Abstract

This article discusses how Islamic education changed from the beginning, that is, from the time of the Prophet Muhammad. In the period of the Prophet Muhammad, Islamic education started in a simple way and focused on its inhabitants. In the world of Islamic education, the Prophet Muhammad was the first and foremost teacher. The Prophet Muhammad saw as uswatun hasanah and rahmatan lil'alamin for those who expect grace in the world of Islamic education. The process of change of spiritualism internalization of values and emotional guidance of the Prophet is an extraordinary miracle that cannot be achieved by ordinary people. Islamic education taught at the time of the Prophet was carried out in two stages. Education began in Mecca, which was the initial stage, and education in Medina, which was the second stage of education as an improvement in the guidance of Islamic education. The educational methods used include direct teaching, discussion, and exemplary examples. The results showed that Islamic education in the period of the Prophet succeeded in forming the first generation of Muslims who were noble and knowledgeable.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the readiness of organizational resources of PCNU Bandung City in the plan to establish a higher education institution and to map the challenges of institutional stagnation amidst modernity and the competitive urban higher education environment. This research employed a qualitative approach using a field research design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observation, and documentation involving twelve key informants representing the Syuriyah council, Tanfidziyah executive board, and the Nahdlatul Ulama Higher Education Institution (LPTNU) of PCNU Bandung City. Data validity was ensured through source triangulation, member checking, and prolonged engagement in the field. Data analysis followed the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model, consisting of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the absence of a physical higher education institution directly managed by PCNU Bandung City does not indicate complete institutional stagnation. Instead, it represents an internal consolidation strategy adopted by the organization. PCNU Bandung City prioritizes strengthening human resource capacity through the PD-PKPNU cadre development program, academic resource mapping, and the maturation of institutional design before accelerating physical infrastructure development. The SWOT analysis indicates that the organization’s primary strengths lie in its strong mass base and the authority of ulama figures, while its weaknesses relate to financial independence and uneven managerial capacity. Therefore, the current incubation phase is interpreted as a defensive-rational strategy to transform socio-cultural capital into professional institutional capacity in order to face the intense competition of higher education in urban settings
