Abstract

Hadith studies in Indonesia have lagged despite hadith being the second source of Islam. The question is how Muslim scholars and Islamic social organizations have contributed to developing hadith studies in Indonesia. To answer this, library research with an analytical approach was conducted to discover a description of their contributions. Data was gathered through a literature study, analyzing references written by Muslim scholars in Indonesia using inductive and content analysis. The result shows that the lag in hadith studies is due to the lack of attention from Muslim scholars and the limited resources of hadith. However, Hadith studies began to be experienced in the second half of the 19th Century, growing to the early 20th Century. This was, among others, driven by the purification of Islamic teachings and the critique of Orientalists who undermined hadith. In this context, Muslim scholars and Islamic social organizations in Indonesia have significantly contributed to the development of hadith studies, mainly through providing literature on hadith and its sciences. However, their approaches differ. Muslim scholars interpret hadith textually and contextually, while Islamic social organizations, except NU, primarily use a textual approach. NU, in contrast, applies both approaches in its deliberations.

Abstract

Madrasah has been integrated into the national education system. This policy pushed the reconstruction of the curriculum regarding the components of religious and general subjects and its implications for madrasah alums. This research aims to examine the impact of the Ministrial Joint Decree on the academic quality of madrasah aliyah alums in South Sulawesi. This qualitative research gathered the data through interviews with the madrasah principals, teachers, and the head of the education division at the Ministry of Religious Affairs of South Sulawesi. This study shows that both state and private Islamic senior high schools in the province applied various strategies to overcome curriculum overload through maximizing learning hours, improving the quality of teachers, and applying boarding school system where learning activities adopt a fullday system. Through such mechanism, that madrasahs produced competitive alums. A further implication for Islamic public and private schools' alums is concerned with the increase in the number of their alums in pursuing education at prominent state universities in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article attempts to answer the question regarding the possibility of building peace in an Islamic perspective, which is known for various teachings and practices that are contrary to peace, such as the teaching of waging holy war against the infidels and that Islam is triumphant and no other religion may defeat it. Some writers say it is impossible to speak of peace from Islamic teachings. For them, Islam is a religion of violence and not compatible whatsoever with the discourse of peace. However, it is not difficult to find in Islam materials of teaching by which one may develop concepts about peace, peacemaking, and peacebuilding. Islam itself means getting into peace and that Islam teaches justice, enjoins people to goodness, and prevents evil. Loving rather than hating is very much endorsed in Islam's ethical teaching; accepting others as they are is one way to love them. Peace not only exists but will continue forever; it must be constructed and maintained continuously.

Abstract

The mission of Islamic Higher Education Institutions (IHEIs) is to advance Islam as a mercy to all creation (raḥmah li al-‘ālamīn). A manifestation of Islam, raḥmah li al-‘ālamīn, is the practice of religious moderation in campus life and society, characterized by the adoption of pillars such as national commitment, anti-violence, tolerance, and adaptation to local culture. This study seeks to compare human resource development (HRD) methods by enhancing the values of religious moderation in three IHEIs. A comparative descriptive qualitative method was used to understand the HRD of three IHEIs that were the objects of research to identify similarities and differences. The study found that all three IHEIs used a similar approach, such as focus group discussions, training, and webinars. These efforts have only reached the internalization stage in strengthening the understanding of religious moderation. The study's results recommend an HRD framework that integrates religious moderation into the organizational culture to encourage the realization of a civil (Madani) society.

Abstract

Children's education plays a crucial role in preventing radicalization. By fostering analytical thinking and encouraging an evidence-based approach, education can help children develop the ability to discern and challenge extremist narratives. This study aims to investigate the terrorist offenders’ children's education in Indonesia through qualitative and quantitative research designs. By interviewing terrorist prisoners, holding discussions with former prisoners, and reviewing legal documents of terrorism cases such as profiling and assessment reports, this study tries to identify the regeneration of terrorist networks in Indonesia. The study examines the schools terrorist offenders (as decision makers) select for their children. The findings of this study show that only 18% of prisoners’ children are sent to schools not associated at all with terrorist organizations. In comparison, prisoners hide 29%, 14% are sent to schools less affiliated with terrorist organizations, and 13% are in schools very affiliated with terrorist organizations. This indicates distressing information that the indoctrination of youngsters persists within terrorist networks in Indonesia. Moreover, there are correlations between several independent (e.g., offenders' sentences, risk levels, and affiliations) and dependent variables (e.g., children's trauma, categories of school, orientations, and school networking). The study may help predict the continuation and recurrence of terrorism.

Abstract

The recent exposure of bullying in pesantren has raised an irony, threatening its reputation as a safe place to prepare students (santri) with motivation, self-reliance, well-character, and dedication. This research explores bullying in pesantrens in Madura, East Java, Indonesia. It employs a qualitative and critical descriptive approach and hypothetically relates the bullying to the demise of sufi values in the pesantren. Purposely selecting six pesantren (two from each type: Salaf, semi-modern, and modern) as samples, with respondents consisting of students, teachers and staff, this research seeks to accommodate the complexity of patterns or types that might have contributed to how bullying takes place and how it may relate to some sufi values. It turns out that among several types, bullying occurs most prevalently between students and teachers (ustadh), serving interchangeably as doers and victims. This can be as much related to social hierarchy within the pesantren as to the double roles that both play. The bullying indicates the demise of sufi values and can be attributed to at least four factors: insufficient contextualization during the learning process, imbalanced reading materials for the subject, an ineffective learning process, and a hierarchical atmosphere among the participants.

Abstract

In order to better understand how students' learning styles affect their engagement with course contents, this study looks at how the VARK (Visual, Auditory, Read/Write, Kinesthetic) learning paradigm is applied in Islamic education. The study's two primary aims are first to examine how well students believe their preferred learning methods align with traditional versus digital learning environments and then to investigate how these preferences affect their interaction with Islamic educational materials. The study employs a semi-structured interview guide to record individual experiences during in-depth interviews conducted with 15 University of Utara Malaysia (UUM) students, utilizing a qualitative research approach. Within UUM's Islamic curriculum, a thematic analysis is conducted to identify trends, obstacles, and benefits associated with each VARK learning style. Specific obstacles include the dense structure of classical books for read/write learners, the monotony of audio materials, information overload for visual learners, and a lack of kinesthetic learning possibilities. The findings underscore the importance of an integrated, adaptable curriculum that accommodates diverse learning styles, thereby increasing student engagement and academic achievement. This study contributes to the literature on Islamic education by offering curriculum design recommendations that align with students' learning preferences, thereby facilitating the transition to Education 4.0.

Abstract

This study examines the epistemological transformation of traditional Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in fostering Islamic moderation within contemporary Indonesian society. Through a qualitative approach combining phenomenological and critical-hermeneutical analysis, this research investigates how pesantren reimagines its educational and social roles beyond conventional boundaries. The study reveals that pesantren's adaptive strategies in promoting moderate Islam operate through three interconnected dimensions: epistemological reconstruction, institutional transformation, and social engagement. Drawing from extensive fieldwork in East Java's prominent pesantren, the findings demonstrate how these institutions effectively integrate traditional Islamic wisdom with modern educational approaches while maintaining their distinctive cultural identity. The research highlights pesantren's unique capability in developing a contemporary framework for Islamic moderation that successfully counters religious radicalism while preserving indigenous Islamic traditions. This study contributes to the broader discourse on religious moderation by presenting Pesantren's innovative approach to bridging traditional Islamic values with modern societal demands.

Abstract

The Eco-Tahfiz initiative in Malaysia integrates Islamic education with environmental sustainability, offering a faith-based educational model that aligns with national priorities and global sustainability goals. This study examines the development of the Eco-Tahfiz initiative, focusing on its key drivers, challenges, and prospects through a qualitative methodology. The key enablers for the Eco-Tahfiz initiative include institutional support, integrating environmental themes into Islamic education, and alignment with cultural-religious values. Key barriers identified include limited teacher training, insufficient integration of intrinsic values, and the predominantly theoretical application of Fiqh al-Bī‘ah. To address these challenges, the study proposes inter-agency collaboration, leadership engagement, teacher capacity building, community participation, and a structured Eco-Tahfiz Action Plan to enhance the initiative's implementation and relevance across broader Muslim educational contexts.

Abstract

Research on the involvement of the Madurese diaspora in West Kalimantan in establishing pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) and their contributions to peace resilience remains limited. This study aims to investigate why and how the Madurese diaspora engages in peace resilience through the establishment of pesantren. Data were gathered through observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analyses using a multiple-case study approach. The results suggest that pesantren have played a vital role in promoting harmony and peace among different ethnic groups through re-education, community empowerment, and interfaith dialogues. This has significant implications for social harmony, cooperation (Handep), social cohesion, solidarity, and the mitigation of ethnic-based provocations. The involvement of pesantren presents a novel perspective on reconstructing strategies for addressing interethnic conflicts, thereby introducing a new cultural construction approach as a framework for future conflict resolution mechanisms.
