This research investigates the significance of khidmah, or service, in the Islamic boarding school tradition as a means of gaining access to the esoteric components of Islamic education, particularly blessings. The motivation, process, and service orientation of musaidin students (serving students) at the Darullughah Wadda'wah Islamic Boarding School are the topic of this study. This qualitative study included 26 Musaidin students as participants, with data collected through in-depth interviews. The analysis was carried out by reducing, coding, and establishing themes. According to the findings of this study, the importance of loyalty to teachers and conformity with the norms of Islamic boarding schools carried out by Santri Musaidin in order to receive blessings. Santri Musaidin's compliance has an impact on positive behavior change, better living situations, economic well-being, and social acceptance. The experience of Santri Musaidin has transformed Islamic education not only in terms of greater knowledge, but also in terms of moral and spiritual growth.

Abstract

Happiness is a universal goal that humans have pursued throughout history. This study compares the concepts of happiness according to Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī in Kīmiyā’ al-Sa‘ādah and the concept of Ikigai in Japanese tradition. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study examines the similarities and differences between the two concepts based on text analysis and literature review. Al-Ghazālī emphasizes that true happiness is achieved through the purification of the soul, self-knowledge, and closeness to God. In contrast, Ikigai emphasizes the achievement of balance between personal satisfaction, social contribution, and life purpose. The results of this study indicate that both concepts are based on the importance of self-knowledge, building social relationships, and finding meaning in life as a path to happiness. The fundamental difference lies in their orientation: al-Ghazālī emphasizes the transcendental aspect of Allah, while Ikigai is more pragmatic in optimizing one’s potential in the world. This study underscores the importance of a holistic approach to happiness, which integrates spiritual values and everyday human life and opens the door to cross-cultural dialogue in understanding human well-being more comprehensively.
