Abstract:The Qur'an, as the primary source of Islamic teachings, contains legal verses that require in-depth interpretation for proper application, one notable example being Tafsir al-Maraghi by Ahmad Musthafa al-Maraghi, a contemporary…
mporary Egyptian scholar known for his moderate stance and independence from madhhab fanaticism. This study aims to reveal al-Maraghi's typology of ijtihad in interpreting legal verses, identify the legal products he produced, and examine his responses to contemporary legal issues. The research employs a library research method with a descriptive-analytical approach and fiqhi tafsir framework, using Tafsir al-Maraghi as the primary source alongside various ahkam tafsir and fiqh works as secondary sources, analyzed through content analysis and comparative reasoning. The findings show that al-Maraghi developed an integrative ijtihad model combining five typologies, namely bayani, tarjihi, maqashidi, istislahi, and tajdidi, with maqashid al-shari'ah orientation as the most dominant character, spanning worship, marriage, inheritance-testament, transactions, politics, and criminal law. The study concludes that this ijtihad pattern produces moderate, contextual legal interpretations relevant to the development of contemporary Islamic law in Indonesia. Further research is recommended to apply a systematic contemporary maqashid approach.
Abstract:This study aims to examine the influence of discount framing, brand reputation, e-satisfaction, and e-loyalty on the use of online food delivery applications. The study employs a quantitative approach using survey methods…
s and hypothesis testing with SEM-AMOS version 23. The population of this study consists of users of online food delivery applications across Indonesia, with the unit of analysis being individuals. Data for this study were obtained from 135 respondents who filled out an online questionnaire based on a purposive sampling method. The results of the study indicate that discount framing has a positive effect on brand reputation and e-satisfaction. Brand reputation positively affects e-satisfaction. E-satisfaction positively impacts e-loyalty. This indicates that the higher the discount framing, the better the brand reputation and e-satisfaction for ordering food. Furthermore, the better the brand reputation, the higher the e-satisfaction, and the higher the e-satisfaction, the better the e-loyalty in ordering food through online food delivery applications. The implications of these results for application owners are to understand the influence of discount framing, brand reputation, e-satisfaction, and e-loyalty, so they can formulate strategies and policies related to these factors. Meanwhile, the implication for application users is that they can use applications that offer discount framing that suits their needs.
Abstract:This study examines the influence of Maqashid Sharia dimensions on halal cosmetic usage intention among married Muslim women and investigates the moderating role of price affordability. A quantitative approach was employed…
ed using a survey method involving 157 married Muslim women residing in the Greater Jakarta area (Jabodetabek), Indonesia. Respondents were selected through purposive sampling, and the data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0. The findings reveal that among the five Maqashid Sharia dimensions examined, only hifz al-mal (protection of wealth) and hifz al-nasl (protection of lineage) significantly and positively influence halal cosmetic usage intention. In contrast, hifz al-din (protection of religion), hifz al-nafs (protection of life), and hifz al-aql (protection of intellect) do not show significant effects. Price affordability demonstrates a significant direct positive effect on usage intention; however, it does not moderate the relationships between any of the Maqashid Sharia dimensions and usage intention. The model explains 65.5% of the variance in halal cosmetic usage intention (R² = 0.655) with a predictive relevance value of Q² = 0.469. These findings suggest that economic rationality and family orientation serve as the primary drivers of halal cosmetic consumption among married Muslim women, rather than individual religiosity or health awareness. This study contributes to the literature by applying the Maqashid Sharia framework to consumer behavior research and provides practical implications for halal cosmetic industry stakeholders.

p between family characteristics and the incidence of stunting among children aged 24–59 months in Nagari Sinuruik, within the working area of Talu Public Health Center. This study used a quantitative descriptive-analytic method with a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted from February to August 2024, with data collection carried out from June 26 to 30, 2024. The study population consisted of 85 children aged 24–59 months, with a sample of 46 respondents selected using random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that 26 toddlers (56.5%) experienced stunting, 28 respondents (60.9%) had poor nutritional knowledge, 28 respondents (60.9%) had a lower educational level, and 24 respondents (52.2%) had low family income. There were significant relationships between maternal knowledge and the incidence of stunting (p=0.007), maternal education and the incidence of stunting (p=0.012), and family income and the incidence of stunting (p=0.009). The study concluded that maternal knowledge, maternal education, and family income were associated with the incidence of stunting among children aged 24–59 months. Public health center staff are expected to continue monitoring the nutritional status of toddlers and improve nutrition education for mothers, adolescents, and prospective brides and grooms.

dge of early stimulation and developmental screening outcomes and compared developmental outcomes between stunted and non-stunted toddlers. A quantitative analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 125 mother–toddler pairs in the working area of Balaiselasa Public Health Center, Pesisir Selatan Regency, Indonesia. Maternal knowledge was assessed using a structured questionnaire, developmental status was screened using the Kuesioner Pra Skrining Perkembangan (KPSP), and stunting was determined from length/height-for-age according to age and sex. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s Chi-Square test. Moderate maternal knowledge was found in 59 mothers (47.2%). Developmental screening outcomes were appropriate in 68 toddlers (54.4%), questionable in 48 (38.4%), and deviant in 9 (7.2%). Maternal knowledge was associated with developmental screening outcomes (χ²=10.187; df=4; p=0.037; Cramer’s V=0.202). Stunting status was also associated with developmental category (χ²=6.279; df=2; p=0.043). Because some expected cell counts were below five, the chi-square findings should be confirmed using an exact or Monte Carlo test. The findings support integrated maternal education, developmental screening, growth monitoring, and nutritional follow-up in primary health services.

fitness that plays an important role in supporting physical activity and cognitive function. The ability of attention and learning focus is an important aspect in the learning process because it affects the understanding of material and student learning outcomes. This research uses a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The research sample consisted of 20 Physical Education Study Program students selected using a purposive sampling technique. Cardiorespiratory endurance was measured using the Multistage Fitness Test (MFT) to obtain an estimated VO₂max, while attention and learning focus were measured using a Likert scale questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using the Pearson Product Moment correlation test. The results showed a positive and significant relationship between cardiorespiratory endurance and student attention and learning focus (r = 0.587; p < 0.05). These findings indicate that students with better levels of cardiorespiratory endurance tend to have higher levels of focus and attention during the learning process.

a survey method. The study population consisted of 33 employees, all of whom were sampled through a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using validity tests, reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, partial tests, simultaneous tests, and coefficients of determination using SPSS 27. The results showed that horizontal communication, vertical communication, and diagonal communication each had a positive and significant effect on employee morale. Simultaneously, the three variables also had a significant effect on morale. Vertical communication was the variable that had the greatest influence compared to the other two variables. The Adjusted R Square value of 0.840 indicated that 84% of the variation in morale could be explained by the three forms of organizational communication, while 16% was influenced by other factors outside the research model. These findings confirm that effective organizational communication plays an important role in increasing employee morale and supporting the creation of more optimal public service performance.
