Abstract

Islamic modernism represents an intellectual and social transformation process that seeks to respond to contemporary developments while maintaining the fundamental values of Islamic teachings. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of Islamic modernism from the perspectives of education and social change, focusing on its renewal orientation, scope of development, and contemporary challenges. This research employs a qualitative approach using the library research method. Data were obtained from relevant academic literature and analyzed through descriptive-critical content analysis. The findings indicate that Islamic modernism is oriented toward strengthening intellectual traditions, developing knowledge, reforming Islamic education, and contextualizing Islamic values within changing social realities. The scope of Islamic modernism includes intellectual development, educational transformation, social engagement, technological advancement, and cultural adaptation. Meanwhile, contemporary challenges involve the tension between tradition and modernity, diversity of religious interpretations, globalization, and digital transformation. This study highlights that Islamic modernism requires an integrative approach that connects intellectual renewal, educational development, and social transformation to enable Muslims to respond critically and constructively to contemporary challenges while preserving Islamic identity.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of the Independent Curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka) in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning at SMP Negeri 2 Plemahan, Kediri Regency, along with the underlying pedagogical challenges, structural dynamics, and strategic solutions implemented by educators. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach grounded in social constructivist framework, data were collected through non-participant observation, semi-structured in-depth interviews, and institutional document analysis involving the school principal, PAI teachers, and seventh-grade students. The findings demonstrate that the implementation process encompasses three core stages: 1) Systematic planning, comprising the analysis of Learning Outcomes (Capaian Pembelajaran/CP), formulation of Learning Objectives (Tujuan Pembelajaran/TP), structuring of Learning Objective Flow (Alur Tujuan Pembelajaran/ATP), and designing flexible teaching modules; 2) Instructional execution, organized into preliminary, core, and closing activities enriched with experiential religious practices such as mandatory congregational Dhuhr prayers; and 3) Comprehensive assessment, integrating diagnostic, formative, and summative evaluations. Key challenges identified include teacher adaptation barriers from the 2013 Curriculum, operational difficulties in executing differentiated instruction for standardized ritualistic PAI topics, and managing wide cognitive heterogeneity among students. Strategies deployed to overcome these obstacles include peer-led collaborative learning, inquiry-based pedagogical models, participation in internal/external professional development workshops, and continuous intra-departmental teacher coordination

Abstract

The low level of student activeness and interest in learning is a significant issue when the learning process is monotonous, teacher-centered, and fails to connect materials with students' life experiences. This condition was observed in the learning process of Class VIII K students at MTs Al-Mahrusiyah Lirboyo, Kediri City, necessitating a learning strategy capable of creating a relevant, interactive, and meaningful learning experience. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Contextual Learning in improving students' activeness and interest in learning, as well as to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors of its application. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were obtained through classroom observations, in-depth interviews with the madrasah principal, teachers, and students, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted interactively through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the implementation of Contextual Learning was realized through classroom conditioning, student involvement, connecting materials with real-life experiences, using inspiring stories, questioning, varying learning activities, giving appreciation, and conducting reflections. These strategies showed a positive tendency toward changing students' activeness and learning interest, characterized by increased attention, courage to answer questions, enthusiasm, comfort, and ease in understanding the material. Supporting factors included teacher competence and creativity as well as the learning environment, while inhibiting factors encompassed unstable student motivation, the high density of pesantren (Islamic boarding school) activities, fatigue, time management, and limited facilities. The study concludes that Contextual Learning has the potential to build a more active, engaging, and meaningful learning experience through the interconnection between learning materials, student experiences, classroom interactions, and real life

Abstract

The teaching of kitab kuning (classical Islamic texts) is an important component of pesantren scholarship, yet its continuity also requires structured learning management that responds to students’ learning needs. This study examines the management of Al-Miftah Lil Ulum learning at Pondok Pesantren I’dadiyah Sidogiri Tholabuddin Kauman, Bondowoso, focusing on instructional planning, implementation, and evaluation. A qualitative case study design was employed. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis and examined using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña analytical model, comprising data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings indicate that learning management involves the planning of objectives and materials, the organization of learning levels, scheduling, and the assignment of teachers. Instruction integrates the traditional bandongan, sorogan, and murāja’ah practices with staged learning according to students’ levels of competence. Evaluation is conducted through memorization, oral questioning, kitab reading practice, and level-progression tests, followed by repetition and additional guidance for students who have not achieved the expected targets. Based on these findings, the study proposes Adaptive Salaf Learning Management (ASLM) as a context-sensitive conceptual framework for understanding the integration of pesantren pedagogical traditions, instructional organization, and assessment-informed adjustment. The framework represents an interpretation derived from a single case study and requires further examination across pesantren with diverse institutional and pedagogical characteristics.

Abstract

The charismatic leadership of kiai plays an important role in shaping organizational communication within Islamic boarding schools (pesantren). Its influence extends beyond formal authority to include moral exemplarity, spiritual legitimacy, and religious practices that foster collective solidarity. This study aims to analyze the role of charismatic kiai leadership in developing vertical, horizontal, and diagonal communication at Pondok Pesantren Ibnu Kholdun Al Hasyimi in Widoropayung, Besuki, Situbondo, Indonesia. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through interviews, participant observation, and documentation, and analyzed through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings indicate that vertical communication is shaped by exemplary conduct, respectful language, and decision-making that combines deliberation with spiritual considerations. Horizontal communication is supported by the Islamic principle of ta’awun (mutual assistance), deliberation, and collective solidarity, which strengthen cooperation among organizational members. Meanwhile, diagonal communication develops through open interactions across hierarchical boundaries, inter-unit coordination, and the involvement of alumni and the surrounding community. Religious practices also contribute to maintaining shared values and social bonds within the pesantren community. However, reliance on the kiai as the central decision-maker and communication intermediary may limit organizational autonomy. This study highlights the importance of integrating spiritually grounded leadership with formal communication systems to support the sustainability of organizational communication in Islamic boarding schools

Abstract

This study was conducted as a preventive response to various negative issues currently associated with Islamic educational institutions, particularly pesantren (Islamic boarding schools). These issues range from allegations that pesantren serve as breeding grounds for radicalism to concerns regarding violence manifested through bullying and other forms of deviant behavior. This research employed a qualitative case study approach to provide an in-depth, contextual, and holistic understanding of the complex social phenomena occurring within pesantren. The findings reveal that the formation of civic virtue in pesantren is implemented through various educational practices, including fostering multicultural understanding, cultivating positive attitudes, promoting ethical social interactions, teaching respect for religious scholars, developing courtesy toward elders and knowledgeable individuals, strengthening religious faith, and nurturing unity, solidarity, and strong familial bonds among students. These values are reflected across the dimensions of civic knowledge, civic disposition, and civic skills. The study demonstrates that pesantren function as essential moral institutions that contribute significantly to the character development of the younger generation. Furthermore, pesantren play a strategic role in mediating educational processes by integrating religious knowledge with general education and digital literacy, thereby preparing students to become responsible digital citizens in the era of digital transformation

Abstract

This study examines the celebration of Maulid, the Prophet Muhammad’s birthday, as a cultural-pedagogical practice that shapes public religious subjects in Madurese Islam. Moving beyond interpretations of Maulid as merely commemorative or symbolic, it investigates how ritual participation transmits Islamic values, reproduces kyai authority, and sustains communal identity across generations. The study employed a qualitative, multi-sited ethnographic design in Camplong District, Sampang, Madura. Data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews with kyai, community elders, adults, adolescents, and younger attendees, as well as documentary analysis of ritual materials. Data were analyzed thematically using NVivo 15 through open coding, thematic clustering, and code co-occurrence analysis. The findings indicate that Maulid functions as lived religion, informal religious education, situated learning, and cultural pedagogy. Participants learn religious norms through observation, imitation, repetition, bodily discipline, Barzanji and shalawat recitation, food sharing, and communal labor rather than through formal instruction. Kyai authority is reproduced relationally through ritual leadership, spatial centrality, and communal recognition. Maulid also cultivates emotional attachment to the Prophet, social solidarity, respect for authority, and religious habitus. The study concludes that Maulid is a significant mechanism of Islamic social reproduction in Madurese society. It contributes to scholarship on lived religion, religious education, and ritual studies by showing how communal ritual shapes religious identity through embodied, affective, and intergenerational practice

Abstract

The Qur’an and Sunnah occupy central positions in Islamic epistemology, providing religious guidance and ethical foundations for the pursuit of knowledge. This article examines their roles as sources of knowledge, the relationship between qauliyah verses and kauniyah signs, and the relevance of Islamic epistemological principles to contemporary scientific development. This study employs a qualitative library research approach using descriptive-analytical methods. The analysis focuses on relevant concepts in the Qur’an and Sunnah and scholarly literature published since 2021. The findings indicate that the Qur’an provides fundamental principles that encourage reflection, reasoning, and the pursuit of knowledge, while the Sunnah explains and exemplifies the practical application of Islamic teachings. Reason and empirical observation contribute to systematic investigations of natural and social phenomena, whereas revelation provides ethical direction for the responsible use of scientific knowledge. The integration of revelation, reason, and empirical inquiry should not replace scientific methods but should promote academic integrity, critical thinking, social responsibility, and human welfare. This study concludes that the Qur’an and Sunnah remain relevant to contemporary knowledge development when interpreted carefully and integrated with reliable evidence and responsible scientific practices.
