ISLAMISASI ADAT MINANGKABAU MELALUI PEMBERDAYAAN LEMBAGA SURAU: SEBUAH STUDI ANALISIS SEJARAH PADA ABAD KE-17
Indonesia is known as the country with the second-largest Muslim majority in the world. Historically, Islam entered Indonesia in the 13th century through trade routes in the Strait of Malacca. The extensive spread certainly creates a diversity of Indonesian Islamic culture, where each region has its distinctive style. The Minangkabau people are a community that adheres to Islamic teachings, where Islam has merged with customs and vice versa. One of the known methods of spreading Islam in Minangkabau is through Surau, which is a traditional Islamic educational institution. The article focuses on the spread of Islam in Minangkabau through Surau, considering the socio-cultural context of that century. It also examines the character of Islam introduced by the central figure, Sheikh Burhanuddin Ulakan, who brought the Sufi teachings of the Syatariyah order. The related questions are how Islam spread in Minangkabau, what conditions of the Minangkabau customary culture allowed for the acceptance of Islamic teachings, and why Minangkabau customary culture not only accepted but also integrated these teachings, transforming old customs into practices based on Sharia. The article employs qualitative analysis with a historical approach, referencing history books, documents, and related articles. The central argument presented is that the Islam applied to Minangkabau customs is not an Islam that erases culture but can synergize with it.Indonesia dikenal sebagai negara dengan mayoritas Muslim terbesar kedua di dunia. Secara historis, Islam masuk ke Indonesia pada abad ke-13 melalui jalur perdagangan di Selat Malaka. Penyebaran yang luas ini tentu saja menciptakan keragaman budaya Islam Indonesia, di mana setiap daerah memiliki coraknya yang khas. Masyarakat Minangkabau merupakan masyarakat yang menganut ajaran Islam, di mana Islam telah menyatu dengan adat istiadat, begitu pula sebaliknya. Salah satu metode penyebaran Islam yang dikenal di Minangkabau adalah melalui Surau, yang merupakan lembaga pendidikan Islam tradisional. Artikel ini berfokus pada penyebaran Islam di Minangkabau melalui Surau, dengan mempertimbangkan konteks sosial budaya pada abad tersebut. Artikel ini juga mengkaji karakter Islam yang diperkenalkan oleh tokoh sentralnya, Syekh Burhanuddin Ulakan, yang membawa ajaran sufi tarekat Syatariyah. Pertanyaan terkait adalah bagaimana Islam menyebar di Minangkabau, bagaimana kondisi budaya adat Minangkabau yang memungkinkan diterimanya ajaran Islam, dan mengapa budaya adat Minangkabau tidak hanya menerima tetapi juga mengintegrasikan ajaran-ajaran tersebut, mengubah adat istiadat lama menjadi praktik-praktik yang berdasarkan Syariat. Artikel ini menggunakan analisis kualitatif dengan pendekatan historis, merujuk pada buku-buku sejarah, dokumen, dan artikel terkait. Argumen utama yang disampaikan adalah bahwa Islam yang diterapkan pada adat Minangkabau bukanlah Islam yang menghapus budaya, melainkan Islam yang dapat bersinergi dengannya

INTERNALISASI NILAI-NILAI MODERASI MELALUI KITAB AT-TAḤLIYYAH (STUDI KASUS DI MADRASAH DINIYAH HM AL-MAHRUSIYAH)
This study explores the process of internalizing the values of religious moderation through the learning of the At-Taḥliyyah book at Madrasah Diniyah HM Al-Mahrusiyah Lirboyo Kediri as part of character formation for moderate-minded students. The increasing trend of exclusivism and intolerance among certain groups forms the background of this research. As traditional Islamic educational institutions, pesantrens play a strategic role in instilling balance and tolerance through cultural and exemplary approaches. This research adopts a qualitative descriptive method with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of the At-Taḥliyyah learning process. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, including reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results reveal that the internalization of moderation values occurs through three main stages: value transformation, value transaction, and value transinternalization. Through these stages, students not only understand moderation cognitively but also apply it in social behavior that reflects tawassuṭh (moderation), i‘tidāl (justice), tasāmuh (tolerance), syūrā (consultation), iṣlāḥ (reform), and muwāṭanah (patriotism). This study concludes that the At-Taḥliyyah book serves as an effective educational medium for strengthening student character in line with national values, humanism, and the Ministry of Religious Affairs’ vision of religious moderation.Penelitian ini menganalisis proses internalisasi nilai-nilai moderasi beragama melalui pembelajaran kitab At-Taḥliyyah di Madrasah Diniyah HM Al-Mahrusiyah Lirboyo Kediri sebagai bagian dari pembentukan karakter bagi santri yang berpikiran moderat. Meningkatnya tren eksklusivisme dan intoleransi di kalangan kelompok tertentu menjadi latar belakang penelitian ini. Sebagai lembaga pendidikan Islam tradisional, pesantren memainkan peran strategis dalam menanamkan keseimbangan dan toleransi melalui pendekatan budaya dan keteladanan.
Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan data yang dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi proses pembelajaran At-Taḥliyyah. Analisis data menggunakan metode Miles dan Huberman, yang meliputi reduksi, penyajian, dan penarikan kesimpulan.
Hasilnya mengungkapkan bahwa internalisasi nilai-nilai moderasi terjadi melalui tiga tahapan utama: transformasi nilai, transaksi nilai, dan transinternalisasi nilai. Melalui tahapan-tahapan ini, santri tidak hanya memahami moderasi secara kognitif tetapi juga menerapkannya dalam perilaku sosial yang mencerminkan tawassuṭh (moderasi), i‘tidāl (keadilan), tasāmuh (toleransi), syūrā (musyawarah), iṣlāḥ (reformasi/perbaikan), dan muwāṭanah (patriotisme). Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kitab At-Taḥliyyah berfungsi sebagai media pendidikan yang efektif untuk memperkuat karakter santri sejalan dengan nilai-nilai kebangsaan, humanisme, dan visi Kementerian Agama tentang moderasi beragama
REKONSTRUKSI SOSIO-MORAL BERBASIS KITAB TA'LIM AL-MUTA'ALLIM DI PONDOK PESANTREN GEDANGAN DALEMAN KEDUNGDUNG SAMPANG
Education in Indonesia tends to be fragmented into components that operate separately. In fact, there are three types of learning outcomes, cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. Therefore, the teaching of Ta’lim al-Muta’allim should not rely solely on oral instruction, but should involve other approaches that offer stronger potential for optimizing moral practice. On this basis, a study on socio-moral reconstruction grounded in Ta’lim al-Muta’allim was conducted at Pondok Pesantren Gedangan Daleman Kedungdung, Sampang, using a qualitative field research design. The findings indicate that this socio-moral reconstruction is implemented through three approaches. First, a holistic learning process consisting of preparation, introduction of material, active learning, application of knowledge, evaluation, and reflection. Second, moral exemplification through andhep ashor, abekteh, and ngormat, which are elements of Madurese pesantren culture that emphasize commendable conduct in humility, devotion, and respect for others. Third, habituation, namely continuous activities that accustom students to practices with positive value for their patterns of thinking and behavior. The high intensity of these activities leads to internalization, shaping students’ character and manifesting concretely in their daily lives.Pendidikan di Indonesia cenderung terpecah menjadi komponen-komponen yang berjalan secara terpisah. Padahal tipe hasil belajar ada tiga, yaitu kognitif, afektif, dan psikomotorik. Maka, pembelajaran kitab Ta’lim Al-Mutaallim mestinya tidak hanya dengan lisan tapi juga dengan pendekatan lain yang menjanjikan terhadap otimalisasi praktik moral. Dengan demikian dilakukan penelitian rekonstruksi sosio-moral berbasis kitab Ta'lim Al-Muta'allim di Pondok Pesantren Gedangan Daleman Kedungdung Sampang dengan metode penelitian kualitatif dan jenis penelitian field research. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rekonstruksi sosio-moral tersebut dilakukan dengan tiga pendekatan, yaitu 1). Dengan pembelajaran yang holistik, yaitu persiapan, pengenalan materi, proses pembelajaran aktif, penerapan ilmu dan evaluasi dan refleksi 2). Dengan keteladanan dalam andhep ashor, abekteh dan ngormat. Merupakan budaya pesantren Madura yang bermakna pemberian contoh yang terpuji dalam rendah diri, berbakti dan menghormati orang lain 3). Dengan pembiasaan, yaitu aktivitas membiasakan anak dengan kegiatan yang bernilai baik terhadap pola pikir dan tingkah laku anak. Intensitas kegiatan yang begitu tinggi, sehingga mendarah daging kepada anak dan menjadi refleksi nyata dalam kehidupan sehari-har
PENGARUH KUALITAS TIDUR TERHADAP TINGKAT PRODUKTIVITAS MAHASANTRI DI LINGKUNGAN LEMBAGA TINGGI PESANTREN LUHUR MALANG
Sleep is a primary need that plays an important role in maintaining body functions to continue to run properly. The density of daily activities and rhythms in the Islamic boarding school environment often requires good time management. However, in reality, rest patterns and sleep quality are less noticed, such as sleeping late at night because of college assignments, organizational activities or committee activities that become routine. This study aims to analyze the relationship between sleep quality and the productivity of collage students at the Luhur Malang Islamic Boarding School. This study uses a quantitative observational analytical research type with a cross-sectional approach that was carried out in May 2025 at the Luhur Malang Islamic Boarding School. The number of samples successfully collected in this study was 90 collage students. The data obtained were then processed by calculating the average value of each variable (sleep quality and productivity) and then a correlation was carried out between the two. The average value is then divided into three levels, namely: low (1.00-2.99), medium (3.00-3.99), and high (4.00-5.00). Then the Pearson correlation test was carried out using statistical software, namely SPPS. The results obtained for the low sleep quality category were 61 people (67.8%), and 29 people (32.2%) with a correlation coefficient of the two variables of r = 0.988 with a significance value of p = 0.001. This means that there is a positive relationship between sleep quality and productivity levels. This has a direct impact on sleepiness in the morning. As a result, poor sleep quality is one of the causes of decreased collage student productivity.Sleep is a primary need that plays an important role in maintaining body functions to continue to run properly.

PERCERAIAN AKIBAT HUTANG PIUTANG ISTRI TANPA SEPENGETAHUAN SUAMI PERSPEKTIF IMAM SYAFI’I : Studi di Desa Karangnongko Poncokusumo Malang
This study examines how debts incurred by a wife without her husband's knowledge affect marital harmo ny and how such actions may serve as valid grounds for divorce. Divorce is a complex social phenomenon influenced by various factors, and financial secrecy is one of the key triggers of marital conflict. When a wife secretly takes on debt, it can create distrust, emotional strain, and significant financial pressure that disrupt the stability of the household.

The results show that, according to Imam al-Shafi‘i, a wife who incurs debt without informing her husband undermines family well-being and violates the principles of trust and shared responsibility in marriage, highlighting the importance of financial transparency and open communication in maintaining marital harmon
