Abstract

Objective: This research aims to explore the decolonization of digital literacy among Muslim parents through a local wisdom approach to strengthen family-based tarbiyah in the technological era, specifically addressing how Islamic values and pesantren educational principles can enhance parents' capacity for digital discernment while safeguarding children from negative digital influences. Theoretical framework: This study is grounded in Critical Pedagogy by Paulo Freire and the Integration-Interconnection paradigm by Amin Abdullah, combined with the Islamic concept of ta'dib by Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas. Literature review: Current digital literacy frameworks often replicate Western-centric paradigms without integrating local wisdom or Islamic tarbiyah principles. Previous research indicates the critical role of parental digital literacy in children's educational success, yet rarely addresses cultural and religious dimensions specific to Muslim families in Indonesia. The rapid proliferation of digital media presents unique challenges for Muslim families, particularly in preserving Islamic values and fostering ethical digital citizenship within the family unit. Methods: This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with case study design. While this study primarily employs a qualitative approach, descriptive quantitative data were also collected as supporting evidence through pre- and post-training assessments. This supplementary data was utilized to objectively measure the immediate effectiveness of the training program and to triangulate the qualitative findings Primary data were collected through in-depth interviews with 20 Muslim parents from LKSA Ar-Ridlo Peterongan Jombang who participated in digital literacy training programs, supplemented by observations and documentation analysis using thematic analysis. Results: The findings demonstrate a 70% improvement in parents' digital literacy scores after training (average increase of 33 points). The integration of pesantren educational principles and Islamic local wisdom significantly enhanced parents' capacity to guide children's digital engagement while maintaining tarbiyah values. Key improvements include: 85% of parents became confident in using online learning platforms, 80% able to set parental controls, 90% actively monitor screen time, and 88% regularly discuss digital ethics with children. Implications: This research offers a practical framework for developing culturally sensitive digital literacy programs that align with SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions). The framework repositions Islamic education as a transformative force in the digital age, with implications extending to philosophical, pedagogical, cultural, and structural dimensions of family-based tarbiyah. Novelty: The novelty lies in the integration of decolonial theory with Islamic tarbiyah principles and Indonesian local wisdom to create a Decolonized Digital Literacy Framework for Muslim Parents (DDLMP), which has not been extensively explored in previous research. This framework provides an alternative to Western-centric digital literacy paradigms by centering Islamic epistemology and Indonesian cultural values.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine the integration of religious moderation and local cultural preservation through the synergy of Islamic education and Sufi (tasawuf) values at Pesantren Tebuireng in supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Theoretical framework: The research is grounded in theories of religious moderation, Islamic education, Sufi spirituality, and cultural preservation, emphasizing the interconnectedness of spiritual development, social harmony, and local wisdom. Literature review: Previous studies have discussed religious moderation, pesantren education, and local cultural sustainability independently; however, limited research has comprehensively explored how tasawuf-based Islamic education simultaneously strengthens moderate religious attitudes and preserves local cultural traditions within a formal educational institution. Method: This study employs a qualitative approach using literature analysis, document review, in-depth interviews with pesantren leaders, educators, and students, as well as participant observations of educational activities and cultural practices. The collected data were analyzed through thematic analysis to identify patterns of value integration and educational implementation. Results: The findings reveal that integrating Sufi teachings into Islamic education effectively cultivates religious moderation by promoting tolerance, compassion, humility, and mutual respect while reinforcing the preservation of local cultural traditions through religious rituals, communal practices, and cultural appreciation. These educational practices strengthen students' spiritual character, social responsibility, and cultural resilience, contributing directly to SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions). Implications: The study provides a practical educational model for policymakers and Islamic educational institutions seeking to balance religious values with cultural sustainability and peaceful coexistence. Novelty: This research offers a comprehensive institutional model demonstrating how tasawuf-based Islamic education harmonizes religious moderation with local cultural preservation, presenting a replicable framework for strengthening spiritual character and cultural resilience in diverse educational contexts.
