TINJAUAN SOSIOLOGIS TENTANG HUBUNGAN KIAI SANTRI DAN FUNGSI JARINGAN ALUMNI DALAM TRADISI PESANTREN
Sociologically, the relationship between kiai and santri in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) transcends a mere teacher-student dynamic, forming a distinctive patron-client pattern. As a patron, the kiai provides education, mentorship, and facilities that create dependency, thereby cultivating an attitude of respect and absolute obedience known as sami’na wa atha’na from the santri within a personal, asymmetric, and enduring bond. On the other hand, the resilience of the pesantren tradition is also underpinned by alumni networks functioning as strategic social capital. These networks allow graduates to assist one another in accessing employment, business capital, and professional support, while simultaneously preserving pesantren values and identity within the broader society. Utilizing a qualitative-descriptive library research method, this study demonstrates that the kiai-santri patronage, supported by a charismatic power structure, and the alumni network operating as collective social capital, mutually complement each other. In conclusion, the synergy between the unique internal kiai-santri relationship and the external solidarity of alumni constitutes the primary sociological foundation maintaining the sustainability of the pesantren tradition. Keywords: pesantren; kiai–santri; patron–client; alumni network; social capital; tradition. Abstrak : Hubungan antara kiai dan santri di pesantren secara sosiologis melampaui sekadar relasi guru-murid, melainkan membentuk pola hubungan patron-klien yang khas. Sebagai patron, kiai menyediakan pengajaran, pengasuhan, dan fasilitas yang menciptakan ketergantungan, sehingga melahirkan sikap hormat dan ketaatan mutlak atau sami’na wa atha’na dari santri dalam sebuah ikatan yang personal, asimetris, dan berjangka panjang. Di sisi lain, kekuatan tradisi pesantren juga ditopang oleh jaringan alumni yang berfungsi sebagai modal sosial strategis. Jejaring ini memungkinkan lulusan saling membantu dalam membuka akses pekerjaan, modal usaha, dan dukungan profesional, sekaligus mempertahankan nilai-nilai serta identitas pesantren di tengah masyarakat. Melalui metode studi kepustakaan kualitatif-deskriptif, penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa patronase kiai-santri yang didukung oleh struktur kekuasaan karismatik, serta jaringan alumni yang beroperasi sebagai modal sosial kolektif, saling melengkapi satu sama lain. Kesimpulannya, sinergi antara keunikan relasi internal kiai-santri dan solidaritas eksternal alumni merupakan fondasi sosiologis utama yang menjaga keberlangsungan tradisi pesantren.

REKONSTRUKSI PERAN GURU PENDIDIKAN AGAMA DALAM MEMBENTUK KARAKTER SISWA DI TENGAH KRISIS MORAL REMAJA MODERN
This study examines the reconstruction of the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers as a response to the modern adolescent moral crisis, which is characterized by value disorientation due to the dominance of digital technology and popular culture. Using a qualitative approach based on library research framed within the perspective of Sociology of Ereignis, this research explores academic literature to dissect the ontological dynamics of teaching practices, digital ethical challenges, and the necessity for educator role transformation in the 21st century. Data were collected through document reviews and scholarly text analysis, then analyzed to construct a relevant teacher role model. The findings reveal that the current adolescent moral crisis is not merely behavioral delinquency, but a consequence of value alienation within virtual spaces. Therefore, religious teachers must transform from mere transmitters of theological content into "meaning makers," functioning as value facilitators, authentic moral exemplars, and digital moral counselors. The proposed reconstruction strategies include dilemma-based case learning, personal mentoring, and digital ethics literacy. This study asserts that adaptive, humanistic, and contextual religious education is an absolute foundation for safeguarding the character of the young generation in the era of disruption.

REFLEKSI VISI LEMBAGA PENDIRI DALAM MODEL PENDIDIKAN DAN CIRI KHAS SEKOLAH ISLAM
This study examines how the founding institution’s vision functions as the foundation for shaping the distinctive characteristics of Islamic schools through their educational models, curricula, and school cultures. Departing from the gap between theoretical ideals and actual practices, this research highlights that many Islamic schools claim a particular identity without fully internalizing the ideological values of their founding organizations. Through a reflective and comparative library-based analysis, this study reviews literature on various Islamic educational organizations such as Muhammadiyah, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), Al-Irsyad, Hidayatullah, and Integrated Islamic Schools which demonstrates variations in educational models based on the ideological orientation of their founders. The findings affirm that the founders’ vision acts as an ideological driver influencing the selection of educational models (integrative, holistic, tahfiz, modern pesantren, or full-day school), the development of Islam-oriented curricula, and the formation of religious school culture as institutional identity. This study offers a conceptual framework that explains the causal relationship between the founders’ vision and educational practices in Islamic schools, filling the gap in previous comparative studies that typically focused on single organizations. The results underscore that consistency between the founders’ vision and its educational implementation is a key determinant of the character and uniqueness of Islamic schools.

BEYOND RITUAL EVALUATION: HAFLATUL IMTIHAN AS A MEANINGFUL EVENT OF COMMUNAL BECOMING IN PROBOLINGGO
This study explores Haflatul Imtihan at TPQ Tarbiyatul Quran Probolinggo, not merely as an academic examination mechanism, but as a meaningful event (Ereignis) that constitutes the community's spiritual world. While conventional sociological approaches often reduce such rituals to their functional roles as tools for education or social cohesion—this research adopts a Sociology of Ereignis framework to understand how the event discloses the lived religious experience of the participants. Through phenomenological engagement and reflexive observation, the study reveals that Haflatul Imtihan serves as a moment of mutual disclosure where the sacred (the Quran) and the social (the community) are intertwined. It is not just a test of memory, but a transformative event where the identity of the community is continuously re-enacted and the presence of the divine is felt as a shared reality. The findings suggest that true community empowerment emerges not from technical management, but from the authentic participation in these world-shaping events.

PENGGUNAAN PROGRAM UNGGULAN KEAGAMAAN DALAM STRATEGI PENCITRAAN MEREK SEKOLAH ISLAM MODERN
This study aims to analyze how the concept of branding is applied in the context of modern Islamic educational institutions and how religious excellence programs contribute to building the school’s image and strengthening public trust. Branding in modern Islamic schools is not merely a promotional tool but a strategic effort to reflect Islamic values integrated with scientific and technological advancement. Programs such as Qur’an memorization (Tahfizh), bilingual education, and Islamic character development serve as distinguishing features that define the identity of modern Islamic schools. The findings indicate that the effectiveness of religious programs significantly influences public interest and parental trust in these institutions. The success of branding in modern Islamic education is determined by the consistency between claimed values, professional program implementation, and tangible results in shaping students’ character. Therefore, modern Islamic schools successfully integrate spirituality, intellectuality, and modernity, making them trusted and preferred institutions within society.

STRATIFIKASI PENDIDIKAN ISLAM: ANALISIS KEPUSTAKAAN TENTANG REPRODUKSI KELAS SOSIAL DI SEKOLAH ISLAM MODERN
This article explores social inequality within Islamic education, particularly focusing on the divide between elite Islamic schools catering to the upper class and modest Islamic schools serving ordinary communities. The study aims to conceptually examine how this disparity affects the core Islamic values of social justice and equality in education. Employing a library research method with a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected and analyzed from relevant academic literature. The findings reveal that while the modernization of Islamic education has contributed positively to improving quality and professionalism, it has also generated negative effects such as commercialization and the loss of autonomy in grassroots Islamic schools. The study argues that reform in Islamic education is essential to ensure inclusivity and equity in access to quality learning. Efforts such as scholarship programs, cross-subsidization, and strengthening of madrasah institutions are crucial to restore the fundamental purpose of Islamic education as a means of enlightenment and empowerment grounded in social justice.

TRANSFORMASI PERAN GURU PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM DALAM MEWUJUDKAN TRAUMA-SENSITIVE ISLAMIC EDUCATION
This study aims to map the construction of the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers from the perspective of Trauma-Sensitive Islamic Education (TSIE) in response to the growing need for safe, empathetic pedagogical practices that support students' psycho-spiritual recovery. Using a qualitative approach based on a literature review, this study examines literature related to Islamic pedagogy, trauma psychology, spiritual care, and the concept of trauma-informed education to develop a comprehensive theoretical framework. The analysis was conducted using the Miles & Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate that TSIE reconstructs the role of Islamic Religious Education teachers into four main domains: (1) Trauma-Sensitive Pedagogical Praxis, namely the restructuring of teaching practices that are gentle, predictable, and avoid triggers of trauma; (2) Emotional Counseling, which is providing emotional and spiritual support through empathy, validation, and a calming relational presence; (3) Spiritual Calming Agency, namely the use of prayer, dhikr, and tadabbur as strategies for emotional regulation and inner recovery; and (4) Safe Space Learning Ecology, namely the development of a safe, supportive, and threat-free classroom ecosystem as a foundation for effective learning. This research confirms that TSIE provides a conceptual foundation for Islamic education that is more humanistic, holistic, and responsive to the psychosocial dynamics of students. However, its implementation requires strengthening teacher capacity through trauma sensitivity training and consistent integration of pedagogical-spiritual practices. Further research is needed to empirically test this model through case studies or classroom ethnography.

TINJAUAN SOSIOLOGIS TENTANG FENOMENA BULLYING DAN KENAKALAN SISWA DI LINGKUNGAN SEKOLAH BERBASIS AGAMA
The phenomenon of bullying and student delinquency in faith based schools in Indonesia has become an increasingly complex social issue. Religious schools, which are ideally centers for moral development, are not free from acts of bullying and deviant behavior among students. This study aims to analyze this phenomenon from a sociological perspective, focusing on the influence of social structure, religious culture, and social media on student behavior. The research employs a library research method with a qualitative approach, drawing data from relevant books, scientific journals, and academic articles. The findings reveal that the hierarchical social structure in religious schools reinforces power relations between senior and junior students, which often lead to acts of bullying. Furthermore, an exclusive religious culture fosters social stratification based on moral labeling, while social media serves as a new arena for performing religious identity, intensifying social pressure and symbolic competition among students. This study concludes that bullying and delinquency in religious schools are products of complex social interactions between religious values, social structures, and digital culture.

THE CONCEPTS OF LONG LIFE EDUCATION AND EDUCATION FOR ALL: THEORY, IMPLEMENTATION AND DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS
This study examines two fundamental concepts in educational theory: Long Life Education and Education For All. Long Life Education emphasizes continuous learning throughout human life, from prenatal to death, encompassing formal, non-formal, and informal education. Education For All advocates for universal access to education regardless of social, economic, or demographic backgrounds. This research employs a literature review methodology, analyzing various educational theories, Islamic perspectives, and international declarations including the Jomtien (1990) and Dakar (2000) frameworks. Findings reveal that both concepts are deeply rooted in Islamic teachings, supported by constitutional mandates, and essential for human development in the modern era. The study concludes that integrating these concepts is crucial for creating inclusive, equitable, and continuous learning opportunities that address technological advancement, social change, and individual potential development

VISUAL KINESTHETIC BASED INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES IN ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION TO ENHANCE WORSHIP COMPREHENSION AMONG DEAF LEARNERS
Islamic Religious Education for deaf students requires adaptive instructional strategies because auditory limitations make it difficult for them to fully understand religious material when it is delivered verbally. This study aims to develop and analyze a visual kinesthetic based learning strategy to enhance students’ understanding of basic Islamic worship practices, particularly wudu and prayer. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, data were collected through observations, in depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using an interactive model consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the use of visual media (sequential images, demonstrative videos, and worship sign cards) combined with kinesthetic activities (prayer movement exercises, wudu simulations, and repeated demonstrations) significantly improves student engagement and strengthens procedural memory among deaf learners. This strategy also fosters greater confidence and independence in performing worship because learning is presented in a more concrete, structured, and meaningful manner. Therefore, visual kinesthetic based Islamic Religious Education instruction is proven to be an effective, inclusive, and responsive pedagogical approach that aligns with the unique learning needs of deaf students and offers practical recommendations for teachers in designing inclusive religious education.

PEMBELAJARAN KARAKTER MELALUI KEBIASAAN HARIAN DI PONDOK PESANTREN AL MASHDUQIAH
Character education through daily habits at Pondok Pesantren Al Mashduqiah plays a highly significant role in shaping the students' character. This research aims to analyze the influence of daily habits, such as congregational prayer (sholat berjamaah), cleaning duty, and time discipline, on the character formation of students at the Islamic boarding school. The method employed is a mixed-methods approach, combining library research with field observation to delve deeper into the habits implemented in the pesantren and their impact on the students' character. Data were collected through direct observation of students' daily activities and interviews with pesantren administrators. The findings indicate that the habits of congregational prayer, religious study activities (pengajian), and time discipline consistently contribute to the formation of disciplined character, responsibility, and a sense of solidarity among students. Furthermore, the dormitory environment, which supports intense social interaction, also accelerates the internalization of taught moral values, making character education more effective. In conclusion, daily habituation at Pondok Pesantren Al Mashduqiah provides an important contribution to forming individuals with noble morals and responsibility, as well as creating an environment that supports the development of students' character in various aspects of life.

FITRAH MANUSIA DAN PEMBELAJARAN MENDALAM: PERSPEKTIF FILSAFAT IBNU SINA
Studies on human nature in Islamic education are often understood in a normative-theological manner and have not been fully placed within a systematic philosophical anthropological framework. This article aims to analyze the concept of human nature from the perspective of Ibn Sina's philosophy through a discussion of the structure of the soul, its powers, and the hierarchy of intellect, and to relate it to the deep learning approach in contemporary Islamic education. This research is a literature study with a philosophical approach, using conceptual and interpretive analysis methods on Ibn Sina's major works, particularly Kitāb al-Nafs in al-Shifā' and al-Ishārāt wa al-Tanbīhāt, as well as relevant contemporary academic literature. The results of the analysis show that human nature according to Ibn Sina can be understood as the ontological potential of the soul that develops gradually through the actualization of the powers of the soul and intellect, starting from the potential intellect ('aql hayūlānī) to the acquired intellect ('aql mustafād). This process of intellectual development shows conceptual compatibility with the principles of deep learning, which emphasizes meaningful understanding, reflection, and the development of higher-order thinking skills. This article argues that Ibn Sina's thinking provides a strong philosophical foundation for the application of deep learning in Islamic education, while also enriching the discourse on education in Indonesia, including in the context of the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. Thus, the classical concept of human nature is not only theoretically relevant, but also has practical implications for the development of holistic Islamic education.

USWATUN HASANAH LEARNING MODELS THROUGH CURRENT TECHNOLOGY
Learning is a crucial process undertaken by educators and students. This process requires the use of a variety of models and methods to create a more engaging and effective learning environment. The importance of innovation in learning methods is inseparable from the rapid development of technology. Technology can be utilized to support classroom learning activities, provide broader resources, and facilitate interaction between educators and students. This study adopted a qualitative approach with a document content analysis research design, focusing on the learning methods and models used. Several important findings in this study include the implementation of the synectic learning model, the application of the uswah hasanah method, and the collaboration between the two in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning. These findings contribute to the development of a more effective learning process, in which modern technology, including social media, plays an increasingly important role. Thus, the resulting learning becomes more collaborative, innovative, and relevant to the needs of the times, thereby increasing student motivation and learning outcomes. The implementation of these models and methods is expected to provide a memorable and meaningful learning experience..

MAKNA IBADAH DALAM KEHIDUPAN SOSIAL MAHASISWA MUSLIM
Worship in the social aspect of Muslim student life has frequently been perceived as confined to vertical rituals (hablun minallah) rather than social practices (hablun minannas). This research aims to analyze how Muslim students interpret worship, particularly prayer, fasting, and charity, and how this interpretation is reflected in their social interactions and student activities. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design at three universities, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, and then analyzed thematically. The research findings indicate that students who comprehensively understand worship tend to have higher levels of empathy, social care, and a sense of collective responsibility. Worship performed with reflective awareness brings inner peace and fosters social piety, such as honesty in organizations, fairness toward others, and active participation in philanthropic activities and community service. This finding confirms that worship is not merely an individual spiritual obligation but rather an important foundation in shaping social ethics and building a civilized, inclusive, and harmonious campus culture.

PERAN SISTEM PENDIDIKAN MUHAMMADIYAH DALAM PENCETAKAN KADER DAN TRANSFORMASI SOSIAL: SEBUAH STUDI LITERATUR SISTEMATIS
The Muhammadiyah education system has long been considered a key instrument not only in knowledge transfer but also in the reproduction of Islamic social movements in Indonesia. This study aims to synthesize the findings of scientific literature regarding the dual role of the system: as an engine for cadre formation and as an agent for social transformation. The method used is a Systematic Literature Review with a qualitative approach to journal articles, theses, and dissertations published between 2014-2024, sourced from Google Scholar and Garuda Portal databases. The synthesis results indicate that: (1) Cadre formation is built through a coherent trilogy of mechanisms ideological curriculum (Al-Islam and Kemuhammadiyahan), activism in autonomous organizations (IPM/IMM), and environmental role modeling; (2) Social transformation manifests in a graded spectrum, from charitable services and economic empowerment to policy advocacy, executed by educational outputs through Muhammadiyah's philanthropic network; (3) These two functions form a self-sustaining dialectical cycle, where education produces cadres, cadres become agents of change, and the success of that change reproduces legitimacy and new resources to attract the next generation of cadres. This study concludes that the sustainability of the Muhammadiyah movement stems from the capacity of its education system to function as a self-reproducing ecosystem. These findings provide a theoretical contribution in the form of an analytical model for the sustainability of education-based social movements and practical implications for strengthening the institutional capacity of community organizations.

COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT BASED ON TURATS TRADITION: A STUDY OF THE NGAJI KITAB GATHERING ON WAGE THURSDAY NIGHT AT MIFTAHUL ULUM ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOL PROBOLINGGO
This study investigates the manifestation of community empowerment rooted in the living turats tradition through the Ngaji Kitab gathering on Wage Thursday Nights at Miftahul Ulum Islamic Boarding School, Probolinggo. This initiative emerged as an existential response to the community's yearning for deeper and structured religious understanding, particularly in fiqh and akhlak derived from the Kitab Kuning. Employing a qualitative-descriptive approach with a sociology of ereignis orientation, the research involves immersive observation, informal interviews, and documentation to capture the congregation's lived experience. The findings reveal that the Sullam Taufiq gathering is not merely a routine, but a moment of disclosure where the transmission of wisdom occurs through communicative methods, local vernacular, and concrete analogies that bridge classical texts with daily life. The resonance of this activity extends to strengthening social cohesion and empowering micro-economies, underscoring that the turats tradition holds vital potential as a medium for shaping religious literacy and cementing the social fabric of rural communities.

PENDEKATAN INTERDISIPLINER PADA MATERI AKIL BALIG KELAS IV SD DALAM MATA PELAJARAN PAIBP
Learning of Islamic Religious Education and Character (Pendidikan Agama Islam dan Budi Pekerti/PAIBP) at the elementary school level requires the application of approaches that are not only normative and doctrinal but also contextual and aligned with students’ developmental stages. One of the essential topics in Grade IV is puberty (akil balig), which is closely related to students’ biological, psychological, social, and moral aspects. This topic requires a comprehensive learning strategy so that it can be understood appropriately and meaningfully. This article aims to examine the implementation of an interdisciplinary approach in teaching puberty material in the PAIBP subject for Grade IV elementary school students. The research method employed is a literature review by analyzing sources such as Islamic education books, PAIBP curriculum documents, and scholarly articles relevant to interdisciplinary approaches in education. The findings indicate that the interdisciplinary approach is able to integrate Islamic values with other disciplines, including Natural Sciences, Physical and Health Education, and Social Studies. Such integration makes puberty learning more holistic, contextual, and relevant to students’ developmental needs, while also helping students understand personal changes from both scientific and religious perspectives.

TELAAH META-SINTESIS ATAS KONSEP PENDIDIKAN SEPANJANG HAYAT DALAM AL-QUR'AN: KONVERGENSI ANTARA TAFSIR MAUDHU'I DAN FILSAFAT PENDIDIKAN KONTEMPORER
This study aims to construct a philosophical framework of lifelong learning through a meta-synthesis of key concepts in the Qur'an using the thematic interpretation (tafsir maudhu'i) approach, while identifying points of convergence and divergence with contemporary educational philosophy discourse. Employing a philosophical meta-synthesis method with systematic literature review, this research collects and analyzes Qur'anic verses on knowledge, intellect, and learning, and compares them with paradigms of progressivism, humanism, and critical education. The findings indicate that the Qur'an constructs a holistic, integrative, and transcendentally teleological concept of lifelong education (based on ‘ubūdiyyah and khalīfah). Significant convergence is found in the emphasis on active, contextual, learner-centered, and decentralized learning. However, the Qur'an offers a theocentric foundation that provides deep meaning and intrinsic motivation, while also serving as a correction to the tendencies of extreme instrumentalism and secularism in some contemporary streams. The resulting synthesis offers a paradigm of lifelong education that is liberating, meaningful, and relevant for developing educational policies and practices in contemporary Muslim societies.

INTEGRASI PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM DAN ILMU PENGETAHUAN ALAM DALAM PEMBELAJARAN: TINJAUAN SISTEMATIS LITERATUR
The integration of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) and Natural Sciences (IPA) is a strategic approach to eliminating the dichotomy of knowledge and shaping students who excel both cognitively and spiritually. This study aims to examine the forms, models, impacts, and challenges of implementing IRE-IPA integration through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method using the PRISMA protocol. Data were sourced from Google Scholar, SINTA, and Scopus, yielding 25 relevant articles from the last ten years, which were analyzed using content analysis techniques. The review results indicate that integration is generally implemented by linking cosmic verses (ayat kauniyah) with scientific concepts, instilling monotheistic values in natural phenomena, and applying integrative thematic learning. This practice has been shown to have a positive impact on enhancing understanding of scientific concepts, strengthening religious attitudes, and shaping student character. However, significant challenges were identified, including limitations in teacher competency, a lack of integrative teaching materials, and suboptimal curriculum support. This study contributes a comprehensive mapping of research findings and serves as a conceptual reference for developing integrative learning in schools and madrasas to strengthen the synergy between science and religion.

PENDIDIKAN ISLAM DAN TRADISI LOKAL: TELAAH LITERATUR TENTANG DINAMIKA PENOLAKAN, PENERIMAAN, DAN AKOMODASI
This article examines the relationship between Islamic schools and local cultural traditions through a literature review focusing on patterns of rejection, acceptance, and accommodation. The findings reveal that some Islamic schools reject local traditions that are viewed as lacking normative foundations in Islamic teachings, while others accept traditions considered not contradictory to Islamic principles. Additionally, a third pattern—accommodation—shows how certain schools selectively reinterpret or modify local traditions to align with Islamic values. This literature review highlights that the interaction between Islamic education and local culture is strongly influenced by ideological orientation, socio-cultural context, and the religious paradigm adopted by each institution. The study concludes that the relationship between Islamic schools and local traditions is dynamic and continues to evolve alongside societal changes and the development of Islamic thought.

DARI GEMEINSCHAFT KE DIGITAL-GESELLSCHAFT: DIALEKTIKA INTERAKSI GURU-MURID DI MADRASAH ERA POST-PANDEMI
This article examines the fundamental impact of digital technology adoption, particularly e-learning platforms and WhatsApp, on teacher–student interaction patterns in madrasahs. The scope of the study focuses on the transformation of pedagogical relationships within Islamic educational settings. Adopting the perspective of the Sociology of Ereignis, this research conceptualizes interaction not merely as an exchange of information, but as a meaningful educational event that is increasingly mediated—and potentially reduced—by digital screens. The study employs a qualitative approach through a systematic literature review, critically analyzed using sociological and philosophical frameworks. The findings indicate an ontological shift from warm, relational, and spiritually grounded interactions (Gemeinschaft) toward more functional, instrumental, and distanced forms of interaction (Digital-Gesellschaft). Furthermore, the study reveals a dialectical paradox of digital technology: while it democratizes access to knowledge and weakens traditional hierarchical structures, it simultaneously risks diminishing the spiritual depth of teacher–student relationships and exacerbating social inequalities through the digital divide. The article concludes that, in order to preserve the essence of Islamic education grounded in ta’dib and tarbiyah, madrasahs must move beyond mere technological adoption and critically reconstruct digital interactions so that they remain authentic educational encounters rather than mere transactions of information.

FUNGSI SOSIAL ATURAN BERPAKAIAN DI SEKOLAH ISLAM DALAM PERSPEKTIF SOSIOLOGI PENDIDIKAN
Dress codes in Islamic schools are commonly understood as religious regulations aimed at instilling modesty and moral compliance among students. Such an understanding tends to frame dress codes as individual moral obligations, thereby overlooking their broader social and structural dimensions. This article aims to analyze the social functions of dress codes in Islamic schools from the perspective of the sociology of education. Employing a qualitative-descriptive literature review, this study examines scholarly journal articles, sociological theories, and publicly accessible policy documents from Islamic schools. The findings indicate that dress codes function as mechanisms of bodily discipline, symbols of collective identity formation, and instruments of social control institutionalized within educational systems. Furthermore, dress codes contribute to the reproduction of power relations and social structures through standards of appearance, symbolic representations, and sanction systems. This article argues that dress codes in Islamic schools should not be understood merely as religious norms, but as social practices embedded within the broader project of modern Islamic education.

FUNGSI SOSIAL SERAGAM DAN ATURAN BERBUSANA DI LEMBAGA PENDIDIKAN ISLAM
The implementation of school uniforms and dress code regulations in Islamic educational institutions is often understood merely as the fulfillment of religious norms. However, these practices also have important social functions in shaping students’ behavior and social life. This study aims to analyze the social functions of school uniforms and dress codes in Islamic educational institutions from the perspective of the sociology of education. The research employs a qualitative library research method through the analysis of academic books, scholarly journal articles, and official documents of Islamic educational institutions. Data analysis is conducted using content analysis and thematic analysis. The findings indicate that school uniforms and dress codes function as mechanisms for the internalization of moral values, the formation of collective identity, social control, the cultivation of discipline, and the creation of social equality within the school environment. Furthermore, dress practices contribute to the transfer of institutional values into students’ social lives in the wider community. Thus, school uniforms and dress codes can be regarded as a form of social investment in character formation, indicating that Islamic education is oriented not only toward academic achievement but also toward the development of individuals with strong social and moral awareness.

TINJAUAN PUSTAKA: PERAN SEKOLAH ISLAM DALAM MEMBENTUK KESADARAN POLITIK DAN KEWARGANEGARAAN SISWA
Islamic schools play a strategic role in shaping students’ political and civic awareness amid the increasingly complex socio-political dynamics of Indonesian society. This article aims to systematically examine the role of Islamic schools in cultivating students’ political awareness and civic identity based on findings from previous studies. The method employed is a literature review, analyzing various scholarly sources, including books, journal articles, and policy documents related to Islamic education, civic education, and political education. The findings indicate that Islamic schools contribute significantly through the integration of the national curriculum with Islamic values, particularly within Civic and Pancasila Education, Islamic Religious Education, as well as extracurricular activities and school culture. Islamic values such as justice (al-‘adl), trust (amanah), deliberation (shura), responsibility, tolerance, and social concern serve as ethical foundations in shaping students’ moderate and democratic political attitudes. Moreover, teachers’ roles as role models, participatory school environments, and students’ involvement in school organizations further strengthen the formation of civic awareness. Nevertheless, the review also identifies several challenges, including limited teacher competence, insufficient curriculum integration, and the influence of globalization. Therefore, strengthening political education grounded in Islamic values is essential to developing a generation of Muslims with strong character, political awareness, and responsibility within democratic life.

FUNGSI SOSIAL PERPUSTAKAAN DAN GERAKAN LITERASI DALAM MEMBANGUN BUDAYA MEMBACA DI KALANGAN SISWA MADRASAH
This study explores the role of libraries and literacy movements in fostering a reading culture among students at Madrasah (Islamic schools). Libraries, as central hubs for literacy, provide essential resources that contribute to the development of students' knowledge and critical thinking. The study uses qualitative methods to examine the implementation of literacy programs in Madrasah and their impact on reading habits. The findings indicate that libraries and literacy movements not only enhance students' academic performance but also support the spiritual and moral development of students. The study concludes by suggesting strategies for improving literacy programs in Islamic schools and their role in fostering a reading culture in line with Islamic values.

IMPLEMENTASI PEMBELAJARAN AQIDAH AKHLAK DALAM MEMBENTUK KARAKTER ANAK USIA DINI DI PAUD CENDANA PUTIH
Character education in early childhood forms the basis for holistic human development. While implementing Aqidah Akhlak learning in early childhood education is considered strategic, there is limited empirical evidence on its models and effectiveness in specific contexts. This study analyzes the implementation of Aqidah Akhlak learning and its contribution to character development at Cendana Putih Kindergarten. Using a qualitative single case study design, data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews with five teachers and seven parents, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman (1994) model. Integrated Aqidah Akhlak learning is implemented through value habituation activities, teacher role modeling (uswah), exemplary narratives (qishah), and a supportive environment. This approach significantly shapes children's character, especially in independence, discipline, respect, and responsibility. Collaboration among schools, families, and communities serves as a key reinforcing factor. Contextual and holistic Aqidah Akhlak learning is effective as a foundation for character education in early childhood. The findings recommend developing locally based modules and structured parenting programs for broader application.

STRATEGI GURU DALAM MENERAPKAN ASESMEN FORMATIF DAN SUMATIF PADA PEMBELAJARAN DI KELAS KURIKULUM MERDEKA
This study focuses on teachers' implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in classroom learning using formative assessment and summative assessment instruments with material scope in accordance with the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (Kemendikdasmen) academic year version. This study uses a literature study method with reference to case study results, teachers' problems needs presented in previous studies. These research limitations in teachers' implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum, which is adapted to the contextualisation of students' circumstances in subjects that require more attention to supporting aspects, and the influence of the government in the administration that teachers must carry out, thereby restrict innovative space to achieve learning objectives. Teachers' strategies in determining formative and summative assessments appropriate to students' circumstances still have obstacles, so continuous improvement of competence and technological guidance is needed in adapting to students' needs. In addition, teachers' creativity in strategy still needs to be developed, with flexibility being a point of opportunity for objective assessment results.

FENOMENA MANAJEMEN PERUBAHAN PENDIDIKAN ISLAM TRANSFORMATIF
This study examines the phenomenon of change management in transformative Islamic education as a response to global disruption, the Industrial Revolution 4.0, and Society 5.0. The purpose of the study is to analyze how the principles of change management can be integrated with Islamic spiritual values to build educational institutions that are adaptive while remaining grounded in tawhid. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach based on a literature review, utilizing content analysis and conceptual synthesis of various scholarly sources, including books and recent academic journals. The findings indicate that the success of change management in Islamic educational institutions depends on three main aspects: transformational leadership, managerial competence, and effective instructional supervision. The integration of modern change theories—such as the models proposed by Kurt Lewin and Kotter—with Islamic values such as tazkiyah, islah, and tajdid gives rise to a management system that is not only efficient but also spiritual and oriented toward the common good (maslahah). Other supporting factors include the use of educational technology, adaptive organizational restructuring, and a collaborative work culture. This study contributes to the field of Islamic educational management by offering a new theoretical framework that emphasizes that genuine educational transformation can only be realized through the synergy between modern managerial systems and prophetic Islamic ethics.

PERAN CITIZEN JOURNALISM DAN MEDIA SOSIAL DALAM AKUNTABILITAS PUBLIK MUTU PENDIDIKAN ISLAM: ANALISIS SENTIMEN DAN DAMPAKNYA TERHADAP REPUTASI INSTITUSI
This study aims to analyze the shift of accountability for the quality of Islamic education into the digital public sphere through citizen journalism practices and the dynamics of social media sentiment. The research uses a qualitative approach with an interpretative paradigm and employs descriptive-analytical research methods. Data were collected through digital observation (netnography), documentation of social media content, in-depth interviews with pesantren leaders, social media managers, parents of students, and alumni, as well as literature studies. Data analysis was conducted thematically, combined with qualitative sentiment analysis. Meanwhile, the validity of the data was maintained through source and data triangulation. The research results show that social media has become a social evaluation mechanism that influences the formation of perceptions, trust, and the reputation of Islamic educational institutions. Experience-based citizen journalism practices encourage transparency, public participation, and more open accountability, where institutional legitimacy no longer rests solely on administrative aspects, but on the construction of collective opinion in the digital space. This study contributes to strengthening the perspective of social accountability in the management of the quality of Islamic education in the digital era.

MODEL APPRECIATIVE INQUIRY (AI) BERBASIS KEARIFAN LOKAL DALAM PENINGKATAN MUTU BERKELANJUTAN : STUDI ETNOGRAFI DI PESANTREN SALAF
This study aims to analyze the application of Appreciative Inquiry (AI) based on the local wisdom of traditional Islamic boarding schools (pesantren salaf) as a strategy to improve the quality of sustainable education. The study uses a qualitative approach with an ethnographic design conducted at Pondok Pesantren Salafiyah Asy-Syafi’iyyah Darul Qur’an. The ethnographic approach is used to capture in depth the daily practices, cultural values, and the underlying meaning in the formation and maintenance of educational quality in the life of the pesantren. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and document studies involving key informants, including the guiding clerics (kiai), pesantren administrators, senior religious teachers (guru ngaji), and senior students (santri). Data analysis was carried out interactively through the processes of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions, while data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation, extended researcher participation in the field, as well as member checking. The study results show that the quality of education in traditional Islamic boarding schools (pesantren salaf) is not understood as adherence to formal standards, but rather as a form of collective reflective awareness rooted in the tradition of kitab discussions, halaqah, the exemplary leadership of kiais, the value of sincerity, and khidmah. Appreciative Inquiry does not appear as a formal managerial model, but transforms into a covert cultural practice that integrates into the social structure of the pesantren, thus allowing quality improvement to occur contextually, evolutionarily, and sustainably without provoking cultural resistance. This study contributes to the development of Islamic education quality management discourse by offering a quality improvement model that is sensitive to local culture and aligns with the identity of traditional pesantren.

MEMBEDAH BLUE OCEAN STRATEGY: BAGAIMANA PESANTREN KECIL BISA BERSAING DENGAN SEKOLAH INTERNASIONAL
This article explores a new paradigm in the management and development of Islamic education through the concept of "Pesantren 5.0." Amidst the wave of technological disruption, Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) face significant challenges in maintaining the authenticity of the "Kitab Kuning" (classical text) literacy tradition while adapting to the efficiencies offered by Artificial Intelligence (AI). This study aims to formulate an integration model where AI technology is not perceived as a threat to the religious authority of the Kyai, but rather as an acceleration instrument in learning methodologies and institutional management. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, this article dissects how the implementation of AI-based tools can assist students (santri) in performing rapid cross-reference searches within classical texts, conducting deeper textual analysis, and automating pesantren administration for greater transparency. The discussion reveals that the key to the future development of pesantren lies in "hybrid pedagogy" maintaining spirituality and the chain of knowledge (sanad) through personal, human interaction, while cognitive and operational processes are supported by intelligent digital systems. Consequently, Pesantren 5.0 is not merely about the digitalization of physical facilities but involves a transformation of the educational management mindset to create a learning ecosystem relevant to industrial needs without uprooting core boarding school values.

EPISTEMOLOGI BAYANI, BURHANI, IRFANI DALAM INTEGRASI KEILMUAN
The development of modern scientific knowledge demands an educational paradigm capable of integrating Islamic values with rational and empirical approaches. Since the classical period, the Islamic intellectual tradition has offered three epistemological frameworks—bayani, burhani, and irfani—each possessing distinct characteristics in the process of knowledge production. This study aims to analyze the relationship, contributions, and implementation of these three epistemologies within the integration of knowledge in Islamic education. The method employed is a library research approach by examining books, journal articles, conference proceedings, and academic documents through the stages of literature inventory, classification, content analysis, and synthesis. The findings indicate that the bayani epistemology functions as a normative foundation for understanding revealed texts through linguistic principles and ushul fiqh methodologies. Burhani serves as a rational-empirical framework emphasizing demonstrative logic and verification of reality, making it relevant for strengthening scientific methods. Irfani complements both by providing a spiritual, ethical, and intuitive dimension as the basis for character formation in learners. The implementation of these three epistemologies in education can be realized through the integration of text-based learning (bayani), scientific research and observation (burhani), as well as moral and spiritual development (irfani). The synergy among them forms a holistic model of Islamic education that is adaptive to contemporary developments while remaining rooted in Islamic values. This study affirms that the epistemological integration of bayani, burhani, and irfani serves as an essential foundation for constructing a comprehensive Islamic scientific paradigm relevant to the needs of the modern era.

EPISTEMOLOGI ILMU DALAM PENDIDIKAN ISLAM: ANALISIS STUDI PUSTAKA TERHADAP DIKOTOMI, INTEGRASI, DAN INTERKONEKSI ILMU PENGETAHUAN
The epistemology of knowledge is a crucial foundation in the development of Islamic education because it determines the perspective on the source, validity, and purpose of knowledge. A persistent problem in contemporary Islamic education is the dichotomy between religious and general knowledge, which has resulted in fragmentation of knowledge and a weakening of the integration of Islamic values. This study aims to analyze the epistemology of knowledge in Islamic education through an examination of the concepts of dichotomy, integration, and interconnection of knowledge. This study uses a qualitative approach with library research methods, examining the works of classical and contemporary Muslim thinkers and scientific journal articles relevant to the philosophy of knowledge and Islamic education. Data analysis techniques include content analysis and conceptual-philosophical analysis to uncover the epistemological assumptions and educational implications of these concepts. The results of the study indicate that the dichotomy of knowledge is a historical construct influenced by the paradigm of Western secularism and is inconsistent with the Islamic worldview. The concept of integration of knowledge seeks to unite religious and general knowledge within the framework of monotheism, while the approach of interconnection of knowledge emphasizes dialogue and interdisciplinary connections in understanding the complexity of reality. This research confirms that the integrative-interconnective paradigm is a relevant epistemological approach to reconstruct Islamic education to make it more holistic, valuable, and responsive to the challenges of the times.

ANALISIS PENGAWASAN BERBASIS DATA ANALYTICS DALAM MENINGKATKAN AKUNTABILITAS EVALUASI PENDIDIKAN DI ERA TRANSFORMASI DIGITAL MTS. AL FALAH PUTRI WULUHAN
This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of implementing a data analytics-based digital dashboard in improving the transparency, accuracy, and responsiveness of education supervision. The research uses a qualitative method with a case study design combined with a systematic review thru the PRISMA framework. Data collection techniques include field observation, in-depth interviews, performance documentation, and a search of reputable national and international articles. Data analysis techniques used a thematic model, referencing Thematic Analysis by Braun and Clarke, employing a systematic coding process to inductively and deductively identify and interpret key patterns in empirical data, resulting in structured, objective, and contextual interpretations. Data validity was tested using source, technique, and theory triangulation to ensure the validity and reliability of the findings. The research results indicate that utilizing data analytics thru digital dashboards can strengthen performance indicator mapping, provide early detection of quality deviations, present objective visualizations of achievements, and predict risks of declining educational quality, while simultaneously addressing classic problems such as delayed reports, low validity of field findings, and weak coordination between educational units. The implementation of a data analytics-based digital dashboard allows for the real-time, objective, and measurable integration of teacher performance data and learning achievement. The positive impacts include increased transparency, accuracy of evaluation, and speed of supervisory decision-making. Obstacles such as digital literacy limitations and data fragmentation are overcome thru indicator standardization, continuous training, and the integration of systems based on institutional policies.

FENOMENA BIMBINGAN BELAJAR DI KALANGAN SISWA MADRASAH
The increasing number of madrasah students participating in private tutoring (bimbel) is a response to the dynamics of academic competition and educational mobility, which have become increasingly competitive. This article aims to analyze various factors driving student participation through the lens of social reality construction using a literature review method. The results of the study indicate that students' decisions are influenced by a complex interaction between social and academic factors. Socially, participation is triggered by parental expectations that view private tutoring as a future investment, peer pressure that establishes "normal" effort standards, and the desire to achieve success symbols through public university entrance exams. Academically, the curricular gap between religious and general subjects, limited instructional time at madrasahs, and the advantages of practical methods and structured learning offered by tutoring institutions are primary drivers for students to seek enrichment outside of school. Thus, private tutoring functions as a strategic means to cope with social and academic pressures while simultaneously serving as an instrument to enhance the readiness of madrasah students for evaluations and further education.

FUNGSI JIWA KEHENDAK DALAM PSIKOLOGI PENDIDIKAN ISLAM
The will (al-irādah) is a fundamental element in Islamic educational psychology that functions as a driving force for behavior, learning motivation, and self-control among students. In the Islamic perspective, will is not merely understood as a psychological impulse, but as a spiritual potential integrated with reason and the heart in shaping human choices and moral responsibility. This study aims to analyze the function of the will in Islamic educational psychology and its relevance to students’ character formation. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method through library research by examining the Qur’an, Hadith, and relevant literature on psychology and Islamic education. The findings indicate that the will plays a strategic role in directing learning behavior, strengthening self-discipline, and fostering students’ moral and spiritual commitment. The development of the will in Islamic education can be implemented through the internalization of monotheistic values, habituation of worship practices, role modeling, and continuous moral education. Therefore, strengthening the will becomes a crucial foundation in realizing holistic Islamic education oriented toward the formation of faithful, ethical, and responsible individuals.

ANALISIS KEBUTUHAN SISWA PENGGUNAAN MODEL GAME BASED LEARNING BERBASIS ROBLOX PADA PELAJARAN FIKIH DI SEKOLAH
The development of information and communication technology today requires innovation in learning, including in the subject of Fiqh. A less interactive learning process has the potential to reduce students' motivation and understanding of the material in Fiqh subjects. This study aims to analyze students' needs for the use of Roblox-based Game Based Learning models in Fiqh subjects in schools. This research uses the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model, which is focused on the needs analysis stage. The research subjects consisted of 15 students of class XI RPL at SMKS Karya Bakti Sindang. The data collection technique was carried out through the distribution of questionnaires which included pedagogical, technical, cognitive, interest and motivation aspects of learning, as well as evaluative, with a Likert scale of 1-5. The results showed that all aspects obtained an average score above 3, with most indicators being in the "most needed" to "urgently needed" category. These findings indicate that students have technical readiness, high interest, and a need for more interactive Fiqh learning, utilizing visual media, and game-based learning. The results of this research provide a conceptual basis for the development of Roblox-based Fiqh learning media in Fiqh subjects, as well as a strong basis to continue at the next stage in this Research and Development (R&D) research.

PENGALAMAN GURU DALAM MENGIDENTIFIKASI DAN MENANGANI GANGGUAN JUGA PENYIMPANGAN PERKEMBANGAN SISWA SEKOLAH DASAR: STUDI FENOMENOLOGI
This study aims to explore teachers' experiences in identifying and addressing developmental disorders and deviations in elementary school students at SDN Kencong 01. The study used a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design to understand the meaning of teachers' pedagogical experiences in the context of everyday learning. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with fifth-grade teachers, observations of the learning process, and analysis of supporting documents. Data were then analyzed using data reduction, thematic coding, and extracting essential meanings. Data validity was ensured through triangulation of sources and techniques. The results showed that teachers play a role as early detectors of developmental disorders and deviations in students through contextual observations of their learning behavior, social interactions, and emotional regulation. The identification process is more intuitive and based on pedagogical experience than formal assessment. In handling, teachers apply a responsive pedagogical approach through adjustments to learning strategies, individual attention, and emotional approaches. However, the effectiveness of these efforts is limited by specific competencies, minimal institutional support, and the absence of supporting professionals in regular public elementary schools. This study concludes that teachers' experiences are an important source of contextual pedagogical knowledge, but require strengthening through school support systems, ongoing training, and structured collaboration with parents. These findings contribute to the development of more inclusive and equitable basic education practices.

ANALISIS KEBUTUHAN: MEDIA INTERAKTIF LIVE BOOK DALAM PEMBELAJARAN PAI UNTUK MENINGKATKAN PEMAHAMAN SISWA
The development of digital technology requires PAI learning in elementary schools to adapt to the current generation who tend to like interactive and audiovisual learning media. However, field facts state that PAI learning is still dominated by lecture methods and conventional media so that it is less able to increase students' interest and understanding. This research is present to analyze the need for the development of live book interactive media in PAI learning. The research method uses Research & Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model which is limited to the analysis stage. The research subjects consisted of teachers and students in grade VI of SDN Liangjulang VI, with collection techniques through questionnaires and interviews. The results of the study show that PAI learning is still dominated by conventional media, while the need for audiovisual-based interactive media is relatively high. Live book media is considered to be able to increase student motivation and understanding. Therefore, the development of live books is needed as a PAI learning innovation.

MOTIVASI PENDIDIKAN DALAM AL-QURAN DAN HADITS
The Qur'an provides a very strong motivational basis for education. The verses regarding the command to read (sura al-Alaq verses 1-5), think (sura az-Zumar verse 9), and seek knowledge (sura at-taubah verse 122) contain encouragement that awakens enthusiasm for learning. Apart from that, Allah's promise to raise the status of those with knowledge (Al-Quran surah al-Mujadilah verse 11) becomes a religious stimulus that strengthens students' motivation. The Al-Qur'an also presents the targhib (promise of reward) method (Al-Quran Surah Fatir verses 29-30) and tarhib (warning of punishment) as a balanced motivational approach, so that students are not only driven by the hope for goodness, but also by awareness of the consequences if they neglect to seek knowledge. The hadith of the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam complements the Qur'anic motivation by emphasizing the obligation to seek knowledge, the primacy of ulama, and the encouragement to continue learning throughout life. These hadiths clearly demonstrate that Islam places education as a highly valued form of worship in the sight of Allah. The Prophet's motivational messages also emphasize that knowledge is light, while ignorance is darkness, making the pursuit of knowledge a path to enlightenment. The exemplary behavior of the Prophet and his companions also serves as practical motivation for students to embrace knowledge as a way of life.

PENDIDIKAN AKHLAK ANAK USIA DINI BERBASIS FITRAH DI TAUD SAQU DAR EL IMAN KOTA PADANG
This study aims to analyze the nature-based moral education of early childhood at TAUD SAQU Dar El Iman, Padang City. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed interactively and continuously. The results indicate that nature-based moral education is implemented through teacher role models, the instillation of religious values, and the creation of a conducive Islamic educational environment. Moral education is not directed at shaping children's behavior externally, but rather at developing the moral and spiritual potential inherent in children from birth. The novelty of this study lies in the operationalization of the concept of nature as an applicable pedagogical paradigm in early childhood education, thus providing conceptual and practical contributions to the development of nature-based moral education in Islamic PAUD institutions.

THE CORRELATION BETWEEN LEARNING STYLE AND STUDENTS' ENGLISH ACHIEVEMENT
The purpose of the study is to determine the correlation between students' learning styles and their English achievement. The research focuses on four learning styles based on the VARK model: Visual, Auditory, Read or Write, and Kinesthetic. A quantitative method with a correlational approach was used, involving eleventh-grade students from one class at a senior high school. The instruments used in this study were a learning style questionnaire consisting of 28 items (7 items for each learning style) and an English achievement test in the form of 30 multiple-choice questions. The data were analyzed using Spearman Rank Correlation to determine the relationship between each learning style and students’ English achievement. The results showed that there was no significant correlation between the four learning styles and students’ English achievement. These findings indicate that learning style preferences may not be strong predictors of students' academic performance in English. Therefore, it is suggested that teachers implement more varied and inclusive teaching strategies that can accommodate different learning preferences and consider other factors that may influence student achievement

INTEGRASI MANAJEMEN PENDIDIKAN SIRKULAR DAN NILAI TAUHID DALAM PENGEMBANGAN SDM ECO-PESANTREN
The transformation of Eco-Pesantren is often hindered by the low sustainability literacy of educators who remain trapped in linear management paradigms. This study reviews the integration of circular educational management with Tauhid values as a foundation for educator competency development. Using a qualitative case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews and managerial observations. The results indicate that internalizing Tauhid values combined with circular efficiency principles transforms organizational behavior from consumptive to regenerative. It is concluded that theo-ecological-based HR development creates a spiritually and operationally sustainable educational ecosystem. Consequently, this model can be adopted as a Green HRM framework in Islamic educational institutions to support the achievement of SDGs.

PARADIGM SHIFT OF ISLAMIC EDUCATION POLICY IN INDONESIA
Islamic education in Indonesia has continuously evolved in response to socio-political change, governance reform, and technological disruption. This article examines the paradigm shift of Islamic education policy across three governmental eras: the Gotong Royong Cabinet, Indonesia Bersatu Cabinet, and Indonesia Maju Cabinet. The study aims to analyze the characteristics, continuity, and transformation of Islamic education paradigms within these periods and their implications for national educational quality. Employing qualitative descriptive research with a historical-comparative approach, data were collected through systematic library research of academic journals, scholarly books, and official policy documents published between 2001 and 2025. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns of policy orientation and paradigm transformation. The findings indicate that Islamic education policy has undergone a gradual transformation from a normative–traditional paradigm emphasizing moral reconstruction, to an integrative paradigm focusing on professionalization and system integration, and finally to an innovative–integrative paradigm characterized by religious moderation and digitalization. This evolution reflects the dynamic interaction between Islamic values, state policy, and global educational demands. The study contributes to the discourse on Islamic education reform by highlighting the importance of policy continuity, value-based modernization, and balanced integration of spirituality and technology in shaping sustainable Islamic education systems.

MODEL RELASI SAINS-AGAMA JOHN HAUGHT: RELEVANSINYA DALAM PENDIDIKAN ISLAM
This article explores John Haught’s model of the science–religion relationship, comprising four main approaches: conflict, contrast, contact, and confirmation. Using library research and descriptive–comparative analysis, the study examines how Haught’s framework offers a dialogical paradigm that enables constructive integration between modern science and religious teachings. The findings reveal that Haught’s “contact” and “confirmation” models hold significant relevance for the development of Islamic education, particularly in designing curricula that respond to scientific progress while maintaining theological integrity. Haught’s thought helps bridge the dichotomy between science and religion, fosters a religiously grounded scientific attitude, and promotes learning that is more critical, open, and holistic. Thus, Haught’s model of the science–religion relationship provides an epistemological foundation for strengthening the integration of knowledge within contemporary Islamic education.

KURIKULUM PENDIDIKAN ISLAM PERSPEKTIF AL-QUR’AN DAN HADIS
This study aims to examine the concept of the Islamic education curriculum from the perspective of the Qur’an and Hadith as fundamental guidelines for shaping the religious character of learners. The curriculum in Islamic education functions not only as a tool for organizing learning activities but also as an instrument for instilling the values of faith, worship, and morality in a balanced manner between worldly and spiritual needs. Using a qualitative research method with a library research approach, this study analyzes primary and secondary literature through processes of identification, classification, interpretation, and synthesis. The findings indicate that the Islamic education curriculum is built upon three fundamental concepts—ta’lim, tarbiyah, and ta’dib—each encompassing cognitive, affective, and psychomotor dimensions. In addition, the characteristics of the Islamic curriculum must reflect a balance between intellectuality, spirituality, morality, and the social needs of learners. The Qur’an and Hadith provide a strong foundation for curriculum components such as the teaching of monotheism (tauhid), the integration of Islam–Faith–Excellence (Islam–Iman–Ihsan), morality, as well as the inclusion of social sciences and natural sciences. This study affirms that a curriculum grounded in revealed values is capable of shaping individuals who possess Islamic character, noble morality, and comprehensive intellectual abilities. Therefore, the Islamic education curriculum must be designed systematically to remain responsive to contemporary developments without departing from the principles of the Sharia.

SUMBER AKIDAH DAN AKHLAK DALAM PERSPEKTIF TURATS DAN EPISTEMOLOGI KONTEMPORER: STUDI KEPUSTAKAAN PENDIDIKAN ISLAM
Aqidah and akhlak education plays a fundamental role in shaping students’ character within Islamic education. However, the development of contemporary epistemology poses significant challenges in understanding the sources of aqidah and akhlak amid modern educational contexts. This study aims to analyze the sources of aqidah and akhlak from the perspective of Islamic turath and to examine their relevance to contemporary epistemology in Islamic education. This research adopts a qualitative approach using a literature review method, drawing on classical and contemporary Islamic scholarship as well as relevant academic journal articles. The findings indicate that, from the turath perspective, the sources of aqidah and akhlak are primarily derived from the Qur’an and Hadith, which have been systematically interpreted through Islamic scholarly traditions. Meanwhile, contemporary epistemology contributes methodological approaches that emphasize rationality, reflection, and contextual learning. Nevertheless, contemporary epistemology cannot function as an independent source of values; it must be critically integrated with Islamic teachings. The integration of turath and contemporary epistemology in aqidah and akhlak education enables the development of adaptive learning practices while preserving Islamic moral foundations. This study contributes theoretically to the discourse on epistemology in Islamic education.

NILAI-NILAI DASAR AQIDAH AKHLAK DIMENSI RABBANI, PERSONAL, SOSIAL, DAN GLOBAL
Aqidah and akhlaq are two main pillars in the formation of a complete, balanced Muslim personality in accordance with Islamic teachings. Aqidah serves as the foundation of belief, while akhlaq represents the manifestation of that belief, forming an inseparable unity. This article aims to examine the fundamental values of aqidah akhlaq across four dimensions: rabbani (divine), personal, social, and global. This study employs a qualitative library research method, with primary data sources consisting of the Qur’an, the hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and the book Minhājul Muslim, as well as secondary data derived from tafsir (Qur’anic exegesis), hadith commentaries, and related academic literature. The data are analyzed using a descriptive-interpretative approach to interpret and classify the values of aqidah akhlaq into the four dimensions. The findings indicate that understanding and implementing rabbani, personal, social, and global values are essential in shaping Muslim character that is faithful, morally upright, and socially as well as globally responsible. This study provides a conceptual contribution to the development of aqidah akhlaq education in both individual and societal contexts.

ISU KONTEMPORER AQIDAH AKHLAK: ETIKA DIGITAL, HEDONISME, DAN MORALITAS GENERASI Z DALAM PERSPEKTIF PENDIDIKAN ISLAM
The development of digital technology and cultural globalization have brought fundamental changes to the mindset, behavior, and value systems of young Muslims, particularly Generation Z. These changes have given rise to various contemporary issues in the areas of faith and morality, including weak digital ethics, the strengthening of a culture of hedonism, and moral degradation. This article aims to analyze in-depth contemporary issues of faith and morality related to digital ethics, hedonism, and the morality of Generation Z, and to formulate Islamic educational solutions relevant to the current context. This research uses a qualitative method with a library research approach through analysis of classic and contemporary books, scientific journals, and relevant documents in the fields of faith and morality and Islamic education. The results indicate that weak internalization of faith and moral values is a major factor in the emergence of moral deviations in the digital era. Therefore, strengthening monotheism, cultivating noble morals, Islamic digital ethics education, and synergy between families, schools, and communities are strategic solutions in shaping the character of Generation Z to be faithful, moral, and wise in utilizing technology.The abstracts submitted to As-Sulthan Journal Of Education should be clear, concise, and descriptive, using English and Indonesian, which consists of 150-200 words. The abstract contains the scope of the study, objectives, methods, research results, and conclusions. This section is separate from articles, using single space, Book Antiqua 10, single space.

REKONSTRUKSI KONSEPTUAL EVALUASI PEMBELAJARAN AQIDAH AKHLAK BERBASIS RANAH KOGNITIF, AFEKTIF, DAN PSIKOMOTORIK
Aqidah Akhlak learning plays a strategic role in shaping students’ faith and moral character in an integrated manner. However, evaluation practices in Aqidah Akhlak learning have predominantly emphasized the cognitive domain, while the affective and psychomotor domains have not been assessed proportionally. This article aims to conceptually reconstruct the evaluation of Aqidah Akhlak learning based on the integration of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. This study employed a qualitative approach through a library research method by examining relevant scholarly literature, including books and peer-reviewed journal articles on learning evaluation and Islamic education. The findings indicate that the evaluation of Aqidah Akhlak learning should be designed comprehensively by assessing students’ understanding of aqidah concepts (cognitive), the internalization of religious values and attitudes (affective), and the practical manifestation of moral behavior in daily life (psychomotor). This conceptual reconstruction emphasizes that the success of Aqidah Akhlak learning should not be measured solely by knowledge acquisition but also by the formation of students’ attitudes and behaviors that reflect Islamic values. Therefore, holistic evaluation serves as a fundamental foundation for achieving the overarching objectives of Aqidah Akhlak education.

LANDASAN TEOLOGIS DAN FILOSOFIS AQIDAH AKHLAK DALAM PERSPEKTIF AL-QUR’AN, SUNNAH, AKAL, DAN REALITAS SOSIAL
This article examines the theological and philosophical foundations of aqidah and akhlaq within the perspective of Islamic education through the integration of four fundamental elements: the Qur’an, the Sunnah, reason, and social reality. Aqidah is positioned as a transcendental foundation of faith, while akhlaq is understood as the ethical manifestation of belief in both personal and social life. This study employs a qualitative approach using a library research method. The findings indicate that the Qur’an functions as the primary theological source, the Prophet’s Sunnah serves as a practical exemplar, reason operates as a philosophical instrument of reflection, and social reality provides the arena for the actualization of aqidah and akhlaq values. The integration of these four elements underscores the relevance of aqidah and akhlaq in addressing contemporary moral challenges and contributes to the development of a holistic and contextual Islamic education.

INTERNALISASI AKIDAH ISLAM DALAM PEMBENTUKAN KARAKTER MUSLIM KONTEMPORE
This study examines the internalization of Islamic creed (aqidah) values in shaping the character of contemporary Muslims. Aqidah serves as the fundamental foundation that directs Muslims’ beliefs, attitudes, and moral behavior. This article aims to analyze how the core values of Islamic creed—particularly tauhid, iman, kufr, and nifaq—are internalized and function as moral guidance in the context of modern life. This research employs a qualitative library research method by analyzing classical and contemporary Islamic literature, the Qur’an, and prophetic traditions (hadith). The findings reveal that the internalization of aqidah values strengthens spiritual awareness, moral integrity, and consistency between belief and action among Muslims. Moreover, a proper understanding of aqidah plays a strategic role in protecting individuals from moral degradation and ideological challenges emerging in the modern era. Therefore, strengthening the internalization of Islamic creed values is essential to develop Muslim character that is faithful, ethical, and resilient in facing contemporary social challenges.

MIGRASI BRANDING TRANSFORMASI IDENTITAS LEMBAGA PENDIDIKAN DARI "ACADEMIC-ORIENTED" KE "CAREER-READY" DI ERA DISRUPSI
This study aims to analyze the branding migration strategies of educational institutions in transforming their identity from an academic-oriented focus to career-ready readiness as an integrative solution to face labor market disruptions. Using a qualitative approach with an exploratory case study design, this research designates SMKN 1 Tegalsari as the material object through data collection techniques such as systematic observation, documentation, and in-depth interviews with key informants selected purposively, including school management, teachers, and students. The results of the study indicate that branding migration is carried out through three fundamental strategies: an epistemological shift that positions hard skills as the main branding currency, the implementation of micro-influencing strategies through students’ digital portfolios to build an organic narrative, and the utilization of the Teaching Factory ecosystem as evidence of authentic service reality. Theoretically, this study contributes to strengthening the literature on User-Generated Content and Experiential Marketing in the education sector, while practically providing strategic guidance for vocational institution managers in repositioning their identity to enhance brand equity and public trust amid global economic uncertainty.

FUNGSI JIWA CAMPURAN: BERBAGAI BENTUK GEJALA JIWA MANUSIA DAN APLIKASINYA DALAM DUNIA PENDIDIKAN
This study aims to examine the relationship between the symptoms of a mixed soul, namely the integration of the functions of reason ('aql), heart (qalb), and desire (nafs), and the formation of student character within the framework of Islamic Educational Psychology. The study was conducted using a qualitative-descriptive approach through library research, examining Islamic literature, contemporary educational psychology, and character education in Islamic educational institutions. The findings indicate that when these elements of the soul are out of balance, for example, when reason fails to control desires, or the heart fails to act as a moral guide, symptoms of a mixed soul emerge, including unstable motivation, inner conflict, and immature character behavior. Conversely, Islamic religious education, which consciously instills spiritual, emotional, and moral values, and effectively integrates the functions of reason, heart, and desire, contributes positively to the strengthening of student character. As psychological beings, humans possess complex and interacting mental functions. In psychological studies, mental functions generally encompass cognitive, affective, and conative aspects. These three functions do not operate in isolation but often appear in a mixed form, influencing an individual's behavior, emotions, and learning process. This article aims to examine the concept of mixed mental functions, the various forms of human mental symptoms that arise from the interaction of these functions, and their application in education. The method used is a literature review of psychological and educational theories. The results of this study indicate that understanding mixed mental functions is crucial for educators in designing holistic, humanistic learning strategies that are oriented towards the overall development of students.

LANDASAN PSIKOPEDAGOGIS KURIKULUM CINTA DALAM MEMBANGUN PEMBELAJARAN HOLISTIK DI SEKOLAH DASAR
This study aims to examine how a psychopedagogical foundation can support the implementation of the Love Curriculum in realizing holistic learning at the primary school level. The Love Curriculum emphasizes love, empathy, and appreciation for students’ comprehensive development, including cognitive, social, and emotional aspects. This research uses a literature review method, systematically analyzing relevant sources on child developmental psychology, humanistic pedagogy, and holistic learning theory. The findings show that a deep understanding of child development psychology is essential for educators to apply a loving and responsive teaching approach. The Love Curriculum fosters a supportive learning environment that promotes optimal character development and emotional balance. Additionally, it successfully integrates academic and affective elements into a unified holistic learning process. Although this study is conceptual and has not yet been empirically tested, it offers a novel perspective by integrating psychopedagogical principles with the values of love in primary education curriculum development. These findings contribute significantly to curriculum design and enhancing educators’ capacity to provide a more humanistic and comprehensive educational experience.

ANALISIS INSTRUMEN PENILAIAN, PENSKORAN DAN PENENTUAN NILAI
This study aims to analyze the quality of assessment instruments, focusing on scoring and grade determination in the learning process. Assessment instruments are essential components of educational evaluation as they function to measure the achievement of students’ competencies. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, using documentation and literature review as data collection techniques. The analyzed data included assessment instruments, scoring rubrics, and grading procedures used by teachers. The results indicate that the assessment instruments were developed based on learning indicators; however, they did not fully meet the principles of validity and reliability. Weaknesses were found in the clarity of scoring criteria and the consistency of score assignment. In addition, grade determination tended to be administrative and had not been optimally utilized as feedback for learning improvement. Therefore, a systematic analysis of assessment instruments is necessary to enhance objectivity, fairness, and accuracy in assessment results. This study is expected to contribute to improving the quality of educational assessment practices.

TUJUAN PENDIDIKAN PERSPEKTIF Al-QUR’AN DAN AL-HADIST
This study explores the goals of education from the perspective of the Qur’an and Hadith, emphasizing the theological foundations, value concepts, and their relevance to the needs of Islamic education in the modern era. The research highlights that education in Islam is not merely focused on the acquisition of knowledge but also on character formation, intellectual development, and the strengthening of faith and piety toward Allah SWT. The Qur’an, through verses such as Al-‘Alaq: 1–5 and Adz-Dzariyat: 56, provides a philosophical framework that views education as an integral process combining spirituality and rationality. Meanwhile, the Hadith reinforces that knowledge must lead to humility and goodness that benefits humanity. The findings indicate that the objectives of Islamic education encompass four core aspects: aqidah (faith), ibadah (worship), akhlak (morality), and muamalah (social relations). These four dimensions serve as the foundation for forming Islamic character capable of adapting to global challenges without losing spiritual values. Therefore, Islamic education remains relevant and essential in building a civilized society in the midst of the digital era’s dynamics.

AN ANALYSIS OF IRMAN GUSMAN'S THOUGHTS ON THE DECENTRALIZATION OF EDUCATIONAL REGULATION: REALIZING REGIONAL INDEPENDENCE IN THE NATIONAL EDUCATION SYSTEM
Decentralization of education regulations is a strategic policy within Indonesia's national education system, aiming to grant greater authority to regions to manage education according to local needs and characteristics. Irman Gusman's thinking emphasizes the importance of regional independence as a prerequisite for achieving equity and improving the quality of national education. However, in practice, educational decentralization still faces various problems, such as imbalances in regional capacity, overlapping regulations, and weak coordination between the central and regional governments. This study aims to examine Irman Gusman's thinking on decentralization of education regulations and their relevance in realizing regional independence within the national education system. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, literature studies, and analysis of education policy documents. The results show that Irman Gusman's thinking emphasizes decentralization as an effort to strengthen the role of regions in formulating education policies, increasing community participation, and optimizing local potential. He believes that decentralization of education regulations must be accompanied by strengthening regional institutional capacity and proportional oversight from the central government. The conclusion of this study states that Irman Gusman's thinking is relevant in the context of national education development, particularly in promoting regional independence, provided it is supported by clear regulations, adequate human resources, and synergy between stakeholders.

EFEKTIVITAS LABORATORIUM BAHASA DALAM MENINGKATKAN KETERAMPILAN MENYIMAK (MAHARAH ISTIMA') SISWA MADRASAH ALIYAH
This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using a language laboratory to improve Arabic listening skills (Maharah Istima') among students. The conventional teaching of listening skills often faces challenges due to the lack of engaging media, resulting in suboptimal student comprehension. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design involving a pre-test and post-test control group. The research was conducted at Ma'had Darul Lughah wad Da'wah, Pasuruan, with a sample of 40 first-grade Aliyah students divided into an experimental group and a control group. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and tests, and then analyzed using the t-test formula. The findings revealed a significant difference between the two groups. The experimental group achieved a mean post-test score of 72 (categorized as Good), while the control group scored 59 (categorized as Poor). The t-test analysis showed that the t-count (5.37) was higher than the t-table (2.09) at a 5% significance level. Therefore, it is concluded that the use of a language laboratory is effective and significantly improves students' Arabic listening skills compared to conventional methods.

IMPLEMENTASI PENDIDIKAN AL-ISLAM DAN KEMUHAMMADIYAHAN (AIK) DALAM PEMBINAAN KARAKTER MAHASISWA DI PERGURUAN TINGGI MUHAMMADIYAH
This study examines the implementation of the Al-Islam and Kemuhammadiyahan (AIK) curriculum in fostering student character at Institut Ahmad Dahlan Probolinggo. Character education is a central objective of Muhammadiyah and ‘Aisyiyah Higher Education Institutions (PTMA), where character formation has been embedded as a core educational mission since their establishment. Within the PTMA framework, character education is institutionally realized through Al-Islam and Kemuhammadiyahan (AIK) education. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis, and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion-drawing techniques. The findings indicate that Institut Ahmad Dahlan Probolinggo has systematically developed and implemented character education through the AIK curriculum, encompassing institutional policies, curriculum structure, and organizational governance. The implementation of the AIK curriculum has contributed positively to student character development. However, it has not yet fully achieved the expected outcomes. Several aspects require improvement, particularly in strengthening learning materials and instructional methods that remain predominantly cognitive, limiting the internalization of character values in affective and behavioral domains. Despite these limitations, the managerial implementation of the AIK curriculum has been well structured and consistently applied.

MEMBANGUN KULTUR MADRASAH POSITIF MELALUI PRAKTIK KEPEMIMPINAN SERVANT LOVE
This study aims to analyze the mechanisms and processes of positive culture construction through the practice of "Servant Love" leadership in a madrasah environment. This objective is motivated by the need to unpack the "black box" of social processes linking leadership actions to sustainable cultural change, which has so far remained understudied. The study used a qualitative approach with an intrinsic case study design in one madrasah led by a figure who implements the Servant Love principle. Data were collected through triangulation of passive participant observation techniques, in-depth semi-structured interviews with the madrasah principal, teachers, staff, and students, and analysis of related documents. Data were analyzed interactively and thematically. The results revealed three key mechanisms (1) Operationalization of Servant Love as a "Present-Serving Leader" through physical and emotional presence that builds trust; (2) Transformation of decision-making into a collective learning and empowerment ritual that fosters a sense of agency and we-ness; and (3) Reframing conflict as a momentum for "relationship building" that builds organizational resilience and solidarity. These findings provide a process map showing how micro-practices of love and service-based leadership actually shape the norms, values, and interaction patterns that build a positive madrasah culture.

REKONSTRUKSI PEMIKIRAN PENDIDIKAN ISLAM DI ERA DIGITAL: INTEGRASI NILAI SPIRITUAL DAN LITERASI TEKNOLOGI
This paper discusses Abuddin Nata’s thoughts on Islamic education in response to the rapid development of the digital era. The study aims to analyze how Islamic educational concepts can adapt to technological advancement while maintaining spiritual and moral values. This research employs a library research method by examining Abuddin Nata’s works and relevant literature related to Islamic education and digitalization. The results indicate that digitalization offers significant opportunities for Islamic education, including broader access to learning resources, increased effectiveness of teaching methods, and the development of innovative learning media. However, digital transformation also presents challenges, particularly the risk of declining moral values, ethical awareness, and spiritual orientation among learners if technology is used without proper guidance. Abuddin Nata emphasizes that Islamic education should prioritize character building and the internalization of Islamic values alongside the development of digital competencies. Therefore, the integration of spiritual values and digital literacy is essential to ensure that Islamic education remains relevant, balanced, and capable of producing individuals who are intellectually competent, technologically adaptive, and morally responsible in the digital era.

THE DYNAMICS OF THE RECEPTION OF SURAH AL-MULK: AN ANALYSIS OF TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFORMATION IN ISLAMIC LITERATURE
This research explores the reception, transmission, and transformation of surah al-Mulk in Islamic literature, from hadiths, tafsir, amaliyat, and contemporary works. This study uses the qualitative literature study method, with the application of Hans Robert's theory of Horizon of Expectations and Wolfgang Iser's theory of reception, to analyze the reader's interaction with the text. The findings of this study show that surah al-Mulk is not only seen as a rigid text, but a text that lives with various benefits, both spiritually and materially. The process of transmission occurs through three main patterns: literary quotations, sanad, and discursive traditions that adjust to the dynamics of society. This research shows that the reception of surah al-Mulk has evolved from informative to performative, where the meaning of al-Mulk will be reconstructed based on the spiritual and material needs of readers from various cross-generations.

PERBANDINGAN E-GOVERNMENT DI NEGARA INDONESIA DAN AUSTRALIA
This study compares e-government implementation between Indonesia and Australia to identify factors influencing the success of digital transformation in both countries. Using a qualitative approach with a comparative study method, this study analyzes the differences and similarities between the two countries' e-government systems through the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) Framework. Data were collected through documentary studies of e-government policies, regulations, and evaluation reports, in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, and direct observation of government digital platforms such as SPBE Indonesia and myGov Australia. The results indicate that Australia has a more mature and integrated e-government system, with service penetration reaching 90% of the population, supported by a robust digital infrastructure, highly competent human resources, and a solid governance structure through the Digital Transformation Agency. In contrast, Indonesia still faces various challenges such as a digital infrastructure gap between urban and rural areas, fragmented systems that are not yet optimally integrated, weak coordination between agencies, and diverse digital literacy levels. Nevertheless, Indonesia has shown significant progress through innovative approaches such as the development of mobile-first applications and partnerships with the local private sector that are adaptive to local contexts and limitations. This study recommends that Indonesia gradually accelerate digital infrastructure development, increase the capacity of civil servants through ongoing training programs, strengthen governance structures with clearer authority, and adopt a user-centric design approach in developing government digital services. The research findings contribute to the e-government literature by demonstrating that contextual factors such as socio-economic conditions, geographic characteristics, and institutional capacity play a crucial role in determining e-government implementation strategies and outcomes. Therefore, best practices cannot be directly transferred without substantive adaptation to local contexts.

PERBANDINGAN MANAJEMEN ASN DINEGARA KOREA SELATAN DAN NEGARA INDONESIA
Demands for improved quality of public services that are fast, responsive, and accountable are growing stronger with the development of the digital transformation era. In this context, the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) management system plays a strategic role as the main foundation of bureaucratic reform. South Korea is often cited as a benchmark for successful public administration reform due to its ability to build an efficient, performance-based ASN management system integrated with the use of technology. Conversely, although Indonesia has a strong regulatory framework through Law Number 5 of 2014 concerning ASN, the implementation of this policy still faces various challenges, particularly related to the application of meritocratic principles, objectivity in performance assessments, and consistency in ASN career development. This study aims to comparatively analyze the ASN management systems in South Korea and Indonesia by examining aspects of recruitment, career development, performance assessments, reward systems, and the influence of cultural and political factors on their implementation. The research approach used is a qualitative comparative study through literature analysis of relevant regulations, policy reports, and previous research findings. The study's findings indicate that the success of the South Korean civil servant management system is determined not only by performance-based policy design, but also by consistent implementation, an organizational culture that supports professionalism, and strict oversight mechanisms. Meanwhile, Indonesia still faces a gap between normative policies and field practices. This research is expected to provide theoretical and practical contributions to the development of civil servant management policies in Indonesia by identifying practices that can, in principle, be contextually adapted from South Korea. The findings are expected to serve as a reference in accelerating the realization of a professional, high-integrity, high-performance, and service-oriented Indonesian bureaucracy.

PERBANDINGAN REFORMASI MANAJEMEN PUBLIK INDONESIA DAN PRANCIS
This study examines public management reform in Indonesia and France using a comparative approach. The main focus of the study is to examine how the two countries responded to demands for improved public service quality, bureaucratic efficiency, and government digitalization within different socio-political contexts. Indonesia implemented bureaucratic reform after the 1998 Reformation as part of its democratization and governance reform process. Various initiatives, such as the implementation of a merit system, service digitalization, and performance evaluation, showed progress, but still faced structural and cultural obstacles. In contrast, France implemented reform through a more gradual and structured administrative modernization with a strong institutional foundation. The reforms in that country emphasized internal efficiency, policy consistency, and the strengthening of technology-based public services, despite also facing resistance from established institutions and labor unions. The comparative results demonstrate that public management reform cannot be separated from the national context. A successful reform model in one country cannot necessarily be applied in another without adjustments. Therefore, cross-national policy learning needs to consider administrative culture, institutional capacity, and the surrounding political conditions. This research is expected to enrich the literature on bureaucratic reform and provide a comprehensive overview for policymakers to design more adaptive and effective reforms.

PERBANDINGAN SISTEM ADMINISTRASI PUBLIK DALAM PENGELOLAAN EKSPOR DAN IMPOR ANTARA INDONESIA DAN CINA
This study compares public administration systems in managing exports and imports between Indonesia and China as a key factor supporting international trade. Using a qualitative, descriptive-comparative approach through literature review, the study analyzes institutional structures, administrative procedures, and government roles in both countries. The results indicate that Indonesia implements an administrative system involving multiple institutions, integrated through digitalization, such as the Indonesia National Single Window (INSW), while China uses a more centralized system with strong authority in one central institution. These differences impact efficiency, policy consistency, and ease of service for businesses. The study concludes that institutional structure and inter-institutional coordination significantly determine the effectiveness of export-import administration. These findings can serve as a reference for Indonesia in improving its international trade competitiveness.

ANALISIS SISTEMATIS TERHADAP MODEL ADMINISTRASI PEMBANGUNAN DI INDIA DAN INDONESIA
Development administration plays a crucial role in determining the success of national development, particularly in addressing the challenges of inequality, the effectiveness of public services, and governance. India and Indonesia, as developing countries with large populations, have distinct government systems and therefore implement different development administration models. This study aims to systematically analyze and compare the development administration models implemented in India and Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative approach with a comparative descriptive method. Data were obtained through a literature review sourced from scientific journals, policy documents, and official government publications. The analysis was conducted by describing each country's development administration model and then comparing their institutional structures, division of authority, and development implementation mechanisms. The results show that India tends to implement a centrally coordinated development administration model within a federal framework, with flexibility in implementation at the state level. Meanwhile, Indonesia has developed a decentralized development administration model with broad authority for local governments. These differences affect the effectiveness of coordination, institutional capacity, and the equitable distribution of development outcomes. This study concludes that no single development administration model is entirely ideal, as its success is strongly influenced by the institutional context and government capacity. These findings are expected to provide conceptual contributions to the development of development administration studies and serve as a basis for consideration in formulating development policies in developing countries.

MUHAMMADIYAH’S WASATIYAH IN PREVENTING EXTREMISM TROUGH STRENGTHENING ISLAMIC MODERATION, EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY-BASED LEADERSHIP
This article examines the implementation of Muhammadiyah’s Wasatiyah as a preventive strategy in countering extremism through the strengthening of Islamic moderation, inclusive education, and community-based da‘wah and leadership. Employing a qualitative approach through library research, the study synthesizes classical and contemporary literature to understand wasatiyah as both a normative framework and a practical guide in religious and social life. The findings indicate that wasatiyah is understood as a principle of the middle path that emphasizes justice, balance, and tolerance, while rejecting all forms of ideological and practical extremism. Within the Muhammadiyah context, wasatiyah is institutionalized through the ideological foundations of tajdid, purification, and the orientation of Progressive Islam (Islam Berkemajuan), which are integratively implemented across education, da‘wah, and institutional policies. Muhammadiyah education serves as a strategic arena for internalizing values of moderation through inclusive curricula, character development, and dialogical learning environments. Meanwhile, community-based da‘wah and participatory leadership strengthen social empowerment and community resilience against extremist influences. This study affirms that Muhammadiyah’s Wasatiyah represents a coherent and adaptive model of religious praxis oriented toward social welfare and the sustainability of peace in plural societies.

ENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS IN THE THOUGHT OF SAID NURSI: RELEVANCE TO THE ECOLOGICAL CRISIS IN SOUTH KALIMANTAN
The climate crisis in South Kalimantan represents not only an ecological breakdown but also a profound spiritual crisis caused by the loss of tawhidic consciousness in modern humanity. This study explores the relevance of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi’s thought to Islamic environmental ethics in the context of South Kalimantan’s ecological crisis. Using a theological-ecological approach through content analysis of Risale-i Nur and empirical data from BMKG, WALHI, and the Provincial Environmental Agency (DLH), this research demonstrates that Nursi’s ideas provide a conceptual foundation for an eco-spiritual ethics paradigm grounded in ecological tawhid, the trust of khalifah, and ukhuwah makhlukiyah (universal kinship of beings). From a Sufi perspective, nature is viewed as the Book of God (kitâbullâh), reflecting the Divine Names and functioning as a cosmic dhikr of creation. Hence, ecological degradation is understood as a manifestation of humanity’s spiritual failure to maintain divine balance. By integrating Sufi spirituality with Banjar local wisdom, this article expands the horizon of Islamic ecotheology from its Middle Eastern center toward a transformative and sustainable tropical Southeast Asian perspective.

TAREKAT KHALWATIYAH DI MESIR DAN BANJA; DIALEKTIKA SPIRITUALITAS DAN TRANSFORMASI SOSIAL DALAM ARUS MODERNITAS
This article examines the dialectic between spirituality and social transformation in the practice of the Khalwatiyah Order in two different cultural contexts beetwen Egypt and Banjar (South Kalimantan). By combining a social Sufism approach and social transformation theory, this study shows how the order acts as a spiritual and social force that is adaptive to the currents of modernity. In Egypt, the Khalwatiyah Order grew within the framework of urban Sufism integrated with the Al-Azhar scientific institution, demonstrating the order's ability to respond to modernity by emphasizing Qur'anic rationality and morality. Meanwhile, in Banjar, the teachings of Khalwatiyah are manifested through the Sammaniyah Order, which is deeply rooted in local traditions and the charismatic authority of the ulama, particularly through the figure of K.H. Muhammad Zaini Ghani (Guru Sekumpul). This study finds that both contexts show different patterns of spiritual adaptation but both affirm the role of the order as an agent of social transformation and a bridge for Islamic transnationalism. Thus, the order functions not only as a space for spiritual guidance but also as an arena for the negotiation of values, identity, and cultural resistance to the challenges of global modernity.

KURIKULUM PAI DI PESANTREN SALAF: OBSERVASI LAPANGAN DI PONDOK PESANTREN RIYADLUL ULUM TEMPURSARI
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis implementasi kurikulum Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) di Pesantren Salaf berdasarkan hasil observasi lapangan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode observasi dan wawancara yang dilakukan di Pondok Pesantren Riyadlul Ulum Tempursari, Desa Panaragan, Kecamatan Cikoneng, Kabupaten Ciamis. Fokus kajian meliputi desain pengembangan kurikulum, pendekatan pengembangan kurikulum, tujuan PAI, isi atau materi pembelajaran, proses belajar mengajar, serta evaluasi kurikulum PAI. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kurikulum PAI di Pesantren Salaf tidak disusun dalam bentuk dokumen tertulis, melainkan berkembang secara tradisional melalui alur pengajian kitab kuning yang diwariskan secara turun-temurun dan berada di bawah otoritas pengasuh pesantren. Pendekatan pengembangan kurikulum bersifat tradisional-transmisi yang menekankan tafaqquh fi al-din, namun tetap adaptif terhadap kebutuhan sosial santri. Tujuan PAI diarahkan pada pembentukan keimanan, ketakwaan, dan akhlak mulia santri secara holistik. Materi PAI berfokus pada ilmu-ilmu keislaman klasik yang bersumber dari kitab turats, sementara proses pembelajaran dilakukan melalui metode bandongan, sorogan, dan halaqah yang dipadukan dengan pembiasaan dan keteladanan. Evaluasi kurikulum dilaksanakan secara kualitatif dan berkelanjutan dengan menekankan pemahaman kitab dan pengamalan nilai-nilai Islam dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa kurikulum PAI di Pesantren Salaf memiliki karakteristik khas yang berorientasi pada pembentukan kepribadian Islami dan kesalehan sosial santri.

PENDAYAGUNAAN ZAKAT DI BIDANG PENDIDIKAN STUDI KASUS PADA LEMBAGA MANAJEMEN INFAQ (LMI) SUMSEL
One important aspect of a country's development is education. Education plays a very important role, even becoming the main foundation for the progress and welfare of society. However, in the effort to create equitable and quality education, there are still many obstacles, namely the cost of education. The government has prepared a budget of 20% of total state expenditure. However, this amount is still insufficient to meet existing needs. Therefore, an alternative innovation is needed to overcome this problem. One alternative that can be used is zakat funds. This study aims to determine the zakat utilization program in the field of education at LMI South Sumatra. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive qualitative orientation. This approach was chosen because this study leads to a detailed and in-depth description of the actual conditions in the field. Based on the results of the study, it was found that LMI South Sumatra has several zakat utilization programs. First, the Inspirational Generation Scholarship, which is intended to provide educational assistance to final year students. Second, assistance for Quran teachers, which is provided to Quran teachers in the form of financial assistance to help meet their basic needs and support the continuity of their Quran teaching activities.

REDESAIN STRATEGI PEMBELAJARAN PAI TINGKAT SMA: INTEGRASI ISU KONTEMPORER DAN ADAPTASI MEDIA DIGITAL (STUDI KASUS DI SMA IT ANNISA KADUNGORA)
This study aims to analyze the development of adaptive learning strategies for Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at SMA IT Annisa Kadungora, Garut. High school PAI faces challenges due to gaps in students' religious understanding driven by diverse educational and family backgrounds. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were gathered through interviews and questionnaires with educational practitioners. The results reveal that effective strategies integrate digital ethics as a core contemporary issue, implement Problem-Based Learning (PBL) to stimulate critical thinking, and utilize TikTok as a creative da'wah reference. Furthermore, a communicative approach using non-formal language creates a "safe space" for students in their identity-seeking phase. These findings suggest that pedagogical adaptation and digital integration are essential for maintaining the relevance of religious education in the Gen-Z era.

PENINGKATAN PEMAHAMAN MASYARAKAT TENTANG PENYELENGGARAAN JENAZAH SESUAI SYARIAT ISLAM
The management of a corpse is a collective obligation (fardhu kifayah) in Islam that must be performed in accordance with Islamic law. However, in practice, public understanding of proper corpse management remains limited and is often based on inherited traditions rather than religious guidelines. This condition may lead to improper practices in its implementation. This study aims to examine the level of community understanding regarding corpse management and to analyze efforts to improve such understanding through religious education programs. This research employed a qualitative approach using a descriptive method. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects consisted of community members and local religious leaders. The findings indicate that the educational program significantly improved community understanding. Improvements were observed in knowledge, attitudes, and practical skills. The community demonstrated better understanding of bathing, shrouding, funeral prayer, and burial procedures in accordance with Islamic law.
