Comparative Analysis of Religious Moderation in Islamic and Western Perspectives
This article systematically examines the similarities and differences in the concept of religious moderation from Islamic and Western perspectives using a qualitative library research approach based on books, scholarly articles, research reports, and relevant academic journals. The comparative analysis highlights that both traditions reject extremism and violence while emphasizing tolerance and respect for diversity. In Islam, religious moderation is grounded in the principle of wasathiyah, which promotes balance, justice, tolerance, deliberation, and peace as integral values derived from the Qur’an and Sunnah. In contrast, Western religious moderation has evolved through long historical processes, including intra-church conflicts, the Reformation, the Enlightenment, and the development of moderate secularism, and is primarily based on rationality, democratic practices, pluralistic values, and the protection of human rights. Within the Indonesian context, these two perspectives are conceptually integrated through Pancasila, which serves as the philosophical foundation of social and state life, thereby reinforcing religious moderation as a shared framework for maintaining harmony in a pluralistic society

Penilaian Akhlak Siswa oleh Guru Pendidikan Agama Islam: Analisis Objektivitas dan Subjektivitas
Moral education is a core component of the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) curriculum, functioning to shape students’ character in accordance with Islamic values. However, the assessment process of moral behavior often faces a dilemma between objectivity (evaluation based on standardized criteria) and subjectivity (evaluation influenced by teachers’ personal perceptions). This study aims to analyze the epistemology of moral assessment conducted by Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers, focusing on the balance between objectivity and subjectivity as well as its implications for character formation. Using a qualitative method with a field study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with four Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers, participant observation, and classroom documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The findings indicate that objective assessment is based on curriculum indicators such as honesty and discipline in worship, while subjectivity arises from teachers’ personal perceptions and experiences of students. Approximately 80% of the field data reveal a dominance of subjective assessment, particularly toward students with disciplinary issues. This condition creates potential bias and reduces fairness in evaluation. Therefore, teacher training and the development of standardized assessment rubrics are needed to make the moral evaluation process more measurable, fair, and effective in shaping students’ character in the digital era.

Pendidikan Islam dalam Peningkakan Kualitas Sumber Daya Manusia Indonesia
This study explores the role of Islamic education strategies in enhancing the quality of human resources in the modern era. Humans are regarded as unique beings endowed with the potential to develop holistically spiritually, intellectually, and physically. Islamic education addresses this through two interconnected strategic models: macro and micro strategies. The macro strategy involves systemic efforts, including three core components: (1) the ultimate goal of Islamic education, which is to form pious individuals and a righteous society; (2) the foundational principles that guide the development of a curriculum rooted in Islamic values; and (3) policy priorities such as ensuring equal access to education for all children, diversifying educational pathways, reviewing and improving educational materials and methods, reinforcing religious education, strengthening educational administration and planning, and fostering regional and international cooperation among Islamic nations. The micro strategy, on the other hand, centers on tazkiyah al-nafs (purification of the soul), which aims to nurture personal discipline and moral character. This process cultivates inner balance by aligning the soul, mind, and body, ultimately fostering ethical awareness, resilience, and self-regulation. Together, these strategies form a holistic framework that equips individuals not only with knowledge and technical skills but also with strong moral and spiritual foundations. In the face of modern challenges—ranging from ethical dilemmas to rapid technological changes—Islamic education offers an integrative approach to developing high-quality human resources who are intellectually competent, morally upright, and spiritually grounded.
The Application of the Gallery Walk Method in Increasing Student Activity in Islamic Education Learning
This study was motivated by the low level of student engagement in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) among eighth-grade. Observations and interviews with school personnel revealed that many students tended to be passive during learning activities, mainly due to the use of conventional, teacher-centered methods that did not actively involve students.

Edukasi Anak dalam Perspektif Surat Luqman Ayat 12–13
Children's education in Islam is a fundamental aspect that plays a strategic role in shaping the character and morality of the younger generation, directly impacting the development of a civilized and religious society. Surah Luqman verses 12–13 provide essential guidance on core principles of Islamic education rooted in values of monotheism and ethics. This study is motivated by the need for an educational model that integrates spiritual values and addresses current educational challenges. The objective of this study is to examine the concept of children's education as presented in these two verses of the Qur'an. This research adopts a qualitative approach using content analysis. The findings indicate that monotheism (tauhid) serves as the foundational basis for character formation, as emphasized in Luqman’s warning against associating partners with God (shirk). Other key values, such as gratitude and moral behavior, also contribute to building an Islamic character. The contribution of this study lies in enriching Islamic educational literature and providing a conceptual framework for parents and educators to instill noble values from an early age.
