Abstract

This study examines multicultural education practices in Indonesian Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) and their role in fostering inclusive religious awareness. Using a qualitative case study design at Darullughah Wadda’wah (Dalwa) Islamic Boarding School in Pasuruan, East Java, data were gathered through participant observation of dormitory life, semi-structured interviews with stakeholders (caregivers, teachers, administrators, and students), and document analysis. Data were analyzed interactively using reduction, display, and verification, with validity ensured through triangulation and member checks. The findings reveal that Dalwa functions as an intra-religious cultural crossroads, managing diversity in regional origins, dialects, customs, and religious habits through structured residential living. Multicultural values are internalized via Islamic etiquette, institutional discipline, mutual respect, and equitable regulations, backed by exemplary leadership and traditional salaf culture operating as a hidden curriculum. Consequently, this framework enhances santris’ social adaptability, reduces regional prejudice, cultivates civilized communication, and reinforces cross-background solidarity. This research confirms that multicultural education in pesantren extends beyond cognitive instruction, operating effectively as an educational ecology embedded in traditional institutional culture and stakeholder leadership. Ultimately, this model offers a sustainable paradigm for strengthening religious moderation and peaceful coexistence in pluralistic societies.

Abstract

Digital transformation has reshaped Islamic Studies not only by expanding access to religious knowledge but also by altering the ways knowledge is produced, validated, interpreted, and disseminated. This study aims to analyze the relationship between Islamic scholarly tradition and technological transformation in the digital era by focusing on four interrelated dimensions: scholarly authority, source validity and verification, methodological adaptation, and digital ethics and literacy. The study employs a qualitative library research design with a critical-conceptual approach. Relevant scholarly literature, primarily published between 2021 and 2026, was selected purposively and analyzed through thematic classification, comparative reading, and conceptual synthesis. The findings show that digital platforms and algorithmic mediation have reconfigured patterns of religious authority by introducing new forms of visibility and legitimacy that may compete with conventional scholarly credentials. At the same time, digital databases, artificial intelligence, and digital humanities offer significant methodological opportunities while creating new challenges concerning source authenticity, contextual accuracy, algorithmic bias, and epistemic accountability. The study argues that Islamic scholarly tradition and digital technology should not be positioned as opposing domains. Instead, responsible Digital Islamic Studies requires competence-based scholarly authority, layered source verification, an appropriate division of epistemic functions between technological tools and human scholars, and critical digital literacy grounded in ethical responsibility. From an integrative-interconnective perspective, technological innovation becomes academically meaningful when it strengthens rather than replaces the methodological and epistemological foundations of Islamic scholarship.

Abstract

Purpose – This study examines educational dualism in Indonesia as a multidimensional problem involving epistemological separation, institutional differentiation, and social inequality. It addresses the limited integration between knowledge-integration discourse and sociological analysis by arguing that epistemological reconciliation alone is insufficient without institutional and social transformation. Design/methods/approach – The study employs qualitative library research with a sociological-conceptual approach. Peer-reviewed studies, primarily published between 2021 and 2026, were purposively selected alongside foundational works. The literature was analyzed through historical-institutional analysis, thematic-conceptual comparison, and Bourdieusian interpretation using the concepts of field, habitus, cultural capital, social capital, symbolic capital, and social reproduction. Findings – Islamic educational institutions have increasingly developed integrative forms through curricular expansion, institutional transformation, and the incorporation of scientific, technological, vocational, and professional knowledge. However, epistemological and institutional integration do not automatically eliminate symbolic hierarchies, unequal recognition, or differences in capital convertibility. The study identifies three interconnected levels of integration: epistemological, institutional, and social integration. Research implications/limitations – The proposed framework may inform the evaluation of knowledge-integration policies and institutional reform. However, the library-based design does not empirically measure capital accumulation, institutional prestige, or graduate mobility across educational pathways. Originality/value – The study extends knowledge-integration discourse by introducing a three-level framework that links epistemological reconstruction, institutional implementation, and social integration through a Bourdieusian perspective.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the process of internalizing the value of fastabiqul khairat through the Plastic Bottle Waste Bank Program at Pondok Pesantren Dalam Pagar Kandangan. The program was implemented as an effort to address the issue of plastic waste while simultaneously serving as a medium for character education among students (santri). This research employed a qualitative approach with a field research design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the Head of Student Affairs (Su’unith Thalabah) and the Head of the Sanitation Division (Qism Tanzif) as the main informants. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through source triangulation.The findings reveal that the internalization of the value of fastabiqul khairat was carried out through three main processes: habituation through routine plastic bottle collection activities, role modeling and religious motivation that linked environmental cleanliness with Islamic faith, and positive competition through inter-grade contests accompanied by rewards for the group collecting the largest number of plastic bottles. The program successfully fostered students’ awareness of maintaining environmental cleanliness, enhanced social concern, developed an attitude of tawadhu’ (humility), and strengthened collective responsibility within the pesantren community. Furthermore, the program contributed to a cleaner boarding school environment and reduced the workload of sanitation staff.

Abstract

Indonesia is a heterogeneous country or is often said to be a pluralistic country. Because the country of Indonesia has very unique advantages, it can be seen from the condition of the country of Indonesia with a population of approximately 250 million people, each with its own diversity. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive approach. The formation of student character is an ongoing process that involves the important roles of schools, families and communities. Teachers play a central role in shaping student character because they interact continuously with students in the school environment. They can influence and shape students' character through daily interactions, observations, and moral education. Apart from teachers, school rules and regulations also have an important role in forming students' character.

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) values in the moral development of grade X students at SMA 30 Juz Al Qur’an Serang Banten to overcome moral degradation among students. Using a qualitative approach with in-depth interview techniques, participatory observation, and documentation, the data were analyzed following the Miles and Huberman model. The results show the implementation of Islamic value-based character education requires a holistic approach through the integration of Curriculum 2013 with Core Competencies (KI) 1 and KI 2. Five methods of value cultivation proved effective: contextual role modeling, value-based project-based learning, integrated spiritual habituation, experience-based reflective dialogue, and individualized spiritual counseling. These methods follow the stages of value internalization from knowing, feeling, to acting.The successful cultivation of PAI values requires tripartite collaboration between school, family, and community, with the role of teachers as role models according to the principle of “ing ngarso sung tulodo”. The research confirmed significant changes in student behavior in consistency of worship, honesty, discipline, and social care. Effective Islamic religious education is not only transferring cognitive knowledge, but forming character through the appreciation and practice of noble Islamic values.

Abstract

Krisis lingkungan yang semakin Pesantren merupakan institusi pendidikan Islam tertua di Nusantara yang tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai lembaga transmisi ilmu keagamaan, tetapi juga sebagai ruang pembentukan struktur sosial, moral, dan identitas kultural masyarakat Indonesia. Artikel ini mengkaji tiga dimensi sosiologis pesantren yang saling terkait — dialektika tradisi dan modernitas, kepemimpinan kiai, dan subkultur pesantren — dengan pendekatan yang memadukan dalil naqli (Al-Qur'an dan hadis), kaidah fikih klasik, kitab-kitab turats seperti Ta'lim al-Muta'allim, Adab al-'Alim wa al-Muta'allim, dan Risalah al-Mu'awanah, serta pemikiran ulama kontemporer: Sayyid Muhammad bin 'Alawi al-Maliki al-Hasani (tokoh tarbiyah nabawiyyah yang menjadi musyrif spiritual berdirinya Pondok Pesantren Darullughah Wadda'wah), Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas (konsep ta'dib), dan Al-Habib Abu Bakar al-Adni bin Ali al-Masyhur (fikih tahawwulat/ perubahan zaman). Kajian menggunakan metode studi kepustakaan (library research). Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa ketiga dimensi tersebut bertaut pada satu akar: sistem nilai keislaman yang bersumber dari Al-Qur'an, Sunnah, dan tradisi keilmuan ulama salaf, yang terus diaktualisasikan pesantren dalam merespons perubahan zaman tanpa kehilangan jati dirinya.

Abstract

Agama Islam memiliki peran penting dalam membentuk kepribadian, karaktek, dan nilai-nilai keislaman seorang murid , serta berkontribusi dalam membangun kehidupannya ketika bersosial dengan berbagai masyarakat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran Pendidikan Agama Islam melalui tiga pendekatan sosiologis, yaitu fungsionalisme struktural, teori konflik, dan Pendidikan interaksi simbolik. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan teoretis dengan mengkaji konsep, karakteristik, dan penerapan ketiga pendekatan tersebut dalam konteks Pendidikan Agama Islam. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa fungsionalisme struktural melihat bahwa Pendidikan Agama Islam sebagai bagian dari struktur sosial yang memiliki fungsi penting dalam menjaga nilai, norma, moral, dan keteraturan sosial. Sementara itu, teori konflik memandang bahwa pendidikan tidak akan terlepas dari konflik kepentingan, kekuasaan, ketimpangan antar pihak, dan perubahan sosial. apabila Konflik dikelola dengan baik maka dapat menghasilkan dampak yang positif. Adapun interaksi simbolik menekankan bahwa pemahaman terhadap nilai-nilai Islam terbentuk melalui interaksi sosial dan pemberian makna terhadap simbol-simbol keagamaan. Meskipun ketiga pendekatan tersebut memiliki sudut pandang yang berbeda-beda, ketiganya saling melengkapi dalam memahami Pendidikan Agama Islam sebagai ruang perubahan, institusi sosial, dan wadah pembentukan makna dalam kehidupan masyarakat secara lebih luas.

Abstract

In modern times, life's pressures and rapid changes often weaken the mental and spiritual state of humans. Intense competition in life is highly prone to triggering mental tension and anxiety, hence humans desperately need an antidote to strengthen their psychological resilience. Therefore, an individual certainly requires persistence, or grit, which is a combination of perseverance, persistence, and passion in achieving long-term goals. Individuals with high levels of grit are able to endure when facing challenges and difficulties. The Battle of Badr is a tangible example of grit in Islamic history. Despite facing the larger and better-prepared Quraysh infidel army, Prophet Muhammad Saw and his companions demonstrated extraordinary resilience (grit). The purpose of this study is to examine the concept of grit in the Battle of Badr and its relevance in Islamic education. This research uses the library research method, which is a series of activities related to methods of collecting library data, reading, note-taking, and processing research materials. The results of this study reveal the existence of the grit concept in the Battle of Badr. This concept consists of two main dimensions, namely the consistency of interest which includes steadfastness (istiqamah), certainty, optimism, and a firm resolve that does not easily give up. Furthermore, the second dimension is the perseverance of effort which involves the attitudes of patience and reliance on God (tawakkal). Both of these dimensions are clearly reflected in the attitudes and actions of Prophet Muhammad Saw and his companions during the Battle of Badr. The implementation of the grit concept in Islamic education can help shape the character of students who not only possess strong religious knowledge but also have the mental and spiritual resilience required to face various life challenges.
