2026-01-14T11:19:53+07:00

Early character education is crucial, especially during a child's golden age (0–6 years). Due to challenges like moral decline and negative environmental factors, Early Childhood Education (PAUD) institutions need programs that are structured and continuous. This study aims to analyze how principals manage the Seven Habits of Great Indonesian Children (G7KAIH) program using the POAC cycle (Plan- Organizing-Actuating-Controlling) to create a strong character culture within the school. The Seven Habits Program covers seven main habits: waking up early, worshiping, exercising, eating healthy food, loving to learn, interacting socially, and sleeping early. The goal is to develop highly capable individuals with strong character. We used a descriptive qualitative approach for this research at PAUD TK Aisyiyah 1 Rancaekek, which has run The Seven Habits Program since 2023. The result show that implementing The Seven Habits Program positively affects students’ character, increasing their independence, discipline, and social care. The main analysis will focus on how the principal's planning, execution, evaluation, and follow-up successfully integrate The Seven Habits Program systematically and fully into the school environment

Analysis of the Existence of Traditional Markets Under the Threat of Modern Market Advances

2026-01-15T13:02:31+07:00

This research aims to analyze the existence of traditional markets under the threat of modern market advancement, with a case study conducted at Tempurung Market, Kinali District, West Pasaman Regency. The phenomenon observed is the rapid development of modern markets such as minimarkets and supermarkets around the Kinali area, which potentially reduces the competitiveness and public interest in traditional markets. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, employing observation, interview, and documentation techniques involving traders, buyers, and market managers. The results indicate that although the presence of modern markets has led to a decline in the number of buyers and income for some traders at Tempurung Market, traditional markets still maintain their distinctive appeal. The main factors sustaining their existence include more affordable prices, the bargaining system, close social relationships between traders and buyers, and the availability of fresh local products. Furthermore, most lower- and middle-income communities continue to rely on traditional markets as their primary place to meet daily needs. However, challenges such as limited facilities and infrastructure, suboptimal cleanliness, and minimal support from local governments in market revitalization remain significant issues. Therefore, greater government attention is needed, including infrastructure improvements, trader training, and the formulation of regulations that support traditional markets so that they can survive amid modern market competition.

Hadith About Al-Samahah in Mu'amalah: A Thematic Study of the Book Riyad Al-Salihin

2026-01-30T10:46:01+07:00

Al-samahah (broad-heartedness and ease) in the context of muʿamalah (socio-economic transactions). Amidst contemporary economic practices that are often rigid and exploitative, the value of al-samahah becomes a fundamental ethic that is important to review. This study aims to analyze the understanding and application of al-samahah hadiths in muʿamalah sourced from the book Riyad al-salihin by Imam al-Nawawi. This type of research is library research with a thematic approach (maudhu’i). Primary data was obtained from the book Riyad al-salihin by Imam Nawawi, while secondary data came from books, journals, and other literature that support thematic hadith studies. This research was conducted through the stages of collecting hadiths with the theme of al-samahah, takhrij, and analysis of syarah to obtain a complete understanding. The results of the study show that al-samahah in Riyad al-salihin is a comprehensive spectrum of muʿamalah ethics. These values include: (1) Husn al-Qada' (debtor's professionalism in paying); (2) Samhan attitude (easy and spacious) in the three pillars of transactions: selling, buying, and collecting; (3) Tanfīs (giving grace/restructuring) and Wad' (giving relief/discounts) for those in difficulty; and (4) Al-Tajawuz (clearing debt) as the peak of the creditor's ihsan. This study concludes that these values have highly relevant applications in addressing contemporary muʿamalah challenges, such as in e-commerce ethics, humane fintech collection practices, and debt restructuring policies in financial institutions.

Problems Memorizing Al-Qur'an Verses For Islamic Religious Education Students Uin Sjech M. Djamil Djambek Bukittinggi

2026-01-30T10:48:52+07:00

This research is motivated by the fact that the Al-Quran memorization program that has been set as one of the academic requirements at UIN Sjech M. Djamil Djambek Bukittinggi has not been optimally implemented. Although the program has been set to encourage students to memorize the Al-Quran, in reality there are still many students who experience obstacles in the process, both in terms of technical and non-technical abilities. This study aims to identify the forms of problems faced by students in memorizing the verses of the Al-Quran, especially for PAI students of the 2021 batch. This study uses a qualitative approach with field research. Data collection techniques were conducted through in-depth interviews and documentation. The main informants in this study were 2021 PAI students in their eighth semester who had problems memorizing verses from the Qur'an, as well as academic advisors as supporting informants. Data analysis techniques included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study found that the problems faced by students in memorizing the Qur'an can be divided into two factors, namely internal and external factors. Internal factors include a lack of mastery of makhrijul huruf and tajwid, impatience, dishonesty, lack of sincere intention, excessive ambition to add new memorizations, and laziness in muraja'ah. Meanwhile, external factors include changing mushafs, an unsupportive environment, and being distracted by other things outside of memorization activities.
