Abstract

Qur’an-Hadith learning frequently remains teacher-centered and predominantly informative because Qur’anic concepts have not been sufficiently developed as methodological foundations for instruction, thereby limiting students’ reflective and critical engagement with religious texts. This study aims to construct tafakkur as a Qur’anic pedagogy and explain its relevance to fostering critical thinking in Qur’an-Hadith learning. A qualitative descriptive approach with a textual-empirical orientation was employed. Textual analysis examined the concept of tafakkur in the Qur’an and its interpretations in exegetical sources, while empirical data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation of Qur’an-Hadith learning at MA Darussalam Ngesong Jombang. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with credibility established through source and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that tafakkur can be conceptualized as Qur’anic reflective reasoning that progresses from observing Allah’s signs to constructing ethical meaning. This pedagogical concept was formulated into five interconnected learning stages: observing, questioning, reflecting, reasoning, and ethical meaning-making. Its application facilitates students’ more reflective, analytical, and meaningful engagement with Qur’an-Hadith texts. The study concludes that tafakkur provides a Qur’an-based pedagogical framework capable of integrating reflective reasoning, critical inquiry, and ethical formation. These findings contribute to the development of Qur’anic pedagogy and offer practical implications for designing Qur’an-Hadith instruction that moves beyond information transmission toward reflective-critical and ethically oriented learning.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of the Baghdadi method in improving Qur'anic reading skills among students at Pondok Pesantren Roudhotun Nubaha Al-Mukhlisin Mojokerto, as well as to identify its supporting and inhibiting factors. The background of this research lies in the importance of effective Qur'anic teaching methods to develop basic reading and comprehension skills. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach. The results show that the implementation of the Baghdadi method is conducted gradually—starting with the introduction of Arabic letters (huruf hijaiyah), mastery of articulation (makharijul huruf), vowel marks (harakat), and eventually progressing to reading and memorizing short surahs. Supporting factors include active involvement from teachers and parents, the use of appropriate instructional media, and high student motivation. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include limited instructional time, inadequate classroom conditions, and the lack of advanced tajweed instruction.

Abstract

Although cooperative learning has received attention in various Islamic education studies, research specifically discussing the effectiveness of the Numbered Head Together (NHT) method in improving academic achievement in Fiqh at the madrasah tsanawiyah level remains limited. This study aims to describe the implementation of the NHT method and analyze its effectiveness in improving the academic achievement of Grade VIII students in Fiqh. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design, involving teachers, the principal, and Grade VIII students of MTs Plus Al Munawwaroh Diwek Jombang as research subjects and informants selected purposively. Data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, and were then analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing with source triangulation validation. The results show that the implementation of the NHT method was effective in accordance with the learning syntax and was able to create an active and interactive learning atmosphere. This method increased student participation from 30–40% to 85–90%, improved conceptual understanding of abstract material such as zakat, and developed soft skills in the form of cooperation and responsibility. The students’ average score increased from 72 to 82, accompanied by a decrease in the number of students requiring remedial instruction to 3–4 students per class. This finding contributes to the development of cooperative learning theory and broadens understanding of learning method innovation in Islamic Religious Education. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that individual accountability, peer tutoring, and positive interdependence play an important role in cooperative-based Fiqh learning. The practical implications of this study indicate that teachers and Islamic educational institutions can adopt the NHT method in a structured manner to improve student participation, conceptual understanding, and academic achievement.

Abstract

This research explores the educational values within Surah ‘Abasa (80):1-10 through the lens of classical and modern Tafsir, aiming to uncover its relevance to Islamic pedagogical principles. The study employs a qualitative methodology, utilizing primary Tafsir sources such as Tafsir al-Thabari, Tafsir al-Qurthubi, and Tafsir al-Misbah to provide a comprehensive analysis of the text. The findings reveal that Q. 80:1-10 emphasizes non-discrimination in education, advocating for equal treatment of all students, regardless of their physical abilities or social backgrounds. It promotes the philosophy of universal education, stressing education as both a right and a duty. The study underscores the principle of non-segregation and suggests that obstacles to education are more influenced by external factors than intrinsic limitations. The implications of these findings suggest a need for inclusive educational policies and practices that ensure equitable access to learning for all students. This research contributes to the discourse on Islamic education by highlighting the significance of inclusivity and fairness as foundational elements of educational frameworks in Muslim societies, particularly Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strategies of tahfidz teachers for overcoming challenges in memorizing the Qur’an at the Sunan Bonang Tahfidz Female Dormitory, Pesantren Mamba'ul Ma'arif, Denanyar, Jombang. Highlighting external challenges can deepen empathy for santri struggles (student in pesantren) and the importance of effective strategies. The research method used was a case study with a qualitative approach, involving observation, interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques. The results indicate that the tahfidz learning process at this pesantren is carried out in stages, starting from bi an-nadhor (reading by looking at the Mushaf), maqbul (memorizing the 30th juz and certain surah), and bi al-ghoib (memorizing without looking at the Mushaf). The results of this discussion indicate that applying the Pomodoro technique, combined with the Stepwise Learning theory and the Nine Events of Instruction by Robert Gagné, has proven effective in improving the quality, focus, and sustainability of the Qur'an memorization process at the Pesantren Sunan Bonang. This method provides a systematic, gradual, and mastery-oriented learning structure, while strengthening the processes of ziyadah, mura’jaah, and tasmi' through appropriate time management, repetition, and feedback.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between religiosity and religious moderation among Generation Alpha students in two distinct educational institutions in Jombang, Indonesia: MTs Muallimin Denanyar (Muslim) and SMP Katolik Wijana (Catholic). The study aims to explore the extent to which religiosity influences attitudes toward religious moderation and to compare these dynamics across different institutional contexts. A quantitative approach was employed, using purposive sampling to select 100 students from each school. Data were analyzed through normality and linearity tests, bivariate Pearson correlation, and Independent Samples T-Test. Findings indicate a positive and significant relationship between religiosity and religious moderation. At SMP Katolik Wijana, the correlation was moderate (r = 0.465), whereas at MTs Muallimin Denanyar it was strong (r = 0.671). Comparative analysis revealed that Muslim students exhibited higher levels of religiosity than their Catholic peers, yet both groups displayed comparable levels of religious moderation. These results suggest that personal piety does not inherently lead to exclusivist attitudes, highlighting that Generation Alpha can integrate strong religious commitment with social tolerance. The study provides empirical evidence that both educational context and social environment are critical in shaping religious moderation among Generation Alpha. These findings have implications for designing religious education curricula that balance religiosity with openness to diversity, enabling young people to function as effective agents of tolerance in multicultural societies

Abstract

Studies of the novel Hati Suhita have thus far focused primarily on themes of women, pesantren life, and Islamic character education, whereas analyses based on Imam Al-Ghazali’s educational thought, particularly concerning patience (sabr), intention (niyyah), and sincerity (ikhlas), remain limited. This study aims to analyze the representation of Islamic educational values in the form of patience, intention, and sincerity in Khilma Anis’s novel Hati Suhita from the perspective of Imam Al-Ghazali. The study employed a qualitative approach with a library research design. The primary data source was the novel Hati Suhita, while Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din was used as the principal theoretical foundation. The data were analyzed qualitatively by identifying and interpreting the representations of these three values in the novel. The findings indicate that Hati Suhita represents Islamic education as a process of moral and spiritual formation rather than merely the transmission of religious knowledge. Patience is portrayed through the ability to control one’s desires, manage emotions, and maintain steadfastness in facing life’s trials. Intention functions as an inner orientation that determines the moral and spiritual value of an action, while sincerity is represented as a process of purifying the heart from ego and worldly interests that leads individuals toward spiritual maturity. These three values are interconnected and form a comprehensive framework of Islamic education through character strengthening, self-discipline, and spiritual refinement in accordance with Imam Al-Ghazali’s thought. The findings of this study broaden the scope of Islamic education studies by affirming the role of literary works as a medium for internalizing moral and spiritual values. Practically, this study supports the use of literary works in learning to strengthen character education based on Islamic values and opens opportunities for developing studies of Islamic educational thought in other literary works.
