Abstract

This study analyzes how Pesantren Tebuireng adapts to the demands of modernity through cultural politics and communication strategies, two concepts that have not been fully explained in the context of traditional Islamic educational institutions. Despite numerous studies on pesantren and their role in Islamic education, a research gap remains in understanding how pesantren maintain their authority amidst globalization and changing state policies. To fill this gap, this study aims to explain how pesantren, specifically Pesantren Tebuireng, can survive and adapt to the times through cultural politics and communication strategies. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, this study collected data through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed it using triangulation techniques to ensure credibility. The theoretical framework used is cultural politics and communication strategies, which are operationalized by examining how pesantren maintain tradition while responding to external regulations and managing their image in society. The main findings indicate that Pesantren Tebuireng successfully maintains its religious identity through selective adaptation to modernity, utilizing cultural politics to maintain institutional autonomy, and implementing communication strategies to build public trust. This research contributes to the discourse on pesantren adaptation by emphasizing how communication strategies and cultural politics can serve as tools for maintaining identity and power in the face of modernity. These findings enrich existing debates on the relationship between tradition, power, and communication in the context of religious institutions and open up further research directions that deepen the interaction between pesantren and broader socio-political dynamics.

Abstract

This article examines community-based empowerment practices for persons with intellectual disabilities through the Day Care and Home Care programmes implemented by Rumah Kasih Sayang Ponorogo. Framed within the perspective of da‘wah as social transformation, the study focuses on how integrated care models contribute to mental health improvement, social inclusion, and the reduction of stigma within marginalized rural communities. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving programme managers, volunteers, families, and community stakeholders in the villages of Krebet and Sidoharjo, Ponorogo. The findings demonstrate that the dual-service model—combining institution-based day care for individuals with mild intellectual disabilities and home-based care for those with severe conditions—functions as a holistic empowerment mechanism encompassing physical health support, psychosocial education, spiritual guidance, skills training, and productive economic assistance. These interventions not only enhance individual mental resilience and functional independence but also foster greater family participation and community acceptance. Importantly, the programmes contribute to a gradual transformation of social perceptions, weakening long-standing stigmatization of persons with intellectual disabilities as a social burden. This study argues that the effectiveness of Rumah Kasih Sayang’s model lies in its community-embedded, humanistic, and participatory approach, which aligns social care with values of compassion, empowerment, and inclusivity central to transformative da‘wah. Nevertheless, the research also identifies structural challenges related to sustainability, funding limitations, and uneven service coverage. The article concludes by emphasizing the need for stronger institutional synergy and policy support to ensure the long-term viability of community-based empowerment initiatives for persons with intellectual disabilities.
