<![CDATA[This article provides an in-depth discussion on the integration of Al-Islam and Kemuhammadiyahan (AIK) values with educational sciences as an embodiment of Muhammadiyah’s ideology in building a progressive civilization. The focus of the study is directed toward an ideological analysis and strategic contributions of Muhammadiyah in combining spiritual principles, social ethics, and the development of scientific knowledge through the education system. This research employs a qualitative approach based on literature studies, examining Muhammadiyah’s ideological documents such as Matan Keyakinan dan Cita-Cita Hidup Muhammadiyah (MKCH), Muqaddimah Anggaran Dasar Muhammadiyah, and the Pedoman Hidup Islami Warga Muhammadiyah, as well as various relevant contemporary educational theories. The findings indicate that the integration of AIK values in education serves as a foundation for the formation of Islamic character, the strengthening of academic morality, and the advancement of knowledge oriented toward the welfare of society and technological progress. This approach positions education as an instrument of enlightening da’wah that synergizes mastery of modern scientific knowledge with the values of tauhid, amar ma’ruf nahi munkar, and the spirit of tajdid (renewal). Muhammadiyah’s strategic contributions in this context are manifested through curriculum reform, the strengthening of teacher and educational staff capacities, the creation of an academic environment conducive to spiritual development, and the implementation of research and innovation based on Islamic values. Such integration not only impacts the formation of generations with Islamic character and academic excellence but also produces an educational model that is adaptive to the development of science and technology without losing its ideological value orientation. This article recommends strengthening the interdisciplinary AIK-based curriculum, continuous training for lecturers and teachers on integrative approaches, and the development of research collaboration networks that combine Islamic values with educational innovation. In doing so, Muhammadiyah education is capable of producing individuals who are faithful, knowledgeable, charitable, and prepared to face global challenges.]]>
