Abstract

In the context of contemporary education, many madrasahs attempted to integrate character education into their curriculum. The implementation of Al-Ghazali's thought into the Aqidah Akhlak curriculum at Madrasah Aliyah was expected to contribute positively to character education in Indonesia. This study did not only aim to examine the theory but also provided practical recommendations for educators and policymakers in designing a more effective curriculum. As stated by Raqib, in-depth research on the integration of Islamic values in education opened opportunities to improve the quality of education in a Muslim-majority country. This research used a literature review method by examining relevant sources related to curriculum concepts, character education, and Al-Ghazali's thought. In addition, document analysis of the operational curriculum of Madrasah Aliyah Tarbiyatut Tholabah was also conducted. The literature analysis became an effective method for collecting comprehensive information and providing a broader context to the issues studied. The results of the study showed that Al-Ghazali's perspective on curriculum had a significant impact on the development of the Aqidah Akhlak curriculum at Madrasah Aliyah Tarbiyatut Tholabah. Al-Ghazali's concept of ethics was not only relevant in shaping students' character but also in creating a more conducive learning environment. These findings indicated that the integration of moral values in education could improve the overall quality of education and prepare a generation that was not only intelligent but also possessed strong integrity.

Abstract

The association of Islamic politics with radicalism has become a dominant narrative in contemporary discussions on religion and politics in Indonesia. Existing studies have largely focused on radical movements, religious extremism, and political Islam. At the same time, insufficient attention has been given to the intellectual traditions that have historically shaped moderate Islamic political engagement. This study examines how Shafi'i jurisprudence provides a normative and adaptive framework for political moderation and explores its relevance in challenging radicalism-centered interpretations of Islamic politics. Using qualitative library research, the study analyzes classical Shafi'i political texts, particularly the works of al-Mawardi, al-Juwaynī, and al-Ghazālī, alongside the historical experiences of Hasyim Asy'ari, Mohammad Natsir, and Nahdlatul Ulama in negotiating the relationship between Islam, politics, and the nation-state. The findings reveal that political moderation in the Shafi'i tradition is constructed through five interconnected principles: public welfare (maṣlaḥah), consultation (shūrā), preservation of social order (ḥifẓ al-niẓām), legal realism, and public accountability. These principles enable a flexible and context-sensitive approach to governance, allowing Indonesian Muslim scholars to selectively adapt classical doctrines while rejecting elements incompatible with democratic pluralism. The study argues that the Indonesian experience demonstrates an adaptive model of Shafi'i political thought that reconciles Islamic normative commitments with constitutionalism, democracy, and national unity. This article contributes to the literature by proposing Adaptive Shafi'i Political Theory, a theoretical framework introduced in this study, to explain how classical Shafi'i political principles are selectively adapted to support constitutionalism, democracy, and national unity beyond the dominant radicalism narrative.
