Learning, especially studying Koran, is obligatory for every Muslims. the condition of Muslim children at early age in urban areas especially in Bandung age 6 to 13 years allegedly almost 80% have not been able to read the Koran, therefore Al-Hadi Middle School (SMP) feels obliged to overcome these problems by requiring all students to learn read and write the Koran through Local Subject that is read and write the Koran. To achieve the effectiveness of learning, Al-Hidayah Method is used which is adjusted to the conditions and objectives of learning Read and Write Koran in school. The research used is Analytic Descriptive Method based on observation result, in-depth interview and test conducted. The result of this research shows Al-Hidayah method in Al-Hadi middle school implemented by using classical pattern, individual and cooperative learning. The obstacle is the lack of learning modules and not yet mastered the concept of learning the method of al-hidayah. While the superiority seen in the shortness of existing materials and exercises that enable students to achieve basic competence in reading and write Koran is shown from the number of students who can achieve the basic competencies that have been set.

Eaglewood (Gyrinops verstiigee) is one example of a commercially valuable aromatic plant in the form of agarwood. The high selling value of agarwood encourages people to use it. The distribution area of Agarwood-producing trees is found in several regions in Indonesia. One of agarwood producers has been widely exploited in West Nusa Tenggara Province. The problem is the number of population and the quality of agarwood production which is declining due to exploitation carried out continuously and excessively without calculations and improper harvesting techniques. Therefore, a forest management model that cares for sustainability, called a sustainable harvesting model, could be used. This research used harvesting matrix to build this model. This model considers the initial configuration of the forest to be the same as the final configuration of the forest, so that the harvesting could be done continuously without damaging the forest configuration. The location of data collection was conducted in several areas, such as Orong Puncak, Lembah Sari, Orong Selatan, Kekait, Sepakek, East Lombok, and Kerujuk. The data obtained were divided into 5 intervals based on the diameter of the eaglewood tree. The research found that the number of trees that could be harvested on one harvesting period at each interval of trees diameter, i.e. 0 tree in 0-10 cm interval; 388 trees in 10-20 cm interval; 270 trees in 20-30 cm interval; 17 trees in 30-40 cm interval; and 3 trees in 40-50 cm interval. Harvesting matrix could be used to help the government in order to build a strategy for the sustainability of eaglewood trees in Lombok Island.

Indonesia is one of the countries currently developing the concept of halal tourism. Halal tourism includes many variables that are related to each other, which need to be grouped into several main factors that affect tourist visits. This study was conducted to group the variables associated with halal tourism visits to Lombok Island using factor analysis and to classify sub-districts and halal tourism destinations on Lombok Island using the Plaid Bicluster algorithm. Based on the analysis using the main component extraction technique in factor analysis with varimax rotation, it can be concluded that the 9 halal tourism characteristic variables can be grouped into 2 main factors. Furthermore, by using the Plaid Bicluster algorithm, 2 Bicluster were produced. There were 7 sub-districts and 9 destinations formed in Bicluster I, and 8 sub-districts and 3 destinations formed in Bicluster II.

Purpose This study aims to analyze the effect of religiosity (RE), halal knowledge (HK) and halal certification (HC), attitudes, subjective norms and vaccine quality on the Muslim community’s intention to use halal vaccines in Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach This study involved 725 Muslim respondents in 32 Indonesian provinces. The model used was based on the theory of reasoned action development with the partial least squares structural equation modeling as the data processing tool. Findings The study discovered that RE, HK and HC did not affect the intention of Muslims to use halal vaccines. In addition, the MUI (Majelis Ulama Indonesia – Indonesia Council of Ulama) fatwa permitting the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine despite the haram ingredients was considered an excuse for Muslims to administer non-halal vaccines. However, several parties disagreed on the fatwa because the emergency legal standing for its permissibility did not apply to all regions. The reason was that each had different rates of confirmed cases, ranging from high-risk areas to those with zero confirmed Covid-19 cases. Originality/value This study examines the Muslim community’s intention toward using halal vaccines in several regions in Indonesia. In addition, this study conducted in-depth interviews as samples in several regions. This study also conducted interviews to determine the public’s views on government obligation about the Covid-19 vaccine. Finally, this study proposes a vaccine to avoid the possibility of controversy over the use of non-halal vaccines.
