The Urgency of Waqaf and Ibtida’ for Accuracy of Meaning in the Study of Tajwid Al-Qur’an

Sun, 21 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines the importance of waqf and ibtida’ in maintaining the accuracy of the meanings of Qur'anic verses. Mistakes in pausing or beginning the recitation can lead to shifts in meaning that affect the reader's understanding. Through a literature study approach, this research explores the definitions, legal basis, and classifications of waqf and ibtida’ according to classical and contemporary qira’ah scholars. Data was obtained from tajwid books, qira’ah literature, and relevant academic references. The results show that proper application of waqf and ibtida’ not only helps improve the quality of tilawah, but also preserves the continuity of the verses’ meanings so they are not interrupted or misinterpreted. Correct understanding of waqf signs in the mushaf also aids the qari in determining reading pauses. Therefore, mastery of the knowledge of waqf and ibtida’ is an essential part of performing the Qur'an recitation in a tartil manner, with precise meaning, and in accordance with the guidance of scholars.

Hilman — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Education is not only aimed at developing students’ intellectual intelligence but also at shaping their character. In practice, Indonesia still faces various moral problems, such as increasing deviant behaviors, violations of school rules, low discipline, and declining politeness among students. Previous studies have emphasized the importance of character education based on religious values; however, few studies have specifically examined the strategies used by teachers to internalize religious values in shaping students’ disciplinary character. This gap becomes the focus of the present study. This study employed a qualitative descriptive case study method with a field research approach conducted at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Nahdlatul Wathan (MI NW) Anjani. Data were collected through participant observation, structured interviews, and documentation, while data analysis followed Miles and Huberman’s model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that Akidah Akhlak teachers implement strategies for internalizing religious values through several approaches, including habit formation, exemplary behavior, embedding values in lesson materials, positive reinforcement and rewards, as well as corrective guidance and educational sanctions. Supporting factors for the success of these strategies include the active role of teachers as role models, curricula that integrate religious values, a religious school environment, and collaboration with parents. In contrast, limiting factors include insufficient facilities and infrastructure and lack of parental support. In conclusion, the internalization of religious values through Akidah Akhlak lessons effectively shapes students’ disciplinary character, provided it is supported by exemplary teachers, a conducive school environment, and parental involvement. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of a holistic approach to character education, combining academic learning with religious values consistently both at school and at home.

This study aims to describe the implementation of early childhood learning evaluation through a literature review of books, scholarly articles, and official PAUD assessment guidelines. The findings indicate that effective evaluation must utilize authentic assessment methods such as observation, anecdotal records, portfolios, and performance assessments to obtain a comprehensive picture of children's development. However, its implementation still faces several challenges, including teachers’ administrative workload, limited evaluation competence, parents’ perceptions that are not aligned with PAUD principles, non-standardized assessment instruments, and insufficient time for proper observation. This study emphasizes the need for improved teacher training, streamlined administrative processes, and strengthened collaboration with parents to ensure that PAUD learning evaluation becomes more optimal and development-oriented.

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to describe the implementation of physical education learning through gymnastics and games at SD Swasta Muhammadiyah 11 Medan. A qualitative approach was employed using interviews and documentation as data collection techniques. The findings indicate that physical education learning is conducted in accordance with the instructional materials, beginning with warm-up or gymnastics activities and followed by various games that encourage students’ active participation. Physical education is one of the subjects most favored by students because it is delivered through play-based activities. Teachers also instill health-related values and assess students based on their activeness, enthusiasm, and cooperation. However, the implementation of learning still faces challenges related to managing diverse student characteristic, indicating the need for adaptive and well-planned instructional strategies to optimize physical education learning.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in an Islamic Integrated Elementary School (SDIT Hasan Sanusi Catakgayam Mojowarno) during the 2024/2025 academic year. The research employed a qualitative approach using a single case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis involving teachers, school leaders, students, and parents.

Project-Based Learning (P5) was implemented contextually and contributed to increased student engagement and character development. Supporting factors included teacher training, school leadership commitment, and adequate infrastructure, while constraints were limited funding, varying levels of parental involvement, and teachers’ adaptation in designing contextual learning modules. This study concludes that the Merdeka Curriculum can strengthen Islamic education when implemented flexibly and contextually. The findings contribute theoretically to curriculum implementation studies in Islamic education and practically offer recommendations for Islamic schools in adapting national curriculum reforms.
