Management of Nonformal Islamic Education Institutions: A Case Study Analysis on Majelis Taklim
Full text linkThe governance of majelis taklim (Islamic study groups) is still diverse and unstandardized, resulting in differences in community participation and management effectiveness, which in turn affect the quality of Nonformal Islamic education. This study examines the governance of Nonformal Islamic educational institutions, specifically majelis taklim, through a qualitative multisite approach in eighteen majelis taklim in Mandailing Natal Regency. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results revealed two distinct governance models: open and closed. Open governance is typically found in majelis taklim established and managed by the community, characterized by high participation in decision-making and management. In contrast, closed governance is observed in majelis taklim managed by religious scholars, where decisions are centralized. The type of governance structure influences community participation levels, open governance shows higher involvement, while closed governance is more limited. These findings indicate that governance structures play a crucial role in determining community engagement and influencing Nonformal Islamic education practices. This study implies the importance of adaptive and participatory governance guidelines to enhance the effectiveness of Islamic study group management and strengthen the role of communities in Islamic education

The results of the study indicate that the At-Tadzkir material has been implemented gradually in several Quran Education Centers, with a focus on understanding the basic rules of tajweed recitation. The challenges faced include limited training time, insufficient class hours, lack of learning materials, and diverse educational backgrounds of the teachers. Despite these challenges, the implementation of this material has had a positive impact on improving teachers' understanding and practical skills in tajweed, as well as supporting strategies for the sustainable development of teachers' competencies in Qur'an education
Strategy for Developing the Quality of Islamic Education Based on Digital Technology through Teacher Working Groups
Full text linkThe main context of this study arises from the low quality of Islamic Religious Education learning in schools, which is caused by the suboptimal use of digital technology among teachers. Limited digital competence, a lack of innovative learning media, and weak professional collaboration have resulted in Islamic Religious Education learning that remains conventional and less responsive to students’ needs. This study aims to analyze strategies for strengthening the quality of Islamic Religious Education through digital-based initiatives facilitated by the Teacher Working Group in West Pontianak. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observations, and document analysis involving twelve informants, including Islamic Religious Education teachers, instructors, group administrators, and supervisors. The findings indicate that quality strengthening is carried out through needs-based planning, interactive digital training, continuous mentoring, and collaborative professional learning communities. The novelty of this research lies in its focus on the Teacher Working Group as a center of digital transformation for Islamic Religious Education. The implication of this study is the need to expand this strategic model to enhance digital competence among Islamic Religious Education teachers
Transformation of Islamic Education through the Integration of Sufism For the Enhancement of Spiritual Intelligence
Full text linkIslamic education faces a significant challenge in the Society 5.0 era, where the dominance of cognitive approaches often fails to address the critical need for students' spiritual strengthening. This situation creates an urgent demand for more holistic educational models grounded in Sufi principles. This study aims to map the development of research on the integration of Sufism into Islamic education and its contribution to enhancing spiritual intelligence. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was employed to analyze scholarly literature from 2000 to 2024, following the stages of research question formulation, selection criteria establishment, cross-database searching (international and national), article screening, data extraction, and thematic analysis. The synthesis of findings reveals that Sufi values—such as contemplation (tafakkur), soul purification (tazkiyah), and character building—significantly strengthen curriculum design, learning strategies, and student transformation. This integration has been proven to foster the development of spiritual, cognitive, and emotional intelligence as the foundation for cultivating the complete human (insan kamil). The study's implications underscore the necessity of developing more humanistic, adaptive, and holistic-oriented Islamic education models to navigate the complexities of the digital age
Integration of Local Wisdom and Islamic Values as a Foundation for the Strengthening of Character Education in the Modern Era
Full text linkGlobalization and technological developments have posed significant challenges to students’ character education, including weakened morality, rising individualism, diminished appreciation of cultural values, and reduced sensitivity to religious teachings. This study aims to analyze the implementation of integrating Minangkabau local wisdom and Islamic values in character education at SMAN 1 West Sumatra, as well as the strategies employed by the school to optimize this integration. The study uses a qualitative case study approach, involving in-depth interviews with school leaders, teachers, and students, participatory observations, and analysis of school documents and visual archives. Data were thematically analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, with triangulation to ensure validity. The results show that character internalization occurs holistically through habituation, teacher role modeling, school routines, religious and social activities, and community involvement. Values such as honesty, discipline, responsibility, and tolerance are internalized practically. Integrating Islamic values with the principle of Adat Basandi Syara’, Syara’ Basandi Kitabullah strengthens students’ religious and cultural identity while equipping them with moral, social, and reflective competencies relevant to modern challenges

Tawhid Values in Tafsir Al-Qur'anul Karim by Shaykh Abdul Halim Hasan and Implications for Contemporary Aqidah Education
Full text linkThe lack of research on the intellectual heritage of Nusantara scholars has resulted in limited academic recognition of local contributions to the development of Islamic creed education.
