The character of the Qur'anic nation is born from education that also has a Qur'anic character. Therefore, the state must provide wider space for Islamic religious education in the national law and curriculum.

Contrastivity of Vowel and Consonant Phonemes in Arabic and Indonesian: Systems, Similarities and Differences, and Phonological Implications in Foreign Language Learning
Get PDFThis study aims to analyze and compare the vowel and consonant phoneme systems in Arabic and Indonesian and examine their implications for the foreign language learning process. Arabic is known to have vowel phonemes that are distinguished based on quantity, namely long and short, while Indonesian does not recognize differences in vowel quantity phonologically. In addition, Arabic has distinctive consonants such as pharyngeal and emphatic phonemes that are not found in Indonesian. With a descriptive qualitative approach, this study collected data through interviews, observations, and analysis of documents and phonological literature. The results of the study indicate that differences in phoneme systems between the two languages affect pronunciation accuracy and phonetic perception in learning. These findings provide a theoretical and practical basis for developing foreign language teaching strategies that are more adaptive to the phonological characteristics of each language. The implications of contrastive analysis in Arabic language learning include: teacher mastery of the system so that teachers are able to predict the difficulties experienced by students and the preparation of teaching materials is based on the results of comparisons starting from easy to difficult levels and conducting intensive exercises
Hadith Approach in Handling Baby Blues Syndrome: Case Study at Madina Pratama Clinic, Medan
Get PDFBaby blues syndrome is a psychological problem often experienced by postpartum mothers, characterized by anxiety, mood swings, and emotional stress. From an Islamic perspective, the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad SAW offers guidance on calmness, patience, and social support that can help mothers face these emotional challenges. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of the hadith approach in overcoming baby blues syndrome using a mixed methods method, namely a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, quantitative questionnaires using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and participant observation of postpartum mothers at the Madina Pratama Clinic, Medan. The results showed that mothers who had a better understanding of the hadith on calmness and patience tended to have lower levels of anxiety. In addition, worship practices such as dhikr, prayer, and reading the Qur'an play a role in improving maternal emotional well-being. However, several inhibiting factors in the application of the hadith approach include lack of access to relevant Islamic education, limited time for worship due to being busy taking care of babies, and lack of social support from the surrounding environment. This study provides insight that a hadith-based approach can be an effective method in dealing with baby blues syndrome if supported by more inclusive religious education and a strong social support system. Therefore, the integration of Islamic teachings and modern psychological approaches in postpartum maternal health services needs to be further developed to improve maternal mental well-being
