Integration of Knowledge, Institutional Strengthening, and Academic Collaboration: An Institutional Visit Study at UIN Alauddin Makassar
This study aims to analyze the contribution of an academic visit conducted by the Scientific Consortium of UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung to the strengthening of knowledge integration, institutional development, and academic collaboration at UIN Alauddin Makassar. Key concepts employed in this study include knowledge integration, higher education benchmarking, epistemic networking, and Islamic higher education governance. This research adopts a qualitative case study approach, utilizing field observations, focus group discussions, limited interviews, and institutional document analysis. The scope of the study covers the Faculty of Ushuluddin, the Institute for Research and Community Service (LP2M), and the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FKIK) at UIN Alauddin Makassar. The findings reveal that knowledge integration at UIN Alauddin Makassar has moved beyond conceptual formulation toward institutionalization, as reflected in integrative curricula, research governance, laboratory development, and value-based professional education. Academic visits function as an effective mechanism for institutional learning and epistemic reflection, fostering the consolidation of integrative paradigms and strategic institutional development within Islamic higher education. Key challenges include limitations in research infrastructure, disparities in human resource capacity, and the rigidity of national accreditation and professional standards. This study recommends strengthening inter-institutional research collaboration, developing sustainable benchmarking models, and deepening governance-based knowledge integration. This study contributes empirically to the literature on knowledge integration in Islamic higher education by demonstrating how integrative paradigms are operationalized through institutional policies, academic practices, and benchmarking-based collaboration
Sustainable Agriculture in Subang: Integrating Local Wisdom, Sharia Principles, and Agribusiness Innovation
This research examines the influence of local cultural knowledge, Islamic (Sharia-based) values, and agribusiness innovations on the development of sustainable agricultural practices in Subang, West Java, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative document analysis approach, the study explores how indigenous traditions such as the Mapag Sri ritual and collective labor systems (gotong royong) play a significant role in maintaining ecological sustainability and social cohesion within farming communities. These local practices are reinforced by Islamic ethical principles, including ʿadl (justice), barakah (divine blessing), and zakat al-zurʿ (agricultural almsgiving), which guide moral responsibility in agricultural production, distribution, and resource management. In parallel, the adoption of agribusiness innovations particularly digital farming technologies, cooperative-based management, and improved market access enhances productivity, efficiency, and farmers’ economic resilience. The findings demonstrate that sustainability in Subang is not the result of isolated interventions, but rather emerges from a coherent system in which cultural traditions, religious ethics, and modern technological practices mutually reinforce one another. This integrated framework strengthens environmental stewardship, promotes ethical governance, and supports long-term socio-economic resilience in rural communities. The study contributes a context-sensitive model of sustainable agriculture that successfully bridges tradition and modernity within a Muslim-majority setting. It offers valuable insights for policymakers, development practitioners, and scholars concerned with rural development, Islamic economics, and sustainable livelihoods. Furthermore, the model proposed in this research may serve as a transferable framework for other agricultural regions undergoing similar socio-cultural and economic transformations
The Influence of Principals’ Interpersonal Communication on Teacher Performance in Integrated Islamic Elementary Schools
Effective leadership in Islamic elementary schools is a crucial issue, as principals’ interpersonal communication plays a central role in shaping teacher professionalism, motivation, and instructional performance. This study examines the influence of principals’ interpersonal communication on teacher performance in Integrated Islamic elementary schools (IIES) in Indonesia. The research employed a quantitative approach using an ex-post facto survey design, with data analyzed through correlation and regression techniques. Questionnaires were administered to 78 teachers selected through random sampling, and the data were processed using SPSS version 25. The results demonstrate that principals’ interpersonal communication has a significant, positive, and very strong effect on teacher performance, accounting for 79.3% of the variance, while the remaining 20.7% is influenced by other factors not explored in this study. The regression analysis produced the equation Y = 16.111 + 1.845X, indicating that improvements in interpersonal communication are associated with substantial increases in teacher performance. The findings also suggest that clear, supportive, and collaborative communication practices foster a more productive and professional teaching environment. These results imply that strengthening principals’ interpersonal communication competencies is a strategic priority for improving teacher performance and enhancing the quality of Islamic education in elementary schools

Religious Sermons by Nursalim, Hidayat, and Basalamah on YouTube/TikTok: Impacts on Bogor Residents\u27 Tolerance Knowledge and Attitudes
This study examines the impact of Islamic preaching content delivered by K.H. Ahmad Bahauddin Nursalim (Gus Baha), Ustadz Adi Hidayat, and Ustadz Khalid Basalamah via YouTube and TikTok on the religious knowledge and tolerance attitudes of the urban Muslim community in Bogor, Indonesia. Employing a sequential explanatory mixed-methods approach, the research integrates quantitative survey data analyzed via multiple regression with qualitative insights gathered from in-depth interviews with local religious figures and community members. The findings reveal that 88.2% of the variance in religious tolerance behavior is attributable to the consumption of digital religious content on these platforms. While TikTok contributes to the rapid dissemination of visualized religious messages, YouTube offers more structured, in-depth religious discourse, both of which reinforce spiritual awareness and interfaith empathy. The study concludes that social media platforms play a transformative role in shaping urban religiosity, functioning as digital spaces for ethical formation, theological education, and inclusive civic identity. Theoretically, this research contributes to the growing discourse on digital religious literacy, demonstrating how algorithm-driven environments mediate new modes of religious engagement. Practically, it provides actionable insights for religious institutions and policymakers to design adaptive and pluralist religious communication strategies in an increasingly mediated society
Dari Konflik Menuju Penanganan Sampah Plastik: Ma’na Cum Maghza QS. Al-Rum: 41 Tentang Kerusakan Laut
The problem of plastic waste in the ocean is currently an important concern because of its great impact on the environment and human life. This research departs from the concern that the study of Qur\u27an interpretation is still rarely directly associated with modern environmental issues, especially about marine pollution. The purpose of this research is to understand the message of QS. Al-Rum: 41 about damage at sea using ma‘nā-cum-maghzā approach which emphasizes the meaning and moral message of the verse in the contemporary context. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach through a literature review, which explores various classical and contemporary interpretations. The results of the study show that the verse not only talks about the consequences of human actions in general, but also contains a moral message for humans to maintain the balance of nature and not damage it, including the sea which is now polluted with plastic waste. In conclusion, ma‘nā-cum-maghzā approach helps to relate the values of the Qur\u27an to today\u27s environmental issues in terms of environmental damage caused by plastic waste, so that the interpretation becomes more relevant and solutive. Academically, this research contributes to the development of a more contextual thematic interpretation and encourages ecological awareness in an Islamic perspective
Climate Change as a Threat Multiplier of Forced Migration: Political Economy and Human Security in Coastal Communities of Sukabumi, Indonesia
This study analyzes how climate change functions as a threat multiplier that drives forced migration in the coastal areas of Sukabumi Regency, West Java, through a political economy lens and the human security framework. The study advances the argument that migration from coastal regions does not arise solely from natural disasters as physical threats, but from the cumulative process of environmental and economic vulnerability that gradually delegitimizes the viability of life in places of origin. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research collected data through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders—namely the Environmental Agency of Sukabumi Regency, the Sukabumi Office for the Protection and Services of Indonesian Migrant Workers (P4MI), the Sukabumi branch of the Indonesian Migrant Workers Union (SBMI)—as well as prospective migrants from coastal communities, and complemented these data with policy document analysis and official online sources. The findings show that climate change has tangibly undermined the economic base of coastal communities through the intensification of tidal flooding, rainfall instability, coastal abrasion, and infrastructure damage, which directly weakens the fisheries sector, coastal agriculture, and local tourism. These ecological disruptions precipitate the collapse of household economic security, as reflected in income volatility, rising debt burdens, and the narrowing of livelihood options, thereby framing migration as a survival rationality rather than a free choice of social mobility. In this context, migration frequently occurs through non-procedural channels, significantly increasing vulnerability to labor exploitation, human trafficking (tindak pidana perdagangan orang), and violence in destination countries. By applying the human security framework, this article demonstrates the simultaneous interconnections among environmental security, economic security, and personal security in the lived experiences of forced migration among Sukabumi’s coastal populations. The theoretical contribution of this study lies in conceptualizing forced migration not as a binary category, but as a spectrum of experiences shaped by structural pressures—climate change, political–economic inequality, and weak social protection—thereby positioning migration as a symptom of systemic failure in ensuring human security in coastal regions that are increasingly vulnerable to climate change
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ANN AND LOGISTIC REGRESSION FOR FINANCIAL DISTRESS PREDICTION IN INDONESIAN MANUFACTURING FIRMS
This study aims to compare the predictive performance of the Logistic Regression (LR) model and the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in forecasting financial distress among manufacturing firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2022–2024. Financial distress represents a deterioration in a company’s financial condition and serves as an early warning of potential bankruptcy; therefore, accurate prediction models are crucial for investors, creditors, and corporate decision-makers. The sample comprises manufacturing companies selected through purposive sampling, based on the availability and completeness of financial statements for the observation period. The variables used include financial ratios such as Return on Assets (ROA), Debt-to-Assets Ratio (DAR), and Current Ratio (CR). Two predictive models were developed: Logistic Regression, a conventional statistical approach, and an Artificial Neural Network, a nonlinear machine learning method. The results indicate that the Logistic Regression model achieves a higher recall rate than the Artificial Neural Network model (55.56%), suggesting that Logistic Regression provides better predictive performance in identifying companies experiencing financial distress
FEMINISM AT THE CROSSROADS OF FAITH AND SOCIAL POWER IN DOROTHEA ROSA HERLIANY’S PEREMPUAN BERDOSA
This article examines the female body within a feminist framework that operates at the intersection of religion and social space through a reading of Dorothea Rosa Herliany’s poem Perempuan Berdosa. The poem portrays a woman burdened by accusations of sin and by the symbolic violence imposed upon her body by society. Images of being hunted, pressed down, and judged reveal how religious and social norms often position women as the source of moral wrongdoing. Feminist analysis challenges these patterns by asserting that women possess voices and lived experiences that cannot be reduced to moral stigma. Through this poetic reading, the article argues that the female body can become a site of resistance against patriarchal control and unjust moral scrutiny. Women’s awareness of their bodies and experiences opens possibilities for renegotiating identity, spirituality, and their place within everyday social life
Suluk adalah Konsep Suluk Dalam Perspektif Syekh Akbar Muhammad Fathurrahman: Pengertian Suluk, Tahapan-Tahapan Suluk, Suluk Dalam Pemikiran Syekh Akbar Muhammad Fathurrahman, Relevansi Suluk dalam Kehidupan Modern
This study aims to examine the Mosque Prosperity Movement (GAMIS) as a formulation of modern Sufism in the thoughts of Sheikh Akbar Muhammad Fathurahman within the Idrisiyyah Order. Sufism is understood not only as a process of spiritual development and purification of the soul through tazkiyah an-nafs, dhikr, and moral development, but also as a form of social service that provides benefits for the community. The concept of suluk developed by Sheikh Akbar emphasizes that the spiritual journey is not separate from social life, but must be realized in concrete actions oriented towards service and community empowerment. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method through field observations, in-depth interviews, and literature studies. The results show that GAMIS positions the mosque as a center of spiritual, educational, social, and economic activities that build individual and collective piety. Sufi values such as sincerity, modesty, love, service, trust, and patience are implemented through activities such as daily suluk, charity, congregational character development, and community empowerment programs. Thus, GAMIS is a modern, adaptive and contextual model of Sufism, which is able to integrate spiritual and social aspects harmoniously, and provides a real contribution to the revitalization of the function of mosques and strengthening community life in the contemporary era.Dalam kehidupan modern yang dipenuhi distraksi dan materialisme, ajaran suluk menjadi pedoman yang relevan untuk menjalani perjalanan spiritual yang murni. Konsep suluk menurut Syekh Akbar Muhammad Fathurrahman di Tarekat Idrisiyyah, Tasikmalaya, memberikan arah yang jelas dalam menghadapi tantangan spiritualitas kontemporer. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji dan memahami konsep suluk menurut Syekh Akbar Muhammad Fathurrahman, dengan fokus pada ajaran dan penerapannya. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan lapangan, melalui observasi partisipatif, wawancara mendalam dengan mahasantri dan tokoh, serta studi kepustakaan terhadap kitab, buku, dan dokumentasi kajian beliau. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa suluk menurut Syekh Akbar Muhammad Fathurrahman tidak hanya mencakup praktik ritual seperti dzikir dan wirid, tetapi juga mencakup pengabdian total kepada mursyid dan proses penyucian jiwa. Nilai penting yang diajarkan oleh beliau meliputi ketekunan dalam berkhidmah, keikhlasan, ketaatan kepada guru, serta menjaga niat dan konsistensi dalam perjalanan spiritual. Suluk, dalam pandangan beliau, merupakan proses panjang yang mengarah pada kedekatan dengan Allah SWT, dengan menghindari jebakan batiniah dan duniawi yang dapat menghalangi perjalanan seorang salik. Penelitian ini juga menunjukkan relevansi ajaran suluk dalam menghadapi tantangan hidup modern, seperti krisis identitas, tekanan mental, dan kegersangan batin, serta memberikan alternatif spiritual untuk mencapai kehidupan yang lebih bermakna, tenang, dan terarah
