Abstract

Amidst digital-era value disruptions, madrasas are required to provide leadership capable of deeply internalizing religious values beyond mere formality. This study aims to analyze the transformational leadership strategies of madrasa principals in strengthening students' multidimensional religiosity (ritualistic, experiential, and intellectual dimensions). This study employed a qualitative approach with a multi-site case study design at MA NU Lekok and MA Fathul Latif Rejoso. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using cross-site thematic analysis. The findings reveal that principals implement idealized influence as physical role modeling in worship; inspirational motivation through spiritual advice that touches the soul; intellectual stimulation through Quranic literacy innovations (MQ and BTQ programs); and individualized consideration in personal student guidance. The "Leading by Example" strategy integrates transformational theory with Islamic spiritual values, creating a madrasa ecosystem that supports both rational and emotional faith growth. This research provides a managerial blueprint for educational leaders in designing holistic and adaptive religious character development strategies.

Abstract

The rapid evolution of the digital era has significantly altered the characteristics of learners, necessitating a paradigm shift in Islamic Religious Education (PAI). Traditional instructional methods often fail to bridge the gap between religious doctrine and the interactive nature of 21st-century digital life. This study aims to formulate a strategic framework for IT-based instructional design in PAI that integrates modern pedagogical theories with Islamic values. Employing a library research approach, this study analyzes various scientific literatures, including reference books and reputable journals, using an inductive thematic analysis. The findings reveal that an effective PAI instructional design must be student-centered, utilizing the TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) framework and blended learning models such as the flipped classroom. Furthermore, the integration of digital platforms (LMS, interactive media) must follow systematic models like ADDIE to ensure that technology serves as a catalyst for both cognitive understanding and the internalization of akhlaqul karimah (noble character). Digital transformation in PAI is not merely about adopting tools but about re-envisioning the pedagogical bond between teacher and student. This framework provides a blueprint for educators to create a learning environment that is academically rigorous, technologically adaptive, and spiritually profound.

Abstract

Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Zakariya al-Razi, known in the West as Rhazes, represents a unique synthesis of a rigorous scientist and a free-thinking philosopher in the classical Islamic tradition. Despite his monumental contributions to medicine and chemistry, his philosophical stance—characterized by pure rationalism and the "Five Eternals" theory—has often led to controversial labels, including charges of being a mulhid (atheist). This study aims to provide a comprehensive reconstruction of al-Razi’s epistemological framework, exploring the interplay between his empirical methodology and his philosophical style. This research employs a qualitative library research method with a descriptive-analytical approach. Data were gathered from primary and secondary academic sources, analyzed through inductive reasoning to identify core patterns in al-Razi’s thought. The findings reveal that al-Razi’s epistemology is grounded in three primary sources: logic, the tradition of predecessors, and instinct. His methodology, particularly evidenced in his magnum opus al-Hawi, demonstrates an early form of positivism that prioritizes clinical observation and experimental verification over blind adherence to authority. Furthermore, his intellectual style is a hybrid of Epicureanism, Aristotelianism, and Naturalism, emphasizing a balance between theocentric and anthropocentric paradigms. Al-Razi’s rationalism does not signify a denial of God but rather an exaltation of the intellect as a divine gift. This study concludes that al-Razi should be viewed as a "free thinker" whose empirical rigor and systematic logic provided a foundational blueprint for both Islamic and Western medical and philosophical advancements.

Abstract

The long-standing dichotomy between religious and scientific knowledge has resulted in a fragmented educational paradigm within the Muslim world, often leading to intellectual stagnation and a detachment from modern scientific progress. This scientific dualism separates "revealed knowledge" from "scientific knowledge," creating an existential crisis for the modern Muslim identity. This study aims to formulate a strategic framework for integrating Islam and science within the context of Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies, seeking to bridge the gap between revelation and reason. Employing a qualitative library research approach, this study analyzes primary and secondary literature across classical Islamic texts and modern scientific discourse. An interdisciplinary perspective is utilized to critically examine the integration of Islamic values with social and natural sciences. The findings reveal that the integration of Islam and science can be operationalized through three multidimensional epistemological frameworks: Bayani (text-based integration), Burhani (contextual and empirical integration), and Irfani (spiritual and utilitarian integration). This approach emphasizes the simultaneous study of Ayat Qawliyah (revelation) and Ayat Kauniyah (the universe) as two manifestations of the same Ultimate Reality. Furthermore, the study identifies that true integration requires the development of scientific ethics (akhlaq) to prevent the secular-materialistic misuse of technology. Breaking the scientific dichotomy is not merely a philosophical necessity but a strategic requirement for building a sustainable Islamic civilization. This framework provides an epistemological blueprint for a holistic, non-dichotomous educational system that reconciles spiritual depth with scientific rigor.

Abstract

Traditional Islamic scholarship often faces a critical challenge in maintaining relevance amidst the rapid complexities of modern society, frequently being confined to normative-textual interpretations that struggle to address empirical social issues. This stagnation creates an intellectual gap between religious doctrine and contemporary reality. This study aims to analyze the strategic significance of interdisciplinary research in shifting Islamic studies from a parochial-normative paradigm to a dynamic-contextual framework, capable of providing innovative solutions to global challenges. Using a qualitative library research method with a conceptual analysis approach, this study synthesizes diverse literature across sociology, anthropology, economics, and history. The analysis employs a deductive-inductive technique to evaluate the intersection of Islamic principles with modern scientific methodologies. The findings indicate that an interdisciplinary approach effectively bridges the gap between religious normativity (normativitas) and social historicity (historisitas). Strategically, this approach operationalizes Islamic values to address systemic issues such as poverty through the integration of Islamic distributive justice with modern economic theories. Furthermore, it fosters an "ecological khalifah" paradigm to combat environmental crises and provides a critical filter against Orientalist biases by emphasizing the scientific accuracy of revelation. The research highlights that interdisciplinary studies encourage a renewal (tajdid) of Islamic thought by challenging traditional assumptions and promoting a holistic, non-dichotomous understanding of knowledge. Shifting to an interdisciplinary paradigm is a fundamental necessity for contemporary Islamic scholarship. It transforms religion from a static doctrine into a strategic catalyst for social justice, environmental sustainability, and intellectual enlightenment in the modern era.

Abstract

Modernization, globalization, and technological advancements have made human life easier. However, these changes have also given rise to issues such as a moral crisis, increasing materialism, a loss of spiritual identity, and a decline in social connections. This study employs a qualitative approach and utilizes a library research method. To achieve its objective, the study analyzes literature regarding Tasawwuf (Sufism) and its application in modern life. The findings indicate that Tasawwuf values such as zuhud (asceticism/detachment from the worldly), ikhlas (sincerity), sabar (patience), syukur (gratitude), tawakal (reliance on God), muraqabah (spiritual vigilance), muhasabah (self-reflection), and tazkiyatun nafs (purification of the soul)—are instrumental in shaping character, curbing materialistic tendencies, improving mental health, and strengthening the individual's relationship with Allah SWT and fellow human beings. In the face of the increasingly complex challenges posed by the digital era, globalization, and social change, the implementation of these values ​​can serve as an ethical foundation. Consequently, Tasawwuf is viewed not merely as a spiritual teaching practiced individually, but as a life paradigm capable of balancing an individual's material and spiritual needs, thereby fostering a life that is harmonious, peaceful, and meaningful.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology has created both opportunities and challenges for the moral and ethical development of young people. Issues such as moral degradation, cyberbullying, identity crises, unethical social media behavior, and the growing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) highlight the need to strengthen moral values through Islamic Religious Education (IRE). This study aims to analyze and synthesize the role of Islamic Religious Education in strengthening the morality and ethics of young people in the digital era. The study employed a qualitative approach using the Narrative Literature Review (NLR) method. Literature was collected from Google Scholar, Garuda, and relevant national and international journals published between 2023 and 2026. Of the 45 identified articles, 15 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed through narrative synthesis. The findings indicate that Islamic Religious Education plays a strategic role in fostering moral development through the internalization of Islamic values, teachers' role modeling, the strengthening of religious school culture, Islamic digital literacy, and collaboration among schools, families, and communities. The synthesis further reveals that moral challenges in the digital era cannot be addressed solely through technological competence but require the integration of digital literacy with religious character development. This study proposes a conceptual framework integrating Islamic values, digital literacy, digital ethics, religious culture, teachers' role modeling, and school family community collaboration as a comprehensive model for strengthening the morality and ethics of young people in the digital era.

Abstract

This study investigates the commentarial, glossarial, and marginalia traditions on Alfiyyah Ibn Malik within the Malabar region, emphasizing its role in the curriculum, pedagogy, and intellectual heritage of Arabic grammar education. Recognizing Alfiyyah as a foundational didactic poem widely used for teaching Nahw (Syntax) and Sarf (Morphology), the research addresses the gap in documenting Malabar Ulama’s scholarly contributions, which have been fragmented and underrepresented. Employing qualitative content analysis of primary texts, including commentaries, glosses, and marginalia by Malabar scholars, supplemented by expert interviews, the study explores how these works facilitate the teaching and memorization of Arabic grammar in Pallidars, Islamic colleges, and universities. Findings reveal that the Alfiyya’s versified structure and comprehensive coverage, combined with localized pedagogical adaptations, have sustained its academic authority and pedagogical relevance in Malabar. The extensive scholarly engagement demonstrates a dynamic interaction between global classical knowledge and local intellectual traditions. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of knowledge transmission in Islamic education and highlights Malabar’s unique role in preserving and innovating Arabic linguistic sciences, thereby enriching both regional and global academic landscapes.
