The Relationship Between the Quality of Faith and Depression Risk Among Muslims: A Study from the Perspective of Islamic Psychology
This study is motivated by the limited research on the relationship between the quality of faith and depression risk among Muslims, despite its significant impact on mental health and well-being in religious communities. The study aims to explore how religiosity, reflected in practices such as prayer, Qur’an recitation, dhikr, and reflective engagement with Islamic teachings, influences depressive symptoms and emotional resilience. The research adopts a qualitative literature review design, analyzing secondary sources from books, journals, and credible studies published within the last ten years. The sample includes multiple scholarly works focusing on religiosity, Islamic psychology, and mental health, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through systematic literature analysis and thematic synthesis, guided by frameworks from Islamic psychology and contemporary mental health theories. The findings reveal a significant inverse relationship between the quality of faith and depression risk. Higher levels of religiosity were associated with lower depressive symptoms, improved emotional regulation, enhanced self-confidence, and better coping with life stressors. Practices such as reflective recitation of Al-Fatihah and regular dhikr served as spiritual anchors, fostering hope, reducing despair, and maintaining neurochemical balance, including the regulation of endorphins and neurotransmitters. These results align with both the transactional stress and coping theory and psychoreligious models, supporting the protective role of faith in mental health. The study concludes that faith-based practices play a critical role in enhancing psychological well-being among Muslims. The implications include advancing theoretical understanding of Islamic psychology in mental health and providing practical guidance for mental health practitioners, educators, and religious leaders to integrate spiritual interventions into preventive and therapeutic programs. Future research could empirically examine individual differences, demographic factors, and the effectiveness of faith-based interventions in diverse Muslim populations.

Exploring the Impact of Spousal Compatibility (Kafa’ah) on Marital Harmony: A Comprehensive Literature Review
This study is motivated by the limited research on spousal compatibility (kafa’ah), despite its significant impact on marital harmony and family stability. While kafa’ah is a foundational concept in Islamic marital jurisprudence, contemporary scholarship has not fully integrated classical perspectives with modern empirical findings. Therefore, this study aims to systematically explore the dimensions of kafa’ah and analyze how these dimensions influence marital harmony through a comprehensive literature review. The research adopts a qualitative design, synthesizing findings from peer-reviewed journal articles, classical Islamic texts, and contemporary family studies selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through document analysis and examined using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns related to compatibility and marital outcomes. The findings reveal three major dimensions of kafa’ah: religious–spiritual, emotional–communicative, and socioeconomic–cultural compatibility. Religious compatibility consistently emerges as the most influential factor shaping marital stability, while emotional and communication alignment strengthens conflict management and relational intimacy. Socioeconomic and cultural compatibility further supports cooperation in daily marital functioning. These results align with both classical Islamic scholarship and contemporary relationship psychology, demonstrating coherence between traditional jurisprudence and modern scientific understanding. The study concludes that kafa’ah plays a critical multidimensional role in enhancing marital satisfaction, reducing conflict, and strengthening emotional and spiritual bonds. The implications include theoretical contributions to the integration of Islamic family law and family psychology, as well as practical recommendations for marriage counselors, religious leaders, and policymakers to emphasize multidimensional compatibility in premarital guidance. Future research is encouraged to examine kafa’ah using empirical or longitudinal approaches to deepen understanding within diverse cultural contexts.
The Role of Daily Islamic-Based Activities in Shaping Discipline of Early Childhood at RA Maunaturrahman NW Mekar Kute in the 2025/2026 Academic Year
This study aims to examine the role of daily Islamic-based activities in shaping the discipline of early childhood at RA Maunaturrahman NW Mekar Kute in the 2025/2026 academic year. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive design, allowing the researcher to understand the real experiences of children, teachers, and the school principal regarding the habituation of Islamic activities in the early childhood education environment. The informants consisted of the head of RA, three teachers, and 50 students, selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that daily Islamic-based activities, such as greetings, joint prayers, congregational dhuha prayers, short tadarus sessions, and queue habituation, were implemented in a structured and consistent manner, thereby shaping children’s disciplined behavior. The children became accustomed to being punctual, taking turns, respecting their peers, and following rules orderly. The role of teachers and the school principal as role models, along with parental support, were the main factors supporting the success of this habituation. The challenges encountered included children’s natural tendency to play and the limitations of worship facilities, such as prayer garments, prayer mats, and children’s Qur’ans. Overall, this study confirms that daily Islamic-based activities are effective as a means of fostering discipline in early childhood, both at school and at home.
Efforts to Address the Rising Cases of Divorce: Mahmud Syaltut’s Perspective
This study is motivated by the limited research on preventive measures against divorce, despite its significant impact on family stability and social harmony in Muslim communities. The study aims to describe and analyze Mahmud Syaltut’s perspective on overcoming the increasing number of divorce cases. The research adopts a qualitative descriptive design, using literature as the primary source, with data collected by visiting libraries and examining books and scholarly works relevant to the research theme. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis and presented descriptively to provide a comprehensive understanding of preventive strategies. The findings reveal that tackling the rising divorce rate can be achieved through four main measures: selecting a prospective wife with noble morals and strong religious commitment, proposing marriage according to proper Islamic procedures, ensuring that husband and wife uphold their respective rights and obligations after marriage, and avoiding domination or undue interference by parents or extended family in family matters. These results align with the objectives of the study and support existing Islamic legal scholarship emphasizing ethical marital conduct, moral integrity, and family stability. The study concludes that Mahmud Syaltut’s guidance provides practical and ethically grounded strategies that can serve as a reference for married couples, families, and society. The implications encompass theoretical contributions to Islamic family law literature and practical recommendations for policymakers, religious scholars, and community leaders to promote marital education, counseling, and preventive measures against divorce. Additionally, this study identifies future research opportunities on empirical testing of these preventive strategies in diverse social and cultural contexts.
The Role of Adab in the Process of Seeking and Practicing Knowledge from an Islamic Perspective: A Literature Review
This study is motivated by the growing concern over the declining ethical conduct among students and the limited scholarly attention given to the role of adab in the process of seeking and practicing knowledge within contemporary Islamic education. While numerous studies address cognitive and pedagogical aspects, fewer explore the spiritual-ethical foundations that shape meaningful learning. Therefore, this literature review aims to examine how adab functions as a core element in the acquisition, internalization, and application of knowledge from an Islamic perspective. A qualitative literature review method was employed by analyzing classical Islamic works, contemporary academic publications, and key writings of prominent Muslim scholars. The analysis focused on conceptual frameworks of adab, its principles in learning, and its implications for educational practice. The review process included thematic analysis to identify recurring constructs and patterns related to ethical discipline, intellectual humility, teacher–student relationships, and the transformative purpose of knowledge. The findings indicate that adab is foundational in shaping learners’ intentions, attitudes, and behaviors, serving as a moral compass throughout the learning process. Classical scholars emphasize that knowledge devoid of adab leads to superficial understanding and weak character formation. Furthermore, adab fosters sincerity, respect for teachers, disciplined inquiry, and responsible application of knowledge in daily life. The review also highlights that integrating adab into modern education can strengthen spiritual awareness, promote holistic learning, and enhance students’ moral resilience. In conclusion, adab plays a central role in ensuring that the pursuit of knowledge aligns with Islamic ethical values and contributes to the development of morally grounded individuals.
The Implementation of Reward and Punishment in Motivating Female Students’ Learning at Ma Mu’allimat NW Anjani, East Lombok
This study investigates the implementation of reward and punishment strategies to enhance female students’ learning motivation at MA Mu’allimat NW Anjani, East Lombok. The research addresses challenges such as low motivation, tardiness, incomplete assignments, and rule violations, focusing on how structured rewards and educative punishments foster discipline, engagement, and active learning. A qualitative case study design was employed, with data collected through classroom observations, structured interviews with the vice principal, teachers, and students, and documentation of school programs and student achievements. Data analysis followed an interactive model of reduction, display, and verification. Findings indicate that rewards, including certificates of appreciation, symbolic gifts, and public announcements of students’ names, effectively increase students’ pride, self-confidence, and intrinsic motivation. Educative punishments, such as additional assignments or material repetition, promote responsibility and awareness of behavioral expectations. The study also identifies key supporting factors, such as collaboration among subject and homeroom teachers, a supportive school environment, and parental involvement, as well as inhibiting factors, including inconsistent teacher application, limited time and budget, and diverse student perceptions. When applied consistently, fairly, and thoughtfully, the combination of reward and punishment creates a balanced, competitive, and positive classroom environment, motivating students to actively engage in learning while fostering discipline and character development. These findings provide practical guidance for educators and reinforce behaviorist and Islamic educational principles in promoting effective student motivation.
Parent Guardian Participation In Supporting Pondok Programs At Darul Husaini Nahdatul Wathan Diniyah Islamiyah Islamic Boarding School, Sanggeng, Kelebuh Village, Central Praya District
This study investigates the forms and extent of parental (wali santri) participation in supporting the programs of Pondok Pesantren Darul Husaini NWDI Sanggeng, and examines how such participation contributes to the institution’s success and development. Using a qualitative approach, data were obtained through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation analysis. The results reveal three primary forms of participation: intellectual contribution, material support, and direct involvement in pesantren activities. Intellectual contributions include providing constructive input on institutional policies and program planning. Material support is reflected in financial assistance for operational needs and program implementation. Direct involvement encompasses participation in religious events, community service, and other pesantren-led initiatives. Factors that foster participation include strong trust in the pesantren’s leadership, a high awareness of the importance of religious education, and effective communication between the institution and parents. Conversely, obstacles to participation arise from time constraints due to work commitments, limited financial capacity, and insufficient access to information about ongoing programs. The findings underscore that active parental involvement significantly enhances the quality and sustainability of the pesantren’s educational and character-building efforts. Strengthening communication strategies, fostering mutual trust, and creating more accessible opportunities for involvement are essential to further maximize the role of parents in pesantren development.
The Role of Islamic Education Teachers in Shaping Students’ Islamic-Based Character at SDN 2 Montong Beter
Islamic-based character formation in elementary school students is a crucial aspect of education, aiming to ensure that learners not only acquire academic knowledge but also internalize moral, spiritual, and ethical values as guiding principles in daily life. Islamic Education (PAI) teachers hold a strategic role in instilling these values from an early age. This study seeks to address two main questions: (1) How do PAI teachers contribute to the formation of Islamic-based character in students? and (2) What supporting and inhibiting factors influence this process?

Why Allah, The Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent, and Omnibenevolent (also known as ‘The Supreme Lord of The Universal Committee and Divine Council’) Is Not Alleviating The Hardship and Agony of the Palestinian Muslims of Palestine?
This study addresses the persistent humanitarian crisis faced by Palestinian Muslims under the oppression of the Zionist Government of Israel, marked by widespread killings, displacement, and the suffering of women and children. The central problem examined is the theological question of why Allah, described as Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent, and Omnibenevolent, has not yet alleviated the hardship and agony of the Palestinian people. The research aims to explore the divine attributes of Allah within the framework of Islamic theology while also engaging comparative references to broader Abrahamic traditions. Using a qualitative library research design, this study draws upon primary sources including the Qur’an, Hadith, and classical tafsīr, as well as secondary sources such as contemporary scholarly works and journal articles. Data collection was conducted through thematic review and organization of textual materials, while content analysis was applied to interpret the theological significance of Allah’s attributes, particularly the balance between mercy, justice, sternness, and divine tests. The results indicate that, while the suffering of the Palestinian Muslims can be understood as a divine test as mentioned in the Qur’an, it also reflects the broader reality of Allah’s attributes that include sternness and justice towards human ingratitude and disobedience. This dual perspective emphasizes the importance of patience, faith, and steadfastness, while also acknowledging divine wisdom that surpasses human comprehension. The conclusion highlights the need for Muslims to strengthen their belief in Allah’s comprehensive attributes, maintaining faith in His ultimate justice and mercy despite ongoing trials.

A Literature Study on Polygamy Practices in the Context of Islamic Law and Indonesian Legal Framework
Polygamy remains a complex and contested issue in Indonesia, where Islamic legal norms intersect with national regulations, particularly Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage and the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI). This study aims to explore how polygamy is conceptualized in Islamic jurisprudence and Indonesian statutory law, identify the gaps between legal norms and practical implementation, and evaluate opportunities for legal harmonization and gender justice. Employing a qualitative literature study approach, this research systematically analyzed scholarly publications, legal documents, and comparative texts from 2015 to 2024 using purposive sampling. Data were examined through content analysis and legal hermeneutics, focusing on themes such as legal requirements, women’s rights, and socio-legal implications. The findings reveal that while both Islamic law and Indonesian legislation formally permit polygamy under specific conditions—such as fairness and financial capacity—many real-world practices, including unregistered (sirri) polygamous marriages, occur outside legal oversight, leaving women and children vulnerable. The study also highlights the gender asymmetry embedded in current laws, which grant polygamous rights exclusively to men. Comparative insights from countries like Morocco illustrate more progressive alternatives, such as prenuptial conditions limiting polygamy. This research underscores the need for legal reform and reinterpretation of Islamic law in alignment with principles of justice and gender equality. The study contributes to ongoing discourse on Islamic family law, legal pluralism, and human rights in Indonesia.
The Role of Information Technology in Instilling Akhlaqul Karimah in Elementary and Islamic Elementary School Students: A Conceptual Review
In the digital era, Islamic education faces both opportunities and challenges in fostering Akhlaqul Karimah (noble character) among elementary students. The increasing exposure to digital content necessitates a strategic integration of information technology (IT) to reinforce moral and spiritual development. This conceptual review aims to examine the current practices of IT integration in Islamic character education, identify associated challenges and opportunities, and propose a conceptual framework to guide future practice. Using a qualitative conceptual review design, this study analyzed 20 peer-reviewed journal articles and scholarly books published within the last decade. Data were collected using a literature review matrix and analyzed through data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing, following the model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The results indicate that digital tools such as mobile applications, digital storytelling, Islamic multimedia, and e-books are widely utilized to support character education. These tools enhance engagement and provide innovative moral learning experiences. However, challenges such as limited digital literacy among teachers and insufficient infrastructure remain significant barriers. Despite this, the integration of IT offers promising opportunities to personalize learning, expand access to Islamic content, and gamify moral instruction. This study proposes a conceptual framework that bridges Islamic pedagogy with digital innovation, highlighting the pivotal role of educators in guiding ethical technology use. The findings provide theoretical insights and practical directions for curriculum designers, educators, and policymakers seeking to align digital transformation with Islamic moral values.

Conversely, the presence of qualified teachers, engaging teaching methods, and a religiously conducive environment significantly contributed to enhancing students’ reading proficiency.
Formulation of Islamic Educational Thought: An Approach and Literature Review in Islamic Educational Practice
This study examines the models of thought in Islamic education that developed in the course of Islamic intellectual history. Three main approaches are analyzed, namely: (1) the conservative school (al-Muhāfiẓ) represented by al-Ghazālī, with a focus on text-based education (naqli) and metaphysical dimensions; (2) the religious-rational school (al-Dīniy al-‘Aqlāniy) as depicted in the thoughts of the Ikhwān al-Ṣafā which emphasizes the balance between revelation and reason; and (3) the pragmatic school (al-Dzarā’i‘iy) pioneered by Ibn Khaldūn, which emphasizes the historical and sociological approach in education. The method used is a literature review with a critical examination of relevant primary and secondary sources. The results of the study show that each school has a distinctive epistemological foundation whether based on sacred texts, rationality, or empirical reality which forms a holistic conceptual framework for Islamic education. These findings contribute to the development of contemporary Islamic education curriculum by considering the integration between text, reason, and context.
Development of a Competence and Character-Based PAI Curriculum: A Literature Review
The development of a competence and character-based curriculum in Islamic Education (PAI) is essential for fostering both academic skills and moral integrity in students. This literature review investigates the integration of competence-based and character-based frameworks in the PAI curriculum in Indonesia. It examines theoretical foundations, previous studies, and practical challenges while proposing a framework for further curriculum development. The research identifies that competence-based education, which focuses on knowledge and practical skills, can be harmonized with character-building approaches that emphasize ethical and moral values. However, challenges such as the lack of clear guidelines for character education, the imbalance between cognitive and moral development, and the difficulty in assessing character traits hinder the integration process. Despite these challenges, opportunities arise through Indonesia's ongoing curriculum reforms, such as the Kurikulum Merdeka, which offers a more flexible and holistic approach. The integration of these frameworks is expected to positively impact students’ academic performance and personal development, cultivating responsible, well-rounded individuals. This study contributes to the improvement of the PAI curriculum by suggesting practical recommendations for balancing competence and character education in Islamic schools.
The Concept of Justice in Islam: A Literature Review of Tafsir Al-Qur'an and Hadith
Justice is a fundamental principle in Islam that encompasses various aspects of life, including social, economic, and legal matters. This study aims to analyze the concept of justice in Islam based on the Qur'anic exegesis (tafsir) and Hadith using a literature review method. The primary data sources consist of the Qur'an, Hadith, as well as classical and contemporary tafsir literature. The findings of the study reveal that justice in Islam is not only related to equality but also the granting of rights in accordance with Islamic law (sharia). The Qur'an mentions the concept of justice using the terms al-'adl and al-qist, which refer to balance, equality, and the protection of individual rights. The Hadith of Prophet Muhammad SAW emphasizes the importance of justice in leadership, economic transactions, and social relationships. A study of classical tafsir sources such as Ibn Kathir and Al-Tabari shows that justice in Islam has a strong foundation in sharia law, while contemporary tafsir sources like Muhammad Abduh and Al-Jabiri emphasize its application in social and economic contexts. The findings of this study demonstrate that the concept of justice in Islam is dynamic and can serve as a foundation for the development of an inclusive legal system, fair economic distribution, and harmonious social interactions. Therefore, a deep understanding of justice in Islam through the Qur'anic exegesis and Hadith can contribute to creating a more just and prosperous society.

The Concept of Keluarga Sakinah (Tranquil Family) in the Perspective of the Qur'an (A Literature Review)
The concept of keluarga sakinah (tranquil family) in Islam represents an ideal family life characterized by peace, love, and mercy, as depicted in the Qur'an. This study aims to explore the understanding and application of keluarga sakinah in both classical and contemporary Qur'anic exegeses and its relevance to modern family life. Through a literature review, the research examines key Qur'anic verses related to family life, such as Surah Ar-Rum (30:21), Surah At-Tahrim (66:6), and Surah Al-Baqarah (2:233), highlighting the significance of love, affection, mutual responsibility, and religious education within the family. The study also discusses the complementary roles of husband and wife in achieving family harmony, with the husband as the protector and the wife as the nurturer. Findings suggest that the values of keluarga sakinah, such as love, shared responsibility, and justice, remain highly applicable in contemporary society to promote a harmonious family life. The research concludes by emphasizing the importance of implementing these Qur'anic teachings to strengthen family bonds and foster a spiritually and socially balanced household.

THE EFFECT OF TECHNOLOGY USE IN QUR'AN HADITH TEACHING ON THE LEARNING MOTIVATION OF 8TH GRADE STUDENTS AT MTS NW TANJUNG LUAR
Religious education, particularly the teaching of Qur'an Hadith, plays a crucial role in shaping students' character and morals in junior high school. However, in this digital era, the challenge lies in increasing students' interest and motivation to learn. This study aims to explore the impact of technology use in Qur'an Hadith teaching on the learning motivation of 8th-grade students at MTs NW Tanjung Luar. This research used a quantitative approach with a descriptive correlational design to identify the relationship between technology use and students' learning motivation levels. The sample consists of 120 purposively selected 8th-grade students. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire measuring students' learning motivation and their perceptions of technology use in Qur'an Hadith classes. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and correlational statistics with the aid of SPSS software. The study results reveal a significant positive correlation (r = 0.58) between the use of technology in Qur'an Hadith teaching and students' learning motivation. This indicates that as technology is more frequently used in teaching, students' motivation to learn increases. The findings also note that while technology use in Qur'an Hadith teaching is at a moderate level, its impact on learning motivation is substantial. The integration of technology in Qur'an Hadith teaching can enhance students' learning motivation, making the learning experience more interactive and relevant. The practical implication of this study highlights the importance of optimal technology application in Qur'an Hadith education to improve learning quality. Further research is needed to explore the most effective types of technology and the optimal ways to implement them.
