In the opening of the FDI (Faculty of Islamic Studies) Student Study Acceleration Webinar, Aida Humairah S.S.I., M.A. briefly addressed some of the challenges faced by students working on their theses and provided possible solutions. One of the challenges mentioned was the students' feelings of laziness and anxiety, which hinder the progress of their thesis writing. Finding diligent study partners and boosting self-confidence could be some of the solutions.

Next, the second speaker, Muhammad Sofi Mubarok, S.S.I., M.H.I., an FDI alumnus from the class of 2006, presented tips on how to write a good and proper thesis, particularly for FDI students. He started by explaining that, before developing writing ideas, students should have a fundamental assumption regarding the issue they will study, in order to prevent their writing from diverging into irrelevant directions, which could hinder the development of their thesis. One of the most crucial parts of a thesis is the research problem. It is important to determine whether the issue being examined is a new or old one. This is a point of attention for both faculty and students, as it’s common for theses to only discuss mundane matters, such as the benefits of repeating the verse "fabi ayyi aala irobbikuma tukaddziban" in Surah Ar-Rahman.

During the presentation, Sofi also emphasized that it would be beneficial if the issues addressed in a thesis align with societal problems, so that the thesis could have a positive impact, such as becoming a reference for solving existing problems. He then outlined four other factors that influence the quality of a thesis: determining methodology and analysis, selecting the approach and conceptual framework, reviewing the issue to avoid ending up with a mere improvement of previous students' theses, and finally, the findings and recommendations.

At the end of his presentation, Sofi motivated thesis writers to complete their studies at FDI as soon as possible. “The cost of living in Jakarta is not cheap. We never know where our parents might have borrowed money from. The longer you stay in school, the longer you burden your parents,” he said as he concluded his presentation.
