    In this edition, we highlight important issues related to the management of Islamic educational institutions based on religious moderation, the teaching of character and etiquette for teachers and students based on the study of the book "Dawâul Qulûb ilâ Allâm al-Ghuyûb," as well as the ideal orientation for quality management of Islamic education in the disruptive era. Additionally, we also explore strengthening students' characters through integrated Indonesian language education, mainstreaming religion in the digital realm for university students, strategies for enhancing scientific literacy in madrasas in the digital era, and the significance of religious moderation in building solidarity through ethics and politics.

    Through these various articles, we hope to provide useful insights and a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by Islamic educational institutions, as well as the role of religion in modern life. These articles are also expected to contribute to practitioners, academics, and policymakers involved in the development of Islamic education.

    Happy reading, and may the articles in this journal provide valuable inspiration and understanding. We hope this journal can serve as a means to support the development of sustainable and high-quality religious policies.
