MARKETING COMMUNICATION MODEL OF THE MUHAMMADIYAH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION IN MEDAN CITY IN BUILDING THE ORGANIZATION'S BRAND IMAGE
This study aims to analyze the marketing communication model implemented by Muhammadiyah in Medan City to build its brand image as a da’wah (Islamic propagation) organization that is adaptive to contemporary developments. The research is motivated by the need for non profit, especially religious, organizations to formulate effective communication strategies amidst rapid digital transformation and changing communication patterns in society. The study is grounded in key theoretical frameworks,including organizational communication theory, marketing communication theory, and brand image theory. A descriptive qualitative approach was adopted, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. Thematic analysis was employed using coding techniques to identify key themes based on informant narratives. The findings reveal that Muhammadiyah’s marketing communication model in Medan is built through synergy between internal organizational communication, which emphasizes a collective collegial approach, and external communication through social and mass media as the main channels for disseminating da’wah messages. Core values of da’wah bil hal da’wah through concrete actions such as education, healthcare, and community empowerment form the foundation for shaping a positive public perception of Muhammadiyah. However, several challenges remain, such as low levels of digital literacy among grassroots communities and cultural resistance to change. This study recommends strengthening digital communication capacity, adopting educational and participatory approaches to delivering religious messages, and implementing inclusive strategies to engage marginalized groups. translatekan kebahasa Indonesia.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SYIRKAH ABDAN AGREEMENT IN COOPERATION BETWEEN MAKEUP ARTISTS AND TENT ENTREPRENEURS IN PERCUT SEI TUAN DISTRICT, DELI SERDANG REGENCY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE HANAFI SCHOOL
This research is motivated by the existence of cooperation practices carried out by party vendors such as cooperation between makeup artists and tent entrepreneurs in Percut Sei Tuan District, Deli Serdang Regency. This cooperation is usually carried out verbally or informally, namely via cellphone or via WhatsApp and there is no written agreement in it so that it often triggers disputes such as payment problems and others. This study aims to analyze how the implementation of the syirkah abdan contract in cooperation between makeup artists and tent entrepreneurs in Percut Sei Tuan District, Deli Serdang Regency and examine it from the perspective of the Hanafi school of thought. The syirkah contract in this cooperation is a form of service-based business partnership, namely each party contributes from their work or expertise. The research method used is empirical juridical by examining the practice of cooperation that occurs directly in the community using interview data collection techniques, observations and documentation studies to obtain primary and secondary data. Based on the results of the study, it shows that the practice of syirkah abdan in this area is usually carried out verbally so that it is prone to causing disputes. The implementation of syirkah abdan in this area is considered legally syar'i when it fulfills the elements of ijab qabul and joint contribution according to the Hanafi school of thought. However, breaking the agreement by one of the parties, such as running away and taking the profits, makes the agreement on this collaboration fasakh (void) and the aggrieved party has the right to claim its rights through a dispute resolution mechanism (qadha). The recommendation from this research is the need to form a written contract in an agreement as well as a deep understanding of muamalah fiqh law in order to avoid disputes in collaborative activities.

From Taqlid to Inclusion: The Transformation of Islamic Education During the Islamic Renewal in Egypt
The transformation of Islamic educational thought during the Islamic Renewal (tajdid) period in Egypt (19th to early 20th century) was an intellectual response to Western modernity, colonialism, and the scholarly stagnation plaguing the Islamic world. This research focuses on the shift from a taqlid paradigm towards an inclusive approach. It employs a qualitative approach with historical-descriptive analysis of primary and secondary texts and documents to trace how reformist thinkers, such as Muhammad Abduh and Rashid Rida, criticized intellectual stagnation and called for a more contextual and adaptive reinterpretation of Islamic teachings. The analysis in this study explains that the renewal movement not only reformed the curriculum of Islamic education—by integrating religious sciences and modern science—but also introduced values of inclusivity. These transformative efforts included the diversification of disciplines taught, the introduction of more dialogical and critical teaching methods, and the integration of modern values such as rationality, tolerance, gender equality, acceptance of intellectual plurality, and interfaith dialogue. Nevertheless, this process was not without resistance and internal debates. The shift towards inclusivity in Egyptian Islamic education, marked by efforts to open up to new ideas and involve diverse perspectives, represents a reconstruction of Islamic epistemology relevant to modernity, and simultaneously a significant evolution in facing constantly changing social and intellectual dynamics. This article concludes that the legacy of Islamic educational thought during the renewal period in Egypt offers a transformative model for the development of contemporary Islamic education that balances tradition and progress. This transformation is not just about curriculum changes, but also about reconceptualizing the role of Islamic education in shaping a more progressive and open society.

LEGAL PROTECTION FOR TOURIST SECURITY AND SAFETY AT THE INTERNATIONAL SURFING COMPETITION EVENT FROM THE MAQASHID SYARIAH PERSPECTIVE (CASE STUDY OF AFULU VILLAGE, AFULU DISTRICT, NORTH NIAS REGENCY)
The tourism industry is a prospective commodity that is considered to have an important role in national development, but tourist attractions can also pose a risk of danger to tourists, therefore to support safety and security at tourist destinations, Law Number 10 of 2009 concerning tourism and Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning consumer protection have been enacted in order to guarantee and provide security and safety for tourists. This study aims to determine the form of security facilities available at the international surfing event held in Afulu District, North Nias, and what form of protection concept is based on the Maqashid Syariah perspective. The type of research is empirical legal research with a living case studies approach, statute approach and conceptual approach. The results of this study indicate that the facilities at the international surfing event held in North Nias have not met the safety and security aspects such as the lack of a monitoring tower, a place to store goods, a route to tourist attractions, the provision of clinics or First Aid for Accidents (P3K) permanently. So, based on the perspective of Maqashid Syariah, especially from the concept of hifz al-nafs (protecting the soul) and hifz al-mal (protecting property), the organizers of the International Surfing Event should coordinate with the beach tourism managers and must provide security and safety facilities in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

THE USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN DEVELOPING CULINARY MSMEs IN BANDAR SELAMAT VILLAGE, MEDAN TEMBUNG DISTRICT
Digital transformation has encouraged Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to adopt social media as a communication and marketing strategy. However, the use of social media by MSMEs, particularly in semi-urban areas such as Bandar Selamat Village, still faces various challenges. This study aims to analyze the role of social media in improving the performance of culinary MSMEs, by highlighting its impact on customer growth, increased sales, and business development. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data was collected through observation, in-depth interviews with six MSMEs, and documentation of their digital business activities. The results show that active and strategic use of social media has a positive impact on business performance, especially in aspects of customer interaction and brand presence. These findings support digital marketing communication theory and strengthen empirical evidence regarding the importance of digital literacy in MSME development. This study also reveals variations in effectiveness among business actors influenced by digital skills and content strategies. Implications of this study include the need for social media training for MSMEs and support for an inclusive digital ecosystem. Further research is recommended to cover a wider range of regions and business sectors to gain a more comprehensive understanding.

NIGHT MARKET MANAGERS' RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS CONSUMER SAFETY STANDARDS AT THE NAGA NUSANTARA NIGHT MARKET (MMTC) FROM THE MAQASID SYARIAH PERSPECTIVE
Night markets are one of the alternative forms of recreation for the public, offering various amusement rides at affordable prices. However, behind their appeal, night markets also carry significant safety risks for visitors, particularly related to the amusement rides. This study aims to examine the liability of the organizer regarding consumer safety standards for those harmed in accidents involving amusement rides at the Naga Nusantara Night Market, viewed from the perspective of Maqasid Shariah. The research method used is empirical legal research with a sociological approach, through the collection of primary data from direct interviews. The findings show that the lack of safety procedures and negligence in ride maintenance resulted in physical injury to consumers, which was resolved by providing compensation, representing a form of civil liability. From the perspective of Maqasid Shariah, however, such incidents violate the principle of ḥifẓ al-nafs (protection of life), which is one of the main objectives of Islamic law. Therefore, increased supervision, regular inspections, and safety education are necessary to ensure consumer rights and prevent similar incidents from recurring.

THE UTILIZATION OF THE COMMENT FEATURE ON INSTAGRAM ACCOUNTS IN ADVOCATING FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT IN THE CITY OF TEBING TINGGI (A STUDY ON THE INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT @TEBINGTINGGIKU)
When reflecting on the state of law enforcement in Indonesia, it becomes apparent—after reviewing various cases—that the system has not functioned effectively, and in fact, may be considered poor. The weakness of law enforcement in Indonesia is reflected in the unresolved major cases, one of which is the entrenched practice of corruption, the perpetrators of which are rarely held accountable. This reality stands in stark contrast to the treatment of cases involving ordinary citizens, where law enforcement officers are notably more responsive. As is widely known, individuals involved in corruption often belong to the upper class—officials and affluent individuals—who possess the power to interfere with the effectiveness of law enforcement itself. This study employs a qualitative approach, where data in the form of narrative descriptions or attachments are collected and then analyzed descriptively. Descriptive qualitative research is a method that describes situations and events (Nurdiansyah and Rugoyah, 2021). The data collected comprise words, images, and not numerical values. These data may originate from interview transcripts, field notes, photographs, personal documents, memos, and other official documents. These informants included Jaka, the owner of the Instagram account @tebingtinggiku, and two followers, namely @chindykhr_ and @nwanny12, who emphasized that the use of social media by the @tebingtinggiku account as a platform for public service information has had a significant impact on the law enforcement process in the City of Tebing Tinggi. This platform has been utilized optimally to ensure more effective law enforcement efforts in the region.

PROTECTION OF UNCERTIFIED WAQF LAND ASSETS: THE PERSPECTIVE OF LAW NUMBER 41 OF 2004 CONCERNING WAQF (STUDY OF BATU BARA REGENCY)
This paper raises the issue of legal protection for uncertified waqf land assets in Batu Bara Regency. Uncertified waqf land has the potential to cause disputes and misuse due to the lack of formal legal force. Waqf land assets are objects that have high economic value for someone who is given by a certain person to another. Waqf land assets have a value that can provide for a person's life when given, but become problematic when they have not been legally legalized through a certificate. These uncertified waqf land assets are still common among the community, especially in Batu Bara Regency. In Batu Bara Regency, there are several uncertified waqf land assets. Based on data obtained from the Ministry of Religious Affairs of North Sumatra Province in 2025 in Batu Bara Regency, it is known that there are a total of 594 waqf land assets. Of this total, there are 327 certified waqf land assets and 267 uncertified waqf land assets. Thus, there are still problems regarding uncertified waqf land assets. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the objective conditions of waqf land asset protection in Batu Bara Regency, how is the protection of uncertified waqf land assets according to the perspective of Law Number 41 of 2004 concerning Waqf in Batu Bara Regency and the factors causing uncertified waqf land assets in Batu Bara Regency. The research method used by the researcher in this journal article is a qualitative research method with an analytical descriptive approach. Data collection in this study uses primary data and secondary data. The primary data used by the researcher is by going directly to the field through observation and interviews, while the secondary data carried out by the researcher is by using books, journal articles and supporting documents. The data analysis techniques used are data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of this study indicate that the protection of uncertified waqf land assets in Batu Bara Regency based on the perspective of Law Number 41 of 2004 concerning waqf is The objective condition of waqf land assets in Batu Bara Regency can be seen through its management. Waqf land assets are used for the benefit of humanity such as the construction of prayer rooms, mosques, cemeteries, schools and others. Waqf land that does not yet have a certificate in Batu Bara can be proven by the Waqf Pledge Deed (AIW) and the Waqf Pledge Deed Replacement Deed (APAIW) issued by the Waqf Pledge Deed Making Official (PPAIW). The factors causing uncertified waqf land assets in Batu Bara Regency are the low public understanding of the urgency of waqf land certification, complex administrative procedures, and high costs that must be incurred.

Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and digital documentation, and analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The results indicate that this community implements a structured digital da'wah strategy through three main stages: planning based on social trends and the Islamic calendar; implementing contextual, visual, and communicative content through Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube; and evaluating using data insights and audience engagement. Two-way communication practices and internal-external collaboration are key elements in strengthening the loyalty of digital congregations and creating a da'wah narrative that is moderate, inclusive, and relevant to the spiritual needs of digital natives. This study emphasizes the importance of integrating theological competence, technological skills, and communication strategies in managing digital da'wah. These findings provide theoretical contributions to the development of a network-based da'wah management model and provide practical implications for religious organizations in designing sustainable digital da'wah strategies amidst the complexities of the Society 5.0 era.

Analysis of the Role of Social Media in Increasing the Tourist Attraction of Nakny Funland
This research aims to analyze the social media promotion strategies implemented by Nakny Funland in increasing the attraction and interest in visiting tourists. Using a qualitative approach and case study method, this research explores the planning, implementation and effectiveness of digital promotions carried out at these educational and cultural-based tourist attractions. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews with managers and analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana models, and its validity was tested through source triangulation. The research results show that Nakny Funland synergistically integrates marketing mix elements (4Ps) in their digital strategy: products are packaged through narrative visual content on Instagram and TikTok; prices are managed through bundling promotions and thematic discounts; information distribution is carried out completely online; and promotion becomes the core of the strategy through platform segmentation, user-generated content (UGC) based content, and visual emotional campaigns. Social media not only functions as a one-way communication tool, but also as a two-way interaction space that builds emotional attachment and increases visitor loyalty. Data-driven evaluations, such as social media insights and visit correlation, strengthen the effectiveness of this strategy. This research shows that an adaptive and data-based "digital first" promotion model can be a blueprint for managing similar tourist attractions in the competitive digital marketing era.

THE ROLE OF CAREGIVER COMMUNICATION IN SHAPING INDEPENDENT ATTITUDES IN FOSTERED CHILDREN (CASE STUDY AT THE PUTRI SITI AISYAH AEK KANOPAN ORPHANAGE)
Children living in orphanages generally come from underprivileged family backgrounds and therefore require special attention and guidance. This study aims to analyze the role of caregiver communication in shaping the independence of foster children at Putri Siti Aisyah Orphanage in Aek Kanopan. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques including interviews, observation, and documentation. The findings show that caregivers train the children to become independent by instilling discipline in daily activities. The communication established between caregivers and foster children plays a crucial role in fostering the children’s independence. The communication approach adopted by caregivers combines both humanistic and authoritative methods, emphasizing empathy as well as firmness in nurturing. The foster children exhibit positive development in terms of behavior, responsibility, and social skills. Communication challenges such as the children’s reserved attitudes, diverse backgrounds, and environmental influences can be overcome through patient and consistent communication. This study affirms that caregivers function not only as guides but also as companions who support the process of developing children’s independence. The findings highlight the importance of continuous and effective communication in supporting the growth of foster children into self-reliant individuals.

HMI'S ROLE IN ADVOCACY ON NATIONAL ISSUES: A REVIEW OF ACTIVISM AND PUBLIC COMMUNICATION
This study examines the role of the Islamic Students Association (HMI) in advocating for national issues through the perspectives of student activism and public communication. As a student organization with a long history in Indonesia's socio-political movements, HMI plays a strategic role in shaping public opinion and promoting policy change. Using a qualitative approach and case study method, this study examines the dynamics of the HMI movement in responding to national issues such as democracy, social justice, and freedom of expression. Data were obtained through documentation of activities, observation of official social media, and analysis of mass media reporting on HMI actions. The primary focus of the analysis was directed at activism patterns, public communication strategies, and the resulting media narratives. The findings indicate that the success of HMI's advocacy is influenced by its ability to contextually articulate issues, build strategic communication networks with the media, and integrate Islamic values as the moral foundation of the movement. Furthermore, the use of social media is an important instrument in disseminating messages and mobilizing public support. This study strengthens understanding of the relationship between student movements, political communication, and public relations strategies in a democratic space. It also offers practical recommendations for HMI to develop a communication approach that is adaptive to social and technological change. Thus, HMI's role in advocating national issues is understood not only as a response to the political situation, but as an effort to build a structured and sustainable national discourse.

ANALYSIS OF COMMUNICATION ETHICS FOR GENERATION Z IN PATUMBAK DISTRICT, DELI SERDANG REGENCY
This study aims to analyze the communication ethics of Generation Z in Patumbak District, Deli Serdang Regency, both in direct and digital communication, especially social media, with an approach of ethical values in Islam. Generation Z is known as digital natives who are very close to information technology, but this closeness also influences communication patterns and the application of ethical values. The study uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation, and triangulation of sources is carried out to test the validity of the data. The results of the study indicate a shift in the communication ethics of Generation Z, both in face-to-face interactions that tend to decrease in terms of politeness, empathy, and emotional involvement, as well as in digital communication that is vulnerable to free expression without ethical considerations. In the Islamic context, the principles of qaulan are an important reference in forming polite and civilized communication. Therefore, an understanding of communication ethics based on moral and religious values needs to be strengthened to maintain the quality of communication of Generation Z in the digital era.

GENDER BIAS IN THE JOURNALISM PROFESSION AGAINST WOMEN IN MEDAN CITY
This study aims to answer the following question: what forms and mechanisms of gender bias are experienced by female journalists in Medan, and how do these biases impact their roles and positions within the field of journalism? Employing a qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. The findings reveal that female journalists in Medan face systemic inequalities, including gender-based task segregation, male dominance in strategic editorial positions, and inadequate protection against harassment and workplace discrimination. Furthermore, prevailing social and cultural norms reinforce domestic expectations of women, which significantly restrict their mobility and career advancement in journalism. These findings affirm the relevance of structural feminist theory and the intersectionality framework, while offering practical contributions for the development of gender-responsive media policies. The study recommends revising internal media policies and strengthening advocacy networks to create a more equitable, inclusive, and discrimination-free professional environment for female journalists.

The Dynamics of Self-Disclosure in Adolescents with Mental Health Problems through the Instagram Account Into the Light
This study aims to describe the dynamics of self-disclosure carried out by adolescents facing mental health challenges through social media, with the Into the Light account serving as a contextual space that represents these practices. This research adopts a qualitative case study approach that allows for an in-depth exploration of participants’ subjective experiences.

Factors such as emotional needs, trust levels, past experiences, and perceptions of a safe digital space influence adolescents’ decisions to engage in self-disclosure. Although the Into the Light account was not directly involved as a participatory object in this research, its presence provides context for understanding digital spaces that support openness. This study contributes to broadening the understanding of how social media, as a supportive and inclusive environment, can promote adolescent mental health.

This study aims to analyze intercultural communication between Muslim and non-Muslim students within the multicultural environment of Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara (UMSU). In both academic and social interactions, cultural and religious diversity can be both a potential and a challenge in establishing effective communication. This research employs a qualitative approach using a case study method, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. The findings reveal that the effectiveness of intercultural communication is influenced by several factors, including individual cultural competence, empathy and openness, stereotypes and prejudices, religious symbols, and the campus social environment. The forms of communication observed include formal and informal verbal communication, non-verbal communication, and symbolic cultural and religious expressions. The study concludes that successful intercultural communication requires institutional support, inclusive interaction spaces, and mutual respect among students. These findings are expected to serve as input for higher education institutions in strengthening multicultural and tolerant practices on campus.

SEMIOTIC ANALYSIS OF RELIGIOUS SCENES IN THE FILM "SURAT KECIL UNTUK TUHAN"
This study aims to examine the symbolic meanings within religious scenes in the film Surat Kecil untuk Tuhan (A Little Letter to God) using Roland Barthes' semiotic approach. The film, based on the true story of a teenage girl named Keke who suffers from cancer, presents various religious symbols such as prayer, places of worship, a letter to God, and other spiritual expressions. The analysis is conducted through three levels of meaning: denotative (literal meaning), connotative (emotional and cultural meaning), and myth (ideological meaning). The findings reveal that these religious symbols are not merely decorative visual elements but serve as powerful conveyors of spiritual messages about faith, hope, sacrifice, and tolerance. The film effectively constructs a touching and humanistic religious narrative, offering viewers a medium for reflection on the values of life and spirituality.

Developing Islamic Organizational Communication in the Digital Era: A Systematic Literature Review Approach
Digital transformation has fundamentally changed the way organizations communicate, including in the context of Islamic value-based organizations. Islamic organizational communication faces the challenge of remaining technologically relevant without losing its ethical and spiritual dimensions. This study aims to synthesize various academic findings on Islamic organizational communication in the digital era using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. Data were collected from 1,000 scientific publications in the last five years through the Publish or Perish application , then analyzed using the VOSviewer bibliometric tool to identify thematic patterns, temporal dynamics, and concept density. The findings show that the literature is concentrated on two main poles: structural-managerial aspects and digital da'wah communication. However, there is still fragmentation of studies and the absence of a conceptual model that systematically integrates Islamic values in digital organizational communication. This study uses two main theoretical frameworks: Cultural Approach to Organizations and Systems Theory in Organizational Communication , which together explain how Islamic communication can be seen as a system of values and symbols that are adaptive to environmental changes. The contribution of this research lies in providing a scientific synthesis that not only enriches academic discourse but also becomes a practical basis for the development of contextual, ethical, and sustainable Islamic communication strategies in the digital era. These findings are expected to be a basis for further research and the formulation of organizational communication policies based on Islamic values that are relevant to the challenges of the times.

Supporting factors include the creativity of the social media team and cross-sectoral collaborations, while challenges include limited funding and declining youth interest in traditional games. This study concludes that organizational communication strategies grounded in local cultural values and adaptive digital approaches are crucial for cultural preservation in the modern era.

CONSUMER PROTECTION FROM MISLEADING ADVERTISING ON THE TIKTOK DIGITAL PLATFORM: IBN TAIMİYAH'S PERSPECTIVE
The development of digital technology has led to the emergence of various social media platforms that are used as a platform for widespread and massive product marketing. TikTok, as one of the most popular short video platforms among children and students, has become a highly effective yet risky promotional platform. One serious issue that has emerged is the practice of misleading advertising targeting young consumers with manipulative content that does not align with product facts. This phenomenon is further complicated by TikTok's lack of full oversight by the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI), and the weakness of national regulations in reaching cross-border digital platforms. As a result, many children as consumers are vulnerable to falling victim to false information, fabricated testimonials, and exaggerated product promises. This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of misleading advertising on TikTok from the perspective of Ibn Taymiyyah, specifically regarding the concept of fraud (tadlis) and the urgency of moral protection for consumers. This research is a normative juridical study supported by empirical facts, namely analyzing positive legal principles through the approach of Ibn Taymiyyah's texts and supporting it with relevant field data regarding misleading advertising practices on TikTok. The results of this study emphasize the importance of state involvement in overseeing digital transactions to protect vulnerable parties, particularly children, from losses due to advertising fraud. The concept of hisbah, developed by Ibn Taymiyyah, serves as a normative reference in developing a consumer protection system in the digital era. Therefore, this study concludes by recommending that the Indonesian government immediately expand the scope of consumer protection regulations on digital platforms, establish a dedicated supervisory authority, and promote digital literacy based on Islamic values of honesty and moral responsibility. This way, consumer protection, particularly for children and students, can be enforced fairly and sustainably.

Consumer Protection Against the Free Circulation of Blue Label Skincare in the Marketplace: A Sadd Adz-Dzari'ah Perspective
Blue-labeled skincare products freely available in the marketplace pose a serious problem because they contain active ingredients that should only be used under a doctor's prescription and supervision. Without medical supervision, consumers have the potential to experience negative health impacts. This study aims to examine consumer protection for this phenomenon through the Sadd Adz-Dzari'ah approach, namely the principle of prevention in Islamic law to avoid potential damage. As a normative study, the approach used regulations, regulations, and the concept of Sadd Adz-Dzari'ah. Data were collected through the concept of documentary studies and the data were collected and analyzed. Therefore, the results of the study indicate that blue-labeled skincare products are still freely sold in the marketplace and based on the Sadd Adz-Dzari'ah approach, there must be product withdrawal actions or sanctions against business actors who still distribute blue-labeled skincare products and the marketplace must block the store.

DOORSMEER BUSINESS RESPONSIBILITY FOR CUSTOMER LOSSES DUE TO WORKER NEGLIGENCE WAHBAH AZ ZUHAILI PERSPECTIVE (CASE STUDY: DOORSMEER PARAMAN MANDIRI, MEDAN AMPLAS)
Doorsmeer businesses have significant responsibilities and risks in providing vehicle washing services. These risks include negligence that causes losses to customers, such as cars falling due to a broken hydraulic support iron, accidentally pressing the gas pedal before turning off the engine, and cars colliding due to employees' carelessness. It is important to know what form of responsibility is given by the business owner for these losses. This study aims to determine the form of responsibility given by the business owner at doorsmeer Paraman Mandiri, Medan Amplas for customer losses from the perspective of Wahbah Az-Zuhaili. The type of research used is empirical juridical, namely research that examines the direct application of law to an event that occurs in society with qualitative research methods and data collection techniques through interviews and direct observation at doorsmeer. The results of this study indicate that the practice of compensation liability at doorsmeer Paraman Mandiri, Medan Amplas has reflected the principle of justice according to Wahbah Az-Zuhaili's view that liability for damage can be in the form of repairing damaged objects to be whole again. The repair can be done by replacing the same item or by returning the money as done by the owner of the Paraman Mandiri doormeer, namely repairing the damaged car part so that it is intact as before.

HISTORIOGRAPHY OF RELIGIOUS MODERATION (RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TJONG A FIE AND ISLAM IN NORTH SUMATRA 1880-1990)
This research examines the historiography of religious moderation through the relationship between Tjong A Fie and Islam in North Sumatra from 1880-1990. The main problem addresses the scarcity of in-depth studies on the role of non-Muslim figures in promoting interfaith harmony amidst historiography dominated by conflict narratives. Employing the historical method—including heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography—this study aims to uncover how Tjong A Fie, a Chinese entrepreneur, contributed to the development of Muslim communities and facilitated interfaith dialogue. Key findings indicate that Tjong A Fie actively supported the construction of Islamic worship facilities, funded religious activities, and built strong relationships with local religious scholars, creating a pragmatic and inclusive model of religious moderation. The conclusion reveals that his contributions offer a fresh perspective on the history of religious moderation in North Sumatra, highlighting the importance of non-formal leadership and philanthropy in shaping social cohesion.

ISLAMIC COMMUNICATION MESSAGES FOR THE MALAY TRADITIONAL PROPOSAL EVENT OF THE DELI COMMUNITY OF NORTH SUMATRA
This study aims to explore and understand the Islamic communication messages contained in the Malay traditional engagement ceremony among the Deli community, North Sumatra. This study uses a qualitative approach with field research methods, which allows researchers to directly engage in social and cultural observations and collect data from sources involved in the tradition. The main informants in this study consisted of Shafwan Hadi Umri, Aslim, and Tengku Ismail, who each provided scientific, cultural, and practical insights regarding the traditional engagement ceremony. Secondary data were obtained through a desk study of relevant literature. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings of this study indicate that the Deli Malay traditional engagement ceremony is not only a cultural ritual, but is also rich in Islamic messages, such as polite speech, respect for parents, honesty, and silaturahmi (silaturahmi). These messages are conveyed through cultural symbols, pantun (rhymes), and figurative language, reflecting polite and wise communication in accordance with Islamic teachings. The results of this study emphasize the importance of preserving this traditional tradition so that the younger generation remains connected to a cultural identity that is rich in Islamic values.

COMPANY LIABILITY FOR DEFAULT IN THE EVENT OF PACKAGES NOT ARRIVING AT THE ADDRESS BY COURIERS: A COMPILATION OF SHARIA ECONOMIC LAW PERSPECTIVE
This study examines the liability of delivery service companies for breach of contract in the form of undelivered packages to the intended address, from the perspective of the Compilation of Sharia Economic Law (Kompilasi Hukum Ekonomi Syariah/KHES), using a case study in Sei Litur Tasik Village, Sawit Seberang Subdistrict, Langkat Regency. The background of the research stems from increasing public complaints regarding delivery services failing to fulfill their obligations as agreed. The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of package delivery by the company, identify the factorx contributing to undelivered packages, examine the forms of corporate accountability for delivery failures, and assess such accountability according to the Compilation of Sharia Economic Lave. This research employs an empirical juridical method with a conceptual and statutory approach. Data were obtained through interviews, field observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate that, based on Chapter III Article 36 of KHES concerning breach of contract and Chapter IV Article 85 regarding the handover of goods as stated in the shipping receipt, the main causes of breach were courier negligence, data system errors, and weak internal supervision. According to Chapter III Article 38 of KIES, the forms of liability provided by the company typically involve compensation in the form of a shipping cost refund or package redelivery; however, these measures are often insufficient and lack transparency. From the perspective of the Compilation of Sharia Economic Law, such a breach violates the ijarah (service lease) contract and obliges the company to provide fair and accountable compensation. The conclusion of this research emphasizes the importance of applying Sharia principles in service-based businesses to uphold consumer rights and achieve justice

CONSUMER PROTECTION AGAINST COUNTERFEIT MOTORCYCLE OIL PRODUCTS FROM THE MAQASID SYARIAH PERSPECTIVE (CASE STUDY OF A WORKSHOP IN MEDAN AREA DISTRICT)
The circulation of counterfeit oil harms consumers because it reduces the quality of engine performance, increases the risk of vehicle damage, and jeopardizes user safety. The main factors influencing this phenomenon are low consumer awareness, weak supervision, and economic benefits for business actors. This study aims to examine consumer protection against the circulation of counterfeit oil in Medan Area Sub-district workshops from the Maqasid Syariah perspective, identify the factors causing it, and evaluate the effectiveness of consumer protection regulations. The method used is empirical juridical with a qualitative descriptive approach to describe consumer protection against counterfeit oil in practice. The results showed that the circulation of counterfeit oil contradicts the Maqasid Syariah principles, especially Hifz al-Mal (protection of wealth) because it causes financial losses, and Hifz an-Nafs (protection of life) because it increases the risk of accidents. Although consumer protection regulations already exist, supervision is still weak so that the circulation of counterfeit oil remains rampant. Therefore, more optimal law enforcement and increased consumer awareness are needed to be more selective in choosing the motorcycle oil products used.

CONSUMER PROTECTION AGAINST HALAL-LABELED MARSHMALLOW PRODUCTS CONTAINING PORK INGREDIENTS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF LAW NO. 33 OF 2014 CONCERNING HALAL PRODUCT GUARANTEES
Halal products are essential for Indonesian Muslims as a form of protection and consumption in accordance with sharia. However, public trust in the halal label was shaken after the BPJPH (Indonesian Food and Drug Authority) and the BPOM (Indonesian Food and Drug Authority) discovered nine halal-labeled marshmallow products that contained pork in early 2025. This study aims to analyze the legal protection provided to consumers for products that do not comply with the halal label, specifically from the perspective of Law No. 33 of 2014 concerning Halal Product Assurance. This study uses a normative juridical method with a statutory, conceptual, and case-based approach. The results show that businesses that illegally use the halal label can be subject to criminal and administrative sanctions in accordance with statutory provisions. On the other hand, consumers have the right to legal protection, both materially and spiritually. To address this issue, strengthening the monitoring system, digital transparency, consumer and business education, and strict law enforcement against violations of the halal label are needed. This research is expected to strengthen the halal product assurance system and increase legal awareness of all parties involved.

IMPLEMENTATION OF LAND DISPUTE RESOLUTION THROUGH CUSTOMARY LAW IN THE ACEH TAMIANG COMMUNITY
This study aims to determine how land dispute resolution through customary law mechanisms is implemented in the Aceh Tamiang community, identify the obstacles encountered, and formulate efforts that can be made to increase the effectiveness and legitimacy of customary law as a means of resolving agrarian conflicts. This study uses an empirical sociological approach. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with traditional leaders, village officials, community members, as well as customary decision documents and related regulations. The results indicate that the customary law land dispute resolution mechanism in Aceh Tamiang remains effective as a means of resolving conflicts quickly, affordably, and maintaining social harmony. This mechanism is implemented in stages through mediation at the village level and formal customary deliberations led by the imam mukim. However, its implementation faces several obstacles, including normative, structural, and cultural ones. Normative obstacles arise from the weak formal legal basis for the forced execution of customary decisions. Structural obstacles include the low capacity of customary institutions, limited decision documentation, and minimal support from the local government. Meanwhile, cultural barriers are caused by shifting social values, customary plurality, and non-compliance by those with economic or political power with customary decisions. Efforts that can be made to increase the effectiveness and legitimacy of customary law include: drafting district qanuns that more specifically regulate land dispute resolution mechanisms through customary law; increasing the capacity of customary officials through training and coaching; revitalizing the cultural values of deliberation within the community through ongoing socialization; and synergy between customary and formal institutions through administrative recognition of customary decisions. Thus, strengthening the role of customary law is expected to maintain local values, reduce agrarian conflict, and support national legal pluralism.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE REGULATION OF THE MINISTER OF MARINE AFFAIRS AND FISHERIES OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA NUMBER 18 OF 2021 CONCERNING MARINE FISHING EQUIPMENT IN THE CITY OF SIBOLGA FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SIYASAH DUSTURIYAH
This study analyzes the implementation of the Regulation of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries of the Republic of Indonesia No. 18 of 2021 concerning Fishing Equipment in Marine Waters in Sibolga City from the perspective of Siyasah Dusturiyah. The research applies a qualitative descriptive method, utilizing field observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. Findings indicate that the regulation aligns with sustainable fisheries management principles and has contributed to reducing destructive fishing practices, positively impacting coral reef restoration and fish stock recovery. However, effectiveness remains constrained by limited surveillance capacity, overlapping institutional authority, and the economic burden on small-scale fishers. From the Siyasah Dusturiyah perspective, the policy embodies maslahah ‘ammah but lacks full implementation of al-‘adl, amanah, and syura. Strengthening community participation, providing equitable economic support, and enhancing inter-agency coordination are recommended to balance environmental sustainability with fishermen’s welfare.

SETTLEMENT OF PROBLEMATIC FINANCING THROUGH RELIGIOUS COURTS (CASE STUDY OF BPRS AL-WASHLIYAH)
Problematic financing is a crucial challenge for the sustainability of Islamic banking, including the Sharia People's Financing Bank (BPRS). At BPRS Al Washliyah, the increasing phenomenon of problem financing has a direct impact on the bank's financial stability and has given rise to disputes between customers and financial institutions. This study aims to examine three main issues: (1) factors causing problem financing at BPRS Al Washliyah, (2) the mechanism for resolving problem financing through the Religious Court, and (3) the role and authority of the Religious Court in resolving problem financing disputes based on Islamic law and positive law in Indonesia. This study uses a juridical-empirical approach, with a legal research method that examines secondary data through literature studies and primary data through interviews and documentation at BPRS Al Washliyah and the Medan Religious Court. The results of the study indicate that problem financing is triggered by weak financing analysis, changes in customer economic conditions, and negligence in carrying out contracts. Dispute resolution through the Religious Court is carried out through a civil lawsuit with the legal basis of Law No. 21 of 2008 and the DSN-MUI Fatwa. Religious Courts play a crucial role in resolving Sharia economic disputes, not only as adjudicative institutions but also as guarantors of Sharia justice principles. This study concludes that the integration of Islamic legal principles and positive law through Religious Courts is an effective instrument in upholding justice and resolving problematic financing disputes in Sharia banking.

A REVIEW OF ISLAMIC CRIMINAL LAW ON THUGHTHROUGH ON THE NORTH SUMATRA-RIAU BORDER
Thuggery is a social phenomenon that often causes unrest and threatens public security, particularly in the North Sumatra-Riau border region. Thuggery in this region is often associated with violence, extortion, robbery, and threats carried out by groups or individuals. This study aims to examine thuggery from the perspective of Islamic criminal law, highlighting the causal factors, forms of action, and sanctions that can be imposed on perpetrators. The research uses a normative juridical method with a statutory and sociological approach. The results indicate that the main factors driving thuggery are difficult economic conditions, low levels of education, and weak law enforcement. In Islamic criminal law, acts of thuggery that contain elements of violence and threats to public security can be categorized as jarimah hirabah, namely crimes that damage public security and are considered major sins. Sanctions for perpetrators of hirabah are very severe, such as the death penalty, crucifixion, amputation, or exile, according to the severity of the crime committed, as stated in the Qur'an Surah Al-Maidah verse 33. This finding confirms that Islamic criminal law views thuggery as a serious crime that must be dealt with firmly to create security and public order. Effective law enforcement as well as a preventive and educational approach are essential to reduce the number of thuggery in the North Sumatra-Riau border region.

THE CONCEPT OF TOLERANCE FOR TRADITIONAL CUSTOMS IN ISLAM IN NORTH SUMATRA BUYA HAMKA'S PERSPECTIVE IN THE BOOK OF TAFSIR AL AZHAR
This study examines how the concept of tolerance of customs in North Sumatra in the perspective of Buya Hamka in Tafsir Al Azhar. This research is a qualitative research with a literature study approach (library research) and thematic interpretation (maudhu'i). Data were collected using documentation techniques, namely through reading, recording, and reviewing texts from primary and secondary sources relevant to the focus of the research. The results of this study indicate that Tolerance is the ability to respect the basic nature, beliefs, and behavior of others because Islamic teachings do not prohibit its followers from creating and implementing a custom in dealing with something that happens to them as long as the implementation does not conflict with Islamic teachings therefore Buya Hamka emphasized that customs are part of people's lives, but must be filtered with Islamic values. In the area of North Sumatra, especially in the Javanese tribe, many of the population still follow the mutih fast. Mutih fasting is not part of Islamic teachings that are sourced from the Qur'an and Sunnah. Buya Hamka's View on the "mutihan" Label: Rejected as a tool to divide Muslims; Fasting in traditional rituals (such as mutih) is not in accordance with the Sunnah and is considered bid'ah. General Principle: All religious practices must return to the foundations of the Quran and Sunnah, without any unsubstantiated religious innovations.

THE OBLIGATION TO USE A HOLDER FOR ONLINE MOTORCYCLE TICKET RIDERS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SADD ADZ DZARI'AH AND LAW NUMBER 22 OF 2009 CONCERNING TRAFFIC AND ROAD TRANSPORTATION
The use of mobile phones without holders while driving has become a common habit among online motorcycle taxi drivers. This practice is driven by job demands that require drivers to stay connected to the ride-hailing app, navigation, and customers. However, using a phone without a holder can disrupt concentration, increasing the risk of accidents and endangering both the rider and other road users. The absence of explicit regulations mandating the use of phone holders creates a regulatory gap with potentially harmful consequences. This study aims to analyze the safety risks and impacts of using phones without holders while driving, as well as examine the urgency of enforcing holder usage obligations from the perspective of Sadd adz-Dzari’ah (Blocking the Means to Harm) and its relevance to Law No. 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation. The research employs an empirical juridical approach with case study and sociological methods, collecting data through literature reviews and interviews. The findings indicate that using a phone without a holder while driving increases the risk of accidents for online motorcycle taxi drivers due to impaired concentration and vehicle control. From the perspective of Sadd adz-Dzari’ah, although using a phone without a holder is initially permissible (mubah), it leads to harm (mafsadat) and must therefore be prevented. Juridically, this practice also violates Article 106 Paragraph (1) of the Road Traffic and Transportation Law. Hence, the use of phone holders should be mandated as part of road safety standards.

PROTECTION OF MSMES AT THE BENGKEL MARKET IN SERDANG BEDAGAI REGENCY REGARDING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MEDAN-TEBING TINGGI TRANS SUMATRA TOLL ROAD, A PUBLIC PERSPECTIVE
The construction of the Trans–Sumatra Toll Road Medan–Tebing Tinggi segment, as part of Indonesia’s national strategic infrastructure agenda, has had a significant impact on the sustainability of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) around Pasar Bengkel, Serdang Bedagai Regency. Although intended to improve connectivity and logistics efficiency, the project has indirectly diverted traffic from local roads that previously served as vital economic arteries for local entrepreneurs. This study aims to analyze the impact of toll road development on MSMEs through the lens of maslahah within the framework of Islamic economic law. Using a normative-empirical legal research method, data were obtained through literature review, document analysis, and interviews with affected MSME actors. Findings show that MSMEs in the culinary and automotive service sectors have experienced declining revenues, workforce reductions, and even business closures. The maslahah analysis identifies three main dimensions of protection: dharuriyyat (safeguarding livelihoods), hajiyyat (ensuring business access), and tahsiniyyat (improving business quality). Local government policies have not been responsive and lack a long-term strategic approach. This study recommends maximizing the integration of MSMEs into rest areas and optimizing digital platforms.

MUSLIM FEMALE CONTENT CREATOR ON TIKTOK @HELWABASWEL AS AN INSPIRATION FOR OOTD TRENDS FOR STUDENTS
This study examines the phenomenon of Muslimah content creators on TikTok, particularly the @helwabaswel account, as a source of Outfit of the Day (OOTD) inspiration for students of the Islamic Communication and Broadcasting (KPI) Study Program, Faculty of Da'wah and Communication (FDK), UIN Sumatera Utara. The research aims to describe the characteristics of the OOTD content presented, analyze KPI students’ responses to the content, and assess its influence on their clothing styles. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The findings reveal that @helwabaswel’s OOTD content showcases modest fashion that aligns with Islamic principles, combining visual aesthetics, soft color trends, and subtly embedded da'wah messages. KPI students responded positively, using the content as a guide to dress stylishly yet modestly, while also motivating themselves to increase awareness of Islamic dressing. However, some informants remained critical of the commercial elements present in the content. These findings highlight that Muslimah content creators on TikTok serve not only as fashion icons but also as cultural da'wah agents, influencing the construction of identity and dress practices among young Muslim women in the university environment.

CONSUMER PROTECTION AGAINST GHOST SELLERS IN THE SHOPEE MARKETPLACE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF LAW NUMBER 8 OF 1999 CONCERNING CONSUMER PROTECTION AND COMPILATION OF SHARIA ECONOMIC LAW
The rapid development of information technology has driven the emergence of various forms of electronic commerce (e-commerce), including marketplace platforms such as Shopee. This online transaction model has transformed the interaction between sellers and buyers into a non-face-to-face system, thus creating new complexities in the legal relationship between businesses and consumers. Amidst this progress, the phenomenon of ghost sellers has emerged, namely fictitious sellers (fake store accounts) who are irresponsible and misuse the platform's identity and system to deceive consumers, one of which is by sending goods that do not match the description or not sending goods at all. This phenomenon is increasingly widespread with the increase in digital transactions on e-commerce platforms, especially during major promotional events such as Harbolnas and Ramadan Sale. This study aims to examine the analysis of ghost seller practices in the Shopee marketplace, the form of consumer protection for ghost sellers in the Shopee marketplace from the perspective of Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection and the Compilation of Sharia Economic Law, as well as Shopee's responsibility for losses experienced by consumers. This study uses a normative method with a statutory approach and a study of Islamic legal literature to analyze the responsibilities of businesses and protection of consumer rights. The results of the study indicate that the form of consumer protection that is harmed by ghost sellers on the Shopee platform is related to violations of the provisions of Articles 4, 7, 8 and 19 of the Consumer Protection Law (UUPK) which guarantees consumers' rights to comfort, security, correct and honest information, and products that comply with the agreement, and are prohibited in the KHES because they contain elements of fraud (tadlis) and ambiguity (gharar) as regulated in articles 22, 23, and 24 of the KHES. On the other hand, Shopee is responsible for consumer losses by providing protection through a complaint system, Shopee guarantee and a refund mechanism if the item does not match the description. However, if the transaction is carried out outside the official Shopee system, the loss is the responsibility of the consumer. Therefore, both in positive law and Islamic economic law, consumer protection is an obligation that must be enforced to maintain trust and fairness in online transactions.

MISUSE OF THE SARDINE FISH CRACKERS BRAND WITHOUT THE BUSINESS OWNER'S PERMISSION IN TEMBUNG VILLAGE, DSN FACT PERSPECTIVE NUMBER 1/MUNAS/VII/5/2005
Brands are an important part of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) that function not only as product identity, but also as a strategic instrument in marketing and legal protection. This study examines the practice of unauthorized misuse of the “Sardine Fish Crackers” brand in Tembung Village, Medan, and assesses its legal accountability from the perspective of Law Number 20 of 2016 and the DSN MUI Fatwa Number 1/MUNAS/VII/2005. The research method used is empirical juridical through interviews with business actors and analysis of related legal documents. The results of the study indicate that brand misuse occurs due to low legal literacy, cost and time constraints in brand registration, weak supervision, and the motive of instant profit. From a positive legal perspective, this action violates the exclusive rights of brand owners and can result in civil and criminal sanctions. Meanwhile, from an Islamic legal perspective, this action is categorized as unjust and haram because it violates the principle of property rights protection (huquq maliyyah). This research emphasizes the urgency of increasing legal awareness, enforcing regulations, and educating small business owners so that trademark abuse practices can be prevented and a fair and ethical business climate can be realized.

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SIMALUNGUN REGENCY GOVERNMENT IN PROVIDING ELECTRICITY FOR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AT SINAR BARU PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF SIYASAH DUSTURIYAH (REVIEW OF MINISTERIAL REGULATION OF EDUCATION AND CULTURE NUMBER
This study aims to analyze the responsibility of the Simalungun Regency Government in providing electricity for SD Negeri Sinar Baru based on the perspective of siyasah syar‘iyyah and Minister of Education Regulation (Permendikbud) Number 22 of 2023. Using an empirical research approach, data were obtained through interviews, observations, and document studies on the school’s condition, local policies, and technical barriers in the field. The findings reveal that SD Negeri Sinar Baru still lacks adequate electricity access due to geographical constraints, budget limitations, and logistical challenges. This condition negatively affects the quality of teaching and learning and contradicts the principles of ḥifẓ al-dīn, ḥifẓ al-‘aql, and ḥifẓ al-nasl in Maqāṣid al-Syarī‘ah, as well as the obligations stipulated in Article 9 paragraph (2) point g of Permendikbud Number 22 of 2023. The study recommends budget prioritization, cross-sector synergy, and the utilization of renewable energy to accelerate electricity provision for remote schools.

IMPLEMENTATION OF REGIONAL REGULATION OF NORTH SUMATRA PROVINCE NUMBER 1 OF 2019 CONCERNING FACILITATION OF PREVENTION OF ABUSE OF NARCOTICS, PSYCHOTROPICS, AND OTHER ADDICTIVE SUBSTANCES FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SIYASAH DUSTURIYAH
This study aims to analyze the implementation of North Sumatra Provincial Regulation Number 1 of 2019 concerning the Facilitation of the Prevention of Abuse of Narcotics, Psychotropics, and Other Addictive Substances (NAPZA) from a siyasah dusturiyah perspective. Using a qualitative approach with a combination of normative and empirical juridical, data were obtained through interviews, observations, and a review of legal documents and Islamic literature. The results show that this regulation has substantially emphasized the aspects of prevention, rehabilitation, and empowerment in line with the principles of maqashid al-syari'ah, especially the protection of the mind (hifz al-'aql) and soul (hifz al-nafs). However, the effectiveness of implementation is still low due to budget constraints, minimal rehabilitation facilities, weak coordination between agencies, and low community participation. From a siyasah dusturiyah perspective, this regulation already reflects the state's efforts to realize the public welfare, but has not been optimal in practice. This research emphasizes the need for integrative strategies based on Islamic values, such as collaboration with religious scholars, optimizing zakat funds for rehabilitation, and a humanistic approach to da'wah. Thus, this research contributes to strengthening Sharia-based public policies and offers a more effective and transformative model for implementing regional regulations.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GAME BASED LEARNING (GBL) MODEL IN CIVIC EDUCATION TO IMPROVE UNDERSTANDING OF PANCASILA VALUES AT SANGGAR BIMBINGAN KEPONG, MALAYSIA
This research was motivated by the low level of understanding of Pancasila values among students at Sanggar Bimbingan Muhammadiyah Kepong, Malaysia. The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of the Game Based Learning (GBL) model in enhancing students’ comprehension of Pancasila values within Civic Education. A quantitative method was used, employing a one-group pretest-posttest design. Data were collected through a written test consisting of 20 items and analyzed using a paired sample t-test. The results revealed a significant increase in the average score from 51.15 to 81.15, with a p-value < 0.05. It can be concluded that the GBL model is effective in significantly improving students’ understanding of Pancasila values and is particularly relevant for application in non-formal education settings abroad.

ANALYSIS OF PRICE MANIPULATION IN THE SPICE TRADE IN BARUS DISTRICT WAHBAH AZ-ZUHAILI'S PERSPECTIVE
This study analyzes the practice of price manipulation in the spice trade at Barus Market, one of Indonesia’s oldest spice ports, through the lens of Islamic economic principles according to Wahbah Az-Zuhaili. The manipulation includes price manipulation and artificial stock withholding, driven by information asymmetry between sellers and less-informed buyers, particularly from outside the region. Employing a descriptive qualitative and empirical juridical approach, data were collected through interviews, direct observation, and literature review. Findings reveal that such practices violate fundamental Islamic trade ethics, including shidq (honesty), ‘adl (justice), and prohibitions against tadlis (fraud) and gharar (uncertainty). Az-Zuhaili advocates for state intervention through price regulation (tas’îr) in cases of market distortion caused by merchant misconduct. The study highlights the need for sharia-based market reform, consumer protection via khiyar ghabn, and ethical education for traders to realize a fair, transparent, and Islamic economy.

ANALYSIS OF MEDIA PROPAGANDA REPORTING THE PALESTINIAN CONFLICT ON INSTAGRAM @eye.on.palestine
This study discusses how the Instagram account @eye.on.palestine acts as a digital propaganda agent in voicing the narrative of the Palestinian people's struggle through social media. This account consistently presents visual content in the form of images, videos, infographics, and narratives that depict the suffering of civilians, infrastructure damage, and symbols of struggle such as the Palestinian flag, children, and medical volunteers. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using content analysis to explore the digital propaganda techniques employed by the account during the period from April to June 2025. Data was collected through digital observation and documentation of the account’s posts, then analyzed using the Hypodermic Needle Theory and visual communication frameworks. The results of the study show that the @eye.on.palestine account uses propaganda techniques such as emotional framing, visual persuasion, religious and nationalist symbolism, and calls for public mobilization. The content is not only informative but also has a strong persuasive and performative effect in shaping global public opinion in favor of Palestine. These findings show that social media has become a strategic space for non-state actors to build narratives of resistance and international solidarity. Additionally, high user engagement, whether in the form of comments, likes, or shares, serves as an indicator of the success of the digital propaganda constructed by this account. Thus, this study confirms that social media plays an important role in global narrative conflicts, particularly in humanitarian issues such as the Palestinian conflict.

THE GALANG BATANG AGREEMENT IN THE RESOLUTION OF MARITAL CONFLICTS IN GUNUNG MANAON 1 VILLAGE: AN ISLAMIC LEGAL PERSPECTIVE
This study examines the Galang Batang agreement as a form of conflict resolution between husband and wife in Gunung Manaon 1 Village from the perspective of Islamic law. Galang Batang is a local customary practice that serves as an informal mediation method in resolving marital disputes. The aim of this study is to understand the implementation mechanism of the Galang Batang agreement, its effectiveness in preserving household harmony, and the extent to which this practice aligns with Islamic legal principles, particularly in terms of justice, public interest (maslahah), and family dispute resolution. This research employs a qualitative method with a normative-sociological approach, through interviews with traditional leaders, married couples, and local religious figures. The findings reveal that Galang Batang not only functions as a means of conflict resolution but also reinforces social and religious values. From the perspective of Islamic law, this practice is acceptable as long as it does not contradict the sharia and upholds the principles of consultation (shura), justice, and peace. Therefore, Galang Batang represents a form of harmonization between customary law and Islamic law in resolving family conflicts.

THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE FIRST PRINCIPLE OF PANCASILA TO THE FORMATION OF MODERATE RELIGIOUS CHARACTER IN THE DISRUPTION ERA
This study examines the contribution of the first principle of Pancasila to the formation of moderate religious character among youth in the era of digital disruption. The growing phenomenon of religion-based intolerance in digital spaces serves as a significant background for this inquiry. The aim of the research is to evaluate the extent to which the value of Belief in One Supreme God can be internalized within education and religious social life. The method employed is a meta-analysis literature review by analyzing academic studies from the past five years. Data were collected through systematic searches of reputable journals and analyzed using content analysis techniques and bibliometric visualization. The findings indicate that the value of divinity holds great potential in shaping tolerant religiosity, yet its implementation remains suboptimal. This study recommends the strategic integration of divine values into curricula and digital religious literacy initiatives.

Analysis of Integer Concept Understanding by Prospective Elementary School Teachers: Implications for Elementary Mathematics Teaching
Mathematics is an essential subject in elementary education, with integers playing a key role as the foundation for more complex mathematical concepts. However, many students struggle to understand integers, particularly negative numbers and their operations. This study aims to analyze how prospective elementary school teachers represent the concept of integers and develop effective teaching strategies. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, involving 12 prospective teachers divided into three groups based on their understanding of integers. The primary instrument used was the modified Content Representation (CoRe) to evaluate how these prospective teachers represent and teach integers. The results indicate that most prospective teachers have a good grasp of basic integer concepts and frequently use number lines as a visual aid. However, some teachers still face difficulties in explaining negative numbers and their operations. The use of technology, such as interactive applications and educational videos, was recognized as an effective strategy for improving students' understanding. This study concludes that developing pedagogical skills in prospective teachers, particularly in teaching integers, is crucial to enhancing the quality of mathematics instruction at the elementary level.

Integrating Digital Technology in Education: The Effectiveness of Mobile Games in Numeracy Learning
The numeracy skills of elementary school students in Indonesia remain low, as reflected in national and international assessments. Conventional teaching methods are ineffective in improving numeracy skills, necessitating a more interactive and engaging approach. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of mobile game-based learning in facilitating numeracy education. Using a quasi-experimental design, the study involved two groups of third-grade students: an experimental group using mobile games and a control group using PowerPoint. Data were collected through numeracy tests covering number relations, arithmetic operations, and counting. The results showed that the experimental group experienced a significant improvement in numeracy skills compared to the control group, with a p-value of 0.043. These findings suggest that mobile game-based learning is more effective, interactive, and flexible in enhancing students' numeracy skills. The study recommends mobile games as an innovative alternative learning medium in elementary education.

MARCOMM'S PERSUASIVE COMMUNICATION STRATEGY IN SHARIA-BASED PRINT ADVERTISING DESIGN
The rapid development of the advertising industry in the digital era has created increasingly intense competition among businesses in communicating their products to target audiences. This study aims to analyze the persuasive communication strategies implemented by Syafaat Marcomm in designing sharia-based print advertising, while also exploring how Islamic values are integrated into modern marketing practices. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and literature study, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that conventional branding generally emphasizes profit and image enhancement, whereas sharia-based branding focuses on ethical and spiritual principles such as honesty, trust, justice, and truthful communication. Syafaat Marcomm applies a three-level integrated branding strategy, namely conducting research and brand audits, designing persuasive messages across print and digital media with ethical language and visual symbols, and building long-term consumer loyalty through value-based communication. Despite challenges such as limited budgets and public skepticism toward sharia branding, the study concludes that persuasive communication rooted in sharia principles is both effective and relevant for strengthening consumer trust, brand awareness, and business sustainability in Indonesia’s competitive advertising landscape.

EXECUTION OF FINAL AND BINDING COURT DECISIONS IN CORRUPTION CRIMES BY PROSECUTORS (A CASE STUDY OF THE SERDANG BEDAGAI DISTRICT PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE)
The execution of court decisions in corruption cases falls under the authority of prosecutors as regulated in Article 270 of the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP). Prosecutors act both as public prosecutors and as executors of court rulings that have obtained permanent legal force. This study aims to analyze the authority of prosecutors in executing corruption cases, to identify the challenges encountered, and to formulate effective countermeasures. The research employs an empirical juridical method with a qualitative approach, combining normative analysis and field data to achieve a comprehensive understanding. The findings indicate that prosecutors play a central role in the execution process, including the enforcement of additional criminal sanctions. However, execution is often hindered by regulatory disharmony, the absence of standardized SOPs, limited inter-agency coordination, as well as social and political pressures. Therefore, strengthening prosecutorial professionalism, establishing clear SOPs, enhancing cross-institutional coordination, providing legal protection for prosecutors, and fostering public involvement in oversight are necessary. These efforts are expected to improve the effectiveness of execution, ensure legal certainty, and enhance public trust in the judicial system for corruption cases.

THE EVIDENTIARY VALUE OF VISUM ET REPERTUM IN RAPE CASES AND ITS RELATION TO THE LEGALITY OF ABORTION
Rape is a serious crime that causes physical harm and deep psychological trauma to the victim. One of the main challenges in law enforcement is proof, as it often occurs without witnesses. This study aims to analyze the legal evidence of Visum et Repertum (VeR), its relation to the legality of abortion for victims, and the legal protection for doctors performing conditional abortion in Indonesia. Using a normative juridical method, the study finds that VeR is crucial as scientific evidence and an administrative requirement for conditional abortion, while also protecting victims’ rights. Practical challenges include limited forensic personnel, examination costs, social stigma, and insufficient legal protection for medical practitioners. Legal uncertainties create doubts in implementing conditional abortion. The study emphasizes improving VeR quality, raising awareness of victims’ rights, and strengthening legal protection for doctors to ensure justice and legal certainty.

GREEN TOURISM COMMUNICATION POLICY: THE MINISTRY OF TOURISM AND CREATIVE ECONOMY'S SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES IN BUILDING DIGITAL ECOTOURISM AWARENESS
This study aims to analyze the strategy and acceptance of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf)'s green tourism communication policy in building digital ecotourism awareness in Indonesia. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and a constructivist paradigm, this study combines data from policy documents, digital observations through Brand24, and in-depth interviews with policy actors, academics, and ecotourism practitioners. The results show that Kemenparekraf's digital communication strategy through campaigns such as #TravelResponsibly, Green Parekraf, and Green Tourism Training has successfully transformed government communication patterns to be more participatory and interactive. Public acceptance of this policy tends to be positive, where the public is not only a recipient of messages, but also participates in producing content and creatively articulating the meaning of sustainability in the digital space. These findings are examined through the perspectives of Innovation Diffusion Theory and the Sustainable Communication Model, which emphasize the importance of two-way communication in the adoption of sustainability values. This research contributes to strengthening the discourse on digital environmental communication by positioning green tourism as a collaborative social movement that builds eco-conscious digital citizenship in Indonesia.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NATIONAL NARCOTICS AGENCY (BNN) OF TEBING TINGGI CITYIN HANDLING NARCOTICS CASES IN TEBING TINGGI CITY BASED ON TEBING TINGGI CITY REGIONAL REGULATION NUMBER 05 OF 2019 FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF FIQH SIYASAH DUSTURIYAH
Etymologically, drugs or narcotics come from the English word narcose or narcosis which means to put to sleep and anesthesia. What is meant by Narcotics in Law No. 35 of 2009 is a substance or drug derived from plants or non-plants, both synthetic and semi-synthetic, which can cause a decrease or change in consciousness, loss of feeling, reduce to eliminate pain, and can cause dependence. From data obtained from Tebing Tinggi City Prison, there is an interesting trend in the number of drug cases during the last 5 months at the end of the year and the beginning of 2024. It can be seen that the number of inmates and detainees tends to vary every month. In January, the number of inmates was recorded at 995 people and the number of detainees was 232 people. However, in February, although the number of inmates was the same as the previous month (995 people), the number of detainees increased significantly to 263 people. Then, there was an increase in the number of prisoners in September (1027 people), but the number of detainees remained relatively stable (222 people) The approach used in this study is a qualitative approach, namely data in the form of descriptions of words or attachments to be collected and then analyzed descriptively. Descriptive qualitative research is a study that describes situations and events (Nurdiansyah and Rugoyah 2021) As an institution that has the main task of Preventing the Eradication of Narcotics Abuse and Illicit Trafficking in Tebing Tinggi City, the Tebing Tinggi City National Narcotics Agency must be able to provide guarantees to every community to carry out the duties and functions of the Tebing Tinggi City BNN as regulated by law. Combating illicit trafficking and abuse of narcotics can be achieved through various government strategies and policies which are then implemented comprehensively and simultaneously by relevant officials in collaboration with anti-drug community components. The strategies for combating illicit drug trafficking and abuse include Demand Reduction, Supply Control, and Harm Reduction. Essentially, drug abuse has reached all levels of society. It begins with curiosity, then trial, and then addiction, leading to repeated attempts. This is where the role of the Tebing Tinggi City National Narcotics Agency (BNN) is crucial, along with the Prevention, Eradication, and Eradication of Narcotics Abuse and Illicit Trafficking (P4GN). In this effort, the BNN conducts outreach to various levels of society, especially children and students, as early prevention is essential for them to grow into intelligent future generations.

THE LAW ON SELLING SUBSIDIZED OIL USING JERRY CANS BASED ON PRESIDENTIAL DECREE NUMBER 117 OF 2021 CONCERNING THE PROVISION, DISTRIBUTION, AND RETAIL SELLING PRICES OF FUEL OIL FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SADD ADZ-DZARI'AH
Subsidized fuel is often purchased using jerry cans at gas stations and resold to vehicle users at prices much higher than the price set by the Government. This is not permitted without a specific permit, as regulated in Presidential Decree No. 117 of 2021 concerning Retail Selling Prices and Consumers Using Certain Types of Fuel Oil. The purpose of this study is why the government prohibits the sale of subsidized fuel using jerry cans, then and what is the effect of the ban on the sale of subsidized fuel using jerry cans at gas stations. What is the perspective of Presidential Decree No. 117 of 2021 and Sadd Adz-dzari'ah regarding the prohibition on the sale of subsidized fuel using jerry cans. This type of research is normative juridical, with data collected through document studies and then processed using qualitative methods. The results of the study indicate that the reason the government prohibits the public from purchasing subsidized fuel using containers that do not comply with standards is because it can cause negative impacts such as flammability, environmental pollution and fuel hoarding. Presidential Decree No. Law No. 117 of 2021 concerning the prohibition on the sale of subsidized fuel using containers that do not meet regulatory standards aligns with the concept of Sadd Adz-dzari'ah, where the government implements the ban from a Sadd Adz-dzari'ah perspective. Sadd Adz-dzari'ah emphasizes the importance of preventing actions that could be detrimental or dangerous, even if they appear to be beneficial.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE INTERPRETATION OF AL-IBRIZ BY K.H BISRI MUSTOFA AND THE INTERPRETATION OF AL-MUBARAK BY K.H TAUFIQUL HAKIM
In comprehending and elucidating the meaning of the Qur’an, an exegete cannot entirely detach themselves from the accumulated knowledge and interpretive methodologies that have previously evolved. Consequently, new interpretations consistently represent a dialogue with and an elaboration of the existing corpus of tafsir, rather than being solely a product of independent thought. Based on this premise, this research investigates the correlation between Tafsir Al-Ibriz and Tafsir Al-Mubarak. The study addresses two primary research questions. First, what is the correlation between Tafsir Al-Ibriz by K.H Bisri Mustofa and Tafsir Al-Mubarak by K.H Taufiqul Hakim. Second, in which section in the Tafsir Al-Mubarak are influenced by Tafsir Al-Ibriz. This study employs a qualitative methodology and is categorized as library reseacrh by utilizing Karl Mannheim’s sociology of knowledge theory, specially focusing on ‘behavior and meaning’ as its analitycal framework. The findings indicate a significant correlation between Tafsir Al-Ibriz and Tafsir Al-Mubarak. A prominent aspect of this correlation is the use of Javanese language in both exegitical works. This reflect the exegetes strategy to adapt the material, making it relevant and accesible to local audiences residing in their respective regions. Furthermore, in depth observation reveals that several sections of Tafsir Mubarak exhibit a strong dominance from Tafsir Al-Ibriz.

INTERPRETATION OF VIOLENCE IN HUSBAND-WIFE RELATIONS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF AT-THOBARI AND SAYYID QUTHB'S INTERPRETATION OF QS. AL-NISĀ' [4]: 19 & 24
This study examines the interpretation of the Qur'an on domestic violence by husbands through a comparative study of the views of al-Ṭabarī and Sayyid Quṭb on QS. al-Nisā’ [4]:19 and [4]:34. The background of this study is based on the rise of domestic violence (KDRT) which is often rooted in textual understanding and patriarchal bias towards the verses of the Qur'an, especially regarding the concepts of qawwāmūn and daraba. In this context, the Qur'an actually emphasizes the values of sakinah, mawaddah, and raḥmah as the foundation of an ideal family that is just, equal, and free from violence. This study aims to clarify the relationship between sacred texts, interpretations, and social practices in efforts to prevent domestic violence by exploring how the two commentators interpret the key concepts of qawwāmūn, nushūz, and daraba along with their ethical and normative implications for family life. The research method uses a qualitative approach based on library research with a comparative-thematic analysis model (mawḍū‘ī). The results show that both commentators reject domestic violence and emphasize the family as a spiritual and moral institution based on justice and compassion. Al-Ṭabarī presents a legal-normative framework by interpreting qiwāmah as a mandate of responsibility limited by ma‘rūf and emphasizing the discipline of worship and justice in household relations. Meanwhile, Sayyid Quṭb emphasizes the ethical-spiritual horizon, interpreting qiwāmah as a mandate of service and mu‘āsyarah bil-ma‘rūf as an anti-violence principle that fosters mercy. Both are combined in the Qur'anic vision that makes the family the center of civilization and a space for the actualization of divine values in human relations. The novelty of this research lies in the effort to integrate classical and modern interpretations into the maqāṣidī interpretation paradigm which emphasizes the values of mercy, justice, and humanity as the foundation for forming a harmonious family free from violence.

OVERCOMING ANXIETY THROUGH RIDHA, TAWAKKAL, AND PATIENCE: A THEMATIC STUDY IN THE TAFSIR FI ZHILALIL QUR'AN
Anxiety disorder has become one of the most pressing mental health issues in modern society. Conventional psychological approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), pharmacotherapy, and mindfulness often emphasize biological and rational aspects, leaving the spiritual dimension underexplored. In fact, spirituality plays an essential role in establishing psychological balance. This study aims to examine the Qur’anic values of ridha (acceptance), tawakkal (trust in God), and sabr (patience) as interpreted in Sayyid Qutb’s Fi Zhilalil Qur’an, and their relevance in overcoming contemporary anxiety. This research applies a qualitative method with a library research approach, utilizing thematic exegesis (tafsir maudhū’i) of the Qur’anic verses and their interpretations, combined with Islamic psychology literature and empirical findings related to anxiety. The results indicate that ridha serves as active acceptance fostering emotional stability, tawakkal harmonizes human effort with reliance on God to generate inner peace, and sabr strengthens psychological resilience in facing life’s challenges. The integration of these three values forms a holistic Qur’an-based Islamic therapeutic model that is both normative and applicable. Therefore, this study highlights the significance of Qur’anic spirituality as an alternative framework for addressing anxiety while simultaneously reinforcing the spiritual foundation of modern Muslim communities.

E-MAWATIK: MAWARIS ELECTRONIC MODULE DEVELOPMENT BASED ON REALISTIC MATHEMATICS
The study of mawaris (Islamic inheritance law) is often considered complex due to the involvement of precise mathematical calculations. However, conventional teaching methods tend to be less engaging and difficult to understand, especially for the younger generation who are more familiar with technology. Therefore, the development of an electronic module based on realistic mathematics, such as e-Mawamatik, becomes highly important. This module not only facilitates the understanding of mawaris concepts through an applied mathematical approach but also leverages technology to enhance students’ interest and engagement. This study aims to develop an e-Mawamatik module for teaching mawaris that integrates mathematical concepts to simplify the understanding and calculation of inheritance distribution. The module is designed to help students comprehend inheritance division according to Islamic law through concrete examples and digital simulations. In addition, e-Mawamatik seeks to increase learning interest, support independent learning.. The development of e-Mawamatik adopts a research and development (R&D) method, involving the stages of needs analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Furthermore, the module will be tested by students and experts to ensure the accuracy of its content and the effectiveness of the learning process. Evaluation is carried out through user feedback and continuous improvement to produce an optimal module. The media expert validation score was 88.3%, language expert validation 87.5%, and material expert validation 90% and matematic realistic expert validation 87,5%, with an average score percentage categorized as very valid. The trial conducted by teachers and students of Grade XI at Madrasah Aliyah Pondok Pesantren K.H. Ahmad Dahlan Sipirok showed that respondents scored 85.10% for the needs and interest aspect, and 90.88% for the usage evaluation aspect. The average percentage score across all aspects was 88.6%, falling into the category of very valid.

CHARGING CAR RENTAL COSTS DURING POST-ACCIDENT REPAIR PERIOD FROM WAHBAH AZ-ZUHAILI'S PERSPECTIVE (CASE STUDY OF CAR RENTAL COMPANIES IN MEDAN TEMBUNG)
This study explores the imposition of car rental fees during post-accident repair periods from the perspective of Wahbah Az-Zuhaili, with a focus on car rental companies operating in Medan Tembung. The primary objective is to examine the risk-sharing arrangements between the renter and the vehicle owner, as well as the consequences arising from accidents involving rented vehicles. The study further analyzes the compatibility of the risk coverage system implemented by rental companies with the principles of the ijarah ‘ala al-manfa’ah contract, as interpreted by Wahbah Az-Zuhaili. A qualitative research method with a normative-empirical analysis approach was employed. The findings reveal that rental companies, specifically Zahri Rental, place full liability on renters for vehicle damages even when not caused by renter negligence. Renters are also required to pay additional rental fees while the vehicle is under insurance repair, despite having already covered the insurance claim. This policy is driven by the substantial financial losses incurred by Zahri Rental due to idle vehicles that cannot be rented out during repairs. Although intended to mitigate company losses, this practice does not fully align with the principles of ijarah ‘ala al-manfa’ah, which emphasize a balanced benefit between the renter and the rental owner.

THE VIEWS OF RELIGIOUS COURT JUDGES IN NORTH SUMATRA REGARDING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ROYALTIES REMAINING JOINT PROPERTY AFTER DIVORCE
The status of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) royalties as joint property after divorce remains a matter of debate among academics and legal practitioners due to the lack of clear regulations in positive law or the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI). This article aims to examine the views of judges at the Religious Court of North Sumatra regarding IPR royalties remaining as joint property after divorce. This study uses empirical juridical research with a statutory approach, case studies, and a conceptual approach. Primary data sources were obtained from interviews with several Religious Court judges domiciled in North Sumatra. Secondary data sources were obtained from primary legal materials such as Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright and Law Number 13 of 2016 concerning Patents. Data analysis used qualitative analysis methods. The results show that the views of Religious Court judges in North Sumatra regarding the distribution of IPR royalties after divorce are very diverse, reflecting a spectrum of thought from moderate to restrictive. Some judges argue that the approach to distributing royalties from intellectual works, such as songs, is based on the principle of moderate justice. The 50:50 distribution scheme is considered a basic rule or default rule that reflects the balance of rights between both parties during the marriage. However, this rule is not absolute; the distribution can be adjusted if there is evidence that one party has made a greater contribution, whether financially, through creative ideas, or through administrative support. Some judges reject the distribution of intellectual property royalties after a divorce, in order to maintain the principle of creator autonomy, unless there is a clear prenuptial agreement. In other words, intellectual property rights cannot simply be categorized as joint property without a clear contractual legal basis. Others prefer a contextual approach, assessing each case uniquely based on the economic structure, relationship history, and contributions of each party.

A REVIEW ON ISLAMOPHOBIA AND ITS PRACTICES IN INDONESIA AS MUSLIM-MAJORITY COUNTRY
This research paper explores the phenomenon of Islamophobia, particularly its manifestations and implications in Indonesia. The study critiques the predominant Western-centric scholarship on Islamophobia, highlighting its existence has also developed in Muslim-majority countries. It delves into the historical and contemporary perspectives on Islamophobia in global settings, especially from Muslim-majority countries to within Indonesia, especially the socio-political dynamics from the Old Order through the New Order to the post-Reformation era. Drawing on qualitative analysis, the paper discusses various incidents and policies that reflect Islamophobic tendencies, such as governmental restrictions on Islamic expressions by banning civil society oganizations such as Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) and Islamic Defender Front (FPI), the reemeergence of niqab and short trousers (celana cingkrang) prohibition in state agencies, and dai certification. There is a few case on societal prejudices against Muslims in horizontal level. There is need for dialogue and understanding among Muslim communities and advocates for the role of religious authorities in countering misinformation and fostering a narrative of tolerance and inclusivity due to Islamophobia potential impact on society cohesiveness. Ultimately, it calls for a collective effort to address Islamophobia in Indonesia while promoting the values of Wasathiyyah Islam as a guiding principle for harmonious coexistence.

CODE SWITCHING AND ITS VARIATIONS IN DIGITAL DISCOURSE: A STUDY OF CODE SWITCHING TYPES IN THE MATA NAJWA PODCAST WITH RETNO MARSUDI AND SRI MULYANI
The phenomenon of code-switching has become an increasingly significant linguistic practice in digital communication, especially within public discourse featuring influential figures. This study aims to analyze the types, functions, and socio-pragmatic meanings of code-switching in the Mata Najwa podcast episode titled Women in Power, featuring Indonesia’s key female leaders Retno Marsudi and Sri Mulyani. Using a qualitative case study design and grounded in sociolinguistic theory, this research investigates how code-switching operates as a communicative strategy for constructing identity, negotiating power, and representing leadership in digital spaces. Data were collected through non-participant observation, verbatim transcription, and visual documentation. Thematic analysis was conducted using Hoffman’s (1991) typology of code-switching, comprising inter-sentential, intra-sentential, and tag-switching. Findings indicate that intra-sentential switching is most dominant (59%), followed by inter-sentential (30%) and tag-switching (11%). The results reveal that code-switching functions not only as a bilingual communication tool but also as a rhetorical and symbolic act that reflects pragmatic competence, global orientation, and cultural identity alignment. This linguistic behavior signifies how female leaders articulate global authority while maintaining local identity, demonstrating code-switching as a form of gendered communicative performance. The study contributes to digital sociolinguistics and gender communication studies by offering empirical evidence of how multilingual discourse in podcasts mediates identity, power, and leadership narratives in contemporary digital culture.

CODE-MIXING ANALYSIS IN BILINGUAL CONVERSATIONS ON PODCAST MEDIA
This study aims to analyze the forms and distribution of code-mixing in bilingual conversations between Cinta Laura and Maudy Ayunda on the Puella podcast, using Muysken’s (2000) theoretical framework. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, this research identifies three main types of code-mixing Insertion, Alternation, and Congruent Lexicalization to reveal their linguistic and social functions. The data consist of 77 lines of conversation extracted from the YouTube Puella channel, which were classified and analyzed based on the context of their use. The results indicate that Alternation is the most dominant type, accounting for 50.65% of occurrences, followed by single-language use (Indonesian 18.18% and English 16.88%), Congruent Lexicalization (6.49%), and Insertion (3.90%). The predominance of Alternation demonstrates the speakers’ flexibility in switching between languages and reflects their strong bilingual identity.

WORK CULTURE, MOTIVATION, AND CAREER PROGRESSION IN ISLAMIC INSTITUTIONS: A STUDY ON ENHANCING EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY
This study investigates the influence of work culture, work motivation, and career progression on employee productivity within Islamic institutions. Grounded in the theoretical integration of Organizational Culture Theory, Self-Determination Theory, and Human Capital Theory, the research acknowledges the role of Islamic Work Ethic values—such as amanah, ikhlas, and itqan—as shaping mechanisms in professional behavior. A quantitative explanatory design was employed, involving a survey distributed to employees across selected Islamic institutions in Indonesia. Simple random sampling was used to determine respondents, and data were analyzed through multiple linear regression with validity and reliability tests performed to ensure measurement accuracy. The findings demonstrate that all three independent variables significantly and positively affect employee productivity. Work culture emerged as a key determinant, emphasizing the role of shared values, teamwork, and disciplinary practices grounded in Islamic ethos. Work motivation also showed a strong effect, indicating that employees are driven not only by extrinsic incentives but also by intrinsic and spiritual motives rooted in religious consciousness. Career progression further contributed significantly to productivity, suggesting that structured development pathways and perceived fairness in advancement enhance performance in Islamic institutional settings. Overall, the results reinforce the view that value-based organizational systems integrating ethical and spiritual dimensions can enhance workforce excellence. This research contributes theoretically by contextualizing Western organizational behavior models within an Islamic moral framework and practically by offering insights for strengthening human resource strategies in Islamic institutions.

THE ROLE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL AFFAIRS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF REGIONAL REGULATION NUMBER 15 OF 2004 CONCERNING THE PROHIBITION OF VAGRANCY AND BEGGING IN TANJUNG BALAI CITY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SIYASAH DUSTURIYAH
This study discusses the implementation of Tanjung Balai City Regional Regulation Number 15 of 2004 concerning the Prohibition of Vagrancy and Begging from the perspective of Siyasah Dusturiyah. The phenomenon of the increasing number of vagrants and beggars (gepeng) in Tanjung Balai City indicates a gap between the ideality of law (das sollen) and social reality (das sein). The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of the regulation, to identify its inhibiting and supporting factors, and to assess its conformity with the principles of public benefit (maslahah) in Siyasah Dusturiyah. This research employs an empirical juridical approach with a qualitative descriptive method through interviews, observations, and document studies. The results show that the implementation of the regulation remains weak due to budget limitations, insufficient rehabilitation facilities, and lack of inter-agency coordination. Moreover, the legal substance of the regulation focuses more on control and sanctions without being balanced by rehabilitation and social empowerment policies. From the perspective of Siyasah Dusturiyah, such a policy has not fully fulfilled the principles of maslahah ‘ammah and maqasid al-shariah, as it has not yet succeeded in ensuring protection, empowerment, and justice for the poor. This study concludes that the handling of vagrancy and begging should be directed toward economic empowerment, moral guidance, and social reintegration based on Islamic values so that regional social policies genuinely reflect public welfare and human dignity.

INFLUENCER CULT AND INFORMATION SYSTEM ECOSYSTEM: FROM CULTURAL CONSUMPTION TO DIGITAL IDOLATRY IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF NEW CULTURE AND QUR'ANIC VALUES
This study explores the phenomenon of digital idolatry as a cultural manifestation within the algorithmic ecosystem of social media. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research integrates quantitative analysis through Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) and qualitative interpretation based on thematic interviews. The quantitative results reveal that cultural consumption and information system quality significantly influence digital idolatry, while information quality has a weak impact. These findings indicate that technological reliability and cultural participation are more decisive in shaping excessive attachment to digital figures than informational clarity alone. The qualitative findings reinforce this pattern, highlighting emotional attachment, lifestyle imitation, ritualized online behavior, and financial sacrifice as expressions of collective worship in digital spaces. Interpreted through Qur'anic values, such as wasathiyyah (moderation), tabayyun (verification), and anti-israf (avoidance of excess), the study argues that digital idolatry reflects a moral imbalance fostered by algorithmic design and social validation systems. The research contributes to the integration of socio-technical theory with ethical theology, offering a normative framework for promoting critical, balanced, and ethical digital engagement. This study emphasizes the urgency of developing spiritual digital literacy as a cultural counterweight in the age of algorithmic influence.

THE PHENOMENON OF GLASS CEILINGS AND GENDER ISSUES IN WOMEN
As time goes by, women play a crucial role in improving the quality of both the public and domestic sectors. Negative perceptions that consistently emphasize women's presence in the workforce present a significant obstacle. One gender-related issue women face in advancing their careers is the glass ceiling. This study used a literature review method to further explore the glass ceiling and other gender-related issues that can impact women's careers. The results of this literature review indicate that while many women have overcome these barriers, the glass ceiling remains a crucial barrier to women's career advancement. Furthermore, this phenomenon contributes to social inequality, poor performance, and injustice for women within organizations.

From Traditional Records to Standardized Reporting: The Impact of PSAK 45 and PSAK 109 on Mosque Financial Transparency
This study examines the reconstruction of mosque financial reporting systems in Indonesia through the application of PSAK 45 and PSAK 109 in response to persistent governance challenges. Despite managing substantial public funds, many mosques continue to rely on manual, non-standardized bookkeeping practices that limit transparency, auditability, and accountability. National evidence indicates that more than 70% of mosques have not implemented formal accounting standards, resulting in inconsistent reporting and weak oversight. Using a qualitative literature review, this study synthesizes empirical findings, regulatory frameworks, and theoretical perspectives to evaluate the relevance and applicability of PSAK 45 for nonprofit financial reporting and PSAK 109 for managing zakat, infak, and sadaqah funds. The review reveals that both standards provide structured mechanisms for fund classification, disclosure, and documentation, allowing mosques to transition from informal cash-based reports to comprehensive, auditable statements. However, implementation remains constrained by limited financial literacy, lack of regulatory enforcement, and cultural perceptions of informal mosque governance. The study proposes an integrated framework emphasizing capacity building, standardized reporting templates, and strengthened internal controls. The findings highlight that adopting PSAK 45 and PSAK 109 offers significant opportunities to enhance institutional credibility, donor trust, and long-term financial sustainability. This research underscores the urgent need for standardized accounting practices to modernize mosque financial governance and strengthen public accountability
