The research method used is descriptive and qualitative analysis with a historical approach, namely by collecting library data from various written sources so that the discussion is carried out qualitatively or using textual descriptions and writing and searching for obtained data through documents, especially documents written in scientific papers.

During the reign of three sultans, a prominent scholar emerged and had a scientific reputation in the field of Ushuluddin science, namely Faqih Jalaluddin. During the reign of Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin Jayo Wikramo, a brilliant scholar named Sheikh Sihabuddin bin Abdullah Muhammad emerged. A charismatic cleric who was also a relative of the Palembang palace, namely Kemas Fakhruddin, also appeared during the reign of Sultan Ahmad Najamuddin I. Meanwhile, a very productive great cleric named Sheikh Abdul Shamad al-Palimbani emerged and became popular during the reign of Sultan Muhammad Bahauddin. The sultanate's role was huge in developing Islamic education by supporting intellectual traditions to produce qualified scholars with a high scientific reputation in the Islamic religion.

Lika Widiawati, Firman — Thu, 10 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Violence among adolescents is an increasingly complex phenomenon, including relational aggression, which often goes undetected due to its covert nature. Relational aggression can have serious consequences, such as depression and even suicidal tendencies among victims. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of group counseling services using the Cognitive Behavior Modification (CBM) approach in preventing relational aggression among students at SMK 6 Padang. This study employs a quantitative research method with a quasi-experimental design in the form of a pretest-posttest control group design. The research sample consists of 12 students divided into experimental and control groups, each comprising six students, selected using a stratified random sampling technique. The research instrument utilizes a Likert scale, while data analysis is conducted using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test and the Mann-Whitney Test. The findings indicate that group counseling services using the CBM approach significantly reduce relational aggression in the experimental group compared to the control group. These results affirm that the CBM approach is effective in modifying students’ thought patterns and behaviors related to relational aggression. The implications of this study provide recommendations for guidance and counseling teachers to implement CBM-based group counseling services as an intervention strategy for addressing relational aggression in the school environment.

This study aims to analyze the role of premarital education and guidance outcomes in building family harmony and supporting national resilience. The family as the smallest social unit has a strategic role in creating a strong and stable society, which in turn supports national resilience. To achieve this goal, the research used a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach that utilized PRISMA guidelines in identifying, screening and synthesizing relevant literature. Through in-depth analysis, the study found that premarital education and guidance play a crucial role in shaping individuals' mindsets and skills, which are essential in leading a harmonious married life. Moreover, these programs are designed to equip prospective couples with the knowledge and skills necessary to create a balanced and healthy relationship, ultimately contributing to national resilience. The government has an important role in developing effective strategies through premarital education and guidance programs, including increased accessibility, integration of family policies, and program monitoring and evaluation. This comprehensive approach is expected to create stable and productive families, which are the foundation for national resilience. This study suggests strengthening policies and programs on premarital education and guidance, increasing accessibility, especially in remote areas, effective monitoring and evaluation, and improving the quality of human resources through training premarital counselors. In conclusion, premarital education and guidance play an important role in maintaining family harmony and strengthening national resilience.
