The Role of Proverbs of the Qur'an in Transmitting Islamic Education Values
Full text linkAmsalul Qur’an, or Qur’anic parables, represent a unique rhetorical form in the Qur’an that conveys deep symbolic meanings aimed at delivering moral and spiritual messages in a persuasive and emotionally resonant way. The complexity of meaning within Qur’anic parables demands interpretive approaches that are not only textual but also contextual and multidisciplinary. This research is motivated by the need for an Islamic educational model that is more communicative and reflective of contemporary societal conditions. The aim of this study is to identify the strategic role of Amsalul Qur’an in conveying Islamic educational values and to evaluate its implications for meaningful learning processes. The study employs a qualitative approach with content analysis of parabolic verses in the Qur’an, along with a review of tafsir literature, Islamic education theories, and educational communication frameworks. The findings reveal that Amsalul Qur’an functions as an effective narrative bridge in internalizing the values of monotheism, justice, patience, and social responsibility. The study recommends integrating the amsal approach into Islamic education methodologies to foster more reflective, dialogical, and transformative learning experiences. Thus, Amsalul Qur’an holds strategic potential as an instrument in character building and the strengthening of students’ spirituality in the modern era
The Urgency of Reading in the Character Formation of Generation Z Youth from an Al-Qur'an Perspective (Examination of Maudhu'i Tafsir)
Full text linkThis research discusses the urgency of reading from generation Z of the perspective of the Koran and the implications of the character formed in it. Along with rapid technological development, generation Z faces major challenges in the form of literacy crises and moral decline. The phenomenon of low interest in reading among young people is associated with the negative influence of modernity and digital technology.

Using a maudhu'I interpretation approach, several verses of the Koran that will be analyzed include QS. Al-Alaq verses 1 and 3, QS. Al-Isra’ verse 14, QS. Al-Haqqah verse 19 which emphasizes the command to read and QS. Taha verse 114, QS. Yusuf verse 30, QS. Al-Kahf verses 13, 60, 62 and QS. Al-Anbiya’ verse 60 which shows the character of an ideal young man. This research aims to explore communication between the two classification verses.

Integration of Hadith Values in the Islamic Education Curriculum
Full text linkThis study aims to analyze the urgency and relevance of integrating hadith values into the educational curriculum. As the second source of law after the Qur'an, the hadith plays a crucial role in shaping students' character, morals, and ethics. The study employed qualitative methods with a literature review and case study approach. The results indicate that integrating hadith values into the curriculum enhances students' understanding of Islamic teachings, shapes their character, and enriches the moral and ethical content of education. The most important aspect of implementing hadith as a source of learning material is the development of good character, in addition to assisting students in academic aspects. The integration of hadith values into educational science is not merely the addition of religious material, but rather a comprehensive philosophical, pedagogical, and practical transformation. Teachers and education personnel play a crucial role in ensuring that the integration of hadith values is carried out systematically and structured
Analysis of the Meaning of Joy (Al-Farh) According to the Al-Qur'an Perspective of Tafsir Al Munir
Full text linkJoy (Al-Farh) in the Koran has various meanings, which can include temporary worldly joy or eternal spiritual joy. In the perspective of al-Munir's tafsir, the word farh is understood as a form of feeling happy or joyful which is often related to worldly or spiritual circumstances. Tafsir al-Munir presents an in-depth analysis of the difference between temporary and eternal joy, emphasizing that joy derived from worldly achievements, such as wealth, power, or pleasure, is often deceptive and leads to arrogance and negligence towards the afterlife. For example, the story of Qarun in Surah Al-Qasas (28) verse 76 illustrates how worldly joy can be misleading if accompanied by arrogance. On the contrary, this tafsir highlights the joy that comes from piety and obedience to Allah as true happiness that not only brings peace in worldly life, but also guarantees eternal happiness in the afterlife. In al-Munir's tafsir, true joy is measured by the depth of a person's faith and relationship with Allah, which leads to a nobler purpose in life. Therefore, this tafsir reminds Muslims not to be trapped in temporary worldly joy, but rather to pursue eternal joy through devotion to Allah. True joy is that which gives peace of mind and leads to eternal happiness in heaven, not temporary and misleading
Beauty Privilege Perspective Study of Surah Ar-Rum Verse 21 and An-Nisa Verse 1
Full text linkThe phenomenon of beauty privilege that prioritizes physical appearance as a standard of social acceptance has created gender inequality and psychological pressure, especially for Muslim women in the digital era. Popular culture and social media reinforce visual dominance that places physical beauty above spiritual and intellectual values. In this context, there is a need to review the meaning of beauty in Islam and how the values of piety can be used as a counter-narrative to modern beauty ideology. This study aims to review the concept of privileged beauty from the perspective of the Qur'an using the maudhū'i interpretation approach and critical discourse analysis model of Norman Fairclough. The main data sources consist of verses of QS. Al-Hujurat: 13, QS. An-Nisa: 1, and QS. Ar-Rum: 21–22, accompanied by hadith and interpretations from classical scholars (Ath-Ṭabarī, Ibnu Kathīr) and contemporary (Quraish Shihab, Buya Hamka). This study also involves modern Islamic and sociological literature to understand the socio-cultural dynamics of beauty and identity of Muslim women. The results of the study indicate that piety in the Qur'an is a form of spiritual privilege that is superior to physical beauty. The concepts of qanitat and ḥāfiẓāt lil-ghayb underline the character of faithful women who maintain their honor, obey Allah, and are active in social life. Piety becomes a form of resistance to beauty capitalism and a tool for liberating women's identity from visual pressure. Qur'anic values offer relevant educational and advocacy strategies in building an authentic and empowered Muslim identity in the digital era. This study contributes to the discourse of gender and Islam, by emphasizing that piety is the ultimate beauty privilege in the Islamic paradigm
Wahdatul Ulum's Paradigm Punch in Islamic Philosophy and Science
Full text linkThis research aims to review the Definition of the Wahdatul ulum Paradigm with a Transdisciplinary Approach. The separation between religious knowledge and general science has long occurred. Some Muslim communities still believe that religion and science cannot be combined together because they both have their own domains. With a transdisciplinary approach, Wahdatul `Ulum is very suitable in the current uncertain era where advances in digital technology are the main factor. Research is qualitative research on library studies (library research), collecting data by looking for sources such as books, journals and previous research. Transdisciplinarity is reflection, integration and methods that go beyond scientific principles with the aim of finding solutions to social problems, which are obtained from combining related sciences in a way that differentiates and integrates knowledge from various theories. A transdisciplinary approach implies full interaction between, between, and outside disciplines from a perspective or based on real-life problems. The results of this research conclude that all UINs in Indonesia must have an attitude of adapting to all kinds of changes, especially North Sumatra UIN. As an Islamic-based university, it follows the concept of the Wahdatul Ulum paradigm through an interdisciplinary approach, referring to the values contained in various articles about the implementation of education, research and public works at the Islamic Religious University of North Sumatra

Expository Learning Strategy in Instilling Moral Values and Religious Life in Grade VI Students at Sd Negeri 09 Cilincing
Full text linkThis research aims to examine the effectiveness of expository learning strategies in instilling moral values and religious life in grade VI students. The research method used is descriptive qualitative research with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the expository learning strategy was able to gradually increase students' religious awareness. During three meetings, the indicators of learners' religious awareness showed an increase, especially in the aspect of applying moral values and religious life. Teachers have an important role in delivering material in a clear and structured manner, as well as providing concrete examples relevant to everyday life. However, some indicators such as students' awareness and ability to read the Qur'an, awareness of doing assignments honestly, and the ability to give conclusions from the subject matter did not increase or tended to be monotonous. Based on the results of the research and discussion, it can be concluded that overall, the expository learning strategy carried out by educators can increase religious awareness and instill moral values for students gradually. Disciplinary rules applied at school, moral learning both inside and outside the classroom, and educators who are role models make a significant contribution. However, there are some aspects that need further attention, such as awareness of reading the Qur'an and honesty in doing assignments.The recommendation from this study is that teachers continue to develop skills in using expository strategies and create a conducive learning environment to support the achievement of character education goals
