The Concept of Islamic Education According to Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas and Ismail Raji Al-Faruqi: A Comparative Analysis of the Epistemology and Purpose of Islamic Education
Contemporary Islamic education faces serious epistemological challenges due to the dominance of Western secular paradigms that separate knowledge from values and perpetuate the dichotomy between religious and general sciences. This condition weakens the spiritual and ethical orientation of Islamic education, which is increasingly trapped in materialistic and utilitarian goals. In response, the ideas of Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas and Ismail Raji al-Faruqi on the Islamization of science offer an alternative paradigm. This study aims to analyze and compare their concepts of Islamic education, particularly in terms of epistemology, educational objectives, and relevance to contemporary Islamic education in Indonesia. Using a qualitative library research method with comparative discourse analysis of key works such as Islam and Secularism and Islamization of Knowledge, this study finds that al-Attas emphasizes conceptual purification through adab and purification of meaning (tashfiyah al-ma‘na) as the epistemological foundation of education. In contrast, al-Faruqi focuses on structural reconstruction of modern science by integrating revelation and scientific rationality within a monotheistic framework. Despite methodological differences, their approaches are complementary. Their synthesis produces an integrative paradigm of Islamic education oriented toward cultivating civilized individuals and promoting social transformation based on justice and benefit. These findings underscore the urgency of reformulating curriculum, pedagogy, and institutional frameworks to ensure a holistic, monotheistic, and contextually relevant Islamic education.

Fazlur Rahman’s Thought on Islamic Education: Its Relevance to the Concept of Meaningful Learning
This research aims to examine Fazlur Rahman’s thought on Islamic education and to analyze its relevance to the concept of meaningful learning. This study employs a qualitative method with a library research approach. Primary data are derived from Rahman’s major works, such as Islam and Modernity and Major Themes of the Qur’an, while secondary data are drawn from books and journal articles discussing Islamic education and meaningful learning. The data are analyzed using content analysis with a thematic approach. The findings indicate that Rahman emphasizes the integration of revelation and reason, a contextual understanding of Islamic teachings, and the development of moral and intellectual capacities as the primary objectives of Islamic education. These principles strongly correspond to the characteristics of meaningful learning, which stress deep understanding, critical reflection, and the application of knowledge in real-life contexts. This study contributes theoretically by strengthening the philosophical foundation of meaningful learning within Islamic education and contributes practically by proposing a more reflective, contextual, and character oriented paradigm for Islamic Religious Education instruction.
Analysis of the Influence of the Value Based Learning and Self Reflection Model of Santri on the Ethical Awareness of Elementary School Students
Elementary school students grow within rapidly changing social and digital environments where ethical behavior is not formed automatically but requires intentional educational intervention. Ethical awareness defined as the ability to distinguish right from wrong, consider the consequences of actions, and act according to moral values has therefore become a critical objective of basic education. This study aims to analyze the influence of Value-Based Learning and Santri Self Reflection on the ethical awareness of elementary school students. A quantitative explanatory cross sectional survey design was employed involving 91 students from Grades IV-VI at Daarul Mutqin Elementary School, Bogor, Indonesia. Data were collected using validated and reliable Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS. The results indicate that Value-Based Learning has a positive and significant effect on ethical awareness. More importantly, Santri Self Reflection shows a stronger and more dominant influence. Simultaneously, both variables significantly predict ethical awareness with a contribution of 45.5% (R²=0.455), indicating a substantial explanatory power in educational and behavioral research. These findings demonstrate that ethical awareness is most effectively developed through the integration of consistent value habituation and structured self-reflective practices adapted from santri educational traditions. This study contributes to the literature by extending reflective moral learning into elementary education and offers a culturally grounded pedagogical model for strengthening character education in formal schools.
Practical Implementive Muhammadiyah Ideology: PHIWM, HPT, and 12 Steps
This study critically examines the paradigm shift in educational research methodology in the digital era by elucidating the epistemological and methodological integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across the stages of data collection and analysis. Employing a qualitative conceptual approach with a systematic library research design, this study synthesizes contemporary national and international scholarly literature through descriptive reflective analysis. Data were analyzed using an integrated framework combining content analysis and AI assisted thematic analysis to identify dominant methodological trends, conceptual frameworks, and emerging ethical concerns associated with AI-driven educational research. The findings reveal a fundamental transformation from linear, researcher centered methodologies toward a hybrid, data-driven paradigm characterized by intelligent analytics and algorithmic support. AI integration substantially enhances analytical efficiency, precision, and scalability, while simultaneously redefining the researcher’s role as an epistemic authority responsible for contextual interpretation, methodological reflexivity, and validation of algorithmic outputs. Nonetheless, the study highlights persistent challenges related to algorithmic bias, transparency, and ethical accountability, underscoring the necessity of human in the loop mechanisms to safeguard scientific rigor and contextual validity. This research contributes to the advancement of educational research methodology by proposing an AI-augmented epistemological framework that reconciles computational intelligence with human reflexivity, thereby reinforcing the integrity, adaptability, and scholarly relevance of educational research in the digital age.
Redesain Strategi Pembelajaran PAI Melalui Integrasi AI Dan Pendekatan Humanistik
The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) provides new opportunities for redesigning Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning strategies to become more effective and relevant to the needs of the digital era. This study aims to analyze and formulate a concept for redesigning PAI learning strategies through the integration of AI with a humanistic approach in order to improve the quality of learning processes and outcomes, particularly in strengthening students’ character and spiritual values. This research employs a literature study method by reviewing various scientific journals, books, and documents related to educational technology, PAI learning, humanistic theory, and the application of AI in education. The findings indicate that the use of AI supports personalized learning, provides broader access to learning resources, enhances evaluation effectiveness, and strengthens teachers’ creativity in designing interactive learning experiences. Meanwhile, the humanistic approach ensures that the educational process continues to position students as the central subjects, emphasizing empathy, learning freedom, internalization of Islamic values, and character development. The integration of both elements results in a PAI learning model that is adaptive, humanistic, and contextual to the challenges of the 21st century. Therefore, redesigning PAI learning strategies based on AI and a humanistic approach becomes a strategic alternative in realizing innovative, meaningful, and sustainable Islamic education.
Implementasi Pembiasaan Ibadah dan Keteladanan Guru dalam Meningkatkan Kecerdasan Emosional Anak Usia Dasar
This study aims to describe the implementation of religious habituation practices and teacher role modeling, as well as to analyze the effects of both variables on the emotional intelligence of elementary school children. A quantitative approach with a correlational research design was employed. The study was conducted at SDN Bayeman I, involving a population of 93 students from grades IV, V, and VI, from which a sample of 76 students was selected using stratified random sampling techniques. The research instruments consisted of validated and reliable questionnaires measuring religious habituation, teacher role modeling, and emotional intelligence. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS software. The findings indicate that the data met the classical assumption criteria, including normal distribution (Sig. = 0.200), absence of multicollinearity (Tolerance = 0.655; VIF = 1.527), and no evidence of heteroscedasticity. Simultaneous testing revealed that religious habituation and teacher role modeling jointly exerted a significant effect on students’ emotional intelligence (F = 45.558; Sig. = 0.000). Partially, religious habituation demonstrated a positive and statistically significant influence on emotional intelligence (β = 0.870; Sig. = 0.000), whereas teacher role modeling exhibited a positive but statistically non-significant effect (β = 0.220; Sig. = 0.053). The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.509) indicates that 50.9% of the variance in emotional intelligence is explained by the two independent variables.
Analisis Nilai-Nilai Islam Berkemajuan dalam Buku Ajar Kemuhammadiyahan Tingkat SMP/MTs
In this era of disruption and globalisation, Islamic education is required not only to teach normative teachings, but also to instil progressive values that are relevant to the times. Muhammadiyah, as a modernist Islamic movement, offers the concept of ‘Islam Berkemajuan’ (Progressive Islam), which encompasses the values of rationality, renewal, social justice, and openness to science. The Kemuhammadiyahan textbook at the junior high school/MTs level is a strategic instrument in transmitting these values to the younger generation. This study aims to analyse the representation of Progressive Islam values in Muhammadiyah textbooks used in Muhammadiyah educational institutions. Using a qualitative approach and a contextual hermeneutic content analysis method, this study examines how values such as tajdid, social tauhid, enlightenment, and tolerance are represented in narratives and learning materials. The results show that the textbooks generally contain Progressive Islam values, especially in terms of intellectual renewal, social commitment, and the integration of faith and knowledge. However, some aspects, such as ecological awareness and the digitalisation of Islamic values, still receive little attention. These findings recommend strengthening a more comprehensive and contextual Progressive Islam-based curriculum.

Al-Islam Dan Kemuhammadiyahan Sebagai Kurikulum Ideologis: Analisis Kritis Das Sollen Dan Das Sein Dalam Pendidikan Tinggi Muhammadiyah
This study aims to analyze AIK as an ideological curriculum in Muhammadiyah higher education through the framework of critical analysis of das sollen and das sein. This research uses a qualitative approach with the type of library research, with data sources in the form of official AIK documents, Muhammadiyah higher education curriculum, and relevant scientific literature that is analyzed through content analysis and critical approaches. The results of the study show that at the das solen level, AIK is formulated as an ideological curriculum that integrates theological, ethical, and intellectual dimensions in the mission of da'wah and tajdid of Muhammadiyah. However, at the water level level, the implementation of AIK still tends to be formalized, the dominance of textual and one-way pedagogical approaches, and the weak integration of AIK with the cross-disciplinary academic ecosystem. The gap between normative ideals and implementive realities is influenced by structural factors (pragmatic orientation of higher education, accreditation demands, academic competition) and cultural factors (academic culture that emphasizes technical achievements). This study concludes that strengthening AIK as an ideological curriculum requires systemic transformation that includes the repositioning of AIK as an educational paradigm, strengthening dialogical-reflective pedagogy, and integrating AIK values in institutional policies and campus culture.

Implementasi Ideologi Muhammadiyah dalam Tata Kelola dan Kebijakan Pendidikan Analisis Keputusan Organisasi, Masalah Lima, serta Khittah Muhammadiyah
This research aims to analyze the implementation of Muhammadiyah ideology in education governance and policy through organizational decisions, handling of Five Issues, and the practice of Muhammadiyah Khittah as a guideline for the movement. The ideology of Muhammadiyah not only functions as a system of theological ideas, but also as a normative and operational foundation that directs the implementation of Islamic education to progress. The approach of this research is qualitative descriptive with the method of literature study on official documents of Muhammadiyah, such as the Muhammadiyah Faith and Ideals of Life (MKCH), Muqaddimah of the Muhammadiyah Articles of Association (MADM), Khittah Muhammadiyah, as well as the decisions of the Congress related to the direction of organizational policies and educational development. The results of the study show that the ideology of Muhammadiyah is implemented applicatively in educational governance through organizational policies oriented towards the integration of faith, science, and charity. The Five Religions, Education, Economy, Politics, and Culture Issues function as a strategic framework in the development of Muhammadiyah education, while Khittah Muhammadiyah acts as a moral compass that keeps the implementation of education within the corridor of da'wah amar makruf nahi mungkar and independent of pragmatic interests.

Pengaruh Efisiensi Pengelolaan Pembiayaan Pendidikan terhadap Pelaksanaan Program Pendidikan Islam
This study aims to analyze the effect of the efficiency of educational financing management on the implementation of Islamic education programs at Madrasah Diniyah Pondok Pesantren Nurul Jadid. The study employs a quantitative approach, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to 33 respondents who are directly involved in the management and implementation of Islamic education programs, using a saturated sampling (total sampling) technique. The research instrument was developed using a Likert scale and has passed validity and reliability tests. Data analysis was conducted using simple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS software. The results indicate that the efficiency of educational financing management has a positive effect on the implementation of Islamic education programs, with a regression coefficient of 0.380. However, this effect is not statistically significant at the 95 percent confidence level, as indicated by a significance value of 0.083. This suggests that financing management efficiency functions as a supporting factor in the implementation of Islamic education programs, although it is not the primary determining factor. This study emphasizes the importance of a holistic Islamic education management approach by integrating financial management with other managerial factors.

Internalisasi Nilai Al-Islam dan Kemuhammadiyahan dalam Filsafat Pendidikan Muhammadiyah Telaah Konseptual terhadap Pembentukan Karakter Mahasiswa
This study aims to analyze the concept of internalization of Islamic and Muhammadiyah values in Muhammadiyah's educational philosophy and explain its implications for student character formation. This study uses a qualitative approach with a library research method, which is sourced from scientific literature, reference books, and official Muhammadiyah normative documents relevant to the research theme. The data analysis technique is carried out through content analysis by systematically examining the concepts of values, internalization, and character formation from the perspective of Muhammadiyah's educational philosophy. The results of the study indicate that Islamic and Muhammadiyah values are the philosophical foundation of Muhammadiyah education that includes theological, ethical, and social dimensions. The process of internalization of values is understood as a systemic and sustainable pedagogical mechanism, involving the integration of learning, role models, and value-based academic culture. This internalization has direct implications for the formation of integrative student character, which reflects faith, intellectuality, and social responsibility. Thus, Muhammadiyah education is directed not only at academic achievement, but also at the formation of student character with an Islamic and progressive personality in accordance with the ideals of Muhammadiyah's educational philosophy.
Model Integratif Pendidikan Karakter Berbasis Nilai-Nilai Qur’ani dalam Penguatan Moral dan Spiritualitas Pendidikan Islam
This study aims to analyze the philosophical foundations of Qur’anic-based character education and to develop an integrative character education model as a response to moral degradation and value disorientation in modern society. Employing a qualitative approach with a library research method, the study draws on primary sources consisting of the Qur’an, Hadith, and classical as well as contemporary tafsir, complemented by secondary data from relevant books and peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2016 and 2025. Data were analyzed using content analysis through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, strengthened by source triangulation and comparative analysis. The findings reveal that Qur’anic character education is firmly grounded in the Islamic anthropological view of humans as khalīfah fī al-arḍ, endowed with fitrah that must be developed through tazkiyatun nafs and ta’dīb to achieve the ideal of insān kāmil. Core Qur’anic values tauhid, akhlaq, ‘amal ṣāliḥ, ‘adl, and raḥmah form an integral moral system that harmonizes spiritual and social dimensions. This study proposes the Integrative Qur’anic Character Education Model (MPKQI), comprising divine internalization, social transmission, and personal transformation, which extends conventional character education theories by incorporating a transcendental, revelation-based dimension. The study concludes that Qur’anic-based character education offers both theoretical and practical contributions to global moral and spiritual education in addressing contemporary ethical challenges.

Transformasi Pendidikan Islam di Era AI: Reorientasi Tujuan Belajar dari Kecerdasan Digital menuju Kecerdasan Spiritual
This study seeks to develop a holistic framework for transforming Islamic Religious Education (PAI) by reorienting learning objectives, positioning Spiritual Intelligence (SI) as the ultimate goal (ghayah) and Digital Intelligence (DI) as an instrumental means (wasilah). Using a qualitative library research approach, the study systematically reviews primary and secondary sources from 2020–2025 and analyzes them through descriptive-analytical and content analysis methods. The findings show that DI enhances administrative efficiency, learning personalization, and access to Islamic knowledge, yet it has epistemological limitations, as it is non-empathetic, lacks a spiritual dimension, and cannot replace scholars in ijtihad or the transmission of tacit knowledge. Therefore, SI, grounded in Imam Al-Ghazali’s concept of tarbiyah al-qalb, serves as the axiological foundation for forming the insan kamil and akhlak karimah, while ethically regulating AI use through the framework of Maqasid al-Shari’ah, particularly Hifz al-Din and Hifz al-Aql. Pedagogically, this necessitates an integrative, contextual, and future-oriented PAI curriculum supported by spiritually based project-based learning, ethical digital media, Islamic digital literacy, and the strengthened role of educators as murabbi and value transformers.

Strategi Memadukan Pembelajaran Bahasa Arab dan Pendidikan Islam Moderat di Pesantren Al- Ma’arif
This study aims to examine and formulate integrative strategies for combining Arabic language instruction with moderate Islamic education in Islamic boarding schools as a means of cultivating students who are both linguistically proficient and characterized by wasathiyah (moderation). Employing a descriptive qualitative approach with a field research design, the study was conducted at Al-Ma’arif Islamic Boarding School in Jombang, East Java. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured in-depth interviews, and document analysis involving 20 respondents, including Arabic language teachers, students, and institutional leaders. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, with validity ensured through triangulation and member checking. The findings reveal that the integration of Arabic learning and moderate Islamic education is implemented systemically through four interrelated components: curriculum integration, contextual-reflective instructional methods, the reinforcement of a moderate language environment (bi’ah lughawiyyah), and holistic evaluation encompassing cognitive, affective, and social dimensions. Empirical evidence indicates that this integrative strategy not only enhances students’ Arabic language competencies but also effectively internalizes values of Islamic moderation such as tolerance, justice, and balance thereby positioning Arabic as both an academic and moral-ideological instrument in fostering inclusive, critical, and peace oriented student character.

Dekonstruksi Pedagogi Feminin Islam Model Integratif Sayyidah Fatimah Sebagai Counter Narrative Feminisme Sekuler Dan Patriarki Tradisional
This study aims to examine the conceptual construction of al-mar’ah al-ṣāliḥah (the pious woman) through the exemplary figure of Sayyidah Fatimah as portrayed in Shahabiyah Haula Ar-Rasul by Shaykh Mahmud Al-Mishri. Employing a library research approach and content analysis method, the study explores both the characteristics of feminine piety and the educational role of Sayyidah Fatimah as a wife within the framework of Islamic education. The findings reveal that piety in women is not fragmented but rather manifests as a multidimensional integration of spiritual, moral, intellectual, and social values. Fatimah’s exemplary conduct emerges as an ethical praxis rather than mere normative compliance, offering a relevant model for contemporary Muslim women. The study contributes theoretically to the development of al-mar’ah al-ṣāliḥah as a holistic model in Islamic gender discourse and family education, while also offering practical implications for premarital education and Muslim women empowerment. Further research is recommended to incorporate empirical data and conduct cross-cultural comparative analysis to expand the relevance and application of this conceptual model.
Perencanaan Bisnis Pendidikan sebagai Strategi Pengembangan dan Keberlanjutan Lembaga Pendidikan
The increasingly dynamic educational environment demands that educational institutions have a well-planned and sustainable management strategy. One relevant strategic approach is the application of business planning to educational institution management. This study aims to analyze the role of educational business planning as a strategy for the development and sustainability of educational institutions, particularly in resource management, improving service quality, and strengthening institutional governance. This study employed a qualitative approach using a literature review method, examining various relevant scientific sources from the past five years, including journal articles, academic books, and reports from international institutions. The study results indicate that educational business planning contributes significantly to improving the effectiveness of human resources, finances, infrastructure, and educational technology management. Furthermore, business planning plays a crucial role in maintaining financial stability, strengthening managerial accountability, and enhancing educational institutions' adaptability to changing policies and societal demands. The discussion also reveals that the successful implementation of educational business planning is significantly influenced by leadership commitment, managerial capacity, and stakeholder involvement. This study confirms that educational business planning is not merely an administrative document, but rather a strategic instrument that supports the holistic development and sustainability of educational institutions. The findings of this study are expected to serve as a conceptual and practical reference for educational institution managers in designing effective, adaptive, and sustainable management strategies.
Pengaruh Penerapan Metode WAFA terhadap Kemampuan Tajwid Siswa Kelas VI SD Muhammadiyah 01 Tanggul Tahun Pelajaran 2025/2026
This study aims to investigate the effect of the implementation of the WAFA Method on the tajweed proficiency of Year 6 students at SD Muhammadiyah 01 Tanggul during the 2025/2026 academic year. The background of this research stems from the generally low level of tajweed skills among students in reading the Qur’an, particularly in the articulation of letters (makhraj) and the application of recitation rules (ahkam al-tajweed). The WAFA Method was chosen because it combines the talaqqi, musyafahah, and tilawah bil nagham approaches, which emphasise active student engagement through repeated practice in reading, listening to, and imitating the teacher's recitation. This approach is believed to improve phonetic accuracy and students’ understanding of tajweed more effectively than conventional methods. The study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design, specifically the Nonequivalent Control Group Design model. The sample consisted of two parallel classes with a total of 48 students, in which the experimental class was taught using the WAFA Method while the control class received instruction through conventional methods. Data were collected via tajweed proficiency tests administered before and after the intervention (pre-test and post-test). Data analysis was conducted using an Independent Samples T-Test with SPSS version 25 to determine the significance of differences between the two groups. The results showed that the application of the WAFA Method had a positive and significant effect on students’ tajweed skills. The experimental class showed an average improvement of 15.66 points, while the control class improved by only 2.08 points. The t-test yielded a value of t = -8.399 with a significance level of Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference between the two groups. These findings demonstrate that the WAFA Method is effective in enhancing letter pronunciation accuracy, the application of recitation rules, and students’ fluency in reading the Qur’an.

Kontribusi Pemikiran Ibnu Rusyd terhadap Paradigma Pendidikan Islam Berbasis Intelektual dan Rasional
This study aims to analyze the biography, intellectual thought, and Islamic educational paradigm of Ibn Rushd (Averroes) and to examine its relevance to contemporary Islamic education, which continues to struggle with normative-dogmatic tendencies and the limited development of critical rationality. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through content analysis of Ibn Rushd’s major works, including Tahāfut al-Tahāfut and Faṣl al-Maqāl, supported by secondary sources such as academic books and peer-reviewed journal articles, as well as interviews with Islamic education scholars and practitioners. The data were analyzed using interpretative and discourse analysis techniques, complemented by source triangulation to ensure validity. The findings reveal that Ibn Rushd positioned reason and revelation as complementary epistemological foundations in Islamic education. Intellectuality, in his perspective, encompasses rational, moral, and spiritual dimensions, aiming at the perfection of the human soul. Furthermore, Ibn Rushd’s educational paradigm emphasizes critical thinking, dialogical learning, and the integration of religious and empirical sciences, while rejecting rigid dogmatism. This study concludes that Ibn Rushd’s rational-integrative framework remains relevant as an alternative conceptual foundation for reforming contemporary Islamic education toward a balanced integration of faith, knowledge, and rationality.
