Abstract

Indonesia is known for its rich local wisdom, including in Islamic education practices. However, the tide of modernization has eroded some of these values. In fact, local wisdom has unique characteristics that can be preserved to strengthen the Islamic values of students. This study analyzes the role of the Majelis Taklim Keluarga Sakinah as a non-formal educational institution in improving the quality of family life, particularly in spiritual, social, and economic aspects. This study uses a qualitative research method based on case studies, with a focus on the various Islamic education programs implemented by the Sakinah Family Majelis Taklim. The results reveal that participation in Majelis Taklim activities has a positive impact on understanding Islamic values, strengthening family harmony, and increasing social awareness. Additionally, it contributes to improving economic well-being and providing social security for its members. The implications of this study indicate that the Majelis Taklim serves as a non-formal educational institution and a social transformation agent in building harmonious families. These findings support Jack Mezirow's theory of transformative learning, which emphasizes the importance of critical reflection in changing individual perspectives. Support from various stakeholders is needed to strengthen the role of the Majelis Taklim in improving the quality of life for Muslim families.

Abstract

This study delves into the lived experiences of students in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in Mandailing Natal to explore the internalization of discipline, independence, and simplicity. While pesantren are crucial for cultivating Islamic values, they face growing pressures from modernization and the erosion of local traditions. Employing a hermeneutic phenomenological approach, which emphasizes the interpretation of lived experiences to uncover deeper layers of meaning beyond descriptive accounts, this study seeks to understand not only what students experience but also how they make sense of those experiences within their cultural and spiritual contexts. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. eyond these credibility strategies, the interpretative process followed three interrelated steps characteristic of hermeneutic phenomenology and IPA: reduction, thematization, and reflective interpretation of meaning. The findings demonstrate that character formation is a process of continuous habituation and integration with local wisdom. Discipline is cultivated through structured daily routines, independence is fostered by self-reliance, and simplicity emerges from communal living and a unique senior-junior mentoring system. This study argues that the pesantren system, through its reliance on practical engagement and local cultural practices, provides a powerful counter-narrative to the depersonalizing effects of globalization, shaping students' moral and spiritual resilience. The results offer specific insights for educators and policymakers on strengthening a form of character education that is both culturally rooted and contextually relevant for Indonesian students.

With a qualitative descriptive method, data is collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis, then analyzed thematically. The results of the study show that the values of holong and domu are applied in social relations between mora, kahanggi, and anakboru through the example of parents and the community. These examples include respect for mora, affection for anakboru, and friendship with kahanggi, all of which support the building of religious character based on local culture.

Abstract

The command to teach prayer is actually a philosophy that is very meaningful, because it is from prayer that all goodness starts. The punch in question is tarbiyah (education), not a blow that is dangerous because ofemotional. Considering the importance of strengthening the foundations of Islamic creed and mental formation of morality for children, on the other hand the enormous challenges of the effects of globalization of technology and information are very massive, so there is no other choice that the revitalization of religious education must be echoed. This calls for the participation of all education holders, especially the local government and non-formal figures in the community because without the support of all lines, the big goal could not be realized. Mandailing Christmas is not only enough to have the jargon of the City of Santri, the foyer of the mecca of Sumatra etc. without making anticipatory efforts of the dangers of Drugs etc. that are in sight.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing parents' preferences in choosing MTsN 2 Mandailing Natal as an educational institution for their children, and how these preferences reflect the community's orientation toward religion-based education. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with in-depth interviews with 30 parents who chose MTsN 2 as a school for their children. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, where informants were selected based on certain criteria relevant to the research focus. Data analysis was conducted using interactive qualitative analysis techniques, through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that parents' preferences for MTsN 2 Mandailing Natal are not only based on religious reasons, but also on academic factors, teacher role models, student discipline, and the safety of the school environment. Most parents chose MTsN 2 because of the religious values ​​taught at the madrasah, which are considered to help shape children's character and morals. In addition, parents feel that MTsN 2 is better able to maintain discipline and protect their children from negative influences often found in public schools. These findings illustrate that parental preferences are more complex and based on a more holistic combination of rational and social factors. This research contributes to the development of Islamic education theory by emphasizing the importance of balancing academic education and religious-based character development in educational institutions. The practical implication of these findings is the importance for madrasah administrators to continuously improve the quality of educational services, focusing not only on academic aspects but also on character development and strengthening religious values.

Abstract

The shortage of qualified ‘ulamâ’ in Indonesia remains a serious concern. This study examines the ulama regeneration initiative at MA Al-Azhar Asy-Syarif, which integrates the National, Cambridge, and Azhari curriculums. Using a qualitative design, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis involving institutional leaders and curriculum managers. The findings show that curriculum planning is conducted collaboratively with academic validation from Al-Azhar University, producing a design that balances textual and rational sciences within the moderation paradigm. Implementation involves the use of classical texts, intensive language reinforcement, study circle activities, and a text-based learning model while responding to contemporary needs. Evaluation is carried out through continuous monitoring to maintain alignment with learning objectives and competency standards. The study demonstrates that the model offers strategic potential for strengthening ‘ulamâ’ regeneration in Indonesia. These findings contribute to curriculum management theory in Islamic education and provide practical insights for institutions engaged in developing future ‘ulamâ’.Keywors: Regeneration, ‘Ulamâ’, madrasah, Azhari Curriculum
