Abstract

The historical formation of Islamic traditional institutions in Aceh, particularly dayah, remains underexplored, especially regarding the relationship between their socio-historical origins and foundational educational practices. This study aims to analyze the historical establishment and basic education model of Dayah Raudhatul Huda. Using a qualitative descriptive design with socio-historical and Islamic education approaches, data were collected through in-depth interviews with dayah leaders and supported by document analysis. The findings indicate that the institution emerged through strong community participation, driven by religious consciousness, waqf contributions, and the need for accessible Islamic education. Its educational model reflects the salafiyah tradition at the ula and wustha levels, focusing on classical Islamic texts while integrating faith, ritual practice, and moral discipline as core elements of student formation. These findings highlight that the sustainability of dayah lies in its community-based foundation and value-oriented pedagogy. The study implies that such a model offers a relevant framework for strengthening character education and religious literacy in contemporary Islamic education systems.

Abstract

This article discusses the role of the Dayah education model in Aceh in developing students' religious and social character, and its relevance as an educational institution grounded in Islamic values amid modernization. This study uses a qualitative-descriptive case study approach to explore in depth the role of Dayah education in character formation. Data was obtained from primary sources (in-depth interviews with teungku, students, and Dayah managers) and secondary sources (curriculum documents, diaries, and kitab kuning). Data collection techniques include participatory observation of learning activities, semi-structured interviews, and documentation studies. The data were analyzed thematically through coding, pattern identification, and interpretation to uncover the values of character education and Dayah adaptation strategies in the modern era. Triangulation of sources and methods is carried out to ensure the validity of the data. The study's findings show that the Dayah functions not only as a center for religious learning but also as a fortress in maintaining the Islamic identity and local culture of the Acehnese people. This research contributes to the literature on character-based Islamic education. It shows that Dayah has the potential to address the challenges of globalization by integrating modern practical skills. Dayah can serve as a relevant and sustainable model of education that maintains tradition while meeting the needs of the times.
