Abstract

In Indonesia’s multilingual education landscape, Islamic boarding schools (pondok pesantren) play a pivotal role in shaping students’ religious and linguistic identities through bilingual language policies. While pesantren have historically emphasized Arabic for religious instruction, the inclusion of English reflects a growing need for global engagement. This study investigates the implementation, challenges, and impacts of language policies in three pesantren in Central Java. Adopting a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observation, and document analysis with coordinators (pak kyai/bu nyai), instructors (ustadz/ustadzah), and students (santri). This research integrates ethnographic tools particularly those oriented towards branding local wisdom activities to deepen the understanding of how pesantren construct and communicate their institutional identity through language practices. Findings revealed three distinct policy models: kitab-based instruction (pesantren 1), structured immersion (pesantren 2), and bilingual programs (pesantren 3). Challenges included limited vocabulary, low student confidence, policy-practice gaps, and insufficient interaction with native speakers. Nevertheless, bilingual policies fostered increased student confidence, enhanced public speaking skills, and multilayered linguistic identities grounded in both Islamic and global contexts. These findings highlight that effective language policy must align with institutional ideology, ensure consistent implementation, and provide authentic language exposure. It is recommended that pesantren leaders strengthen peer-based language zones, enhance teacher training in bilingual pedagogy, and explore digital platforms to connect students with native speakers. Future research should examine pesantren across other regions and investigate the long-term effects of bilingualism on students' academic and spiritual development.

Abstract

The idea of what is after life has been remarkably discussed in all religions since their inceptions. The doctrine of the last things is known as eschatology. The word originated in the West and initially referred to Jewish, Christian, and Muslim ideas regarding the end of time, the afterlife, the Last Judgment, the messianic era, and the theodicy (the justification of God's justice) dilemma. The phrase has been used by religious historians to describe overlapping themes and ideas in nonliterate peoples' religions, ancient Mediterranean and Middle Eastern societies, and Eastern civilizations. There are eschatological archetypes in many secular liberation movements as well. The present paper aims to present a metaphysical and theological understanding of the Islamic idea of eschatology, comparing between two contemporary scholars, i.e., Badiuzzaman Said Nursi and al-Attas. In the works of both, it is noticed that the conceptions and terminologies related to the end of this world and beginning of the other world have been discussed. Initially, the paper introduces the concept of eschatology in THE WORDS of Badiuzzaman, followed by the explanation by al-Attas. After presenting the two scholastic narrations, they are compared looking to different dimensions including their content, articulative methodologies, and linguistic aspects. A meticulous analysis of all these dimensions showed that the two scholars have similar understanding of the Islamic idea of eschatology, whereas both differ, to a great extent, in presenting it through their respective works. The paper argues that both scholastic narrations have contributed significantly to the understanding of the hereafter world.
