This study aims to analyze the concept of tauhid (Islamic monotheism) in Surah Al-Ikhlas based on the interpretation of Habib Ja’far Husein, as presented on the YouTube channel “Habib dan Cing” owned by Cing Abdel. The primary objective of this research is to gain a deeper understanding of the monotheistic concept discussed in Surah Al-Ikhlas and how Habib Ja’far Husein conveys the meaning of its verses to the public through digital media.

This study examines the close relationship between religious understanding and religiosity and the factors that influence the manifestation of religiosity in everyday life. Religion, as a structured belief system, provides moral and ethical guidelines that shape individual attitudes and behavior. Meanwhile, religiosity reflects the implementation of religious teachings that include not only ritual aspects, but also social and ethical values. The results showed that religiosity is influenced by family environment, education, and media. A supportive environment can strengthen religious commitment, while negative influences from the social environment can weaken religious understanding. Globalization is a challenge that can shift religious values, which in some cases can lead to extremism or intolerance. Therefore, moderate and inclusive religious education is important so that individuals can face this challenge with an open and tolerant attitude. This study concludes that a deep understanding of religion and balanced religious practices play an important role in creating a harmonious society. By prioritizing moderation and tolerance, religion can be a means of building a more peaceful and inclusive social life.

The Implementation of Sunan Muria's Philosophical Teachings in the Pager Mangkok Tradition at Kampung Budaya Piji Wetan Viewed from Islamic Values and Local Wisdom
This study aims to explore how the philosophical teachings of Sunan Muria are practically implemented in the lives of the community through the Pager Mangkok tradition preserved in the Piji Wetan Cultural Village. This tradition embodies a harmonious integration of Islamic values and local wisdom, passed down through generations and remaining relevant in the community’s social life. Using a qualitative approach, the research examines how this tradition promotes togetherness, compassion, and the spirit of sharing as core aspects of the community’s identity. Pager Mangkok is not merely a religious ritual, but also a vital means of strengthening social bonds, fostering relationships among residents, and preserving the continuity of local cultural identity. The findings reveal that sustaining this tradition not only enriches local cultural heritage but also reinforces the community’s understanding of inclusive and grounded Islamic values as taught by Sunan Muria.

The Urgency of Islamic Studies Approach in Building a Tolerant Society
This research aims to explore the urgency of a comprehensive and contextual approach to Islamic studies in building a tolerant society. In the era of globalization and an increasingly plural society, the challenge of building tolerance and harmony between religious communities has become increasingly urgent. Islam, as the religion with the second largest number of adherents in the world, has an important role in promoting the values of tolerance and peace. However, Islam is also often misunderstood and associated with acts of intolerance and violence. This research uses a qualitative approach with library research. The results show that a comprehensive and contextual approach to Islamic studies has a crucial role in building a tolerant society. This approach enables a deeper understanding of the values of tolerance and peace contained in Islamic teachings, as well as overcoming misconceptions and negative stereotypes. In addition, interfaith dialog and cooperation, as well as the development of an inclusive Islamic education model, are important factors in building a harmonious society.

The Relevance of Immanuel Kant’s Synthetic Epistemology in Bridging the ScienceReligion Dichotomy from an Islamic Perspective
The dynamics of the relationship between science and religion, particularly within the context of Islam, have been a longstanding debate in the history of human thought. Science, with its empirical approach, emphasizes methods of observation and experimentation, while religionin this case, Islamis founded upon revelation and faith. Immanuel Kant, through his epistemology of synthesis, offers a way to bridge this dichotomy by distinguishing between phenomena and noumena. This study aims to explore the relevance of Kant's epistemology in fostering a constructive dialogue between science and religion, as well as to identify the potentials and challenges faced within the Islamic context. The findings indicate that Kant’s thought can serve as a foundation for a more harmonious interaction between these two domains.
