Revitalizing reading and writing traditions in pesantren through Surah Al-‘Alaq 1–5
The tradition of reading and writing in Islam is deeply rooted in Surah Al-‘Alaq verses 1–5. These five verses of the Qur’an emphasize the significance of reading as the gateway to knowledge and writing as a medium for sharing it. However, in some pesantren (Islamic boarding schools), the culture of reading has not been fully nurtured, largely due to the dominant emphasis on memorization over critical understanding in the learning process. This reliance on rote learning has gradually marginalized reading and writing practices within pesantren education. This study explores how the values embedded in Surah Al-‘Alaq can be implemented to revive the traditions of reading and writing in pesantren. Using a qualitative approach, the research found that the low reading culture among santri is primarily caused by limited access to diverse reading materials, lack of a supportive environment, and the absence of pedagogical methods that promote active reading. Likewise, the underdeveloped writing culture stems from the lack of structured writing programs and the absence of institutional encouragement for students to produce written works. As a solution, this study proposes the integration of Qur’an-based literacy practices, including providing engaging reading materials, adopting understanding-based teaching strategies, promoting reflective writing practices, and fostering a pesantren environment that supports the growth of reading and writing habits. Keywords: reading tradition; case study; Surah Al-‘Alaq 1–5; revitalization; pesantren

Proposal for the free nutritious meal model with family nutritional food independence (RAPILA) ISTIMEWA
Stunting, as a manifestation of chronic malnutrition during the critical first 1,000 days of life, remains a major public health issue in Indonesia, with significant implications for human capital development and socio-economic progress. National surveys reveal that approximately 24.4% of Indonesian children under five suffer from stunting, indicating persistent inequality in access to nutrition, healthcare, and clean water—especially in underserved rural areas. This condition is exacerbated by extreme poverty, which affects around 9.5% of the population and further restricts families' ability to provide nutrient-rich diets and essential health services. Addressing this dual burden requires a multisectoral approach that promotes food security, maternal and child health, and community-based economic empowerment. This study employs qualitative descriptive methods to analyze the integration of engineering disciplines and village resource optimization in combating stunting and extreme poverty. The proposed solution is a Hexa-Helix model that leverages the synergy of academia, business, community, government, media, and society to implement sustainable interventions. Moreover, this paper presents the Family Nutritious Food Yard Program (RAPILA) as an alternative to free meal distribution, emphasizing household-level nutritional independence through small-scale integrated farming systems equipped with smart technology. Initial surveys show full community willingness to cultivate their own yards for food production, and further development involves modular rack designs supported by IoT features. The results suggest this integrated model is both scalable and adaptable, offering a viable path toward achieving stunting-free, prosperous communities. Keywords: Free nutritious meal; food security; stunting reduction; integrated farming; RAPILA

The influence of sharia compliance awareness on customer loyalty in Islamic banking: The mediating role of service quality
This study aims to analyze the influence of halal certification on the purchase intention of Islamic financial products, with digital platforms serving as a mediating variable. The research employed a quantitative approach using path analysis to examine the direct and indirect relationships among the variables. Data were collected through a questionnaire distributed to 49 respondents. The analysis revealed that halal certification significantly influences digital platforms (p < 0.001), and digital platforms, in turn, significantly affect the intention to purchase Islamic financial products (p < 0.001). However, the direct influence of halal certification on purchase intention was not significant (p = 0.135). Mediation analysis indicated that the influence of halal certification on purchase intention occurs predominantly through an indirect path mediated by digital platforms, contributing 71.8% to the total effect. These findings confirm the central role of digital platforms in bridging the influence of halal certification on purchase intentions. This study underscores the importance of strengthening digital strategies in marketing Islamic financial products. The integration of halal certification with effective digital platforms can enhance consumer trust and experience, ultimately encouraging purchase intention. This research contributes to the development of Islamic marketing literature and provides practical guidance for the Islamic finance industry in optimizing digital technologies. Keywords: halal certification; digital platform; purchase intention; Islamic finance; mediation

Science literacy through the Tadabbur Alam approach: Exploring Qur’anic values in nature-based elementary schools
This article discusses the integration of science literacy and the Tadabbur Alam (nature contemplation) approach at Sekolah Dasar Alam Ungaran (SAUNG), aiming to explore educational values contained in the Qur'an through science literacy. Science literacy is deemed essential in preparing students for global challenges and provides a foundation for understanding scientific phenomena. This explanatory qualitative study employed observation, interviews, and document analysis, analyzed using NVivo software. The findings suggest that science literacy can be understood through three interrelated aspects: context, content, and process, which collectively enhance students’ comprehension of environmental issues and their responsibilities as khalīfah on earth. In the context aspect, students are encouraged to apply scientific knowledge in daily life and engage with environmental issues. The content aspect includes understanding scientific phenomena linked with moral and ethical values derived from the Qur'an. Meanwhile, the process aspect fosters critical thinking and reflection, where students are guided to contemplate creation and observe nature firsthand. Therefore, integrating science literacy and Tadabbur Alam is expected to nurture environmentally responsible character while internalizing Qur’anic values in daily life. The relevance of science literacy in the context of Qur’anic contemplation is reinforced through contemporary interpretations of Surah al-An‘ām (6:38) in Tafsīr al-Munīr and al-Miṣbāḥ, which highlight ecological interdependence and human responsibility as khalīfah, as well as Surah al-Baqarah (2:164), which invites reflection upon natural phenomena as signs of Allah’s greatness.

Exploring the Relationship of the Qur'an, Hadith, and Gender Determination
This review explores the intersection between the Glorious Qur’an and Hadith with contemporary scientific research on pH-based gender determination. The investigation begins by examining the physiological roles of pH levels in female reproductive organs and semen, particularly how these conditions affect sperm viability and motility. Studies show that the vaginal environment can favor either X- or Y-bearing sperm, influencing the likelihood of conceiving a male or female child. Y-bearing sperm are reported to have higher forward velocity but greater sensitivity to environmental changes compared to X-bearing sperm. Research also indicates that acidic conditions, high temperatures, or elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) may increase the prevalence of X-bearing sperm. This review synthesizes these findings and connects them to relevant passages from the Qur’an and Hadith, aiming to foster interdisciplinary discourse between faith and science on the mechanisms of sex determination. Ultimately, the study suggests that pH-based approaches may have potential applications in reproductive planning and highlights the importance of further research in this field.

Implementing these strategies can optimize fund utilization in accordance with Islamic principles and enhance the mosque’s role in both religious and community empowerment. Employing a qualitative approach with thematic analysis, this study uses primary Qur’anic sources pertinent to infaq and property governance. Effective infaq management must uphold the values of justice, transparency, and benefit orientation (maṣlaḥah). The Qur’ān also promotes public participation and enhancement of social value in fund utilization. A key challenge remains the limited managerial capacity and technological skills of mosque administrators, indicating a need for capacity building and professional development to ensure more beneficial, well-governed mosque fund management.

Evaluation of Islamic education using the Qur’anic approach at SMK 45 Surakarta
Evaluation is a comprehensive activity involving the collection, processing, interpretation, and analysis of data and information to inform decision-making. In the educational context, it measures the extent to which established goals are achieved. Unfortunately, many teachers only conduct evaluations at specific moments—such as the end of a unit or semester—resulting in a limited understanding of students’ development. In Islamic education, the Qur’an offers principles relevant to evaluation, through terms such as al-balā’, al-ḥukm, al-qaḍā’, and al-naẓr, which though not directly defined as “evaluation,” carry conceptual implications. This study uses a qualitative literature review approach to explore these Qur’anic concepts and their relevance to evaluation practices in Islamic Religious Education (PAI). The study concludes that integrating Qur’anic perspectives in educational evaluation provides a meaningful framework that supports educators in monitoring and guiding student development more holistically, encompassing cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. The insights gained aim to offer practical guidance for educators, particularly in religious schools like SMK 45 Surakarta, to enhance their understanding and execution of effective evaluation processes in Islamic education.

Ideal Teacher in the Qur’an: A Study on Educators’ Roles and Characteristics
Teachers hold a central role in the Islamic education system—not only as transmitters of knowledge but also as moral guides and role models for students. This study aims to explore the concept of the ideal teacher from the Qur’anic perspective using a literature review approach. The analysis focuses on Qur’anic verses that discuss educators’ roles and characteristics, including QS. Al-Baqarah (2:151), QS. An-Naḥl (16:125), QS. Al-Mujādilah (58:11), and QS. Al-Aḥzāb (33:21). The findings reveal that the ideal teacher in the Qur’an embodies several core traits: possessing and continually seeking knowledge, displaying noble character, teaching with wisdom and patience, and serving as a role model for students. The primary function of teachers in Islam encompasses gradual knowledge delivery, moral guidance for personality development, and motivation for students’ potential growth. Moreover, the Qur’anic model of the ideal teacher remains relevant for today’s educational systems, particularly in enhancing learning effectiveness and character formation. The study concludes that Qur’an-based educational values offer a viable solution to improving teacher quality and the learning process. Therefore, integrating the concept of the ideal teacher from the Qur’an into Islamic education curricula and teacher training programs is essential for implementing wisdom- and example-based teaching methods.
