Cultural Influences on the Interpretation of Hadith: A Comparative Study of Syuhudi Ismail, Ibn Taymiyyah, and Muhammad Ibn Abd Al-Wahhab
The Prophetic hadith is one of the main sources of Islamic teachings after the Qur'an. However, the understanding and application of hadith is not always uniform in different places and times. One of the factors that influence the interpretation of hadith is the cultural background of the scholars who study them. This study discusses how the cultural background influenced the thinking of Ibn Taymiyyah and Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab so that they rejected culture as part of Islamic teachings, as well as how Syuhudi Ismail's cultural background shaped his views which are more flexible in accepting culture as part of the practice of the Prophet's hadith. Using historical and comparative analysis methods, this study found that Ibn Taymiyyah and Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab were born in a social context that tended to be puritanical and tried to maintain the purity of Islamic teachings from external influences, so they were stricter in understanding hadith within the limits of the original text and context. In contrast, Syuhudi Ismail, who lives in a plural and culturally inclusive society, tends to interpret hadith with an interdisciplinary approach that considers cultural relevance. Thus, this study confirms that culture has a significant role in shaping the understanding of hadith and its application in the lives of Muslims.

Reng Lake’ Noro’ Reng Bini’ Culture in the Perspective of Islamic Epistemology and Local Wisdom
This study examines the cultural practice of Reng Lake' Noro' Reng Bini' in Madurese society from the perspectives of Islamic epistemology and local wisdom, particularly in relation to male migration and women's post-marital security. The research employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical method using anthropological, phenomenological, and normative-theological approaches. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with religious leaders, village elders, and families practicing the tradition, supported by document analysis of classical fiqh texts, Qur'anic exegesis, and reputable journal articles. Data analysis involved data reduction, thematic coding, hermeneutic interpretation, and source triangulation. The findings indicate that Reng Lake' Noro' Reng Bini' functions as a cultural-religious strategy to protect women, adapt to male migration, and locally reinterpret the concept of qiwāmah. This study concludes that Madurese local wisdom operates as a practical form of Islamic epistemology, offering theoretical contributions to Islamic family studies and practical implications for culturally responsive Islamic discourse and family policy.

Trade Transformation in Pasar Senen 1974-1977: From the Malari Riots to Market Restructuring
The Malari riots of 15 January 1974 brought about profound changes in the structure of trade and the livelihoods of traders at Pasar Senen, Jakarta. Prior to this event, Pasar Senen functioned as one of the principal centers of trade and distribution, supporting the provision of essential goods for urban communities. The riots resulted in extensive physical destruction of the market, the disruption of trading activities, and significant economic losses for traders. This study aims to analyze the transformation of trading practices at Pasar Senen following the 1974 Malari riots, as well as the policies implemented by the Jakarta Provincial Government in the processes of restructuring and recovery. The research employs a historical method, encompassing the stages of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, utilizing primary sources in the form of contemporary newspapers, including Berita Buana, Sinar Harapan, Merdeka, and Pelita. The findings indicate that recovery policies were not solely focused on the physical rehabilitation of the market but also involved the restructuring of the trade distribution system through trader relocation and the transfer of distribution functions to the Kramat Jati Central Market. These policies led to changes in cost structures and weakened the bargaining position of small scale traders, as reflected in rising operational costs and reduced economic leverage. The post Malari recovery of Pasar Senen reflects a shift in the role of the state in regulating urban trade, with direct implications for the socio economic conditions of traditional market traders.

Historical and Geographical Reconstruction of the Figure of Dhul-Qarnayn in Surah Al-Kahf
The identity of Dhul-Qarnayn in Surah Al-Kahf has been a perennial debate between Alexander the Great and Cyrus the Great. This study aims to reconstruct Dhul-Qarnayn's identity historically and validate his travel route using a topographical approach. This study uses critical historical methods and a comparative study of interpretations (classical and modern) combined with geographical data. The analysis shows that the characteristics of Cyrus the Great are more in line with the Qur'anic description of a just monotheist leader than Alexander, who worshipped many gods. The topographical approach identifies the "black muddy sea" and the "gap between two mountains" with geographical locations in the Caucasus region and the western border of Persian rule. This study emphasizes the importance of combining archaeological and geographical data in understanding the historical narrative of the Qur'an.

Reconstructing Digital Ethics in Islamic Education through Az-Zarnuji’s Ta‘lim Al-Muta‘allim
Digital cultural transformation has changed the way students learn, communicate, and develop character. While this transformation offers new learning opportunities, it also creates ethical challenges, including misinformation, hate speech, cyber-violence, digital plagiarism, and the weakening of adab in academic interaction. This study focuses on reconstructing the principles of learning ethics in Az-Zarnuji’s Ta‘lim al-Muta‘allim into a digital ethics framework for Islamic education. Specifically, it examines five key principles: sincerity of intention, careful selection of teachers and learning environments, wara’ or moral caution, disciplined time management, and respect for the dignity of knowledge. This research employs a qualitative library-based method. The primary source is Ta‘līm al-Muta‘allim, while secondary sources include scholarly works on Islamic education, digital ethics, digital literacy, and digital citizenship. The data are analyzed through critical reading, thematic categorization, conceptual synthesis, and the mapping of classical ethical values into contemporary digital-ethics competencies. The findings indicate that Az-Zarnuji’s ethical principles can be reconstructed into a framework of “digital adab,” consisting of academic integrity, information prudence, communication ethics, disciplined digital time use, and responsibility for preserving the dignity of knowledge. This framework can be applied in Islamic Religious Education, school culture, family guidance, and the governance of educational technology use. Thus, Islamic education is positioned not merely to adapt to technological change but also to provide moral direction for shaping an ethical digital civilization.

The Existence of the Davos Factory in the Midst of the Dutch East Indies Government's Economic Depression in Purbalingga 1931-1939
The global economic depression of the 1930s, which also rocked the Dutch East Indies, had a significant impact on the colonial economic structure, particularly on the plantation sector and the sugar industry, the mainstay of the Javanese economy. In the Banyumas Residency area, this situation was marked by declining production and rising unemployment. Amidst these unstable economic conditions, the Davos Factory in Purbalingga was able to survive and maintain its business continuity. This study aims to examine the background to the establishment of the Davos Factory in the context of the economic depression, analyze its existence during the period 1931–1939, and identify factors that supported its resilience. This study uses a historical method that includes heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Research sources were obtained from colonial archives, contemporary newspapers, company documents, and interviews with historical witnesses. The results of the study indicate that the sustainability of the Davos Factory was supported by adaptation strategies through product diversification, consistency in maintaining quality and taste identity, adjusting production scale to market conditions, and strengthening internal social networks through a hereditary labor recruitment system. The Davos factory also served as an economic pillar for the surrounding community. These findings demonstrate that small-scale local industries had sufficient capacity to survive the pressures of the colonial economy.

Environmental Degradation of the Loji River in Pekalongan City and the Emergence of a Community Movement 1980–2014
This study aims to examine the factors of environmental changes that occurred in the Loji River as well as community memories regarding the river in the 1980s until the emergence of a community movement. This research employs the historical method which consists of four stages: heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. In addition, this study also uses the oral history method to explore community memories regarding the condition of the river in the 1980s. Changes in the condition of the Loji River began to appear in the 1990s. These changes were marked by the use of the river as a disposal site for textile and household waste, the decrease in water discharge due to the construction of diversion channels, and the narrowing of the river caused by development along in the riverbanks. Community memories indicate that in the 1980s the Loji River was still in relatively good condition and was used for various daily activities, such as bathing, washing, swimming, and fishing. However, the condition of the river gradually declined until in 2014 a community movement emerged through the establishment of the Komunitas Peduli Kali Loji (KPKL). This community was founded as a from of public concern for the condition of the Loji River in Pekalongan City by carrying out various activities, one of which is river clean-up actions as an effort to encourage the community to maintain the cleanliness and sustainability of the river.

Al Jam’iyatul Washliyah's Digital Dawah to Responding Challenges of 5.0 Era
This study aims to map the ideal da'wah model in the Al Jam'iyatul Washliyah organization with the title Al Jam'iyatul Washliyah's Digital Dawah to Responding Challenges of the 5.0 Era. The objectives of this study: 1. How are the methods and media of Al Jam'iyatul Washliyah's dawah? 2. How is the relevance of Al Jam'iyatul Washliyah's dawah media? This study uses the Krippendorff’s Qualitative Content Analysis measurement model, a research technique that can produce conclusions that can be replicated or validated while still considering the context. Content analysis is a research technique that produces various conclusions by systematically and objectively identifying the specific characteristics of a text. Six steps in analyzing content are: Unitization, sampling, recording or coding, reduction, inference, and narration. The findings of this study are: 1. The method of dawah Al Jam'iyatul Washliyah is with wisdom, mau'izah al-hasanah, and mujadalah billati hiya ahsan. The dawah media of Al Jam'iyatul Washliyah are: a. Oral Media, b. Written Media, c. Amali Media. 2. Al Jam'iyatul Washliyah's dawah is still relevant in society, but it is necessary to improve the methods, models, media and techniques more modern. This dawah model is important to discuss with the arguments: 1. Dawah is the spirit of Islam, without dawah activities Islam will not develop to areas that are difficult to reach and even feared will die. Remote areas are vulnerable points to the death of Islamic teachings and sharia if they do not receive serious attention, especially throughout Indonesia in general and the remote areas of North Sumatra in particular. 2. Serious efforts are needed to update the developments of the times and always upgrade every device in the organizational structure of Al Jam'iyatul Washliyah and even be able to create new prototypes or models in dawah if they do not want to be left behind.

From Nationalism to Islamic Resistance: Shamil Basayev and the Transformation of Chechen Struggle during the First Chechen War (1994–1996)
The First Chechen War (1994–1996) marked a significant transformation of the Chechen resistance from an ethno-nationalist movement into a struggle increasingly framed through Islamic narratives. While previous studies have largely focused on security, nationalism, and political violence, limited attention has been paid to the role of individual actors in shaping this ideological shift. This article examines the role of Shamil Basayev in the transformation of the Chechen resistance from nationalism to Islamic resistance during the First Chechen War. This study employs a qualitative historical approach combining historical methods, literature review, and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). Data were collected from academic publications, historical documents, media archives, and other secondary sources related to the conflict. The findings reveal that the early phase of the Chechen resistance was primarily driven by nationalist aspirations for independence and self-determination. However, prolonged warfare, military asymmetry, limited international support, and the influence of transnational Islamic networks contributed to a gradual ideological transformation. Shamil Basayev emerged as a key agent of change by incorporating Islamic symbols, narratives of jihad, and religious legitimacy into the resistance strategy. This transformation was reflected in shifts in legitimacy, mobilization, and collective identity. The study concludes that the Islamization of the Chechen resistance was a historically constructed process shaped by local political conditions, global Islamic influences, and the agency of key actors. It demonstrates how religion functioned as a dynamic source of legitimacy and political mobilization in modern conflicts.

Baju Bodo from a Cultural Perspective: Exploring the Meaning of Traditional Dress in Bugis-Makassar Culture
This study aims to examine the symbolic meanings of Baju Bodo, the traditional attire of the Bugis-Makassar community, analyze its aesthetic interpretations in contemporary contexts, and explore the transformation of its meanings amid social and cultural change. Employing a qualitative approach with a descriptive-interpretative method, this study is based on a library research design. Data were collected through an extensive review of relevant scholarly literature, previous studies, and cultural documents, and were analyzed using Roland Barthes’ semiotic framework and the perspective of cultural aesthetics. The findings reveal that Baju Bodo functions not merely as traditional clothing but also as a cultural symbol that represents social stratification, moral values, collective identity, and the worldview of the Bugis-Makassar community. The symbolism embedded in its colors, forms, and patterns of use reflects a complex system of cultural values and social norms that has been transmitted across generations. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that modernization, globalization, social media, and the fashion industry have contributed to a transformation in the meaning of Baju Bodo, shifting its function from a predominantly symbolic cultural artifact toward a stronger emphasis on aesthetic expression and individual representation. Nevertheless, Baju Bodo continues to serve as a significant marker of cultural identity and local heritage. Therefore, its preservation should extend beyond maintaining its physical form to encompass the safeguarding and revitalization of the symbolic meanings and cultural values embedded within it.

Catur Piwulang of Sunan Drajat: The Humanitarian Turn in the History of Islamic Da'wah in Java and its Relevance to Islamic Education
This study is motivated by the importance of re-examining the da'wah strategies of the Walisongo, which contributed significantly to the Islamization of Java through peaceful, adaptive, and human-centered approaches. One of the most prominent figures in this regard was Sunan Drajat, whose teachings of Catur Piwulang emphasized social concern and the dignity of human beings. This study aims to analyze Catur Piwulang as a form of humanistic da'wah in the history of Islamization in Java and to examine its relevance to Islamic education. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using library research and a historical-hermeneutic perspective. Data were collected from books, scholarly articles, and historical sources related to Sunan Drajat’s da'wah, Islamic humanism, and Islamic education, and were analyzed through content analysis and historical analysis. The findings reveal that Catur Piwulang—which teaches giving a cane to the blind, food to the hungry, clothing to the naked, and shelter to those exposed to rain—represents a da'wah strategy oriented toward fulfilling basic human needs, upholding human dignity, and strengthening social solidarity. These values reflect the principles of Islamic humanism and correspond with the humanistic theories of Paulo Freire and Abraham Maslow. Furthermore, Catur Piwulang demonstrates strong relevance to Islamic education by promoting empathy, social responsibility, justice, and humanitarian awareness. In conclusion, Sunan Drajat’s Catur Piwulang can be understood as a form of humanistic da'wah that remains relevant as a paradigm for developing moderate, inclusive, and socially civilized Islamic da'wah and education.

Mbah Ndoro Payung: History, Epigraphy, and Religious Tourism of the Tomb
This study examines the historical and spiritual values contained in the tomb of Mbah Ndoro Payung (Syekh Bentong) in Gresik as part of the local Islamic cultural heritage. The research focuses on three main aspects: the history of Mbah Ndoro Payung, an epigraphic study of Islam on his tomb, and an analysis of the tomb's role as a religious tourist destination. This study uses qualitative methods with historical and epigraphic approaches. The historical approach is used to trace the life and contributions of Mbah Ndoro Payung in the process of Islamization in Java. Meanwhile, the epigraphic approach is used to analyze the inscriptions on the tombstone to reveal the identity, religious messages, and cultural symbols contained therein. The research findings indicate that Mbah Ndoro Payung was a Chinese-Muslim Islamic missionary who played a role in the spread of Islam through cultural, social, and humanitarian approaches. Epigraphic analysis revealed inscriptions of Surah Ash-Shaff, verse 13, and the shahada on Mbah Ndoro Payung’s tombstone, as well as Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 257, on his wife’s tombstone. These inscriptions demonstrate strong Islamic values while also illustrating the process of acculturation between Islamic traditions and Majapahit culture, as reflected in the ornamentation and style of the tombstones. In addition to its historical and religious significance, Mbah Ndoro Payung’s tomb continues to serve as a vibrant socio-religious space through the tradition of the “haul,” pilgrimage activities, and the community’s religious practices. The site also holds potential for the development of religious tourism, which can support the preservation of local Islamic cultural heritage and provide economic benefits to the surrounding community.

Venetie van Java: Reinterpreting Kota Lama Semarang from a Historical and Tourism Perspective (1824–2024)
During the colonial era, Semarang earned the nickname Venetie van Java as a reflection of the city’s character, which was supported by a network of rivers, canals, and rapidly expanding maritime activities, making it an important center of trade and administration on the northern coast of Java. In this context, Kota Lama served as the core of colonial urban development, shaping Semarang’s spatial structure, economic activities, and historical identity. This study aims to analyze the development of Kota Lama between 1824 and 2024 and to examine the dynamics of its transformation into a cultural heritage-based tourism area using historical methods that include heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The research findings indicate that the demolition of the fort in 1824 marked a turning point in the area’s functional shift from a defensive zone to an open city integrated with the colonial economic system and urban development. Entering the 20th century, the Kota Lama experienced a decline due to shifts in the economic center and the orientation of development policies. However, since the early 21st century, revitalization through a conservation approach based on heritage tourism has successfully revived the area as a cultural heritage space with historical, educational, and economic value, thereby reflecting the sustainable transformation from a colonial fortified city into a cultural tourism destination that is adaptive to the times.

Religion-State Relations: Roland Barthes' Semiotic Analysis of the Architecture of the Putra Putrajaya Mosque, Malaysia
The Putra Putrajaya Mosque is a symbolic representation of Malaysia's religious-state relations that constitutionally establishes Islam as the Religion of the Federation. However, an analysis of 121 traveller reviews on Instagram and TripAdvisor showed that 90.9% of visitor narratives only highlighted visual aesthetics without touching the ideological dimension of architecture, indicating the workings of mythical mechanisms that naturalize messages of power. This research aims to uncover the denotative, connotative, and mythical meaning of the architectural elements of the Putra Mosque as a representation of religious-state relations, as well as dismantle the mechanism of exnomination that makes the ideological construction of the state appear to be aesthetically justified. The study used a qualitative approach with the Roland Barthes semiotics framework through triangulation of field observations, in-depth interviews with five multi-layered interviews, and netnography of 121 tourist reviews. The results of the study showed that the seven architectural elements of the spatial position facing the Prime Minister's Office, the capacity of 15,000 worshippers, the pink granite dome, the 116-meter octagonal tower, the integration of Lake Putrajaya, arabesque ornamentation across civilizations, and the dual functions of tourism and worship work as a layered marking system. Connotatively, these elements build the Islamic narrative as the moral foundation of an institutionalized modern state. At the mythical level, exnominations have proven to be effective in disguising the ideological content behind visual beauty so that it is accepted by the public as natural naturalness.

The Construction of the Waduk Gajah Mungkur and its Influence on the Socio-Economic Development of the Wonogiri Community
Infrastructure development during the New Order era served as one of the state’s instruments for driving economic growth and social transformation. One such strategic project was the construction of the Gajah Mungkur Reservoir in Wonogiri Regency, Central Java. This study aims to analyse the background to the construction of the Gajah Mungkur Reservoir and its impact on the socio-economic development of the Wonogiri community from the perspective of state-led development. The research employs a historical method with a qualitative approach through four stages: heuristics, source criticism, interpretation and historiography. The research sources consist of government archives, development reports, statistical data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), contemporary newspapers, as well as various secondary sources in the form of relevant books and academic articles. The research findings indicate that the construction of the Gajah Mungkur Reservoir was not only driven by the need for water resource management and flood control, but also formed part of the state’s development strategy to address structural issues in Wonogiri, such as low agricultural productivity, limited water resources, poverty, and high labour out-migration. The existence of the reservoir has brought about socio-economic changes, including increased irrigation-based agricultural productivity, the emergence of new economic sectors such as fisheries and tourism, and rising community incomes. On the other hand, it has led to social changes in the form of population relocation and changes to people’s livelihoods. It can therefore be concluded that the construction of the Gajah Mungkur Reservoir has had an impact on the socio-economic sector of the Wonogiri community.

Integration of the Adiwiyata Program in Social Sciences Learning as a Means of Strengthening Environmental Awareness at SMP Negeri 1 Karanganom
This study aims to analyze the integration of the Adiwiyata Program into Social Studies (IPS) learning as an effort to strengthen students' environmental awareness at SMP Negeri 1 Karanganom. This research is motivated by the importance of developing environmentally conscious character in students through learning integrated with environmental issues. The study used a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The research informants consisted of the principal, social studies teachers, the Adiwiyata coordinator, and students of SMP Negeri 1 Karanganom. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, with validity testing using source and technique triangulation. The results show that the integration of the Adiwiyata Program into Social Studies learning has been carried out through lesson planning, implementation of teaching and learning activities, and the instilling of environmentally conscious behavior in schools. Teachers integrated environmental values into the Social Studies material through contextual learning activities. The program has resulted in increased students' environmental awareness, although several obstacles remain, such as differences in students' levels of understanding and limited supporting facilities. Thus, the integration of the Adiwiyata Program into Social Studies learning contributes to fostering students' environmental awareness.

Adaptation Strategies of Smallholder Tobacco Farmers in Bojonegoro in Response to Climate Variability and the Economic Crisis, 1996–2000
This study examines the adaptation strategies adopted by smallholder tobacco farmers in Bojonegoro in response to climate variability and the economic pressures of the 1997–1998 economic crisis during 1996–2000. It addresses the limited historical research on the interaction between climate variability and economic crises in shaping tobacco farming. Using a historical method with a socio-economic approach, the study applied heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Data were obtained from statistical archives of Statistics Indonesia (BPS), archives of the Indonesian Sweetener and Fiber Crops Research Institute (Balittas), and interviews with tobacco farmers in Bojonegoro. The findings show that the 1997 El Nino, the 1998–2000 La Nina phenomena, and rising production costs during the economic crisis created significant challenges for tobacco farming. Farmers responded by selecting productive land, adjusting cultivated areas, and diversifying crops according to seasonal conditions and economic constraints. These strategies reduced production risks and supported household livelihoods. The study concludes that the sustainability of tobacco farming in Bojonegoro was largely determined by farmers' adaptive capacity in responding to environmental and economic change.

Religion–State Relations during the Reign of Umar ibn Abd Al-Aziz (717–720 CE): An Ethical State Model in Classical Islamic Politics
This study examines the relationship between religion and the state during the reign of Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz (717–720 CE) from the perspective of Islamic political history. It addresses a significant gap in the existing literature, which has predominantly portrayed Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz as an exemplary moral ruler while paying limited attention to the structural relationship between religious and political authority under his administration. Employing a qualitative library-based method, the study adopts intellectual and political historical approaches to analyze classical Islamic sources alongside contemporary scholarship. The analysis focuses on four key dimensions: political legitimacy, the role of religious scholars, administrative reform, and the ethical orientation of the state. The findings reveal that Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz neither separated religion from the state nor instrumentalized religion solely to legitimize political power. Instead, he developed an integrative model in which religion functioned as the normative foundation of governance, while the state operated as an ethical institution responsible for realizing justice, accountability, and public welfare. This study argues that his administration represents an early articulation of the ethical state in classical Islamic political thought. Its novelty lies in reinterpreting Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz's governance as an institutional model of religion–state relations rather than merely an example of personal piety, thereby contributing to a more structural and theoretical understanding of classical Islamic political thought.

Japan’s Expansion into the Dutch East Indies in the Context of the Greater East Asia War (1930–1945): An Economic-Political Approach
This study aims to analyze Japan’s survival strategy during the Greater East Asia War through its expansion into the Dutch East Indies from 1930 to 1945, as well as its impact on local communities. The main issues examined are the driving factors behind the expansion and the impact of the military occupation on the population. This study employs historical methods, examining primary sources such as newspaper archives and contemporary documentary photographs, as well as secondary sources in the form of books and scholarly articles. The results indicate that the motives for expansion were driven by wartime economic factors, military strategy, and the Hakko Ichiu ideology. The occupation had far-reaching political consequences through the dismantling of long-standing colonial structures, as well as the exploitation of natural and human resources, which worsened the socioeconomic conditions of the population. The study’s conclusion affirms that this expansion was a vital survival strategy for Japan in the face of Western powers.

Bemo Rejuvenation and Social Conflict in Jakarta 1995-1997
This article examines the renewal policy of bemo in DKI Jakarta during 1995-1997 and its social impacts on bemo drivers and owners. It addresses two questions: how the policy was implemented and what economic, administrative, operational and social problems emerged during the transition from bemo to Angkutan Pengganti Bemo (APB). This study employs the historical method, consisting of heuristics, source criticsm, interpretation and historiography. Primary sources consist of newspaper archives between 1995 and 1997 and photographic archives from the National Library of Indonesia, supplemented by books, theses and scholarly articles. The findings show that the policy was implemented through the replacement of registered bemo with four wheeled venichles and the regulation APB routes. Its impelentations, however, faced low compensation for old vehicles, cotsly down payments and installments, incomplate vehicle documents, delayed route permits, organizational levies and route conflicts. Consequently, the policy only partially replaced the old fleet and placed small scale drivers and owners in a more vulnerable economic position. The study concludes that transport modernization was not merely a technical policy but also reshaped the livelihoods of informal transport actors.

Philosophical Values Contained in the Sedekah Paret Tradision in the Villange of Terusan Dalam, Sumber Marga District, Telang, Banyuasin Regency
This study aims to analyze the historical background of the Sedekah Parit tradition, describe its implementation process, and examine the philosophical values embodied in the tradition in Terusan Dalam Village, Sumber Marga Telang District, Banyuasin Regency. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach using the historical method, which consisted of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis followed the qualitative analysis model of Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the Sedekah Parit tradition originated from the community’s belief in supernatural forces and gradually transformed with the spread of Islam into a tradition centered on expressing gratitude to Allah SWT. The implementation of the tradition consists of five stages: cleaning the irrigation canals, slaughtering a black native chicken, preparing nasi uduk (coconut rice), reciting Surah Yasin and offering collective prayers, and concluding with a communal feast.

From Emancipation to Women’s Education: An Intellectual History of R.A. Kartini’s thought 1899–1904
This study examines the evolution of Raden Ajeng Kartini’s thinking from the concept of emancipation to the establishment of a school for girls during the period 1899–1904. The research is motivated by the conditions of Javanese society during the colonial era, which was still influenced by patriarchal culture and feudal customs that restricted women’s freedom and access to education. The study aims to explain the emergence of Kartini’s critical consciousness, the development of her ideas on emancipation, and the realization of her ideas through education. The research employs Kuntowijoyo’s historical method, which encompasses heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography, utilizing colonial archives, Kartini’s letters, contemporary newspapers, and various supporting literature. The results of the study indicate that the experience of being confined fostered the growth of Kartini’s critical awareness of gender injustice, which evolved into ideas of emancipation emphasizing freedom, equal rights, and education as a means to elevate women’s dignity. These ideas were realized through the establishment of a girls’ school in Rembang as a concrete manifestation of her struggle. This study demonstrates that the transformation of Kartini’s thinking from criticism of gender inequality to educational practice contributes to the fields of intellectual history, women’s historiography, and the history of education in Indonesia.

Reconstruction of the Spanish Conquest by Tariq bin Ziyad: A Critical Historiographical Analysis in a Global Historical Perspective
This study aims to reconstruct the Spanish conquest by Tariq ibn Ziyad in 711 CE through a global historical and critical historiographic approach. This study is motivated by the dominance of classical historiographic narratives that tend to present the conquest as a mere heroic story, without considering the complexity of the social, political, and geopolitical contexts that underlie it. This study uses a qualitative method with a historical-critical approach through literature study, source criticism, and comparative analysis of Islamic and Western historical narratives. The results show that the Spanish conquest was not merely a military expansion, but part of the geopolitical dynamics of the Mediterranean region influenced by the internal crisis of the Visigoth Kingdom, adaptive military strategies, and social interactions with local communities. In addition, this event had a significant impact on shaping the interconnectedness of civilization between the Islamic and Western worlds, particularly in the fields of science, culture, and politics. Thus, this conquest needs to be understood as a multidimensional and interconnected historical process. This research emphasizes the importance of a critical historiographic approach and a global perspective in the study of Islamic history to produce a more contextual, integrative understanding, free from narrative simplification.

Voltaire’s Ambivalent Representation of Islam: An Intellectual History Analysis of the XVIII Century Enlightenment
Voltaire’s critical stance toward religion constitutes a controversial discourse within Enlightenment intellectual history, particularly regarding his satirical critiques of religious dogma and clerical institutions. However, his position on Islam reveals a unique, non-monolithic characteristic that has rarely been examined as a central theme in Voltaire scholarship. Utilizing the Historical method with an Intellectual History approach, this study conducts a descriptive textual analysis by identifying, classifying, and synthesizing textual representations of Voltaire’s ambivalence toward Islam across his corpus within the eighteenth-century intellectual context. The findings indicate that critique and appreciation coexisted simultaneously without a linear chronology, showing no significant shift in his attitude throughout his career. This study challenges previous discourses that have tended to position Voltaire within a dichotomous or chronological framework, offering a more nuanced analytical model that enriches Voltaire scholarship and intellectual history by showing how conflicting representations coexist within a single corpus.

The 1990 Anthrax Outbreak: A Historical Study of the Causes of the Outbreak in the Dairy Perusahaan Inti Rakyat (PIR) Program in Central Java
The implementation of the Dairy PIR Program in Semarang and Boyolali Regencies, the exact cause of which remains uncertain. This study aims to investigate the causes of the outbreak using the historical method proposed by Kuntowijoyo, which consists of five stages: topic selection, heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography. The findings indicate that anthrax had existed in Boyolali Regency long before the implementation of the Dairy PIR Program, as documented in several colonial newspapers published in 1870, 1879, and 1934. These findings suggest that the source of anthrax infection had been present in the region long before the implementation of the program. Furthermore, the high mobility and density of livestock within the Dairy PIR Program, combined with an implementation that placed greater emphasis on increasing milk production than on strengthening animal health management, created condition conducive to the spread of the outbreak.

Safavid Knowledge Tradition for Science Integration in Islamic Education
The Safavid civilization represents one of the most significant periods in Islamic history, making substantial contributions to the advancement of knowledge through the integration of religious sciences and rational sciences. This study aims to analyze the contributions of the Safavid civilization to the development of knowledge and to examine its implications for the integration of science within Islamic education. Employing a qualitative approach through library research, the study draws upon data collected from books, scholarly journals, and other relevant academic sources. The data were analyzed descriptively through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that scientific and intellectual progress during the Safavid era was supported by governmental policies, the establishment of madrasas and libraries, and the patronage provided to scholars and intellectuals. These developments fostered significant achievements in philosophy, astronomy, mathematics, medicine, art, architecture, and calligraphy. Furthermore, the Safavid intellectual tradition successfully integrated reason, revelation, and spiritual intuition, particularly through the philosophical thought of Mulla Sadra, thereby preventing a dichotomous separation between religious and secular knowledge. This study demonstrates that the Safavid intellectual tradition provides a historical and epistemological foundation for the contemporary paradigm of science integration by illustrating how the harmonious relationship between religious and rational sciences can address the persistent dichotomy of knowledge in Islamic education. The findings indicate that the Safavid model of scholarship is not only historically significant but also practically applicable to the development of integrative curricula, interdisciplinary learning approaches, the strengthening of research culture, and educational practices that balance scientific competence with Islamic values. This research contributes a historical perspective on knowledge integration as an alternative framework for addressing the persistent dichotomy of knowledge in contemporary Islamic education.

Religion as a Counter-Hegemonic Strategy: A Study of KH. Hasyim Asy’ari from Billings’ Perspective
This study aims to analyze the conditions that enabled KH. Hasyim Asy’ari’s religiosity to become a strategy of resistance against colonial domination, rather than merely an expression of religious nationalism or a historical event in the struggle for independence. This study also extends the application of Dwight B. Billings’ “Religion as Opposition” framework to the context of anti-colonial Islam in Indonesia. The results indicate that KH. Hasyim Asy’ari’s success in transforming religion into an instrument of resistance was determined by the fulfillment of three structural prerequisites. First, the position of the kiai as an “Organic Intellectual” who maintained an emotional bond with the santri and peasant classes. Second, the organizational autonomy of the Tebuireng Pesantren and Nahdatul Ulama, achieved through economic self-reliance and the rejection of colonial subsidies, thereby creating a space free from colonial cultural hegemony. Third, the construction of a “Plausibility Structure” through the Jihad Resolution fatwa, which established theology as the basis for the obligation to wage war (fardhu ‘ain). In conclusion, KH. Hasyim Asy’ari’s movement was a manifestation of a well-developed positional warfare strategy, proving that religion can metamorphose into an effective counter-hegemonic ideology when supported by leadership that mobilizes the community, institutional autonomy, and a new plausibility structure.

Teaching Ottoman History through Teams Games Tournament to Improve Students’ Remembering and Understanding
Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning in schools is often dominated by one-way lectures, resulting in passive student participation and limited development of the cognitive abilities of remembering (C1) and understanding (C2). This study aimed to describe the implementation of the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) model and examine its contribution to students’ remembering and understanding of Ottoman history based on the revised Bloom’s Taxonomy. A descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design was employed, involving 28 students from class VIII F at SMPN 2 Colomadu. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with six purposively selected students, documentation, and students’ learning outcomes. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicated that TGT increased students’ participation and learning interest and supported the development of remembering (C1), as demonstrated by their ability to recall historical facts without consulting their notes. TGT also supported understanding (C2), as reflected in students’ ability to explain the role of Sultan Muhammad Al-Fatih and the factors contributing to the progress and decline of the Ottoman Dynasty in their own words. However, its benefits were not experienced equally by all students because participation and comprehension were influenced by individual learning interest. These findings suggest that teachers can use TGT as an interactive alternative to lecture-based instruction while combining it with other methods to accommodate diverse student characteristics. The study also provides empirical insight for developing cooperative and game-based models for teaching Islamic civilization history.

Religious Character Formation in the Digital Era Through MTSN 2 Surakarta’s Boarding School System
Character education in the digital era requires a holistic and integrative approach. This study analyzes the implementation of religious character education through the boarding school program at MTsN 2 Surakarta. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using an interactive model. The findings show that religious values are internalized through a 24-hour dormitory ecosystem, structured worship habituation, regulated gadget use for one to two hours daily, Islamic digital literacy, and humanistic mentoring by musyrif and musyrifah. These strategies encourage students to move from externally controlled compliance toward moral autonomy and independent religious awareness. The integration of madrasah and dormitory systems offers a comprehensive approach to developing academically capable, spiritually resilient, socially responsible, and digitally literate students. With contextual adaptation, this model may serve as a best practice for other boarding madrasas.

Buya Hamka’s Historical thought and its Relevance to Islamic Education in Indonesia
This study aims to analyze Buya Hamka’s historical thought, identify the educational values contained within it, and explain its relevance to Islamic education in Indonesia. The research employed a qualitative approach through library research. Data were collected from Buya Hamka’s works and various relevant academic sources and analyzed using content analysis and descriptive-analytical methods. The findings reveal that Hamka viewed history not merely as a record of past events but as a means of understanding Sunnatullah, developing human awareness, and drawing lessons for life. His historical thought is founded on three main principles: tawhid as a spiritual foundation, reason as an instrument for critically and objectively understanding historical facts, and morality as the primary value derived from historical events. The educational values embedded in this perspective include strengthening faith, fostering noble character, encouraging critical thinking, promoting exemplary conduct, developing responsibility, and building awareness in shaping civilization. The study concludes that Buya Hamka’s historical thought remains highly relevant to Islamic education in Indonesia, particularly in nurturing learners who possess knowledge, strong character, and a balanced integration of intellectual, spiritual, and moral dimensions amid the challenges of modernization.
