Deconstruction of Mubham Hadith: A Swot Strategy In The Internalization of Sincere Character In Elementary Age Children’s Education

Abdul Rohim — 2026-04-20

Character education in elementary-age children requires pedagogical instruments capable of balancing cognitive and spiritual aspects. One material that has significant potential yet is rarely explored is hadith mubham, hadiths in which the identity of the narrator or character remains anonymous. This article aims to analyze in depth the effectiveness of using hadith mubham in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning at the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah level through the perspective of SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats). This study employs a qualitative approach using the library research method. The findings indicate that hadith mubham possesses strategic advantages in instilling the value of sincerity and mitigating narcissistic tendencies in children. Although there are challenges related to methodological complexity and limited visual resources, optimizing the role of educators and utilizing information technology can transform these limitations into opportunities for strengthening spirituality. This article concludes that the quality of character education will improve significantly when hadith mubham is managed through appropriate pedagogical strategies oriented toward the substance of values.

Gilang Viko Perdana — 2026-04-20

Indigenous Dayak communities play an important role in strengthening citizenship through social development rooted in local wisdom. Values such as handep (mutual cooperation), hakok (helping one another), and belom bahadat (living with dignity) form the foundation for social solidarity and collective responsibility. This study aims to analyze how Dayak local wisdom contributes to the strengthening of active citizenship in Central Kalimantan. Using a qualitative method with a literature review approach, this research draws on Coleman’s (1990) theory of social capital and Hoskins and Mascherini’s (2009) concept of active citizenship. The results of the analysis show that the integration of customary values into development programs gives rise to a form of participatory citizenship rooted in local cultural identity. Dayak people function as social agents who strengthen trust, solidarity, and citizen participation in inclusive and equitable social development.

Childfree Choice in Islamic Law: Balancing Individual Rights and Sharia Obligations

Muhammad Hartono — 2026-04-20

The childfree phenomenon increasingly prevalent in modern society creates tension between individual rights to remain childless and syar’i responsibilities regarding marriage and family formation, where classical scholars generally emphasized the obligation of having children as an integral part of marriage while contemporary scholars demonstrate greater flexibility, thus creating a gap in understanding that requires thorough scholarly examination. The objective of this research is to analyze the childfree phenomenon from the perspectives of classical and modern scholars within the framework of contemporary fiqh and to find a balance between individual autonomy and syar’i responsibilities. This research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive analytical library study approach, the population consists of classical and contemporary fiqh literature, the sample was selected purposively including fiqh books, scholarly fatwas, and relevant academic articles, research instruments involve document analysis with data analysis techniques using content analysis and comparative methods to synthesize various perspectives. The research findings indicate that classical scholars generally view having children as a syar’i obligation based on Quranic verses and prophetic traditions, whereas modern scholars acknowledge individual considerations but still emphasize the importance of mutual consultation and agreement within marriage, the contribution of this research to scientific knowledge is providing a balanced theoretical framework in contemporary fiqh that respects individual rights while maintaining Islamic ethical principles in establishing a peaceful family life.

Anti Islamophobia Education With a Social Contract Approach

Muhammad Fuad I — 2026-04-20

One of the current issues in Islamic education is Islamophobia. When examined
more deeply, this issue is closely related to social contract theory. Therefore, it is
interesting to study social contract theory alongside the issue of Islamophobia. This
research employs a qualitative method using a literature review approach for data
collection. The findings show that Islamophobia is an ideology or an intense fear
of Islam, its teachings, or its followers, caused by excessive negative prejudice that
leads to viewing Islam and anything associated with it as evil, dangerous,
extremist, and destructive. Islamophobia has negative impacts on both perpetrators
and victims. Muslims experience intimidation, religious discrimination,
defamation and hoaxes, as well as acts of terror. The emergence of Islamophobia
is triggered by terrorist acts carried out in the name of Islam, which then spread
through politics and mass media, creating a negative social contract effect that
frames Islam as evil, dangerous, and something to be avoided. This makes social
contract theory closely related to the issue of Islamophobia. Social contract theory
itself is a socio-political theory that views law or sovereignty as a product of
agreements among individuals to establish mutual consensus. Solutions that can
be implemented to reduce or address Islamophobia from the perspective of social
contract theory can be carried out both internally and externally. These include
revitalizing social media, international cooperation, halal lifestyle promotion,
conceptualizing jihad, strengthening da’wah, and revising policies and laws.

Cultivating Student Character Through Islamic and Moral Education: Pedagogical Strategies in An Indonesian Primary School

Mei Astutik — 2026-04-20

Early personality development is crucial for student learning success, yet guiding young learners toward moral norms remains a complex challenge in primary education. This study aims to investigate the role, pedagogical methods, supporting factors, and inhibiting factors of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) teachers in shaping student personality at SDN 5 Buntok. Utilizing a qualitative case study design, data were gathered from school educators and students through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, subsequently evaluated via thematic qualitative analysis techniques. The findings reveal that IRE teachers continuously foster student character by serving as supervisors, mentors, role models, and evaluators using lectures, discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and exemplary behavior. While accessible media facilities (LCD projectors, textbooks, and student workbooks) support instruction, individual student inattentiveness during learning presents the primary barrier. This study underscores the vital synergy between teacher modeling and structured learning media in optimizing character education within primary schools.
