Abstract

Islamic educational institutions face dual pressures in the contemporary Society 5.0 era: preserving traditional religious values while rapidly responding to massive digital disruption. This study aims to formulate a conceptual model of participatory strategic planning to accelerate institutional competitiveness and navigate digital transformation effectively. Employing a qualitative approach with a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) design, this research systematically analyzes recent academic literature (2020–2026) regarding strategic management, participatory leadership, and educational technology in Islamic contexts. The findings reveal that centralized governance, often characterized by mono-leadership, significantly hinders institutional agility and stakeholder engagement. To overcome this managerial gridlock, the study proposes the Participatory Strategic Planning Model, which integrates three core pillars: the fundamental Islamic values of Shura and Amanah, an agile collective-delegative leadership structure, and the implementation of Islamic Digital Quality Management (IDQM). This model shifts strategic formulation into a data-driven, collaborative process utilizing SWOT analysis and PDCA cycles, effectively mitigating internal resistance toward digitalization. The study concludes that distributed authority and participatory governance are imperative for sustaining global competitiveness without compromising Islamic identity. Future empirical research across diverse educational typologies is strongly recommended to validate this conceptual framework.

Abstract

ABSTRACT The rapid digital transformation of the modern education sector heavily demands that Islamic educational institutions, specifically madrasahs, adapt their public communication strategies to maintain global competitiveness. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the strategic role of madrasah principals in enhancing institutional reputation through social media, utilizing the combined perspectives of transformational leadership and digital reputation management. Employing a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, primary data were meticulously collected through in-depth interviews with principals and public relations teams, netnographic digital observation of official social media platforms, and documentation analysis. The findings reveal that madrasah principals effectively act as digital strategic leaders who formulate ethical, Islamic-based digital branding policies. Furthermore, these policies are executed through highly consistent educational content management, achievement-based storytelling, and professional visual branding. Consequently, this strategic execution fosters an authentic two-way dialogic communication culture, significantly increasing public engagement, stakeholder trust, and brand equity. The study successfully synthesizes these interrelated elements into a novel conceptual model of Digital Reputation Management. This model demonstrates a virtuous circle where active digital engagement directly elevates institutional competitiveness. Ultimately, this research implies that highly effective madrasah leadership requires integrating technological vision with spiritual values to sustainably navigate the digital era.

Abstract

This study examines the Qur’anic concept of human beings through ontological, teleological, and educational perspectives. Using qualitative library research and a thematic interpretation approach, the study analyzes selected Qur’anic verses related to insān, bashar, al-nās, human creation, dignity, fiṭrah, servitude, vicegerency, and moral responsibility. The analysis is supported by classical and contemporary Qur’anic exegesis and recent studies in Islamic philosophy and education. The findings show that the Qur’an presents human beings as multidimensional creatures whose bodily, intellectual, psychological, moral, social, and spiritual dimensions form an integrated unity. Human existence is directed toward two complementary purposes: serving Allah as ‘abd and fulfilling responsibility on earth as khalīfah. These functions are connected through amānah, which requires the responsible use of knowledge, freedom, authority, and natural resources. The study further demonstrates that this Qur’anic conception provides a philosophical foundation for holistic Islamic education. Islamic education should therefore develop learners’ intellectual competence, spiritual awareness, moral discipline, social responsibility, physical well-being, and ecological consciousness. The study contributes an integrative framework linking Qur’anic anthropology with the aims, curriculum, and practices of Islamic education.

Abstract

Islamic Religious Education (IRE) faces a persistent challenge in bridging the gap between normative religious knowledge and its internalization into students’ lived moral and spiritual practices. Although taqwa is frequently emphasized as a central objective of Islamic education, it is often treated as a doctrinal concept rather than as an internalized ethical orientation. This study aims to reconstruct the conceptual and pedagogical foundations of taqwa through a textual–conceptual analysis of An-Naṣā’iḥ ad-Dīniyyah by Abdullah bin Alawi al-Haddad and to examine its relevance for Islamic Religious Education. Employing a qualitative library research design with thematic content analysis, the study analyzes key passages related to moral discipline, spiritual awareness, and ethical conduct. The findings indicate that taqwa functions as the core foundation of Islamic moral education, integrating belief, intention, and behavior within a framework of inner divine consciousness. The text portrays taqwa as an internalized value cultivated through moral exhortation, reflective remembrance, and gradual self-discipline rather than external compliance. These mechanisms highlight the affective and spiritual dimensions of Islamic pedagogy and align with the broader objectives of holistic character formation. The study contributes theoretically by deepening the conceptual understanding of taqwa, pedagogically by clarifying its internalization process, and academically by bridging classical Islamic ethical thought with contemporary educational discourse.

Abstract

Islamic Religious Education plays an important role in preparing prospective healthcare professionals who are not only technically competent but also ethically responsible and humanistically oriented. This study analyses Islamic Religious Education as a foundation for developing ethical and humanistic character among prospective healthcare professionals. It employed qualitative library research with a structured narrative review approach. Forty-five scholarly publications were examined through qualitative content analysis, including repeated reading, coding, thematic categorisation, and conceptual synthesis. The findings indicate that Islamic Religious Education strengthens ethical character through the internalisation of honesty, trustworthiness, justice, responsibility, excellence, and moral accountability. It also supports humanistic character by cultivating empathy, compassion, respectful communication, patient-centred care, and recognition of human dignity. The integration of Islamic ethics, maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, and health sciences provides a moral framework for addressing professional and bioethical challenges. However, religious knowledge does not automatically produce ethical behaviour; effective character formation requires contextual learning, clinical cases, reflection, mentoring, role modelling, habituation, interdisciplinary curriculum integration, and competency-based assessment. This study concludes that Islamic Religious Education should be positioned as an integral component of health professions education rather than merely a compulsory general course. Its integration can support the formation of healthcare professionals who combine scientific competence, ethical integrity, spiritual awareness, and compassionate service.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the philosophical thoughts of Imam Al-Ghazali and relate them in the modern era to build a path to human spiritual perfection. This research is a qualitative type with a library research approach, accompanied by primary sources in the form of books and secondary sources of several journal articles. Research data were collected through various books and journals as sources of information and then analyzed using content analysis techniques. The result of this research is to achieve spiritual perfection through the integration of ethics, Sufism, philosophy, and epistemology. Al-Ghazali emphasized the importance of ethics as a basis, where humans are expected to imitate divine traits, such as compassion and wisdom, to approach self-perfection. Through naturalizing the view that God is the active creator who governs the universe, Al-Ghazali invites humans to adopt a position of humility and resignation, realizing that everything comes from God’s will. Overall, Al-Ghazali combines the elements of reason, ethics, and intuition in a harmonious path towards God, providing humans with a way to achieve deep spiritual balance as well as awareness of divine reality in everyday life.

Abstract

Pesantren face pressure in maintaining a balance between the deepening of kitab turats (classical texts) and the demands of 21st-century competencies amidst educational transformation. This imbalance has the potential to reduce the relevance of graduates if not addressed through adaptive and measurable learning policies. This study aims to analyze the leadership policies in improving the quality of learning at Pondok Pesantren Darullughah Wadda’wah Putri. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that leadership policies are implemented integratively through participatory planning, professionalism-based execution by the asatidzah (teachers), and continuous evaluation. These policies are able to integrate salaf (traditional) values with a hadhari (civilizational) approach as well as the strengthening of 21st-century skills, thereby creating an adaptive learning ecosystem and producing competent graduates with character.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the concept of public relations in Islamic education from a Qur’anic perspective by employing Ibn ‘Araby’s symbolic–metaphorical approach. The research is motivated by the tendency to understand public relations in Islamic educational institutions primarily as a technical–managerial function, which often overlooks its normative, ethical, and spiritual dimensions. This study adopts a qualitative library research method, utilizing primary sources such as the Qur’an, classical and contemporary tafsir works, and Ibn ‘Araby’s major writings, including Fuṣūṣ al-Ḥikam and al-Futūḥāt al-Makkiyyah. Data analysis is conducted through thematic analysis and a hermeneutic–philosophical approach to reconstruct a Qur’an-based model of public relations in Islamic education. The findings indicate that public relations in Islamic education constitutes an integral part of the Islamic value system, functioning to build social, moral, and spiritual relationships between educational institutions and society. Qur’anic communication principles—such as qaulan sadīdan, qaulan balīghan, qaulan ma‘rūfa, qaulan karīma, qaulan layyina, and qaulan maysūra—serve as normative foundations for ethical and effective communication. The integration of Ibn ‘Araby’s symbolic metaphor approach enriches Islamic educational public relations with a transformative dimension, positioning communication as a meaningful, ethical, and spiritually grounded process that fosters public trust and social harmony.

Abstract

Educational institutions face complex challenges that demand effective leadership, yet school planning often remains a mere administrative compliance rather than a strategic improvement tool. This study aims to analyze the strategic role of principal leadership in the educational institution development planning process. Utilizing a systematic literature review with a thematic analysis approach, this research examined relevant peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2026 sourced from major academic databases. The findings reveal four pivotal themes regarding effective planning leadership. First, successful principals shift towards data-driven planning and root-cause analysis integrated with local institutional values. Second, they implement distributed leadership to foster collaborative planning and cultivate teacher leadership. Third, effective development plans prioritize teacher professional development in their strategic programs and resource allocation, ensuring continuous knowledge transfer. Fourth, principals must exercise managerial flexibility through short-cycle planning to overcome bureaucratic constraints and administrative traps. Ultimately, the study concludes that principals must transcend their traditional administrative roles to act as strategic architects. By integrating data, distributing leadership, prioritizing teacher capacity, and maintaining agility, principals can transform rigid planning documents into dynamic catalysts for sustainable school improvement and educational excellence.
