CULTIVATING ISLAMIC EDUCATIONAL VALUES IN STREET CHILDREN THROUGH THE RUMAH DEDIKASI INDONESIA (KRDI) COMMUNITY IN MAKASSAR

2025-10-15T21:11:23+07:00

This study examines the instillation of Islamic educational values by the Indonesian Dedication House Community (KRDI) among street children in Makassar City. The main focus of this study is the form of instillation, the methods used, and the obstacles faced by the community in implementing non-formal education programs for street children. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive and phenomenological methods. Primary data were obtained from the General Chairperson of KRDI, mentors, volunteer teachers, and street children, while secondary data consisted of documents and reports related to KRDI activities. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions with validity tests using data triangulation. The results of the study indicate that KRDI plays a strategic role in fostering street children through religious education, character education, and the development of interests and talents. Obstacles that arise include limited teaching staff, the diverse character backgrounds of street children, and lack of support from parents. The implications of this study highlight that Islamic value-based education models can serve as alternative solutions for non-formal education among marginalized urban groups.

A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE RELIGIOUS MODERATION POLICY IN ISLAMIC EDUCATION: RESISTANCE AND SYMBOLIC VIOLENCE IN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

2025-10-18T00:59:57+07:00

This study aims to critically examine the politics behind the government's policy on religious moderation within the context of Islamic religious education. Initially intended as a response to the rise of radicalism in Islamic religious education in Indonesia, the policy has instead transformed into another form of radicalism, driven by grassroots fanaticism and the rigid implementation of religious moderation by government institutions—particularly the Ministry of Religious Affairs. These institutions tend to eliminate ideas deemed radical or threatening to state stability without providing space for dialogue or seeking common ground. Using a qualitative approach through a literature review method, this study finds that the infiltration of religious moderation into the Islamic education curriculum is a political strategy by the state to hegemonize the Muslim community and suppress groups considered disruptive to national political stability. However, this effort has triggered resistance and symbolic violence among the public and educational institutions. The findings imply the urgent need for the government to reform the administration of Islamic religious education to ensure that religious moderation does not become a tool of symbolic violence: (1) the government must detach its political interests from religious education, (2) implement inclusive Islamic education across different schools of thought (madhhab) to foster a strong sense of moderation among students, and (3) minimize symbolic violence in religious education, as it contradicts the very values of religious moderation itself.

STRENGTHENING RELIGIOUS HARMONY THROUGH COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION AND LOCAL WISDOM IN TARAKAN CITY

2025-10-20T01:21:27+07:00

In the past five years, the Religious Harmony Index in North Kalimantan Province has shown a consistently high level of achievement, remaining above the national average. In 2021, the index recorded a score of 75.63, surpassing the national average of 72.39. This study seeks to explore the key factors behind this sustained harmony, focusing on how social, cultural, and institutional dynamics contribute to the province’s strong interreligious relations. Employing a qualitative research approach, the study was conducted in Tarakan City—a heterogeneous urban setting considered representative for examining the drivers of religious harmony in the region. The data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using a descriptive qualitative method. The findings reveal that one of the primary factors contributing to the high Religious Harmony Index in Tarakan is the active role of the Forum Kerukunan Umat Beragama (FKUB) or the Interfaith Harmony Forum. Through consistent dialogue and coordination among religious leaders, FKUB plays a strategic role in maintaining social cohesion and resolving emerging issues at the grassroots level before they escalate publicly. The forum also identifies potential sources of intolerance and applies cultural approaches in mediating community conflicts, such as disputes related to the establishment of houses of worship. Another significant factor is the preservation of local wisdom among the Tidung ethnic community, particularly the values embodied in tenguyun—a tradition that emphasizes cooperation, mutual assistance, and communal solidarity. These cultural principles extend to environmental stewardship, reflected in the Tidung people’s moral responsibility to protect natural ecosystems such as mangrove forests. Overall, this study underscores that cultural communication and local wisdom function as vital socio-cultural capital that reinforce institutional efforts to sustain religious harmony. These findings highlight the importance of integrating local cultural values into broader peacebuilding frameworks to strengthen interfaith relations in plural societies .

2025-10-20T01:55:11+07:00

This study examines the role of interpersonal communication and digital competence in the completion of final projects among students at IAIN Pontianak. The background of this study lies in the increasing challenges in completing final projects due to limited effective communication with academic advisors and insufficient digital skills. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observations, and documentation involving 15 students and 5 academic advisors. The findings reveal that intensive interpersonal communication and adequate digital competence support the timely completion of final projects. However, some students face technological limitations and communication barriers that hinder progress. The contribution of this study lies in proposing an integrated framework of interpersonal communication and digital competence as a holistic approach in academic supervision, while also highlighting the psychosocial dimension of student mental well-being. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of developing technology-based academic supervision policies and providing psychological support in Islamic higher education to enhance the quality of final project completion.

2024-12-30T02:11:16+07:00

The rise of online gambling has become a serious issue in Indonesia, particularly concerning its impact on children. This phenomenon raises deep concerns about the negative effects it may have on their development and well-being. In this context, the role of family preaching (dakwah) is crucial in strengthening children's resilience against the negative influences of online gambling. This research aims to analyze how family preaching can contribute to building resilience in children against the risks of online gambling. To achieve this objective, the study adopts a descriptive qualitative approach and utilizes a library research method, hoping to provide an in-depth understanding of the role of family preaching in protecting children from the negative impacts of online gambling, as well as to identify effective preaching strategies. This involves gathering relevant information or scholarly works such as books, journal articles, internet articles, websites, and YouTube videos. The results indicate that there are several roles of family preaching in shaping children's resilience against online gambling: First, parents act as pioneers by teaching religious values; Second, as protectors from dangers such as online gambling; Third, as advisors by respecting children's viewpoints; Fourth, as role models in responsibility and morality; Fifth, by implementing clear rules; and Sixth, through balanced supervision to monitor children's behavior. Parents must also balance freedom and support to foster children's development.

2024-12-30T02:11:15+07:00

This paper investigates the nexus between Islamic social finance and pesantren, focusing on its implications for the preparation of muballigh cadres. Grounded in the rich Islamic tradition, pesantren serve as pivotal institutions for molding future leaders deeply rooted in Islamic teachings. This study addresses a significant research gap by examining the specific impact of Islamic social finance within pesantren on the preparation of muballigh cadres, filling a void in the existing literature. Through qualitative analysis, it investigates how mechanisms such as waqf, zakat, and sadaqah influence the training of future Islamic preachers within these institutions. The findings highlight the role of Islamic social finance in sustaining pesantren operations, fostering community development, and shaping the ethical, social, and economic dimensions of muballigh cadres' preparation. Theoretically, this study expands the discourse on Islamic social finance by demonstrating its relevance and application in educational and leadership contexts within pesantren. It also offers practical recommendations for policymakers and practitioners to optimize these mechanisms in advancing the role of pesantren in Islamic education and community development.

THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL FACTORS AND CURRICULUM ON THE ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTIONS OF MUSLIM STUDENTS

2025-05-20T13:33:13+07:00

This study looks into how social factors like social interaction, family support, and career orientation, along with curriculum elements, especially the implementation of the Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka Curriculum (MBKM), influence the entrepreneurial intentions of students at Islamic religious universities in Indonesia. The research uses a quantitative approach with the Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method. A total of 392 students from ten Islamic religious universities across Indonesia took part in the study. The findings revealed that social interaction and family support had a significant impact on students' entrepreneurial intentions, whereas career orientation did not have a notable effect. The introduction of the MBKM curriculum greatly boosts students' entrepreneurial intentions. These results provide both theoretical insights and practical guidance for promoting entrepreneurship in Islamic religious universities. They highlight the importance of MBKM policies, reinforced by social factors such as social interaction and family support, in nurturing students' entrepreneurial spirit. Therefore, combining the MBKM curriculum with a supportive social environment could be an effective strategy to build an entrepreneurial ecosystem within Islamic religious universities in Indonesia.

BANG ONIM'S DIGITAL POETRY MODEL AS AN INFLUENCER AND HUMANIST ACTIVISTS IN PALESTINE

2025-07-31T18:44:28+07:00

Social media has a significant influence on various aspects of life, including in humanitarian social action activities. The Palestinian care action carried out by influencers has utilized social media as a means of social interaction. Not a few social communities have made an invitation to donate to care for Palestine, boycott Israel or other humanitarian actions as a form of support for Palestine by gathering the attention of their followers on social media. However, not all influencers have optimized digital space specifically for calls for goodness like da'wah content. This study aims to see how the @bangonim account displays its experiences in humanitarian action in Palestine. Using a descriptive qualitative methodology, researchers analyzed the content of @bangonim posts for the period October - December 2023 which tell of its role in various humanitarian actions in Palestine. Researchers focused on the moral and worship content displayed by @bangonim in its posts in the form of an invitation to care for Palestine. For moral posts, researchers found two main themes, namely caring for orphans and honoring elders. The two themes of the posts displayed convey the importance of providing moral and material support to children and parents in Palestine who have lost their families with humanitarian assistance. On the theme of worship, researchers found 3 contents of posts displayed by @bangonim, namely giving alms, maintaining prayer and loving the Qur'an. In this worship theme post, @bangonim tries to invite followers that it is included in worship activities when a Muslim cares about the condition of Palestine. As a humanitarian influencer, @bangonim tries to convey an invitation to goodness by including existing facts and realities, accompanied by examples of his social activities as a form of real humanitarian support. Through posting reels content and posters of humanitarian action to defend Palestine, he succeeded in realizing social change in the perspective of da'wah bil hikmah through social media.

AN ANALYSIS OF INDONESIAN STUDENTS' PERCEPTIONS OF THE SEX RECESSION PHENOMENON IN EAST ASIA

2024-12-30T02:11:16+07:00

Sexual recession is a significant issue in modern life. Modern society has undergone several shifts in its perspectives on marriage. In several non-Muslim majority countries, marriage is no longer deemed appropriate for contemporary lifestyles. This study aims to investigate the phenomena of sexual recession by analyzing the perspectives of Indonesian students on marital issues in East Asia and how these issues may influence their attitudes toward marriage. It also seeks to explore the students' apprehensions over marriage. This research qualifies as descriptive qualitative research. The data was collected through interviews with 32 students, consisting of 16 women and 16 men, from various major cities on the island of Java, including Surabaya, Yogyakarta, and DKI Jakarta. The research shows that Indonesian students' perspectives on this matter are influenced by different factors such as socio-cultural aspects of East Asian society, religion, financial economics, technology, and demographics. This issue significantly influences the tendency of Indonesian students to postpone marriage. Conversely, some students remain unaffected due to their excellent perception of marriage, religious values, and Indonesian societal norms. Male students express several concerns about marriage, including financial stability, family leadership skills, and uncertainty about the future. Female students find their partner's demeanor, poor self-confidence, and acceptance of their partner's family challenging.
