Abstract

This study aims to critically examine how Orientalist discourse is integrated into the formal curriculum of pesantren-based Islamic higher education institutions in Indonesia, with a specific focus on ISQI Sunan Pandanaran Yogyakarta. The main argument of this research is that Islamic universities—even those rooted in pesantren tradition—are capable of facilitating a productive encounter between faith and critical rationality within the academic sphere. Using a qualitative approach and data collection techniques such as classroom observation and interviews with the head of the Qur’anic Studies program and 54 ISQI students, the study finds that Orientalist materials actually encourage a recontextualization of Qur’anic studies that balances faith with critical reasoning. Student reception indicates growth in reflective, argumentative skills and openness to interdisciplinary approaches. The findings suggest that pesantren have significant potential to become spaces for global epistemic dialogue when supported by inclusive and reflective pedagogical structures. The study recommends further exploration of cross-discursive curricular dynamics in contemporary Islamic education.

Abstract

This article aims to explore makkalepu as a representation of Qur’anic reading epistemology within the cultural context of South Sulawesi, functioning as a medium for transmitting divine revelation through traditional praxis. The author argues that makkalepu is not merely a method for learning Arabic script (huruf hijaiyyah), but a form of lived knowledge embedded in the cultural space of Muslim communities. This study employs a qualitative approach using ethnographic methods. Data were collected from both fieldwork and textual sources, then analyzed through the lens of local epistemology. The article finds that makkalepu serves as a pedagogical method for Qur’anic instruction that contains a localized epistemological system in the process of transforming revelation into a lived Islamic tradition. As a form of living epistemology, makkalepu reflects the integration of Islamic values with the cultural fabric of South Sulawesi. Its presence affirms that Islamic epistemology is not ahistorical or purely ideal, but capable of evolving within rooted and dynamic cultural contexts. These findings are significant for the development of contemporary Islamic epistemology, particularly in highlighting how revelation is understood, experienced, and transmitted through localized and practical traditions.
