RELIGIUSITAS MASYARAKAT PASCA BENCANA LAHAR DINGIN DI NAGARI BUKIK BATABUAH KECAMATAN CANDUANG KABUPATEN AGAM
The cold lava disaster in Nagari Bukik Batabuah caused physical damage, loss of property and family members, as well as profound social and psychological impacts. In this crisis, the community showed an increase in religiosity as a way of searching for meaning and a source of strength to face adversity. This study aims to examine the factors that influence the religiosity of the community and the forms of religiosity that developed after the disaster. The study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of the study show that there are four main factors that influence the religiosity of the community, namely education, experience, life, and intellect. This increase in religiosity is reflected in the emergence of social solidarity and a stronger sense of togetherness through disaster command posts, trauma healing, and religious activities that strengthen social and spiritual bonds. Thus, the disaster, which initially caused suffering, has become a turning point for the community to build a more religious, optimistic, and united life.

DAKWAH MITIGASI BENCANA BANJIR OLEH TOKOH AGAMA DI KECAMATAN RUPIT KABUPATEN MURATARA
This study aims to explore the contribution of religious leaders in implementing da'wah (Islamic outreach) oriented toward flood mitigation in Rupit District, North Musi Rawas Regency. The frequent flooding in this area not only causes physical and economic losses but also impacts the social and spiritual well-being of the community. In this context, religious leaders play a crucial role as agents of change, capable of raising awareness, instilling religious values, and guiding the community to be alert and wise in facing the threat of disaster. The study used a qualitative approach, collecting data through observation, interviews, and documentation with religious leaders and local residents. The research findings revealed that da'wah conducted by religious leaders emphasized three main aspects: (1) raising awareness of environmental sustainability as part of religious teachings, (2) internalizing the values ​​of patience, solidarity, and social awareness in the face of disasters, and (3) encouraging community preparedness through preventive measures and active involvement in mitigation efforts. Thus, the da'wah of religious leaders is not only spiritual in nature but also serves as an effective social instrument in strengthening community resilience in the face of flooding in Rupit District.
UMUM DAN KHUSUS PADA AYAT AL-QUR'AN DAN HADIST
The background of the general and specific division of the verses of the Qur'an and Hadith is to understand in depth the Islamic teachings contained therein, because the verses of the Qur'an are often general (global) and the Hadith function as detailed explanations (bayan). Without knowledge of the general and specific, understanding can be wrong and will be trapped in misinterpretation, so that an appropriate interpretation method is needed to combine the verses of the Qur'an, clarify their meaning, and ensure their suitability with the broader context of sharia. This study aims to provide information to readers clearly without being convoluted so that readers can understand easily. In this study, the method used is library research, with a qualitative research approach. In this article the author discusses 7 points of discussion, namely general and specific definitions of Al-Qur'an verses and Hadith, examples of verses and Hadith that show general and specific, characteristics of general and specific pronunciation, specialization of the Al-Qur'an with the Al-Qur'an, specialization of the Al-Qur'an with Hadith, specialization of Hadith with the Al-Qur'an and specialization of Hadith with Hadith. Al-Qur'an verses are general and specific, for example, a mufassir examines and interprets the Yasin letter. Then, based on his study, he said that the letter can be divided into three parts, each part of which is interconnected, continuous and leads to one meaning (problem). Meanwhile, there are 3 hadiths which indicate general and specific, namely: authentic hadith, hasan hadith, and dhaif hadith
PERSPEKTIF HADIS TENTANG AKTIVITAS MEMANCING: LARANGAN PERJUDIAN DAN KELALAIAN TERHADAP KEWAJIBAN
Fishing is a popular recreational activity among many people. From an Islamic perspective, recreation is permitted as long as it does not violate Sharia law and does not interfere with religious obligations. This study aims to examine fishing from the perspective of hadith, particularly in relation to the prohibition of gambling (maisir) and the dangers of neglecting religious obligations. The research method used is a thematic study (maudhu‘i) by compiling relevant hadiths from major books, then analysing them normatively and contextually. The results of the study show that fishing as a recreational activity is permissible (mubah) if done with good intentions, such as seeking livelihood or healthy entertainment. However, this activity becomes haram if it is used as a form of gambling, as stated in QS. Al-Maidah verse 90 and the hadith narrated by Muslim about the prohibition of games involving betting. In addition, fishing should not neglect religious obligations, especially prayer, which is the pillar of religion as stated in the hadith narrated by Baihaqi. The hadith also emphasises the principles of Islamic recreational ethics, namely maintaining a balanced life, environmental cleanliness, and using recreation as a means of character education. Thus, recreational activities such as fishing can be positive and even part of worship if done in accordance with Islamic manners. Conversely, if it contains elements of gambling or neglects obligations, then such activities are contrary to the principles of Sharia.
FENOMENA OUTFIT SKENA DAN HADIS ISBĀL: ANALISIS RELEVANSI TERHADAP BATASAN PAKAIAN LAKI-LAKI MODERN
This article discusses the relevance of the hadith isbāl to the phenomenon of outfit scenes in contemporary youth dress culture. The hadith isbāl, which prohibits extending clothing beyond the ankles due to arrogance, has a historical context related to the social practices of pre-Islamic Arab society. On the other hand, outfit skena is a loose and expressive style of dress that has developed in the digital age as a symbol of youth identity, creativity, and social interaction. The research method used is historical to understand the socio-historical context of the hadith, as well as a relevance approach to link the moral values of the hadith with modern fashion practices. The research data included hadiths about isbal, the views of scholars, and the phenomenon of outfit skena recorded on social media, which were analysed descriptively and qualitatively. The results of the study show that the prohibition of isbal is not merely a matter of the length of the fabric, but rather emphasises the intention and arrogance behind the way of dressing. Outfit scenes, even if they are loose and flowing, do not automatically violate Sharia law if they are not motivated by showing off or arrogance. Thus, the moral values of simplicity, sincerity, and humility remain guidelines in modern dress, so that contemporary fashion trends can be contextualised without violating Islamic principles.
ANTARA CINTA DAN BERLEBIHAN: MEMAHAMI GHULUW KEPADA ORANG SHOLEH DALAM KACAMATA HADIST
This study aims to analyse the concept of ghuluw from the perspective of hadith, including its meaning, forms, consequences and impact on religious life, as well as its relevance to the phenomenon of excessive reverence for religious figures today. This study uses a qualitative method with a library research approach, namely by examining primary sources in the form of hadith books, tafsir, and related scientific literature. The results show that ghuluw etymologically means excessive or beyond the limits in religion, while terminologically it is understood as disproportionate actions in understanding, practising, or glorifying something beyond the provisions of Sharia law. Forms of ghuluw can include the cult of religious figures, group fanaticism, and distortion of the meaning of religious teachings. The consequences of ghuluw include the emergence of doctrinal deviations, socio-religious conflicts, and a weakening of objectivity in religion. In the current context, the understanding of the hadith on ghuluw has significant relevance to the phenomenon of excessive reverence for religious figures, which often has the potential to lead to fanaticism and blind imitation. Therefore, a proportional understanding of the hadiths about ghuluw needs to be instilled to maintain the purity of Islamic teachings and balance in religion.
KONSEP QIWĀMAH (KEPEMIMPINAN SUAMI) DALAM RUMAH TANGGA: KAJIAN TEMATIK TERHADAP HADIS BUKHĀRI NO. 2558
This study aims to examine the concept of Qiwāmah (husband's leadership) in the household based on the hadith narrated by Imām al-Bukhārī No. 2558. The hadith explains the responsibilities and roles of men as leaders in their families. This study uses a thematic study method on hadiths related to Qiwāmah, with a primary focus on analysing the text, context, and scholars' understanding of the hadith. The approach used is a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis through a review of hadith commentary books, interpretations, and classical and contemporary literature. The results of this study show that the concept of Qiwāmah in Bukhari Hadith No. 2558 is not a form of male superiority over women, but rather an affirmation of the moral, spiritual, and material responsibilities of husbands guided by the values of justice, compassion, and deliberation in making household decisions. In the context of modern life, the meaning of Qiwāmah needs to be understood proportionally as leadership oriented towards cooperation and balance of roles between husband and wife, not domination. Thus, Bukhārī Hadith No. 2558 provides a strong normative basis for the formation of a sakinah family through fair, responsible, and compassionate leadership.
LARANGAN MENYAKITI SESAMA DALAM HADIS NABI SEBAGAI DASAR PENCEGAHAN BULLIYING DI PESANTREN
The phenomenon of bullying in educational institutions, including Islamic boarding schools, is a serious problem that can hinder the educational process, reduce academic achievement, and cause long-term psychological effects on victims. As institutions founded on Islamic values, Islamic boarding schools need a strong normative foundation to build a safe, ethical, and civilised educational culture. This study examines the hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad, which explicitly and implicitly emphasise the prohibition of harming others, whether through physical, verbal, or psychological actions. This prohibition is positioned as a theological foundation for the development of strategies to prevent bullying in Islamic boarding schools. Through an in-depth study of relevant hadiths, such as the prohibition of harming one another (lā taḍārrū), the prohibition of insulting, the prohibition of belittling, and the command to guard one's tongue, this study shows that prophetic values substantially support efforts to create a safe and humane pesantren environment. The results of this study are expected to contribute conceptually to the development of character building programmes, a hadith-based anti-bullying curriculum, and the strengthening of the role of caregivers and senior students in building a culture of mutual respect.
Tafsir of Sayyid Ahmad Khan represents a significant intellectual contribution to Islamic thought, emphasizing a rational and contextual approach in understanding the Qur’an. This study aims to analyze how Khan interprets Qur’anic verses by taking into account social, historical, and contemporary scientific contexts, making his exegesis relevant and applicable to modern society. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method based on library research, collecting data through the review of literature, books, journal articles, and credible online sources. The analysis reveals three main aspects in Khan’s tafsir: (1) rationality in interpreting divine revelation to align with logic and scientific knowledge, (2) the use of tafsir as a tool for intellectual renewal and apologetics to address external criticism and social challenges, and (3) contextualization to ensure that Qur’anic verses can be applied in modern life without compromising moral and legal values of Islam. Therefore, Khan’s tafsir not only explains the text literally but also provides moral, social, and political guidance that remains relevant, making it a model of integration between revelation and human reason. This study recommends utilizing Khan’s tafsir as a reference for academics, Islamic education practitioners, and the wider Muslim community to understand the Qur’an rationally, critically, and contextually.

The primary informant was Ustadz Andri Malin Batuah, and supporting informants included the village head of Sumanik, two mosque administrators, two religious leaders, six mosque youth, and two parents of teenagers.The results of the study indicate that the da'wah methods used by Ustadz Andri to foster the character of the younger generation are: first, al-hikmah (Islamic teachings) delivered wisely, openly, and with compassion toward teenagers through activities such as wirid (recitation of Islamic teachings) for teenagers via virtual videos. Second, al-mauizah hasanah (Islamic teachings) is delivered in the form of lectures, with activities such as self-reflection for teenagers, including advice, guidance, discussion, and motivation. The challenges faced by Ustadz Andri Malin Batuah in da'wah include the influence of social media and popular culture, the lack of interest and encouragement among teenagers in participating in religious activities, the lack of participation and support from community leaders, and the inability of teenagers to understand religion deeply.
MEMBANGUN PARADIGMA TAFSIR SEMANTIK : REKONTRUKSI METODE TOSHIHIKO IZUTSU DALAM STUDI AL QUR’AN KONTEMPORER
This study discusses the reconstruction of the semantic interpretation method of toshihiko izutsu in order to build a paradigm of interpretation of the Qur'an that is so relevant to the needs of contemporary thinking. The semantic method of izuts is also seen as a very important approach because it is able to reveal the network of interrelated meanings in the language structure in the Qur'an, as well as showing the Qur'an's perspective on reality. However, in this application, it is still very limited to linguistic and philosophical analysis. So far, the izutsu method has also been more focused on language only, while the social situation, human problems are less considered. Therefore, this study tries to develop this method so that it can be used to understand the Qur'an more broadly and in accordance with life today. This study also discusses a new way to more easily understand the Qur'an through a method made by Toshihiko Izutsu, which according to Izutsu, the words contained in the Qur'an are interconnected. Therefore, they cannot be understood in isolation. Because this research is seen from how the method works and also how to improve it so that it is more suitable for use today.
TAFSIR DAN HERMENEUTIKA ABDULLAH AHMED AN-NA’IM: REINTERPRETASI SYARIAH DALAM KONTEKS HAK ASASI MANUSIA DAN NEGARA SEKULER
This paper examines the interpretive thinking and hermeneutical approach of Abdullah Ahmed An-Na'im, a contemporary Islamic scholar from Sudan who is widely known as a figure of Islamic legal reform. The discussion focuses on analysing An-Na'im's contextual interpretation method in understanding Sharia law, human rights, and the relationship between religion and the state. Through a critical hermeneutical approach, An-Na'im seeks to reinterpret religious texts so that they remain in line with universal human values and the demands of modernity, without abandoning the normative roots of Islam. This research uses a qualitative method based on a literature study by examining An-Na'im's major works such as Toward an Islamic Reformation (1990) and Islam and the Secular State (2008). The results of the study show that An-Na'im's interpretation is contextual, ethical, and progressive, with an emphasis on moral hermeneutics oriented towards maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah as the basis of universal ethics. He rejects a rigid and textualistic approach to Islamic law and offers a new paradigm that integrates justice, human rights, and pluralism within the framework of a modern secular state.
REKONTRUKSI MAKNA Al-DU’A DALAM Al-QUR’AN: EKSPLORASI SEMANTIK ATAS PARADIGMA HERMENEUTIKA TOSHIHIKOIZUTSU
This study aims to reconstruct Toshihiko Izutsu’s hermeneutical paradigm through a semantic approach to understanding the meaning of du‘ā (prayer) in the Qur’an. The main problem addressed concerns the limitation of previous studies that described Izutsu’s semantic theory without deeply integrating it into the theological and experiential dimensions of Qur’anic meaning. Employing a qualitative-hermeneutical method, this research analyzes the semantic field of du‘ā in relation to other key Qur’anic concepts such as ‘ibādah (worship) and istijābah (divine response). Data were collected through a textual study of the Qur’an and Izutsu’s major works, including God and Man in the Qur’an (1964) and Ethico-Religious Concepts in the Qur’an (1966). The findings reveal that du‘ā, in Izutsu’s framework, is both a linguistic and existential phenomenon representing a reciprocal dialogue between humans and the Divine. When the initial spiritual tension of prayer becomes stabilized and deeply rooted, du‘ā transforms into ‘ibādah—a continuous mode of worship and divine consciousness. This study contributes to the development of a modern Qur’anic exegesis methodology called Qur’anic Semantic Hermeneutics, which integrates linguistic, theological, and experiential dimensions into a coherent interpretative framework.
EUTHANASIA DALAM PANDANGAN ETIS TEOLOGI KRISTEN: ANTARA KASIH DAN PENDERITAAN
This study examines euthanasia from the ethical point of view of Christian theology, with a primary focus on the relationship between love and suffering. Through a theological-ethical qualitative approach and a literature study method, this study analyzes Christian theological views on life, human dignity, and terminal suffering in moral and spiritual contexts. The results of the study show that in Christian theology, life is understood as a divine gift from God that cannot be terminated by humans, because only God has sovereignty over life and death. True love (agape) is interpreted as empathetic companionship through palliative care and pastoral service, not as an act to end suffering. Suffering in the context of the Christian faith is seen as having spiritual value that can deepen man's faith and relationship with God. Thus, euthanasia, whether active or passive, cannot be ethically-theologically justified. The Church and Christian institutions are expected to strengthen the ministry of love, spiritual consolation, and the development of ethical and pastoral education that affirms the sacred value of life and respect for human dignity in the midst of terminal suffering
AJARAN TASAWUF AL-GHAZALI: KAJIAN PUSTAKA TENTANG KONSEP, PRAKTIK, DAN RELEVANSINYA DALAM PEMIKIRAN ISLAM
This study discusses Al-Ghazali's Sufi teachings with a focus on the concept of purification of the soul (tazkiyatun nafs), ethical dimensions, and spirituality contained in his monumental works such as Ihya' Ulumiddin. This literature review discusses Al-Ghazali's thoughts on integrating sharia, hakikat, and makrifat as a process of self-transformation towards spiritual perfection. Al-Ghazali's Sufi teachings are not only a moral and spiritual foundation in classical Islamic tradition, but are also relevant to be applied in the context of modern spiritual challenges, including moral and spiritual crises in the contemporary era. This study uses a descriptive analytical method with primary sources from Al-Ghazali's works and secondary sources in the form of literature studies related to Sufism and spiritual ethics.
MATERI PENDIDIKAN DALAM Q.S. LUQMAN AYAT 12–19 DAN Q.S. AL-ISRA AYAT 23–25
The educational material in Q.S. Luqman verses 12–19 and Q.S. Al-Isra verses 23–25 discusses the principles of Islamic education, which include the formation of monotheistic beliefs, the implementation of Sharia law, and the instilling of noble character from an early age through Luqman's direct advice to his son and the affirmation of the obligation to be devoted to one's parents. In these verses, education focuses on instilling faith in Allah, prohibiting polytheism, the importance of gratitude, teaching righteous deeds, strengthening noble character, and upholding social values such as respect, politeness, and empathy towards parents even in less than ideal circumstances. These two sets of verses also emphasise the urgency of moral and spiritual education and methods of character building through wise dialogue, loving warnings, and the involvement of role models in the family. The application of this integrated educational concept is believed to be able to address humanitarian issues and the challenges of modernisation.

AKULTURASI BUDAYA MINANGKABAU DAN MANDAILING DALAM PROSES PERNIKAHAN DI NAGARI UJUNG GADING PASAMAN BARAT (1983-2000)
This research examines the cultural acculturation between Minangkabau and Mandailing in marriage processes in Nagari Ujung Gading, West Pasaman during the period of 1983-2000. Nagari Ujung Gading is a border area inhabited by two major ethnic groups, Minangkabau and Mandailing, each with different cultural characteristics. The focus of the research is on the acculturation process, the dominance of Minangkabau culture, and the position of Mandailing culture in the context of marriage. The research uses a qualitative approach with heuristic historical research methods. Primary data was obtained through interviews with traditional leaders and local communities, as well as written documents such as traditional tambo books. The results show that the acculturation process occurred through long-term social interactions that began with the migration of Mandailing people to the Pasaman region. Minangkabau culture dominates the wedding procession due to geographical, social, and cultural factors. Nevertheless, Mandailing culture maintains a significant position in several elements of marriage, especially in the tradition of dowry money (uang hantaran) and mangupa-upa ritual. This acculturation not only gave birth to unique marriage practices but also created a hybrid cultural identity reflected in language and traditional rituals.
KONSEP SHAUM SEBAGAI MEDIA TAZKIYATUN NAFS DALAM TAFSIR FAID AR-RAHMAN KARYA KH. SHOLEH DARAT
This study examines the concept of fasting as a medium of tazkiyatun nafs (purification of the soul) from the perspective of KH. Sholeh Darat through Tafsir Faidh al-Rahman. KH. Sholeh Darat, a 19th-century scholar of the archipelago, interpreted fasting through a Sufi approach that emphasized the spiritual and inner dimensions. In Al-Baqarah verse 183, he divides fasting into three levels: physical fasting (shari'ah), fasting of the limbs (thariqah), and fasting of the heart (haqiqah), in line with Al-Ghazali's thought. Fasting is not only aimed at individual piety but also has a social impact, such as increasing self-awareness, brotherhood, and community order. This study demonstrates that a holistic understanding of fasting, combining aspects of fiqh and Sufism, is relevant for overcoming the limited knowledge of those who focus solely on legal aspects. Fasting is regarded as an effective means of spiritual transformation, purifying the soul and leading to a more meaningful life.
KEILAHIAN DAN KEMANUSIAAN KRISTUS DALAM PERISTIWA KELAHIRANNYA
This study aims to describe the understanding of Christological doctrine regarding the unity of Christ's divinity and humanity in the event of His birth, examine the relationship between incarnation and salvation, and understand its practical implications as a model of faith, hope, and service. This research uses a qualitative approach by reviewing literature from five book sources and five online journals. The results show that Christological doctrine explains the unity of divinity and humanity through the concept of incarnation established by the church councils. The birth of Christ through the Virgin Mary proves His humanity, while conception through the Holy Spirit demonstrates His divinity. Incarnation has an integral relationship with salvation; without it, the work of redemption cannot be accomplished because a perfect Mediator with both divine and human nature is required. Furthermore, the birth of Jesus provides an example of humility that serves as the foundation for the faith, hope, and service of Christians today. This research concludes that the event of Christ's birth is not merely historical but a fundamental theological foundation for the Christian faith, with relevant implications for the life and ministry of believers.
HUMA BETANG SEBAGAI BUDAYA TANDINGAN: Relevansi Teologi Kontekstual Bagi Gereja Di Kalimantan Tengah
Huma Betang is a cultural symbol of the Dayak Ngaju people in Central Kalimantan, representing not only a physical dwelling but also a worldview grounded in togetherness, tolerance, justice, deliberation, and simplicity. Within contextual theology, Huma Betang serves as a countercultural model that challenges the growing tide of globalization and modernity marked by individualism, materialism, and competition. This study aims to explore the relevance of Huma Betang’s values for church life in Central Kalimantan, particularly in the practice of contextual theology. Using a descriptive-qualitative method through theological and cultural literature analysis, the study reveals that Huma Betang’s values align with Gospel principles and can serve as the foundation for a contextual and transformative church community. A church rooted in Huma Betang’s ethos becomes an alternative community that resists dominant culture while embodying love, social justice, and ecological spirituality.
PERAN ROH KUDUS DALAM KEHIDUPAN ORANG PERCAYA MENURUT KITAB PERJANJIAN BARU
This study highlights the urgent need to comprehensively understand the function of the Holy Spirit, which is triggered by theological confusion that still prevails among believers. The main objective of this study is to comprehensively examine and compile various aspects of the role of the Holy Spirit as described in the New Testament, in order to provide an integrated and applicable framework in Christian life. Using a qualitative approach through a literature review (pneumatology), this study primarily examines the New Testament as the primary source, accompanied by secondary references such as theology books and journals. The findings of this study reinforce the main thesis, concluding that the Holy Spirit is a Divine Person whose activities changed from being selective and temporary in the Old Testament to being universal and eternal in the New Testament. Further research shows that the Holy Spirit's functions can be organized into two essential roles, namely as the Sanctifier (internal character formation) and the Paraclete (Helper, Comforter, and External Empowerer). Overall, this study emphasizes that an integrated understanding of the Holy Spirit's role provides a solid theological foundation and practical model for spiritual development, encouraging a more conscious dependence on the Holy Spirit in achieving holiness and mission service.
STUDI ANALITIS ATAS TAFSIR AL-MANAR: KONTRIBUSI INTELEKTUAL MUHAMMAD ABDUH DAN M. RASYID RIDHA DALAM TRADISI TAFSIR MODERN
This study aims to analytically examine the intellectual contributions of Muhammad Abduh and M. Rasyid Ridha to the tradition of modern exegesis through their monumental work, Tafsir al-Manar. This study uses a qualitative approach with a library research method, namely by examining various primary and secondary sources, both in the form of tafsir books, scientific works, and relevant contemporary research results. The results of the study show that Tafsir al-Manar was born out of a social, political, and intellectual context that demanded the renewal of Islamic thought in the modern era. The contributions of Abduh and Ridha are evident in their efforts to integrate rationality, morality, and social relevance in the interpretation of the Qur'an, thus giving birth to a paradigm of interpretation that is responsive to the changing times. Furthermore, the influence of Tafsir al-Manar has proven to be so widespread that it has inspired the emergence of modern interpretations such as Tafsir al-Maraghi and Tafsir al-Azhar, as well as providing a methodological basis for the development of contextual interpretation today. Thus, this study confirms that Tafsir al-Manar not only serves as a monumental work of interpretation, but also as an important milestone in the evolution of the modern tradition of interpretation that emphasises a balance between text, reason, and social reality.
DOKTRIN ALKITAB: FONDASI IMAN KRISTEN DAN RELEVANSINYA MASA KINI
This journal article aims to systematically explore the doctrine of the Bible (Bibliology) as the foundational pillar of the Christian faith and its relevance for believers today. The central problem addressed is the waning acknowledgment of the Bible's authority in the postmodern era, marked by rationalist skepticism, liberal interpretations, and a practical neglect of Scripture in daily life. Employing a qualitative literature research method, this study draws upon theological works from figures such as Louis Berkhof, Henry C. Thiessen, and Paul Enns. The findings indicate that the Bible, composed of the Old and New Testaments written over 1,500 years by more than 40 authors, demonstrates a remarkable unity centered on God's salvation plan through Jesus Christ. As God-breathed Scripture (theopneustos), it possesses divine attributes: authority, inerrancy, sufficiency, clarity, necessity, and eternality. The study concludes that Bibliology is not merely an academic discipline but a crucial doctrine that shapes the believer's faith, provides ethical standards, offers comfort, and motivates mission. Its application in personal, family, church, and societal life ensures that the Christian faith remains robust and relevant amidst contemporary challenges
METODE MENGHAFAL AL-QUR’AN PADA WANITA KARIER DI LEMBAGA AHLUL QUR’AN DESA SEBAWI KECAMATAN SEBAWI KABUPATEN SAMBAS
Memorising the Qur'an is a form of worship that began during the time of the Prophet Muhammad and has continued to develop to the present day. The process of memorising the Qur'an implemented by career women at the Ahlul Qur'an Institute involves several methods recommended by Qur'an memorisation experts, namely the wahdah, bin-nazar, sima'i, talaqqi, takrir, tahfiz, tasmi', and kitabah methods. Of the various methods of memorising the Qur'an, these can make it easier and faster for career women to memorise. The purpose of this study is to determine the methods, implementation steps, and supporting and inhibiting factors in the application of the Qur'an memorisation methods used by career women at the Ahlul Qur'an Institute in Sebawi Village, Sebawi District, Sambas Regency. The method used in this study is qualitative. The location used for this study is the Ahlul Qur'an Institute in Sebawi Village, Sebawi District, Sambas Regency, while the research subjects are four career women and one informant, who is the head of the institute. The reason for using this method was to explore, observe, or find more accurate data on the methods used by career women to memorise the Qur'an at the Ahlul Qur'an Institute in Sebawi Village, Sebawi Subdistrict, Sambas Regency. Based on the results of the study, the following conclusions can be drawn: (1) the methods used by career women in memorising the Qur'an are the verse-by-verse memorisation method, the reading observation method, and the repetition method. (2) The steps in applying the method of memorising the Qur'an among career women at the Ahlul Qur'an Institute in Sebawi Village, Sebawi District, Sambas Regency, are reading verses during prayer, submitting new memorisation, and understanding the verses to be memorised. (3) Supporting and inhibiting factors are the presence of a mentor and the use of the right method. The inhibiting factors are busyness and difficulty in managing time, and memorising using the applied method requires a considerable amount of time to produce quality memorisation.
MENAVIGASI NILAI DAN GAGASAN MODERASI BERAGAMA DALAM MASYARAKAT KONTEMPORER
Exploring the concept of religious moderation and its relevance in contemporary society, aiming to distinguish it from fundamentalism, extremism, and liberalism. I provide a conceptual framework for understanding religious moderation, examining its etymology, historical context, and interdisciplinary interpretations. The core values of moderation—tolerance, empathy, dialogue, and inclusivity—are analysed alongside the principles of contextual interpretation of religious texts and the role of ethics and social justice. Through concrete examples from Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and other religious traditions, I highlight how these principles are manifested in practice. Furthermore, I discuss the challenges and criticisms faced by religious moderation from conservative and secular perspectives, emphasising the delicate balance between religious belief and inclusivity in a diverse society. This comprehensive analysis aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of how religious moderation can promote peaceful coexistence and social justice in an increasingly polarised world.

This article examines Christian theology from the perspective of Paul's evangelism as an effort to interpret the Gospel and build congregations amidst the challenges of the socio-cultural context. This study uses a qualitative approach with library research methods, examining New Testament texts, especially Paul's letters, as well as contemporary theological and missiological literature in Indonesian. The results of the study indicate that Paul's evangelism emphasizes the integration of fidelity to the core of the Gospel, the transformation of congregational life, sound teaching, and harmonious community relations. Paul's contextual and inculturative evangelism strategy is relevant for the church today, as it allows for the delivery of the Gospel that is sensitive to the culture and needs of the congregation without compromising theological truth. Congregational development through teaching and community relations demonstrates that evangelism is not only doctrinal, but also practical and relational, forming a strong Christian character and an inclusive community. This study provides theoretical and practical contributions to the modern church in developing relevant evangelism strategies and building strong congregations in a pluralistic and dynamic society.
TAHALLI: MENGISI JIWA DENGAN SIFAT-SIFAT BAIK
Tahalli is an essential stage in the process of purifying the soul (tazkiyatun nafs) that plays a crucial role in the formation of noble character in Islam. Essentially, tahalli is the effort to beautify the soul with virtuous qualities after cleansing it from reprehensible traits through takhalli. Tahalli requires individuals to consciously and consistently instill values of goodness, both in their relationship with Allah and with fellow human beings. In practice, tahalli has a significant impact on both individual life and society. This process begins with strengthening faith and habituating oneself to practice virtuous character traits, such as sincerity, patience, trust in Allah, gratitude, and humility. The positive impacts of tahalli not only encompass inner peace but also improve social relationships, create a harmonious environment, and promote the development of a civilization based on moral values. Therefore, tahalli becomes a fundamental foundation in building an outstanding individual and a prosperous society.
