Ambiguitas dan Distorsi Makna dalam Al-Qur’an
This research discusses the ambiguity and distortion of meaning contained in letters in the Al-Qur'an. In semantic studies, ambiguity or unclear meaning can be caused by several things, including words that have general characteristics or sentences that are never one hundred percent homogeneous. Meanwhile, distortion occurs due to a lack of knowledge or action on the part of each individual who wants to understand the verse according to his wishes and wants to stimulate other people to deviate from understanding the meaning of the verse of the Qur'an. By using the literature review method, the researchers tried to collect material systematically about the ambiguity and distortion of meaning contained in several verses of the Qur'an from previous studies. In this research, the researchers describe examples of ambiguity and distortion of meaning in the Qur'an. There is ambiguity in the meaning of surah al-Baqarah verse 228 and an-Nisa verse 43 from Kamaluddin Abunawas' research, surah al-Baqarah verse 223 and an-Nisa verse 34 in Iswah Adriana's research, surah al-Baqarah verse 220 in Salman et al.'s research. And there is a distortion of meaning in surah al-Baqarah verses 191 and 255 from Septiani et al.'s research, surah Thaha verse 121, an-Nisa verse 164, al-A'raf verse 179 from AN's Nirvana research. And in this research the researchers also try to provide an attitude towards facing ambiguity and distortion of meaning in the verses of the Qur'an.

Manhaj Al-Khash: Studi atas Tafsir Fath Al-QadirKarya Imam Al-Syaukani pada QS. Al-Hajj
Manhaj tafsir is one aspect in the discipline of Tafsir Al-Qur'an which is used to see the tendency of a book of interpretation.This study attempts to see the tendency of the Book of Tafsir Fath Al-Qadir in QS.Al-Hajj by Imam Al-Syaukani, both in terms of its general method and its special method.This study is considered important to be carried out because it is intended to determine Al-Syaukani's tendency in interpreting the Qur'an in his tafsir work, because it is known that he came from a Shiite background.This study is a qualitative study with the presentation of descriptive analysis whose data collection uses literature studies.The author concludes that Al-Syaukani in his general method, he uses the tahlili method and predominantly uses bi al-ra'y sources, while his special method is always consistent with his eleven steps, such as presenting verses and grouping them into certain groups of verses, analyzing language, mentioning related narrations, etc. As for the alleged Shiite tendency, the author did not find it in Al-Syaukani's interpretation in QS. Al-Hajj.

Peran Madrasah Kabupaten Nunukan dalam Mengaktualisasikan Islam Berwawasan Kebangsaan untuk Meneguhkan Sikap Moderasi Beragama
The aim of this research is to determine the role of madrasah in Nunukan Regency in efforts to internalize Islam with a national perspective to enforce religious moderation for their students. This research uses samples from several madrasah in Nunukan Regency, where the madrasah used as samples are considered to have applied national values ​​that are oriented towards a moderate attitude. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection uses direct observation, interviews and documentation. The results of this research are: First, the methods or methods used by madrasas are varied in applying Islam with a national perspective which reinforces an attitude of religious moderation; MA Al-Anshari Nunukan, which is a school under the auspices of the Islamic Boarding School Foundation, has from the start instilled the attitude of hubb al-wathan min al-īman (loving the homeland is part of faith) in its students, so that religion and love of the nation and state are one unit. , while at MA YIIPS Sebatik Timur the teachers not only teach religious values ​​to students, but they also actively involve students in national holiday activities to commemorate the services of the nation's predecessors, so that students are born who have a spirit of nationalism. Learning related to nationality, such as Civics, is also used to instill Islamic values ​​with a national perspective in students as is done at MI Roudhatut Tarbiyah Nunukan. Second, the urgency of national insight in madrasas is that: it can be an effective tool in preventing radicalism, strengthening national identity, and can foster an active attitude towards mutual tolerance.

Application of Islamic Religious Education Learning in Improving Moral Values at SDN 2 Kedung
This study holds significant academic and practical utility as it contributes to nurturing a generation with strong ethical character amid the declining morality of students. The primary objective is to examine the application of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) values and their subsequent impact on student quality and moral development at SDN 2 Kedung. Using a qualitative approach, the research identifies core values such as honesty, discipline, tolerance, and compassion, while simultaneously exploring pedagogical challenges encountered by educators in consistenly instilling these values. The empirical findings reveal that systematic operationalization of Islamic values not only deepens students’ religious understanding but also plays a crucial role in catalyzing character formation and moral literacy, particularly specific barries at the public elementary school level. Policy implications include evidence-based recommendations such as enhacing PAI teacher training, designing synthesized values-based instructional modules, and establishing ongoing regulation supervision by municipal education authorities to systematically institutionalize religious values in students’ daily lives.

Living Hadith in the Digital Age: Exegetical and Aesthetic Reception of Hadith in Gita Wirjawan’s YouTube Podcast
Digital media, particularly dialogic podcasts on YouTube, have emerged as new spaces for the dissemination and interpretation of the Prophet’s hadith. This article examined the phenomenon of living hadith in religious podcasts on the Gita Wirjawan YouTube channel, featuring dialogues with Habib Husein Ja’far Al Hadar and Muhammad Quraish Shihab. The study aimed to analyze the reception of hadith by the speakers in the form of oral discourse and audio-visual representation, focusing on hadith concerning intention as well as the teachings of Islam, īmān, and iḥsān. This research employed a descriptive-analytical approach through content analysis, using the reception theory framework developed by Saifuddin Zuhri Qudsy and Subkhana Kusuma Dewi. The findings revealedl that exegetical reception was reflected in contextual interpretations linking relate the Prophetic tradition to contemporary ethical, philosophical, and social issues. Meanwhile, aesthetic reception appears through visual elements such as natural landscapes, spatial design, bookshelves, and symbolic representations of ulama, which fostered emotional engagement while reinforcing religious authority. These findings suggested that digital podcasts function not only as a medium of da‘wah but also as a dynamic arena for the construction of hadith meaning. Academically, this study contributes to the development of living hadith studies by positioning digital media as a significant locus in the transformation of religious authority and reception in the contemporary era.

Al-Raisuni's Maqasid al-Shari’ah as an Audit Framework for Indonesian Green Sukuk
This study evaluated Indonesia's Sovereign Green Sukuk through Ahmad Al-Raisuni's tripartite Maqāṣid al-Sharī'ah framework, examining whether the instrument achieved substantive environmental objectives or merely fulfilled administrative compliance. Employing normative-juridical documentary analysis, the research examined three primary source categories: POJK No. 18/2023 governing issuance requirements; Al-Raisuni's foundational Arabic texts; and the Ministry of Finance's Green Sukuk Allocation and Impact Reports (2018–2022). Content analysis with deductive reasoning was applied to assess operational effectiveness, governance architecture, and reporting mechanisms relevant to greenwashing mitigation. The findings indicated that Indonesia's framework exhibited stronger impact-measurement alignment than market-centric models, as evidenced by a government-reported cumulative emission reduction of 10.6 million tonnes of CO₂ across 2018–2022, through infrastructure projects in remote 3T regions including flood control systems and solar PV installations at disaster monitoring posts. The study contributed a hierarchical audit framework that operationalised Al-Raisuni's Partial, Special, and General Maqāṣid Objectives as evaluative checkpoints for assessing use-of-proceeds governance and greenwashing resilience.

Strengthening Halal Industry MSMEs through Islamic Financing: A Triple Helix Ecosystem Perspective
Islamic financing has become a critical mechanism for strengthening halal micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), particularly within the expanding Islamic economic landscape. However, prior studies tend to examine Islamic financing, halal MSMEs, and institutional collaboration separately, leaving a gap in understanding their integrated role within a unified ecosystem. This study addresses this gap by analyzing the role of Islamic financing in supporting halal MSMEs through the Triple Helix framework, which highlights the interaction among government, industry, and academia. Employing a qualitative systematic literature review, this study synthesizes evidence from peer-reviewed research on Islamic finance, halal industry development, and collaborative governance. The findings demonstrate that Islamic financing contributes to MSME performance not only through improved access to ethical financial resources but also through the synergy of regulatory support, financial innovation, and knowledge development. Government ensures regulatory clarity and infrastructure, Islamic financial institutions provide sharia-compliant and digital financing solutions, while academia enhances financial literacy and innovation capacity. This study argues that the effectiveness of Islamic financing is contingent upon the integration of these institutional roles within a cohesive ecosystem. The contribution of this research lies in offering an integrative conceptual framework that links Islamic financing with the Triple Helix model, providing strategic insights for strengthening sustainable halal MSME development and advancing inclusive Islamic economic systems.

Cash Waqf Optimization and the Improvement of Higher Education Quality: A Comparative Study between the Islamic University of Indonesia and IPB University
This study analyzed the optimization of cash waqf in improving the quality of higher education, using Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) as a case study from the perspective of Islamic Economic Law. This study employed a qualitative normative-empirical approach with analysis of the 2024 Financial Report of the UII Waqf Board Foundation and a comparative study with Bogor Agricultural Institute (IPB), this research identified cash waqf management strategies and their implications for social goals. The reserach findings indicated that cash waqf management at UII reflected a structured management system oriented toward the sustainability of funds. These practices have successfully maintained the sustainability of the principal funds (hifz al-mal), yet have resulted in a limited proportion of benefit distribution. A comparison with IPB revealed a strategic difference in balancing the goals of sustainability and social impact, with IPB demonstrating more diverse program innovation and impact-oriented reporting. This study contributed by presenting a comparative analysis model for the implementation of cash waqf, providing insights into the strategic balance between investment and distribution to optimize the achievement of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah and SDG-4. The application of these findings can serve as a reference for higher education waqf institutions in formulating more innovative and impact-oriented management strategies.

Conceptual Metaphors in Al Mayadeen Regarding Opposition Groups' Attacks on Bashar Al Assad's Regime
Amid the proliferation of issues covered by the Middle Eastern media, linguistic analysis is crucial for uncovering ideological biases and underlying perspective in the coverage. This study aimed to analyze the conceptual metaphors present in Al Mayadeen’s coverage of opposition group attacks against the Bashar Al Assad regime, as well as to examine the influence of social practices on the channel’s media ideology. The study employed a qualitative descriptive method, with data collected through an observation and note-taking technique from four news articles between November 28–29, 2024. The data were analyzed using Lakoff and Johnson’s conceptual metaphor theory and Norman Fairclough’s social practice theory. The results revealed that Al Mayadeen shaped perceptions of the conflict through specific metaphors, consistently portraying the opposition as terrorist actors and the regime as the defensive force. The novelty of this study lies in the integration of cognitive semantics and critical discourse analysis to examine one of the 2024 Syrian conflicts. Practically, this research contributes to strengthening media literacy policies and monitoring international journalism to filter out ideological narratives and propaganda in global conflict.

The Conceptualization of Journey in Surah Al-Baqarah: A Cognitive Semantic Study
This study was motivated by the importance of understanding conceptual metaphors in the Qur’an as a means of representing human experience and constructing abstract meaning. One of the dominant metaphors is the concept of journey, particularly in Surah al-Baqarah, which contains various representations of human spiritual, moral, social, and physical human experiences. This study aimed to analyze the conceptual metaphor of journey in Surah al-Baqarah using a cognitive semantic approach based on Lakoff and Johnson’s Conceptual Metaphor Theory. The study employed a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques in the form of documentation and identification of lexicons related to the concept of journey in Surah al-Baqarah. The data were analyzed through source-domain and target-domain mapping to identify conceptual relations and meaning classifications. The findings revealed 23 verses containing seven major lexical forms associated to the concept of journey. These data were then classified into four conceptual domains: spiritual, moral, social, and physical. The analysis showed that the concept of journey in Surah al-Baqarah does not merely refer to physical movement, but also functions as a conceptual framework representing guidance, struggle, responsibility, morality, social solidarity, and divine ease. The novelty of this study lies in its systematic mapping of the concept of journey as a major cognitive structure in Surah al-Baqarah. The findings are expected to contribute to the development of cognitive semantic studies of the Qur’an and provide implications for more contextual and interdisciplinary approaches to Qur’anic interpretation and Islamic studies.

A Conceptual Study of Al-Qur’an and Islamic Psychology for Cryptocurrency Scams
Fraud in cryptocurrency investment is a serious moral and economic deviation within the contemporary digital economy, which impacts the spiritual and psychological well-being of individuals. The Qur'an explicitly prohibits fraud and the unlawful acquisition of wealth (al-bāṭil). This study aimed to develop a conceptual framework by integrating Qur'anic ethical values with principles Islamic psychology to understand the dynamics of cryptocurrency scams, including the behavioural motivations of perpetrators and the psychological conditions of victims. The research used descriptive qualitative method based on a literature review, employing a Thematic Interpretation (tafsīr mauḍū‘ī) approach and Islamic psychology analysis. The results of the study showed that perpetrators of cryptocurrency scams were driven by the dominance of nafs al-ammārah bi al-sū', which is rooted in greed and materialism, while victims were vulnerable due to ignorance and weak spiritual self-control. The Qur'anic framework offers solutions through tazkiyatun nafs, muhasabah, and muraqabah as the ethical foundation for dealing with the complexities of modern digital finance, while contributing to the Islamisation of science.

Taqdīm-Ta’khīr in Qur’anic Discourse: A Maqāṣidic Analysis of al-Baqarah 45 and 153
This study examined the function of taqdīm-ta’khīr (foregrounding and postponement) in Qur’ānic discourse through a maqāṣidī analysis of Q.S. al-Baqarah [2]: 45 and 153. The study was grounded in the importance of linguistic structure as an integral component of Qur’anic objectives, particularly in shaping ritual and ethical orientations. It aimed to explain why ṣabr (patience) is consistently positioned before ṣalāh (prayer) and to identify the higher objectives reflected in this syntactic arrangement. This research employed a qualitative library-based method using textual analysis rooted in Qur’anic rhetoric (balāghah) and maqāṣidī tafsīr, with attention to syntactic structure, discursive context, and objective orientation. The findings demonstrated that the precedence of ṣabr over ṣalāh is not merely rhetorical emphasis but a deliberate Qur’anic strategy for structuring religious priorities. In Q.S. al-Baqarah [2]: 45, ṣabr functions as an inner discipline that enables meaningful prayer and supports the preservation of religion (ḥifẓ al-dīn). In Q.S. al-Baqarah [2]: 153, ṣabr represents spiritual resilience during trials, oriented toward preserving human life and communal stability (ḥifẓ al-nafs). This study contributed to maqāṣidī Qur’anic studies by demonstrating that linguistic structure functions as an internal indicator of al-Qur’ān’s higher objectives.

Toward National Harmonization: A Dialogue Between Islamic Education and Multiculturalism in Indonesia
This research aimed to examine the synergy between Islamic education and multicultural values as a strategic instrument for achieving national harmonization in Indonesia. Indonesia is a pluralistic nation rich in ethnic, cultural, and religious diversity, yet historically vulnerable to horizontal conflicts. Utilizing a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, this study explored into the collective experiences of educators and students. Data analysis was grounded based on Talcott Parsons’ Structural Functionalism theory (AGIL) and James A. Banks’ dimensions of multicultural education. The results indicated that the integration of Islamic education and multiculturalism functioned as an ideological framework that shaped and transformed dogmatic worldviews into inclusive-humanist perspectives. Dialogue strategies implemented through religious moderation and a curriculum repositioning that emphasized equality and prejudice reduction serve as the primary keys to mitigating potential conflict. This study concluded that Islamic education played a vital role as a pillar of social integration in preserving Pancasila values amidst global dynamics and the challenges of the millennial era.

This study aimed to examine the role of parents in fostering self-confidence in children aged 4–6 years. The study employ a qualitative approach with a case study method, involving three parents at Roudhoh Plus Kindergarten in Purwakarta. Data were collected through interviews, questionnaires, and documentation, and their validity was tested through triangulation of sources, techniques, and time. The results showed that empathetic communication, consistent appreciation, the habituation of responsibility, and parental role modeling of self-confidence contributed significantly to the development of self-confidence in children. A supportive family environment and responsive parenting styles strengthened this process. The novelty of this study lies in revealing the synergy of various aspects of parenting in building children's self-confidence, with implications for early childhood education institutions and policymakers to develop parenting education programs to improve children's social-emotional development.

Business Ethics and Organizational Sustainability: A Narrative Study on Economic, Social, and Environmental Dimensions
Business ethics and sustainability are widely recognized as interrelated and essential foundations for long-term corporate resilience. Amidst increasing economic, social, and environmental challenges, the relationship between ethical behavior and sustainable practices is becoming increasingly clear. This study aimed to explore the ethical principles that contributed to economic, social, and environmental sustainability, with a focus on their application in Indonesia. This study employed a narrative literature review approach by synthesizing insights from 50 high-quality journal articles (indexed in Q1 and SINTA 3) published between 2020 and 2025. The results indicated that integrating ethical values with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices were crucial for promoting sustainable business performance. The triple bottom line framework emphasized a balance between economic growth, social justice, and environmental protection. However, challenges included limited infrastructure, high implementation costs, and organizational resistance to change. This study highlighted ethical leadership, digital transformation, and green innovation as key drivers of sustainability, particularly in the context of Indonesia as a developing country. The novelty of this research lay in its integrative method, which simultaneously analyzed business ethics, CSR, and ESG within a single framework of organizational sustainability grounded in the triple bottom line in Indonesia as a developing country.

Digital Tabarruj: The Phenomenon of Muslim Women Adorning Themselves on Social Media from a Contemporary Tafsir Perspective (Analysis of QS. Al-Ahzab/33:33 and QS. An-Nur/24:31)
The phenomenon of digital tabarruj has become a pressing social phenomenon in the modern visual era because it reveals the tension between religious piety and online self-expression. Contemporary tafsir studies attempt to address this issue by recontextualizing the prohibition of tabarruj as a moral ethic for digital culture. This research aims to reinterpret QS. Al-Ahzab/33:33 and QS. An-Nur/24:31 through a combination of Tafsir Al-Maraghi and Fazlur Rahman's Double Movement theory, which methodologically allows for a connection between the normative meaning of the text and the current social context. The research method uses a qualitative approach based on literature studies and digital literature. The research findings indicate that the moral principles of the verse, from the context of the Jahiliyyah era to the digital age, emphasize simplicity, honor, and self-control in adornment. The novelty of this study lies in the application of double-movement hermeneutics to articulate the ethics of Muslim women's adornment in digital space, while also offering theoretical implications for the development of contextual interpretation and practical implications for the formation of digital ethics literacy based on Islamic values of modesty.

Mapping Corruption Related Themes In Malaysia’s Local Government Audit Reports 2021 - 2024
Local governments are critical to effective public service delivery and democratic accountability, yet they frequently face governance challenges. This study systematically investigates thematic trends in corruption-related audit findings within Malaysian local councils, leveraging a qualitative thematic code co-occurrence mapping in ATLAS.ti 24. Drawing on Auditor General (AG) reports from 2021 to 2024, the analysis assesses audit findings across four geographically diverse Malaysian states, which constitute Selangor, Sabah, Johor and Kelantan. The findings reveal persistent structural weaknesses, mainly in procurement, planning and enforcement systems. The co-occurrence mapping indicates that Sabah and Selangor exhibit more pronounced high-risk zones, characterized by a complex interplay of systemic deficiency issues, while Johor and Kelantan expose distinct challenges related to oversight mechanisms and accountability frameworks. This research provides a data-driven understanding of prevalent governance gaps at the local level and highlights various administrative realities across states. The study suggests targeted and contextually adapted governance reforms that emphasize the necessity of strengthening internal controls and oversight capacities to foster greater integrity in Malaysian local government.

Contextualization of the Ethics of the Prophet Muhammad's Preaching from the Perspective of Qur'ani (Interpretation in the Digital Age)
This study aims to contextualize the ethical principles of the Prophet Muhammad’s da‘wah as articulated in Q.S. An-Nahl [16]:125, Q.S. Ali Imran [3]:104, and Q.S. Fussilat [41]:33 through a comparative analysis of Tafsir Al-Maraghi and Tafsir Al-Misbah, and to examine their relevance to contemporary digital da‘wah practices. Employing a qualitative descriptive method with a literature-based inquiry, this research analyzes classical and modern exegetical sources. The findings demonstrate that the three core principles of Islamic propagation bil hikmah, al-mau‘izhah al-hasanah, and al-mujādalah billatī hiya aḥsanretain strong applicability within today’s digital environment, which is characterized by rapid information flow, high interactivity, and susceptibility to misinformation and polarization. Both tafsirs emphasize wisdom, moral exemplarity, and constructive dialogue as ethical foundations of a humanistic and adaptive approach to da‘wah. This study concludes that Qur’anic ethics serve not only as a normative framework but also as a practical guide to uphold integrity in digital religious communication. The results imply the necessity of digital da‘wah ethics literacy among preachers so that religious messages can be delivered accurately, responsibly, and for the public good.

The Qur'anic Counter-Narrative: A Systematic Literature Review on Deconstructing Zionist Territorial Claims and Establishing Epistemic Hegemony
This study critically examines the Zionist territorial claims over Palestine and offers a Qur'anic critique within the framework of epistemic counter-hegemony. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology operationalized through the PRISMA protocol, this study conducted a systematic search and screening of literature from selected academic databases. The study incorporates primary sources such as the Qur'an, classical tafsir, and historical documents, alongside secondary data from academic and institutional reports. The findings reveal that Zionist claims contradict Islamic justice, which views land ownership as a divine trust, rather than an exclusive ethnic or religious right. The ecological destruction and forced displacement carried out by Zionism further violate the Islamic principles of justice and social responsibility. This study contributes to the deconstruction of the colonial Zionist narrative by suggesting an alternative model of collective sovereignty based on equality. Ultimately, the research proposes that genuine sovereignty is achieved not through territorial partition, but through cooperative stewardship of land, water, and history, grounded in the principle of tawhid, symbolizing cosmic unity.

Prophetic Educational Theory on Marital Intimacy: Thematic Digital Hadith Analysis
Pregnancy represents a critical phase in Muslim family life, requiring ethical and educational guidance rooted in authentic sources. This study aimed to explore Prophetic educational theory concerning marital intimacy during pregnancy as derived from the sayings of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). Employing a qualitative library-based research design, the study utilised the HadithSoft application to retrieve ḥadīth from 14 canonical collections. The keyword “pregnancy” guided thematic extraction, and only maqbūl (accepted) narrations were included. Data analysis applied Miles and Huberman’s eleventh strategy—constructing logical chains of evidence—to synthesise normative principles. The findings revealed eight core themes forming a Prophetic framework for marital ethics during pregnancy. These results contributed to Islamic reproductive ethics and offered practical implications for antenatal education, healthcare counselling, and family policy, thereby bridging classical guidance with contemporary bioethical challenges.

The Scientific Meaning of Fingerprints as Identity and Punishment in QS Al-Qiyamah (4) and Al-Anfal (12)
The Qur'an mentions the term banaan (fingertips) in two different contexts, namely in QS Al-Qiyamah (4) and QS Al-Anfal (12), both of which contain scientific references that are relevant to modern knowledge. This study employed a qualitative method with a literature review approach to analyze the scientific meaning of banaan in both verses. The focus of the study was on the meaning of banaan as a symbol of human identity through fingerprints (QS Al-Qiyamah: 4) and as an object of punishment in the context of warfare (QS Al-Anfal: 12). Primary sources included Tafsir Al-Azhar, Tafsir al-Muyassar, and the works of Zaghlul al-Najjar, which were compared with modern anatomy, biology, and forensic literature. The results of the study indicated that QS Al-Qiyamah (4) affirms Allah's power in creating the unique identity of every human being through fingerprints, while QS Al-Anfal (12) describes the strategic dimension of attacks on vital points during the Battle of Badr. The novelty of this research lay in the integration of two meanings of identity and punishment in a single comparative analysis, which enhances the scientific approach studying of the Qur'an and opens up opportunities for the integration of modern science into Qur’anic exegesis (tafsir) studies.

Analysis of the Main Obstacles in the Process of Language Environment Formation from Vygotsky's Perspective and Alternative Solutions Offered to Overcome Them
This study aims to identify the main obstacles in creating an Arabic language environment and to discover solutions to them in light of Vygotsky’s theory. The approach used in this study is qualitative. The researcher collected data from various sources and employed multiple tools for data collection, including interviews, observations, and document reviews. The researcher obtained the following results: by adopting Vygotsky’s theory, especially the concepts of the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), scaffolding, and the importance of social interaction, this study identified appropriate solutions to overcome these challenges, including: (1). The limited use of Arabic in students’ daily lives. (2). The lack of interaction with native Arabic speakers. (3). The diverse motivations of students in learning Arabic. (4). Difficulties in understanding Arabic structure and grammar. The proposed solutions to address these challenges include: (1). Scaffolding – teachers should provide gradual guidance by applying Arabic grammar in speech and requiring its use in certain situations, such as classrooms and all institute activities. (2). Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) – applying role-play methods, where students practice becoming speakers in contexts such as interviews, presentations, or conversations in a communication style similar to native speakers. (3). Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) – forming small study groups, where students with better understanding guide those still in the early stages of learning, thereby increasing motivation through interaction with more proficient peers. (4). Social interaction – employing discussion-based learning methods, such as Q&A among students and practical exercises in the form of conversations to strengthen their understanding of Arabic grammar. The application of the ZPD concept allows students to develop their Arabic language skills through guidance from teachers or more competent peers. At the same time, scaffolding provides gradual support until students can use the language independently. Moreover, social interaction is considered a key element in forming an effective language environment.

The Approach of Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen in Responding to Specious Arguments through the Interpretation of Surah Al-Baqarah: An Analytical Study
Starting from the researcher’s interest in the interpretation of the Quran and in refuting the doubts raised about it, the researcher decided to address a topic related to refuting the doubts found in the interpretation of Surah Al-Baqarah, relying on the methodology adopted by Imam Ibn Uthaymin in his works. The choice of this topic is due to its great importance in clarifying the scientific method of dealing with theological and intellectual doubts facing the contemporary Muslim, as well as the scholarly, critical, and precise dimensions found in Ibn Uthaymin’s interpretation. The researcher aims to highlight Ibn Uthaymin’s efforts in refuting doubts, analyzing their content, clarifying the methods of response he employed, and examining how consistent they are with the Salafi methodology in exegesis. The researcher relied on the analytical inductive approach in dealing with the topic, collecting the passages related to doubts from the interpretation of Surah Al-Baqarah, analyzing them, and extracting the principles and methods used in addressing them. Among the most significant findings reached by the researcher is that Ibn Uthaymin’s approach — may Allah have mercy on him — was characterized by a balance between scholarly precision and clarity in presentation, making his refutation of doubts a scientific model that can be utilized in the fields of Quranic exegesis, creed, and Islamic preaching.

Scientific Approach and Spirituality in Islamic Economic Development: A Philosophical Analysis of Science
This study aims to provide both a concise and in-depth discussion of the science approach within the context of Islamic economics. Using a qualitative method based on library research, this study examines recent academic literature to identify research gaps and propose novelty in the construction of Islamic economic epistemology. The findings indicate that the epistemology of Islamic economics is grounded in divine revelation (the Qur’an and Sunnah), integrated with reason and empirical reality; its ontology emphasizes that economic activities are acts of worship and a trust to prosper the earth; while its axiology is oriented toward falah (worldly and eternal well-being), justice, maslahah (public interest), and sustainability. These findings reveal that Islamic economics is tauhidi (monotheistic), integrative, and transformative, serving not only as an alternative but also as a conceptual and practical solution to contemporary socio-economic challenges. The implementation of Islamic instruments such as productive zakat, waqf, and green sukuk demonstrates the practical relevance of Islamic economics in establishing a just, inclusive, and sustainable system.
