The Apitan Tradition of Maintaining Harmony and Friendship : A Study of Living Hadith in Tlogorejo Village, Karangawen, Demak
Full text linkThis study examines the Apitan tradition as a form of Living Hadith in the social life of the people of Tlogorejo Village, Karangawen District, Demak Regency. This tradition is carried out every month of Dzulqa'dah as a form of gratitude for a safe and peaceful village, an abundance of sustenance, and as a means of strengthening friendship and maintaining harmony between residents. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and the hadith living method, this study highlights how Saw's prophetic values such as ukhuwah, social concern, and spiritual education are internalized in local cultural practices. In contrast to similar traditions in other areas that are colored by puppet performances, Apitan in Tlogorejo is filled with public recitation and tambourine performances as a form of adaptation to Islamic values. The results of the study show that the Apitan tradition has a significant impact on the social, religious, cultural, economic, and educational aspects of the community. This tradition is not only the preservation of culture, but also a means of actualizing the values of the hadith that are alive and developing in the local context. Thus, Apitan reflects a harmonious meeting between religion and culture that is able to strengthen the Islamic identity of the community within the framework of local wisdom
Dulkadiran Tradition as a Medium for Strengthening Spirituality and Social Solidarity: An Empirical Study of a Local Muslim Community in Besuk Bulan Rajab Village
Full text linkThis study explores the Dulkadiran tradition in Besuk Bulan Rajab Village as a medium for strengthening spirituality and social solidarity within the local Muslim community. Dulkadiran, held every Rajab to honor Sheikh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani, embodies spiritual teachings and functions as a communal ritual.

This tradition strengthens cooperation and mutual support through shared worship and food distribution. The novelty of this research lies in highlighting Dulkadiran’s dual role as spiritual practice and social unifier in modern contexts

Scientific Approach Methodology Model of Thought/Theory of Imre Lakatos' Research Program
Full text linkThis article discusses the scientific thinking of Imre Lakatos, a Hungarian philosopher of science who combined important elements of Karl Popper's falsification theory and Thomas Kuhn's scientific paradigm, thus giving birth to the idea of a scientific research program methodology. In this framework, science is seen as a process of gradual theory evolution through a structured and dynamic research program. Lakatos emphasized that the development of science is not simply determined by a single piece of evidence that refutes an old theory, but rather through a series of theories developed based on strong basic principles. His research program model consists of three main elements, namely: (1) Hard core as a core principle that cannot be challenged, (2) Protective belt in the form of auxiliary hypotheses that can be modified to protect the core of the theory, and (3) Series of theories that show the continuity and development of theories in the research program. This approach is not only relevant in the natural and social sciences, but also makes a major contribution to the development of Islamic science. With an integrative approach, Lakatos' thinking is able to offer a strong, logical, and flexible philosophical framework to advance science in a multidisciplinary and transformative manner.

The Influence of Acculturation Stress on the Adjustment Process of New Female Students in Islamic Religious Education
Full text linkThe acculturation process is a crucial part of the life of new female santri who enter the pesantren environment. They must adjust to various cultures, norms, and values that are different from those they bring from home. Acculturation stress often arises due to these differences, which can affect their ability to adapt to the new environment. This study aims to analyze the effect of acculturation stress on the self-adjustment process of new female santri in Islamic religious education. The method used in this research is a quantitative approach with a survey, which involves a number of new female santri from several pesantren as samples. The results showed that the level of acculturation stress experienced by santri was quite high and had a significant influence on their self-adjustment process. A good adjustment process is proven to improve the mental well-being and academic success of santri. Therefore, it is important to provide appropriate support to manage acculturation stress, so that students can adapt better. This study recommends the need for assistance programs that can help santri in overcoming acculturation stress and facilitate their adaptation process in pesantren. Thus, the mental well-being and academic achievement of santri will be better ensured
