Abstract

In the digital era, Islamic education faces significant challenges in ensuring broad and inclusive access to quality learning. This study aims to design, analyze, and implement a Mass Open Online Course (MOOC) based on Open Islamic Educational Resources (OIER) as a strategy to transform Islamic education. Using a qualitative Research and Development (R&D) approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with experts in Islamic education and educational technology, observations of existing MOOC platforms, and document analysis. The findings indicate that OIER-based MOOCs play a substantial role in advancing the transformation of Islamic education by improving accessibility, learning quality, and institutional collaboration. Successful implementation is supported by three key pillars: inclusive technology design, a curriculum grounded in Islamic values, and the active involvement of stakeholders, including educators, learners, and the educational community. The developed MOOC integrates classical Islamic disciplines such as fiqh, aqidah, and Islamic history with 21st-century competencies, including critical thinking, digital literacy, and global communication, thus preserving the essence of Islamic values ​​while enhancing contemporary relevance. Furthermore, the integration of OIER into the MOOC platform expands global access to Islamic educational resources, particularly for underserved communities, improves learning quality through interactive multimedia, and strengthens cross-institutional collaboration. Empirical results show an 18% increase in student understanding of the material after using the platform. Overall, this study concludes that OIER-based MOOCs have significant potential to transform Islamic education into a more inclusive, modern, and globally connected system without compromising its core values.

Abstract

The development of modern life, marked by rapid technological advances, cultural globalization, and the dominance of materialism and hedonism, has given rise to various spiritual and moral issues in human life. These conditions have implications for the weakening of faith orientation, moral degradation, and the rise of individualism and pragmatism. This article aims to analyze the urgency of the concept of uzlah in facing the realities of modern life and its relevance in the context of Islamic Religious Education. This research uses a qualitative approach with library research methods, through a literature review of classical Sufism books, scientific articles, and relevant previous research results. Data analysis techniques are carried out descriptively and analytically to explore the meaning, values, and implementation of uzlah contextually. The results of the study indicate that uzlah is not interpreted as total isolation from social life, but rather as an effort to control oneself, guard the heart, selectivity in social interactions, and strengthen spiritual awareness in the midst of modern life. In the context of Islamic Religious Education, uzlah has strategic implications as a foundation for spiritual development and strengthening the morals of students so that they are able to face the challenges of the times without losing their Islamic identity. Thus, uzlah remains relevant as a spiritual and educational approach to addressing the moral and spiritual crises of modern society.

Abstract

The integration of Islamic ethics with 21st-century competencies is essential to strengthen the relevance of Islamic religious education in responding to contemporary educational challenges. This study aims to describe the implementation of Islamic ethics and 4C competencies integration in PAI learning. A mixed-methods sequential explanatory design was employed. Quantitative data were collected through a four-point Likert-scale questionnaire administered to 24 students to measure five integrated indicators, namely, critical thinking based on Islamic justice, creativity with value (maslahah), trustworthy collaboration, civilized communication, and ethical decision making, as well as student learning engagement. Qualitative data were obtained through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis involving PAI teachers and selected students. The findings indicate high achievement in trustworthy collaboration and civilized communication, along with a strong linkage between analytical skills and moral principles in critical thinking and ethical decision-making. Creativity with value and affective engagement were relatively lower, suggesting limited innovation and learning variation. The integration of Islamic ethics and 21st-century competencies enhances students’ cognitive, affective, and social development. This study implies the need for project-based learning, interactive media, and broader school–community collaboration to strengthen meaningful and contextual PAI learning.
