The research was conducted in June 2020 using a qualitative approach. The results show that Daar el-Qolam conforms in responding to various government policies related to the pandemic. When the government issued a new policy, Daar el-Qolam tried to follow the policy even though he had to change the existing policy or system. One of them is by repatriating students and stopping all activities at the boarding school. Thus, Daar el-Qolam's conformity can be seen from its efforts to always be in harmony and in accordance with group norms, which in this case is government policy. Meanwhile, the adaptations made by Daar el-Qolam are autoplastic and alloplastic. Autoplastic is carried out when Daar el-Qolam changes various internal policies to adapt to pandemic conditions, such as sending students home prematurely, conducting online learning, and providing facilities that comply with health protocols. Meanwhile, alloplastic is carried out when Daar el-Qolam changes the environment to suit the desired conditions, such as re-activating Islamic boarding school activities but with various changes in the learning process, santri lifestyle, and social and religious behaviour

Full text linkThis paper argues Islamism in Aceh Province, Indonesia, has a long history within the social structure of the Acehnese people. Genealogically, there are two factors to view Islamism here, namely the relationship between Islam and politics in the past, and the people’s cultural and social construction, which has a strong Islamic base. Therefore, the collective memory about the relationship between Islam and politics, as well as the construction, then has implications in the lives of the Acehnese people in closely viewing those from various aspects. This study applies a qualitative method in which the data were collected through observation, interview, and documentation. The findings indicate that Islamism in Aceh is not a form of compensation from the Government of Indonesia to quell the conflict, but rather the form of aspirations that come from below on the long-standing awareness in the cultural and social structure of the locals regarding the relationship between religion and the state. In addition, unlike similar studies involving the notion of Pan-Islamism, the result shows that Islamism is more likely as the demands to retrieve political recognition
