Abstract:Islamic Religious Education (PAI) faces complex challenges in maintaining relevance and quality amidst social change, technology, and demands for public accountability. Two main concepts in educational quality management—continuous…
—continuous improvement and quality assurance—are often discussed separately, despite their fundamentally synergistic relationship. This study aims to conceptually examine the integration of continuous improvement and quality assurance in the context of PAI, addressing how both frameworks can be operationalized simultaneously to improve the quality of PAI delivery. Using a systematic literature review method through Google Scholar and Publish or Perish (PoP) for the 2019–2026 period, 25 relevant articles were analyzed from 80 initial findings. The results show that quality assurance functions as a holding system that establishes standards, while continuous improvement acts as a driving force encouraging innovation and adaptation. However, in PAI practice, tension exists between standard compliance (QA) and the need for dynamic change (CI). This article offers an integrative framework called the Adaptive Quality Cycle (AQC), combining the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle with Islamic principles such as muhasabah (self-evaluation), tahsin (continuous improvement), and itqan (professionalism). This integration is key for PAI institutions to not only meet minimum standards but also continuously develop dynamically without losing their Islamic identity.

eligious character. This type of research is qualitative research with data analysis using MAXQDA. Data collection techniques used are observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis is carried out by collecting/organizing raw data (data collection), condensing data (data condensation), presenting data (data display), drawing conclusions/verification. The results of this study indicate that (1) the implementation of the principal's management in improving the religious character of students at SMA Negeri 5 Palopo is carried out through four integrated management functions, namely: (a) Planning which is realized in the preparation of routine religious programs such as Al-Qur'an literacy (15-minute tadarus), congregational prayer, and commemoration of Islamic holidays, (b) Organization is carried out by clearly dividing tasks to religious teachers as coordinators, assisted by homeroom teachers and involving the active role of OSIS and Rohis as technical implementers, (c) Implementation is carried out by integrating the program into school activities and providing direct motivation and role models to enforce religious discipline, and (d) Supervision is carried out through checking attendance at congregational prayers and providing direct reprimands to students who are less religious. (2) Factors that influence the success of this implementation include internal factors, such as the principal's leadership commitment, teacher discipline, and the availability of facilities and infrastructure, as well as external factors that include support from parents and the community. Overall, the success of the principal's management is greatly influenced by strong collaboration between all school residents and the surrounding environment.

he use of digital devices needs to be directed to align with the strengthening of digital literacy and religious values. This study aims to analyze the integration of Chromebooks in Islamic Religious Education learning and its contribution to strengthening digital literacy and the religious character of students at Marga Mulya II Elementary School, North Bekasi. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. Then, they were analyzed using an interactive model that included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that Chromebook integration was implemented in a structured manner through digital-based learning planning, interactive activities, and controlled online evaluation. Students' digital literacy developed through the habit of using devices in an orderly and responsible manner. At the same time, religious character traits such as honesty, discipline, and responsibility were internalized through the association of technology use with religious values. These findings confirm that technology can be a medium for developing digital competency and character when managed through appropriate pedagogical design. This research has implications for the importance of developing technology-based, integrative, and values-oriented Islamic Religious Education learning models in elementary schools.

implementation of Islamic boarding school-based educational management at SMPIT Manbaul Ulum in improving student discipline and independence. The research approach used is a qualitative case study. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies, which were then analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques. The results show that the implementation of Islamic boarding school-based educational management is carried out through the integration of religious values in all school activities, consistent regulation of discipline, habituation of congregational worship, and strengthening student personal responsibility through independence programs. Student discipline is increased through structured supervision and positive behavioral habits, while independence grows through assignments that encourage self-management and independent decision-making. These findings prove that the Islamic boarding school-based educational management model is effective in shaping students' disciplined and independent character. The implications of this study indicate that the Islamic boarding school-based approach can be an alternative educational management strategy that focuses not only on academic achievement, but also on character development.

d Muhaimin. The focus of the study is directed toward three main aspects of education: educational goals, educational materials, and educational methods derived from the values of the Qur’an. This research employs a qualitative approach using library research. The data were obtained from primary sources in the form of the works of the examined scholars and secondary sources consisting of books, journal articles, and relevant research findings. Data collection was conducted through documentation, while data analysis employed content analysis with a descriptive-analytical approach. The results indicate that tafsir tarbawi views the goal of Islamic education as an effort to form insan kāmil, characterized by a balanced development of faith, knowledge, and morality. Educational materials are integrative, combining religious knowledge and general knowledge based on Qur’anic values. Meanwhile, educational methods in tafsir tarbawi emphasize humanistic, contextual, and participatory approaches through exemplification, dialogue, storytelling, and habituation. This study affirms that tafsir tarbawi has strong relevance in addressing the challenges of contemporary Islamic education, particularly in strengthening students’ character and moral values.

Abstract:Mechanical Engineering Education (PTM) demands logical precision and mastery of high technology, creating an intensive academic burden for students. This condition often leads to an invisible dichotomy between "campus obligations"…
ligations" and "religious obligations," where Muslim PTM students struggle to maintain consistency in Islamic discipline, such as five-times prayer and moral development. This research aims to explore the challenges faced by Mechanical Engineering Education (PTM) students in maintaining Islamic discipline amid high academic demands. The method used is a Literature Review with a critical approach, which collects and analyzes various literature to identify gaps in knowledge. The main findings reveal that the primary challenges include the decline of ethical values such as honesty due to the impact of social changes and technological advancements, the risk of weakened character caused by the influence of global secular culture, and the heavy curriculum burden that leads to mental and physical exhaustion as well as conflicts between academic schedules and religious obligations. Furthermore, students' excessive focus on achieving high GPA and technical skills often neglects moral development, compounded by the lack of integration of the ta’dib concept and insufficient support from social environments that can enforce discipline. Therefore, a holistic and integrated solution is necessary to make Islamic ethics the foundation of academic and professional behavior,balancing technical expertise and spiritual aspects so that PTM students can become competent individuals with strong Islamic character.

Abstract:Artikel ini membahas ruqyah syar’iyyah sebagai praktik pengobatan spiritual dalam Islam yang berperan dalam mendukung kesehatan fisik dan mental. Tujuan artikel ini adalah untuk menjelaskan landasan normatif ruqyah syar’iyyah…
r’iyyah serta efek psikospiritual dan fisiknya dalam konteks kesehatan jiwa-raga. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan studi pustaka, artikel ini menganalisis literatur terkait ruqyah, termasuk teori dasar dan penelitian terkini. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa ruqyah syar’iyyah berfungsi sebagai religious coping yang membantu mengelola stres, mengurangi kecemasan, serta meningkatkan ketenangan batin, yang pada gilirannya memperbaiki kualitas tidur dan menurunkan ketegangan fisik. Selain itu, praktik ini mendukung perilaku sehat dan memfasilitasi perawatan medis konvensional. Namun, penting untuk menegaskan bahwa ruqyah tidak dapat menggantikan pengobatan medis, tetapi berfungsi sebagai terapi komplementer. Artikel ini memberikan kontribusi ilmiah dengan menekankan urgensi ruqyah sebagai amalan harian yang sah dalam kerangka kesehatan jiwa-raga, serta pentingnya integrasi spiritual dan medis dalam pengobatan.
