While the secondary data sources are the results of interpretive research on the concept of tolerance and the use of loudspeakers in the Qur'an and other scientific writings.Considering the rules for using loudspeakers for mosques and prayer rooms, the issuance has a good purpose to realize environmental comfort and religious tolerance.

Debt innovates by employing technology that allows it to be conducted online. As a result, the debt procedure switches from debt recording to debt witnesses. The Quran's discussion of internet debt, particularly Surah Al-Baqarah: Verse 282, is the most commonly studied verse in muamalah studies. To address the issue of online debt, the author employed a literature review method combined with a contextual approach based on Surah Al-Baqarah verse 282. The findings showed that the internet debt was classified as a valid transaction in Al Munir's commentary of Ahkam if the debt testimony is in accordance with Al-Baqarah verse 282.
