Abstract

Strengthening the value of religious moderation in schools is important to be done early to prevent extreme and intolerant ideologies. The principal has a strategic role in fostering a school culture that is inclusive, tolerant, and respects diversity. This study aims to describe the principal's transformational leadership strategy in strengthening religious moderation through Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study method at SMPN 4 Limbangan Garut and SMP Adzzimat Da'i Indonesia Rancaekek Bandung. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles & Huberman interactive model. The results showed that the principal implemented transformational leadership through: (1) exemplary behavior in tolerance and inclusive behavior; (2) inspirational motivation through coaching and counseling on the value of moderation; (3) intellectual stimulation by encouraging teachers and students to think critically and reflectively regarding religious issues; (4) individual consideration with guidance according to the needs of teachers and students; and (5) implementation of moderation-based PAI learning through discussions, case studies, and integration of national values. Obstacles such as teacher resistance, limited resources, and differences in student backgrounds were overcome through training, effective communication, and collaboration. In conclusion, the principal's transformational leadership was effective in internalizing the value of religious moderation in schools through Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning, thus contributing to the formation of an inclusive, tolerant, and diversity-respecting school culture.

Abstract

This study examines the teacher-student relational ethics in Anwar al-Baz's Tafsir Tarbawi through a systematic literature review (SLR) of 45 works (2007–2023). The analysis shows that al-Baz's Qur'an-based pedagogical framework, rooted in Rabbaniyyah (God-centered education), offers a transformative model to address contemporary educational challenges, including moral degradation, the digital divide, and the crisis of teacher authority. Key findings highlight three pillars of al-Baz's approach: (1) Spiritual accompaniment through prophetic narratives (e.g., the story of Musa-Khidir in Q.S. Al-Kahfi: 60-82), (2) Dialogic learning in line with the principle of wisdom in Q.S. An-Nahl: 125, and (3) Holistic accountability that integrates cognitive, affective, and spiritual development. Despite its theoretical richness, only 30% of studies explore its application in digital contexts, highlighting important shortcomings in virtual ethics, such as addressing cyberbullying based on Q.S. Al-Hujurat: 11-13. This study proposes the Tarbawi Integration Framework to bridge Qur'anic ethics with modern pedagogy, emphasizing curriculum redesign, teacher training in digital-spiritual literacy, and evidence-based policies for inclusive education. These recommendations align with SDG 4 (Quality Education) and address the vision of Golden Indonesia 2045, positioning al-Baz's work as an important resource for ethical education reform in the era of artificial intelligence.

Abstract

The financial sustainability of private Islamic senior secondary schools in Indonesia represents a strategic challenge that has received limited scholarly attention through systematic financial sustainability frameworks. This study aims to diagnose the sustainability of financing, analyze the orientation of educational investment, and evaluate budgeting practices through the lens of Islamic Education Management (IEM) at Madrasah Aliyah Mathla'ul Anwar Pameuntasan, Bandung Regency. A qualitative approach with a single case study design was employed; data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with three key informants guided by a structured interview protocol encompassing four thematic domains, field observation, and documentary analysis of e-RKAM data for fiscal year 2025, analyzed using the Miles–Huberman–Saldana interactive model supplemented by Herfindahl–Hirschman Index (HHI) calculations. Findings indicate: (1) revenue concentration formally reaches HHI = 1.0 with a 0% operating margin and no financial reserves, signaling a financially vulnerable condition; (2) a critical investment allocation distortion exists between physical infrastructure (19.6%) and teacher professional development (0.5%); and (3) the institution partially fulfills the amanah and shaffafiyyah principles but remains deficient in the maslahah and istimrar dimensions. Two testable propositions are advanced, and this study contributes an integrative, e-RKAM-based diagnostic framework for private Islamic secondary schools within an IEM context.

Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of how managing English language instruction grounded in the Joyful Learning approach enhances elementary students’ writing skills. Joyful Learning, conceptualized as a pedagogical model promoting enjoyable, creative, and emotionally supportive learning, is examined within Fayol’s managerial framework consisting of planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling. Employing a qualitative case study design, the research collected data through non-participatory classroom observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis involving English teachers, school principals, and fifth-grade students from SDN Ciwalen and SDN Cipanas 3. Findings reveal that when Joyful Learning is implemented through systematic managerial processes, it yields significant improvements in learner engagement, intrinsic motivation, affective readiness, and technical writing proficiency. Digital media, game-based activities, and contextual writing tasks effectively reduced language anxiety while strengthening spelling accuracy, sentence organization, and creative expression. Key challenges identified include limited digital infrastructure, heterogeneous student abilities, and the inherent complexity of English orthography. Practical recommendations emphasize the need for enhanced teacher training in creative instructional design, increased availability of interactive learning tools, and sustained instructional supervision rooted in reflective dialogue. Contribution: This study advances the theoretical discourse on educational management by proposing an integrative model that bridges classical managerial principles with contemporary humanistic pedagogy, offering both a conceptual framework and an actionable strategy for elementary schools seeking to cultivate effective, joyful, and sustainable writing instruction.

Abstract

This study examines the socio-religious transformation of Indonesian Generation Z Muslims, focusing on the tension between pragmatic digital access and the theological obligation to uphold doctrinal validity through sanad (chains of transmission) and aqidah (creed). Drawing on the concepts of Digital Bricolage, Algorithmic Authority, and the Digital Authenticity Paradox, the study explains how users assemble personalized spiritual resources while software-based validation potentially supplants the authority of spiritual teachers. Employing a critical qualitative netnography, the research combines semi-structured interviews (both offline and online) with digital participant observation of app interactions among urban and suburban Muslims aged 18–26 who are unaffiliated with mass religious organizations and utilize at least three religious apps. Findings indicate that mobile apps fragment traditional religious authority, creating a fluid digital spiritual landscape. "Developer blindness" leads users to prioritize aesthetics and utility over the developers' ideological and scholarly backgrounds, resulting in a breakdown of structural sanad and a decontextualized, fragmented religious understanding—yielding subjective fulfillment alongside a detachment from valid scholarly lineages. The study recommends theological standards for religious apps and urges Islamic organizations to translate sanad and fiqh (jurisprudence) methodologies into interactive infographics, AI tools, and game-based learning. It advances the field of digital religion studies by formulating the Digital Authenticity Paradox and integrating sanad and aqidah as key epistemological variables in the digital religiosity of Southeast Asian Muslims.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze technology-based mathematics learning management and its contribution to enhancing students' motivation to learn at SDN Palasari and SDN Cibalagung. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach with a comparative case study design, the research involved teachers, principals, and students in grades IV–VI through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The results indicate that all stages of learning management—based on the POAC framework—functioned relatively effectively. Planning involved aligning objectives, content, and digital media (e.g., GeoGebra, video tutorials, interactive quizzes), resulting in structured learning activities focused on conceptual understanding and student motivation. Organizing was demonstrated through adaptive strategies tailored to school conditions, including role allocation, device rotation, BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) utilization, and offline access to materials. Implementation via flipped classroom and blended learning models successfully increased student participation, engagement, and learning autonomy. Evaluation utilized digital features for formative assessment, learning analytics, and rapid feedback, serving as a basis for reflection and instructional improvement. Follow-up actions included adaptive remediation, enrichment, and teacher-student reflection, which were shown to strengthen students' self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation. Despite challenges regarding infrastructure readiness, varying levels of digital literacy, and teacher workload, the integration of technology provided an engaging, interactive learning experience that fostered student independence. This study contributes to the development of a technology-based learning management model that is adaptive, contextual, and aligned with the “Kurikulum Merdeka” (Independent Curriculum), while also recommending enhancements to teachers' digital competence, infrastructure strengthening, and institutional support to ensure the sustainability of these practices.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has transformed religious communication patterns from conventional spaces to open and interactive virtual public spaces. Social media has become not only a means of disseminating religious teachings but also an arena for contesting various truth claims involving perspectives of exclusivism, inclusivism, and pluralism. This condition often gives rise to religious tensions due to differing perspectives on religious truth, reinforced by the logic of algorithms and the culture of digital virality. This study aims to analyze how religious truth claims are constructed and negotiated in the digital space, identify the factors that give rise to tensions between exclusivism, inclusivism, and pluralism, and examine the role of communication ethics in managing these tensions. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data sources consisting of religious communication content in digital media and various relevant academic literature. Data were collected through digital observation, documentation, and library research, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive analysis model. The results show that the digital space has become a primary arena for the construction and negotiation of religious truth claims, influenced by digital authority, media algorithms, and audience participation. This research also uncovered the phenomenon of digital performative exclusivism, namely the aggressive use of religious truth claims to gain legitimacy and popularity. Furthermore, communication ethics plays a crucial role as a bridge for dialogue through the principles of moral responsibility, information verification, and respect for diversity. Therefore, strengthening digital literacy and religious communication ethics is necessary to create a more inclusive, tolerant, and constructive digital space.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the representation of interfaith communication ethics in the digital space through the interaction between Habib Husein Ja’far and Bhante Buddha Dhirapuñño in the Login podcast. The research focuses on examining how religious figures apply the values of respect, tolerance, and inclusive dialogue in conversations before a digital audience. This research employs a qualitative approach using content analysis as the primary method. Data were collected by documenting two relevant podcast episodes, which were selected because they feature direct interaction between the two religious leaders. The findings indicate that the communication presented reflects a constructive form of interfaith ethics, characterized by mutual respect, openness, non-offensive humor, and efforts to identify shared humanitarian values. These findings demonstrate that digital media can serve as a positive platform for interreligious dialogue when guided by ethical awareness.

Abstract

Modernity, which is expected to shift the spiritual dimension, has actually given rise to a spiritual turn among educated urban communities. In Indonesia, the Qadiriyyah wa Naqsyabandiyyah (TQN) Suryalaya Order has demonstrated its ability to maintain and expand its base of followers from academics, professionals, and intellectuals. This study aims to analyze the dialectic of TQN Suryalaya's da'wah in responding to modern intellectual skepticism, examine the construction of the Sufi epistemology it developed, and explain the process of epistemic synthesis that occurs among educated urban students. The study used a qualitative approach with a hermeneutic phenomenological design within a critical-constructivist paradigm. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, participant observation in dhikr assemblies and halaqahs, and analysis of primary documents in the form of TQN teachings and recordings of da'wah lectures. The analysis was conducted through thematic analysis and critical discourse analysis. The results show that intellectual skepticism towards Sufism encompasses epistemological, theological, and pragmatic dimensions. TQN Suryalaya builds a hierarchical Sufi epistemology through the concepts of 'ilm al-yaqin, 'ain al-yaqin, and haqq al-yaqin, which encourages the birth of integrative rationality as a synthesis between scientific reason and spiritual experience. This finding shows that TQN Suryalaya's da'wah develops a strategy of intellectualizing Sufism through epistemic dialogue with modernity and enriches the study of urban Sufism in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to critically analyze the macro-level implementation of Sharia within the global democratization landscape, unravel the shortcomings of conventional religious approaches to the psychosocial crises of younger generations, and propose the Holistic Spiritual Qur’anic (HSQ) method as a contemporary psychospiritual solution. The core conceptual definitions of this research center on the integration of Qur'anic values, irshad guidance, lived religion, and existential mental health. Utilizing a qualitative analytical approach with a conceptual study design and critical literature synthesis, the scope of this research encompasses the political dynamics of Sharia in various Muslim-majority countries alongside the empirical implementation of the HSQ method at the Pesantren Integritas Qur’ani Bandung. The primary findings reveal that rigid Sharia interpretations and political instrumentalism at the macro level destructively impact citizens' psychological well-being; conversely, micro-level interventions via HSQ stages (re-code, re-charge, and re-cover) significantly foster spiritual resilience, reduce existential anxiety, and cultivate independent emotional regulation. The main challenge of this study lies in its localized empirical validation, which necessitates broader clinical evaluation. Practically, this method is highly recommended for widespread adaptation in Islamic educational institutions and community counseling frameworks.
