Abstract

The formation of worship practices in Islamic boarding schools cannot be reduced to rule enforcement or ritual scheduling, because students’ engagement in worship grows through relationships, emotional experiences, and the meaning they construct in daily life. This study argues that positive discipline becomes transformative only when it is lived as a humane, relational, and spiritually grounded practice within the pesantren environment. Through a phenomenological exploration of teachers, caregivers, and students at Madinatul Ulum Pamenang, the research reveals that the shift from punitive control to a compassionate and dialogic approach fundamentally reshapes how students understand and perform worship. Rather than compelling compliance, teachers cultivate commitment by modeling sincerity, guiding students through reflective conversations, and creating rhythms of life where worship becomes integrated into personal identity. Students internalize worship not because they fear reprimand but because they witness authentic devotion, receive empathetic support, and participate in structured routines that gradually evolve into personal habits. The findings show that positive discipline functions less as a technique and more as a moral culture that nurtures students’ responsibility, emotional maturity, and spiritual awareness. In this environment, worship becomes an expression of inner readiness instead of external obligation. This study demonstrates that when discipline is reframed as a relational and meaning-oriented process, pesantren life provides fertile ground for cultivating enduring spiritual practices that students sustain even beyond institutional supervision.

Abstract

This research investigates and develops the Fitrah Based Education model to develop the Rahmatan Lil’alamin personality through a holistic single case study at SALIM School. This study responds to the demand for translating Islamic philosophical ideas of fitrah into educational components that link spiritual cultivation, talent cultivation, environmental responsibility, interaction adab and parental involvement. The data was gathered through participant observation, semi structured interviews, document study, and focus group discussion with students, facilitators, parents and school administration. The study suggests that the MPF RL model is built based on five interrelated components; the Tauhidic Curriculum, the Talent Civilization Project, the School of Life, the Interaction Adab, and the Parent Sessions. These components form an integrated educational ecosystem where students are guided to develop knowledge by means of Tafakkur fil Kawn, apply their talent to give benefits to the society through Talent to Mission, enhance their ecological responsibility through nature based education, practice peaceful relations through Interaction Adab, and sustain fitrah development through school home cooperation. The research concludes that the MPF RL model offers a contextual and empirical approach to operationalise Fitrah Based Education into educational practices. While the findings are only based on one case, they provide useful insights for Islamic educational institutions to produce students who are moral, life skilled, socially useful, ecological, and in line with the Rahmatan Lil’alamin paradigm.
