Abstract

This article examines the irony of madhhab claims in the religious practices of the Salafiyyin and Nahdiyyin communities in Indonesia, both of which identify themselves with the Shāfiʿī school of law. The objective of this research is to analyze the differing ways in which Salafiyyin and Nahdiyyin understand, interpret, and express the authority of the Shāfiʿī madhhab in religious practice. This study employs a qualitative approach with a comparative-descriptive method through an analysis of classical Shāfiʿī legal literature as well as contemporary religious discourses and practices, particularly those related to collective dhikr, tahlīl, grave visitation (ziyārat al-qubūr), tabarruk, and outward symbols of Islamic identity. The findings indicate that the contested religious practices are not entirely principled in nature but are shaped by differences in interpretive methodology (manhaj al-fahm), epistemological orientation, and the construction of socio-religious identity. This study affirms that the Shāfiʿī madhhab encompasses a broad and dynamic spectrum of views. The novelty of this research lies in situating the Salafiyyin–Nahdiyyin debate within an intra-madhhab framework, with policy implications for strengthening inclusive and moderate religious approaches in managing the diversity of Islamic practices in Indonesia.

Abstract

Solid waste management problems are getting worse in Muslim-majority communities due to rapid urbanization, poor funding, and a lack of technological integration.AI developments offer promising answers for recycling and garbage sorting, but their use is hampered by expenses and a lack of assistance. The function of waqf, or Islamic endowments, as a sustainable financing option consistent with Islamic principles is examined in this paper. It seeks to evaluate current waqf-funded environmental projects, determine whether AI in trash management is compatible with Islamic beliefs, and suggest a structure for "green waqf" financing to improve recycling programs. The study employs a qualitative and analytical research design, utilizing case study analysis of particular waqf-supported environmental projects, a survey of recent literature on Islamic social finance and environmental sustainability, and doctrinal examination of Islamic jurisprudential sources. Thematic content analysis is used to combine knowledge from policy reports, empirical investigations, and ancient Islamic texts that are pertinent to waste management, AI technologies, and waqf. The results show that waqf financing's sustainable framework, which encourages community involvement and strengthens environmental responsibility, can greatly enhance AI waste management. Legal changes for waqf investments in technology and capacity-building for waqf administrators are among the recommendations. By connecting waqf, artificial intelligence, and sustainable waste management, this study advances the area and emphasizes the importance of waqf in contemporary environmental solutions.

Abstract

The phenomenon of religious extremism and radicalism currently poses a serious challenge to social stability and national harmony in Indonesia. This ideology often stems from a narrow, rigid, and exclusive understanding of religion, which, if left unchecked, can undermine national integration and trigger horizontal conflicts. This study aims to analyze the roots of extremist thinking, its impact on interfaith harmony, and how these ideologies represent deviations from religious doctrine. In addition, this study seeks to offer strategic solutions through the concept of religious moderation (wasatiyyah) by promoting the value of tasamuh (tolerance). This study uses a qualitative method with a library research approach. Data sourced from scientific journals, books, and relevant documents are analyzed using content analysis techniques with a descriptive-critical approach to obtain an in-depth picture of the phenomenon being studied. The results of the study show that the roots of extremism are complex, covering ideological, theological, socio-political, and psychological factors. The most prominent deviation in faith is found in the takfiri view (easily accusing others of heresy), which directly threatens unity. The main solution offered is the strengthening of religious moderation that balances between ukhuwah Islamiyah (Islamic brotherhood) and ukhuwah wathaniyah (national brotherhood). The novelty of this research lies in the integration of the value of ukhuwah wathaniyah as a theological foundation in maintaining national harmony amid the tide of radicalism. The policy implication is the importance for the government and educational institutions to mainstream religious moderation curricula and strengthen inclusive religious literacy in order to counter the spread of extremist ideas at the grassroots level.

Abstract

Through rapid technological advancement, social change, and increasing global competency demands, globalization has significantly transformed educational systems. These developments require traditional Islamic education to preserve its Islamic values and adapt to contemporary challenges. This study examines the relevance of traditional Islamic education in the era of globalization, identifies its major challenges, and creates appropriate adaptation strategies. A qualitative library research approach was employed by analyzing scholarly books, journal articles, and other relevant academic sources. The findings indicate that traditional Islamic education remains highly relevant in fostering moral character, spirituality, and religious moderation. However, it faces challenges related to digital transformation, cultural shifts, and competition with modern educational institutions. Adaptation strategies include integrating educational technology, reforming the curriculum, strengthening teachers’ competencies, enhancing character education, and promoting collaboration with universities, governments, and digital institutions. This study’s novelty lies in proposing a conceptual adaptation model that integrates the preservation of traditional Islamic educational values with the demands of global educational transformation. The findings provide policy recommendations for developing adaptive, innovative, and sustainable Islamic education systems.

Abstract

This study analyzes  the implementation of Islamic ecotheological values in farming practices in traditional Islamic boarding schools as a hidden curriculum for shaping student’s character . The global ecological crisis, rooted in the anthropocentric paradigm calls for  spiritual reconstruction through experience-based Islamic education. Yet, the role of traditional Islamic boarding schools without formal environmental programs is often overlooked in eco-Islamic boarding school discourse. Employing  a qualitative case study approach at Azziyadah Islamic Boarding School, Cirebon, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies, then analyzed thematically using NVivo 12. The findings reveal ree that farming practices are not merely economic activities, but rather a medium for spiritual education that encompasses three dimensions of the hidden curriculum: direct instruction, religious reflection, and the exemplary behavior of the kyai (uswah hasanah). ogether, these dimensions synergistically internalize the values of tauhid, amanah, khalifah, and gratitude, aligning with principles of curriculum relevance and integration.  The novelty of this research lies in revealing the mechanism of organic ecological value transmission through cultural obedience (ta’dzim) in traditional Islamic boarding schools. This research indicates  that this hidden curriculum model can be replicated as an alternative policy recommendation for the Ministry of Religious Affairs and related institutions to strengthen environmentally conscious character education in contemporary Islamic educational settings, complementing existing structural approaches.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a spiritual experience-based Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning model by integrating the Tajribi method, David Kolb’s Experiential Learning theory, and the practice of Ngaji Rasa. The primary problem addressed is the current dominance of cognitive-informative approaches in PAI instruction, which frequently neglects the affective-spiritual dimension the core essence of Islamic education. Unlike previous research, this study synthesizes lived experience, inner reflection, Qur’anic meaning-making, and riyadhah (spiritual discipline) practices into a novel pedagogical framework. Employing a conceptual Research and Development (R&D) design, this study utilizes a theoretical synthesis approach to formulate an integrative instructional model. The findings reveal an epistemological and pedagogical convergence among the three approaches, manifested in a four-stage learning cycle: Tajribi Experience, Rasa Reflection, Qur'anic Conceptualization, and Riyadhah Action. The resulting Islamic Experiential Learning model offers a holistic framework that seamlessly blends concrete experience, inner reflection, Qur'an-based conceptualization, and continuous spiritual practice. Theoretically, this study contributes significantly to the advancement of the "pedagogy of rasa" (inner sentiment) within Islamic education. Practically, the model aligns with Indonesia’s Kurikulum Merdeka (Independent Curriculum) and is highly applicable in pesantrens (Islamic boarding schools), madrasahs, and public schools to foster robust character transformation among students.

Abstract

Digital governance has become a fundamental component of quality assurance in higher education within the era of Quality 4.0. However, its implementation frequently emphasizes administrative compliance and data-driven performance indicators, thereby diminishing the humanistic dimension of quality assurance, particularly in Islamic higher education institutions. This study aims to reconstruct a humanistic digital quality governance framework at Ittifaqiah Al-Qur'an University (UQI) Indralaya through the integration of the ethnopedagogical values of South Sumatra and pesantren spirituality. The study employed a qualitative approach using a conceptual-philosophical design based on library research. Data were analyzed interpretively through a review of the literature on digital governance, Quality 4.0, ethnopedagogy, Simbur Cahaya, and pesantren values. The findings indicate that the PPEPP cycle can be reconstructed by integrating Simbur Cahaya as the ethical foundation of quality assurance, Saling Setiti as the professional ethic guiding quality management, and Saling Setuhu as the basis for dialogic and collaborative evaluation. The novelty of this study lies in the development of a conceptual framework that integrates the ethnopedagogical values of South Sumatra and pesantren spirituality into digital quality governance. These findings provide implications for the development of more contextual, humanistic, and locally grounded policies for the Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI) and higher education accreditation.

Abstract

Research on multiple intelligences has been predominantly developed within psychological theories, particularly Howard Gardner’s framework, while its epistemological foundations from an Islamic perspective have received limited scholarly attention. Previous studies have generally discussed Qur'anic perspectives on human potential or the application of multiple intelligences in education separately, without establishing an integrated epistemological framework that connects Islamic religious education to Qur'anic concepts of knowledge, human nature, and intelligence. To address this gap, this study examines the epistemological foundations of multiple intelligences from the perspective of the Qur’an and explores their implications for IR education. This study employed a qualitative library research approach using descriptive and analytical methods. Data were collected through an analysis of Qur'anic verses, classical and contemporary kafir, and relevant literature on multiple intelligences and Islamic education. The findings demonstrate that the Qur'an conceptualizes intelligence as a holistic human capacity rooted in the integration of 'aql (reason), qalb (heart), sam' (hearing), and baṣar (sight), which collectively serve as epistemological instruments for acquiring, understanding, and internalizing knowledge. Unlike conventional perspectives that primarily emphasize cognitive dimensions, the Qur’anic perspective positions spiritual and moral dimensions as the foundation that integrates various forms of human intelligence. This study contributes an Islamic epistemological framework for understanding multiple intelligences and provides a theoretical basis for developing more holistic, inclusive, and student-centered approaches to IR that accommodate learners’ diverse potentials while strengthening faith, character, and intellectual development.

Abstract

The religious development of postgraduate students has received limited scholarly attention, particularly regarding the interaction of academic and spiritual experiences within Islamic higher education. This study aims to analyze the religious development of Master’s students in the Quranic Studies and Tafsir program, Class D, at UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta through the perspective of William James’ theory of religious experience. A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed to explore the lived religious experiences of students in academic, personal, and social contexts. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations involving eight purposively selected informants and analyzed thematically. The findings reveal two distinct patterns of religious development: four students experienced significant growth in religiosity, while the remaining four showed relatively stable religious orientations. These developmental processes were shaped by internal factors, including religious beliefs, personal reflection, and spiritual awareness, together with external factors, such as academic discussions, social interactions, and campus religious activities. The findings demonstrate that the dimensions of ineffability, noetic quality, and transiency proposed by William James are reflected in the religious experiences of the students, highlighting the transformative role of subjective spiritual encounters. The novelty of this study lies in its integration William James’ theory of religious experience in the context of Islamic postgraduate education offers a deeper understanding of graduate students’ religious development. These findings imply that Islamic higher education institutions should strengthen reflection-based learning, dialogical classrooms, and structured spiritual development programs to foster religious growth among students while contributing to the advancement of the psychology of religion literature within contemporary Islamic higher education.

Abstract

Rationality constitutes a fundamental foundation for developing geography as a scientific discipline in understanding the relationships among humans, the environment, and culture. Geography requires an epistemological framework that integrates scientific, philosophical, and ethical dimensions during increasingly complex environmental challenges. Nevertheless, studies synthesizing scientific rationality, Western philosophy, Tan Malaka’s Madilog (Materialism, Dialectics, and Logic), and Islamic philosophy within geographical studies remain limited. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the concept of rationality in geography by integrating these philosophical traditions to strengthen environmental ethics and develop a more comprehensive geographical epistemology. This research employed a qualitative method using a library research approach by examining primary and secondary literature on philosophy, philosophy of science, geography, Islamic philosophy, and Madilog. Data were analyzed using descriptive-analytical techniques through comparison, interpretation, and conceptual synthesis of relevant philosophical perspectives. The findings reveal that scientific rationality provides empirical verification and methodological rigor, Western philosophy contributes to logical and critical reasoning, Madilog strengthens dialectical and contextual analysis of socio-environmental realities, and Islamic philosophy enriches geographical thought by integrating reason, revelation, and spiritual values into environmental ethics. The synthesis of these perspectives produces a holistic epistemological framework that enhances the understanding of human–environment interactions and promotes scientific, cultural, and religious values-based ecological awareness. The novelty of this study lies in the integration of scientific rationality, Western philosophy, Madilog, and Islamic philosophy into a unified geographical epistemology that incorporates ethical and spiritual dimensions and extends beyond conventional empirical approaches. The findings also have important policy implications for strengthening environmental education, integrating environmental ethics into geography curricula, and supporting sustainable environmental governance through culturally and spiritually informed approaches.
