Developing Arabic Media Based on Brain-Based Learning: Improving Mufrodat in School

Education in the era of transformation affects the development of science and technology since teachers are directed to be innovative in language teaching. This study aimed to develop Arabic language media based on brain-based learning for SMK (Vocational High School) Muhammadiyah 3 Yogyakarta during the Covid-19 period. This study employed Research and Development (R and D)method with the development model proposed by Borg and Gall. The research subjects consisted of ten students and three teachers. Research data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation techniques. The researchers implemented the data analysis technique by Miles and Huberman. Furthermore, the researchers ensure the data validity by triangulation. The analysis indicated that the Arabic language media was feasible to be used. The validity had been tested by two material experts and two media experts. Material expert 1 gave an average score of 4.27, and material expert 2 gave an average score of 4.81, both within the high category. On the other hand, media expert 1 gave an average score of 4.42, and media expert 2 gave an average score of 3.71, both within the high category. Also, the product had been tested on ten students during the small-scale trial and the large-scale trial. According to material experts' validation, the weakness of the product was related to the title of the material and the duration. Therefore, the developed media could increase mufrodat mastery in the industrial 4.0 era

TRENDING HOT ISSUE KESETARAAN GENDER DALAM SHALAT: ANALISIS KONSTRUKSI PEMIKIRAN AMINA WADUD TERHADAP PERAN PEREMPUAN SEBAGAI IMAM SHALAT

The controversial phenomenon of women leading prayer, spearheaded by Amina Wadud, has shaken and stirred discussions among Muslims worldwide. This phenomenon emerged as an effort to achieve gender equality in the context of worship, including salah (prayer). Critiques of gender biases within the texts of the Qur'an and Hadith are also entwined with the concept of ubudiyah (worship), especially in the context of salah. This research aims to analyze the conceptual framework of Amina Wadud's thoughts in advocating for gender parity, particularly concerning the ability of women to lead salah. The research employs a qualitative approach using the systematic review method. Data is gathered from reputable journals, relevant books, turos, tafsir, and reliable online sources. Primary data is reinforced with the literature from books and kitab, while secondary data is collected through screening credible journals. Data analysis is conducted using content analysis and triangulation techniques. The findings reveal that Amina Wadud offers a tafsir tauhid method that proclaims women can legitimately lead salah since there is no verse explicitly prohibiting women from becoming imams. The implications of this research lie in the focus on implementing and interpreting gender equality within Islamic studies, ushuluddin, and hadith exegesis. Amina Wadud's ideas, as a contemporary Muslim female scholar, advocate for gender equality with compelling arguments that assert women's right and capability to lead salah, supported by a strong Islamic scholarly foundation

Pergulatan Sejarah dan Isu-Isu Kontemporer dalam Wacana Otoritas Hadits

The realm of hadith has evolved and expanded to encompass not only the term "hadith" but also "sunnah," "khabar," and "atsar." These four terms, while sharing some similarities, also hold distinct meanings. It is crucial to clarify their significance within each context to avoid confusion and misinterpretation. Hadith, as a concept, contains al-Khabar (information) derived from the al-Kalam (sayings) of the Prophet, which is jadid (new) when compared to al-Kalam of Allah (the Quran). On the other hand, "sunnah" denotes the way, method, or path. Originally, it referred to the path established and followed by previous generations, becoming a guiding route for those who follow. Scholars from different disciplines define hadith in alignment with their specific scientific fields. For instance, Ushul fiqh experts identify sunnah as everything derived from the Prophet (apart from the Quran), including words, deeds, and provisions that serve as justifications for Syara` law. Reviewing hadith and its miraculous aspects becomes essential to counter erroneous perceptions and logically demonstrate its miracles. In the contemporary era, the study of hadith and sunnah not only emphasizes the quality of narrators but also the quantity to foster a comprehensive understanding. This abstract seeks to shed light on the terminological nuances of hadith, sunnah, khabar, and atsar, ensuring clarity and precision in their interpretations. Furthermore, it highlights the significance of examining the miraculous aspects of hadith and its relevance in contemporary scholarship, providing a holistic perspective that enriches the understanding of these essential sources of Islamic guidance

Meditation Guidance, Spiritual Strengthening, and Mental Health for Patients with Covid-19: Neuroscience Approach

Background: The spread of the Covid-19 virus outbreak in early March 2020, caused a high number of deaths worldwide. People infected with Covid-19 are not only physically infected but mentally (spiritually) are also infected. In Indonesia, many hospitals in all cities and villages have been instructed to lock down (limit communication and interaction). This research focuses on analyzing neuro-spiritual as an alternative spiritual approach to improving mental health for Covid-19 patients. Method: This study uses a qualitative method (content analysis), based on case studies at Muhammadiyah hospitals throughout the city of Yogyakarta, Indonesia which are fully accredited (perfect). This study interviewed asymptomatic and symptomatic Covid-19 patients using a purposive sampling technique. The data qualitative analysis technique uses triangulation. Results: This study describes that patients suffering from Covid-19 are very diverse. Before the neuro-spiritual approach, Covid-19 patients felt constrained. The existence of a neuro-spiritual approach, namely a spiritual approach, such as fasting, night prayers (tahajjud), reading the Koran, and interacting with friends, has a good and positive impact on Covid-19 patients. A neuro-spiritual approach that prioritizes and relies on spiritual power (worship) that responds to the brain, is an alternative method used by PKU Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta. Conclusion: A neuro-spiritual approach can improve the mental health of Covid-19 patients. This approach is very relevant to the reference perspective of Islamic studies which has implications for the Covid-19 disaster in Indonesia

THE CONCEPT OF ʿAQL AND BRAIN IN THE QURAN AND NEUROSCIENCE: A CONCEPT ANALYSIS OF NĀṢIYAH IN SALMAN’S TAFSIR

The purpose of this study is to analyze the meaning of Nāṣiyah in Tafsir Salman from a neo-scientific perspective. The development of neuroscience and Islamic education in this modern era is in line with the emergence of new findings, namely research about the meaning (Nāṣiyah) in the Quran which some commentators define as “the crown” or, in a neuroscience perspective ‘behind the crown’, namely the prefrontal cortex. Data of this research are sourced from literature studies through manual and digital searches, focusing on the Nāṣiyah interpretation paradigm in Surah al-ʿAlaq verses 15-16. Results of the study show that the meaning of Nāṣiyah is identical to the meaning (forehead). In Salman’s interpretation, what is meant by the crown is the brain, especially the prefrontal cortex. Therefore, Nāṣiyah is a neurobiological trace of the brain in the Quran. The discovery of the concept of Nāṣiyah as the neurobiological basis of the brain in the Quran will have broad implications for the development of the potential of ʿaql (reason) in Islamic education. The essence of Islamic education, of which is the development of the potential of reason as a manifestation of brain function (Nāṣiyah) in the Quran
