Abstract

Research Background: The study of Rifa’ah al-Tahtawi’s thought holds significant importance in the discourse of modern Islamic educational reform. As a 19th-century Egyptian scholar and intellectual, al-Tahtawi not only introduced reformist ideas through the translation of French works but also integrated modern sciences into the Islamic educational system. His intellectual involvement was shaped by the dynamics of East–West power relations, particularly through the encouragement of the French figure, Monsieur Gomer. Method: This research employs a qualitative method with a library-based approach to analyze texts, literature, and historical sources related to al-Tahtawi’s thought. Key findings: reveal that al-Tahtawi’s concept of ijtihad functions not merely as a legal mechanism, but also as a methodological instrument for incorporating modern knowledge into the curriculum of Islamic education. The contribution: Mapping the methodological dimension of ijtihad in al-Tahtawi’s thought, highlighting its relevance as a foundation for contemporary Islamic educational reform. Nevertheless, this study remains limited to textual and historical analysis, without addressing the empirical implementation of al-Tahtawi’s ideas in Egyptian society. Conclusion: this study underscores the necessity of positioning al-Tahtawi’s thought within the broader framework of Islamic modernization as a response to global challenges, while also opening pathways for more applicative and comparative future research.

Abstract

Background Study: Marriage is widely regarded as a foundational social institution that sustains moral order, regulates social relations, and preserves cultural continuity across civilizations and major religious traditions. Islam, Catholicism, and Protestant Christianity each conceptualize marriage as a sacred and morally binding union, yet they articulate its purposes, ethical boundaries, and legal implications in distinct ways. Methods: This study employs a qualitative library-based method, drawing on primary religious texts—the Qur’an, the Bible, and Catholic magisterial documents—alongside scholarly literature on religious ethics and family law. Through systematic textual comparison, the study identifies core ethical principles and examines their similarities and divergences across the three traditions. Key findings: reveal that Islam, Catholicism, and Protestant Christianity share several universal ethical values—commitment, fidelity, responsibility, and justice—while differing in doctrinal interpretations of marital permanence, divorce, gender roles, and reproductive ethics. Catholicism affirms the indissolubility of marriage as a sacrament; Islam upholds marriage as a sacred contract yet permits divorce under regulated conditions; and Protestant Christianity adopts a covenantal framework that allows pastoral flexibility, including divorce in exceptional cases. Contributes: to interreligious ethical discourse by highlighting convergent moral principles that can support dialogue in plural societies, particularly in contexts where interfaith marriage remains contested. Conclusion: the research underscores that despite doctrinal differences, the three religions maintain shared ethical foundations that can strengthen social harmony and enrich contemporary discussions on family ethics and interreligious understanding.

Abstract

Background Study: This study is grounded in the increasing moral challenges faced by young people in the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI), where technological advancement and rapid information flow significantly influence behaviors, mindset, and character development. Religious education is considered a fundamental pillar for shaping morality, strengthening ethical awareness, and embedding spiritual values essential for navigating social change. However, its effectiveness in character formation depends greatly on community perceptions and support. This research aims to analyze the role of religious education in the character development of young people amid AI-driven societal transformation, using a field-based study in Randugunting, Bantarbolang Village. Methods: A qualitative method was employed through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, with data analyzed using the Miles & Huberman model—data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. Key Findings: The community generally holds a positive perception of religious education as a source of moral guidance for adolescents, although challenges remain, including economic limitations and low parental educational background. Contributes: empirically to the discourse on religious education in the digital era and offers strategic recommendations for strengthening character education rooted in religious values. Conclusion: affirms that religious education remains relevant and impactful in shaping youth character when supported collaboratively by families, communities, and educational institutions.
