Negotiating Gender and Work: Career Women in Indonesian Islamic Discourse
The transition of women from the domestic to the public sphere through their roles as professionals remains a debated issue in Indonesian society. This phenomenon represents a form of self-actualization and personal development, which has elicited diverse responses within Indonesian Islamic discourse. This study aims to examine Islamic perspectives on women’s careers in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative, descriptive-analytical approach through library research, this study reviews relevant literature to explore the issue. The findings indicate that the presence of women in professional sectors in Indonesia is increasingly recognized, with opportunities for career development becoming more accessible and equitable for both women and men. This trend is supported by Islamic frameworks such as Islam Nusantara and Islam Berkemajuan, which endorse women’s participation in the public sphere. Nevertheless, women continue to face obstacles in their career advancement, particularly due to the persistence of patriarchal structures and male dominance in society. In this context, the women’s wings of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah are expected to play a transformative role in promoting wider acceptance of women’s professional engagement and in challenging entrenched patriarchal norms.

Revitalization of Medieval Islamic Education: A Study of the Educational Model of the Sholahuddin al-Ayyubi Era
This study explores the educational framework and institutional dynamics that flourished during the reign of Salahuddin al-Ayyubi (Saladin), a pivotal figure in medieval Islamic history known not only for his military leadership but also for his profound contributions to the intellectual and moral revitalization of the Muslim world. Focusing on the late 12th century, this paper examines how Salahuddin strategically promoted education as a means to unify the ummah, counter sectarian divisions, and resist external threats such as the Crusades. Through an analysis of historical texts, madrasa endowments (waqf records), and scholarly biographies from the Ayyubid period, the research highlights the integration of ethics, theology, jurisprudence, and science within the educational curriculum. It emphasizes the role of state-sponsored madrasas—such as the Madrasa al-Sahiriya—in fostering a holistic model of learning grounded in both spiritual development and rational inquiry. The findings reveal that Salahuddin’s educational reforms were instrumental in re-establishing Sunni orthodoxy, reinforcing communal identity, and producing scholars who were not only learned but also socially and politically engaged. This paper argues that the pedagogical principles of his era offer valuable insights for contemporary Islamic education, particularly in addressing issues of extremism, fragmentation, and the disconnection between faith and reason. In conclusion, the study proposes that the educational model of the Salahuddin al-Ayyubi era serves as a compelling paradigm for the modern revitalization of Islamic learning, advocating for a return to integrated, purpose-driven education rooted in ethical integrity and intellectual rigor
Pengembangan E-Book Kepemimpinan Madrasah Berbasis Budaya Pesantren untuk Meningkatkan Literasi Digital Kepala Sekolah
The low level of digital literacy among school principals and teachers in Indonesia, particularly within pesantren-based educational institutions, has limited the utilization of digital media to strengthen educational leadership grounded in religious moderation values. This condition necessitates the development of learning media that integrate digital transformation with Islamic value-based leadership. This study aims to develop a pesantren-based leadership e-book as a medium to enhance digital literacy while simultaneously internalizing religious moderation values. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, which consists of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The results indicate that the developed e-book achieved a material feasibility of 90.1%, media feasibility of 89.2%, and practitioner feasibility of 91.5%, with an overall feasibility score of 90.26%, categorized as highly feasible. Empirical testing of the validation instruments also produced significant Aiken’s V values and Pearson correlations. These findings confirm that the pesantren-based e-book is effective in improving digital leadership competencies while embedding religious moderation values. This study provides a practical contribution by offering contextual digital learning media for madrasah and Islamic educational institutions, and a theoretical contribution to the integration of value-based leadership with digital transformation in contemporary Islamic education
Strengthening Religious Moderation to Counter Radicalism among Islamic Education Teachers In Surabaya Schools
This article aims to describe the strengthening of religious moderation as a strategy to counter religious radicalism among Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in schools across Surabaya. The threat of religious radicalism in Indonesia continues to pose a serious risk to society across all professional sectors, including Islamic Religious Education teachers. This study adopts a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, with data collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, document analysis, and focused group discussions involving 20 informants. The research explores the dynamics of radicalism and religious moderation among PAI teachers in schools throughout Surabaya. The findings indicate that prior to the intervention aimed at strengthening religious moderation, the cognitive tendency toward radicalism among PAI teachers was categorized as high (83%), while their tendency toward religious moderation was also high (85%). Following a mentoring process in the form of religious moderation training, the tendency toward radicalism decreased to a low level (55%), while the tendency toward religious moderation significantly increased to a very high level (97%). These results highlight the crucial role of continuous mentoring and training programs in enhancing religious moderation among PAI teachers and the wider community. Such efforts are essential to cultivating a moderate understanding and attitude toward religion and rejecting religious radicalism. Given their strategic position, PAI teachers are key actors in delivering religious education to students

Analisis Kemampuan Literasi Numerasi Siswa Melalui Soal Model PISA Berbasis Konteks Keislaman di Sekolah Dasar Muhammadiyah 15 Surakarta
The low ability of students to understand questions in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) model, as reflected in the results of the previous Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM), has become a serious concern in Indonesian education. Many students struggle to solve literacy and numeracy questions based on real-life contexts that require higher-order thinking skills. This indicates a gap between classroom learning processes and the demands of competency assessments that emphasize analytical, reflective, and applied skills. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method. The instruments used in this research include tests, interviews, and observations. The results of the study show that 50% of students had difficulty answering questions in diagram form, while 83.3% had difficulty with comparison-based questions. Low-level questions could be solved with an 80% success rate, but the success rate dropped to 55% for medium-level questions and only 10% for high-level questions requiring critical thinking and mathematical modeling skills. Common errors made by students include misunderstanding the question (40%), simple calculation errors (30%), and difficulty in constructing mathematical models (10%). These findings indicate the need for problem-based learning and the use of context to enhance students' critical and creative thinking skills. Additionally.
Transformasi Ilmu Pengetahuan Islam ke Barat: Jejak yang Terlupakan dalam Kurikulum Global dan Krisis Identitas Pendidikan Masa Kini
The dominance of the current global education narrative still carries a Euro-centric paradigm that denies the contribution of Islamic intellectuals in the history of the development of world science. In fact, Muslim scientists in medieval times have played a strategic role in shaping the foundations of modern science in the West. Unfortunately, these traces are systematically erased from the contemporary curriculum, which has lost its spiritual and historical direction. This article examines the transformation of knowledge from the Islamic world to the West and its implications for the identity crisis in modern education. Using a historical-critical and hermeneutical approach, this research reveals how Western epistemology establishes dominance by marginalizing the Islamic scientific tradition. The gap in the study lies in the lack of analysis that links the elimination of Islamic contributions with the epistemological disorientation in today's curriculum. This paper offers a reconceptualization of education based on Islamic values such as tawhid, adab, and the integration of reason-revelation as an alternative to the crisis. As a result, there is an urgency to reconstruct a curriculum that is not only rational, but also spiritually and historically meaningful
Model Pembelajaran Rasulullah berbasis Al-Qur'an: Relevansi Model Pembelajaran Abad 21
The rapid advancement of globalization and technology demands an educational model that not only focuses on knowledge acquisition but also emphasizes 21st-century skills, such as critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity (4C). This study aims to examine the Prophet Muhammad’s instructional model based on the Qur’an and analyze its relevance to 21st-century learning approaches. Using a qualitative descriptive approach with a literature study method, this research draws on primary data from Qur’anic verses and Hadiths, and secondary data from classical books and scholarly articles published between 2015 and 2025. The findings reveal that the Prophet’s instructional practices embodied essential 21st-century competencies: critical thinking through reflection and discussion of revelations, effective communication in preaching, collaboration in social life, and creativity in delivering messages through analogies and inspiring stories. These elements align with modern pedagogical approaches such as Cooperative Learning, Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Project-Based Learning (PjBL), Inquiry, and Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL). This research contributes both theoretically and practically by offering an integrative framework that connects the Prophet’s instructional model with contemporary educational strategies, providing valuable insights for developing Islamic Religious Education (PAI) curricula rooted in values and 21st-century competencies
Interaksi Sosial Pesantren dengan Masyarakat Tionghoa Madura (Studi Kasus Pertautan Pendidikan dan Sosial Demangan-Pecinan di Bangkalan)
The social interaction between Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) and the Chinese community in Bangkalan, Madura, faces challenges stemming from stereotypes, prejudices, and a history of ethnic conflicts such as the 1997 riots. Despite coexisting, cultural and religious differences often create tensions, while the demands of social life compel both groups to adapt. This qualitative study employs a phenomenological approach through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis to examine the emerging patterns of interaction. Findings reveal two primary forms of interaction: harmonious and potentially conflictual. Harmonization is evident in communal cooperation (gotong royong), the use of the Madurese language, and religious tolerance during celebrations like Eid and Imlek. However, lingering prejudices and reserved attitudes continue to hinder deeper integration. Accommodation processes—such as mutual participation in religious festivities—serve as key stabilizers. The study concludes that despite historical grievances and identity differences, social collaboration and cultural dialogue can strengthen coexistence. These insights are relevant for managing diversity in multiethnic communities
Implementasi Kegiatan Membaca Sebelum Belajar dalam Meningkatkan Literasi Keagamaan Islam Siswa
The low level of Islamic religious literacy at the elementary school level poses a challenge in shaping students' religious character from an early age. Many students struggle to fully understand Islamic teachings, both in terms of knowledge and religious practice. To address this issue, effective learning strategies are needed to foster students’ interest and understanding of Islamic values in a sustainable manner. This study aims to examine the implementation of such activities in improving Islamic religious literacy among elementary school students. The research employed a qualitative case study approach with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, presentation, and inductive conclusion drawing. The results show that the reading activity, conducted twice a week, has a positive impact on students’ understanding of religious texts (cognitive aspect), religious attitudes (affective aspect), and fluency in reading Arabic and Latin texts (psychomotor aspect). Moreover, this activity creates a more conducive and spiritual learning environment. Teachers play a vital role as facilitators in guiding students to internalize Islamic values. These findings support the theory of habituation and child development ecology and demonstrate that the reading-before-learning program can serve as an effective model of Islamic literacy-based character education in elementary schools.
Eksplorasi Perspektif Mahasiswa Terhadap Penggunaan Aplikasi Quizizz dalam Membangun Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis
The low level of critical thinking skills among pre-service teacher students has become a crucial issue in higher education, largely due to the continued use of conventional teaching methods and the limited integration of educational technology. Students often remain passive, lack reflection, and are not actively engaged in analytical learning processes. This study aims to explore students’ perspectives on the use of Quizizz as a platform to foster critical thinking skills in the Teaching Profession course at the Institut Agama Islam Sumatera Barat (IAI SUMBAR) in Pariaman. This research employed a qualitative exploratory approach, collecting data through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, and analyzed the findings using thematic analysis. The results show that Quizizz positively contributes to students’ learning motivation, error reflection, and engagement in critical discussions. Its interactive features and gamification elements effectively support the development of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). However, challenges remain in terms of question quality, internet connectivity issues, and lecturers’ readiness to design technology-based learning. The study recommends the strategic integration of Quizizz into the curriculum and training for lecturers in HOTS-oriented question development to enhance the quality of teaching and learning in higher education

Peran Tasawuf Kebangsaan dalam Menumbuhkan Nasionalisme dan Harmoni Sosial (Telaah Atas Pemikiran Tasawuf Kebangsaan KH. Achmad Shiddiq dan Habib Luthfi bin Yahya)
The dichotomy between national identity and religious values often appears to operate separately. However, the integration of spirituality into national life is crucial for sustaining peace, unity, and prosperity. This study examines how the concepts of tasawuf kebangsaan (national Sufism) as advocated by Kyai Achmad Siddiq and Habib Lutfi bin Yahya contribute to developing patriotism through educational paradigms in the face of rapid modernization.

Analisis Khilafah dalam Pandangan Politik Ahl Al Sunnah Wa Al Jama’ah di Indonesia
The concept of the caliphate has been a subject of debate regarding its definition, implementation, and relevance within the political systems of various nations, particularly in Indonesia. This issue often raises concerns that the caliphate threatens political stability and may seek to replace the existing governmental framework. To gain a deeper understanding, this study aims to analyze the concept of the caliphate from the political perspective of Ahl al Sunah wa al Jama’ah, focusing on its definition, historical development, and application. This research employs a library-based methodology, analyzing primary and secondary sources. The findings indicate that Sunni political thought outlines four essential criteria for establishing a caliphate: descent from the Quraysh tribe, allegiance (bai‘ah), the principle of shura (consultation), and justice. Sunni scholars do not prescribe a specific formal structure for a state but emphasize the importance of implementing universal values found in the Qur’an, such as trust (amanah), deliberation, justice, equality, human rights protection, peace, and welfare. The study concludes that while the caliphate system is not feasible for application in Indonesia, Islamic principles can be integrated into the existing governance system without necessitating a change in the state’s structural form

This research is expected to contribute to the development of Islamic educational thought, especially related to the role of Islamic boarding schools in society, nation, and state
Integrasi Metode Hermeneutik dalam Tafsir Tarbawi: Tantangan dan Implikasi dalam Pendekatan Pedagogis al-Qur’an
Tarbawi's interpretation has so far referred to interpretation of the Al-Quran applied with an educational or pedagogical approach. The pedagogical approach in this course makes the Al-Quran the main source of learning, based on verses about education. The interpretation method generally uses thematic interpretation. This article examines the hermeneutic method in understanding the verses of the Koran related to education. The research results show that the use of hermeneutics in Tafsir Tarbawi can be done as long as it pays attention to existing interpretations. The method is to combine it with Islamic exegetical methods such as tafsir bil-ma'tsur (tafsir based on verses of the Koran and hadith) or tafsir bil-ra'yi (tafsir based on rational judgment). However, if Hermenetics is completely separated from existing interpretations, there will be a risk of interpretations that are out of their original context. This is because the application of hermeneutics in tarbawi interpretation can produce a variety of interpretations that can obscure the desired pedagogical goals. Therefore, hermeneutics must be carried out carefully so as not to violate Islamic principles or values. Interpretations that produce meanings that conflict with Islamic teachings will conflict with the objectives of Tafsir Tarbawi.
