Abstract

Islamic education in the twenty-first century requires curriculum and pedagogical reform that responds to technological, intellectual, and socio-cultural change without weakening Islam’s epistemological, ethical, and spiritual foundations. This study develops a holistic-integrative framework for Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in pesantren-based higher education. Using a qualitative case-study approach, data were obtained through participant observation, in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, analysis of academic documents, and relevant scholarly literature. The findings show that curriculum reform should move beyond knowledge transmission and doctrinal mastery toward five interconnected dimensions: knowing, doing, meaning, sensing, and being. These dimensions are operationalized through the integration of aqliyyah, qolbiyyah, and jismiyyah, supported by an Islamic worldview, interdisciplinary knowledge, scientific rationality, experiential learning, blended learning, and digital technology. The study argues that meaningful reform requires an integrated educational ecosystem linking curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, technology, and character formation. Its implementation depends on lecturer competence, digital infrastructure, institutional policy, and authentic assessment capable of evaluating knowledge, skills, values, spirituality, and character

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the dynamics of organizational behavior within Islamic educational institutions, focusing specifically on the interaction between an organizational culture based on Islamic values and prophetic leadership styles. The method employed is descriptive qualitative with a library research approach. Data were collected from various sources, including documents, scientific articles, and books. The results indicate that organizational behavior in Islamic educational institutions is unique, as it integrates modern management professionalism with spiritual values such as siddiq (truthfulness), amanah (trustworthiness), tabligh (advocacy), fathonah (wisdom), and tabayyun (verification). Effective leadership was identified as a key factor in managing group dynamics and strengthening a work culture that views "work as a form of worship." Consequently, the synchronization between the foundation's vision and the school's operational leadership is crucial in determining organizational stability and innovation in the era of disruption. This integration also supports institutional adaptability, strengthens employee commitment, and encourages sustainable educational development while maintaining Islamic identity and organizational integrity.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the process of internalizing the value of fastabiqul khairat through the Plastic Bottle Waste Bank Program at Pondok Pesantren Dalam Pagar Kandangan. The program was implemented as an effort to address the issue of plastic waste while simultaneously serving as a medium for character education among students (santri). This research employed a qualitative approach with a field research design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the Head of Student Affairs (Su’unith Thalabah) and the Head of the Sanitation Division (Qism Tanzif) as the main informants. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through source triangulation.The findings reveal that the internalization of the value of fastabiqul khairat was carried out through three main processes: habituation through routine plastic bottle collection activities, role modeling and religious motivation that linked environmental cleanliness with Islamic faith, and positive competition through inter-grade contests accompanied by rewards for the group collecting the largest number of plastic bottles. The program successfully fostered students’ awareness of maintaining environmental cleanliness, enhanced social concern, developed an attitude of tawadhu’ (humility), and strengthened collective responsibility within the pesantren community. Furthermore, the program contributed to a cleaner boarding school environment and reduced the workload of sanitation staff.

Abstract

Traditional Muslim women in Malabar were striving to find appropriate avenues for Islamic higher education without being deprived of modern education in the late 20th century. During this period, boys had greater access to higher education through the system of Islamic colleges, while opportunities for Muslim women remained limited. This situation created a societal need for an educational initiative that could integrate Islamic teaching with modern education for women, which emerged in the form of Zahrawiyya. This study explores the development and significance of Zahrawiyya as an educational response to the needs of Muslim women in Malabar. Employing a qualitative approach, the study draws on both primary and secondary data collected through semi-structured interviews with concerned authorities, direct observations, and document analysis. It examines the program’s historical significance, curriculum structure, teaching and learning methods, and influence on society and the academic world. The findings indicate that Zahrawiyya has provided Muslim women with opportunities to pursue higher education while maintaining Islamic educational values. The program also demonstrates the potential of integrating Islamic and modern education and can serve as a model of integrated education for Muslim women in Malabar.

Abstract

Homo Economicus has become a prevailing framework for understanding human behaviour in modern economics. The advancement of mathematics has led to the assumption that humans possess perfect calculating abilities and comprehensive knowledge of market and economic mechanisms, resulting in the mechanization of human nature. Therefore, understanding humanity from the Islamic worldview, while removing secularized assumptions in economics, can provide a more complete conception of man. This study aims to formulate an alternative conception of man in economics based on the Islamic worldview. Major works by Western economic philosophers and Muslim scholars, particularly Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas, were historically contextualized and analyzed using philosophical reasoning, historical investigation, and comparative analysis. The study finds that the Homo Economicus concept, initially developed as a tool for understanding human behaviour in economics, has evolved into an ontological conception of humanity oriented toward wealth accumulation. In contrast, the Islamic worldview considers man fundamentally good and unselfish, with the purpose of worshipping Allah SWT by spreading goodness to all creation. This understanding is manifested through a just economic system that considers individual and societal well-being to achieve true happiness in this world and the hereafter.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of public relations management through the Community Da’wah Practice Program (PDM) in improving educational quality at Madrasah Aliyah Nurul Huda al-Banat Kapongan Situbondo. The research is grounded in the importance of education as a strategic instrument for national development and the role of madrasahs in integrating academic and religious values. Using a qualitative intrinsic case study approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, involving school leaders, public relations staff, teachers, students, and community members. The findings reveal that public relations management is conducted systematically through planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling, with emphasis on internal and external communication. The PDM program serves as an innovative medium that strengthens students’ communication skills, leadership, and social awareness while simultaneously enhancing public trust and institutional image. However, challenges remain in terms of structured planning, documentation, and evaluation systems. Overall, the study concludes that strategic and integrated public relations management significantly contributes to improving educational quality, particularly in strengthening stakeholder satisfaction, community engagement, and institutional credibility.

Abstract

Improving the quality of Qur’an learning is a challenge for non-formal Qur’an educational institutions amid public demands for professional and sustainable educational services. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA)-based quality management in improving the quality of Qur’anic education at TPQ Baabussalam in Blitar. The study employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, which were then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The results indicate that the PDCA quality management cycle has been systematically implemented through the planning of learning programs, the implementation of learning using the Usmani Method, evaluation through tashih activities, and follow-up measures such as remedial instruction, curriculum development, and teacher competency enhancement. The implementation of these four stages fosters a culture of continuous improvement, which has led to increased effectiveness in the learning process, consistency in Qur’an learning standards, and enhanced professionalism among educators. These findings confirm that the application of PDCA-based quality management is a relevant strategy for strengthening the quality of Qur’an learning in non-formal Islamic educational institutions.

Abstract

Hadith writing constitutes an essential aspect of Islamic intellectual history, serving to preserve the authenticity of the Prophet Muhammad’s teachings. This article aims to analyze the development of hadith historiography during the mutaqaddimin period (2nd-4th centuries AH) and to identify the principal sources employed in reconstructing the history of hadith during this era. This study adopts a qualitative approach using library research by examining classical works and contemporary studies on hadith codification, historiography, and methodology. The collected data were analyzed through a historical-analytical approach to reconstruct the evolution of hadith writing across different periods. The findings reveal that the second century AH (post-tabi’in) marked the initial phase of systematic hadith codification, the third century AH represented the peak of codification with the emergence of canonical hadith collections and the refinement of isnad criticism, while the fourth century AH was characterized by methodological consolidation through the development of sharh, mustakhraj, mustadrak, and other auxiliary disciplines of hadith studies. The study concludes that hadith writing during the mutaqaddimin period evolved progressively and laid the intellectual foundation for the subsequent development of hadith scholarship.

Abstract

Contemporary Islamic Religious Education faces increasing complexity due to scientific and technological advancements and the widening fragmentation between religious and general knowledge. This study aims to reconstruct Osman Bakar's epistemological framework of knowledge integration and analyze its relevance to contemporary Islamic Religious Education. Employing a qualitative approach with library research, primary sources from Bakar's works and secondary sources on Islamic epistemology were analyzed through identification, categorization, reconstruction, interpretation, and relevance analysis. The findings reveal five main elements of Bakar's epistemology: (1) tawhid as the metaphysical-epistemological foundation, (2) the unity of knowledge, (3) the harmony of revelation, reason, and experience, (4) integration through dual consilience, and (5) a holistic educational orientation. The concept of dual consilience does not mechanically mix disciplines, but rather connects divine and empirical knowledge within a single worldview. These findings confirm the conceptual relevance of Bakar's thought to contemporary Islamic Religious Education, shifting the paradigm from mere "material integration" (matching science with verses) to "worldview integration". This relevance provides Islamic Religious Education with a philosophical framework to address knowledge authority issues in the digital era and fosters students' analytical thinking rooted in revelation without neglecting social reality and science.

Abstract

As traditional Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in Indonesia formalize legal-theological training (tafaqquh fi al-din), Ma’had Aly Salafiyah Syafi'iyah Sukorejo Situbondo pioneers a hybrid educational paradigm (azdiwaj baina at-thariqah), integrating classical seminary traditions with contemporary university methodologies. This study examines how this environment shapes socio-cognitive processes and academic resilience among mahasantri. Using a qualitative phenomenological single-case study grounded in socio-constructivist principles, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with twelve key informants, participant observations, and documentary analysis. Findings show that student-led deliberations (musyawarah) and senior peer-tutoring (Ada') facilitate Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) and strengthen Bandura’s self-efficacy, while positioning faculty as formal rectifiers (mushahhih). Furthermore, residential support systems involving mentors (musyrif/musyrifah) and peer solidarity help mitigate academic stress. Despite infrastructure limitations, noise pollution, and technological restrictions, mahasantri demonstrate spatial agency through flexible study patterns and collective endurance, transforming constraints into opportunities for self-regulated learning. This study demonstrates that communal discipline and moral etiquette (‘adab) complement intellectual autonomy, bridging Western educational psychology and traditional Islamic pedagogy. It also provides an operational framework and policy recommendations for developing and accrediting pesantren-based higher education.
