This article discusses Islam and Halal products. Specifically, this article highlights a number of commercial advertisements for halal products that use religious norms as branding in Indonesia. The ad is seen as commodification of religion and consolidation of religious identity, as well as showing the lifestyle of middle-class Muslims. This article also explores the perceptions of young rural Muslim women who are members of the Parit Baru Village Mosque Youth Association regarding Islamic phenomena and halal products. Methodologically, this article is descriptive qualitative research. The data in this study were obtained from the field through direct interviews with a number of Muslim women at the Parit Baru Village Mosque, and also from searching data by collecting various related literature, books, magazines, and data available on the internet, as well as participating in a number of activities in online space such as watching live streaming, online videos and other data related to this research. The results of the study show that Islam is a broad religion, marked by Islamic attention and regulations regarding halal products for consumption by Muslims in their daily lives, which is also an aspect of Islamic teachings. This article also concludes that advertisements for halal products in Indonesia use religious norms as branding to gain profit on the one hand, and indirectly educate middle-class Muslims, especially women, to maintain the use of the hijab as a form of representation of religious identity on the other hand. This can be seen as a form of consolidation of religious identity on the one hand and the commodification of religion on the other.Keywords: Islam, Halal Products, Commodification of Religion, Religious Identit
Correlation Between Arabic Vocabulary Mastery and Arabic Speaking Ability
In the era of globalization that continues to grow rapidly, mastery of foreign languages is one of the important skills needed in various aspects of life, both in the context of education, work, and social interaction, especially Arabic, but this is not accompanied by good vocabulary mastery to support speaking skills. Thus, the purpose of this study is to determine the correlation or relationship between Arabic vocabulary mastery and Arabic speaking skills. The research method used in this study is a quantitative research method with a population of approximately 75 students and a sample of 30 students. The results of this study indicate that there is a negative and significant relationship between Arabic Vocabulary Mastery and Arabic Speaking Skills with a sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.023, because the sig. (2-tailed) <0.05 means that there is a significant relationship between variable X and variable Y and the r value = 0.413 with a p value <0.05 that there is a correlation between the two variables, which means that the higher the Arabic Vocabulary Mastery, the lower the Arabic Speaking Skills. So it can be concluded that Arabic vocabulary mastery influences Arabic speaking ability

Pembuatan Alat Praktikum Termoskop Menggunakan Teknologi Sederhana Untuk Pembelajaran Fisika Materi Radiasi Kalor
The background of this research is physics is a collection of facts, concepts, laws/principles, formulas and theories, one of which is the concept of heat. Heat is transferred from one place to another in three ways, namely by conduction, convection and radiation. Radiation heat transfer can be taught using practical or demonstration methods using a simple, inexpensive, and easy-to-obtain technology-based thermoscope. The method in this study is an experimental method used to find the effect of certain treatments on others under controlled conditions. The results of making a thermoscope practicum tool are in accordance with the reference, which is to distinguish the color absorption of the material against heat. In the first experiment, a black bulb absorbs heat as much as 45℃ with an absorption rate of 6.92 watts per second and a white bulb absorbs heat up to 34℃ with an absorption rate of 6.68 watts per second. The results showed that black light bulbs absorb heat faster than clear light bulbs.
Penelitian ini dilatar belakangi fisika merupakan sekumpulan fakta, konsep, hukum/prinsip, rumus dan teori, salah satunya adalah konsep kalor. Kalor berpindah dari satu tempat satu ke tempat lainnya melalui tiga cara, yaitu dengan konduksi, konveksi dan radiasi. Perpindahan kalor secara radiasi dapat diajarkan menggunakan metode praktikum atau demonstrasi dengan alat termoskop berbasis teknologi sederhana, murah, dan mudah didapat. Metode dalam penelitian ini adalah metode ekperimen yang digunakan untuk mencari pengaruh perlakuan tertentu terhadap yang lain dalam kondisi yang terkendalikan. Hasil dari pembuatan alat praktikum termoskop sesuai dengan referensi yaitu membedakan daya serap warna bahan terhadap kalor. Pada percobaan pertama bohlam hitam menyerap kalor sebanyak 45℃ dengan laju penyerapan 6,92 watt perdetiknya dan bohlam putih menyerap kalor hingga 34℃ dengan laju penyerapan 6,68 watt perdetik.
