among employees in a service company. A quantitative approach was used, employing a survey research design involving 32 randomly selected employees. Data collection was conducted using a modified work engagement scale and an OCB scale. The statistical analysis results indicate that employee engagement does not have a significant simultaneous effect on OCB (p=0.059; R²=23%). Partial tests also show that the dimensions of cognitive engagement, emotional engagement, and behavioral engagement are not significantly related to OCB. In conclusion, employee engagement is not a significant predictor of OCB. The study's findings suggest that employee engagement does not have a simultaneous effect on OCB.

The Family System in the Social and Cultural Structure of Islamic Society in Indonesia
Kinship or family systems include marriage and descent relationships, where a person is considered a relative if they are related by blood, such as siblings. Kinship systems shape the social structure of society and depend heavily on it. This research aims to understand and analyze the function of the kinship system in shaping and influencing the social and cultural structure of Indonesian society. The study will also identify the problems faced and provide suggestions for the development and reconstruction of the kinship system to ensure fair justice. This research uses library research with a sociological approach. This study concluded that the kinship system plays an important role in the formation and influence of social and cultural dynamics among Indonesian Islamic societies. This study shows that kinship systems, especially those based on Islamic values, strengthen family relationships and preserve cultural values passed down from generation to generation. Nonetheless, the study also found challenges in adjusting traditional values to social change and modernity. It is hoped that sustainable solutions can be found to maintain a balance between Islamic traditions and the needs of modern Indonesian society by understanding the role and complexity of these kinship systems.

Integration of Child-Raising Values in Islam and The Philosophical Thought of Stoicists
This article examines the integration of Islamic parenting values with the principles of Stoic philosophy, particularly within the framework of developing strong, religious, and rational character in children. Islam, through the concept of hadhanah, emphasizes the importance of parents' role in caring for and educating children by balancing physical, emotional, spiritual, social, and intellectual aspects. On the other hand, Stoicism emphasizes the principles of self-control, wisdom, courage, and justice as moral foundations for facing life. This research uses a qualitative approach based on literature, reviewing various Islamic and Stoic philosophical literature, and analyzing relevant verses from the Quran. The results show that these two value systems have strong convergence in aspects of character education, instilling virtue, and developing emotional resilience in children. Islam emphasizes the importance of role models, advice, habituation, and supervision in educating children, while Stoicism strengthens the mental aspect through emotional control and a focus on controllable matters. The integration of the two offers a parenting approach that is relevant to the challenges of the times, both in the ever-changing digital and social contexts.

The Concept of Madrasah Education During the Abbasid Period
This study aims to explore and understand in depth the concept of education that developed during the reign of the Abbasid Caliphate, a period known as the golden age in the history of Islamic civilization. During this period, education and science experienced very rapid progress, marked by the development of various branches of science, both Islamic and general. This study uses a library study approach with a descriptive method, namely an approach that focuses on the review of various relevant literature, documents, and historical references to obtain a comprehensive picture of the education system during that period. The results show that the concept of education during the Abbasid era strongly emphasized the balance between religious knowledge and general knowledge. Islamic knowledge remained the main foundation, but did not close itself off from the development of other sciences such as philosophy, medicine, mathematics, and astronomy. The Abbasid government paid great attention to the world of education, including in terms of funding, the construction of educational institutions, and appreciation for scientists. Strong state support and openness to receiving knowledge from various civilizations were important factors in making this era a milestone in educational progress in Islamic history.

The Views of the Head of the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) on the Lontong Kupang Isbat Nikah Program in Surabaya
The Lontong Kupang Isbat Nikah program is a collaborative service between the Surabaya City Government, the Religious Court, and the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) to assist couples who are married religiously but not yet legally registered. This study aims to explore the critical views of KUA heads in the five regions with the highest number of participants regarding the program's implementation. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations. The results indicate that although the program provides a short-term administrative solution, most KUA heads are concerned about its long-term impact. They believe that the program's routine implementation could normalize the practice of unregistered marriages and undermine public awareness of the importance of officially registering marriages from the outset. Criticisms also focused on the weak verification system and the potential for procedural abuse. It was recommended that the program not be implemented annually, but rather only under certain circumstances with strict requirements. Several KUA heads even suggested a comprehensive reevaluation of the program, considering the possibility of its termination. In conclusion, despite its administrative benefits, the program needs to be reviewed to ensure it does not conflict with legal principles and the community's moral education.

Tabligh Akbar on the Manganan Tradition in Tuban: The Dynamics of Local Religion and Culture from a Syncretism Perspective
The Manganan tradition in Tuban is a cultural practice passed down through generations, undergoing transformations due to the influence of Islamization. Initially, this tradition served as an expression of gratitude to ancestors for agricultural harvests. However, with the introduction of Islamic teachings, a transformation occurred, strengthening Islamic values within the practice. One of the most significant changes is the integration of Tabligh Akbar into the Manganan ceremony. This study employs a qualitative approach with phenomenological methods to understand the religious and cultural dynamics from a syncretic perspective. The findings reveal that Tabligh Akbar plays a role in Islamizing the Manganan ritual without entirely eliminating local cultural elements. This process reflects a pattern of syncretism, where the community maintains traditional values while adapting religious teachings. Despite shifts in ritual practices, this tradition remains upheld as a form of solidarity, mutual cooperation, and respect for religious values. Thus, the Manganan tradition combined with Tabligh Akbar serves as an example of how religion and culture can interact harmoniously in a dynamic unity.

Comparative Study of Leadership Styles in Public and Private Elementary Schools
Effective leadership has emerged as a crucial focus within the framework of Merdeka Belajar, a policy that enhances the capacity of educational institutions to innovate and respond to the specific needs of their local communities. The influence of leadership on educational outcomes is profound, affecting both educator performance and the institution's overall effectiveness. A principal who exemplifies strong leadership can significantly enhance teacher effectiveness and improve student achievement. This research seeks to analyze the differing leadership styles of principals in public versus private elementary schools during the Merdeka Belajar initiative. Employing a comparative methodology, the study gathers data through interviews, questionnaires, and observations involving principals, teachers, and staff from both sectors. Findings indicate that public schools generally adopt a transactional leadership approach, whereas private schools are more inclined towards transformational leadership. The study aims to offer valuable insights, suggesting that both public and private institutions should embrace a more adaptable leadership style. In public schools, it is recommended that principals foster a culture of innovation and actively seek input from diverse stakeholders, thereby creating a more collaborative environment for teachers and students alike.

Childfree from the Perspective of Islamic Feminism: An Analysis of the Thoughts of Amina Wadud and Asma Barlas
The phenomenon of childfree, the decision not to have children, is increasingly becoming a concern in social discourse, especially in the context of modern society which is dominated by the concepts of gender justice and bodily rights. This article analyzes the issue of childfree from the perspective of Islamic feminism through the thoughts of Amina Wadud and Asma Barlas. The main focus of this article is to understand how these two thinkers interpret women's rights, especially regarding the freedom to choose their reproductive roles. Using a qualitative method based on literature study, this research asserts that Islamic feminism, as initiated by Wadud and Barlas, supports women's right to choose childfree as a form of bodily autonomy and moral freedom guaranteed in Islamic teachings. This article also seeks to criticize patriarchal interpretations that limit women to domestic roles. The results show that the childfree decision can be categorized as a form of women's liberation from social pressure that is not in accordance with the principles of justice and equality in Islam.

The Effect of Risk Perception, Financial Self-Efficacy, Brand Image, Moslem Celebrity Endorsers, and Sharia Compliance on Gen Z Gold Investment Decisions in Sharia Financial Institutions
This study aims to analyze the influence of risk perception, financial self-efficacy, brand image, Muslim celebrity endorsers, and sharia compliance on Generation Z gold investment decisions in Islamic financial institutions. Using a quantitative approach and data collected through a survey of 150 Generation Z respondents who invest in Islamic gold, this study tested the hypothesis using multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that risk perception, financial self-efficacy, brand image, and sharia compliance had a positive and significant effect on Generation Z gold investment decisions, while Muslim celebrity endorsers did not have a significant effect. Simultaneously, all five variables had a significant effect. These findings imply that Islamic financial institutions need to consider these factors in designing marketing strategies and investment products that suit Generation Z preferences. Sharia compliance is a key factor in attracting Generation Z investors, so financial institutions need to emphasize their commitment to sharia principles.

Genealogy of the Concept of Wasathiyyah in Islamic Education: A Critical Analysis of Classical and Digital Texts
This research aims to examine the conceptual dynamics of wasathiyyah (Islamic moderation) in the context of Islamic education by conducting a genealogical exploration of classical texts and a critical analysis of current digital representations. The method used is qualitative, with a literature study and critical discourse analysis of two main corpora. First, classical Islamic literature, including tafsir, hadith, and works of authoritative scholars. And secondly, digital content such as online articles, social media, and da'wah videos. The findings show that in classical texts, wasathiyyah is understood as an epistemological principle that harmonizes reason and revelation and rejects extremism. In the digital space, that meaning is often simplified or even distorted due to the influence of ideological interests and populist communication patterns. The challenge for Islamic education in maintaining its scientific authority and transformative value arises from this phenomenon. Thus, the integration of classical scientific heritage and critical religious digital literacy is a key strategy in building a contextual, reflective, and value-rooted Islamic education paradigm based on the principle of rahmatan lil-‘alamin.

Revitalizing the Function of Hadith as a Social Instrument in Preventing Divorce in the Modern Era
Divorce in the modern era shows a worrying upward trend, marked by the weakening of the family institution due to a crisis of communication, individualism, and minimal understanding of religion. The Hadith, as one of the main sources of Islamic teachings, contains many social principles that have great potential in maintaining the integrity of the household. Revitalizing the social function of hadith is crucial to make it a preventive instrument in preventing divorce. This study aims to re-examine the role of hadith as a source of social values in building family resilience amidst the challenges of modernity. The method used is a qualitative study based on a thematic approach. The results of the study show that the hadiths of the Prophet not only present normative solutions but also contain social values such as deliberation, patience, empathy, and forgiveness that are highly relevant to the dynamics of contemporary households. In addition, hadith also functions as an ethical guideline that can direct married couples to harmonious communication patterns, fair social roles, and a spiritual understanding of the meaning of marriage. In conclusion, revitalizing hadith as a social instrument not only revives the teachings of the Prophet but also builds household resilience based on prophetic values that are applicable in the modern era.

Apperceptions of the Ireng Mask Dance and Finger Painting as Means of Self-Expression in Early Childhood (Observation Study at Pertiwi Bojong Kindergarten and Pertiwi Rambaenak Kindergarten)
Early childhood is a crucial period in a child's development, including self-expression. One way to help children channel their emotions, imagination, and thoughts is through artistic activities. This study observed two artistic activities, namely Ireng Mask Dance and finger painting, which were implemented at Pertiwi Bojong Kindergarten and Pertiwi Rambaenak Kindergarten in Magelang Regency. The aim was to see how these two activities could serve as a means for children to express themselves. Using a descriptive qualitative approach through direct observation, the results showed that while both activities have great potential, their implementation still faces challenges, such as teachers' lack of understanding in guiding children's creative processes, limited resources, and insufficient integration of local culture into learning. This study suggests the need for teacher training, the development of more varied media, and more contextual learning modules to ensure that art activities can truly support children's holistic development.

School Culture and Teacher Performance: A Comprehensive Review Through a Modeling Approach (Systematic Literature Review)
This study aims to analyze the role of school culture in improving teacher performance through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to twenty relevant scientific articles from the past ten years. The results of the analysis indicate that a positive school culture, characterized by the values of religiosity, integrity, mutual cooperation, and strong transformational leadership, can create a conducive work environment and increase teacher motivation, commitment, and professionalism. Other factors such as effective communication and professional development through regular training have also been shown to contribute to improved teacher performance. However, the results also reveal a significant gap, namely the lack of comprehensive integration between school culture and institutional policies systematically to support sustainable teacher performance improvement. Furthermore, there is little research exploring the challenges of implementing school culture in the context of inclusive schools or areas with limited resources. Therefore, further empirical and contextual studies are needed to formulate operational strategies to strengthen school culture oriented towards improving teacher performance and the overall quality of education.

Implementation of a Digital-Based Accommodation Reservation System for Optimization of PNBP at the Bekasi Hajj Dormitory
The utilization of State-Owned Assets (BMN) at Bekasi Hajj Dormitory and the broader push for public service digitalization have led to the implementation of an online accommodation reservation system, SIASAH. This application stands as the sole digital system across all Hajj dormitories in Indonesia, developed to uphold Good Governance principles by considering effectiveness, efficiency, and transparency in service management, particularly in optimizing Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP). This study employs a qualitative approach, using the PESTLE analysis model. Data were gathered through interviews with the application developers, reservation and accommodation staff, and service users, complemented by a review of documents such as accommodation usage reports and official website data from Bekasi Hajj Dormitory. The findings indicate that SIASAH has successfully enhanced financial accountability and transparency. However, the system continues to face significant challenges, including public resistance to technology adoption, limitations in human and physical resources, and a sub-optimal integration of environmentally friendly practices. To address these issues, the report recommends a broader marketing strategy via social media platforms, strengthening resource management, and developing digital archiving features. These measures are crucial for ensuring the system's sustainability, improving its efficiency, and elevating the quality of public services provided.

A Critical Narrative of Salafi–Wahhabi Discourse on Social Media
This article aims to explore the discourse narrative evolving from Salafi-Wahhabi scholars regarding Kalam (Islamic theology), including how this discourse is generated and disseminated. What was once a concern confined to a limited circle has now become a public issue accessible to anyone from diverse backgrounds. Thus, the discourse battle within Islamic thought has shifted its battleground, considering vastly different circumstances compared to its development in the past. This research falls under media studies utilizing content analysis. It delves deeply into the issues circulating on social media related to Salafi-Wahhabi preaching about Kalam (Islamic Theology). The findings of this article are twofold: Firstly, Salafi-Wahhabi groups often emphasize a discourse rejecting the use of theological speculation and philosophy in religious understanding. They argue that the Quran and Hadith as primary Islamic sources suffice as guidance in religious practices. They tend to reject rational and philosophical approaches in comprehending Islamic teachings, prioritizing a literal textual understanding. Salafi-Wahhabis stress literalism in religious interpretation and frequently view the understanding of Kalam (rational theology) as potentially confusing to creed and introducing concepts not found in sacred texts. Secondly, Salafi-Wahhabi groups have effectively utilized social media to disseminate their religious narrative. They possess significant financial support for producing high-quality religious content. Technological advancements have allowed them to reach broader and deeper audiences with their narrative. Social media has become a crucial tool in reinforcing their religious understanding and perspectives while also posing challenges in terms of social media literacy and religious tolerance.
