Abstract

This study examines the role of the Persatuan Mubaligh Muda Sada Kata (PEMUDATA) as a youth missionary association in the development of non-formal Islamic education in the city of Subulussalam. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, data was collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation of the activities carried out by the organization. The results of the study indicate that PEMUDATA has made a significant contribution to expanding access to Islamic education through its da’wah programs, religious training, and youth development initiatives at mosques. The uniqueness of this organization lies in its adaptive approach to the local socio-cultural context and the ability of its members to build intergenerational communication. The practical implications of these findings suggest that youth missionary associations like PEMUDATA can be strategic partners for local governments and Islamic educational institutions in improving religious literacy among the community, especially in areas not fully reached by formal education. This research contributes to the literature on non-formal Islamic education and opens opportunities for developing partnership models between the state, society, and youth religious organizations at the local level.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the educational values exemplified by Maryam binti Imran and to analyze how these values can be internalized through the framework of Islamic Information Literacy. Grounded in a qualitative approach using literature review methodology, the research draws upon classical tafsir works, contemporary Islamic educational texts, and thematic Qur'anic exegesis. The primary data include authoritative Islamic texts such as Tafsir Al-Munir, Tafsir Ibnu Katsir, and Shahih Qashashil Qur’an, complemented by scholarly discourse on religious literacy and character formation. The findings reveal that Maryam embodies core Islamic values—spirituality, chastity, fortitude, and social responsibility—through her ability to receive, understand, evaluate, and act upon divine revelation. Her life serves as a model of effective Islamic information processing: she exercises discernment in distinguishing between divine truth and social stigma, demonstrates spiritual resilience in the face of severe trials, and maintains moral integrity despite public pressure. These values are not inherited passively but are cultivated through active engagement with authentic religious sources. The study concludes that Islamic Information Literacy is not merely a technical or academic skill, but a transformative tool that shapes faith-based character and ethical awareness. Incorporating Maryam’s example into the Islamic education curriculum can enhance students’ intellectual, emotional, and spiritual competencies, positioning her as a pedagogical model for values-based education in the modern era.

Abstract

The governance of majelis taklim (Islamic study groups) is still diverse and unstandardized, resulting in differences in community participation and management effectiveness, which in turn affect the quality of Nonformal Islamic education. This study examines the governance of Nonformal Islamic educational institutions, specifically majelis taklim, through a qualitative multisite approach in eighteen majelis taklim in Mandailing Natal Regency. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results revealed two distinct governance models: open and closed. Open governance is typically found in majelis taklim established and managed by the community, characterized by high participation in decision-making and management. In contrast, closed governance is observed in majelis taklim managed by religious scholars, where decisions are centralized. The type of governance structure influences community participation levels, open governance shows higher involvement, while closed governance is more limited. These findings indicate that governance structures play a crucial role in determining community engagement and influencing Nonformal Islamic education practices. This study implies the importance of adaptive and participatory governance guidelines to enhance the effectiveness of Islamic study group management and strengthen the role of communities in Islamic education.

Abstract

This study examines the relevance of H. Rasyid Bansin’s contributions to Islamic education and their significance for contemporary educational practices. Employing a qualitative approach with a character-study-oriented design, this research collected data through face-to-face interactions and field engagements at the research site. The methodology followed established steps in figure study research to ensure systematic analysis. The findings highlight the enduring relevance of H. Rasyid Bansin’s contributions, particularly through his establishment of modern Islamic boarding schools, integration of foreign language instruction (Arabic and English), promotion of science and technology, founding of formal schools (MTs and MA levels), and cultivation of resilient, socially conscious students. Unlike prior studies that focus solely on the role of historical figures in Islamic education, this research specifically analyzes the relevance of contributions, offering a fresh perspective on how past innovations can inform modern pedagogical practices. The study provides actionable insights for contemporary Islamic educational institutions, suggesting ways to adapt H. Rasyid Bansin’s strategies such as multilingual curricula and holistic student development to current needs. This research enriches the theoretical discourse on Islamic education by bridging historical and modern perspectives. It also serves as a foundation for future studies on the intersection of tradition and innovation in religious education.

Abstract

This study explores the institutional role of Madrasah Diniyah Takmiliyah Awaliyah (MDTA) Al Washliyah in promoting religious information literacy among urban Muslim youth in Medan, Indonesia. Contrary to the common perception of madrasahs as merely spaces for rote Qur'anic learning, MDTA Al Washliyah actively integrates media analysis and critical religious interpretation into its pedagogy. Using a qualitative method combining in-depth interviews and classroom observations, and employing snowball sampling to identify key informants, the research found that teachers encourage students to question, verify, and contextualize online Islamic content. These practices align with UNESCO’s Media and Information Literacy (MIL) framework and reflect the Islamic tradition of tafaqquh fi al-din—a deep, contextualized understanding of religion. Despite these innovations, the study also identifies critical challenges. Teachers face limited digital training, poor infrastructure, and minimal institutional support. Moreover, a cultural and generational gap exists between digitally-native students and digitally-limited educators. Parental involvement remains low, as many guardians view MDTA narrowly as a place for Qur’anic recitation, limiting support for media literacy initiatives. Nevertheless, the findings suggest that MDTA Al Washliyah, as a community-rooted institution, holds significant potential as a literacy agent. Through its culturally embedded and dialogic pedagogy, it fosters ethical digital citizenship and resilience against misinformation. In conclusion, MDTA Al Washliyah exemplifies how grassroots religious schools can adapt to digital realities, provided they receive adequate training, technological support, and broader cultural alignment. This study contributes to the discourse on integrating media literacy within Islamic education in the context of Indonesia’s urban society.

Abstract

This study explores the internalization of moral values contained in Rasysy al-Barad, a classical commentary (syarḥ) on Al-Adab al-Mufrad by Imam al-Bukhārī, through the lens of classical text-based information literacy. The urgency of this research stems from the declining moral behavior among students in Islamic educational institutions, prompting the need to return to foundational ethical texts rooted in prophetic traditions. Using a qualitative descriptive approach with a hermeneutic method, this study analyzes the contents of Rasysy al-Barad and examines the stages of value internalization aligned with the framework of information literacy: accessing, evaluating, and integrating information. The findings reveal that the book emphasizes values such as honesty, trustworthiness, respect, patience, modesty, and compassion. These values are interpreted in relation to contemporary social contexts, reflecting not only textual fidelity but also moral relevance. The study concludes that classical Islamic texts like Rasysy al-Barad function not only as religious knowledge resources but also as character-building tools within Islamic education. It recommends incorporating such texts into values-based curricula to foster moral sensitivity and critical religious thinking (tafaqquh fī ad-dīn), ultimately producing intellectually and ethically grounded individuals.

Abstract

Islamic education has a long-standing tradition of integrating intellectual and moral development, rooted in the Qur’an and Sunnah, to form balanced individuals. In the modern era, the need to align these traditions with the demands of 21st-century education becomes increasingly urgent. This study aims to analyze the development of critical thinking in Islamic educational traditions and its relevance to 21st-century skills. The research method used is a qualitative narrative approach through library research, examining written sources such as books, journals, and articles to understand concepts and phenomena in depth. The results of the study indicate that since its inception, Islamic education has emphasized the use of reason and reasoning in the learning process through the practices of ijtihad, deliberation, and scientific tolerance. This tradition forms the foundation of critical thinking relevant to modern learning. The integration of Islamic values with 21st-century skills, particularly the 4C skills (critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration), has the potential to improve the quality of Islamic education and prepare students to face global challenges intelligently, adaptively, and with character. This research provides a conceptual contribution to the development of curricula and learning strategies that combine Islamic knowledge with the demands of 21st-century skills.

Abstract

This study analyses the MATAULI Foundation's role in enhancing educational access and quality in Tapanuli Tengah Regency, a region characterised by geographical and socio-economic constraints. Educational inequities in marginalised regions of Indonesia persist as a significant concern, requiring the involvement of community-based institutions to address them. This study aims to assess the role and contributions of the MATAULI Foundation, namely via MATAULI High School, which emphasises diversity, character education, and academic success. The study utilises a qualitative methodology using a case study framework, incorporating in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate that SMA MATAULI employs a clear meritocratic selection procedure, offers scholarships and dormitory accommodations for disadvantaged students, and provides high-quality education complemented with character development initiatives. Students from diverse coastal and rural regions have attained national acclaim, and alumni have gained admission to esteemed universities both nationally and globally. The amalgamation of ethical principles with educational benchmarks yields graduates who are anchored in local culture while remaining globally competitive. In summary, community-based educational institutions, when administered with openness and a definitive goal, can mitigate educational inequalities and enhance social mobility. The MATAULI approach can be duplicated in other locations encountering analogous obstacles, thus exemplifying the transformative potential of locally based education in Indonesia.
