Abstract

Problems: Government policy on equalizing the Islamic boarding school education system with equivalent educational entities or muaddalah raises concerns among the pesantren community that the essence and distinctive nature of religious education, which has been the identity of pesantren for years, may undergo changes. Purpose: The purpose of this article is to depict the ability of the Islamic boarding school education system to adapt to the evolution of government policies, transitioning from marginalization and discrimination against pesantren to recognition as religious educational institutions. This transformation ultimately leads to achieving the level of equality (muaddalah) as formal educational entities in Indonesia Methodology: The research is conducted using a quantitative approach with a case study design on the adaptation mechanisms of the education system at Pondok Gontor, East Java, towards muaddalah policies. Results/Findings: The results of this research indicate that the institutional approach illustrates that educational institutions are entities with formal and rational management structures but have loose connections in educational activities. Policy alignment is carried out innovatively and dynamically, where the education system of Kulliyatul Muallimin al-Islamiyah (KMI) officially adopts accreditation mechanisms, management evaluation, teacher qualifications, curriculum standards, and educational infrastructure in accordance with government policies. Nevertheless, the commitment as an educational institution, a place where students study religious knowledge (tafaqquh fi ad-din), shape the character of students, and enhance skills to contribute to societal progress, remains steadfast and unchanged. Paper Type: Implementation policy research

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of religious rituals in indigenous communities during the era of modernization. The study highlights three main aspects: the shift in sacred meaning, syncretism between Islamic values and local traditions, and the role of indigenous and religious institutions in responding to modernization. Technology allows for broader participation through digital media, but raises questions about the importance of physical presence. Globalization transforms rituals into global attractions, while commodification shifts the focus from sacredness to economic aspects. Despite these changes, some indigenous communities continue to uphold their ancestral traditions. The integration of Islamic values with local traditions demonstrates that modernization can be harmonized without eliminating sacredness. Syncretism between Islam and local traditions reflects cultural adaptation without losing identity. Indigenous and religious institutions play a crucial role in preserving customs, maintaining social norms, resolving disputes, and collaborating with village governments. Regulatory support and policies are needed to ensure cultural preservation and protect indigenous communities' interests.

Abstract

Islamic modernism emerged in the 19th and early 20th centuries as a response to global challenges, aiming to blend Islamic values with modern elements like science and technology. It spread globally in response to colonialism and modernization. In Indonesia, it developed during the transition to democracy, with regional autonomy leading to the implementation of Sharia in local regulations. Some radical groups in Indonesia sought to establish a strict Islamic state, driven by motives like the desire for a caliphate. In response, a liberal Islamic movement emphasizing contextual interpretations emerged. Islam Nusantara, represented by NU, exemplifies a moderate and tolerant form of Islam. Religious moderation is seen as an alternative to balance extreme interpretations, focusing on tolerance, democracy, and the rejection of violence. This article will delve into the journey of Islamic modernism, starting from its pioneers in Egypt and extending to Indonesia, where debates and developments in religious thought have become significant stages

Abstract

Halal consumption has emerged as a central mode of identity performance among Jakarta’s urban millennial Muslims, intertwining religious obligation with consumer culture. This study examines how young Muslims navigate their religious identity, ethical values, and digital presence through the everyday practices of halal consumption. Moving beyond theological and market-centered frameworks, the research employs a qualitative design combining semi-structured interviews and digital ethnography to examine how halal is performed, curated, and contested in daily life. The findings show that halal is not merely a set of dietary or consumer rules but a performative and relational identity articulated through four key dynamics: the curation of the “Halal Self” on social media; the deployment of halal as moral distinction and cultural resistance; the negotiation of structural constraints on religious agency; and the formation of a Digital Ummah as a space for soft advocacy and peer-based religious knowledge. The study argues that halal consumption represents a multifaceted ethical practice, embedded in the complex interpit’apakalay of affective, technological, and sociopolitical aspects of contemporary Muslim life.
