The questionnaires are designed to measure students' perceptions and satisfaction levels as well as the effectiveness of Project Based Learning (PjBL) implementation from the teachers' perspective. In addition, additional data will be collected through document analysis, such as student project results, teacher evaluation reports, and classroom observation notes. The collected data will be analyzed using descriptive statistics to describe the frequency distribution, percentage, mean, and standard deviation of the variables studied. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of Project Based Learning (PjBL) is effective in improving students' understanding of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teaching materials. Students are actively involved in learning, increase motivation, and develop critical, creative, and collaborative skills. Challenges such as limited resources, lack of teacher training, and difficulty designing evaluation instruments according to the Project Based Learning (PjBL) context were also identified.

This is because the teachings of Sufism emphasize the integration of Sufi values ??into social life, which can help fight extremism, radicalism and intolerance. This research aims to examine the values ??of moderation from Imam al-Ghazali's perspective contained in the book Bidayah al-Hidayah. Al-Ghazali, as one of the great figures in the history of Islamic thought, emphasized the importance of balance in various aspects of religious life, including worship, morality and social interaction. Using a qualitative approach, this research analyzes the texts in Bidayah al-Hidayah to identify the principles of moderation proposed by al-Ghazali. The results of the analysis show that al-Ghazali prioritizes values ??such as Tawazun (balance), Tasamuh (tolerance), I'tidal (justice/putting things in their place), and looking for a middle way (Tawasuth) avoiding extremism in worship and interacting with other people. to achieve a harmonious life. By strengthening the principles of moderation, Muslims are expected to be able to overcome the challenges of division and conflict in diverse societies. It is hoped that these findings can contribute to the development of moderate thinking in Islam and increase awareness of the importance of these values ??in everyday life</p> Onrico Candra, Linda Suanti, Khairul Amar Mohamad Copyright (c) 2025 Onrico Candra, Linda Suanti, Khairul Amar Mohamad https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 http://ejournal.staipiq.ac.id/index.php/injou/article/view/167 Sat, 18 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000 The Values of Teachers' Soft Skills and Hard Skills in Surah Al-Fatihah from The Perspective of Islamic Education http://ejournal.staipiq.ac.id/index.php/injou/article/view/174 <p>Surat al-Fatihah is known as the mother of the Quran, which also contains educational objectives.

This research uses a qualitative design with literature study. The verses about zarrah are studied thematically using relevant scientific analysis.

The results of the research are as follows (1) an atom is called the lafadz dzarrah, which means the smallest object that cannot be divided further. lafadz dzarrah is also expressed as the smallest ant (ant's head), in essence lafadz dzarrah is used to visualize something very small. Likewise, Greek scientists stated that atoms were the smallest particles and could not be divided further. With the development of science, research has been discovered which suggests that atoms are divided into three constituent parts, namely protons, electrons and neutrons. (2) The interpretation made by the mufassir of the word zarrah has relevance to the development of science. Mufassir's interpretation of the word zarrah has led scientific experts to research more comprehensively the smallest object in the world.
