This study investigates the role of the Khuruj Fi Sabilillah method, practiced by the Jamaah Tabligh movement, in developing the religious character of Muslim youth in Padang City. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive approach rooted in phenomenology and ethnography, data were gathered through in depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis involving both active and inactive youth participants, as well as organizational leaders. The findings demonstrate that the khuruj method significantly shapes youth religiosity, especially in the areas of congregational prayer, Qur'an recitation, dhikr, and night worship. Supporting factors include sincerity (ikhlas), spiritual concern (fikir risau), and peer solidarity, while hindrances such as post khuruj inconsistency, societal stigma, and modern distractions reduce long term impact. The study concludes that non formal, experiential spiritual education such as Khuruj Fi Sabilillah holds strategic value for youth moral development and offers implications for da???wah institutions, educators, and policymakers aiming to strengthen character education in Islamic contexts.

This research aims to understand the phenomenon of modern hedonism through the lens of Abdullah Saeed's contextual hermeneutics of Surah At-Takatsur in the Qur'an. The main focus of this research is to analyze how the interpretation of Surah At-Takatsur can provide deep insights into the hedonistic attitudes that are developing in contemporary society. The method used in this research is qualitative with a contextual hermeneutics approach, which emphasizes understanding the Qur'anic text within the current social and cultural context. Data were obtained through literature review and analysis of social phenomena such as wealth display on social media and consumption of luxury goods. This research reveals that the phenomenon of modern hedonism, reflected in various consumerist practices and displays of wealth, can be understood as a result of humanity's efforts to achieve high social status, without realizing that worldly life is temporary. Abdullah Saeed, in his hermeneutic analysis, emphasizes the importance of freeing oneself from the obsession with materialism and focusing on higher life goals, namely the attainment of true happiness through deeper relationships with God and fellow human beings.

The results show that the phenomenon of modern hedonism is rooted in the imbalance between material and spiritual needs. The practice of flaunting wealth on social media, excessive consumption, and obsession with branded goods reflect humanity's desire for social recognition, which often leads to dissatisfaction and inner turmoil. The implication of this research is the importance of character education that focuses on spiritual and social values, which can be initiated early in families.
