Integration of Religious and General Sciences in Modern Education
The main problem is the suboptimal integration of knowledge in educational institutions due to a dualistic curriculum, conventional learning approaches, and the low competence of teachers in linking religious values with knowledge, thereby hindering the realization of education. This study aims to examine the concept and implementation of the integration of religious and general sciences in modern education as an effort to shape students with a balance between intellectual and spiritual intelligence. Integration of sciences is crucial in addressing the challenges of education in the global era, which tends to separate religious values from science. This study employed a literature review method by examining various relevant literature sources, such as books, scientific journals, and other supporting documents. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and qualitatively through the processes of reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results indicate that the integration of religious and general sciences can be realized through values-based curriculum planning, contextual and reflective learning implementation, the use of varied learning methods, and strengthening a religious school culture. Furthermore, the role of teachers as facilitators and role models, along with the support of school policies, are important factors in the successful implementation of science integration. Thus, the integration of religious and general sciences is a strategic approach in creating a holistic education oriented toward character building. This research is expected to contribute to the development of Islamic education that is relevant to the needs of the times.

Efforts to Overcome the Moral Crisis of the Young Generation Through Islamic Education
The moral crisis affecting today's young generation is a serious challenge that requires special attention from various parties, especially educational institutions. Islamic education plays a strategic role in shaping the character and morals of students through the instilling of values of faith, morality, and spirituality. This study aims to examine effective strategies for optimizing the role of Islamic education in addressing the moral crisis of the younger generation. The method used is a literature study by analyzing various relevant literature, including books, scientific journals, and other supporting sources. The results of the study indicate several key strategies that can be implemented, namely the integration of Islamic values into the curriculum, strengthening teacher role models, fostering religious activities, collaboration between schools, families, and the community, utilizing Islamic-based digital technology, and developing Islamic-based character education programs. These strategies have been proven to balance the cognitive, affective, and spiritual aspects of students. Thus, Islamic education functions not only as a transfer of knowledge but also as a means of sustainable character development. Therefore, the implementation of appropriate and consistent strategies is essential to creating a young generation with noble character and competitiveness in the modern era.
Hadith and Social Media: Challenges in Disseminating Religious Information in the Digital Era
This study discusses the dissemination of hadith on social media and its implications for the religious understanding of Muslims in the digital era. The background of this research stems from the massive phenomenon of hadith distribution through various social media platforms, which is not always accompanied by a process of scientific verification. The aim of this study is to analyze the forms of hadith dissemination on social media and examine its impact on the religious understanding of Muslims. This study uses a qualitative approach with a library research method sourced from books, scientific journals, hadith collections, and relevant digital literature. The data are analyzed using content analysis techniques to identify the patterns, forms, and implications of hadith dissemination in digital spaces. Research results show that the spread of hadith on social media occurs in various forms, such as visual content, chain messages, short videos, digital dawah accounts, content reposts, integration into motivational content, as well as support from social media algorithms. The implications of this phenomenon include the expansion of access to religious information, increased risk of misinformation, a shift in scholarly authority, the strengthening of digital literacy, and the simplification of hadith understanding. This study confirms that social media has a dual role as an effective means of dawah while also being a potential source of distortion in religious understanding if not accompanied by adequate scientific verification. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance digital religious literacy and the active involvement of Islamic scholarly authorities in managing the spread of hadith in the digital era.
Integration of Tawheed Values in the School Curriculum from Perspective QS Adz-Dzariyat 56
This study aims to examine the integration of monotheistic values in the school curriculum based on the perspective of QS. Adz-Dzariyat verse 56 as the philosophical foundation of Islamic education. The background of this study is based on the tendency of separation between general knowledge and spiritual values in educational practice, so that an integrative approach is needed that can unite the two. This study uses a qualitative approach with a type of library research that analyzes various literature related to Islamic education management, curriculum, and interpretation of relevant Quranic verses. The results of the study indicate that monotheistic values can be integrated into the curriculum through various subjects such as science, mathematics, language, and social sciences with a contextual and reflective approach. In addition, the role of teachers as role models and facilitators and the support of a religious school environment are important factors in the process of internalizing monotheistic values to students. This integration does not only focus on the cognitive aspect, but also includes the formation of character and spiritual awareness of students. Thus, monotheistic-based education can produce students who have a balance between intellectual intelligence and the strength of faith. This research is expected to contribute to the development of a more holistic Islamic education curriculum and one that is oriented towards the formation of perfect human beings.
Preserving Rebana Art as an Islamic Cultural Heritage in Schools
The interest of the younger generation in rebana is declining due to popular culture, lack of school support, and competent instructors. This study aims to analyze the role of schools and teachers in preserving the art of rebana as an Islamic cultural heritage in educational environments, particularly at MI Islamiyah Mayanggeneng. The background of this study is based on the decreasing interest of the younger generation in traditional arts due to the influence of modern culture, so that strategic efforts are needed to maintain the sustainability of rebana art. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive type, with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects included the principal , supervising teachers, and students involved in rebana activities. The results show that the preservation of rebana art is carried out through various forms of activities, such as extracurricular activities, integration into learning, religious activities, as well as competitions and art performances. In addition, the role of schools as providers of programs and policies, and teachers as mentors, role models, and innovators, greatly determine the success of rebana art preservation. Supporting factors include school policy support and student enthusiasm, while inhibiting factors include limited facilities and a lack of professional trainers. Thus, the preservation of rebana art in schools can be effective if supported by synergy between policies, implementation, and the educational environment. This research is expected to contribute to the development of education based on Islamic culture and values.
