A Methodology for Reading Tafsir Manuscripts: Philological and Hermeneutical Analysis within the Framework of Qirā’ah al-Nuṣūṣ
This study aims to analyze the methodology of reading tafsir manuscripts (qirā’ah al-nuṣūṣ) through philological and hermeneutical approaches and to explain the urgency of integrating both approaches within contemporary Qur’anic exegesis studies. The study is motivated by the tendency of tafsir scholarship to separate textual validity, which constitutes the primary concern of philology, from contextual interpretation, which is the central focus of hermeneutics. This research employs a qualitative-descriptive library research method. Data were collected from various primary and secondary sources, including books, journal articles, and other scholarly works relevant to the research topic. Data collection was conducted through documentary research, while data analysis employed content analysis of the selected literature. The findings reveal that philology plays a crucial role in ensuring textual authenticity and validity through manuscript criticism, collation, and textual reconstruction, whereas hermeneutics functions to interpret textual meaning based on historical and social contexts as well as the reader’s horizon of understanding. Although these approaches differ in orientation, they are complementary in the interpretative process. This study concludes that the integration of philology and hermeneutics constitutes an ideal methodological framework for reading tafsir manuscripts, as it maintains a balance between textual validity and contextual relevance. Consequently, such an integrated approach produces interpretations that are both academically rigorous and contextually meaningful in addressing the challenges of contemporary tafsir studies.

Teacher Assignment Management Based on Competencies and Academic Qualifications in the Perspective of Islamic Education
Human resource management in schools determines the effectiveness of the learning process, one of which is through the distribution of teaching tasks. Placing teachers who do not align with their educational background and expertise can reduce the quality of teaching and organizational performance. This study aims to examine the ideal distribution of teaching tasks based on teacher competency and qualifications. The method used is a literature review analyzing various relevant educational management concepts and theories. The results of the study indicate that effective distribution of tasks must be based on appropriate disciplines, mastery of professional and pedagogical competencies, and a proportional workload analysis. Implementing this principle requires accurate data support, policy transparency, and active teacher participation. The implications of these findings emphasize the importance of careful planning and a continuous evaluation system to ensure that each task is assigned to the most appropriate personnel, thereby improving the quality of learning and overall school performance.

Qawāʿid al-Tafsīr: The Implementation of Qawāʿid al-Tafsīr in Qur’anic Interpretation Based on the Qur’an and the Sunnah
Qawāʿid al-Tafsīr constitute essential methodological principles for maintaining the validity of Qur’anic interpretation. Without an appropriate foundational framework, interpretation is at risk of semantic distortion. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Qawāʿid al-Tafsīr in interpretations based on the Qur’an and the Sunnah. The research employs a qualitative method with a library research approach, involving the analysis of classical and contemporary tafsir literature. Data were analyzed descriptively and analytically to identify the application of these principles in interpreting Qur’anic verses. The results indicate that the application of Qawāʿid al-Tafsīr within tafsīr bi al-ma’thūr ensures consistency of meaning, prevents contradictions, and strengthens interpretive validity, particularly through interpreting the Qur’an by the Qur’an, Hadith, and asbāb al-nuzūl. Conclusion: Qawāʿid al-Tafsīr grounded in the Qur’an and the Sunnah represent an essential approach for preserving the accuracy and authenticity of interpretation. Recommendation: Future studies should examine the application of Qawāʿid al-Tafsīr in thematic verses more practically and integrate classical and contemporary approaches to enhance methodological relevance.

The Thought of Ibn Taymiyyah as a Framework for Critical Thinking in Islamic Education in the Post-Truth Era
This study aims to analyze the relevance of Ibn Taymiyyah’s thoughts on critical thinking to the development of Islamic education in the post-truth era. The study employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive-analytical method through library research. Data were obtained from various relevant literature on Ibn Taymiyyah’s thought, Islamic education, and the post-truth phenomenon, and were analyzed using content analysis. The results of the study indicate that Ibn Taymiyyah’s concept of critical thinking rooted in criticism of excessive ta’wil, rejection of blind adherence (taqlid), and the emphasis on the importance of ijtihad remains relevant in addressing the challenges of contemporary Islamic education. These concepts can be applied through the harmonization of reason and revelation, guided inquiry-based learning, and the application of the tabayyun method in dealing with the flow of digital information, thereby fostering students who are critical, selective, and responsible.

Financial Comfort Zone and the Academic Learning Ethos of KIP-Kuliah Scholarship Recipients: A Phenomenological Study in the Perspective of Islamic Values
This study aims to analyze the effect of the financial comfort zone on the learning discipline of college students receiving the KIP-Kuliah scholarship. The financial comfort zone is a psychological condition where students feel secure due to full tuition coverage and monthly stipends, which potentially triggers a moral hazard in the form of academic passivity. This study employs a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews and observation of KIP-Kuliah recipients whose class attendance fell below 75%. The results indicate that a stable financial comfort zone contributes to a decline in learning discipline when not accompanied by rigid institutional monitoring or strong intrinsic motivation. The guarantee of "free college" tends to diminish the students' sense of urgency, leading to behaviors such as skipping morning classes and delaying assignment submissions. This study recommends that higher education institutions implement a real-time attendance monitoring system directly tied to semesterly scholarship eligibility evaluations

Islamic Bioethics from the Perspective of Islamic Religious Education toward the Development of Modern Science
The rapid development of modern science and technology, particularly in the fields of medicine, biotechnology, and healthcare, has significantly transformed human life. Innovations such as genetic engineering, cloning, in vitro fertilization (IVF), organ transplantation, and vaccine development have contributed greatly to improving human health and quality of life. However, these advancements also raise ethical, moral, and religious concerns that require comprehensive analysis, particularly from the perspective of Islamic bioethics. This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic bioethics and Islamic Religious Education in addressing the challenges posed by modern scientific development. The research employs a qualitative approach using library research methods by examining books, scientific journals, fatwas, and other relevant academic literature related to Islamic bioethics, maqashid sharia, and the ethics of modern science. The findings indicate that Islam fundamentally supports scientific and technological advancement as long as it remains aligned with moral values and the objectives of Islamic law (maqashid sharia). Islamic bioethics functions as an ethical framework for evaluating modern biomedical technologies by emphasizing the protection of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property. Furthermore, Islamic Religious Education plays a strategic role in fostering ethical awareness, critical thinking, and spiritual responsibility among students in responding to technological advancement. Therefore, the integration of Islamic bioethics into Islamic Religious Education is essential for developing a generation that is intellectually competent, morally responsible, and spiritually grounded in facing the challenges of modern science and technology.

The Meaning of “Deniers of Religion” in QS. Al-Mā‘ūn [107]: 1–3: An Islamic Thought Analysis of Structural Poverty
The purpose of this study is to reveal the meaning of "pendusta agama" in QS al-Maun/107:1-3, as well as to analyze the relationship between the behavior of "pendusta agama" and structural poverty, and the solutions offered to address poverty. The research method used is qualitative descriptive with a library research approach. The method used is the tahlili method. The results of the study show that the term "pendusta agama" in QS al-Mā‘ūn is not only understood as someone who denies religious teachings, but also as someone who is unjust to orphans, reluctant to help the poor, and does not promote social awareness. These behaviors are related to the formation of structural poverty because they reflect social injustice and the neglect of the rights of the disadvantaged. Penelitian ini juga menegaskan bahwa kemiskinan dipengaruhi oleh sistem sosial yang tidak berpihak pada masyarakat miskin dan bukan sekadar persoalan individual. Therefore, QS al-Mā‘ūn conveys a moral and social message to Muslims to build social awareness, distribute aid effectively, and optimize the use of zakat to reduce poverty and social inequality. This study is expected to contribute to the development of social tafsir studies related to the problem of poverty. Further research is recommended to develop a more in-depth study through the maqāṣid approach

Religious Moderation in Islamic Education Learning and Its Influence on Students’ Multicultural Attitudes in Multiethnic Areas
This article examines the relevance of religious moderation in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning to the formation of multicultural attitudes among students, particularly in multiethnic regions such as Balangan Regency, South Kalimantan. Using an integrative literature review approach, this study analyzes the relationship between the concept of religious moderation (tawassuth, tawazun, i'tidal, tasamuh) and the dimensions of multicultural attitudes as framed by James A. Banks. Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Theory is employed as a meta-theory to understand the position of PAI learning as an agent of value socialization within the school microsystem. Findings indicate that PAI learning that consistently and contextually integrates moderation values is both relevant and effective in building students' multicultural attitudes across cognitive, affective, and conative dimensions. PAI teachers who serve as role models (uswah hasanah) for inclusive values and employ dialogical and cooperative learning methods function as the most strategic transformative agents. The implications of this study affirm the necessity of reformulating PAI learning approaches from doctrinal transmission toward contextual and participatory value internalization, especially in regions with complex multiethnic compositions outside Java

Beyond Memorization: An Islamic Religious Education Learning Model for the Internalization of Character Values
Islamic Religious Education (PAI) has an important role in shaping students’ character through the cultivation of Islamic values in educational settings. However, the learning process is still often centered on memorization and theoretical understanding, so the values taught are not always reflected in students’ daily attitudes and behavior. This article discusses the concept of beyond memorization as a learning approach that emphasizes not only knowledge acquisition, but also understanding, appreciation, and the practical application of character values in everyday life. The study uses a literature review method by examining journals, books, and other scientific sources related to PAI learning models and the internalization of character values. The findings reveal that contextual, cooperative, problem-based, and multidisciplinary learning models can make the learning process more meaningful and relevant to students’ real-life experiences. Character values are instilled through teachers’ role models, habituation, advice, the creation of a religious school culture, and continuous interaction between teachers and students. Through this approach, PAI learning functions not merely as a medium for delivering religious knowledge, but also as a means of developing religious character, discipline, responsibility, tolerance, and social awareness in facing the challenges of modern society.

The Dynamics of Early Islamic Thought: Conceptions and Differences of the Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hanbali Mazhab
This study examines the dynamics of early Islamic thought that underlie the emergence of the four major mazhabs of jurisprudence, namely Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali. After the Prophet Muhammad SAW passed away, Muslims faced challenges in the form of territorial expansion and social complexity, which triggered differences in legal interpretation. Using a library research method with descriptive-qualitative analysis, this study explores the socio-political background, ijtihad methodology (ushul fiqh), as well as the characteristics of each mazhab. The results of the study show that differences of opinion among the mazhab imams are not a form of division, but rather a dynamic intellectual response to the realities of the time. The Hanafi mazhab is known for its rationalist approach (ahl al-ra’y), the Maliki mazhab strongly adheres to the traditions of the people of Medina (amal ahl al-Madinah), the Shafi'i mazhab successfully synergizes text and reason systematically, while the Hanbali mazhab tends to be textual and conservative. This study emphasizes that the diversity of these methodologies constitutes an intellectual wealth that preserves the flexibility of Islamic law in addressing various contemporary issues, ranging from transactional matters to practical worship.

Islamic Entrepreneurship among Single-Parent Teachers in Islamic Boarding Schools: A Model for Strengthening Family Economic Resilience Based on Islamic Values at Pesantren Al-Amien Putri I
This study aims to analyze the implementation of Islamic entrepreneurship among single-parent teachers at Pesantren Al-Amien Putri I Prenduan as a model for strengthening family economic resilience based on Islamic values. The increasing phenomenon of single-parent families has created complex economic, psychological, and social challenges, particularly for women who carry dual roles as educators and heads of households. In the pesantren context, these challenges are addressed through entrepreneurial practices that are not solely profit-oriented, but also integrate spiritual, moral, and Islamic educational values. This study employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation, and documentation involving single-parent teachers at Pesantren Al-Amien Putri I Prenduan. Data analysis utilized the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing conducted simultaneously. The findings reveal that the implementation of Islamic entrepreneurship is manifested through the development of productive businesses based on pesantren needs, the internalization of the values of ṣidq (honesty), amanah (trustworthiness), responsibility, and an orientation toward barakah (blessing) in economic activities. These entrepreneurial practices not only strengthen family economic resilience but also enhance psychological resilience, women’s independence, and the spiritual resilience of single-parent teachers. Supporting factors include pesantren culture, social support, workplace flexibility, and individual religiosity, while the main challenges involve limited time, business capital constraints, emotional exhaustion, and social stigma. This study formulates the conceptual model of Islamic Edupreneurship for Family Resilience as an integration of economic empowerment, character education, and spiritual strengthening in building pesantren-based family resilience.

Transforming Educators' Competencies for Human-Centered Learning in the Era of Artificial Intelligence: A Literature Review from the Perspective of Islamic Educational Values
The development of Artificial Intelligence has created significant opportunities for educational transformation through more adaptive and personalized learning innovations. However, the rapid penetration of digital technology also raises the risk of educational dehumanization when learning processes become overly oriented toward automation and technological efficiency. This study aims to analyze the transformation of educators’ competencies from the perspective of human-centered learning in the era of Artificial Intelligence. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using a library research method by analyzing national scientific articles published between 2020 and 2026 and indexed through Google Scholar. The data were analyzed using literature analysis techniques to identify thematic patterns, research tendencies, and conceptual syntheses related to teacher competencies in the AI era. The findings indicate that educators’ competencies have shifted from conventional pedagogical competencies toward multidimensional competencies encompassing AI literacy, human-centered pedagogy, empathetic communication, reflective leadership, and technology-based collaborative learning. Human-centered learning has emerged as a dominant paradigm emphasizing empathy, social interaction, critical reflection, and meaningful learning experiences as the core of educational processes. The integration of AI has improved learning personalization, administrative efficiency, and instructional media innovation, yet it also poses the potential to weaken humanistic dimensions if not balanced with ethical and social values. This study contributes theoretically to strengthening the discourse on AI-based human-centered learning and practically serves as a foundation for developing teacher training programs, AI literacy, and humanistic educational policies in Indonesia.

The Effect of Teacher Creativity on Students' Learning Interest in Islamic Education at Elementary School
In elementary school classrooms, a decline in learning motivation among some students is still observed, often linked to the tendency to use repetitive teaching methods and the limited variety of instructional media employed. Based on this reality, this study aims to examine the relationship between teacher creativity and student learning motivation at the elementary school level. This research employs a qualitative approach with a literature review design, involving the search and analysis of scientific articles, journals, and relevant prior research findings. The collected data were then processed descriptively to identify relational trends among the variables under study. The synthesis results indicate that teacher creativity plays a crucial role in strengthening students’ interest in learning, particularly through the diversification of learning strategies, the use of more innovative media, and the ability to foster a classroom environment that is more supportive and conducive from a psychopedagogical perspective. A number of empirical findings also affirm the existence of a positive relationship between teacher creativity and learning interest, although certain external factors still contribute to the dynamics of learning engagement. More creative teachers tend to be able to orchestrate participation, increase learning motivation, and foster students’ academic responsibility more effectively. Thus, teachers’ creativity can be viewed as an essential pedagogical factor in optimizing students’ interest in learning and the overall effectiveness of instruction. Consequently, strengthening teachers’ creative capacities is a strategic aspect of improving the quality of basic education.

Genealogy of Thought of Islamic Da'wah Organizations in Indonesia: A Historical Analysis of NU, Muhammadiyah, Persis, and Al-Washliyah
This article examines the genealogy of thought of four major Islamic da'wah institutions in Indonesia, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), Muhammadiyah, Persatuan Islam (Persis), and Al-Jam'iyatul Washliyah (Al-Washliyah). Employing a historical-comparative approach with genealogical analysis inspired by Michel Foucault's framework, this study traces the historical roots, ideological foundations, da'wah character, and intellectual dynamics of each institution within the context of modern Indonesia. Data were gathered through primary and secondary academic literature from leading scholars in the field of Indonesian Islamic history. The findings reveal that although all four institutions emerged from relatively similar socio-historical pressures namely Dutch colonialism and the global wave of Islamic modernism, each developed a distinctive da'wah character. NU embraced a cultural-traditionalist approach rooted in the pesantren tradition and the Ahlussunnah wal Jamaah creed, Muhammadiyah championed dakwah bil-hal (action-based preaching) and social reformism through modern education and charitable enterprises, Persis emphasized textual-puritan argumentation by rejecting taqlid and bid'ah, while Al-Washliyah integrated da'wah with education within a wasathiyyah (moderate) framework. These differing orientations can be traced to divergent intellectual genealogies, Muhammadiyah and Persis absorbed reformist thought from the Middle East (al-Afghani, Abduh, Ridha), while NU and Al-Washliyah remained more deeply rooted in the classical Islamic scholarly tradition of the Malay-Nusantara world. This diversity of orientation represents not a contradiction but rather the intellectual richness of Indonesian Islam, a complementary plurality capable of addressing contemporary challenges including digitalization and religious radicalism

Transformation of Values and Character Education in Islamic Education Based on the Qur’an and Hadits
This study aims to examine the transformation of values and character education based on the Qur’an and Hadith as a solution to contemporary moral and educational challenges. The research employs a qualitative approach through library research by analyzing various scholarly sources, journal articles, and relevant Islamic educational literature. The findings reveal that values such as gratitude, patience, honesty, justice, compassion, responsibility, and sincerity serve as fundamental principles in shaping students’ character. These values can be effectively internalized through several educational methods, including role modeling, habituation, advice, self-reflection, and storytelling. The study further highlights that the integration of Qur’anic and prophetic values into modern educational practices contributes significantly to the development of students’ spiritual, emotional, and social competencies. The novelty of this research lies in its integrative framework that connects Islamic moral values with transformative character education approaches adaptable to contemporary educational contexts. This study also offers a holistic perspective by emphasizing the practical transformation of Qur’anic and Hadith-based values into sustainable character-building strategies in Islamic education

Internalization of ESQ Values in Building Entrepreneurial Character and Work Ethic: A Study on Sasirangan MSME Entrepreneurs in South Kalimantan
This study aims to analyze the internalization of Emotional Spiritual Quotient (ESQ) values in building entrepreneurial character and work ethic among Sasirangan MSME entrepreneurs in South Kalimantan. The study is based on the assumption that entrepreneurial success is not only determined by technical and managerial competencies, but also by emotional intelligence, spiritual awareness, and cultural values that shape business behavior. The internalization of ESQ values is considered essential in strengthening entrepreneurial resilience, integrity, discipline, creativity, and ethical work orientation among local entrepreneurs engaged in the Sasirangan industry as a cultural-based creative economy sector. This research employs a qualitative approach using the Library Research method. Data were collected from scientific journals, books, theses, dissertations, and academic documents related to ESQ, Islamic entrepreneurship, work ethic, Banjar culture, and the development of Sasirangan MSMEs. The collected data were analyzed through content analysis to identify conceptual patterns and relationships between emotional intelligence, spiritual intelligence, entrepreneurial character, and work ethic. The findings reveal that the internalization of ESQ values significantly contributes to the formation of entrepreneurial character through honesty, responsibility, discipline, emotional control, creativity, and social awareness. Furthermore, spiritual intelligence strengthens the Islamic work ethic by encouraging entrepreneurs to perceive work as a form of worship, thereby increasing motivation, perseverance, and professional integrity. Banjar cultural values such as kayuh baimbai also reinforce cooperation, solidarity, and collective responsibility among Sasirangan entrepreneurs. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative analysis of ESQ values, Islamic spirituality, and Banjar local culture in shaping entrepreneurial character and work ethic within the context of Sasirangan MSMEs. This research also offers a conceptual contribution to Islamic entrepreneurship studies by emphasizing the importance of emotional-spiritual intelligence and local wisdom as socio-cultural capital for sustainable creative economic development.
