Abstract

This article discusses the practice of burying the umbilical cord in Indonesian Islamic tradition, which is an important part of the birth ritual. The burial of the umbilical cord not only has symbolic meaning but also reflects inherited local wisdom values. In the context of Indonesian society, this ritual is often complemented by various traditional ceremonies that demonstrate the relationship between life, health and the continuity of generations. In addition to cultural values, this article also explores the potential utilisation of stem cells derived from umbilical cords. Stem cells have significant medical applications, including in the treatment of various diseases. This research analyses how communities can utilise umbilical cord tissue not only as a spiritual symbol but also as a valuable medical resource. This opens up opportunities for dialogue between local traditions and innovations in medicine. With an interdisciplinary approach, this article invites readers to understand the importance of integration between local wisdom and scientific development. The findings are expected to provide new insights into traditional practices that are still relevant in the modern era and encourage people to consider collaboration between religious values, culture and medical advancements in their daily lives.

Abstract

Salaf pesantren are confronted with the challenges of the modern era, which require the integration of traditional religious education and formal schooling in order to remain relevant to contemporary demands. This study aims to describe and analyze the process of learning transformation at Pondok Pesantren Mangunsari Nganjuk from the perspective of Kurt Lewin’s theory of change, as well as to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors influencing this process. Employing a qualitative research design with a case study approach, the findings reveal that Pondok Pesantren Mangunsari has successfully transformed from a purely salaf system into a dual-track education model by integrating a formal Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) into its educational structure. This transformation aligns with the three stages of Kurt Lewin’s change theory: unfreezing (the emergence of awareness of the need for change), changing (the implementation of innovation through the establishment of the MTs), and refreezing (the institutionalization of the new system through sustainable policies and the formation of a new learning culture). The main inhibiting factor identified is the issue of leadership succession, while a crucial supporting factor is the successful development of a new, loyal, and innovation-oriented community base through Jam'iyah Istighotsah. The study concludes that pesantren are capable of strategically synthesizing tradition and modernity to respond to contemporary challenges without losing their fundamental identity.
