The Geopolitical Complexity of Medieval Islam: Dynastic Conflicts Among the Safawid, Mamluks, and Ottoman
From the 14th to the 17th centuries, the conflict between Muslims escalated. This conflict occurred between three major Islamic powers: the Ottomans, the Safavids, and the Mamluks. These three opposing forces possessed significant power and influence. The purpose of this article is to explain the geopolitical conflict that occurred between these three powers. Using library research methods, several sources describing this conflict were identified. From the sources collected, differences in the characteristics of the three powers were identified. The Ottomans, with their Sunni-Muslim ideology, contrasted with the Shia-based Safavids. Meanwhile, the Mamluks, with their own objectives, exploited the conflict between the Ottomans and the Safavids. In the conflict between the three powers, the Ottomans emerged as the most powerful force, under the Mamluk rulers, and repelled the Safavids.

Tracing the Threads: Unearthing the Historical Landscape of Islamic Guidance and Counseling in Indonesia
This study aims to trace and analyze the historical and epistemological development of Islamic Guidance and Counseling (IGC) studies in Indonesia, uncovering the interdisciplinary dynamics that have shaped its growth across guidance, counseling, and psychotherapy domains. This study uses a discourse-historical approach to demonstrate the dynamic and heterogeneous growth of Islamic Guidance and Counseling studies in Indonesia. This condition is observed accross the spectrum of research and development, which includes guidance, counseling, and psychotherapy. This discipline develops in an interdisciplinary manner with the influence of other knowledge such as Da'wah, Education, Islamic Psychology, and Sufism. While public university academics often restrict guidance and counseling to developmental education, those at State Islamic Universities prefer a broader, more clinical approach to Islamic guidance and counseling. Indonesian Islamic guidance and counseling is shaped by three epistemological schools: bayani (thematic interpretation), burhani (speculative philosophical-rational), and irfani (Sufistic spiritual interpretation of human issues). These three approaches are followed to understand guidance and counseling efforts toward humans. Starting from these three approaches, Islamic guidance and counseling researchers in Indonesia have succeeded in formulating various methods that can be used to produce Islamic Guidance and Counseling studies that are expected to answer challenges to Muslims in Indonesia.

The Cultural Approach in Promoting Agricultural Emigration to Lampung in Java 1931-1940
This study aims to explain the promotion of emigration of the Javanese people to Lampung using a cultural approach. There are two main issues in this article: first, how early emigrants who had already settled in Lampung promoted the overseas land (tanah sabrang) in Java; second, how the Javanese cultural approach could attract the interest and trust of the Javanese people to emigrate. The method used in writing this article is the historical method, which includes the stages of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, thus producing a historical narrative that is chronological, causal, and imaginative. The results of this research show that the cultural approach through sending back Javanese who had previously migrated to Lampung to return to Java, staging ketoprak performances, sending gamelan to Lampung as gifts, and featuring wayang figures in films about tanah sabrang, successfully captured the attention of the Javanese people and had a significant positive impact on the trust level of prospective emigrants who were to be relocated to the emigration land in Lampung.

The Thoughts of Abdur Rauf Al-Singkili's Hadith on the Formation of Academic Traditions in Aceh at the 17th Century
This study aims to analyze the hadith thought of Abdur Rauf al-Singkili and its influence on the formation of academic traditions in Aceh in the 17th century. The problem raised in this study is how the hadith thought of Abdur Rauf al-Singkili, combined with the teachings of Sufism, was able to form a moderate and distinctive Acehnese educational approach and contribute to the development of academic traditions. The method used in this study is qualitative with the type of library research. In addition, this study uses historical analysis and Karl Mannheim's theory of sociology of knowledge to reveal how the social, cultural, and political contexts of the time influenced the thoughts and intellectual activities of Abdur Rauf al-Singkili. The results of the study indicate that the hadith thought of Abdur Rauf al-Singkili played a strategic role in building academic traditions in Aceh through the dissemination of hadith knowledge that is moderate, integrative and inclusive. This contribution not only strengthens hadith studies, but is also able to address socio-political issues at that time, while forming a broader scientific network in the archipelago. The perspective of Karl Mannheim's sociology of knowledge theory emphasizes that Abdur Rauf al-Singkili's thoughts were born from the religious, heterogeneous and dynamic social conditions of Aceh, and were influenced by intellectual interactions with Middle Eastern scientific traditions and the needs of local society.

Tracking Javanese Traditional Arts in North Sumatra 1900-1930s
Until now, several traditional Javanese arts such as ketoprak, horse braids, and wayang orang can be found in North Sumatra. This research aims to find out why and how Javanese traditional art can develop in this region. The method used in this research is a historical method which includes 4 research stages, namely heuristics, criticism, interpretation and historiography. The research results show that traditional Javanese art has been present in North Sumatra since the colonial era because of Javanese migrants who were employed on foreign plantations. They brought with them Javanese cultural heritage in the form of performing arts, such as gamelan, ketoprak, wayang orang, and dances. This traditional art was deliberately given a place by plantation entrepreneurs to make their workers feel at home. In its development, this traditional art not only functions as a form of entertainment and expression of cultural identity, but also as a tool to maintain collective spirit and solidarity amidst harsh and often unfair working conditions.

Integration of Artificial Intelligence in Learning Islamic Cultural History Through the Samr Model in the Independent Curriculum at the MTs Level
The development of artificial intelligence (AI) provides significant opportunities for innovation in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning media, particularly in the subject of Islamic Cultural History (SKI). This article aims to analyze and conceptually develop AI-based PAI learning media integrated with the SAMR (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition) model and aligned with the principles of the Independent Curriculum. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a literature review method, which examines various national and international research results regarding AI integration, the SAMR model, and PAI learning innovation. The study results indicate that the application of AI in SKI learning, such as the use of educational chatbots, automated videos based on historical texts, and augmented reality simulations, can increase student participation, understanding, and creativity. The integration of the SAMR model facilitates a shift from using technology as an aid to a transformational learning tool. At the Redefinition level , AI is able to redefine the learning experience by enabling students to interact virtually with the context of Islamic history. The application of AI in SKI learning is also in line with the spirit of the Independent Curriculum, which emphasizes flexibility, contextual learning, and the development of teachers' digital competencies. Thus, AI-based learning media has the potential to be a strategic solution in improving the quality of Islamic Education learning in an adaptive, creative, and future-oriented manner.

The Impact of Implementing the Contextual Learning Model on Students' Interest in Learning Islamic Religious Education at Ibnu Abbas As-Salafy Islamic Boarding School
This study aims to determine the effect of applying the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model on students' learning interest in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) subjects at Pondok Pesantren Ibnu Abbas As Salafy Sragen. The background of this research stems from the low learning interest of students in PAI, as indicated by the lack of active participation and limited connection between learning materials and real-life experiences. This study employed a quantitative approach with an associative research design. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 137 students at the Wustha and Madrasah Aliyah levels using purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using correlation tests, simple linear regression, and the coefficient of determination. The results show that the implementation of the CTL model has a significant effect on students' learning interest, with a correlation coefficient of 0.575 and a determination coefficient of 57.5%, indicating a moderately strong positive relationship. It can be concluded that the CTL model effectively enhances students' interest in learning PAI through active, relevant, and meaningful learning experiences. This finding is expected to serve as a reference for PAI teachers in applying innovative learning strategies in Islamic boarding schools.

Fiqh Analysis of Four Schools Against the Mappatabe' Tradition in South Sulawesi
Islamic civilization has developed dynamically and continuously interacted with local cultures through a selective process of acculturation. In Indonesia, particularly in South Sulawesi, the tradition of mappatabe'-which involves saying “tabe'” while slightly bowing as a sign of respect toward elders-represents a clear example of the integration between local culture and Islamic values. Nevertheless, this practice has generated fiqh-related debates concerning the limits of human respect so that it does not resemble acts of worship such as rukūʿ or sujūd, which are exclusively devoted to Allah SWT. This study aims to examine and analyze the perspectives of the four Sunni schools of Islamic jurisprudence Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi‘i, and Hanbali) regarding the mappatabe' tradition as a local cultural practice within the framework of Islamic law. The research employs a library-based qualitative method with a normative-fiqh approach, supported by ex post facto and descriptive methods to explore causal relations and to describe the practice of mappatabe' in its social and legal contexts. Data were collected from primary sources, including the Qur'an, the Prophet's hadiths, classical fiqh texts of the four schools, works of contemporary scholars, and relevant religious fatwas, complemented by secondary sources such as academic books and scholarly journal articles. The findings indicate that the mappatabe' tradition is fundamentally permissible as long as it is understood as a form of social etiquette and respect, does not involve elements of servitude or worship, does not resemble the physical acts of rukuʿ or sujud, and does not promote discrimination among individuals. Therefore, mappatabe' can be regarded as a form of cultural acculturation that aligns with the principles of Islamic law and reflects noble moral values in social life.

Islamic History: The Dynamics of Social Reconstruction Towards the Realization of an Egalitarian Society 611-633 AD
Islam always conveys universal messages. It embodies the values of humanity and strong egalitarianism. This study will provide an in-depth examination of traditional Mecca culture and the process of social reconstruction toward an egalitarian society in Mecca, Medina's traditional culture and the process of social reconstruction in Medina, and the relevance of an egalitarian Islamic society in the modern era. This research uses historical research to uncover events that occurred in the past. The noble values of Islam conveyed during the da'wah process in Mecca failed to be realized. Complex problems were the main basis for this failure. The Medina period demonstrated the success of social reconstruction carried out by Islam. Human equality, religious tolerance, social justice, and other human rights were truly upheld. The points of agreement contained in the Medina Charter were truly implemented and adhered to by all residents of Medina at that time. The values of egalitarianism in Islam, the democratic process of social reconstruction, the persistent struggle for humanitarian values, and the consistency and firmness in upholding agreed-upon rules, as practiced by the Prophet Muhammad and his companions in the early Islamic period, both in Mecca and Medina, are concrete examples of what modern societies can do to realize an egalitarian society. Upholding human rights is a necessity, as every human being is inherently born free.

The Role of Sheikh Ahmad Khatib Al-Minangkabawi in the Dynamics of Hajj in the Archipelago in the Late 19th and Early 20th Centuries
This study aims to examine the profound role of Sheikh Ahmad Khatib al-Minangkabawi (1860-1916) in the dynamics of the history and practice of Hajj in Indonesia through a historical perspective and literature analysis. As a great scholar from Minangkabau who was appointed as the Grand Imam of the Shafi'i School of Law at the Grand Mosque, he became a central reform agent who connected the intellectual heritage of the Hijaz with the Indonesian Hajj pilgrims in the late 19th to early 20th centuries. This study uses a descriptive qualitative research approach, with references to historical research and library research. The results of this study are: Sheikh Ahmad Khatib al-Minangkabawi's significant contribution lies in the reform of religious practices brought home by pilgrims, namely by opposing ta'assub mazhab and encouraging the purification of Hajj jurisprudence through an emphasis on the Qur'an and Sunnah. In addition, his strong criticism of traditionalism, especially the matrilineal inheritance system and the Naqsyabandiyah Order and the cadre formation of scholars (including the founders of Muhammadiyah and NU) fundamentally shaped the puritan and modernist identity of Islam in Indonesia. This research is expected to increase understanding of the Hajj as a channel for Islamic intellectual mobility.

From Allies to Enemies: The Dynamics of the Relationship Between the Sultanate of Palembang and Britain, 1810-1812
This article examines the dynamics between the Palembang Sultanate and the British from 1810 to 1812. Initially a strategic alliance, the relationship deteriorated into a confrontation due to conflicts of colonial interest in monopolizing the region's main commodities. This research employs a systematic historical method, encompassing heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography to analyze conflicting interests as the primary factor behind the relationship's breakdown. Primary sources include Raffles' letters, colonial archives, and memoirs, which are combined with secondary sources. The findings indicate that Raffles' letters successfully influenced Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II to ally against the Franco-Dutch forces, culminating in a mass massacre in September 1811. Subsequently, Raffles exploited this situation to seize the tin-rich Bangka Island after the Sultan refused to hand it over. This refusal triggered Raffles' attack on Palembang. As the British fleet entered the Musi River and occupied Borang Island Fort, Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II and his family fled. Raffles then appointed Raden Husin Dhiauddin as Ahmad Nadjamuddin II, establishing him as a British puppet. This conflict reflects colonial exploitation that remains relevant to this day.

Structure of Organization and Legitimation: A Weberian Analysis of the Nizari Ismailis in Alamut (1090-1124 CE)
This study analyzes the Nizari Ismaili autonomous fortress-state at Alamut (1090-1124 CE) using Max Weber's framework to challenge the dominance of Orientalist narratives that reduce the community to Assassins while neglecting its internal structures of authority. It focuses on the organizational structure and leadership legitimation established by Hasan-i Ṣabbaḥ amid pressures from the Seljuk and Abbasid dynasties. Using a qualitative-historical literature study, sources are analyzed through Weber's Ideal Types of Authority. The findings show that the continuity of the Nizari state was sustained through the successful process of routinizing charismatic authority into an institutionalized organizational structure, manifested in a hierarchical Daʿwa system and an integrated network of defensive fortresses, which replaced unstable forms of personal loyalty. In conclusion, the Routinization of Charisma functioned as a key mechanism ensuring the stability and effectiveness of the Nizari Ismaili state while offering a sociological reinterpretation that transcends the reductive Assassin stereotype.

Comparative Analysis: The Scholarly Culture of The Abbasid and Fatimid Dynasties
This article examines the comparison of scientific culture between the Abbasid Dynasty and the Fatimid Dynasty, two great caliphates that significantly influenced the development of Islamic science. The Abbasid Dynasty was known for establishing Baitul Hikmah, which became an intellectual centre for advancements in astronomy, mathematics, medicine, and philosophy. Conversely, the Fatimid Dynasty, through the establishment of Al-Azhar, contributed to the field of education, particularly in Ismaili theology and religious philosophy. This study aims to compare the two dynasties regarding their roles in the development of science, focusing on their approaches to both natural and spiritual sciences. The comparative analysis found that although both dynasties made significant contributions to the scientific realm, they differed in their scientific orientation, influenced by their respective political and theological contexts. This research provides insight into the intellectual legacy of both dynasties and their impact on Islamic civilisation.

Social Stratification of Jerusalem Society during the Crusades (1174–1185) as Represented in the Film Kingdom of Heaven
This study critically examines the configuration of social stratification in Jerusalem during the period 1174–1185 as represented in the film Kingdom of Heaven. Employing a qualitative methodological framework, the research integrates content analysis and narrative analysis to systematically identify hierarchical structures depicted within the film, including the monarchy, nobility, military aristocracy, urban classes, and non Latin communities. These cinematic representations are subsequently juxtaposed with contemporary historiographical scholarship to evaluate their representational accuracy and interpretive deviations. The findings indicate that, although the film incorporates narrative simplifications and dramatization, it retains the fundamental characteristics of socio-political inequality in the Latin Kingdom particularly the dominance of the Frankish elite, restricted mobility among lower strata, and the interplay of religious authority and political power in sustaining hierarchical order. The study concludes that film functions not merely as a medium of entertainment but as a cultural apparatus capable of shaping public perceptions of medieval societies through selective reconstruction of the past.

Saudi Arabian Men's Fashion Transformation: Tsaub, Ghutra and Bisht Towards Vision 2030
implementation of the Saudi Vision 2030 strategic agenda has triggered significant socio-cultural transformations, driving a reconfiguration of national identity that is manifested in the evolution of men's fashion aesthetics. This study addresses a lacuna in existing literature, which tends to position traditional clothing as static cultural artifacts, with the objective of comprehensively analyzing the transformation of design, function, and symbolic meaning of three primary garment elements: thobe, Ghutra, and Bisht. Employing a qualitative approach through a systematic literature review of historical sources, policy documents, and contemporary studies, this research maps the evolution of these garments from the pre-modern era to the present. The findings indicate that these three elements have undergone a fundamental paradigm shift: the thobe has transformed from a utilitarian desert garment into a symbol of urban professionalism; the Ghutra has evolved from a physical protector into an attribute of hyper-nationalism and youth stylistic expression; while the Bisht has experienced democratization from a symbol of elite exclusivity to an inclusive instrument of cultural diplomacy (soft power). This study concludes that modernization in Saudi Arabia does not erode tradition but rather effects a cultural recontextualization, wherein fashion functions as a dynamic medium in the negotiation of a national identity that is adaptive to global demands.

Malay Personality and the Impact of Modernity
Globalization has brought dynamic changes to Malay culture, where Malay identity faces challenges from external influences, modernization, and cultural commodification. Lifestyle changes resulting from modernization and urbanization can threaten the sustainability of cultural heritage. Like other elements of Malay culture, traditional houses, including performing arts, are vulnerable to commodification where their meaning is transformed into mere objects of consumption. Facing crises and hegemonic threats, Malay culture tends to refer back to history to rediscover "identity" and rebuild self-confidence, so that Malay society does not lose its collective identity, but can adapt to change while still upholding good values. The influence of modernity can result in changes in values, namely the entry of new values from outside due to developments in science and technology which can shake and fade the noble values of Malay personality. Malay society is required to be able to adapt to modernization without losing its identity, by making religion and culture its foundation. Malay culture always adheres to the saying "Adat bersendi syarak, syarak bersendikan Kitabullah". The aim of this research is to find out the theoretical definition of Malay Personality and Modernity, and to find out the characteristics of Malay Personality and its development and challenges in the current era of Modernization. Meanwhile, the benefits of writing this paper can increase knowledge about Malay Personality and the influence of Modernity.

The Tradition of Kenduri as a Means of Islamic Educational Values in Malay Society
The Malay Society is an ethnic group with a strong identity in language, and cultural values formed by a long history of social, religious, and civilizational interactions, especially in the Malay Peninsula. The kenduri tradition as one of the cultural practices in Malay society is not a ceremonial ritual but plays a strategic role in pedagogical or educational matters as a means of character formation that takes place not only through formal institutions, but also through traditions and social practices of the community that instill spiritual educational values and social ethics that become the identity of the characteristics of the Malay society. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method approach (Literature review) with literature analysis and historical-cultural data searches from articles or previous studies to identify the function of the kenduri tradition in education in the life of Malay society. The results of this study indicate that the kenduri tradition contains spiritual educational and social values that function as a means of non-formal education that cannot be replaced by education through modern formal based on institutions.

Educational Assimilation Strategies in Building an Inclusive Civilization in the Midst of Pakistan's Divided Society: A Systematic Literature Review
This study aims to analyze the strategies of assimilation of education in Pakistan to build an inclusive civilization in a divided society while identifying knowledge gaps in the existing literature. The core problem lies in the fragmented education system, which creates "educational apartheid" and exacerbates social segregation based on ideology and socio-economic class. The method used is Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following the PRISMA guidelines, synthesizing 10 final articles drawn from the Scopus database between 2015 and 2025. The findings reveal that the assimilation strategy in Pakistan is dominated by a top-down approach through the instrumentalization of religion and the standardization of the Single National Curriculum (SNC). However, this strategy proved ineffective because it fueled ethno-nationalist resistance, deepened sectarian divisions, and perpetuated gender bias. This conclusion confirms that coercive assimilation fails to foster authentic social cohesion. Therefore, a paradigm shift towards an integrative model that accommodates the plurality of identities and deconstructs colonial legacies is essential to achieving a stable and inclusive civilization.

The Management of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Endemicity in Semarang City, 2010–2019
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is one of the infectious diseases that remains a public health problem in the city of Semarang. From 2010 to 2019, the number of DHF cases fluctuated, with an upward trend during certain periods. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of DHF cases in the period 2010 to 2019, as well as to examine the response of the government and the community in efforts to combat it. This study discusses how DHF cases in Semarang City fluctuate each year and what kind of response is taken to control the disease. The research method used is the historical method, which consists of four elements: heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Data was obtained from newspaper archives, reports, and relevant previous studies. The results of the study show that the fluctuation in dengue fever cases is also influenced by environmental factors, population density, and seasonal changes, while the government and community responses are carried out through mosquito breeding site eradication programs, fogging, and health education. Combating dengue fever requires continuous cooperation between the government and the community so that dengue fever cases can be reduced more effectively.

Integration of Religious Values and Local Wisdom: Strategy for Strengthening Local Traditions Towards the Self-Identity of the Community of Batu Bara District
This study aims to examine the religious values contained in the local wisdom of the Malay community in Batu Bara Regency through the traditions of Pesta Tapai, Mogang, and Mandi Belimau, which are held before the month of Ramadan. The research problem focuses on the form of religious values contained in these three traditions and their contribution to strengthening spirituality, social solidarity, and the preservation of local wisdom based on Islam. This study uses a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. Data collection was carried out through field observations, in-depth interviews with traditional leaders, religious leaders, and community members, and documentation studies. The results show that Pesta Tapai functions as a means of strengthening religious values and empowering the community's economy; the Mogang tradition plays a role in strengthening social bonds and togetherness through kenduri activities; while Mandi Belimau is interpreted as a symbol of self-purification and spiritual readiness in welcoming the holy month of Ramadan. These three traditions not only function as customary practices, but also become a medium for internalizing Islamic values in the social life of the community. This research contributes to enriching the study of the integration of religious values and local wisdom, and emphasizes the importance of preserving cultural traditions as a means of strengthening religiosity, Malay-Islamic cultural identity, and passing on local values to the younger generation in Batu Bara Regency.

Implementation of Student Management based on Islamic Religious Education Values in Fostering Students Achievement and Character at SMA Negeri 1 Simo
This study aims to explore the implementation of student management based on Islamic Religious Education (PAI) values at SMA Negeri 1 Simo, as well as to examine its contribution to student achievement and character development. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research focused on key informants, including the Vice principal for student affairs and IRE teachers, to understand the planning, implementation, and evaluation of student programs related to discipline, morals, student achievement, and talent. Using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana data analysis model, namely interviews, limited observation, and documentation analysis, all methods were used to collect data. The findings show the systematic implementation of student management with the integration of PAI values, which can be seen in the transparent PPDB process, structured organization, and collaborative efforts between teachers.

Strategies for Memorising the Qur'an Using the Tikrar Method at the Majelis Tafsir Al-Qur'an Tahfiz Centre for Girls in Karangpandan, Karanganyar
This study aims to describe the strategy of memorizing the Qur'an using the tikrar method in fostering the memorization of female students at the Tahfidz Center Putri Karangpandan Al-Qur'an Interpretation Council (MTA) Islamic Boarding School. The tikrar method is an intensive repetition technique that has been proven effective in producing memorization that is Mutqin (strong and inherent) and valid (correct according to the rules of tajwid). This study employs a qualitative-descriptive methodology, collecting data through literature reviews, interviews, and observations. An interactive analysis model is used for analysis. The study's findings show that the merging of spiritual and technical elements supports the tahfidz strategy's effectiveness at this Islamic boarding school. The spiritual aspect in the form of tazkiyatun nafs (purification of the heart) is implemented through the habituation of manners, strengthening intentions, and fostering morals before the memorization process begins. In the technical aspect, the tikrar method is implemented through the following stages: (1) Ziyadah, namely the addition of new memorization with layered repetition; (2) Juziyah, namely the submission of one juz in its entirety as an evaluation of the quality of memorization; (3) Tasmi' Marhalah, namely the payment of a number of juz as a condition for increasing the level; and (4) Semester Tahfidz Exam, which is a comprehensive evaluation of memorization during one learning period.

Internalization of Islamic Values at SMK Negeri 8 Surakarta
Art schools emphasize creativity and freedom of expression; therefore, they require specific strategies to internalize religious values in order to achieve a balance between art and Islamic morality. This study aims to describe the forms of internalization of Islamic values at SMK Negeri 8 Surakarta and to identify challenges in their implementation. This research employs a qualitative approach using observation and field practice methods. The findings show that the internalization of Islamic values is carried out through religious habituations and activities, such as religious literacy, Qur’anic recitation before Islamic Religious Education lessons, Friday sermon training, Islamic-themed wayang performances, and the habituation of praying for deceased members of the school community. These activities contribute to the development of students’ religious character and social awareness, although challenges remain in the form of low student interest and limited participation in Islamic Religious Education.

The Effectiveness of Skipping Games in Improving Motor Skills of Sixth-Grade Students at SD Negeri 3 Pasekan
Eye, foot, and hand coordination is crucial for motor development, which is important in sports and children's daily activities. Children with good motor skills tend to have higher self-confidence and optimal social skills. This study aims to improve the gross motor skills of sixth-grade students at SD Negeri 3 Pasekan through skipping training. This research identifies effective forms of skipping exercises, their effectiveness in improving coordination, and the extent of improvement. Using a quantitative One-Group Pretest-Posttest experimental method with 25 students, the results showed that skipping training effectively improved motor skills significantly. The initial pretest showed that 40% of children had not developed, but after four training sessions, there was a drastic improvement: 12% developed as expected and 80% were very good (total 92%). The Normalized Gain (N-Gain) value of 0.84 indicates a very significant improvement, proving the effectiveness of this method in motor development. Teachers also observed an increase in student enthusiasm and active participation, even taking the initiative to practice skipping during breaks. In addition, skipping had a positive impact on psychological aspects such as student confidence, discipline, and cooperation.

The Role of Islamic Religious Education Teachers in Internalizing Islamic Values to Prevent Bullying at SMPN 5 Sukoharjo
This study aims to describe the role of Islamic Religious Education (Pendidikan Agama Islam/PAI) teachers in preventing bullying behavior at SMPN 5 Sukoharjo. Bullying remains a serious problem in the school environment, occurring in verbal, nonverbal, social, and physical forms, and has negative impacts on students’ psychological development and character formation. This research employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving PAI teachers, guidance and counseling teachers, homeroom teachers, and students. The findings indicate that PAI teachers play a strategic role in bullying prevention by integrating Islamic values into the learning process, fostering the habituation of noble character, providing role modeling, and delivering Qur’anic and Hadith-based teachings that emphasize the prohibition of harming or humiliating others. In addition, PAI teachers collaborate with guidance and counseling teachers, maintain intensive communication with parents, and optimize religious activities such as Qur’an recitation (tadarus), Dhuha prayer, the recitation of Asmaul Husna, and other religious habituation programs. These efforts contribute to reducing bullying behavior and fostering students’ character to become more empathetic, polite, and respectful toward others. Therefore, Islamic religious education serves as an important instrument in creating a safe, religious, and bullying-free school environment.

Teacher Innovation in Enhancing Learning Quality through the Tahfidz Al-Qur’an Program: A Phenomenological Study at SMA Muhammadiyah Pontren Imam Syuhodo
Quality education requires innovative teachers in managing the learning process. In the context of Islamic education, the Al-Qur'an memorization program is an important innovation that focuses not only on memorization but also on character building and improving the quality of learning. This study aims to describe teacher innovations in optimizing the quality of learning through the tahfidz program at SMA Muhammadiyah Pontren Imam Syuhodo, and to identify obstacles encountered in its implementation. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation involving tahfidz teachers and school officials. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman interactive model which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that teachers innovated in four aspects of learning, namely method innovation through the combination of sima'an, independent memorization, and talaqqi; media innovation by utilizing Al-Qur'an manuscripts and audio murottal; strategy innovation through setting flexible memorization targets, providing awards, and tahfidz camp activities; and evaluation innovation through weekly evaluations using mutaba'ah books. The main obstacle faced is the limited time allocated for memorization within the school curriculum. Despite this, teachers continue to strive to develop adaptive strategies to maintain the quality of memorization learning.

Constructing Political Image Through Suara Merdeka Newspaper During The 2004 Election In Semarang
This study examines how the political images of the presidential and vice-presidential candidates were shaped during the first round of the 2004 presidential election, as reflected in the coverage of the Suara Merdeka newspaper in Semarang City. The 2004 election marked an important stage in the development of Indonesian democracy, as it was the first time the president and vice-president were chosen directly by the public. As a result, newspapers became a key tool for political communication. The main source of information for this study is the Suara Merdeka newspaper during the 2004 election campaign, supported by references from books and academic articles. The research reveals that Suara Merdeka did more than just report news—it actively influenced the public perception of the candidates by selecting specific issues, determining how often they were covered, and highlighting certain symbols. Therefore, newspapers played an important role in shaping how the public understood the political competition during this period of democratic change.
