Kepemimpinan digital kepala sekolah memegang peran penting dalam memperkuat ekosistem pembelajaran di era Kurikulum Merdeka, khususnya di sekolah dasar yang sedang beradaptasi dengan pemanfaatan teknologi pendidikan. Kurikulum Merdeka menekankan fleksibilitas, pembelajaran berbasis proyek, serta penggunaan perangkat digital untuk mendukung proses belajar yang lebih mandiri dan bermakna. Dalam konteks ini, kepala sekolah berperan sebagai pemimpin digital yang tidak hanya mengelola sekolah, tetapi juga mengarahkan visi teknologi, mendorong kompetensi guru, serta membangun budaya sekolah yang inovatif dan responsif terhadap perkembangan digital. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kuantitatif melalui survei terhadap 120 guru sekolah dasar di tiga kabupaten/kota. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tiga temuan penting. Pertama, 78% guru menyatakan peningkatan kompetensi dalam penggunaan aplikasi pembelajaran setelah adanya kebijakan kepemimpinan digital kepala sekolah. Kedua, 72% sekolah melaporkan meningkatnya kolaborasi antara guru dan orang tua melalui platform digital sekolah, yang berdampak pada peningkatan keterlibatan siswa dalam pembelajaran. Ketiga, 81% kepala sekolah memanfaatkan data digital (dashboard belajar, asesmen online, dan laporan harian) untuk pengambilan keputusan yang lebih cepat terkait kebutuhan belajar siswa. Temuan ini menguatkan bahwa kepemimpinan digital berkontribusi secara signifikan dalam mendukung keberhasilan implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka, serta menciptakan ekosistem belajar yang inklusif, adaptif, dan relevan dengan tuntutan pembelajaran abad ke-21.

Humanitarian and Beyond States Diplomacy: Society as an Emerging Global Actor
The evolution of global interaction in the 21st century reveals a widening gap between the complexity of contemporary crises and the capacity of traditional political diplomacy to address them. Geopolitical rivalries, institutional stagnation, and resource-extractive economic models have created a climate of diplomatic fatigue, where state-centered responses often fall short of delivering timely or humane solutions. Within this vacuum, civil society has emerged as a dynamic and influential actor capable of reshaping global engagement. Humanitarian organizations, volunteer networks, faith-based groups, and transnational advocacy coalitions now mobilize across borders to address urgent human needs, challenge injustices, and promote shared ethical norms. This paper conceptualizes “humanitarian and beyond-states diplomacy” as an alternative paradigm in which diplomatic influence is exercised not only through formal institutions but through societal initiative, moral persuasion, and collective action. It examines how civil society has moved from the periphery to the center of global affairs by negotiating humanitarian access, advocating for vulnerable populations, and generating new norms of solidarity and responsibility. Rather than operating within the limits of state sovereignty or economic interest, these actors draw legitimacy from empathy, global citizenship, and the moral urgency of human protection. The study argues that humanitarian diplomacy from below offers a transformative approach to international cooperation, one capable of renewing compassion, rebuilding trust, and addressing crises that have outpaced traditional diplomatic mechanisms. By analyzing this shift, the paper underscores the rising significance of society as an emerging global actor and highlights the potential of humanitarian engagement to redefine the future of diplomacy.

The Political Dimension of Prophethood on Civilizing the Moral Ethics, Justice, and Class Reform
This paper highlights the political dimension of Muhammad’s Prophethood as a comprehensive civilizational project aimed at improving moral ethics, justice, and class reform in the framework of society leadership and governance. Using a conceptual–narrative approach that draws from classical Islamic historiography (Sirah Nabawiyah) and modern interpretive context, the study situates the Prophet’s mission as both a spiritual awakening and a political transformation grounded in tauhid (divine unity). The research argues that the Prophet redefined politics as an ethical mission, transforming it from an arena of domination into a means of cultivating justice and moral consciousness. The Meccan phase illustrates moral resistance and class awakening, where faith became a force of ethical protest against social oppression. The Hijrah to Medina marked a transition from moral resistance to institutional civilization, establishing the Charter of Medina as one of the earliest constitutional models of pluralistic justice. Within the Madinan foundation, the Prophet institutionalized justice, social economy instruments of moral ethics governance, creating a balance between spirituality, law, and civic duty. The study concludes that Prophet Muhammad’s leadership civilized politics by linking power to moral purpose and embedding ethics in governance, economy, and society. His vision of a madani (civilized) community presents an enduring model of ethical statecraft where human dignity, equality, and compassion guide public order. This synthesis of faith and justice demonstrates that the foundation of Islamic civilization is moral ethics based, not material, anchored in the pursuit of righteousness, social welfare, and universal peace.

How Indonesia Should Go Further with Decentralization: Revisiting the Views and the Visions
Indonesia’s vast geography and cultural diversity pose long-standing challenges to the centralized governance systems. Following the collapse of the New Order regime in 1998, the country embarked on an ambitious decentralization campaign, transferring authority and resources from the central government to local governments through Laws No. 22 and 25 of 1999. Despite the progress made, recent trends suggest a drift back toward recentralization and inefficiencies in subnational governance. This article investigates how Indonesia should move forward with a deeper and more coherent decentralization policy, drawing insights from the ideas of key early independence-era thinkers, as well as the reform era. Using a qualitative historical-interpretive approach, the study analyzes political writings, speeches, and conceptual contributions of late figures, framed alongside policy and governance developments in post-Reformasi Indonesia. The findings reveal that decentralization was not merely an administrative concern but a philosophical and moral imperative for these thinkers. Hatta promoted village autonomy; Sjahrir advocated democratic pluralism; Malaka emphasized grassroots empowerment, while the reformists underscored decentralization as a pillar of democratic resilience. The study concludes that Indonesia’s decentralization project must go beyond partial devolution. It should embody the ethical and participatory principles rooted in the country’s intellectual tradition that work towards strengthening local democracy, fiscal independence, regional capability, and innovation. Reviving these foundational visions is vital to ensuring that decentralization serves not just efficiency, but also the quality of justice, inclusivity, prosperity, and national diversity.

Leader and the Leadership of the Prophet Muhammad: Strategy and Innovation in the Battle of Trench
This article examines Prophet Muhammad’s strategic and innovative leadership during the Battle of the Trench, a pivotal event in early Islamic history. Faced with a large confederate army, Muhammad adopted the unprecedented strategy of digging a trench around Medina, demonstrating his adaptability and inclusiveness by accepting a Persian companion’s suggestion, Salman al-Farsi. This tactic effectively neutralized the enemy’s advantage, highlighting Muhammad’s foresight and strategic acumen which can only be seen if we read the references in detail and feel the tense occurred on that day. The analysis of this article focuses on Muhammad’s leadership qualities, including visionary strategy, resilience, ethical conduct, and inspirational influence. These attributes were crucial in uniting and motivating the Muslim community under extreme adversity. The successful defence of Medina not only solidified the Muslim community but also set new precedents in military tactics and ethical warfare, influencing Islamic governance and leadership principles. The Battle of the Trench serves as a significant historical case study of strategic and ethical leadership shown by Muhammad in facing a direct enemy from outside and a potential internal enemy that turns up in that despairing situation. The insights drawn from Muhammad’s leadership approach are relevant to modern leadership and contemporary challenges, transcending religious and cultural contexts. This article contributes to the discourse on leadership, strategy, and crisis management, underscoring the enduring relevance of Muhammad’s leadership principles which have proven effective in saving the situation.

Nurcholish Madjid’s Neo-Modernism in Substantive Islamic Movements in Indonesia
At this time, there is a stagnation of thought among Muslims regarding whether the concept of an Islamic state is still being debated or not. Islamic socio-political movements are divided into two streams, namely Substantive Islam and Symbolic Islam. Nurcholish Madjid firmly rejects the politicization of Islam in the interests of political groups that are members of Islamic parties. With the motto: “Islam Yes, Islamic Party No!”. According to Nurcholish Madjid, Islamic political power is not always related to Islamic parties. He tries to convey a more substantial view of Islam, not just symbolism. Seeing the current situation, the criticism conveyed by Nurcholish Madjid is still very relevant. This research was conducted to explore the relevance of Nurcholish Madjid’s thoughts on state politics in Indonesia by considering the current situation. Based on the results of this research, it was revealed that Nurcholish Madjid chose Islam which is more substantial than just symbolism. This has its roots in the universal values of Islam, not just the symbol of the “Islamic party” itself. If we look at the current situation, the criticism raised by Nurcholish Madjid is still relevant because, at this time, the politicization of religion is generally used to attack political opponents or increase party electability. Instead of using Islam as a moral guide for politics, political elites tend to use Muslims for individual interests.

Pengaruh Nasionalisme Soekarno Terhadap Ketatanegaraan dan Politik Islam di Indonesia
This article analyses the influence of Soekarno’s secular nationalism in forming the Indonesian state. Soekarno, as one of Indonesia’s proclaimers of independence and its first president, had a key role in shaping the new country’s national identity and political direction. This article describes how Soekarno’s secular views influenced the struggle for independence and the formation of the Indonesian state and how this vision of secular nationalism was reflected in various policies and programs of his government. In his writings, Soekarno emphasized the importance of Pancasila as the basis of an inclusive state ideology and reflected the spirit of secular nationalism. Soekarno’s vision of secular nationalism was also reflected in his efforts to advance social and economic equality among the Indonesians and promote national independence through industrialization and the nationalization of vital assets. However, this article also highlights the controversy and criticism that Soekarno faced regarding his approach, which tended to be authoritarian in dealing with political opposition and resistance from certain religious groups. At the end of his reign, Sukarno’s secular nationalist views began to be challenged by various groups who emphasized religious identity in political discourse. Overall, this article presents a comprehensive picture of the influence of Soekarno’s secular nationalism in forming the Indonesian state. Although some aspects of his political approach are controversial, the legacy of Soekarno’s secular nationalism remains an important part of Indonesia’s national identity. It is relevant in facing the nation’s future challenges.

Analisis Putusan Hakim Pengadilan Agama Solok Tentang Asal Usul Anak dan Relevansinya dengan Maqashid Syariah
The next generation of nations, which includes children, will alter the course of global civilization. Since blood links are the primary source of family relationships because they serve as the family’s “glue” and “bond,” it is crucial to discuss how children come into the world. As was the case in the application for determining the origins of children submitted to the Solok Religious Court where a husband and wife became the applicants and requested that their child be recognized as a legitimate child, but in reality, the child was born as the result of extramarital affairs marry the applicant and enter into an unregistered marriage in which one party is still regarded as being legally married to another woman due to the fact that they lack a divorce decree or a private divorce. This study aims to examine the legal criteria utilized by the Solok Religious Court judges to establish the parentage of a child and its applicability to maqashid sharia. This study takes a qualitative approach while using a descriptive-analytical strategy. Based on the study’s findings, it can be said that the legal criteria used by judges, such as marriage laws, Constitutional Court rulings, Islamic law, and the Fatwa of the Ulema Council, are relevant to maqasid sharia and are consistent with the idea of ad-Dharuriyyah on maqashid sharia, which is to protect the soul and the lineage.

Islam, Wacana Negara dan Geliat Politik di Indonesia
Islam is a religion that contains ethical values that discuss various sectors of society’s social life. Meanwhile, the state is a complex social system. The state is a forum that accommodates the participatory activities of all its citizens. The existence of leadership and government in Islam is crucial, given its relevance in maintaining the law to ensure justice and benefit for citizens in this social system. The processes for developing leadership, government, and the state are determined by every citizen with the mechanism of political party representatives. The role of political parties is to connect elements between the non-formal aspirations of citizens to be advanced at a formal level so that they can be encouraged to become policies that provide benefits for all citizens. The dynamics of the transformation of the conception of government and the state continue to develop contextually, following the social structure of the people and the world order globally. This article discusses the conception of the state with descriptive analysis using classical and contemporary literature. This article also elaborates on how political activity in Indonesia needs to achieve a mature state so that the political activities of Islamic parties can provide practical and in-depth solutions to the problems of citizens as a whole.
