Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji konsep pendidikan holistik dalam pemikiran Imam Al-Ghazali dengan menekankan integrasi akal, ruh, dan etika sebagai pilar utama dalam pembentukan manusia paripurna (insan kamil). Metode yang digunakan adalah studi kepustakaan melalui analisis kritis terhadap karya-karya Al-Ghazali, khususnya Ihya’ Ulum al-Din. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa akal dipandang sebagai instrumen untuk memperoleh pengetahuan dan membedakan kebenaran dari kesalahan, namun ia tidak cukup bila tidak diarahkan oleh nilai-nilai ruhani. Dimensi ruh berfungsi sebagai penghubung manusia dengan Tuhan, sehingga ilmu tidak hanya bersifat kognitif tetapi memiliki makna transendental. Sementara itu, etika merupakan tujuan akhir pendidikan, yaitu terwujudnya ilmu dalam perilaku dan akhlak mulia. Ketiga aspek tersebut saling berkelindan membentuk proses pendidikan yang utuh dan seimbang. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa gagasan Al-Ghazali relevan dengan tantangan pendidikan modern, terutama dalam menyeimbangkan kecerdasan intelektual, kedalaman spiritual, dan kematangan moral. Dengan demikian, pendidikan tidak hanya menghasilkan individu berprestasi akademik, tetapi juga pribadi yang beriman, berakhlak, dan bermanfaat bagi dirinya, masyarakat, serta Tuhannya.

Abstract

This article examines ethno-parenting in Islamic education as a contextual model for cultivating children’s moderate attitudes within Indonesian Muslim families. The background of the study arises from concerns about intolerance and rigid religious interpretations among youth, highlighting the need to strengthen moderation from the earliest educational environment, namely the family. Ethno-parenting is understood as a parenting pattern that integrates Qur’anic–prophetic values with local cultural wisdom that aligns with sharia. This study employs a qualitative library research design by analyzing accredited journal sources related to Islamic parenting, local cultural values, and religious moderation. Data were collected through systematic documentation and analyzed using thematic content analysis to identify intersections between Islamic educational principles and cultural practices in family life. The findings reveal that spiritual habituation, moral-social cultivation, and dialogic-democratic parenting methods embedded in local traditions create a lived environment where children internalize tolerance, empathy, balance, and non-violence. The discussion confirms that moderation is effectively formed through daily cultural-religious practices rather than doctrinal instruction alone. In conclusion, ethno-parenting offers a coherent framework that unites religion, culture, and parenting practice as the foundation for shaping moderate dispositions from early childhood in Indonesian Muslim families

Abstract

This study examines the modernization of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning materials in fostering students’ religious character at SD IT Al-Washliyah Hamparan Perak. The research aims to analyze the forms of media modernization applied in PAI instruction, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and assess its implications for students’ religious character development. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through observations, interviews, and documentation involving PAI teachers and school administrators. The findings indicate that teachers integrate various digital media, including interactive applications, animated learning videos, and instructional social media platforms, to enhance students’ learning engagement and comprehension. The use of digital media not only increases students’ interest in PAI lessons but also facilitates the internalization of religious values such as integrity, responsibility, and self-discipline. Supporting factors include teachers’ pedagogical competence and strong institutional support, while constraints mainly involve limited technological facilities and unequal levels of teachers’ digital literacy. This study contributes by offering a practical model of PAI learning media modernization and highlighting its pedagogical implications for character education in elementary schools. Overall, the modernization of PAI learning materials is shown to be effective in creating meaningful learning experiences that support the development of students’ religious character.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the paradigm of Islamic education philosophy in the development of religious moderation as a conceptual and praxis foundation in building inclusive, tolerant, and civilized religious attitudes in the midst of a multicultural society. The paradigm of Islamic educational philosophy studied includes ontological, epistemological, and axiological dimensions derived from the Qur'an, Sunnah, as well as the thoughts of Muslim philosophers and scholars, which place human beings as beings of nature, reason, and morality. This study uses a qualitative approach with the type of library research through a critical analysis of classical and contemporary literature that is relevant to the concept of Islamic education and religious moderation. The results of the study show that the paradigm of Islamic education philosophy essentially contains the principles of tawasuth (moderate), tawazun (balanced), tasamuh (tolerant), i'tidal (fair), and musawah (egalitarian) which can be integrated into the curriculum, learning process, and academic culture of educational institutions. Epistemologically, the integration between revelation and reason is an important foundation in building a moderate mindset that is dialogical and contextual, while axiologically, universal human values are the main orientation in the formation of students' characters. Thus, the paradigm of Islamic education philosophy has strategic relevance in strengthening religious moderation as a preventive effort against radicalism, intolerance, and social polarization, as well as as the foundation for the development of a harmonious and sustainable civilization.

Abstract

Islamic Religious Education (IRE) in the modern era is often trapped in an approach that is overly textual, dogmatic, and focused solely on legal aspects (fiqh) and rituals. This results in the marginalisation of the metaphysical dimensions of Islam—such as the concept of divinity (uluhiyah), the nature of humanity, the unseen world, the purpose of creation, and the spiritual relationship with Allah—which are in fact the foundation of the meaning and intrinsic motivation of all religious teachings. Without the internalisation of these metaphysical values, religious education risks becoming formalistic and unable to respond to existential challenges and spiritual crises amid the onslaught of materialism and secularisation in the modern world. This article aims to analyse the urgency and strategies for internalising metaphysical values within the framework of contemporary Islamic Religious Education, as well as to formulate an approach model relevant to the modern era. This study uses a qualitative method with a philosophical-analytical library research approach. Data were collected from primary sources such as the Qur'an, Hadith, and the works of classical and contemporary Islamic thinkers on education and metaphysics. The analysis was conducted hermeneutically and deductively to develop a conceptual framework. The analysis shows that the internalisation of metaphysical values in PAI is crucial for: (1) building a holistic Islamic worldview, (2) developing a deep spiritual awareness (ihsan), (3) providing a solid moral foundation that transcends positive law, and (4) creating mental-spiritual resilience in facing modern complexities. To achieve this, it is necessary to reorient the PAI curriculum to integrate metaphysical elements through an interdisciplinary approach (linking it to science, psychology, and philosophy), reflective and contemplative learning methods (such as tadabbur and tafakkur), and the use of digital technology as a medium for creative spiritual exploration.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) method in Islamic Religious Education and its contribution to strengthening students' critical thinking skills at MA Negeri Simalungun. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data were obtained through classroom observation, interviews with teachers and students, and documentation of learning tools and evaluation results. Data analysis was conducted interactively through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, with data validity maintained through source and technique triangulation. The results showed that the application of PBL in Islamic Religious Education learning can be carried out systematically through the stages of problem orientation, group discussion, investigation, presentation of results, and reflection. The implementation of PBL encourages active student involvement in the learning process and has a positive impact on strengthening critical thinking skills, as evidenced by an increase in students' ability to identify problems, analyze information, evaluate arguments, and draw logical and contextual conclusions based on Islamic values. This study concludes that the Problem-Based Learning method is an effective learning approach to improve the quality of Islamic Religious Education learning and develop students' critical thinking skills in Madrasah Aliyah. Therefore, PBL is recommended as an alternative PAI learning strategy that is relevant to the demands of 21st-century education.

Abstract

This study aims to describe teachers' efforts to instill the value of honesty in early childhood through role-playing at the Madani Mandailing Natal Kindergarten. The method used was a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation.

Abstract

The phenomenon of digital media misuse among students—such as the spread of hoaxes, hate speech, and cyberbullying—indicates a low awareness of digital ethics. This condition demands the educational sector, particularly Islamic Religious Education, to play an active role in shaping students’ character so they can use technology wisely and in accordance with Islamic values. This study aims to explore the strategies employed by Islamic Education teachers in instilling character values based on digital ethics among students at SMK Negeri 4 Tanjungbalai City. The study uses a qualitative descriptive method with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings show that Islamic Education teachers apply integrative strategies combining Islamic teachings with digital phenomena through role modeling, habituation, and contextual discussions on current digital issues. These strategies effectively enhance students’ moral awareness and sense of responsibility in digital spaces. However, low digital literacy and limited facilities remain obstacles. Therefore, collaboration among teachers, schools, and parents is essential to strengthen students’ digital character grounded in Islamic values.
