2025-04-12T18:13:23+07:00

This study aims to examine the focus of scientific studies related to teacher competence and professionalism in the perspective of education, especially in the context of Islamic education. The results of the study show that the themes of teacher professionalism and teacher competence are the center of attention in the literature, which is closely linked to important aspects such as pedagogic competence, educator professional ethics, quality of education, and the social image of teachers. In addition, the analysis of temporal developments shows a shift in focus from fundamental issues to more contextual and applicative topics, such as strengthening writing competence and improving the quality of public perception of educational institutions. These findings show that the development of teacher professionalism cannot be separated from the integration of Islamic values, as well as the importance of building the character of educators who excel spiritually, morally, and intellectually. This study is expected to be a strategic reference for curriculum development, improving the quality of Islamic education, and forming ideal teachers in the perspective of Islamic values.

2025-04-17T20:22:49+07:00

This study aims to explore the role of inclusive Islamic education in fostering tolerance among Generation Z within a multicultural society. Generation Z, born and raised in the era of globalization and digitalization, faces complex challenges related to cultural, religious, and ideological diversity. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach through case studies in several junior and senior high schools, this research examines how curriculum design, teaching methods, and the application of moderate Islamic values are integrated into Islamic Religious Education classrooms. The findings reveal that an inclusive approach to Islamic education—emphasizing the values of rahmatan lil ‘alamin (mercy to all creation), respect for differences, and interfaith dialogue—plays a significant role in shaping tolerant, open-minded, and diversity-appreciating attitudes among students. The study recommends strengthening the role of teachers as dialogue facilitators, developing contextual learning materials, and promoting cross-cultural collaboration as effective strategies to nurture a harmonious and pluralistic society

2025-04-23T10:50:34+07:00

Moral education plays a crucial role in shaping an individual's personality, behavior, and spiritual awareness. This process is continuous and serves as a guide for living in accordance with ethical values. These values are not only conveyed through formal education but are also reflected in literary works that embody Islamic moral teachings. One such work is Ayah… Kisah Buya Hamka by Irfan Hamka, which presents real-life stories rich in moral and religious values. This study aims to explore the moral education values reflected in the book based on Islamic ethical principles. A qualitative approach was employed using a literature review method. Data were collected through documentation and analyzed using content analysis techniques. The findings reveal six main categories of moral education: (1) Morality towards God, including piety, sincerity, and positive thinking (ḥusn al-ẓann); (2) Morality towards the Prophet, through the habitual recitation of blessings (ṣalawāt); (3) Morality towards oneself, involving honesty and courage; (4) Morality towards others, such as filial piety, helping others, and forgiveness; (5) Morality towards the nation, including patriotism and loyalty; and (6) Morality towards the environment, such as kindness to animals. These results indicate that Islamic-themed literary works can serve as effective media for instilling and reinforcing moral values in daily life.

THE ROLE OF CHILDREN TO PARENTS A PERSPECTIVE FROM THE QURAN SURAH AL ISRA, VERSES 23-24

2025-05-07T19:30:41+07:00

This article discusses the role of children towards parents from the perspective of the Qur'an, especially based on Surah Al-Isra, verses 23-24. In this verse, Allah SWT commands humans to worship only Him and to be kind to both parents with respect and affection. Children are required not to say harsh words such as "ah" or shout at their parents, especially when they are elderly. An attitude of humility, gentleness in speech, and praying for mercy for parents are real forms of filial piety. This command emphasizes the importance of harmonious relationships in the family as a moral and spiritual foundation, while also emphasizing that devotion to parents has a very high position after monotheism to Allah. This article also highlights the implications of moral education contained in this verse, which teaches children to respect and love their parents as a form of gratitude for their services in educating and caring for them since childhood.
