Abstract

In the modern era characterized by rapid developments in science and technology, the need for the integration of knowledge and religion has become increasingly pressing. While these two elements have distinct domains, they possess the potential to complement each other in providing comprehensive solutions to the various challenges faced by the global community. The integration of science and religion is not only relevant in addressing ethical and moral issues but also in building a holistic and inclusive education system. The Universitas Islam Negeri Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta is one of the institutions that have consistently developed the paradigm of integrating science and religion, known as the integrative-interconnective approach. This paradigm aims not only to unify these two disciplines but also to dynamically connect them within the realm of both theory and praxis in higher education. The paradigm serves as a model for the development of knowledge grounded in Islamic values while simultaneously opening a dialogue with modern science. However, the implementation of the integration of science and religion in the era of globalization faces various challenges, ranging from resistance to the paradigm shift, limited resources, to the pressure from the predominantly secular modernization. Nevertheless, significant opportunities have also emerged with the growing academic literature that elaborates on this approach, such as the journal Afkaruna: Indonesian Interdisciplinary Journal of Islamic Studies and other works highlighting the importance of renewing the scientific paradigm in Islamic higher education institutions

Abstract

This study examines Islamic education policy in Indonesia during the Reformation era, highlighting the transformation from a centralized to a decentralized system, strategic policies, progress, and challenges faced. Islamic education gained strong legitimacy within the national education system through Law Number 20 of 2003, which expanded recognition of various Islamic educational institutions. Furthermore, strategic policies such as the allocation of 20% of the state budget (APBN), compulsory education programs, and the development of competency-based curricula have had a positive impact. However, challenges such as regional disparities and radicalism remain a concern. This study emphasizes the importance of innovation and inclusivity to ensure Islamic education remains relevant in the era of globalization.

The results of the study show that Tafsir Al-Maraghi emphasizes moral values that include human relationships with Allah (hablum minallah), fellow humans (hablum minannas), and the environment. Al-Maraghi's interpretation of these verses highlights the role of parents, especially fathers, in providing moral education through consistent example, advice, and teaching. In addition, Tafsir Al-Maraghi emphasizes the importance of moral formation through self-control, sincerity, and responsibility. This research discussion connects the relevance of moral teachings in Tafsir Al-Maraghi with contemporary educational practices, especially in building character-based educational curricula. This study concludes that the tafsir of Al-Maraghi makes a significant contribution in formulating an applicable moral education strategy for today's young generation.
