THE ADAPTATION OF CYBER SALAFISM DAʿWAH IN HADĪTH AḤKĀM LITERATURE: ANALYZING ʿUMDAT AL-AḤKĀM SERMONS ON THE YUFID CHANNEL
This article examines how Salafism adjusts conservative literature with its preaching on YouTube. Over the last decade, Salafism has gained significant traction in Indonesian cyberspace and urban centers. Moreover, the impact of expanding preaching through social media platforms, such as Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook, has proven successful in increasing their popularity in urban areas. Therefore, uncovering the modification of conservative law literature in cyber-Salafism is significant because it not only captures the method of Salafism in online preaching but also reveals how Islamic classical books are adapted for online media. The object of this study is 240 Yufid videos discussing ʿUmdat al-Aḥkām. Therefore, this study employs an online ethnographic method in order to collect, classify, and analyze the data. Moreover, it is also applied to defining the setting of the research, feeding insight to the studied community, and presenting the results with ethical awareness. This study revealed that Yufid’s interpretation of ʿUmdat al-Aḥkām tends to be textual and seems indifferent to the social conditions of the surrounding community. Moreover, it also uncovered how ʿUmdat al-Aḥkām sermons manifest the business purpose of Yufid rather than theological demand. Through this research, we suggest that the government or scholars can monitor online preaching on YouTube channels as an extension of real movements.

DISLOCATION OF ISLAMIC SCIENTIFIC TRADITION THROUGH DIGITAL PUBLIC SPHERE: NETNOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS ON THE DISCOURSE OF AHL AL-SUNNAH WA AL-JAMA’A BETWEEN TRADITIONALIST AND MODERNIST MUSLIMS
On how digital public sphere distort traditional Islamic public sphere, many scholars are convinced that media's work is inextricably linked with producing false consciousness, in which its audiences' opinions are stirred and engineered for Ideological entrenchment. It is a consensus among scholars that media has the effectivity for the propaganda tools, while significant current media theories concern the role of media in favour of the power interest through the mechanism of algorigma; e.g., Echo chambers and filter bubbles. Based on netnographic data on Aswaja discourse, this paper attempts to unearth the dislocation of Islamic scientific tradition through digital public sphere. This paper argues that digital public sphere has played a significant role in disrupted the traditional Islamic scholarly tradition by instrumentalizing religious discourse to maintain hegemony over minority groups. This paper has an important contribution to understanding the mode of piety and religious practices used for cultural hegemony and the ways media plays its role in constructing and remaking the meaning of religious concepts and piety.

WOMEN AND MUSLIM EDUCATION IN WEST SUMATRA, INDONESIA
Minangkabau was known for its dominant Islamic education history especially in modern times since the beginning of the twentieth century as a number of so-called madrasah or Islamic educational reforms have been credited to several prominent figures in the region. This region also has a significant history and tradition of matriarchal and matrilineal kinship that relate to women’s position, and their contributions in the public affairs, including in the field of education. Several prominent women from the region have been named as founders of several schools for women, or journalists that campaign for women’s education. This study examines the socio-historical aspects of women and education and the women’s educational movement initiatives from the cases of few female figures such as Rahmah el-Yunusiyyah and others. From a historical perspective and qualitative library research data, this study shows the presence of local female figures in the field of education alongside their male counterparts amidst the kaum muda and kaum tua socio-religious contestation. The socio-local traditions influenced women’s presence and contribution to the public sphere, and those women not only established schools for women but also advocated women’s rights, including their rights for education through journalism and politics.
SHARIA INTERNAL RESOURCES: CAPABILITIES TO DRIVE THE SUSTAINABILITY OF ISLAMIC BANKING
Having the largest Muslim population in the world, Indonesia presents a potential market for the development of Islamic banking, especially considering that the market share of Islamic banking is currently less than 10%. The unique characteristics of Islamic banking, which distinguish it from conventional banking, suggest the possibility of having extraordinary internal resource capabilities. This study aims to explore internal resources within the context of Islamic banking, a sector with considerable potential for growth in the financial industry. This study uses an exploratory approach with focus group discussion and exploratory factor analysis to develop and identify the dimensions of Sharia Internal Resources. The results are first-order factors generated by grouping items into four dimensions. Each formed dimension corresponds to Islamic elements that refer to activities and operational processes based on Islamic law. Furthermore, the second-order analysis found that the formed, first-order factors can be integrated into a more comprehensive construct: Sharia Internal Resources. These findings enrich general knowledge by providing insight into the internal resources that are essential and unique for the sustainability of the Islamic banking sector, particularly when facing competition dominated by conventional banking.

DESIGNING A GENDER-RESPONSIVE QIRA’AH‎ LEARNING MODULE: ‎BRIDGING EQUALITY AND INCLUSIVITY IN ISLAMIC ‎HIGHER EDUCATION
The lack of gender-responsive learning materials causes biased understanding and does not support the principle of gender equality in Islam. Therefore, developing a gender-responsive qira’ah learning module aligned with gender equality principles represents an innovative approach to curriculum development. This research aims to design and test a gender-responsive qira’ah ‎ learning module for Islamic higher education using the research and development method and the ADDIE model, representing an innovative effort in curriculum development. The research results indicate that this gender-responsive qira’ah ‎ learning module significantly enhances students understanding of gender equality in the context of Islam. This is evidenced by an increase in the average score from 47,5 on the pre-test to 82 on the post-test, a gain of 34,5 points with a t-test yielding a p-value of 0.00, confirming that the improvement is statistically significant. The design of the module that integrates gender equality values, examples of the use of inclusive, non-stereotypical language, encouraging active student participation has created an inclusive learning environment. This is one aspect of the novelty of the results of this research. This module is expected to be a model for developing a qira’ah‎ curriculum that is more relevant and responsive to gender issues.

TEACHERS’ PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND REINFORCEMENT AT INTEGRATED ISLAMIC SCHOOLS IN INDONESIA
The development of Integrated Islamic Primary Schools is in response to the society’s increasing demand for quality graduates. Thus, the emphasis on the effectiveness of learning in Integrated Islamic Primary Schools (IIPS) necessitates institutional innovation and teacher professionalism. This research investigates the professionalism in IIPS and determines the factors that contribute to teachers' professional practices. The study is qualitative with a phenomenological approach. This study employed the “Tarbiyah learning framework” developed by Abdurahman Al-Nahlawi, and the data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations to investigate the dimensions of teacher professionalism, teaching methodologies, and factors affecting teacher professionalism. The findings reveal that there is a mismatch between professional development initiatives and the actual conditions faced by students. Teaching-learning process that is responsive to students needs and characteristics, collaborative learning programs and supervision sctivities are all viable strategies. Teacher professionalism can be identified by demonstrating strong commitment and work discipline. The IIPS also provides structured training programs and collaborative partnerships with the education office to improve relevant teaching competencies and methodologies. Further, the social implications of this research include the availability of high-quality educational options for the community at the primary school level. Furthermore, the varied management system of IIPS serves as a social control to ensure the quality of primary education continues to develop.

THE RESPONSE OF MUSLIM YOUTH IN BANDA ACEH TOWARD ISLAMIC CONTEMPORARY ISSUES IN INDONESIA
The study delves into the response of the younger generation of Muslims in Banda Aceh to contemporary issues in Indonesia. It aims to investigate their perspectives on religious tolerance and their attitudes towards socio-political issues in Indonesia. The author employed in-depth interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) to gain insights into the mindset of the young Muslim populace in Banda Aceh. The study unearthed a notable shift in the acquisition of religious knowledge, primarily through digital mediums, leading to a diminished association of violence and extremism with religious discord. The young Muslims of Banda Aceh exhibit a substantial inclination towards tolerance and nationalism. However, they hold firm in their unwillingness to compromise when tolerance undermines their religious convictions. Furthermore, they assert that national issues intertwined with Islam do not sway their overarching outlook on the nation and state.

COMMUNICATIVE FUNCTIONS USED IN POPE’S 2021 SPEECH IN IRAQ: A CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF RELIGIOUS PLURALISM
The ongoing state of religious diversity leads to the need of adhering interfaith dialogue as a means for achieving religious pluralism that encourages and promotes respect and acceptance of freedom of religion. Pope Francis’s (2021) speech delivered in the historical City of Ur, Iraq is a call for such pluralism. In this study, it is hypothesised that Pope has focused on the communicative functions that enhance religious diversity acceptance. The study aims at finding out the communicative functions employed in Pope’s speech. In order to achieve this aim, Gerard Genette’s theory of narratology (1980) is adopted. Based on the findings of the analysis, it is concluded that various communicative functions are utilized: narrative, directing, communication, and ideological. Mostly used one is the communication function which is critical in transmitting the fundamental message of unity, peace, and brotherhood. This function is critical for engaging the audience and instilling a sense of shared responsibility for promoting tolerance and peace among religious communities. Consequently, the conclusions arrived at affirm the put hypotheses.

MUDA WALY AL-KHALIDI (1917-1961): PESANTREN, TARIQAH, AND POLITICS OF RELIGIOUS AUTHORITY IN ACEH
This study explores the life and contributions of Muda Waly al-Khalidi (1917–1961), a prominent Acehnese ulama who played a crucial role in shaping Islamic education, Sufi practices, and ulama politics of religious authority in Aceh. Muda Waly was instrumental in advancing the Ahlussunnah wal Jama'ah (Aswaja) theological tradition and propagating the Naqshbandiyya Khalidiyya tariqa.Naqshbandiyah Khalidiyah tariqa. He founded the Darussalam Islamic boarding school (pesantren) in Labuhanhaji, which became a significant center for Islamic learning in Aceh. His efforts also extended into politics through his involvement with Persatuan Tarbiyah Islamiyah (PERTI), a traditionalist Islamic organization countering modernist influences. Using Foucault’s genealogy approach, this study examines the intellectual and religious formation of Muda Waly, tracing his educational lineage in Sumatra and Mecca, his engagement in theological debates, and his role in shaping Aceh’s religious landscape. I argue that the legacy of Muda Waly al-Khalidi represents an intricate process of knowledge formation and power relations in Aceh’s religious landscape. His establishment of pesantren, propagation of the Naqshbandiyya Khalidiyya Sufi order, and resistance to modernist movements illustrate the genealogical development of religious authority. His contributions demonstrate how religious authoritytraditions are continuously reshaped through negotiation, appropriation, and resistance. Future studies could further explore how his epistemic legacy continues to evolve in response to emerging theological and political contestations in Indonesia.
THE COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE OF RELIGIOUS BELIEF FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SAM HARRIS: A CRITIQUE
This research aims to criticize the perspective of Sam Harris on which he built his philosophical and intellectual framework in his cognitive neuroscience-based interpretation of multiple philosophical concepts such as belief, disbelief, morality, and free will in his base research paper titled (Functional Neuroimaging of Belief, Disbelief, and Uncertainty). This research relied on description, analysis, and criticism. It describes Sam Harris’s core thoughts in his study on neuroimaging, and then analyzes them and states their purposes and implications. Then it criticizes his ideas, relying on two elements. First, the logical and philosophical and Kalam argumentations to criticize his ideas and to explain the flaws in his knowledge foundations. Second, relying on the neuroscientists’ views contradicting the theses in Harris’ paper besides general scientific criticism. The research concluded that consciousness precedes matter and not the opposite, and that belief is innate in the human mind from birth and is one of the so-called necessary-knowledge that cannot be refuted by material experiences. Thus, faith is an innate awareness and not a purely materialistic cognitive state that can be reduced, or abstracted, and its level cannot be measured by simply conducting tests through belief, disbelief, or uncertainty about written prepositions.

RELIGIOUS AND CULTURAL DEMARCATION: THE MYSTICISM DIMENSION IN THE PAJONJONG BAGAS TRADITION BY THE BATAK ANGKOLA MUSLIM COMMUNITY
Abstract This study aims to determine the mystical dimensions of the pajonjong bagas ceremony, a series of rituals in building a new house, as part of the culture of the Batak Angkola community. In this traditional ceremony, several rituals contain mystical elements, to influence the beliefs of Ahlu Sunnah wal Jama'ah. Based on the qualitative study, an ethnographic approach was employed, with data obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation of the entire pajonjong bagas ceremonial processes in the Batang Angkola sub-district, South Tapanuli. The results showed that the pajonjong bagas encompassed a high philosophical value and were highly beneficial for the community, specifically for those establishing new houses and still deeply rooted in local traditions or wisdom. However, several elements of the rituals were not explicitly studied or significant in the teachings of Islam. Various symbols were also used in the ceremony, such as coconut, sugarcane and palm sugar, chayote, and banana symbolizing usefulness, sweet speech actualization, continuity, and coolness. All these symbols were assembled and hung on the rabung bukkulan, a wooden structure used as a framework. This cultural accommodation was subsequently associated with local and Sufi mysticism.

EDUCATING CHILDREN IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY: AN INSIGHT FROM MUSLIM FAMILIES
Educating children in the 21st century is different from it was in the 20st century. Parents in this era face challenges because it is impossible for their children to be away from the Internet and social media. Children become asocial because of their addiction to gadgets and the Internet. However, from the Internet, they may learn different new things that allow them to get information faster than their parents do. Parents must certainly adapt to this change in educating their children so that they are not distracted by the negative effects of incorrect education caused by technological advancements. The purpose of this study is to promote some of the important knowledge that parents must have to educate their children in this century, aside from religious knowledge, as the primary foundation of upbringing in Muslim families. This research undertakes a thorough examination of scholarly work on Islamic education for children and contemporary studies on children's learning in the 21st century. After scrutinizing a range of literature, the researchers identified several pertinent references for this investigation. The results of this study elucidate that in order to effectively nurture their children in the contemporary era, parents are required to possess a profound understanding of Islamic principles alongside a continuous commitment to enhance their comprehension in diverse fields such as parenting techniques, information technology, psychology, and communication strategies.

CHILD GUARDIANSHIP IN INDONESIAN LEGISLATION REGULATIONS
Every child has the fundamental right to protection, which includes having a guardian. If the child's parents are still alive, they are automatically considered the guardians. But in certain cases where this is not possible, a court will assign another person or a governmental institution to act as the child's guardian. The laws and regulations surrounding guardianship in Indonesia are often inconsistent. This study aims to clarify the age requirements for children in need of a guardian, the procedures for appointing a guardian, as well as the duties and responsibilities of guardians according to Indonesian laws. The research also highlights areas for improvement. To achieve this, a statutory approach is adopted, with legal regulations in Indonesia on children and guardianship as the primary source of data. The findings reveal that the age requirements for children to have a guardian range from 16 to 19 years. Additionally, a court order is required for the appointment of a guardian to ensure legal validity. Additionally, the selection of a guardian needs to go through a court ruling in order to ensure legal clarity. The regulations differ from one to another, and in the process, there have been no affirmative efforts taken to expedite the process of appointing a guardian, which has the impact of children not being protected from the start. Affirmation efforts can be carried out through the involvement of village government officials and the subdistrict Religious Affairs Office for those who are Muslim. Then, regarding the duties and responsibilities of guardians, there are still differences either the guardian’s obligation to fulfil a child’s physical and spiritual needs or maintain the child’s assets. These provisions need to be combined to provide comprehensive protection for children from various aspects

PHILOSOPHICAL VALUES IN NUMBER THEORY OF IKHWĀN AL-ṢAFĀ'
In mathematics, especially Arithmetic, there is a theory of numbers that can represent philosophical values. Mathematics is often presented with materialist values without deep meaning. One group of classical philosophers with mathematical thoughts, especially number theory, which explains the number material itself and relates it to meaningful philosophical values, is Ikhwān al-Ṣafā'. This research aims to reveal the philosophical values contained in the thought of the number. Using a qualitative research method based on a literature study approach, the researcher specifically examines the phenomenal book Rasā'il Ikhwān al-Ṣafā' as a primary source as well as other relevant references as secondary sources. The study found that in the number theory of Ikhwān al-Ṣafā', there are philosophical values such as monotheism described by the characteristics of the number one and the value of creation described by the sequence of the number ladder. This research initiates a discourse on the philosophy of numbers that previously has never been studied for it will serve as a pioneer for further research.

ROLES AND CHALLENGES OF PESANTREN INTELLECTUAL NETWORKS
Islamic boarding schools, known as pesantrens, serve as institutions dedicated to the preservation of knowledge passed down by their respective kiyai. The significance of pesantrens in Indonesia within the national education framework has expanded, influencing various sectors. Their impact on both national and international education has increased progressively, emphasizing modernization, educational quality, community dynamics within Islamic boarding schools, and human capital. The primary objective of this research is to elucidate the role played by the intellectual network of pesantrens in Indonesia. This investigation is conducted through a comprehensive review of existing literature using qualitative research methods. The analytical approach employed encompasses both descriptive and critical analyses. The study reveals that present-day pesantrens encounter a multitude of challenges that necessitate appropriate solutions. Among these challenges is the emergence of the Islamic reform movement. The enduring presence of pesantrens in Indonesia can be attributed to deep-rooted socio-historical foundations and the robust support of the intellectual network within these institutions. Consequently, these schools continue to fulfill a crucial function in disseminating knowledge within the community. It is evident from this study that the intellectual network of pesantrens plays a pivotal role in shaping societal dynamics. Moreover, this network must be attuned to contemporary challenges in order to ensure the sustained relevance and enhanced quality of pesantrens as key sources of scholarly expertise.

EFFORTS TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF COVID-19 ACCORDING TO THE DOCTRINE OF MUHAMMADIYAH IN INDONESIA: HADITH STUDIES
COVID-19 has emerged as the global challenge confronting the community. The Indonesian government and Muhammadiyah have been engaged in efforts to mitigate the ongoing transmission of COVID-19. Diverse strategies have been employed to combat this disease and prevent its spread and fatalities. This study aims to examine and explain Muhammadiyah’s preventive efforts in Indonesia to combat COVID-19, drawing upon an interpretation of hadiths from the Prophet. A qualitative method was employed to address this issue with a historical, sociological approach to investigate the social conditions during the time of the Prophet and their prevention in relation to contemporary times performed by Muhammadiyah. The study revealed that Muhammadiyah has addressed community and humanitarian issues by implementing efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19. One such effort was restricting worship activities in mosques and encouraging people to perform them at home until the situation returned to normal. However, in areas deemed safe from COVID-19, worship could still be conducted in mosques while adhering to health protocols such as maintaining social distance, wearing masks, and practicing proper hand hygiene. Furthermore, learning in large group settings has been limited, leading to a shift toward remote online learning from home. Engaging in outdoor muamalah activities, such as working, meetings, religious studies, shopping, and other activities that attract and result in big gatherings, has also been restricted. These efforts aim to disrupt the transmission of COVID-19 as a manifestation of societal care, guided by the teachings of the Prophet as recorded in the hadiths.

RELIGIOUS MODERATION THROUGH PERSIA-ACEH INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION
The cultural encounter between Aceh and Persian traditions occurred through the approach of Sufism during the early spread of Islam in the Nusantara, where Islam was embraced as a socio-cultural ideology by the Acehnese people. The formalization of structural Islamic law in Aceh today has effectively closed off the possibility of religious moderation within the diversity of new cultural expressions. One of these measures is the establishment of Shafi'i school regulations as the main model in Aceh, which impacts the restriction and adjustment of certain traditions and arts that do not align with this school of thought. As a result, intercultural communication becomes an alternative approach to rebuilding mutual understanding, emphasizing the importance of tolerance, and appreciating cultural differences in Indonesia. However, the desired form of moderation has not yet materialized, as evidenced by the emergence of coercive attitudes within a singular religious perspective. Through an intercultural communication approach, this study reveals the moderation attitudes manifested from the cultural encounter between Aceh and Persia. The presence of Persian-style gravestones, still visible in several areas of Pidie (such as Giging, Bungiy, Meunasah Raya Paleue, and Cot Satu), serves as evidence of this cultural exchange. The descriptive-analytical method employed in this research uncovers several findings, including that history demonstrates the intense cultural communication between Persia and the Acehnese people as an expression of religious moderation. However, over time, with the implementation of structural Islam, the attitude of religious moderation has gradually eroded, either directly or indirectly.
JEWISH ANTAGONISM AS PORTRAYED BY HAMKA IN THE BOOK OF TAFSIR AL-AZHAR
Abdul Malik Karim Amrullah (Hamka) is widely recognized as a leading Muslim intellectual of 20th-century Indonesia, renowned for his extensive body of work, including both novels and Qur'anic exegesis. His tafsir has been the subject of considerable scholarly interest across Asia. The Qur'an contains numerous verses concerning the Jews, and as an exegete of the entire 30 juz of the Qur'an, Hamka offers a distinct interpretation of these verses. The 20th century was a period marked by significant global political upheaval, notably the establishment of Israel in 1948. The creation of the Israeli state had profound consequences for Muslims worldwide, intensifying anti-Jewish, anti-Zionist, and anti-Israel sentiments, which also permeated discourse in the United States and the United Kingdom. Within this context, several Islamic scholars began to integrate European concepts found in the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion," a document that portrays Jews as malevolent and conspiratorial figures. These ideas gradually infiltrated the field of Qur'anic exegesis, including Indonesian works, most prominently Hamka's Tafsir Al-Azhar, first published in 1965. Before this period, the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" had not influenced Qur'anic interpretation. This paper seeks to critically analyze the theme of Jewish conspiracy in Hamka's tafsir by tracing the origins of his arguments, identifying the presence of conspiratorial elements in his exegesis, and examining the extent to which Hamka's views converge with those of Sayyid Qutb. The study employs a library-based literature review utilizing a descriptive-analytical and critical approach. The findings reveal that Hamka strongly adheres to the conspiracy theory espoused in the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion," depicting Jews as aiming to establish a new world order, dominate the global economy, and control Hollywood and the media. Moreover, Hamka's interpretations are significantly shaped by Sayyid Qutb's concepts of Jahiliyyah (ignorance) and Hakimiyyah (sovereignty).

AL-KUTUB AL-MADRASIYAH AL-‘ARABIYAH FĪ INDŪNISIYĀ MIN MAẒŪRI WAṬANĪYIN WA ‘ĀLAMĪYIN
The study of school textbooks is interesting to examine comprehensively and in-depth. The issues with textbooks can be mapped into three crucial problems: First, issues related to the preparation and assessment phase. Second, issues related to the distribution of books, including accessibility and the purchasing power of textbooks. Third, problems related to the usage of books. This research focuses on developing a comprehensive assessment instrument for Arabic language textbooks.

The aim of this study is discussing the contemporary Fiqh views on the impact of sex change on transgender inheritance and discuss them. The study followed the comparative critical inductive approach. The study ended up dividing the impact of sex change on transgender inheritance into two forms; the first: if the transgender is the inheritor, then his share is the share of the hermaphrodite formed according to the Hanafi school; to activate the principle of Ta'zir by taking money, and the position of Hanafi is necessary for the Jordanian Personal Status Law. If the transferee is the inheritor, there is no effect of the transferee on the share of the heirs.

HIJACKING OF STATE POWER ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM BY COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS IN INDONESIA
This study aims to reveal the failure of the state to use its authority to ensure the fulfilment of religious freedom for all its citizens maximally and adequately because, in practice, the state sometimes takes refuge behind the slogan of neutrality when it sees the majority group committing violent practices against minority groups. This study uses a discourse analysis method with a phenomenological approach to understanding the meaning of various events and human interactions. Meanwhile, the data was collected through literature study, media study, and observation using content analysis and discourse analysis methods in processing the data. Then this research results in the finding that opening the state accommodation gap to the demands of the majority religious group will provide space for them to take advantage of the similarities in their religious ideology with state actors and then attempt to dictate state policy. The inability of the state to be neutral in solving the problems of its people, at the same time, has given rise to the impression that a handful of certain social classes have controlled the state. Even this research results also show that tendencies of intolerance and discrimination arise in the community.

RENARRATING THE ISLAMISATION OF THE MALAY-INDONESIAN ARCHIPELAGO IN 13th-19th CENTURIES
This article aims at re-presenting the Islamisation of the Malay-Indonesian archipelago from the 13th to 19th century, focusing on the narrative of intellectualism and activism conducted inter-relatedly during the very act of religious proselytization. The background of this research arises from the need to understand the complexity of Islamisation in the archipelago, on the one hand, and the negligence of such narrative in the historiography of islamization, on the other. Taking this as the basis of narrative, this article will re-explain the major phases in the Islamization of the archipelago by paying attention both to the political variable and, particularly, the intellectual-historical aspects. This paper uses the historical-descriptive method by collecting and analyzing relevant historical materials. The selected data will be re-narrated within the framework of intellectualism and activism in the Islamization process. This research also uses the comparative method to compare the phases of Islamization in various regions of the archipelago, thus providing a more complete picture of the dynamics that occurred in the 13th to 19th centuries. The expected purpose is to go beyond the political-historical perspective that currently dominates the historiography of Islamization and marginalizes the proselytizing aspect which is an intertwining of intellectualism and activism in that process.

A MODULE ON ISLAMIC-BASED PARENTING EDUCATION FOR YOUTH FAMILY DEVELOPMENT: EDUCATING MUSLIM TEENAGERS FOR FUTURE SUCCESS
This project aims to create an Islamic-centered parenting education module implemented in Youth Family Guidance (Bina Keluarga Remaja - BKR) programs to help parents educate and equip their teenagers for future success. The module was created by gathering parenting education resources for teenagers from an Islamic viewpoint that align with the current content in BKR activities. The Islamic content is incorporated into all BKR operations. The module was developed using the three stages of the Plomp model: preliminary study, prototype development, and assessment. This research has resulted in an Islamic-centered parenting module called "How to Educate Muslim Teenagers in Reaching the Future". The validators deemed the module very valid and practical after testing. The module has been partially implemented and feedback from observers and informants suggests that it can effectively enhance parents' comprehension and abilities in educating and caring for adolescent children during BKR activities.

THE ROLE OF ANAK JALANAN AT-TAMUR ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOL IN INTERNALIZING THE VALUES OF RELIGIOUS MODERATION TO COLLEGE STUDENTS IN BANDUNG
The emergence of the concept of religious moderation initiated by the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia and set forth in the 2020-2024 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) indicates that the program for internalizing and strengthening the values of religious moderation is very important and urgent to implement. The values of religious moderation consist of four points, namely national commitment, tolerance, anti-radicalism, and accommodative to local culture. The direction to internalize the four values of religious moderation is also played by the Anak Jalanan At-Tamur Islamic Boarding School, Bandung. This article aims to reveal the role of the Anak Jalanan At-Tamur Islamic Boarding School in internalizing the values of religious moderation to students. This article uses qualitative research methods that are field research. The research data were obtained from two sources, namely field data sources and library data sources. Data collection techniques used are observation, interviews, and documentaries. The data analysis techniques used are data condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that success in internalizing the values of religious moderation to students could be seen from the indicators or values of religious moderation. The four indicators (values) of religious moderation are reflected in the routine activities and attitudes of students of the Anak Jalanan At-Tamur Islamic Boarding School. Commitment to nationalism, tolerance, anti-radicalism and accommodativeness to local culture is imprinted in the personalities of the students of the Anak Jalanan At-Tamur Islamic Boarding School. This is also due to two things: firstly, interfaith dialogue events are often held and secondly, the leader of the Anak Jalanan At-Tamur Islamic Boarding School who has a broad and open view and emphasizes morality in his education.

THE CONSTRUCTION OF HADITH ADDRESSING GENETIC ENGINEERING OF HUMANS
This paper explores positions of hadith and ethics in discussing the genetic engineering of humans by departing from the following questions: a) how do hadith contribute to constructing various aspects of human genetics? b) how did the social context around Prophet Muhammad affect the construction of the hadith? c) how do hadith addressing human genetics relate to scientific development? This paper reveals that the ethics and process of genetic engineering are prescribed in the hadith, illuminating the contextual debates of its time. Issues of genetics that arise in the discourse of human existence, particularly regarding sex and skin color, show a contestation of values related to the position of genetic factors as undeniable. Scientific development provides answers to the increasingly complex and contestatory discourse on genetics and necessitates a paradigm shift in the Muslim community, which often places hadith as a believed and practiced textual truth

ACHIEVING TRUE HAPPINESS: A STUDY OF MUHAMMAD HOSSEIN TABATABAI’S PHILOSOPHICAL-MYSTICAL THOUGHT
The question of what constitutes true happiness has been a core philosophical issue that has warranted multiple attempts in the attempt to provide a final answer, either from a purely religious or philosophical perspective. The issue of happiness is closely connected to the meaning of life and its ultimate outcome and purpose. The modern Muslim philosopher Muhammad Hossein Tabatabai discussed the nature of happiness at length. In his view, human beings instinctively strive to attain happiness or the ultimate good which can only be achieved through nearness to God. Therefore, true happiness requires the believer to commit righteous deeds and avoid sinful acts. This study follows a philosophical-Sufi approach and uses a descriptive-analytical method to examine the nature of happiness, the relationship between happiness, goodness and pleasure according to Tabatabai. In line with Islamic thought, true and lasting happiness can only be attained in the Hereafter, and happiness in this life, no matter how acutely and deeply felt, is merely a shadow of the true happiness of the believers who have attained God’s permission to enter Paradise.
