Abstract

This study aims to analyze the dialectic between traditional and modern Islamic education in Banten through a study of the leadership of KH. Ahmad Rifa’i Arief during the period 1990–1999, as well as the relevance of Mohammad Natsir’s educational thought in its development. Islamic educational institutions in Banten have a long history. In Banten, traditional Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) play a significant role in shaping the character of society. On the other hand, the rapidly developing currents of modernization and globalization demand that education undergo transformation in terms of systems and institutions. This study employs a qualitative method with a historical approach and a biographical study, relying on primary sources—namely interviews with the family, colleagues, and alumni of KH. Ahmad Rifa’i Arief—as well as secondary sources from relevant literature. The results of this study indicate that the leadership of KH. Ahmad Rifa’i Arief brought about reforms in Banten regarding pesantren traditions and modern education through the integration of religious and general curricula. Furthermore, Mohammad Natsir’s ideas on integral education are closely related to the educational concepts proposed by Kyai Rifa’i. Therefore, this study affirms that the educational model developed by KH. Ahmad Rifa’i Arief contributed to the renewal of Islamic education in Banten and remains relevant for the development of pesantren in the contemporary era.

Abstract

Pesantren as the oldest Islamic educational institution in Indonesia faces the challenge of modernity that demands reform without losing its traditional identity. K.H. Ahmad Rifa’i Arief pioneered an integrative pesantren education model through Daar el-Qolam Islamic Boarding School that combines tradition and modernity. The urgency of this research lies in the importance of understanding the mechanism of pesantren educational idea regeneration so that its sustainability is maintained amid changing times. This study aims to analyze the process of regenerating pesantren educational ideas through the role of Daar el-Qolam alumni in Lebak Regency. The research method used a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, document studies, and observations of nine alumni pesantren as well as the JAMDAL and KAL communities. The data analysis technique followed the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The results showed that idea regeneration takes place through three main mechanisms: (1) internalization of values and a cadre formation system at Daar el-Qolam as the epicenter of ideas; (2) replication and adaptation of the educational model by alumni in establishing new pesantren; and (3) the formation of mutually supportive pesantren networks and ecosystems. These findings demonstrate that alumni not only reproduce the educational model but also become agents of transformation who safeguard the dignity and identity of pesantren at the community level. The conclusion is that successful idea regeneration requires synergy among the parent pesantren, alumni, and the community in a sustainable tripartite symbiosis.
