Nilai Dan Norma Sosial Dalam Peristiwa Al-Ifk Pada Qs Al-Nūr: Analisis Tafsir Tematik Dan Relevansinya Bagi Pendidikan Karakter
The al-Ifk incident is not merely a historical record of slander within the Prophet's household, but also contains a framework of social ethics relevant to communal life, including in the context of character education and values education. Previous studies have generally discussed the value of tabayyun separately in relation to QS al-Ḥujurāt verse 6, or examined the al-Ifk incident only from its narrative-historical aspect, such that few have comprehensively linked the narrative, epistemic-ethical (husnuzhan-tabayyun), and legal (had qadzf) dimensions of the al-Ifk incident with the framework of Character Education Strengthening (Penguatan Pendidikan Karakter/PPK). This article seeks to fill that gap by employing the thematic exegesis method (mawḍū‘ī), grounded in library research on classical exegetical works (Ibn Kathīr, al-Qurṭubī, al-Ṭabarī, al-Shawkānī) and contemporary ones (Tafsir al-Mishbah), as well as supporting literature from indexed journal articles. The discussion focuses on three main points: (1) the narrative construction and socio-historical context of the al-Ifk incident; (2) husnuzhan (positive assumption) and tabayyun (clarification/verification) as the foundation of epistemic-social ethics in communication; and (3) the legal norm of had qadzf and the community's collective responsibility in safeguarding honor (‘ird), along with its relevance to character education. The findings indicate that the social norms embedded in the al-Ifk incident form a mutually reinforcing system of communication ethics encompassing the affective dimension (husnuzhan), the procedural dimension (tabayyun), and the legal dimension (had qadzf), which together can serve as a reference for character education in cultivating information literacy, verbal self-restraint, and social responsibility among learners amid the current surge of information and disinformation. This article recommends that these values be explicitly integrated into the Islamic religious education curriculum as well as into Character Education Strengthening programs at educational institutions.

Telaah Kritis Evaluasi dan Implementasi Kurikulum Pembelajaran Bahasa Arab di Lingkungan Pesantren
Arabic language instruction has long been a hallmark of the historical excellence of Islamic boarding school education in Indonesia, although evaluation and curriculum implementation vary significantly across institutions. This paper aims to present a critical review of the evaluation and implementation of Arabic language curricula in Islamic boarding schools by summarizing a number of previous studies. The approach used is library research through thematic content analysis, with the Context, Input, Process, Product (CIPP) curriculum evaluation model used as a benchmark for comparing various cases. Three main conclusions emerge from this review. First, the diversity of Islamic boarding school Arabic language curricula is quite broad, ranging from Salafiyah Islamic boarding schools, whose curriculum relies on the authority of the kiai (Islamic scholars) and the tradition of the yellow books (kitab kuning), to Khalafiyah Islamic boarding schools, which implement the national curriculum in its entirety, to a combination of the two. Second, curriculum evaluation in various institutions still focuses primarily on product evaluation through learning achievement tests, while context and process evaluation are relatively understudied, resulting in a fragmented picture of curriculum success. Third, a gap has emerged between the direction of national policy, which requires communicative mastery of the four language skills, and the actual learning conditions, which are still closely tied to the grammar-translation approach, particularly in traditional Islamic boarding schools. This paper proposes a more responsive implementation-evaluation framework, one that combines the characteristics of the Islamic boarding school curriculum with the demands of national-scale communicative competency standards. The results of this review are expected to be useful as considerations for Islamic boarding school managers, policymakers, and future researchers in developing a more comprehensive and contextualized Arabic language curriculum evaluation system.

Demokrasi Liberal dan Rekonstruksi PAI Kontemporer: Menimbang Ulang Akar Historis dan Arah Transformasi
Liberal democracy emphasizes individual freedom, public participation, and respect for differences of opinion. In education, these values are reflected through dialogic and participatory learning. However, various studies indicate that Islamic Religious Education (IRE) is still dominated by teacher-centered approaches, resulting in limited student participation in the learning process. This condition reveals a gap between democratic values and contemporary IRE practices. This study aims to analyze the relevance of liberal democratic values in Islamic Religious Education and to formulate the direction for the reconstruction of contemporary IRE from the perspective of liberal democracy. The findings indicate that liberal democratic values, such as freedom of thought, active participation, tolerance, and respect for differences, are relevant to the principles consultation (shura), justice, and responsibility. Therefore, the reconstruction of Islamic Religious Education should be directed toward more dialogic, participatory, humanistic, and student-centered learning to address the challenges of contemporary society while maintaining the fundamental values of Islam.

Dampak Overthinking pada Pelajar di Era Digital dan Strategi Penanganannya dalam Konseling Islam
This study aims to analyze the impact of overthinking on students in the digital era and to formulate strategies to address it through an Islamic counseling approach. The method used is qualitative research with a systematic literature review approach, examining various sources such as national and international journal articles, educational psychology books, and Islamic normative sources including the Qur’an and Hadith. The results show that overthinking in students is influenced by internal factors, such as anxiety and negative thinking patterns, as well as external factors, especially exposure to digital media and social media that encourage unhealthy social comparison. The impacts include mental health problems, such as stress and anxiety, as well as decreased concentration and academic performance. From the perspective of Islamic counseling, overthinking is related to a condition of doubt (was-was) and a lack of trust in God (tawakal). Therefore, the proposed strategies include an Islamic cognitive approach, strengthening spirituality through dhikr and prayer, and behavioral management such as limiting the use of digital media. Thus, Islamic counseling provides a more holistic approach by integrating cognitive and spiritual aspects. The implication of this study highlights the importance of integrating Islamic value-based counseling and digital literacy in the education system.

Qur’anic Reading Competence And Worship Practice; Examining Contextual Variations Across Academic Programs
This study aims to examine the relationship between Qur’anic reading competence and students’ worship practice, as well as how this relationship varies across academic programs. The study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive-correlational and comparative design. The participants consisted of 48 students selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through a Qur’anic reading performance test and direct observation of worship practices, and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation, and the Kruskal–Wallis test to identify variations across groups. The results indicate that students’ Qur’anic reading competence is generally high, while their worship practice is categorized as good. The global Spearman correlation analysis revealed a positive and significant relationship between Qur’anic reading competence and worship practice (p = 0,385, p = 0.007), with a weak to moderate strength. However, contextual analysis showed that this relationship varies across academic programs. A significant moderate relationship was found in the Islamic Economics program (p = 0,522, p = 0.004), while a stronger significant relationship was observed in the Islamic Family Law program (p = 0,645, p = 0.044). In contrast, although a moderate correlation was found in the Islamic Banking program (p = 0,581), it was not statistically significant (p = 0,101). Furthermore, the Kruskal–Wallis test indicated no significant differences in Qur’anic reading competence across programs, but revealed significant differences in worship practice. These findings suggest that the relationship between Qur’anic reading competence and worship practice is neither linear nor universal, but rather influenced by academic context. Therefore, the development of pesantren-based competencies in higher education requires an integrative approach that emphasizes both cognitive aspects and context-sensitive reinforcement of worship practices.

Model Implementasi Spiritual Mindfulness untuk Penguatan Mental Health Remaja di Sekolah Islam
This study aims to analyze the implementation model of spiritual mindfulness in strengthening adolescent mental health within Islamic secondary schools. The research employs a qualitative approach with a multiple case study design conducted at two Islamic high schools in Gresik, Indonesia. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and analyzed thematically using iterative and comparative procedures. The findings reveal two distinct yet complementary models of spiritual mindfulness implementation. The first model, identified as a ritual-collective approach, emphasizes structured and consistent communal religious practices such as dhikr, congregational prayer, and spiritual habituation to create emotional stability prior to academic activities. The second model, categorized as a reflective-dialogical approach, integrates mentoring programs and spiritual counseling sessions that facilitate cognitive reappraisal and personal meaning-making processes among students. Drawing upon emotion regulation theory and religious coping frameworks, the study demonstrates that spiritual mindfulness functions as a form of religious cognitive reappraisal that enhances emotional regulation, resilience, and psychological well-being among adolescents. From a Sufi perspective, these practices correspond to the concepts of muraqabah, muhasabah, and tazkiyat al-nafs, which cultivate self-awareness and inner tranquility. The novelty of this research lies in proposing an integrative model of spiritual mindfulness rooted in Islamic epistemology while remaining theoretically coherent with contemporary psychological frameworks, offering a preventive strategy for adolescent mental health development in Islamic educational institutions.

Pendampingan Pengelolaan Pondok Pesantren Berbasis Boarding school: Studi Kasus di Arrisalah Boarding School Lombok Timur
Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) have long played a strategic role in Islamic education in Indonesia and have increasingly transformed into modern educational institutions that integrate formal schooling with religious and character education. This study aims to describe and analyze educational management practices at Arrisalah Boarding school, East Lombok, as a pesantren implementing an integrated boarding school system. Using a qualitative descriptive approach based on field-based mentoring activities, data were collected through participatory observation, informal interviews, and documentation involving school leaders, teachers, boarding supervisors, and students. The study was conducted from October to December 2025. The findings indicate that Arrisalah Boarding school has implemented educational management effectively through the integration of the National Curriculum, JSIT curriculum, and pesantren curriculum, supported by a structured boarding school system. The Tahfiz Al-Qur’an program emerges as a core institutional identity and a key competitive advantage, contributing significantly to character building and public trust. Human resource management and student life in the dormitory further support a holistic educational environment. However, challenges remain in the management of facilities and pesantren business units, which require stronger planning, professional governance, and accountability. This study contributes empirically to the literature on modern pesantren management and provides practical insights for improving sustainable and quality-oriented educational management in Islamic boarding schools.

Pengembangan Media Pembelajaran Flipbook Audio-Interaktif Sebagai Sarana Pembelajaran Tajwid Bagi Santri PPTQ Thohiron Mubarokan
This study aims to develop an audio-interactive flipbook learning media as a means of learning tajwid for students at PPTQ Thohiron Mubarokan. The background of this research is the limited use of tajwid learning media that is still conventional in nature, making it less engaging and not yet able to optimally support students’ independent learning. This research employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model, which consists of the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. At the analysis stage, the needs of students and the existing conditions of tajwid learning were identified. The design and development stages resulted in an audio-interactive flipbook that presents tajwid materials through systematic explanations, attractive visual displays, and correct pronunciation audio. The research subjects were students of PPTQ Thohiron Mubarokan. Data collection techniques included observation, student response questionnaires, and documentation. Research instruments were used to assess the feasibility, practicality, and students’ responses to the developed media. The results showed that the audio-interactive flipbook learning media was categorized as very feasible and practical for use in tajwid learning. The media helped students understand tajwid materials more easily through the integration of text, images, and audio features. In addition, the use of audio-interactive flipbook media increased students’ learning motivation and learning independence. Therefore, the audio-interactive flipbook learning media can be used as an effective and innovative alternative learning medium for teaching tajwid in the pesantren environment.

Integrasi Etnosains Pada Pembelajaran IPA: Studi Lapangan pada Batik Tulis Giriloyo dan Candi Prambanan
This study explores the integration of ethnoscience and ethnopedagogy into science learning by examining two cultural sites in Yogyakarta: Batik Tulis Giriloyo and the Prambanan Temple. Using qualitative descriptive methods, the research identifies scientific phenomena embedded in traditional batik production,such as chemical reactions in natural dyes, heat transfer in wax processing, and biological aspects of plant-based pigments,as well as physical, chemical, and ecological processes observable in the architecture and environment of Prambanan. These findings are then connected to science learning competencies at the junior and senior high school levels, demonstrating the relevance of culturally grounded phenomena to concepts such as states of matter, diffusion, oxidation, biodegradation, structural stability, and ecosystem dynamics. The study proposes a culturally embedded IPA learning model consisting of five stages: cultural orientation, artifact-based scientific exploration, simple experiments, value reflection, and the strengthening of character and scientific literacy. The integration of ethnoscience enriches conceptual understanding, while ethnopedagogical values, such as patience, accuracy, harmony, and environmental awareness, support character development. This approach aligns with the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum, emphasizing authentic, contextual, and culturally responsive science learning.

Pengaruh Pelaksanaan Kegiatan IMTAQ Terhadap Tingkat Keimanan Dan Ketakwaan Siswa SDN Galang Bulan
The rapid development of the digital era presents new challenges to the cultivation of religious values among elementary school students, highlighting the need for structured programs that strengthen their spiritual character. This study aims to examine the influence of the IMTAQ (Faith and Piety) program on students’ levels of faith and piety at SDN Galang Bulan, Central Lombok. A quantitative ex post facto design was employed, involving 91 Muslim students from grades IV, V, and VI. Data were collected using Likert-scale questionnaires that measured the implementation of the IMTAQ program and students’ levels of faith and piety. The findings indicate that the IMTAQ program was implemented in the “good” category (mean = 3.23), and students’ faith and piety levels also fell within the “good” category (mean = 3.20). Statistical analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between the implementation of IMTAQ and students’ faith and piety (r = 0.678, p < 0.05), with a coefficient of determination of R² = 0.46, indicating that 46% of the variance in faith and piety is explained by the IMTAQ program. This study concludes that consistent, structured, and value-oriented IMTAQ activities play a substantial role in fostering students’ spiritual behavior. The implications of this research suggest that schools should enhance the variety and quality of IMTAQ activities while encouraging greater involvement from teachers and parents to optimize religious character development among students.

Strategi Kepemimpinan Kepala Madrasah dalam Membangun Budaya Disiplin di Era Kurikulum Merdeka
This study aims to examine the role and leadership strategies of the principal in improving student discipline at MTs Al Hidayah Serah Panceng, Gresik, within the context of implementing the new curriculum and character strengthening policies. The dual mandate of madrasahs to develop both competence and character—based on the Decree of the Minister of Religious Affairs (KMA) No. 450 of 2024 and the Character Education Strengthening Program (PPK)—requires an adaptive leadership model. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. The findings reveal that the principal’s leadership (H. Asykuroni) is integrative, combining charismatic, democratic, strategic, and cultural styles. The discipline enhancement strategy emphasizes inner control through personal example and cooperative control through collaboration with parents, while external control based on the reward–punishment system is not the dominant approach. The most original finding is the practice of “collaborative learning module development,” which synthesizes the guidelines of LP Ma’arif NU and the Ministry of Religious Affairs. This innovation represents a bottom-up implementation of the Projek Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila dan Rahmatan lil ‘Alamin (P5RA) philosophy. The study concludes that adaptive leadership grounded in local wisdom and human resource empowerment successfully fosters a discipline culture based on moral awareness, and serves as an effective model for harmonizing national education policies with the cultural–religious identity of madrasahs.

Implementasi Nilai Keteladanan Dalam Pendidikan Karakter di Sekolah Dasar
This study aims to examine the implementation of exemplary values in character education at the elementary school level. Character education is a crucial component in shaping students' personalities, and role modeling is considered one of the most effective methods, as children tend to imitate the behavior of figures they admire, such as teachers and parents. In the context of Indonesian education, exemplary behavior is seen as a powerful means to instill moral values such as honesty, responsibility, discipline, and tolerance, which are essential for life in society. This research employs a library research method with a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected from various literature sources, including books, academic journals, and educational policy documents related to character education and role modeling. The collected data were then analyzed to identify basic concepts, field implementation practices, and the challenges in integrating exemplary values into the learning process. The findings reveal that role modeling significantly influences the internalization of character values in students. Teachers' daily behavior and attitudes, along with active involvement from parents at home, play a crucial role in shaping children's character. Furthermore, character education integrated into both the formal curriculum and extracurricular activities strengthens the development of those values. Therefore, collaboration between schools, families, and the broader community is key to the successful implementation of character education based on exemplary practices.

The Integration of the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) Method in Arabic Language Learning
This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of integrating the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) method in Arabic language learning at the madrasah level. The background of this research is the low reading and writing skills of students, as well as the lack of interaction in the learning process. This study employs both quantitative and qualitative approaches using a classroom action research design. The research sample consists of eighth-grade MTs (Islamic junior high school) students selected through purposive sampling. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, documentation, and learning achievement tests. Data analysis is conducted using both descriptive quantitative and qualitative methods, along with triangulation to ensure the validity of the findings. The results show that the application of the CIRC method enhances text comprehension, enriches vocabulary, and encourages active student participation through group discussions.

Kebijakan Pendidikan Jepang Di Indonesia Dan Implikasinya Terhadap Pendidikan Islam
Japanese education is known for its disciplined, practical education system that focuses on improving the quality of individuals and groups. In Indonesia, there are several Japanese policies implemented, especially in terms of school management, learning methods and a culture of hard work. This study aims to analyze how the influence of Japanese education policies implemented in Indonesia on the Islamic education system, both from the positive side and the challenges. Using a library research approach, this study relies on literature study and policy analysis to understand how the Japanese education system is adapted to the Islamic education situation. The results show that concepts such as high discipline and active learning have a positive impact on teaching effectiveness in Islamic schools. However, there are challenges in maintaining a balance between the positive secular nature of Japanese education and the Islamic values that form the basis of Islamic education in Indonesia. Therefore, an adaptation strategy that considers the synergy between the two systems is needed so that Islamic education retains its identity while utilizing the principles of Japanese education to improve the quality of learning. This research provides insights for education stakeholders in formulating policies that are more contextual and inclusive for the advancement of Islamic education in Indonesia.
