Abstract

The preservation of local culture is a crucial aspect in safeguarding national identity amidst the currents of globalization. One form of Javanese culture that holds high historical and philosophical value is macapat, a traditional form of singing that conveys moral, ethical, and spiritual teachings. This community service project aims to develop the skills of the younger generation and foster their love for Javanese art and culture through macapat singing training, while also establishing a well-structured and sustainable organization for the Ngesti Laras Art Group in Tulungagung. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that the macapat training not only enhanced the musical skills of the participants but also raised their awareness of the importance of preserving cultural heritage. Participants experienced significant improvement in understanding and performing macapat songs, supported by the training module provided. Additionally, the formation of an organizational structure consisting of a chairperson, secretary, treasurer, and work divisions provided clear direction and defined roles in managing the group's activities. The recommendation from this initiative is for similar training programs to be conducted continuously, involving more youth and support from educational institutions or local governments, so that local cultural preservation can be carried out more systematically and sustainably. This training serves as a means of regenerating traditional art practitioners and strengthening the cultural identity of the local community. In conclusion, macapat training is an effective strategy for preserving Javanese culture, particularly within local art communities.

Abstract

Community engagement serves as a vital bridge between the academic sphere and social reality. The community is the ideal partner in applying, developing, testing, and evaluating theoretical-conceptual ideas. However, community engagement within State Islamic Higher Education Institutions (Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan Islam Negeri, PTKIN) appears to be limited to a service-oriented paradigm, predominantly focused on religious services. This study examines these patterns through a qualitative-descriptive approach involving documentary analysis from Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Sunan Kalijaga, UIN Alauddin Makassar, UIN Batusangkar, and the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs. Employing textual interpretation, comparative analysis, and critical reflection, the research identifies an outdated paradigm in PTKIN's community engagement, one that fails to adapt to shifting societal realities. The evolving nature of society necessitates a corresponding shift in the conceptual and practical framework of community engagement. A paradigmatic transformation is essential if community engagement at PTKIN is to remain relevant and contributive both to the university and the broader society.

Abstract

This community engagement initiative aims to enhance the Qur’anic literacy of santri (Islamic boarding school students) through an integrated training program encompassing tahsin (proper recitation), taḥfīẓ (memorization), and translation of the Qur’an. The program was implemented by the Department of Qur’anic and Tafsir Studies, Faculty of Ushuluddin, Adab, and Da’wah, at the Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Mahmud Yunus Batusangkar, in collaboration with the Pondok Pesantren Tarbiyah Islamiyah (PPTI) Nurul Yaqin Batipuah Ateh in June 2024. The method employed was a participatory approach based on collaboration between the implementation team and all components of the pesantren, involving initial observation, training sessions, halaqah (study circles), mentoring, and periodic evaluations. The results indicate a significant improvement in the students' ability to recite the Qur’an properly (tahsin), their memorization achievements through the ziyādah and murāja‘ah methods (taḥfīẓ), as well as their comprehension of verse meanings using the Tafsir Jalalain approach (translation). Moreover, the program positively influenced the students’ attitudes and character, particularly in terms of discipline, motivation to learn, and religious commitment. The pesantren demonstrated a strong commitment to sustaining the program by developing internal systems such as an integrated curriculum, training for supporting teachers, and routine evaluations. In conclusion, this initiative not only successfully addressed the partner pesantren’s needs in strengthening Qur’anic literacy, but also presented a holistic and contextual Qur’anic education model that holds the potential for replication in other Islamic boarding schools. This program represents a tangible contribution to the sustainable development of Qur’anic education within the pesantren system.

Abstract

The Pejuang Subuh (Dawn Warriors) Program is a community service initiative aimed at strengthening Qur’anic literacy among children and adolescents through regular post-dawn prayer activities at Baitul Makmur Minangkabau Mosque, West Sumatra. This program was developed in response to the declining interest of the younger generation in the Qur’an and their diminishing engagement in mosque activities. The implementation employed a community-based, participatory-educational approach, comprising preparation, daily activities, and periodic evaluation. Participants included children aged 7–15 years, guided by mosque youth serving as facilitators. Core activities encompassed tilāwah (Qur’anic recitation), taḥsīn (recitation improvement), the transmission of Qur’anic moral values, and reflective discussions. The program yielded significant improvements in Qur’anic reading skills, worship discipline, and the development of participants' Islamic character. Moreover, it fostered an inclusive and vibrant mosque atmosphere and enhanced intergenerational participation within the local community. Challenges such as inconsistent attendance, limited facilitators, and varied participant abilities were addressed through adaptive and collaborative strategies. This program has proven to be a best practice model that can be replicated in other mosques with appropriate contextual adjustments. In conclusion, Pejuang Subuh is an effective model for nurturing Qur’anic literacy and religious character through simple yet sustainable community-based activities.

Abstract

Management and financial transparency are crucial aspects in realizing accountable governance within educational institutions and fostering public trust. This community service program aims to enhance financial management capacity at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Muhammadiyah (MIM) 3 Ngunut Ponorogo, making it more transparent, structured, and aligned with the principles of good governance. The program was implemented through four interconnected stages: program socialization, a workshop on the Model of a School Trusted by the Community, a workshop on management and financial transparency, and intensive mentoring for transparency implementation. The qualitative data analyzed consisted of observation notes, documentation of financial records, questionnaire responses on public trust indicators, outputs from focus group discussions and workshops, and SWOT analysis matrices. SWOT analysis was utilized as an analytical tool to examine internal and external conditions related to financial transparency implementation and to formulate strategic follow-up actions. The program employed a qualitative approach using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) design, emphasizing collaborative problem identification, joint action, and reflective evaluation involving madrasah stakeholders. The results indicate improved administrators’ understanding of financial recording and reporting principles, increased awareness of the importance of public transparency, and a strong institutional commitment to developing a digital-based financial reporting system. Enhanced communication and stakeholder participation also contributed to strengthening public trust between the madrasah, parents, and the wider community. This program contributes to the development of a professional, participatory, and integrity-based governance model for Islamic elementary education institutions and supports the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4 (Quality Education) and Goal 16 (Transparent and Accountable Institutions).

Abstract

Social harmony is a crucial foundation for sustainable community life, particularly in religiously oriented communities where latent social fragmentation may emerge despite shared beliefs. This article examines a community empowerment initiative aimed at strengthening social harmony through religious and cultural approaches in Jorong Dusun Tuo, Nagari Limo Kaum. The program employed a participatory community empowerment approach that positioned community members as active agents in addressing social distance between two congregations with limited interaction. Religious engagement and local cultural activities were utilized as primary instruments for fostering inclusive interaction, trust-building, and collective participation. Data were collected through participatory observation, informal interviews, and reflective discussions, and analyzed descriptively to capture changes in social relations and community dynamics. The findings indicate that the integration of religious and cultural approaches effectively reduced social barriers, enhanced intergroup communication, and strengthened social cohesion without undermining existing identities. Religious values provided ethical motivation for unity, while cultural practices created experiential spaces for cooperation. This study concludes that empowerment-oriented social interventions grounded in local religious and cultural contexts offer a practical and adaptable model for strengthening social harmony in communities experiencing latent fragmentation.

Abstract

Inter-Qur’anic Education Center (Taman Pendidikan Al-Qur’an/TPA) competition activities represent a form of student community service in the fields of education and religion. Low levels of Islamic religious literacy and limited communication skills among children in TPA remain prevalent, particularly with regard to basic understanding of Islamic teachings, social relationships, and interpersonal interaction. These conditions are closely related to the continued use of conventional and less varied learning methods. This community service program was implemented through inter-TPA competition activities aimed at strengthening children’s Islamic religious literacy, fostering social interaction, and enhancing communication between students (santri) and instructors (ustadz). The program employed a participatory and collaborative approach, implemented through several stages, including planning, coordination with TPA administrators, execution of competition activities, and evaluation of outcomes. Data were collected through observation, discussion, and documentation, while data analysis was conducted using a qualitative descriptive method. The results indicate that the program successfully increased children’s motivation to learn Islamic teachings, strengthened solidarity among TPAs, and fostered Islamic values among participants. Therefore, inter-TPA competition activities can be considered an effective method for strengthening Islamic religious literacy and improving children’s communication skills.

These improvements were evidenced through observations of learning activities, mentoring records, and comparisons between participants’ initial and final literacy skills. In addition, the program successfully fostered children’s interest in reading and learning motivation through the provision of reading materials, guided learning sessions, educational games, and interactive discussions. Overall, the community-based Reading House program proved to be an effective educational strategy for improving basic literacy skills and fostering a more literate learning environment in Nagari Gurun, Jorong Luak Gadang.
