The idea of a "Clash of Civilizations" between Islam and the West has gained traction since the events of September 11, 2001. This has created a divide between two extreme viewpoints of the world, which leads to truth claims and terrorist action. Countries like Indonesia and Turkey, with large Muslim populations, play a significant role in Islamic moderate education to counter terrorism, so recently many Muslim students from various parts of the world have started going to Istanbul and Jakarta as destinations for studying Islam and are no longer only to Cairo and Medina. This is due to the relatively safe political and security conditions, and these cities' welcoming and inclusive atmosphere makes them attractive destinations for seeking a well-rounded academic experience. This research aims to compare the values of moderation in the Islamic education curricula of IHS Fatih Sultan Mehmet (Turkey) and MAN Insan Cendekia (Indonesia), as the most excellent Islamic high school lately. Qualitative methods were used in variants of case studies, from documents, books, and interviews, and data were collected, using component analysis, and theory triangulation was used for validation. The findings reveal that both educational systems emphasize moderation, but their cultural contexts differ. In Indonesia, moderation is linked to Pancasila values, while Turkey combines secular principles with Islamic values. The result of the study shows that Islamic education in Indonesia and Turkey is classified as moderate education with different parameters. The first must adapt to local wisdom, and the second must adapt to Islamic-secular identity.

A firm's financial report is the primary source of information that needs to be disclosed on time. However, some Islamic Commercial Banks are still late in reporting audited financial reports, which leads to issues of legitimacy and diminishes public trust in the accuracy and validity of these reports. The primary goal is to analyze the audit report lag and its relationship with the frequency of Sharia Supervisory Board meetings, profitability, solvency, and company size at Islamic Commercial Banks in Indonesia. The audit report lag is measured as the interval of days between the end of the fiscal period and the date of the audit report’s signature. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique, comprising 10 Islamic Commercial Banks that published financial reports from 2019 to 2023. The data analysis method used is panel data regression, performed with EViews 13 software. The study finds that the audit report lag for the selected sample ranges from the minimum period of book closing to a maximum of 3 months. The analysis reveals that the frequency of Sharia Supervisory Board meetings, profitability, and company size significantly affect the audit report lag. In contrast, solvency does not have a substantial impact on the audit report lag. Research using the variable of the frequency of Sharia Supervisory Board meetings is still limited. This study brings originality by measuring the influence of the frequency of Sharia Supervisory Board meetings, profitability, solvency, and company size on audit report lag, analyzed through a panel data regression model. To date, no one has conducted this kind of research.
