Towards a Deeper Understanding of Family Influence in the Guidance of Moroccan Muslim Students: Development and Validation of Specific Scales for Successful Guidance

In Moroccan Muslim societies, where collectivist and Islamic values shape familial roles, parental practices and family social-financial capital play a pivotal role in students’ career trajectories. However, existing measures rarely capture these intertwined dimensions within this specific socio-cultural framework. This study addresses this gap by conducting two independent studies to develop and validate two scales: the Scale of Parental Practices in Educational and Vocational Guidance (PPEVG) and the Family Social Financial Capital Scope (FSFC). The first study involved 324 Muslim high school students (55% girls) aged 17–18, enrolled in the final year of baccalaureate programs across various academic tracks, from six Moroccan regions, to validate the PPEVG. The second study included 340 Muslim students (62% girls) with the same characteristics to validate the FSFC. Both studies employed multistage cluster sampling. Exploratory (KMO=0.776 and 0.722) and confirmatory factor analyses confirmed the robustness of both scales, with McDonald’s omega coefficients ranging from 0.729 to 0.785. Findings from the PPEVG showed that supportive parental practices (M=16.4) were more prevalent than interfering ones (M=12.9), with a moderate correlation (r=0.36) suggesting that parents may exhibit both behaviors. Parental education significantly influenced practices: higher paternal education correlated with stronger support, while lower maternal education increased interference. FSFC scores highlighted the critical role of socio-financial resources in enabling students' mobility beyond their home region. These findings offer culturally tailored tools for counsellors and actionable insights for policymakers to design inclusive guidance frameworks and address socio-economic disparities in collectivist contexts

School Climate and Academic Hardiness on Students’ Subjective Well-Being in Boarding School with Student Engagement as Mediator

Students in boarding schools face additional pressures due to dual curriculum, high cognitive load, personal problems such as family homesickness, feelings of not belonging, and poor sleep patterns that compound worsening student well-being. This study examines the relationship between school climate and academic hardiness with student subjective well-being, with the mediation of student engagement among students in boarding schools. Data were collected using the Student Subjective Wellbeing Questionnaire (SSWQ; CR=0.941), School Climate Scale (SCR; CR=0.895), The Academic Hardiness Scale (AHS; CR=0.921), and Student Engagement Scale (SES; CR=0.902). A total of 519 junior and senior high school students who participated in Islamic boarding school programs in Banyumas Regency, Central Java, Indonesia, were involved in the study. The data were analysed using AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structures) software to conduct structural model analysis and hypothesis validation, to evaluate the relationship between variables. The results indicated that student engagement mediates school climate and student subjective well-being. Student engagement also mediates the relationship between academic hardiness and student subjective well-being. Students in boarding schools suggested to have a positive perception of the school environment and academic hardiness in facing academic problems and challenges to achieve well-being while living in the dormitory

Insights Beyond the Revolution of Iran: A Review of Moral and Philosophical Values in the Political Realm of Imam Ayatollah Khomeini

The Islamic Revolution in Iran serves as a notable example of the erosion of moral values and political ethics. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of Imam Khomeini's concept of Wilāyah al-Faqīh in relation to the moral philosophy that underpins a nation. The research primarily employs library sources and utilizes a descriptive analysis method. The primary data consists of Imam Khomeini's thoughts on Wilāyah al-Faqīh, as articulated in his work Hukumat-e Islami: Velayat-e Faqih. Secondary data is drawn from his other writings, such as Islam and Revolution: Islamic Government along with additional relevant literature. The data collection process involves several steps: identifying literature that discusses Imam Khomeini's thought, reading and concentrating on his ideas, noting key points, and seeking other pertinent references. The data analysis employs content analysis and hermeneutic models, which are conducted in three main stages: data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings of this research uncover a profound relationship between Islamic political ethics and Imam Khomeini's concept of Wilāyah al-Faqīh. In a government based on Wilāyah al-Faqīh, there is no separation between religion and politics, as both realms share the common objective of establishing a just society rooted in God's law. For Imam Khomeini, politics is an extension of ethics, whereby ethics encompasses both individual conduct and social responsibilities

Classification of Risk and Protective Factors for Students' Mental Health Using Data Mining Techniques

Mental health issues affecting university students, particularly first-year students, are increasingly concerning, with many experiencing anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. Globally, approximately one in three first-year students faces these challenges. In the U.S., 22% of students receive psychiatric treatment, while in Indonesia, 10% of youth aged 15-24 report psychological problems, with suicide rates on the rise. These disorders negatively impact academic performance, emotional well-being, and social interactions, with contributing factors such as lifestyle, genetics, and gender. Unhealthy habits heighten the risk, while regular physical activity and engagement in hobbies act as protective factors. This research aims to analyze the risk factors and mental health protection of students using a data mining approach. With classification techniques, this research is expected to provide a holistic understanding of the risk factors causing mental health disorders among students and to identify the protective factors. Based on responses from 1,039 students across 15 districts in Lampung Province, the analysis identifies key risk factors including academic pressure, poor time management, heavy workloads, and lack of social support. Protective factors identified include spending time in nature, ensuring sufficient sleep, and balanced participation in student organizations. Findings suggest that universities should implement targeted mental health interventions, provide counseling services, offer workshops and peer support groups, and create a supportive, green campus environment to enhance student well-being and mitigate stress

The Formation Process of Arabic Slang in Modern Islamic Boarding Schools

Slang is a linguistic phenomenon that is closely related to the creativity of young people in language, the more difficult it is created, the more secret the communication used. Slang often appears in a large group to small groups, no exception in a group of young people in Islamic educational institutions that use Arabic as the language of instruction in everyday life, of course this is a major influence on the emergence of slang among students. This study aims to describe the process of Arabic slang word formation found in speakers in modern Islamic boarding schools and explore the function of Arabic slang in the pesantren environment. This research uses a qualitative approach with data collection methods through interviews and direct observations of santri who are designated as informants. The informants used in this study have specific requirements such as: 1) Is a student at the Modern Islamic Boarding School, 2) The source of research data is daily speech used by students in modern Islamic boarding schools, while the specific data is in the form of words. Data analysis is done through three stages, namely: (1) data reduction, (2) data classification and presentation, and (3) conclusion drawing. The results of the analysis are presented using informal and formal methods. The results show that Arabic slang words used by modern boarding school students include ordinary slang, acronyms, and abbreviations, with the formation process in the form of phoneme deletion, syllable deletion, phoneme addition, reversal, and deletion. These slang words function to facilitate pronunciation, express curses, express emotions such as anger, confusion, and surprise. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the formation process of Arabic slang in modern Islamic boarding schools, contributing to the understanding of linguistic creativity among youth in educational settings. The study is limited to a specific demographic (students aged 13-17 in modern Islamic boarding schools), which may not represent the broader Arabic-speaking youth population. For future researchers, it is hoped that they can find new slangs in other educational institutions, so that there are many variations of linguistic phenomena that can be studied and can be learned by the general public, so as to reduce misunderstandings of communication between teenagers in modern boarding schools and the community

Reformulation of Mu'tazilah Theology and the Birth of al-Ash'ariyah Theology as Moderate Islamic Understanding

The turmoil between Mu'tazilah and al-Ash'ari refers to a significant difference in the views of Kalam. The theological reformulation from Mu'tazilah to al-Ash'ari carried out by Abu Hasan al-Ash'ari combined the textualist methods of the Salaf with the rationalist Mu'tazilah, known as the moderate Islamic school. This research focuses on the conflict and values ​​that were reformulated based on the history and shifts in thought between Mu'tazilah and al-Ash'ari. Therefore, this study aims to provide an overview of the initial values ​​of Mu'tazilah thought and the shifts that occurred after al-Ash`ari reformulated the thought. This study uses a qualitative research method by looking at various written sources. So, the reference source for this study is the literature. Data collection techniques through documentation were then analyzed using the descriptive analysis method. The interpretation method is used to analyze the data. This aims to interpret the object of understanding according to the way the researcher understands it. The results of this study explain the reformulation of Mu'tazilah ideas to al-Ash`ari related to the main points of God's Recognition, human free will, and God's justice, as well as the role of reason and revelation, which are too dominant in the use of rationality. In Indonesia, this reformulation is known as Moderate Islam with various practices internalized in Indonesian culture, such as a friendly attitude towards others, maintaining peace, and the ability to accept and handle differences

At-Ṭāhlīl ās-Shārfy līī āl-Kālīmāt āl-Mustā'ārāh mīn āl-'Arābīyyāh īlā āl-Indunīsīyyāh fīī āl-Kutub ād-Dirosiyyāh āl-'Arābīyyāh bīī āl-Mādrāsāh āl-Islāmīyyāh

Arabic textbooks in Islamic schools contain many loanwords from Arabic into Indonesian, which facilitate students’ language acquisition due to their similarity and ease of memorization. Vocabulary mastery is crucial, as its deficiency often poses challenges in learning Arabic. This study analyzes the root words of loanwords and their absorption process in Arabic textbooks. Using a qualitative literature review approach, data were collected through document analysis and examined using content analysis. The findings reveal that most loanwords follow a triliteral root pattern 126 words, followed by triliteral roots with one additional letter 16 words, two additional letters 4 words, and quadriliteral roots 3 words. The absorption process occurs through direct adoption, phonological adaptation, and morphological adaptation. This study contributes to the development of more effective vocabulary teaching methods for Arabic learning. However, it is limited to Arabic textbooks published by the Ministry of Religious Affairs, excluding those from private publishers. Future research is recommended to explore loanwords in Arabic textbooks from private publishers to understand variations in absorption processes and root words, as well as to assess the effectiveness of loanword-based teaching methods in enhancing students’ Arabic vocabulary mastery

Konsep Ketuhanan dalam Al-Qur'an: Relevansinya terhadap Tantangan Sekularisme, Nihilisme, dan Relativisme Keagamaan

The Qur'an differentiates between the term "God," which can refer to idols, deities, or desires, and the name "Allah," which uniquely denotes the Almighty Creator. Unlike "God," the name "Allah" signifies an exclusive and supreme title that belongs solely to Him, as only Allah possesses the attributes of absolute existence, perfection, and majesty. This study aims to analyze the historical origins of the name "Allah," its contextual use in the Qur'an, and its role in affirming the monotheistic belief in Islam. The research employs a historical and textual interpretative approach to uncover the progression of the term "Allah" from its early linguistic roots to its Qur'anic application. The findings reveal that the Qur'an systematically elevates and purifies the term "Allah," restoring it to its rightful monotheistic dimension, distinct from other conceptualizations of divinity. This underscores the Qur'anic assertion that Allah is the One and Only God, without equal and transcendent above all
