Abstract

Islamic education institutions in Indonesia, ranging from pesantren and madrasah to private Islamic higher education institutions (PTKIS), are adapting to artificial intelligence and platform-based learning without a shared framework for what a religiously grounded digital transformation should look like. This article addresses that gap by synthesising five recent field studies conducted between 2024 and 2026 across madrasah, pesantren, and PTKIS sites in Indonesia, supported by institutional documents and secondary case material. Using a qualitative multi-case synthesis design with thematic-narrative cross-case analysis, the study examines how neuro-pedagogical practice, digital leadership, value-based classroom management, conflict resolution, and total quality management interact under conditions of rapid digitalisation. Findings show that neuro-pedagogical competence combined with spiritual intelligence is the strongest predictor of innovative teaching performance, that leadership grounded in fathanah (wisdom) and shiddiq (integrity) determines whether digitalisation strengthens or erodes institutional legitimacy, and that musyawarah (deliberative consultation) is being reconceptualised as a moral-procedural-digital mechanism for resolving generational and administrative conflict. The study proposes a Triadic Sustainable Institutional Performance (SIP) model that positions neuro-pedagogy and spiritual intelligence as a cognitive-spiritual foundation, value-based management as a mediating layer, and integrative digital leadership, maqasid-anchored governance, and moral-procedural-digital musyawarah as three interacting pillars that jointly determine institutional outcomes. The article contributes a testable conceptual framework for Islamic education management research and offers practical guidance for institutional leaders navigating artificial intelligence adoption without treating digitalisation as a purely technical undertaking.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze politics on online media and its relationship to the development of hoax narratives in Islamic boarding schools located in the Gunung Sari area, West Lombok. Through a comparison of the Islamic boarding school in Tegal and Kekait, this study examines the forms of response from the students at both Islamic boarding schools to the political news they receive. The main focus of this research is on the online media aspect and the responses of the students at the pesantren to the various hoax narratives that are spreading. This research uses a sociological approach with a qualitative method. Data was collected from structured interviews and non-participant observation. Additionally, this research used an analysis of various fake news stories circulating in online media accessed by the students as supporting data. The findings of this study are that online media contributes to the spread of hoax narratives in Islamic boarding schools in Gunung Sari. The forms of hoax narratives that spread depend on the type of online media accessed by the students.

Abstract

This article purpose to examine and criticize the tradition of relations between santri and kiai in Islamic boarding schools which are generally affiliated with Nahdlatul Ulama (NU). NU is likened to a large Islamic boarding school, while the Islamic boarding schools scattered throughout the archipelago are miniatures of NU. NU's progress and contributions are very diverse and are felt to this day, especially the struggle to expel the invaders in the archipelago, culminating in the momentum of the November 10 battle in Surabaya through the Jihad Fatwa (Resolution) issued by KH. Hasyim Asy'ari as Rais Akbar NU at that time. Another contribution of NU that has had a broad impact in the field of education is the existence of Islamic boarding schools which are estimated to have emerged in the 16th century AD. Islamic boarding school education is native to the archipelago and is claimed to be the oldest education system. Apart from being taught religious sciences such as jurisprudence, faith and morals, character education is also strongly instilled in Islamic boarding schools through direct education from a kiai. However, in practice, there is often an excessive cult of kiai due to several underlying factors, highlighted here is the aristocracy tradition inherited from the palace which is reflected in the santri's ethics towards kiai.

Abstract

This study analyzes social polarization toward religious groups considered deviant in Central Lombok, where movements such as Wahdatul Wujud, Islam Sasak, Shamsiyah, and Ahmadiyya have developed distinct religious interpretations. Their presence has raised concerns about doctrinal purity and social stability within the Muslim-majority community. Using Karl R. Popper’s theory of social polarization, this research explains the tendency of local society to adopt closed attitudes toward religious interpretive diversity. The study employs a qualitative approach, with data collected through field observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, which were analyzed thematically to capture prevailing social dynamics. The findings indicate that the emergence of these groups is driven by several factors, including low levels of religious literacy, the persistence of local cultural traditions, and dissatisfaction with formal da'wah practices. These conditions contribute to social division between groups defending orthodox Islamic teachings and those advocating greater religious freedom. The response of governmental and religious authorities particularly through heresy fatwas issued by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) and intensified surveillance has further strengthened polarization. As a result, affected groups experience stigma, social exclusion, and occasional conflict, with the Ahmadiyya community facing the most severe pressure. The study concludes that strengthening inclusive religious education, promoting intergroup dialogue, and implementing strategies of religious moderation are crucial to reducing polarization and fostering social harmony in Central Lombok.

Abstract

This reasearch is titled Analysis of the Mediation Process of the Sumbawa-Bali Ethnic Conflict 2013. This conflict is one of the significant events involving social tensions between two ethnic groups, triggred by social jealousy and economic inequality. This study aims to deeply analyze the mediation process, especially in building effective dialogue to create sustainable conflict resolution. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection techniques were conducted through in-depth interviews and document analysis with research subjects including Mediators from the Sumbawa Regency Regional Government, in this case handed over to the Religious Harmony Forum (FKUB), representatives of the conflicting parties, namely Parisada Hindu Dharma Indonesia (PHDI), and several involved actors, namely the Secretary of the Tana Samawa Traditional Institution (LATS). Data was analyzed using the Miles and Huberman technique, which includes Data Reduction, Data Presentation, and Conclusion Drawing. The results show that the conflict mediation process did not directly involve representatives from both parties, namely the Samawa ethnic group and the Bali ethnic group, so the mediation stages of the PUSAD Paramadina theory were not carried out, neither the problem identification stage nor the problem-solving stage. Mediation focused more on formal resolution, such as law enforcement and physical reconstruction, without addressing the main root causes, namely, socio-economic inequality. This led to a lack of deep dialogue and long-term peace in conflict resolution

Abstract

Berbagai gerakan dan konsep konservasi lingkungan telah muncul dalam berbagai konferensi tingkat nasional dan internasional. Ditingkat masyarakat lokal juga dikenal kearifan local (local wisdom) tentang pemeliharaan alam. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menggali konsep pemeliharaan lingkungan dalam naskah kuno Sasak dan prakteknya dalam ritual adat masyarakat Sasak. Tiga Manuskrip yakni Jati Suara, Wariga Maling dan Usada Rara berisi rekam jejak cara masyarakat Sasak sejak masa lampau dalam bidang pemanfaatan jenis-jenis tumbuhan dan pemeliharaan lingkungan. Masyarakat Sasak Lombok memiliki aturan-aturan adat yang dikenal sebagai Awig-Awig yang tidak lepas dari ajaran-ajaran Islam dalam Fikih. Keterkaitan ini misalnya bisa dilihat pada dasar beberapa tradisi di Lombok, seperti tradisi Midang (mengenal Perempuan), Merarik (Menikah), dan Ngoatin (Mengobati). Oleh orang-orang Sasak di Lombok, naskah Usada menjadi acuan bagi pelaksanaan tiga tradisi yaitu Tradisi Mengobati, Tradisi Menjaga Hutan, dan Tradisi Mengamalkan Fikih. Tradisi ini telah membentuk pola struktur dan suprastruktur sosial orang-orang Sasak dan sekaligus memberi dasar corak Islam yang dekat dengan alam dan lingkunganTeori dan Metode

Abstract

Social security is a vital element of communal life, yet inter-resident brawls continue to occur frequently in Indonesia, one recurring case being in Medan Belawan District, North Sumatra, which has repeatedly caused material losses, injuries, and even fatalities, disrupting the stability of community life. This study aims to analyze the factors causing inter-resident brawls in Belawan, understand their impact on community social security, and examine the phenomenon from the perspective of Islamic political thought. The research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach; primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews with police officers, community leaders, perpetrators/former perpetrators of brawls, and victims' families, supplemented by secondary data from related documents and literature, using the Miles and Huberman interactive analysis model along with source and technique triangulation to ensure data validity. The results show that inter-resident brawls in Belawan are caused by an accumulation of interrelated factors, namely seemingly trivial everyday triggers, a culture of revenge and strong group solidarity, economic limitations and unemployment, and low levels of education and drug abuse, which, viewed from the perspective of Islamic political thought, contradict the principle of protecting life (hifz al-nafs) and the concept of islah, so that resolution needs to be directed toward realizing maslahah through a comprehensive preventive approach encompassing law enforcement, economic empowerment, education, religious guidance, and the sustained strengthening of the roles of family and community.

Abstract

This study analyzes the political genealogy of Islamic education during the era of the Prophet Muhammad and the four Rightly-Guided Caliphs (Khulafaur Rasyidin), focusing on the relationship between knowledge, power, and the formation of early Islamic civilization. Using a qualitative-descriptive library research design informed by a genealogical perspective, the study traces primary classical historical texts alongside secondary scholarly literature through content analysis. Findings show that in the Meccan period, education functioned as an instrument of liberation centered on cultivating monotheism (tawhid) as an epistemological and social critique of pre-Islamic (jahiliyah) structures, chiefly through the informal institution of Dar al-Arqam. In Medina, education became institutionalized around the Prophet's Mosque, integrating spiritual, social, and political functions. Under the Rightly-Guided Caliphs, education was further institutionalized: Abu Bakar's Qur'anic codification stabilized epistemic authority, Umar bin Khattab's dispatch of scholar-teachers expanded and decentralized learning across newly conquered territories, Uthman bin Affan's mushaf standardization enforced textual unity, and Ali bin Abi Thalib's era fostered intellectual discourse amid political conflict. The study concludes that Islamic education was never neutral but consistently mediated by the dialectic between political authority (ulil amri) and scholarly authority (ulama), reflected in the shift of learning spaces from private to public and in curricula moving from moral-spiritual formation toward state-administrative needs, underscoring education's role as a strategic instrument in building and sustaining Islamic civilization.

Abstract

Environmental degradation is not merely an ecological problem but also a moral, spiritual, and educational challenge that requires a value-based response. The Qur’an contains a range of verses that construct an ethical relationship between humans and the natural world, emphasizing stewardship, balance, responsibility, and the prohibition of environmental destruction. This study aims to interpret Qur’anic verses related to environmental love and reconstruct their ecological values as a foundation for developing an Islamic education curriculum. This study employs a qualitative library research method using thematic Qur’anic interpretation (tafsir maudhu’i). Data were collected from relevant Qur’anic verses, classical and contemporary tafsir works, Islamic ecological thought, and literature on Islamic education and curriculum development. The data were analyzed through identification, classification, contextual interpretation, synthesis, and conceptual reconstruction. The study finds that Qur’anic environmental ethics can be reconstructed into five interconnected values: ecological responsibility, compassion toward creation, environmental justice, moderation in resource utilization, and preservation of ecological balance. These values demonstrate that environmental love in the Qur’anic perspective is not merely an emotional attitude but a form of ethical and spiritual responsibility. Their integration into the Islamic education curriculum can strengthen students’ ecological awareness by connecting faith, morality, knowledge, and environmental action. The study contributes a Qur’an-based ecological value framework for developing an Islamic education curriculum that is responsive to contemporary environmental challenges and oriented toward sustainable human–nature relations.
