Abstract:This study investigates the strategic role of Islamic journalistic communication in promoting fraternal compassion and fostering bilateral harmony between Indonesia and Singapore. In an era shaped by digital polarization…
and cultural fragmentation, ethical journalism becomes crucial in constructing inclusive narratives and supporting peaceful cross-border relations. The objective of this research is to identify how Islamic values particularly the principle of rahmatan lil-‘alamin (mercy to all creation) inform journalistic practices that contribute to intercultural understanding and regional diplomacy. Using a qualitative, library-based approach, the study examines comparative media discourse from Indonesia and Singapore to highlight patterns of ethical communication that emphasize compassion, responsibility, and soft power engagement. The results reveal that Islamic journalistic communication offers a transformative model to counter stereotypes, foster mutual respect, and enhance transnational solidarity. This study contributes to the broader academic discourse on Islamic media ethics, intercultural dialogue, and religion-based peacebuilding by proposing a theoretical framework for ethical Islamic journalism applicable in other multicultural societies across Southeast Asia.

Abstract:This study examines the role of waste banks in enhancing the economic value of household waste while promoting environmental sustainability. Focusing on the waste bank implemented in Susukan Siroto, East Ungaran District,…
, Semarang Regency, Indonesia, the research evaluates its impact on the community's waste management practices and economic potential. The descriptive qualitative method was employed, involving interviews with 30 participants from the Family Empowerment and Welfare Group. Findings reveal that waste banks effectively increase awareness about waste sorting and recycling. Through systematic waste management, including sorting and depositing waste, communities gained both financial benefits and environmental improvements. Data from two implementation phases (June and August 2024) show a significant increase in waste deposits and financial returns for participants. Inorganic waste, such as plastic bottles, used cooking oil, and boxes, were transformed into valuable commodities, demonstrating the circular economy concept. The study highlights the importance of community involvement and education in achieving sustainable waste management. Waste banks not only reduce waste volume at landfills but also contribute to economic resilience, environmental conservation, and social harmony. The findings suggest that waste banks serve as a practical model for waste valorization, aligning with sustainable development goals.
Abstract:This study aims to determine the relationship between self-compassion and prosocial behavior in late adolescents in DKI Jakarta. The researcher employed a quantitative approach and utilized purposive sampling to select 400…
00 subjects aged 18-21 years who lived in DKI Jakarta. Data were collected using the Prosocial Behavior Scale (PBS) and the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS). The data processing involved hypothesis testing through the Pearson correlation test. The results revealed a significant positive relationship between self-compassion and prosocial behavior, with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.107 and a p-value of 0.032, which is less than the significance level of 0.05. These findings suggest that higher levels of self-compassion are associated with greater prosocial behavior in late adolescents in this region. This research highlights the importance of fostering self-compassion as a potential means to enhance prosocial behavior among adolescents. Given the cultural context of DKI Jakarta, where communal values and social harmony are emphasized, self-compassion may play a crucial role in promoting positive social interactions and behaviors. Future studies could further explore the underlying mechanisms of this relationship and consider interventions to cultivate self-compassion in adolescents to support their social development and well-being.

esearch, this article synthesizes various contemporary management literatures and Islamic leadership treasures to find the most effective leadership model for educational institution development. The results show that transformational leadership is crucial in accelerating vision, innovation, and organizational culture change oriented towards quality (itqan). On the other hand, servant leadership provides a foundation for strengthening teamwork through a service-oriented approach (khidmah) and empathy, which is aligned with prophetic values. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that the synergy between transformational vision and a service-oriented spirit is the key to building a sustainable quality culture in Islamic educational institutions, where leaders are able to encourage organizational achievement while maintaining internal team harmony through the spirit of ukhuwah and ta’awun.
Abstract:This study aims to evaluate the implementation of Islamic Religious Education (Pendidikan Agama Islam/PAI) learning in strengthening students’ religious moderation at SMP Islam Terpadu Bangkinang. Religious moderation is…
is conceptualized as a religious attitude that emphasizes balance, tolerance, justice, and respect for diversity, which are essential values in maintaining social harmony within pluralistic societies. In the Indonesian educational context, Islamic Religious Education plays a strategic role not only in developing students’ religious knowledge but also in shaping moderate religious attitudes that prevent intolerance and extremism. Therefore, systematic evaluation of PAI learning is crucial to ensure that religious moderation values are effectively internalized by students.
This study employs a qualitative approach with an evaluative research design to comprehensively examine how religious moderation values are integrated into PAI learning. The evaluation focuses on three main aspects: learning planning, learning implementation, and learning evaluation. Data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews with Islamic Religious Education teachers and students, and documentation analysis of learning instruments such as lesson plans, syllabi, and assessment tools. These data collection techniques were employed to obtain an in-depth understanding of instructional practices, teacher–student interactions, and assessment strategies related to the cultivation of religious moderation values. Data analysis was conducted using an interactive model involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing to ensure systematic and credible findings.
The findings reveal that PAI learning at SMP Islam Terpadu Bangkinang has integrated religious moderation values into learning objectives and instructional planning. Teachers explicitly formulate learning goals that emphasize tolerance, balance, and mutual respect, while learning materials are contextualized to students’ social realities. During the learning implementation stage, teachers apply dialogical and participatory teaching methods, such as discussions and case-based learning, to encourage students to critically reflect on religious issues and social diversity. These approaches provide students with opportunities to understand differing perspectives and develop moderate religious attitudes in a reflective and respectful manner.
However, the study also identifies several challenges in the implementation of religious moderation-based learning. The use of contextual and innovative instructional methods remains limited, and learning activities tend to rely on conventional approaches. Moreover, the evaluation of religious moderation attitudes has not yet been conducted systematically. Assessment instruments primarily focus on cognitive achievement, while affective and attitudinal dimensions—such as tolerance, openness, and balanced religious behavior—are not comprehensively measured using structured indicators or rubrics. This limitation affects the accuracy of evaluating students’ overall development of religious moderation.
This study concludes that continuous and systematic evaluation of Islamic Religious Education learning is essential to enhance the effectiveness of strengthening religious moderation among students. The development of more comprehensive, contextual, and sustainable assessment instruments is necessary to holistically measure students’ cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions. In addition, the adoption of more dynamic and participatory instructional strategies is recommended to support deeper internalization of religious moderation values. The findings of this study contribute to the discourse on Islamic education and religious moderation by providing empirical insights into evaluative practices at the secondary school level and offering practical implications for improving PAI learning in pluralistic educational settings.
Abstract:Traditional marriage traditions are an important manifestation of maintaining the sustainability of local social and cultural values. One traditional practice still maintained by the Sipirok community is the mengumpar ruji…
ji activity as part of the dowry giving process. This activity is not only ceremonial, but also contains social, symbolic, and normative meanings that function as a mechanism for binding relationships between families. This study aims to analyze the meaning, function, and position of the mengumpar ruji activity in the Sipirok community's traditional marriage system. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive-analytical approach, through literature review and normative analysis of traditional practices. The results show that mengumpar ruji is a symbol of sincerity, responsibility, and social recognition from the man towards the woman and her family. This tradition also functions as an instrument of social legitimacy in Sipirok traditional marriage. Thus, mengumpar ruji has a strategic role in maintaining social harmony and the sustainability of customary law amidst the social changes of modern society.
Abstract:This study investigates the forms and functions of illocutionary acts in the film Norah (2023) using a qualitative descriptive approach. The research problem centers on how dialogic interactions and rural Saudi socio-cultural…
tural contexts shape the distribution of illocutionary types. Data were collected via observation and note-taking, then classified according to Searle’s five categories (assertive, directive, commissive, expressive, declarative) and analyzed through three stages: data collection, analysis, and presentation. The findings reveal that illocutionary speech acts in the film Norah are dominated by directives in the form of commands, prohibitions, and invitations, which highlight the speaker’s role in controlling actions. In addition, expressive and commissive acts appear in the form of advice, requests, and polite expressions that function to maintain harmony and interpersonal closeness. Overall, the use of illocutionary acts in the film reflects social relations and the dynamics of everyday interaction in rural Arab society.
Abstract:This study analyzes the interpersonal language actions used by students in class interactions at SMP Negeri 5 Manuju with the Functional Systemic Linguistics (LSF) approach. This approach emphasizes the role of language…
as a tool to build social meaning and facilitate interaction in the context of learning. The purpose of the research is to understand how students use language to communicate, coordinate, and negotiate meaning in learning activities. The research method used is qualitative descriptive with data collection through direct observation of classroom interactions, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and documentation in the form of recordings and field notes. Data analysis is carried out interactively through the stages of collection, reduction, presentation, and extraction of meaning from interpersonal utterances that appear in learning. The results showed that students' interpersonal language actions were realized through three types of mood clauses: interrogative, used to ask questions and ask for clarification; declarative, used to convey an opinion or information; and imperative, used to direct group work with mitigation to maintain social harmony. The function of this language act is not only to convey information, but also to build social relationships, organize group collaboration, and provide subtle approval or support. These findings provide an overview of how language plays a role in shaping communicative and collaborative interactions in the classroom.
