: This article aims to analyze Saladin Ayyubi's letters to the Abbasid Caliphate in Baghdad through creative reading to explore embedded ideas reflected within the lines and highlight fragmented ideas and hidden agendas the lexical choices hold within. A historical and analytical approach was used to read, characterize and analyze the letters and examine evidence to come to an understanding of the past. The results revealed that the most prominent historical resources that recorded Saladin's life and letters rely primarily on Abū Shāma's The Book of the Two Gardens on the History of the Two Reigns. Moreover, the ensuing impacts of Saladin's letters had contributed to the establishment of Saladin's state and the expansion of the Abbasid Caliphate on the west side. Maintaining good relations with the Abbasid Caliphate greatly benefited Saladin in his conflict with Muslim princes who opposed him and vowed for power, including the Zengids. Saladin wanted his legitimacy claimed by the Abbasid Caliphate, though he knew its weakness. Saladin's letters to the Caliphate are found scattered in Islamic Heritage books such as Ibn Wasil's Mufarrij al-kurūb fī akhbār banī Ayyub and al-Qalqashandi's Subh al-A'sha by al-Qalqashandi. The Arabic and Islamic worlds were at their cultural peak during the High Middle Ages, they exchanged information and creations via Al-Andalus, Sicily, and the Crusader kingdoms in the Levant. A lot of literature has been dedicated to study and analyzing Saladin Ayyubi. Such studies have provided information about the Abbasid Era in general and the Ayyubi Era in particular. Nevertheless, no particular study was dedicated to the unique relations between Salah al-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyubi, commonly known as Saladin, and the Abbasid Caliphate, significantly that the relations had been consolidated through formal correspondences through al-Ḳāḍī al-Fāḍil, the Excellent Judge, who was the vizier of Sultan Saladin.
本文旨在通过创造性阅读来分析萨拉丁·阿尤比写给巴格达阿阿巴斯哈里发的信件，以探索字里行间所反映的隐含思想，并突出其中的词汇选择所包含的碎片化思想和隐藏的议程。使用历史和分析方法来阅读，描述和分析信件，并检查证据以了解过去。结果显示，记录萨拉丁生活和信件的最重要的历史资源主要依赖于阿布·Shāma的《两园之书》。此外，萨拉丁书信的后续影响对萨拉丁国家的建立和阿拔斯哈里发在西部的扩张做出了贡献。与阿巴斯王朝的哈里发保持良好的关系使萨拉丁在与反对他并发誓要掌权的穆斯林王子(包括曾吉人)的冲突中受益匪浅。萨拉丁希望他的合法性得到阿巴斯哈里发的承认，尽管他知道它的弱点。萨拉丁写给哈里发的信件散落在伊斯兰遗产书籍中，如伊本·瓦西尔的《Mufarrij al-kurūb f ā akhbār banu ā Ayyub》和al-Qalqashandi的《Subh al-A'sha》。阿拉伯和伊斯兰世界在中世纪鼎盛时期处于文化的巅峰，他们通过安达卢斯、西西里岛和黎凡特的十字军王国交换信息和创造。很多文献都致力于研究和分析萨拉丁·阿尤比。这些研究提供了关于阿巴斯时代的总体信息，特别是阿尤比时代的信息。然而，没有专门研究Salah al- din Yusuf ibn Ayyubi(俗称萨拉丁)与阿巴斯王朝哈里发之间的独特关系，值得注意的是，这种关系是通过al-Ḳāḍī al-Fāḍil的正式通信得到巩固的，他是苏丹萨拉丁的维齐尔。

The study expresses the importance of implementing early childhood sex education for Muslim teachers in Indonesia based on children’s cognitive and sexual development. A qualitative study with a phenomenological design was conducted to explore sexual education provided by teachers through purposive sampling and in-depth interviews. The participants of the study were teachers and principals of two kindergarten schools in Semarang. The results showed that each school has its own learning system and strategy to implement sexual education. The schools developed sexual education themes from teacher training programs. The teachers provided sexual education materials such as aurat introduction, introductory names of genitalia, self-introduction, instructions on changing clothes, toilet training, and information about appropriate behavior, mother’s pregnancy, and childbirth. In addition, school-based sexual education should be adjusted to children’s needs, language skills, and age-appropriateness. The combination of learning methods in parenting and educational guidance can develop child sexual education. The result shows that Muslim teachers taught sexual education to their students in accordance with culture and society norms.

: Communication models have historically been used by communication scholars and professionals to capture and understand the intricacies of the communication process. In the current digitalized and globalized communication environment, communication models can still be seen as valuable tools, but as communication technology enjoys various evolutions, some recalibration and reconceptualization is required to effectively explain and use communication models. A considerable number of studies have focused on digitalization and its effects on the communication process. By reviewing communication models in light of digital global communication, this study aims to appraise the continued relevance of communication models and recommend new perspectives for their use. This paper reviews four classic communication models in view of recent evolutions in communication technology that enable digital global communication. The paper also considers the interplay of culture and digitization on the communication process
