This article intends to synthesise the results of various studies related to the influence of religiosity on life satisfaction, with the aim of mapping how religiosity variables influence people’s life satisfaction in multiple countries. Additionally, this study seeks to identify the development of research issues regarding religiosity and life satisfaction. For this reason, a meta-analysis approach was applied to synthesise 21 articles quantitatively, and the systematic literature review (SLR) approach was used to narrate the development of issues concerning religiosity and life satisfaction in 40 articles. In general, this study succeeds in demonstrating that the influence of the religiosity variable on life satisfaction in various study samples is linear and has a positive effect.Contribution: The dimensions of religiosity and life satisfaction are still very limited to the characteristics of disciplines attached to researchers. This resulted in the dimension being repeatedly used (redundancy) in various studies, resulting in the second dimension of the issue (i.e., religiosity and life satisfaction) being less developed. Therefore, it contributes to the issues as a foundation of new directions, i.e., emic perspectives, in understanding the relationship between religiosity and life satisfaction.

Students' collaborative thinking skills in the elementary schools still need attention to be improved. Most elementary school students have difficulty in cultivating this skill. Even though, this skill is one of the 21st century skills, namely 4C (creative thinking skill, critical thinking skill, communication skill and collaborative thinking skill). This study aims to improve the students collaboration thinking skills under the implementation of a cooperative learning type, namely a quantum teaching model. This research was conducted by using quasi experiment in the form of non-equivalent (pre-test and post-test) control group design. The sample in this study were students of the Integrated Islamic Elementary School, Al-Musabbihin, Medan City, totaling 55 students. To test the difference of the students' collaborative thinking skills in the control class and experiment class under the implementation of quantum teaching model, we used statistics analysis tools, namely homogeneity test and independent sample t-test. The results of Levene Statistic for homogeneity test showed a significance value of 0.762 > 0.05, which means the two classes are homogeneous. The independent sample t-test showed that the score is 0.007 < 0.05, which implies the difference between the two classes is significant. It concludes that the implementation of quantum teaching model can improve the students' collaboration thinking skills in Islamic Religious Education Learning. Therefore, increasing the teachers skills in developing quantum teaching learning materials needs to be improved simultaneously through government policy programs or independently through deliberation activities for teachers of Islamic religious education subjects.

One of the problems that always exists in every human being is negative emotions. This study aims to find out how to control emotions in the Qur’an through deepening the meaning of the word kaẓim with the sematic approach of Thosihiko Izutsu. This term is repeated 6 times which is covered in 6 surahs. Each verse contained in various surahs certainly has a different meaning, so it requires a deep understanding. The semantics of the Qur’an according to Izutsu is an attempt to reveal the world view (weltanschauung) through semantic analysis of the vocabulary or key terms of the Qur’an. The process carried out in this research is to examine the basic meaning, relational meaning, and historical meaning of the word kaẓim. The result of this research is that the word kaẓim based on the semantic analysis of Toshihiko Izutsu is a word that contains full meaning and closes it tightly. Signaling unfriendly feelings in one’s heart either because of anger, sadness, disappointment, shame, fear, and irritation, his mind is always demanding revenge, but he holds those feelings in his heart. Therefore, there are 4 ways to control emotions in kaẓim terms, namely, with prayer, dzikrullah, patient, and silence.
