Publication Description: JIER Vol. 1 No. 2 (2026)
The inaugural issue of JIER (Journal of Islamic Education Research), Volume 1, Number 2, 2026, presents six scholarly articles that bridge foundational Islamic pedagogy with the ethical demands of the modern digital economy and contemporary youth culture. The first two papers delve into practical strategies at the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (Islamic elementary school) level, focusing on the implementation of aqidah values and offering an integrative model of "living scripture" through the Qur'an and Hadith to foster robust student morality. Moving from the classroom to the broader socioeconomic sphere, the next three articles explore Islamic ethics under a contemporary lens; they examine the cultivation of the Islamic work ethic through Hadith insights and offer critical recontextualizations of ijarah (service transactions) and transaction ethics regarding trade and riba within today's digital Sharia economy. Concluding the edition, the final paper addresses a highly pressing issue in modern student life by evaluating the role of Islamic spiritual extracurriculars in shaping religious character and actively mitigating cyberbullying behaviors. Collectively, this debut edition serves as a vital academic resource, reflecting JIER's commitment to aligning timeless Islamic principles with digital-era challenges and student well-being.
