Abstract

This study examines the transformation of madhhab and theology in Egypt as documented in al-Maqrizi’s Madhāhib Ahl Miṣr wa ‘Aqā’idihim and analyzes its relevance as an epistemological foundation for the renewal of contemporary Islamic education. Employing a qualitative approach with historical methods and historical hermeneutics, the research analyzes classical texts alongside contemporary academic literature and Islamic education policy documents. The findings reveal three interrelated patterns: the dynamic transformation of legal schools and theology shaped by political power and educational institutions; the strong connection between socio-political change, scholarly mobility, and educational orientation; and the epistemological continuity between classical theological rationality—particularly Ash‘arism—and modern Islamic educational reform. These patterns demonstrate that Islamic education in Egypt has historically developed through adaptive mechanisms rooted in internal intellectual traditions rather than through abrupt or externally imposed change. The study concludes that al-Maqrizi’s work should be understood not merely as a historical record but as a living epistemological resource that informs contemporary debates on Islamic education reform. By emphasizing historical continuity between classical scholarship and modern institutional change, this research contributes to a more historically grounded and integrative understanding of Islamic education, with implications for both Egyptian and Indonesian contexts.

Abstract

Evaluation of cognitive learning outcomes in hadith instruction at madrasahs often fails to reflect students’ deep understanding, even when high scores are obtained through objective tests. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of essay tests and objective tests in measuring the cognitive abilities of Grade X students at Madrasah Aliyah Muharrikunnajaah. The research subjects consisted of 55 students (24 students from class X-A and 31 students from class X-B), selected through saturated sampling from the entire Grade X population, with characteristics of ages 15–17 years, male, and coming from a single Islamic boarding school–based institution. The study employed a quantitative comparative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and analysis of test documents, and data analysis conducted using descriptive statistics to compare mean scores, variability, and score distributions. The results show that essay tests are more effective in measuring deep understanding (mean scores of 86.21 in class X-A and 85.63 in class X-B), while objective tests are more efficient for uniform measurement (mean scores of 84.04 in class X-A and 82.22 in class X-B), with significant variation among students. The study concludes that a combination of both instruments is necessary for comprehensive evaluation, with practical implications for madrasah teachers in improving the quality of hadith instruction in accordance with 21st-century curriculum demands.
