2026-05-11T09:06:46+07:00

This study aims to describe the history, local wisdom values, performance procession, and analyze the status of Bluk Gebluk art as an intangible cultural heritage in Rembang Village, Pasuruan Regency. This research employs a qualitative approach with ethnographic and phenomenological methods. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with five key informants (chairperson of jam’iyah, two active members, religious leader, and representative of Pasuruan Culture and Tourism Agency), and documentation. The findings reveal that Bluk Gebluk was initiated by KH. Zainal Abidin as a medium for Islamic da'wah, developed together with KH. Abdurrasyid, and disseminated by KH. Abdul Hamid before 1924. Since 1950, routine weekly activities have been established and continue to this day. The local wisdom values contained in Bluk Gebluk include religiosity, mutual cooperation (gotong royong), and simplicity. The performance procession involves three functional roles: the main vocalist as spiritual leader, the pillow beater as rhythm keeper, and other members clapping hands as collective participation. Based on UNESCO 2003 criteria and Law Number 5 of 2017 on Cultural Advancement, Bluk Gebluk qualifies as an intangible cultural heritage because it is passed down orally and through direct practice, forms community identity, contains living cultural values, and is still practiced regularly. This study contributes to the documentation and preservation of Nusantara's cultural heritage rich in religious and social meaning.

Transformasi Metode Tahfiz Tradisional Menuju Tahfiz Online: Dinamika Penghafalan Al-Qur’an di Era Digital (Studi Etnografi Virtual pada Komunitas Tahfiz Online di Indonesia)

2026-04-23T13:49:24+07:00

This study aims to analyze the development of Al-Qur'an memorization through online tahfiz programs as a form of Islamic education innovation in the digital era. This phenomenon shows a shift in Al-Qur'an teaching methods from traditional face-to-face systems to digital learning models that are more flexible and adaptive to technological changes. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, participatory observation at online tahfiz institutions, and a literature study on the development of digital Islamic education. Data analysis was carried out using reduction, categorization, and thematic interpretation methods to find patterns and dynamics that occur in online tahfiz practices. The results show that the online tahfiz method has a positive impact on increasing accessibility, time flexibility, and the independence of students in memorizing the Qur'an. However, there are several challenges, such as consistency in memorization, emotional interaction with teachers, and quality control of recitation, which is not as intensive as the face-to-face system, because the memorization submission system has become easier through video calls or voice notes. This phenomenon reflects the transformation of Qur'anic education, which combines traditional values with modern technology.

Problematika Pembelajaran PAI di Madrasah Diniyah Takmiliyah Awaliyah (MDTA) sebagai Fenomena Sosial Keagamaan: Studi Kasus di MDTA Ash-Sholihin Karawang

2026-05-05T09:01:02+07:00

This study aims to analyze the challenges of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) learning at Madrasah Diniyah Takmiliyah Awaliyah (MDTA) as a socio-religious phenomenon. This qualitative case study was conducted at MDTA Ash-Sholihin, Karawang. Data were collected through observation, interviews with the headmaster and a classroom teacher, and documentation. Data analysis employed the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion verification. The findings show that IRE learning challenges are influenced by low student participation and learning interest, psychosocial conditions caused by dual learning systems, limited facilities, teacher competence, community perceptions, and low parental involvement. Teachers addressed these challenges through humanistic approaches, religious habituation, moral guidance, and simple learning innovations. The study indicates that the challenges of IRE learning at MDTA are not merely pedagogical issues but also reflect broader socio-religious dynamics that require synergy between educational institutions, families, and communities. This study contributes to Islamic education studies from a socio-religious perspective and offers practical recommendations for developing more contextual and participatory learning approaches.

2026-05-13T22:00:20+07:00

This study examines the effectiveness of public complaint services through SP4N-LAPOR! in supporting the implementation of good governance in Tanah Datar Regency. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving local government agencies and community members who used the SP4N-LAPOR! service.

Ad-Dakhil Al-Tsaqafi dalam Media Sosial: Kritik Penafsiran Rubūbiyyah dan Fāḥisyah berbasis Aṣīl Al-Tafsīr

2026-05-15T21:35:18+07:00

Qur'anic interpretation in the digital era faces a significant challenge from the infiltration of external cultural elements that may distort the meaning of the sacred text. This study aims to identify forms of ad-dakhīl al-tsaqāfī (cultural infiltration) in the interpretation of the concepts of Rubūbiyyah and Fāḥishah circulating on Indonesian social media. Employing a qualitative approach through digital content analysis, the data were collected from content published on the Instagram account @aguskhoirulhuda and compared with Tafsir al-Jalalain and At-Tahrīr wa At-Tanwīr as benchmarks of aṣīl al-tafsīr (authentic Qur’anic interpretation). The findings reveal two major forms of cultural infiltration. First, the interpretation of Rabb as “rupiah” reflects a materialistic and capitalistic reduction of the concept of Rubūbiyyah. Second, the interpretation of al-fāḥishah is influenced by contemporary sexual identity discourse, thereby obscuring the specific context of the Qur’anic verses. Both interpretations deviate from established principles of Arabic linguistics, asbāb al-nuzūl (occasions of revelation), and the authoritative tradition of Qur’anic exegesis. This study contributes to the development of an aṣīl al-tafsīr-based critical framework as an instrument for standardizing digital Qur’anic literacy and safeguarding the authenticity of the Qur’anic message in contemporary digital spaces.

2026-04-23T13:56:11+07:00

This study evaluates the acceptance of the iSumbar Mambaco application in West Sumatra Province by focusing on two main variables: Perceived Usefulness (PU) and Perceived Ease of Use (PEU), as well as their influence on Intention to Use (IU) and User Behavior (UB). The study employed a descriptive quantitative approach. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 90 respondents selected using the Simple Random Sampling technique and analyzed using SPSS version 25. The descriptive analysis shows that the mean scores for PU and PEU are 3.24, categorized as good, while IU and UB have a mean score of 3.14, also categorized as good. The Pearson Product Moment correlation test indicates a very strong and positive relationship between PU and IU (0.810) and between PEU and IU (0.815). In addition, strong positive correlations are found between PU and UB (0.755) and PEU and UB (0.795). Multiple linear regression analysis reveals that PU and PEU significantly influence IU with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.687 and UB with an R² of 0.635. These findings indicate that PU and PEU simultaneously explain more than 60% of the variance in IU and UB. Therefore, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use play an important role in enhancing users’ intention and behavior in utilizing the iSumbar Mambaco application as a digital information access platform.
