Abstract

Islamic higher education encounters a continuous challenge in integrating classical Islamic heritage (Turath) with modern knowledge in a consistent and meaningful way. This study examines to which extent Islamic education programs balance Turath (classical Islamic heritage) and modern knowledge in the Faculties of Sharia and Islamic Studies at the University of Zawia, Libya. Using a mixed-methods explanatory sequential design, quantitative data were collected from 350 students through a structured questionnaire, followed by qualitative interviews with 20 lecturers to provide deep insights. The findings indicate that students demonstrate a high appreciation for both Turath (M = 4.34, SD = 0.79) and modern knowledge (M = 4.08, SD = 0.96), reflecting strong support for an integrative model of Islamic education. However, curriculum balance was rated at a moderate level (M = 3.35, SD = 1.07), suggesting that integration between the two domains remains insufficient. Teaching practices were also perceived as moderately effective (M = 3.73, SD = 0.96), with limitations in fostering critical engagement and application. Furthermore, students identified significant challenges (M = 4.09, SD = 0.90), particularly the overreliance on memorization, weak linkage between theory and practice, and limited institutional coordination. Qualitative findings confirm that these challenges rooted in structural fragmentation, lack of a unified curriculum framework, and insufficient pedagogical training. The study concludes that while the conceptual foundation for integration exists, effective implementation requires systematic curriculum reform, pedagogical innovation, and institutional integration.

Abstract

This study explores the role of spatiality in the Qur’anic narrative of Prophet Moses, examining six central locations, Egypt, the river, the palace, Midian, the sea, and Mount Ṭur as transformative stages in the prophetic journey.  Drawing upon classical Qur’anic exegesis and Gadamerian hermeneutics, the research employs a textual-analytical approach to explore how each place functions not merely as a geographical site but as a locus of divine pedagogy and existential formation. The study addresses a gap in Qur’anic studies and educational philosophy by highlighting how spatial interpretation reveals the pedagogical dimensions of prophetic experience and the construction of spiritual identity. Through this lens, the paper contributes to developing a Qur’anic philosophy of sacred space and deepens understanding of divine education in the Qur’anic worldview.

Abstract

The acculturation of Islam with local cultures in the Indonesian archipelago represents a unique historical phenomenon, distinct from the spread of Islam in other regions due to its peaceful, adaptive, and culturally embedded approach. This study aims to analyze and compare the patterns of Islamic acculturation with local traditions in three representative regions: Java (focusing on the Walisongo legacy and Slametan traditions), Kalimantan (specifically the Malay Sultanate of Sambas with its Tepuk Tepung Tawar and Saprahan rituals), and Sumatra (examining the Minangkabau philosophical-legal synthesis Adat Basandi Syarak, Syarak Basandi Kitabullah and Acehnese institutional dualism of Keuchik and Meunasah). Employing a qualitative library research method with a historical-comparative approach, this study analyzes primary sources such as ancient manuscripts (Salsilah Raja-Raja Sambas, Fathul 'Arifin), ethnographic literature, and contemporary scholarly works. The findings reveal three distinct acculturation typologies: cultural-dialogical in Java (negotiating form and substance), integrative-structural in Sambas (embedding Islam into ethnic identity and bureaucratic governance), and institutional-philosophical in Sumatra (resolving customary law with fiqh through legal compromise). Despite these divergent paths, the study confirms the unwavering preservation of Tawhid (the oneness of God) as the theological core, while Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) demonstrated remarkable flexibility by utilizing the concepts of 'urf (local custom) and maslahah (public interest) to harmonize with local wisdom. This research validates the theories of "Pribumisasi Islam" (Indigenization of Islam) and Vernacularization, demonstrating that Islam in the archipelago enriched, rather than erased, local cultural identities. The study recommends further ethnographic research to explore the contemporary resilience of these acculturated traditions in the face of modernization and puritanical movements.
