Results 1 Basics and Understanding of Religious Education. The Basics and Understanding of Islamic Religious Education is a strong foundation in running an education system. Just as building a building requires a solid foundation, so does education require a clear foundation to achieve certain In the context of Islamic Religious Education, this foundation consists of two main elements: the Al-Qur'an and As-Sunnah. The Koran, as the holy book of Muslims, is the main guide in shaping personality and directing human life. The verses of the Qur'an provide guidance on faith, morals, worship, social affairs, and science. Surah Al-Luqman . describes the importance of teaching religion to children, including aspects of faith, morals, worship, social and scientific aspects. As-Sunnah, which is the teachings and practices of the Prophet Muhammad, explains in more detail the concepts contained in the Qur'an. The Sunnah is the second source of teachings after the Koran and provides concrete examples of how to carry out Islamic teachings. Ijtihad, as a form of effort to develop educational theory, is needed to detail and adapt the principles of the Qur'an and Sunnah to developing situations and conditions. In the context of Islamic Copyright A 2023 IJECS International Journal Education and Computer Studies (IJECS), 3 . 2023, 52-57 The Implementation of Religious Education to Support the Socialization of Islamic Sharia at Sabang City education, the word "education" in Arabic is called "Tarbiyah," which comes from the verb "A "Awhich has the meaning of educating, guiding, and caring. The Qur'an and Hadith mention the word "Tarbiyah" in their verses, such as Surah AlIsra' . which shows the importance of love and education given by parents to their children. Islamic religious education, seen in terms of terms, can be interpreted as conscious guidance given by educators to shape the Muslim personality. Muhammad Athiyyah Al-Abrasyi defines Islamic education as ideal education that includes knowledge and commendable Ahmad D. Marimba describes Islamic religious education as spiritual and physical guidance based on Islamic religious laws to shape a personality in accordance with Islamic teachings. Thus. Islamic Religious Education is a conscious effort to guide, educate and shape Muslim personalities based on the principles of the Qur'an and As-Sunnah. With this strong foundation, it is hoped that education can achieve the main goal, namely creating individuals who understand, appreciate and practice Islamic teachings so that they can achieve happiness in this world and the hereafter. 2 Goals of Religious Education Islamic religious education has solid and measurable goals, based on the values of the Koran and the Sunnah of the Prophet as a source of truth and strength. The basis of education is rooted in these two sources, making it a fundamental basis for forming human character. The Qur'an itself contains basic teachings that cover various aspects of life, including faith, morals, worship, social relations and science. In the basic context of Islamic education, the Qur'an is considered the word of Allah which provides the main guidance regarding faith, ethical behavior, obligations of worship, social norms, and the scope of knowledge. The existence of the Al-Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet as a basic foundation is the main guide in the process of forming individuals who believe, are devout and do good deeds. The aim of Islamic religious education is holistic, including the formation of true Muslim character with noble morals. This educational process is not only limited to school, but starts from an early age involving the role of family, school and the community environment. Apart from increasing religious knowledge, this education also places a strong emphasis on the formation of noble morals in accordance with the teachings of the Koran and Sunnah. This type of Islamic education objectives involve general objectives that cover all aspects of humanity, including attitudes, appearance, habits and views. The ultimate goal is to create perfect human beings who die in a state of submission to Allah. There are also temporary goals that can be seen after certain experiences in the formal education curriculum, as well as operational goals which are practical goals that are realized through educational activities by emphasizing abilities and skills. Islamic religious education is directed at forming people who are beneficial to themselves and society, and are able to practice Islamic teachings in everyday life. Through structured and measurable goals, this education aims to achieve happiness in this world and the hereafter, producing individuals who are not only intellectually competent but also have character that is in accordance with religious teachings. 3 Religious Education Teaching Methods Teaching methods in religious education, especially Islamic education, have an important role in shaping the character of students. Islamic education emphasizes choosing the right method, because a good and appropriate method will have a positive impact on achieving educational goals. Some methods that can be applied include the role model method, historical method, parable method, question and answer method, and memorization method. The role model method is an effective way to provide good role models for students to imitate and implement. Educators become role models who ensure the success of education in moral, spiritual, and social aspects. Good examples from parents and educators shape children's character, teach virtues, and create a positive environment. The historical method utilizes stories from the past, such as those found in the Koran, as a means of education. These stories help children in understanding moral values and guide their feelings. This method utilizes children's interest in stories to convey educational messages. The imagery method uses analogies or parables to convey educational messages with deep impact. Examples from the Qur'an, such as the parable of the spider in Surah Al-Ankabut, make a strong impression on students and shape positive attitudes and The question-and-answer method involves interaction between educators and students. Questions are asked to teach about a problem and stimulate children to think. This method also functions as a check on students' understanding and as a pre-test and post-test to evaluate the achievement of educational goals. The memorization method utilizes the child's memory power. Children are taught to memorize prayers and short letters in an interesting style, helping to hone thinking skills and remembering from an early age. This method has proven effective in understanding and mastering the knowledge of the Koran. Apart from these methods, there are also lecture, group, discussion, experiment, and dramatization methods that can be applied in religious education. All these methods have their respective roles in shaping students' character and understanding of religious values. Educators, both parents and teachers, have the responsibility to be good role models and choose appropriate methods to form a generation with character and noble morals. 4 Islamic Sharia Islamic Sharia has two main components: AuShariahAy and AuIslam. Ay Etymologically, "Shari'ah" comes from Arabic, which means "way. " In Islam. Sharia refers to the path to Allah SWT. Narrowly. Sharia covers the legal aspects of Islamic teachings, while broadly it covers all aspects of Islamic teachings. Several scholars such as Ibn Qoyyim al-Jauzi, alJuriani. Shaikh Mahmud Syaltut, and Gamal al-Banna, view Sharia as a multidimensional value system that includes the Copyright A 2023 IJECS International Journal Education and Computer Studies (IJECS), 3 . 2023, 52-57 The Implementation of Religious Education to Support the Socialization of Islamic Sharia at Sabang City relationship between humans and God, humans with humans, and humans with nature. In an effort to understand Sharia, scholars divide it into vertical Sharia, which involves legal aspects that are standard, and horizontal Sharia, which involves institutions that change according to conditions such as religious, political, economic and socio-cultural practice rules. Sharia becomes general values that regulate and liberate humans from misery and oppression, to achieve justice, freedom, tranquility, peace and respect for human values. Islam, according to Muhammad 'Imarah, is a religion that originates from God, but is oriented towards human values. From this definition, several points can be concluded. First. Shari'ah is divine, as the will of Allah which was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad SAW. Second. Sharia is normative and contains a package of values based on divine demands. Third. Sharia is comprehensive, covering various aspects of individual and societal life. Fourth. Sharia is organic and integral, forming a system that cannot be separated. Fifth. Sharia contains balanced elements between the permanent and the changeable. Islam, as the last religion revealed by Allah, guides humanity towards happiness in this world and the afterlife. Islamic teachings are found in the Al-Qur'an and Sunnah (Saheeh Hadith. , and are defined as God's guidance and rules that cover all aspects of life. In simple terms. Islam is God's guidance and rules that guide human behavior in relation to God, oneself, fellow humans and the environment. Thus. Islamic Sharia is the law that regulates all Islamic teachings, including Aqidah. Worship. Mu'amalah, and Morals. 5 Factors that Influence the Implementation of Islamic Sharia Factors that influence the implementation of Islamic Sharia in Aceh Province involve regulations such as Law No. of 2001 and Regional Regulation Number 5 of 2000. These laws stipulate aspects of the implementation of Islamic Sharia, including sharia justice 'at, with a focus on Aqidah. Worship. Mu'amalah. Morals. Islamic Education and Da'wah. Baitul Mal. Society. Islamic Sharia. Islamic Defense. Qadha. Jinayat. Munakahat, and Mawaris. In practice, the implementation of Islamic Sharia in Aceh has detailed guidelines, including the obligation for every person or legal entity residing in the area to obey, practice and carry out Islamic Sharia in a kaffah manner. Non-Muslim citizens are expected to respect the implementation of Islamic Sharia. Various areas of life, such as Aqidah. Worship. Mu'amalah. Morals, and others, are regulated in detail. For example, the Aqidah sector emphasizes the obligation of every Muslim to strengthen the Islamic faith, while the Worship sector regulates the procedures for carrying out worship in accordance with the guidance of Islamic law. However, several obstacles also influence the implementation of Islamic Sharia, including, among others, the persistence of customary law in society, the failure of other regions as examples of implementation, misunderstanding among leaders, as well as differences in understanding among scholars and ulama regarding the meaning and scope of Sharia. Islam. Even though there are laws and regulations, the challenges of implementing Islamic Sharia in Aceh still involve efforts to overcome these obstacles. Conclusion Based on the results of this research, it can be concluded that the implementation of religious education teaching by teachers in Sabang City has a focus in supporting the socialization of the implementation of Islamic law. Teachers are identified as important agents in this process, teaching students the concepts of aqidah, worship, and morals, as well as providing guidance regarding Islamic obligations. The discussion method in Islamic studies is an effective approach in implementing teaching. Factors that influence the implementation of Islamic law involve all components of society, including teachers, parents, local communities, and regional leaders. Obstacles such as attachment to custom, lack of understanding of Islamic law, and differences in views between scholars and ulama are challenges that need to be To improve the implementation of religious education teaching and support the socialization of Islamic law in Sabang City, concrete efforts are needed. One suggestion is to improve the quality of Islamic teaching by teachers through training and increasing competence. Apart from that, it is recommended that school principals provide special time for students to discuss Islamic law more intensively, so that these values can be better understood and applied in everyday The synergy between school and family also needs to be strengthened, with parents continuing to provide reminders to their children to comply with the implementation of Islamic law. It is hoped that good communication between teachers and parents can become a solid foundation in forming Islamic character in students. It is hoped that this conclusion can provide a comprehensive view regarding the role of teachers and the influencing factors in the context of implementing Islamic law, as well as providing direction for steps for future improvement and development.
