Abstract

Religious moderation has emerged as a strategic issue in Islamic education in response to the growing challenges of extremism, ideological polarization, and intolerance within pluralistic societies. Although the discourse on religious moderation has been widely examined from sociological, political, and educational policy perspectives, studies that critically connect it with the epistemological foundations of classical Islamic theology remain limited. This article analyzes the convergence between the principles of religious moderation—tawassuṭ (the middle path), tawāzun (balance), and iʿtidāl (justice)—and classical kalām theory, particularly within the Ashʿarite theological tradition, and explores their relevance for strengthening Islamic education. This study employs a qualitative library research design using a historical–philosophical and educational approach. Primary data are drawn from classical Ashʿarite theological texts, especially discussions on the synthesis of reason and revelation and the doctrine of kasb. In contrast, secondary data include scholarly books, peer-reviewed journal articles, and policy documents on religious moderation and Islamic education. Data analysis is conducted through thematic classification, critical-comparative reading, and conceptual synthesis. The findings indicate that religious moderation is not merely a contemporary policy agenda or a socio-political response to extremism, but a theological-educational paradigm deeply rooted in classical Islamic intellectual heritage. Ashʿarite theology, through its balanced integration of reason and revelation and its doctrine of kasb, provides a moderate framework that affirms both divine sovereignty and human moral responsibility. These findings imply that integrating classical kalām into Islamic education strengthens the epistemological legitimacy of religious moderation and supports the development of curricula and pedagogical models that are critical, inclusive, and contextually responsive to contemporary challenges.

Abstract

Fiqh learning based on classical Islamic texts in pesantren plays an important role in shaping students’ religious understanding and worship practices. However, it often faces challenges such as limited instructional time and students’ varying levels of Arabic language proficiency. One of the classical texts used in Fiqh instruction is the Kitab Fathul Qarib, which requires systematic learning management. This study aims to describe the planning, implementation, and evaluation of Fiqh learning based on the Kitab Fathul Qarib at Al-Azhar Bi’Ibadillah Islamic Boarding School, South Tapanuli Regency. The research employed a qualitative approach using a case study design as proposed by Creswell. The informants consisted of Fiqh teachers, dormitory supervisors, and third-grade Tsanawiyah students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman. The findings indicate that Fiqh learning is planned by aligning instructional materials and teaching methods with students’ abilities. The learning process is implemented through the bandongan and sorogan methods. Evaluation covers both academic aspects and practical worship practices, such as ablution and prayer, which are reinforced through mudzakarah activities and guidance from senior students. The study implies that Fiqh learning based on the Kitab Fathul Qarib is effective in improving students’ understanding and practice of Fiqh, although strengthening Arabic language skills and managing instructional time remain necessary.
