Abstract

This study explores the intellectual contribution of Syekh Abdul Karim Amrullah to the transformation of Islamic education in the Malay world, particularly the shift from the traditional surau system to the modern madrasah. Using a qualitative-historical approach, the research investigates the social, intellectual, and religious contexts that shaped his educational reform movement in early 20th-century Minangkabau. Findings indicate that Amrullah played a crucial role in integrating Islamic values with modern rationality through systemic, methodological, and curricular reforms. He rejected the dichotomy between religious and secular sciences, introduced a structured class-based learning system, and emphasized moral and character education as the foundation of Islamic pedagogy. Thus, it can be concluded that Sheikh Abdul Karim Amrullah played a significant role in transforming Malay Islamic education from the traditional surau system to the modern madrasah. The principles introduced by Sheikh Abdul Karim Amrullah included curriculum reform, classical methods, and the integration of religious and general knowledge to form the basis for a rational and contextual Islamic education.  His conception of madrasah represented not merely an institutional reform but a manifestation of a progressive and contextual Islamic renewal aimed at liberating the Muslim community from ignorance and colonial domination. Amrullah’s educational thought laid a vital foundation for the development of modern Islamic education in Indonesia and the broader Malay world.

Abstract

This study analyzes the role of Arabic calligraphy in shaping the religious character of students in Islamic education. However, schools still face many challenges in implementing it. These include a lack of learning media that evenly touch on cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects.  One very beneficial option is the use of Arabic calligraphy as an educational tool.  The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of Arabic calligraphy in shaping students religious character. A literature review method was used to collect data from various relevant scientific sources, including books, journals, and previous research results.  The results showed that through the process of writing, decorating, and appreciating verses from the Qur'an, Arabic calligraphy plays a strategic role in enhancing religious values. This process involves cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects simultaneouslyThis study found that the use of local arts and culture, especially Arabic calligraphy, can be a useful and contextual alternative method to strengthen the formation of students religious character.
