Abstract

The Umayyad Dynasty (661–750 AD) was the first Islamic dynasty to implement a hereditary monarchy and played a significant role in the massive expansion of Islamic rule. After the end of the Caliphate, power passed to Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan, who founded the dynasty and moved the center of government to Damascus. This study aims to examine the political, social, economic, and religious dynamics during the Umayyad Dynasty through qualitative methods and a literature review approach. The results of the study indicate that the success of the Umayyad expansion to Spain in the west and India in the east was driven by solid military strength, intelligent diplomatic strategies, and an established government administration system. In the economic aspect, the Umayyad Dynasty developed a taxation and currency system that supported the country's financial stability. Infrastructure such as roads, postal services, and communication systems were also improved to support connectivity between regions. In the social and cultural fields, interactions between various ethnicities and religions encouraged the development of science, art, literature, and architecture, including the emergence of a distinctive Islamic architectural style. However, the unequal social system between Arabs and non-Arabs (mawali), as well as discrimination within the government, fueled public dissatisfaction. Furthermore, sectarian conflict between Sunnis and Shiites exacerbated the domestic political situation. Inequities in the distribution of power, nepotism, and authoritarianism were the main causes of the weakening of support for the Umayyad government. Ultimately, this dynasty collapsed after being overthrown by the Abbasid Dynasty in 750 CE. This study emphasizes that the success of a government is greatly influenced by just leadership, an inclusive government system, and the ability to respond adaptively to socio-political challenges.

Abstract

This study examines the development of Islamic civilization during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) using an approach that rejects the conceptual dichotomy between the Meccan and Medina phases. The title "Meccan Period (622–632 CE)" in this context is not interpreted geographically, but rather as a historical and substantial continuation of Islamic values instilled in Mecca before 622 CE and culminating in the socio-political institutions in Medina after the Hijrah. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach to examine the causal relationship between the spiritual foundations instilled in Mecca and the development of Islamic civilization institutions in Medina. The results of the study indicate that the Meccan period was a phase in the formation of the spiritual and moral character of Muslims through the strengthening of the values of monotheism, patience, justice, and noble character amidst social and political pressures. These values formed a solid ideological basis for the formation of a civilized Islamic society. After the Hijrah to Medina, these values were not only maintained but also systematically institutionalized. This is reflected in several important aspects, such as the drafting of the Medina Charter as the basis of the constitution that guarantees plurality and social justice, the establishment of the Prophet's Mosque as a center of religious and governmental activities, the regulation of the economic system through the prohibition of usury and the obligation of zakat as a form of equitable distribution of wealth, and the development of an educational system that emphasizes the integration of knowledge and manners. Thus, it is concluded that the consolidated Islamic civilization until 632 AD was the result of a development process based on spiritual and moral values that had been intensively instilled since the early phase in Mecca. This study emphasizes the importance of value continuity in the process of social transformation, as well as the relevance of a spiritual approach in the development of an inclusive, just, and sustainable civilization.

Abstract

The moral crisis and low religious understanding among the younger generation pose a major challenge in shaping national character based on Islamic values. This phenomenon is increasingly complex amidst the rapid flow of globalization and technological advances that have led to individualistic, materialistic lifestyles far from the principles of Islamic law. In this context, religious education plays a central role as a moral and spiritual bulwark. This study aims to determine the role of Madrasah Diniyah (Islamic religious schools) in improving the mastery of Islamic religious knowledge and shaping the Islamic personality (syakhsiyah Islamiyyah) of students. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation at one of the Madrasah diniyah. The focus of the study is directed at the learning process covering the Qur'an, aqidah, fiqh, and morals, and how this process contributes to the formation of Islamic character in students. The results show that Madrasah Diniyah plays a strategic and significant role in shaping a generation that not only understands religious knowledge but is also able to implement Islamic values in everyday life. This success is supported by several factors, including the quality of competent and exemplary teachers, a structured and contextual curriculum, and good interpersonal relationships between teachers and students. Furthermore, support from parents and the surrounding community is also crucial in strengthening the internalization of Islamic values. Thus, Islamic schools (madrasah diniyah) can function as a vital partner in the Islamic education system, developing a generation with character, noble morals, and a commitment to Islamic teachings from an early age. These findings reinforce the urgency of strengthening religious educational institutions amidst the challenges of the times.

Abstract

Education is a strategic effort to overcome ignorance and poverty, which remain serious problems in Indonesia. Through education, individuals can acquire knowledge, skills, and a broad understanding of the world, thereby improving their quality of life and contributing to the nation's progress. Quality education will create superior, independent, and competitive human resources in the era of globalization. In this article, the author attempts to examine issues related to the implementation of education in schools through a qualitative approach. The research was conducted using several methods, namely observation, interviews, and field notes. Observations were conducted directly in the school environment to thoroughly understand the context being studied, including interactions between school members and the implementation of the learning process. Furthermore, interviews were used to gather information from informants, such as teachers, students, and school staff, to gain a deeper insight into the realities of education on the ground. Meanwhile, field notes were used as a tool for documentation and reflection on the results of the observations and interviews, which later became the basis for knowledge discovery and theory strengthening. The simultaneous use of these three methods enabled the author to obtain rich and in-depth data. This research shows that in the implementation of education still face several obstacles, such as limited facilities, lack of training for educators, and suboptimal parental involvement. Therefore, the implementation of education must be carried out through careful planning, appropriate strategies, and collaboration between various parties in order to achieve educational goals effectively and sustainably.

Abstract

This study aims to examine in depth the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in shaping the character and ethics of students at Madrasah Aliyah Al-Hikmah, Ciruas, Serang, Banten. Amidst the challenges of globalization and modernization that bring changes in values and behavior, PAI plays a strategic role in instilling moral, spiritual, and social values in students. Religious education not only teaches religious knowledge but also shapes attitudes, behaviors, and mindsets in accordance with Islamic teachings, enabling students to cope with diverse environmental influences. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. Research informants consisted of PAI teachers, students, the principal, and homeroom teachers, thus obtaining a comprehensive picture of the implementation of PAI at the madrasah. The results show that PAI makes a significant contribution to the formation of student character, particularly in aspects of religiosity, discipline, responsibility, honesty, tolerance, and courtesy. Learning strategies used include habituating worship, teacher role models, enforcing school rules, and integrating Islamic values into all subjects. Additionally, extracurricular activities such as religious study groups, Islamic holiday commemorations, and Quran memorization programs are also effective tools for strengthening students' character. However, this study also identified several challenges, including low parental involvement in children's character development, negative environmental influences, and limited variety of learning methods. Therefore, synergy between madrasahs, families, and the community is needed to create an educational ecosystem that supports comprehensive and sustainable character development. Through this collaboration, Islamic Religious Education (PAI) is expected to provide a strong foundation for creating a generation with noble character and competitiveness in the modern era.

Abstract

This research discusses the practice of religious moderation at SMPN 2 Ampek Nagari, a secondary school with Muslim students as the majority and non-Muslim students as the minority. The aim of the research is to describe social interactions between Muslim and non-Muslim students, analyze the role of teachers in instilling the value of religious moderation, and identify challenges that arise in the process. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods with data collection techniques in the form of observation, in-depth interviews and documentation. The research results show that social interactions between Muslim and non-Muslim students are harmonious, characterized by cooperation in academic and non-academic activities without discrimination. Teachers play an important role as facilitators, role models and mediators in instilling tolerant attitudes through religious learning, citizenship education and other school activities. However, challenges were also found in the form of negative stereotypes brought from the family environment, as well as feelings of awkwardness in dealing with differences in religious practices. These findings confirm that schools function as laboratories for religious moderation, but their success requires support from parents and the community. Thus, the experience of SMPN 2 Ampek Nagari can become a model for implementing inclusive religious moderation for other secondary schools in Indonesia.
