GENERATION Z'S LEXICAL CREATIVITY ON SOCIAL MEDIA: AN ANALYSIS OF WORD FORMATION PATTERNS AND SEMANTIC SHIFT

Rita Zahra — 2026-09-03

The development of social media has not only transformed Generation Z's communication patterns but has also given rise to linguistic dynamics marked by the creation of new lexical forms and meanings. This study aims to analyze the patterns of word formation and semantic shift as a representation of Generation Z's lexical creativity on social media. The research uses a qualitative descriptive approach from a morphological and semantic perspective. The data consist of lexical forms used in Generation Z's communication on TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook, and WhatsApp, collected through observation, note-taking, and documentation techniques, and analyzed through identification, classification, contextual meaning analysis, and interpretation of the relationship between form and meaning. The results show that lexical creativity is formed through acronymization, shortening, blending, borrowing, and form modification, while at the semantic level there is a tendency toward broadening, metaphorization, contextualization, and reinterpretation of meaning. The relationship between these two dimensions forms three main patterns: a change in form with relatively preserved meaning, a relatively unchanged form with shifted meaning, and the adoption of a form accompanied by recontextualization of meaning. These findings confirm that Generation Z's lexical creativity is not merely a symptom of slang use, but a form of linguistic productivity that brings together morphological innovation and semantic dynamics. Social media thus becomes an important space for the formation, dissemination, and re-signification of vocabulary that reflects language's adaptation to the culture of digital communication

IMPLEMENTATION OF MURABAHAH AGREEMENT ON SHARIA COMPLIANCE MITIGATION OF GRIYA BSI KCP SUDIRMAN PRODUCTS BENGKULU CITY

Mahfuzan Arafat — 2026-09-03

This study examines the implementation of murabahah contracts and sharia compliance risk mitigation in the Griya product at Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) Sudirman Sub-Branch Office, Bengkulu City. A descriptive qualitative approach and case-study method were employed. Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with one branch manager, one Griya account officer, and four Griya customers, supported by non-participatory observation and document analysis. Data were analyzed through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings show that murabahah implementation follows structured procedures: document completion, SLIK checking, collateral survey, appraisal, approval, issuance of SP3, customer offer, contract signing, and disbursement. Murabahah bil wakalah supports fulfillment of asset ownership before the murabahah sale. Mitigation is implemented through three control pillars involving marketing, verification and risk management, and financing facility, followed by internal audit sampling. Customers considered price and margin information transparent, although their substantive understanding varied. Supporting factors include clear rules, product manuals, layered controls, and internal audits. Constraints include uneven employee and customer understanding, human-resource competency, inter-unit coordination, regulatory changes, information-system development, and compliance culture. The study recommends employee training, simpler customer education, and periodic control evaluation

STYLISTIC ANALYSIS ON THE ALBUM OF SONGS BY REY MBAYANG

Anisa Kurniawati — 2026-09-04

This study is motivated by the fact that language in song lyrics serves not only as a medium for conveying messages but also possesses aesthetic value through word choice, stylistic devices, and imagery. An album by Rey Mbayang was selected as the object of study due to its polite, religious, emotional, and poetic linguistic characteristics. The study aims to describe the forms and types of diction, analyze stylistic devices, and describe the imagery and meanings constructed through the use of stylistic elements in Rey Mbayang's song lyrics. This research employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive-analytical method. The data sources consist of the lyrics of six songs by Rey Mbayang: “Di Sepertiga Malam”, “Sempurnakan Hariku”, “Ku Yakin Bahagia”, “Untuk Apa”, “Selamat Tinggal”, and “Tentang Setelahnya”. Data collection techniques involved documentation, the "listen-and-note" method, and data classification. Data analysis techniques included identification, classification, interpretation, and drawing conclusions. The results indicate that Rey Mbayang's lyrics employ diverse diction that is religious, affective, contemplative, euphemistic, and visionary in nature. Stylistic devices identified include metaphor, personification, hyperbole, repetition, and rhetorical questions. The imagery utilized encompasses visual, auditory, tactile, kinesthetic, gustatory, and emotional imagery. These elements serve to enhance aesthetic value, establish an emotional atmosphere, and convey meanings related to prayer, love, happiness, contemplation, sincerity, and hope for the afterlife. Overall, the stylistics in Rey Mbayang's lyrics demonstrate a blend of modern, romantic, polite, and religious language, resulting in poetic expressions that possess depth of meaning

DAI CHILDREN AND THE ART OF DA'WAH: A CHILD-FRIENDLY MODEL OF RELIGIOUS COMMUNICATION

Wahyu Rezeki — 2026-09-18

Da'wah to children requires a communication pattern that is in accordance with the characteristics of the child's development, emotional needs, and social experiences. The da'wah approach that only emphasizes verbal message delivery tends to be less able to create active children's involvement. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of children's communication, identify the use of art as a da'wah medium, and formulate a child-friendly religious communication model. The research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method. Data were obtained from scientific journal articles and relevant academic sources regarding da'wah communication, children's da'wah, da'wah art, religious education, and child-friendly communication. The data were analyzed through content analysis and thematic synthesis. The results of the study showed that da'wah communication to children is effective when it combines the example of da'wah, age-appropriate message delivery, the use of art and creative media, children's active involvement, and a safe, dialogical, and compassionate communication atmosphere. Based on these findings, the DASAR Model (Dai Anak–Seni–Active–Ramah) was formulated as a framework for religious communication that places children as active subjects in the da'wah process

BUILDING THE ISLAMIC CHARACTER OF GENERATION Z THROUGH THE INTEGRATION OF ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION, DIGITAL LITERACY, AND RELIGIOUS MODERATION

Fakri — 2026-09-21

The development of digital technology has transformed the way Generation Z acquires, produces, and disseminates religious knowledge. This condition provides an opportunity for Islamic Religious Education (PAI) to develop learning that is more contextual, interactive, and relevant to students' lives. At the same time, the digital environment presents challenges in the form of religious disinformation, the fragmentation of scholarly authority, exclusivism, and a lack of ability among some students to critically evaluate religious information. This article aims to analyze the integration of PAI, digital literacy, and religious moderation as a strategic approach to building the Islamic character of Generation Z. The study uses an integrative literature review approach by analyzing relevant scholarly literature on Islamic religious education, character education, digital literacy, Generation Z, and religious moderation, with particular attention to recent publications. The analysis was conducted through theme identification, comparison of findings, conceptual synthesis, and the development of an integrative framework. The results show that shaping the Islamic character of Generation Z cannot be achieved solely through the transfer of religious knowledge, but requires the integration of religious competence, digital literacy skills, and the internalization of religious moderation values. PAI occupies a strategic position as a pedagogical space for building students' ability to understand Islamic teachings, verify religious information, use digital media ethically, respect differences, and apply Islamic values in real life. This article offers an integrative model consisting of four stages: religious understanding, digital verification, value reflection, and character actualization. This model can serve as a framework for developing PAI instruction that is responsive to digital transformation while remaining oriented toward the formation of moral character, tolerance, responsibility, and social benefit

SUSTAINABLE PALM OIL INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR POVERTY ALLEVIATION IN ACEH

Bustanul Aulia — 2026-09-21

This study analyzes the role of the palm oil industry in supporting sustainable development (SDGs) and poverty reduction efforts in Aceh, Indonesia, focusing on the sector's contribution and implemented government policies. Palm oil is an important commodity used in various products that significantly contribute to the Indonesian economy, reaching CPO production of 48.4 million tons in 2019. This industry has been proven to create income for communities in palm oil-producing areas, and palm oil plantations can increase farmers' incomes 5–10 times higher than non-palm oil farmers. Palm oil's contribution to the SDGs includes poverty alleviation (SDG-1), hunger reduction (SDG-2), clean energy (SDG-7), and decent work and economic growth (SDG-8). However, this industry also faces serious challenges, including land conflicts, deforestation, and other environmental impacts that risk biodiversity and climate change. Although Aceh has extensive palm oil plantations, poverty remains a major problem — Aceh Singkil, which has the largest plantations, is in fact the poorest district in Aceh. The Indonesian government has committed to sustainable development in the palm oil industry through regulations such as Presidential Regulation No. 44 of 2020 and the implementation of ISPO, RSPO, and ISCC certification. However, with ISPO certification reaching only approximately 35% by the end of 2023, this demonstrates the need for intensive efforts, as well as education and training for smallholder farmers. This study uses a literature review and analysis of data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) to identify the relationship between government policies, sustainable development, and poverty levels. While the palm oil industry has significant potential for poverty alleviation, success will depend heavily on effective policy implementation, sustainable practices, and equitable distribution of benefits to address existing social and environmental challenges

THE CONCEPT OF ADAB IN ISLAMIC EDUCATIONAL THOUGHT AND ITS RELEVANCE IN THE DIGITAL ERA

Miswar — 2026-09-21

The development of digital technology has brought significant changes to the educational process, patterns of communication, and the relationship between educators and students. The ease of obtaining information through the internet, social media, and various digital learning platforms offers great opportunities for improving the quality of education. However, this development also presents challenges to the formation of students' character and adab (proper conduct). Increasingly open and informal interaction has the potential to reduce respect for teachers, weaken communication ethics, and increase students' tendency to prioritize information over the process of character formation. This article aims to analyze the concept of adab in Islamic educational thought and examine its relevance in facing the development of education in the digital era. The research uses a qualitative approach with a library research method. Data were obtained from books, journal articles, and literature related to Islamic education, adab, and the thoughts of Islamic education figures. The analysis was conducted descriptively and analytically by identifying the main concepts of adab and connecting them with the reality of digital education. The results of the study show that adab in Islamic education is not only related to politeness in social relationships, but also encompasses respect for knowledge, teachers, and fellow human beings, as well as moral responsibility in the use of knowledge. This concept remains relevant in the digital era and is even becoming increasingly important because students face a vast flow of information, borderless communication, and the development of artificial intelligence. Islamic education needs to integrate digital literacy with the cultivation of adab so that technological progress produces students who are not only intellectually capable, but who also possess good character, responsibility, and morals

THE CONCEPT OF MAQASHID SYARIAH AS THE FOUNDATION OF CONTEMPORARY FIQH IJTIHAD

Hasanuddin — 2026-09-22

Maqashid syariah is one of the fundamental concepts in Islamic legal thought that holds an important position in the development of ijtihad, particularly in addressing various contemporary issues that are not explicitly found in classical sources of Islamic law. Social change, technological development, economic transformation, and the emergence of various new problems demand a legal approach capable of upholding the principles of syariah while also providing solutions to the needs of society. This article aims to analyze the concept of maqashid syariah as a foundation for contemporary fiqh ijtihad and to explain its relevance in responding to changes in modern life. This research uses a library research method with a qualitative-descriptive approach. Data were obtained from various literature related to maqashid syariah, ushul fiqh, the thought of classical and contemporary scholars, and studies on the development of modern fiqh. The results of the study show that maqashid syariah provides a methodological framework for mujtahids to understand the objectives, benefits (maslahah), and wisdom behind the provisions of syariah. The protection of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property forms the main foundation for safeguarding human welfare. In the contemporary context, the maqashid approach allows ijtihad to be carried out in a more contextual manner without neglecting the basic principles of syariah. Therefore, maqashid syariah can serve as one of the important foundations in the development of contemporary fiqh that is responsive to changes of the times, oriented toward the public good, and remains normatively legitimate within the tradition of Islamic law
