- Introduction to Spiritual Intelligence for Non-Muslim Students at a Higher
Learning Institution
Authors: Rohana Hamzah; Ahmad Muhaimin Mohamad, Fatmawati Latada, Anita Abdul Rani, Nur Athiroh Masyaa’il Tan Abdullah, Christina Andin Abdullah, Zarina Mohd Ali (Author
Abstract: The overemphasis on science and technology for economic and national growth, driven by Western influence, has led to the neglect of the intrinsic value of spiritual and social dimensions in education. This issue undoubtedly affects non-Muslim students as well. To address this, the Department of Social Sciences at the Centre for Human Sciences, Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah, introduces and exposes non-Muslim students to the knowledge of spiritual intelligence. The aim of this study was to examine students’ self-understanding of spiritual intelligence based on test scores for elements of God consciousness, self-transcendence, and self-determination. A total of 209 first-year non-Muslim students participated in this study. Data were analyzed quantitatively using descriptive analysis, mean rank comparison, and correlational analysis. The results from the descriptive analysis indicated that non-Muslim students understood all key concepts in spiritual intelligence. The mean rank comparison showed a significant difference only in the God consciousness element between Hindu students and others. Finally, correlation analysis revealed that all three variables positively correlated with each other. The findings of this study suggest the need to continue efforts to impart the knowledge of spiritual intelligence to non-Muslim students in higher education institutions to improve well-being within society, regardless of race and individual beliefs.

- Tolerance Development Model for Students of Dayah Salafiyah in Aceh
Authors: Sri Suyanta; Saifuddin Saifuddin, Syamsul Bahri (Author
Abstract: This study delved into the model of tolerance among Acehnese Dayah Salafiyah students, aiming to bridge the gap in understanding their perceived tolerance amidst societal stigmas. Data from two Dayah Salafiyah, Dayah Darussalam Labuhan Haji, and Dayah Ummul Ayman Samalanga, were gathered through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and document studies. Data analysis including data reduction, presentation, and conclusion. This analysis was conducted continuously throughout the research, from data collection to conclusion. Findings indicated a tendency towards passive tolerance among students, which aligned with Islamic principles of tasamuh and was integrated into their education. Despite negative perceptions, students exhibited principles of equality, harmony, and respect for diversity, challenging accusations of intolerance. However, shortcomings existed in exploring contemporary tolerance issues, especially in teacher involvement and understanding beginner-level students. Encouraging the implementation of existing tolerance is vital for Dayah’s internal and external stakeholders. These findings deepened the understanding of tolerance models in Aceh’s Dayah Salafiyahs, warranting consideration by researchers in future studies. Additionally, the authors recommend that other researchers consider the results of this study as a reference for their research or surveys, emphasizing the need for developing tolerance indices tailored to the unique characteristics of each region to demonstrate tolerance towards others.

Authors: Suryanto Suryanto; Habiburrahim Habiburrahim, Saiful Akmal, Zamzami Zainuddin, Muhammad Safwan Safrul, Fatayatul Hanani (Author
Abstract: This research explored the impact of the Grammarly application on students’ writing performance and perceptions, particularly during the thesis writing stage. Writing is a complex cognitive process requiring strategic planning, organization, grammar, and vocabulary skills. The study focused on students majoring in English Language Education at Ar-Raniry State Islamic University, specifically those in their ninth semester from the 2018 cohort. A purposive sample of 42 students, all at the thesis writing stage and users of Grammarly, was selected from a total of 127. Additionally, three lecturers, serving as thesis supervisors, were randomly selected for interviews from a pool of 20. The research employed both qualitative and quantitative methods, using survey questionnaires and interviews for data collection. Results indicated that Grammarly was a beneficial tool for students, significantly aiding in thesis writing and reducing the time spent on checking grammatical errors. The surveys revealed unanimous student agreement on Grammarly’s positive impact on their writing process. Interviews with lecturers supported this, noting an improvement in the quality of theses written by students who used Grammarly. This study underscored the effectiveness of Automated Writing Evaluation (AWE) tools like Grammarly in enhancing students’ writing skills and outcomes.

- Enhancing Arabic Language Learning in Higher Education: Leveraging
E-Campus as an Online Learning and Evaluation Platform
Authors: Mahyudin Ritonga; Adam Mudinillah, Eva Ardinal, Tauhid Tauhid, Talqis Nurdianto (Author
Abstract: The Industrial Revolution era is a time that requires the connection between technology and various aspects of life, including education. But there are still many educational institutions that have not responded well regarding the use of technology in learning, therefore this study aimed to determine the use of E-campus as an online learning media and Arabic learning evaluation media in higher education. The research was conducted at Islamic State University of Batusangkar, the approach used was quantitative with a survey research design. The results of the study stated that E-campus could be used as an alternative in carrying out Arabic language learning, completeness of features, ease of access, and clarity of access as evidence that E-campus was effectively used for online classes in Arabic language learning, until now no features have been found in E-Campus that can be used to evaluate and measure Arabic speaking skills. The utilization of E-campus in Arabic language learning brings great benefits and influences for lecturers and students. The limitation of this study is that researchers did not design an E-campus platform that has complete features to measure four Arabic speaking skills for students, therefore future researchers can conduct research aimed at creating an E-campus model that has more complete features.

- Unraveling the Merdeka Curriculum: Exploring Differentiated
Instruction’s Impact on Student Learning
Authors: Samsudi Samsudi; Eko Supraptono, Yuli Utanto, Shohihatur Rohman, Tasliati Djafar (Author
Abstract: Differentiated instruction, as the application of the ‘teaching at the right level’ principle, which involves tailoring teaching to student’s needs and the diversity of their interests and readiness, needs to be developed in Merdeka Curriculum implementation. This research aimed to measure the influence of learning components, including variables such as planning, implementation, and learning assessment, as well as learning elements, including variables such as content, processes, learning outcomes, and the learning environment, on the potential for differentiated instruction in elementary and secondary education. This research employed a quantitative method, using path analysis to measure the significance of the influence of independent variables (learning components and learning elements) on the potential for differentiated instruction. The results indicated that three variables significantly influence the Potential for Differentiated Instruction (Y), namely: Learning Components/ Learning Assessment (X3) with a t-value of 12.817 > ttable1,985; Learning Elements/ Learning Processes (X5) with a t-value of 10.223 > t ttable 1,985; and Learning Outcomes/ Achievements (X6) t-value 9.817 > ttable 1,985. Thus, the potential for differentiated instruction in Merdeka Curriculum implementation in elementary and secondary education can be maximized if teachers can plan and implement learning assessments accurately, manage differentiated instruction processes, and apply differentiated instruction outcomes.

- The State Intervention in the Islamic Education in Aceh: Threats or
Opportunities'
Authors: Mujiburrahman Mujiburrahman; Teuku Zulfikar, Shukri Ahmad, Hasnul Arifin Melayu, Jasafat Jasafat (Author
Abstract: The enactment of the Aceh Governance Law (UUPA) allows the state’s intervention to the nature of Islamic boarding schools in Aceh, which is originally connected to Aceh’s socio-cultural system into the formality of the State’s administrative structure. This article utilized a triangulation methodology, which involved the integration of document analysis, observation, and in-depth interviews. The study generated data from participants located within the dayah, including 2 teungku chik (leadership), 2 teachers, and 5 students; and participants located outside the dayah, including 2 academics, 2 social figures, and a director of Department of Dayah Education. The findings of our study indicated that the institutional frameworks of dayah had undergone modernization, with significant improvements in infrastructure, integration of curricula, enhancement of human resources (teungku-teacher and santri-student), and expansion of collaborations and networks. This modification granted the dayah of Aceh a more favorable standing within the Acehnese social hierarchy. This study highlighted that dayah institutions retained their cultural foundation as centers of Islamic instruction despite the changes they experienced. Instead, the incorporation of State action has led to the establishment of institutional and intellectual prosperity; it appeared that state intervention was more of an opportunity than a threat.

- Pancasila as the Core Value for Character Building in Islamic Higher
Education Institutions
Authors: Tabrani ZA; Warul Walidin, Saifullah Idris, Miftachul Huda (Author
Abstract: Higher education, as the continuation and culmination of the formal education process, has a role and responsibility to optimize character building based on the nation’s philosophy, namely Pancasila. Indonesia today is far from Pancasila’s hopes. This article explored the landscape of internalizing the nation’s philosophical values through exposure to concepts, practices, and challenges at UIN Ar-Raniry. This research used qualitative methods with a naturalistic approach carried out at Universitas Islam Negeri Ar-Raniry, Banda Aceh, Indonesia. The sample in this study was taken using a non-probability sampling technique. Meanwhile, data collection was carried out using triangulation techniques. The data were analyzed using inductive analysis techniques with an interactive qualitative approach, comprising data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions. The research results showed that the process of internalizing the nation’s philosophical values at UIN Ar-Raniry was integrated with the tri-dharma of higher education. The values that were built included fundamental, instrumental, and practical values, which were crystallized into five basic character values: religion, nationalism, independence, mutual cooperation, and integrity. Additionally, the university strengthened character through religious moderation activities, Ma’had al-Jami’ah, and other activities supporting student character building, as evidenced by certificates that were integrated with the academic system through a Diploma Accompanying Certificate, also known as SKPI.

- Trend Strategy to Prevent Bullying in Islamic Boarding Schools (Pesantren)
Authors: Muhamad Arif; Mohd Kasturi Nor Abd Aziz, Yuldashev Azim Abdurakhmonovich (Author
Abstract: The presence of bullying within Islamic boarding schools is a serious issue that demands immediate attention and prevention. This research aimed to investigate the factors of bullying, the characteristics of bullying behavior in Islamic boarding schools, and the preventative measures implemented by Islamic boarding schools to shield their students. The research approach employed is a systematic literature review focused on published articles. The data was restricted to articles published from 2013 to 2023. The researchers used PRISMA analysis to analyze the data. The research results found that individual, a supportive environment, parental parenting patterns, particularly authoritarian parenting patterns, and aggressive or violent video or film elements were all factors in bullying. Several strategies had been put into effect, including the following: creating a fun cottage movement (GPM) program, strengthening conflict and emotional management, carrying out regular outreach and training regarding the dangers of bullying, cyber bullying, and legal education for bullies, implementing an anti-bullying curriculum, and others. Besides, more comprehensive research findings indicated that Islamic boarding schools must implement character formation based on Josephson’s “Character Counts” theory with six main pillars to prevent bullying behavior among students.

- Dating Practices: A Moral Negotiation in Pesantren
Authors: Basri Basri; Mohd. Nasir, Maskanatul Fiqiyah, Syamsul Rizal, Zainuddin Zainuddin (Author
Abstract: The main aim of this article was to see the public space of Pesantren as an arena for negotiating Islamic moral ideas and modernity. The practice of dating in Islamic literature is linked to immoral action because it is contrary to Islamic teachings that prohibit relationships outside marriage. It has become an important part of Islamic moral education. Dating in Pesantren is prohibited, and it is a relationship outside marriage. However, there are still many students who develop romantic relationships with members of the opposite sex in the public spaces of Pesantren. Through ethnographic studies, researchers observed Santriwati’s dating practices and interviewed them to determine the moral basis for these actions. Based on these observations at the Pesantren Madrasah Ulumul Qur’an (MUQ) Langsa, the practice of dating was carried out by santriwati by hiding behind buildings and rooms in the Islamic boarding school. This secretive and tactical action was carried out not to confront the rules made by the ustadz but as part of a negotiation between obeying the rules and the choice to continue dating. The researcher concluded that, even though the Islamic boarding school public space is filled with moral values produced by kyai and ustadz, the students still can carry out actions outside the Islamic boarding school's ideas of morality.

- Fuzzy Delphi Method for Developing Model of Islamic Self-Identity in
Malaysian Delinquent Adolescents
Authors: Mariam Abd Majid; Abur Hamdi Usman, Nurzatil Ismah Azizan, Noor Hafizah Mohd Haridi, Noraini Mohamad, Zainab Ismail, Aisyah Humairak Abdul Rahman (Author
Abstract: The research gap in this article is due to lack of religious appreciation in the soul as well as a low level of self-identity among adolescents that occur in many cases. Youth self-identity development programs are much in need as a guide for dealing with the issues of youth involvement in social problems. Therefore, this study aims to present the components of the development model for delinquent adolescent self-identity according to the Islamic perspective based on the consensus of experts. To fulfil a particular set of this objective, we applied the Fuzzy Delphi method with a 7-point Likert scale to obtain the consensus of the expert group. The findings of the study illustrate that all the components of the self-identity development model of delinquent adolescents according to the Islamic perspective, which are the induction set, spiritual development, physical development, and follow-up of the main components, obtain expert consensus with an agreement level of more than 75% percent, the threshold value was less than 0.2 (d<0.2) and the value a-cut exceeds 0.5. Finally, the components of this model could be used as a basis and guide in efforts to develop self-identity of delinquent adolescents according to the Islamic perspective.

- Cultural Barrier in the Regeneration Process of Islamic Political Party in
Indonesia
Authors: Muhamad Nastain; Irwan Abdullah, Zuly Qodir, Hasse Jubba, Bambang Cipto (Author
Abstract: This research aims to describe the cultural barriers of the National Awakening Party (Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa or PKB) in promoting its members as candidates in direct presidential and vice-presidential elections. In the four general elections from 2004 to 2019, PKB failed to place its members as candidates. This condition is presumed to be due to cultural barriers embedded within the party’s internal dynamics and the cadre system. The research method employed in this study combined qualitative descriptive approaches by integrating literature studies with Focus Group Discussions (FGD) involving seven (7) competent informants comprising three media editors, two academics, one activist, and one politician. The data obtained from the FGD is the primary guide to trace document data. The data presentation involves triangulation of FGD data, document data, and field observation results. The data findings revealed three main pieces of evidence for cultural barriers: first, egocentrism of leaders and personal dependence, which refers to the positions of Kyai and Islamic Boarding Schools (pesantren) in the PKB cadre system; second, obedience that erases critical thinking, and third, the presence of the “green blood” identity, which holds privileges in the PKB’s cadre ship system. These three cultural barriers are not unique to PKB but are shared by most Islamic political parties in Indonesia.

- Digital Nomad Influence on Malay Work Ethics: Exploring Cultural Dynamics
Authors: Rizqi Anfanni Fahmi; Ris'an Rusli, Amilda Sani (Author
Abstract: The trend of digital nomadism has increased for several years, but limited studies examined digital nomadism from a work ethic view. This study explores the possibility of the Malays being digital nomads using Weber’s Work Ethic and Cultural Adaptationist approach. This study used a qualitative approach with a library research design. A qualitative study was conducted by scrutinizing literature related to digital nomads and Malays’ work ethic. Two primary keywords for obtaining data were “Digital Nomads” and “Malay Work Ethic”. After searching for these keywords, 127 articles, books, and reports were received and sorted again according to research purposes. The selected sources were subjected to thematic analysis to identify patterns, concepts, relations, and meanings gathered from the data. The results show that the Malays will potentially join the digital nomadism trend in the future, but they will preserve Islamic values as their work ethic principles. Digital nomads in the Malay region should adapt to local values to be accepted in local communities. This study contributes to the Malay World study in response to the globalization of the workplace.

- Dynamics of Childless Marriage Through the Lens of Maqasid
Al-Shari’a
Authors: Arbanur Rasyid; Jarudin Jarudin, Idris Saleh, Rayendriani Fahmei Lubis (Author
Abstract: There is a trend among Muslims, especially married couples, not to or delay having children. Meanwhile, having children horizontally is one of the main goals of marriage to continue the human race. This literature research used secondary data which were collected in two ways: manually and online. Manual data comprised information derived from major books on marriage, maqasid al-shari’a, and others. Online data were acquired in the form of articles attributed to research themes using an open journal system. The collected data were subsequently analyzed through data reduction, data display, and verification techniques. This research found that the goal of marriage in Islamic law referred to both horizontal and vertical aspects. Vertically, marriage aimed to display one’s level of allegiance to God, who created him. This obedience was accompanied by a faith test in the shape of the ability to restrict and control desires in the face of the magnitude of human sexuality’s challenges and God’s call to produce pious offspring. Horizontally, the aim of marriage was directly tied to oneself, others, and the surrounding environment. Marriage, in this perspective, served a social function by creating a communal family. Families could be formed and developed when there were children and offspring. As a result, the presence of children in a marriage is essential for establishing society, nation, and civilization, because those all cannot exist without children.

- The Aceh Governor’s Authority in Approving Regional Police Chief
Appointments: An Analysis within the Unitary State Framework
Authors: Suryo Sumantri Darmoyo; Husni Husni, Eddy Purnama, Zulfadli Zulfadli (Author
Abstract: This research aims to understand the fundamental philosophy behind the Aceh Governor’s authority in approving the appointment of the Regional Police Chief. It also aims to define and explore the concept of the Aceh Governor’s authority in approving the appointment of the Regional Police Chief within the framework of the unitary state paradigm. Finally, it seeks to identify the most effective procedure for the Aceh Governor’s approval in appointing the Regional Police Chief. This research follows a normative juridical approach, employing a statutory, conceptual, and historical method. The results of the research in this study show that the authority of the Governor of Aceh in approving the appointment of the Regional Police Chief, in accordance with the unitary state paradigm, can be attached to the provisions of Article 205 of the UUPA, which states that the appointment of the Regional Police Chief must be with the Governor’s approval, which is basically contrary to Article 18 of the 1945 Constitution, which states that regions exercise autonomy as wide as possible but are limited by government affairs regulated by law. There is no synchronization between one law and another, nor is there synchronization of legal regulations regarding the authority of the police and Wilayatul Hisbah.

- Conflict and Displacement: The Life Stories of Internally Displaced
Families (IDFs)
Authors: Mary Melmar G. Teves (Author
Abstract: Internal displacement is a global phenomenon that generates massive effects on humanity. The Philippines is one country prone to internal displacement, ranging from natural causes to conflict-induced displacement. The armed conflict that transpired in an urban city in Mindanao, Philippines, produced unimaginable outcomes for the lives of internally displaced families (IDFs). Thus, exploring their experiences yields a broader grasp of internal displacement. Since the topic of internal displacement is intermittently concentrated, the study could provide supplementary literature in the field of social sciences, particularly in studying displacement. The study utilized phenomenological inquiry to delve into the lived experiences and coping mechanisms of the IDFs during their displacement. Through Colaizzi’s thematic analysis, findings were depicted in six (6) emergent themes. As to the participants’ experiences, the themes were: Terror Brings Deep Stress, Inhumanity of War, and Displacement in Laden with Adversities. The themes detailed the inhumane repercussions of conflict-induced displacement. Nevertheless, the IDFs remarkably subdued these adversities through their coping mechanisms, which were thematically described as Patience Beats Obstacles, Positivity Survives Difficulty, and Tightened Faith.

- Women and Investment Decision in Sharia Instruments: Moderating Effect of
Financial Spirituality Orientation
Authors: Siti Amaroh; Ari Kristin Prasetyoningrum, Husna Husain (Author
Abstract: This research is based on a gap in authority between men and women in making investment decisions where women are considered less financially literate and less struggling. Therefore, this study examines how financial literacy and trust affect women’s investment decisions in Sharia instruments with financial spirituality orientation as a moderating factor. The sample was selected from 256 women on the northeastern coast of Central Java, Indonesia. Structural Equation Modeling with a Partial Least Square method was used to test the data. The findings showed that the higher the financial literacy, trust, and financial spirituality orientation, the better the decision level in the Sharia investment decisions. The financial spirituality orientation strengthens the influence of financial literacy on Sharia investment decisions. However, financial spiritual orientation cannot intervene in trust in financial institutions. This finding suggests that women consider their spiritual beliefs while making financial decisions, but spirituality cannot nullify trust’s ability to affect Sharia investment choices. The implication is that when gender equality is acknowledged, women can get an education, work, income, and be more financially literate. The role of financial spirituality is in its mission of establishing the life-balances.

- Posthumanism in Indonesian Short Stories and their Relevance to the
Development of Critical Literacy
Authors: Dipa Nugraha (Author
Abstract: Posthumanism discusses the uncertainty of humankind’s future and the changing perspectives on humanity and life. In the Indonesian context, the issues of posthumans have not been discussed, while the usage of robot and artificial intelligence technologies has been proliferating in the related industry for several years. This article discusses two Indonesian short stories, Andina Dwifatma’s “Linus Damono” (2018) and Erwin Setia’s “Cerita Dua Robot dan Pemuda Penyendiri” (2019). Close reading is used in the data collection and analysis of the two short stories. It reveals that the short stories display non-human subjects' narratives. The two short stories also show non-human subjects that are/ are not humanistic and humans’ (total') control over non-human subjects. Hence, the two short stories present two contradictory concerns on the projection of the human future: utopia and dystopia. The issues revealed from the short stories are essential to create awareness of the potential benefits and threats of using robotic and artificial intelligence technologies. Furthermore, this article also shows that the two short stories can be used as reading materials to develop critical literacy on posthuman issues.
