Conflict Dynamics and Violence Against the Ahmadiyya Community in Lombok
Religious conflict in Indonesia, particularly violence against the Ahmadiyya community in Lombok, is a complex phenomenon shaped by the interaction of theological, social, political, and cultural factors. This study examines the underlying dynamics of the conflict using Kimball's theoretical framework to explore how religious beliefs, authority, and social structures contribute to the persistence of violence. Employing a qualitative approach, the study analyzes the roles of religious truth claims, obedience to religious authority, local political interests, and institutional legitimacy in sustaining discrimination against the Ahmadiyya community. The findings reveal that exclusive truth claims reinforce social boundaries, discourage intergroup dialogue, and legitimize discriminatory practices. Religious authority, when left unchallenged, can facilitate the moral justification of violence, while structural inequalities and local political dynamics further institutionalize exclusion. The study also demonstrates that the conflict is sustained not only by theological differences but also by competing social and political interests embedded within local power relations. These findings suggest that effective conflict resolution requires an integrated approach that combines legal protection, social reconciliation, and public education to strengthen interreligious coexistence and promote a more inclusive culture of tolerance in Lombok.

Evaluating the Cigarette Excise Moratorium through Qawāʿid Fiqhiyyah
The government’s moratorium on cigarette excise tax increases reflects a persistent policy tension between maintaining economic stability and safeguarding public health. While the tobacco industry contributes significantly to state revenue and employment, its widespread consumption generates serious long-term health and social harms. This study employed a qualitative normative approach with a descriptive-analytical design. Data were derived from secondary sources, including government reports, academic literature, and classical as well as contemporary Islamic legal texts. The analysis was grounded in al-qawāʿid al-khamsah and their derivative legal maxims to assess the balance between maṣlaḥah and mafsadah. The findings indicate that the moratorium produces short-term economic benefits, including industrial stability, employment protection, and sustained fiscal revenue. However, it also leads to more significant long-term harms, such as increased cigarette consumption, patterns of isrāf, and rising public health burdens. From the perspective of qawāʿid fiqhiyyah, these harms outweigh the benefits when the policy is not accompanied by mitigating measures. This study concludes that a more balanced policy is required through gradual excise tax increases combined with transitional support for affected stakeholders, public health initiatives, and the development of alternative economic sectors. Such an approach aligns with the objectives of maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, particularly the protection of life and wealth, and offers a more sustainable and ethically grounded policy framework.

Islam and Ideology in Online Media Headlines: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Trans7’s Pesantren Representation
This study examines the construction of Islam and ideology in online media headlines representing the Lirboyo Pesantren following the broadcast of Trans7's Xpose Uncensored using Fairclough's (1995) three-dimensional Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework. Through this theory, it is intended to explore how online media headlines shape the construction of Islam, Ideology, Pesantren, and religious authority in Indonesia's digital public sphere. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, 30 news headlines were analyzed across three dimensions of CDA: textual (linguistic and evaluative framing), discursive (the production and circulation of institutional meaning), and socio-cultural (the relationship among ideology, power, and Islamic ethics). The results show that religious lexicons such as "sowan" (visit), "maafkan" (to forgive), and "bersholawat" (blessings, prayers, or salutations sent upon the Prophet Muhammad) are strategically employed to represent Islam as an ethical and communicative ideology. At the level of discursive practice, the media negotiates moral legitimacy by adopting Pesantren values, ​​such as "amanah" (honesty) and "'adil" (justice). Meanwhile, at the socio-cultural level, Islam functions as a counter-hegemonic moral force that balances the logic of media capitalism with spiritual authority. These findings suggest that media discourse not only reflects reality but also reconstructs Islamic moral authority through language and institutional negotiations. This study concludes that Islamic authority in the digital era has transformed into a mediated moral force. Hence, this research contributes to the study of Islamic communication and media by integrating CDA and Islamic ethical principles to explain the role of Islam as a discourse and ideology in shaping contemporary public morality.

Muslim Minority Identity in Western Societies: A Systematic Review and Bibliometric Analysis
This study systematically maps scholarly research on the cultural and identity negotiation of Muslim minorities in Western societies through a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis of the Scopus database published between 2004 and 2024. From an initial corpus of 213 records, 22 articles met the inclusion criteria and formed the analytical dataset. The results demonstrate that research on Muslim minority identity constitutes a sustained and significant field of inquiry, with publication trends showing steady growth, particularly after 2018, in response to evolving socio-political conditions in Western contexts. Besides, bibliometric mapping reveals that current research is structured around five dominant thematic clusters: identity negotiation, integration and national belonging, gender and intersectionality, media and representation, and transnational memory and diaspora. High-frequency keywords such as identity, Islam, Europe, cultural identity, religion, and immigrant indicate a strong conceptual emphasis on identity as a relational and contested construct. The findings further show that Muslim minority identity is predominantly theorized as a dynamic process shaped by interactions among state policies, educational institutions, media discourses, everyday religious practices, and collective memory, rather than through fixed or assimilationist models. Theoretically, these patterns reinforce frameworks of diasporic identity and cultural hybridity. Practically, they highlight the need for interdisciplinary approaches that integrate religious studies, sociology, media studies, and education. By empirically situating religion as a lived and socially negotiated practice, this study advances religious studies. Hence, it provides a foundation for future research on religion, identity, and power in plural societies.

Sharia Compliance in Indonesian Pension Funds: Regulatory Challenges and Institutional Practices
Sharia-compliant pension funds constitute an important component of Islamic finance and social security development in Indonesia, yet their implementation remains institutionally and regulatorily complex. This study examines the application of Sharia economic law in the management of Employer-Sponsored Pension Funds (DPPK) and Financial Institution Pension Funds (DPLK) within Islamic financial institutions, drawing on case analyses of DPLK Syariah Muamalat and the ongoing Sharia transformation of PT TASPEN. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the study applies normative-juridical analysis, regulatory review, and secondary-data-based case examination. The findings indicate that, despite the presence of a comprehensive regulatory framework including Law No. 11 of 1992, POJK No. 33/POJK.05/2016, and DSN-MUI fatwas, Sharia pension fund implementation faces persistent structural constraints, particularly regulatory fragmentation, limited public literacy, and restricted availability of Sharia-compliant investment instruments. The case analysis shows that DPLK Syariah Muamalat has complied mainly with Sharia principles, although further development is required in digital governance and portfolio diversification. Similarly, PT TASPEN’s transition toward a Sharia-based pension system demonstrates institutional potential but remains contingent on strengthened organizational capacity and adequate Sharia supervision. The study highlights the need for regulatory harmonization, the reinforcement of Sharia Supervisory Boards, and the strategic integration of pension funds with Islamic social finance instruments to enhance institutional sustainability. Hence, this research contributes to the discourse on Islamic finance governance by clarifying how regulatory design and institutional practice shape the viability of Sharia-compliant pension systems in emerging Islamic financial markets.

The Evolution of Hadith Studies: From Early Writing to Digital Verification in the Era of Modern Science
The rapid expansion of digital access to information has transformed hadith studies, creating a critical challenge in the widespread dissemination of fabricated traditions and the limited availability of reliable digital verification systems. This study aims to examine the evolution of hadith verification from classical scholarship to contemporary digital approaches and to evaluate their effectiveness in preserving authenticity. A qualitative approach was employed through a literature review and historical comparative analysis to trace the development of hadith criticism, from traditional sanad and matan evaluation to emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain. The findings indicate that although digital platforms enhance accessibility and accelerate dissemination, current verification tools remain insufficient for comprehensive and accurate authentication. Consequently, classical methodologies continue to serve an indispensable role in maintaining scholarly rigor. Besides, this study argues for an integrative framework combining traditional hadith criticism with advanced technological innovations to address current challenges. Hence, it concludes that such synergy provides a more reliable pathway for safeguarding hadith authenticity and offers a conceptual foundation for developing robust digital verification systems capable of mitigating contemporary disinformation.

Determining the Optimal Return of a Sharia-Compliant Stock Investment Portfolio in the Employment Social Security Agency
The Employment Social Security Agency (BPJS Ketenagakerjaan) is progressively implementing Sharia principles across its operational activities, including the management of equity investments in Sharia-compliant financial instruments. This study aims to determine the optimal Sharia-compliant stock investment portfolio for the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) using a quantitative, descriptive approach and portfolio optimisation techniques. The analysis employs the Markowitz mean-variance model and the Single Index Model, based on monthly closing prices of Sharia-compliant stocks listed on the JII from 2019 to 2023. The results indicate that the Markowitz model generates an optimal portfolio consisting of ADRO (24.41%), ICBP (0.13%), BPRT (37.76%), and ANTM (37.70%), with an expected return of 0.63% and a portfolio risk of 0.35%. In comparison, the Single Index Model produces a more diversified portfolio comprising ADRO (19.62%), ANTM (23.50%), BPRT (19.65%), INCO (14.69%), ITMG (12.54%), EXCL (5.02%), TLKM (2.89%), and KLBF (2.09%), yielding an expected return of 0.48% and a risk level of 0.23%. Thus, the findings demonstrate that the portfolio constructed using the Markowitz model provides a more optimal risk-return trade-off and is therefore recommended as the preferred Sharia-compliant investment strategy for BPJS Ketenagakerjaan.

Talqiyyan Fikriyyan: An Implementation of Rational Methods in Building Students' Critical Thinking
Critical thinking is a requirement in modern life, especially in the Islamic environment. Islam has ordered humans to think critically to reach the truth. Besides, studies on critical thinking are still being developed in various aspects. In its implementation, mastering critical thinking may face many challenges. This study aims to analyze the problems in building critical thinking and obtain the proper method to teach this skill to students. The data is collected through a literature review related to the study topic. From the review, this study highlights how rational methods can be used fundamentally for all thinking activities, and this method is acquired through the Talqiyyan Fikriyyan concept. In addition, the concept of critical thinking in Islam is a command from Allah Ta’ala (the most glorified, the highest). Also, implementing rational methods in learning builds students’ critical thinking skills. Thus, this study suggests that the Talqiyyan Fikriyyan method can be essential for all subjects in increasing students’ critical thinking skills.

Tracing the Harmony between the Qur’an and Modern Scientific Discoveries through Al-Kindi’s Theory
The perceived tension between religious revelation and modern scientific inquiry has often led to scepticism about the epistemic role of the Qur’an in contemporary knowledge development. This study aims to analyse the harmony between the Qur’an and modern science through the philosophical framework of Al-Kindi. Employing a mixed-methods approach that integrates qualitative and quantitative techniques, the study examines Qur’anic perspectives alongside scientific interpretations to assess their coherence. The findings indicate a consistent, complementary relationship between Qur’anic principles and scientific understanding, suggesting that both serve as mutually reinforcing sources of knowledge. The study demonstrates that the Qur’an and modern science share a harmonious epistemological orientation grounded in rational inquiry and the pursuit of truth. This research contributes to ongoing discussions in Islamic philosophy and science–religion studies by reaffirming the relevance of Qur’anic epistemology in contemporary scientific discourse.

Spiritual Resilience in Bereaved Young Women: A Case Study of a Young Woman Who Was Left to Die by Her Fiancé
The grief of loss has been addressed in many studies. Most of these studies describe the grief of losing a husband or wife. Studies on the bereavement of a fiancé are few. This study aims to explore the role of spiritual resilience in the grieving process experienced by a young woman who was left by her fiancé. One of the issues they addressed was how people process their grief and assign meaning to the loss experience. This qualitative case study involved in-depth interviews to extract information about informants’ experiences and coping strategies. The results show that belief in destiny, social support from family and friends, and engagement in meaningful spiritual practices contribute significantly to developing spiritual resilience. The interpretation of the results of this analysis suggests that spiritual resilience not only helps individuals deal with grief but also promotes personal growth and emotional recovery. This research contributes to the field of Islamic psychology on the mechanisms of spiritual resilience in the recovery process from bereavement. Hence, this study provides insight for individuals and mental health practitioners who are facing similar issues.

Al-Balkhi's Contribution to Cognitive Therapy: A Historical Analysis of Early Perspectives on Mental Health
Mental health has been defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Psychological Association (APA) as a state of emotional well-being and the ability to cope effectively with life's challenges. Although cognitive therapy is widely associated with contemporary psychology, its intellectual foundations can be traced to earlier scholarly traditions. This study examines the contribution of Abu Zayd al-Balkhi to the historical development of cognitive therapy by analyzing his conceptualization of mental health and therapeutic practices. Using a historical and comparative analytical approach, the study investigates al-Balkhi's perspectives on psychological disorders, including depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, with particular attention to his distinction between endogenous and reactive depression. The analysis compares al-Balkhi's therapeutic principles with those of contemporary Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). The findings reveal substantial conceptual parallels, particularly in the emphasis on cognitive restructuring, emotional regulation, and the integration of spiritual dimensions into psychological treatment. The study also demonstrates that al-Balkhi proposed a holistic model that addressed the interrelationship between the mind, body, and soul, anticipating several principles recognized in modern mental health care. These findings highlight al-Balkhi's significant role in the historical development of cognitive therapy and underscore the continuing relevance of his integrative framework for contemporary mental health research and practice.

Students Responses to the Hannafin and Peck Learning Media Worksheet in Islamic Religious Education Subject
Teaching and learning activities must use motivation as a driving force for student absorption because students can obtain information from the programmed curriculum to increase the quality of learning. This research aims to analyze and describe students' responses to the Hannafin and Peck learning media worksheet in Islamic religious education (PAI) subjects in class 5 of Islamic elementary school. This study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive analysis. The participants were 20 students. The data collection technique was in the form of a statement questionnaire. The results showed that the average student response to the Hannafin and Peck learning model was 85% with a good category, the response to the PAI lesson was 75% with enough category, and the response to the learning process was 80% with a good category. Hence, the total average of students' responses was 80% with a good category. Thus, the Hannafin and Peck learning model in PAI subjects could be implemented at school. Also, it is hoped that there will be more in-depth research regarding the Hannafin and Pack learning model.

Integration of Fiqh and Science in Determining Fajr Time in Indonesia
Fiqh and science are two entities that must be brought together to determine the time of dawn (fajr). Fajr has three signs: fajr prayer time, forbidden food for fasting people, and the final limit of wukuf time in Arafat for pilgrims. Meanwhile, inaccuracy in the determination of dawn can result in the invalidity of some acts of worship. This study aims to observe the determination of Fajr time in Indonesia. This field research used a qualitative approach with primary data from observation of dawn in the field using a pocket photometer tool in the form of a Sky Quality Meter. The observation results were then processed using scientific approaches, such as ImageJ, Gnuplot, and Microsoft Excel, to get a graph/curve that can translate the sun's height in determining dawn time. The research findings showed that the rise of dawn is related to the criteria for the beginning of Fajr time. The sun's altitude is related to the position of how many degrees the beginning of fajr shadiq began to be seen; from the data that was successfully processed, the emergence of fajr shadiq right at the sun's altitude was -20 °. In fiqh terms, (1) the difference at the beginning of dawn has an impact on the problem of prayer; the invalidity of people who hasten to pray at dawn once they hear the call to dawn, such as because of illness, staying up all night, travelling, and praying at home for women. Because it has not yet entered the time of prayer (dukhul al-waqt); (2) menstrual and postpartum blood for women who stop during the limit period if based on the existing dawn schedule, the woman is not obliged to fast because it stops shortly after the start of the adhan, while if according to another schedule, the time of cessation of blood is still counted before imsak, so it should be pure and the obligation to fast; and (3) about the Sunnah of delaying the suhoor meal, and the dawn prayer becomes inappropriate.

Culture Shock and Academic Adaptation: The Experiences of Patani Students in Islamic Higher Education
Cultural differences between countries often lead to culture shock, particularly among students pursuing higher education abroad. It is also encountered by Patani students studying at UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung, which affects their academic experience. Thus, this study explores the culture shock experienced by Patani students, focusing on their academic adaptation process on campus. A qualitative approach was employed by interviewing Patani students from several departments to gain insights into their adaptation challenges and needs. The findings reveal that Patani students face several obstacles, including language barriers, limited social support, and challenges adjusting to differences between Sundanese and Patani cultures. Many students expressed the need for language classes and specialized support services for international students to ease their academic and social transition. Besides, these findings highlight the importance of universities providing adequate support systems for international students. Institutions should consider implementing language programs and dedicated services to help non-local students integrate more effectively into academic and social settings. Addressing the adaptation challenges of international students, particularly those in non-international class settings, can enhance their academic success and overall campus experience. This study underscores the need for universities to be more attentive to the specific needs of international students to foster a more inclusive academic environment.

Political Islam: A Comparative Study of Malaysia and Indonesia
This study aims to uncover the history and nuances of political Islam in Malaysia and Indonesia. This research employs a qualitative methodology, specifically library research through content analysis, for its flexibility in systematically analyzing books and journal articles by identifying, coding, and categorizing patterns in the data, thereby providing a comprehensive understanding of their similarities and differences. Malaysia, a Southeast Asian federal monarchy, gained independence in 1957 after a history of colonial occupation. Its multiethnic population includes indigenous tribes and international traders, with Islam as the official religion, though non-Muslims practice freely. Traditional values and the Sultan's role as protector of religion are central to Malay society. Political decisions often weigh ethnic and religious factors. Islam's political role in Malaysia has varied, with prime ministers interpreting its influence differently. Debates range from advocating a full Islamic system to separating religion from politics. Policies have driven Islamization in education, art, music, and clothing, affecting party dynamics between Pan-Malaysian Islamic (PAS) and the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO). UMNO has maintained Malay Muslim support by integrating Islamic sentiments. In Indonesia, a Muslim-majority nation, implementing Islam in politics is complicated by its diverse population. The Pancasila ideology, aligned with Islamic norms, emphasizes monotheism, justice, unity, consultation, and social justice. Despite deep historical roots, integrating Islamic principles in governance requires tolerance of minority views. Political Islam in Indonesia is diverse, with Islamic parties and new Islamist groups influencing governance. Traditional organizations like Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah face competition from groups using media to reshape religious authority.

Human Resource Development Through Urban Farming Enterprises in Islamic Boarding School
Many of the Indonesian young generations have fallen into Western culture through fashions, foods, films, free-thinking, free sex, and friction. Consequently, it becomes an urgent problem that requires us to guide them in the right direction. One of the solution places to solve this problem is an Islamic boarding school. Islamic boarding schools have an essential role in directing the potential of the young generation so they do not fall into the trap. This study aims to explore the efforts made by Al-Ittifaq Islamic Boarding School to develop students’ resources, including students’ thinking, work abilities, and directing their potential. This research used a qualitative approach with the Constructivity Paradigm by Lev Vygotsky. The results showed that students with Islamic personalities have performance and entrepreneurial skills, can determine their direction in making decisions, and develop their leadership. Besides, Al-Ittifaq Islamic Boarding School succeeded in expanding its target area by placing 270 assisted farmers managed by Islamic boarding school alumni on 130 hectares; it also collaborated with Japan and the Netherlands. In addition, Pesantren could expand the product to various nearby supermarkets. Moreover, Al-Ittifaq Islamic Boarding School utilized social media to promote the school and developed the Alifmart application, which can be downloaded from Playstore to expand and simplify muamalah. Thus, through this study, it can be a model for developing other Islamic Boarding Schools, especially in Indonesia.

Strategies of Teachers in Developing an Islamic Religious Education Curriculum
In the current era, the teacher's role in developing a learning curriculum that suits needs is urgent. Teachers are required to empower various digital platforms such as learning applications, websites, and other online resources to make learning more exciting and facilitate students' accessibility. This research aimed to investigate teachers' strategies for increasing the Islamic religious education (PAI in Indonesian) curriculum. This study used literature reviews from various sources related to this topic. The results show that the teacher's strategies in curriculum development may vary according to the centralized, decentralized, or central-decentralized management approach. Teachers were also essential as implementers, adapters, developers, and researchers. Besides, teachers were not only asked to transfer knowledge but also responsible for conducting other crucial values through reciprocal interaction, which was the primary key in the learning process. It means that teachers guided students to get what pupils needed. Thus, this article provides an alternative model for teachers in developing and implementing the PAI curriculum to achieve educational goals.

Integrated Islamic and General Education: A Study on the Integrative Education Thought of Mohammad Natsir
Islamic education is one of the main factors in building a nation's civilization. However, secularism has separated religious affairs from government and social affairs. It means that the teaching of Islamic education is felt only in the aspect of worshiping Allah SWT (The most glorified, the highest), known as scientific dichotomies. Besides, since the Dutch government came to Indonesia, Mohammad Natsir had paid attention to indigenous communities so that Dutch ideas regarding scientific dichotomy did not influence them by implementing integrative education. This research intended to describe the concept of Islamic education according to Mohammad Natsir and compare it with general education. This research used a qualitative approach with a literature review method. The results of the research show: (a) the concept of religious education based on monotheism as well as physical and spiritual, which cannot be separated from the sources of the Qur'an, Hadith, Creed and Morals, Fiqh Science, and the History of Islamic Culture, and (b) the integration of Islamic education with general in order to make individuals highly intellectual and religious. Therefore, this research provides an alternative source of information for developing Islamic religious education.

Analysis of Radical and Radicalism Collocations in Indonesia Online Media Reporting Based on Linguistics Corpus
In 2018, the words Radical and Radicalism (RaR) became very popular and a matter of public discussion. Reporting on this issue was directed at radical movements and acts of terrorism that had entered the academic environment on campus. This research analyzed the meaning of collocation of RaR in online media reporting. This study used a combined approach: quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative was used to gather data from the linguistic corpus (digital linguistics) taken from online news media such as Detik.com, Okezone.com, Kompas.com, Viva.co.id, Media Indonesia, Kompas, Bisnis Indonesia, Pikiran Rakyat, Republika Online, BBC.com, and CNN Indonesia.com. Qualitative was used to identify the number of frequencies of the word Radical and the occurrence of the collocation of RaR, as well as clusters/n-grams contained in the AntConc application tools. The results show that the words RaR were powerful for Islamic groups, with the high frequency of appearance of the word radicalism in rank 7 with a frequency of 624, Islam in rank 16 with a frequency of 355, religion in rank 24 with a frequency of 249, and campus in rank 32 with a frequency of 200. Hence, this data reveals that online media tended to be subjective in reporting, where radical groups always connoted certain religious groups and symbols. Moreover, the radical movement was suspected to have spread this term among students on several campuses in Indonesia, especially Islamic groups. Thus, this research provides an overview of the RaR collocation on online news.

The Role of Fundamental Strategies in Overcoming the Inflation
High inflation rates are a complex economic challenge and have far-reaching impacts. To deal with these problems, an effective strategy involving a series of policy instruments and a deep understanding of the root problems that cause inflation is needed. This research aims to analyze strategies to overcome inflation and offer fundamental strategies. This research uses a qualitative with a descriptive-analytical method. The research data is obtained through a literature review: the relevant information from previous research results or official publications. The research results show that it is more supply-side based on analyzing the government's strategy for overcoming inflation. Based on examining the existing situation, this strategy must be complemented by a demand side: providing energy subsidies, increasing national production capacity, and moral education. Based on an in-depth study of inflation, this research provides recommendations for a more fundamental strategy in integrating financial technology (fintech) with precious metals (gold-fintech). This condition means gold-based fintech. It means realizing practical transactions using fintech, which is flexible, practical, and cashless, but the standard is using gold, not fiat money. Also, Islam views gold and silver as suitable for currency use. Apart from internal factors and conformity between nominal and intrinsic value, the uses of gold and silver are based on the sharia. Gold and silver are strong enough to withstand inflation, something that paper money-based currencies do not have. Hence, researchers suggest further research regarding the technical transition mechanism from fiat money-based to precious gold and metal-based fintech.

Proposing a Model of Impression Learning Program to Foster Elementary Students’ Mathematics Skills in an Islamic Context
This research was intended to portray how Impression Learning (IL) programs were incorporated into a mathematics class in an Indonesian Islamic elementary school and how the students’ mathematics skills were fostered during the learning process. This study was a classroom practice-based model of how the IL programs were conveyed in the detailed teaching of equality of money value in grade 2 of elementary school. This study used a case study to see how a phenomenon happened: teaching steps, teacher-student dialogues, and involvement of students in the learning process. Also, the use of concrete material was planned to enable students' senses and became a novelty of this study. In addition, the teaching process consisted of (a) a learning plan (setting the learning objectives, learning materials and resources, learning media, learning approaches and strategies, schedules, and learning environments), (b) combining the concepts of teaching procedures: Talqiyyan Fikriyyan, TANDUR (Grow, Experience, Name, Demonstrate, Repeat, and Celebration), installing an internalization of Islamic values, and reflection. Besides, this research could optimize students thinking and attitude patterns. Hence, this study provides an alternative model of impression teaching in education, especially mathematics.
