  3. Results: findings without interpretation, supported by tables or figures.
  4. Discussion: interpretation of findings, comparison with previous research, and connection with Islamic educational values or evidence.
  5. Conclusion: narrative paragraph without bullet points, ending with implications for teachers, madrasahs, pesantren, schools, or parents.

  • Hadith is written in Arabic with a translation and an in-text reference identifying the compiler and number, for example (HR. al-Bukhārī, no. 1). Only sahih and hasan hadith are used as normative foundations.
  • Arabic terms not standardized in Indonesian are italicized and transliterated according to the Indonesian Joint Ministerial transliteration system, for example ta'dīb and tarbiyah.
  • References are alphabetized, use hanging indentation, and include DOI where available.
