Navigating Remedial Dhikr and Surah Memorization: A Quest for Improvement or Procedural Challenges?
Full text linkThis study explores a new phenomenon in the implementation of remedial practices that differ from the common remedial approaches. In this context, remedial activities involve reciting dhikr (remembrance of God) and memorizing short surahs (chapters) during the learning process. The research aims to describe the implementation of this remedial approach and the underlying reasons for its adoption at MA Sabilal Muhtadin. The research employs a qualitative approach using phenomenological methods. The study subjects include two teachers and five relevant informants. The research findings reveal several key points. First, the remedial activities involve two teachers but do not appear to represent the appropriate instruments for enhancing the quality of students' learning. Students are only given additional tasks, such as memorization, without receiving guidance related to unfinished learning indicators. Second, the implementation of these remedial activities arises from teachers' perceptions of limited time allocation, prompting them to take the initiative to carry out remedial practices that can be completed quickly. Teachers also believe that remedial activities can compensate for students' inadequate grades. These findings indicate that teachers possess limited knowledge about the correct procedures for remedial practices. Third, the execution of remedial activities does not align with the proper remedial procedures, resulting in minimal impact on students' improved understanding and, in some cases, an additional learning burden. The implications of this research include providing recommendations to the relevant madrasah to improve their remedial programs. These recommendations encompass practical steps, such as organizing training sessions for madrasah teachers to enhance their understanding of the correct remedial procedures
Religious Interpretation and the Pandemics in Indonesia: Whither the Pesantren Kiai Develop Meaning of Tawakkal
Full text linkThis research examines the impact of Covid-19 on global communities and the subsequent implementation of health protocols such as social distancing, mask-wearing, and handwashing to mitigate health risks, particularly virus-related fatalities. Despite these measures, certain communities display reluctance in adhering to health protocols, leading to a surge in Covid-19 cases. Notably, in Indonesia, Islamic education's role in promoting resistance to Covid-19 health protocols through interpretations of Quranic verses on tawakkal (reliance on God's will) remains understudied. Focusing on selected kiai from Sidoarjo district, East Java, this study delves into the various Quranic interpretations regarding pandemics and their evolution. The research identifies two distinct groups of kiai: one advocating complete reliance on tawakkal, relegating human efforts in combating the virus, and another emphasizing proactive measures before turning to tawakkal. The paper argues that these interpretative differences stem from the kiai's ability to use principles of interpreting al-Qur`ān. Understanding these perspectives highlights the interplay between religious beliefs and public health practices during the pandemic, emphasizing the need for engaging Islamic leaders in promoting effective health protocols for societal well-being
Fostering Moderate Islamic Values: Implementing a Design Model for Counter-Radicalization in Higher Education
Full text linkThis study delves into the construction of a counter-radicalization model within Islamic higher education, specifically at Sunan Ampel State Islamic University in Surabaya. The imperative to curb the spread of radicalism within campus communities highlights the significance of cultivating a comprehensive grasp of moderate Islam among students. Central to this research is the examination of the Islamic Studies course within the Primary School Teacher Education Program. Employing a research and development methodology, the study employs pre-post test designs, including control groups, to discern the effectiveness of the proposed model. Notably, the course design departs from conventional non-religious subjects, incorporating both direct and indirect instructional approaches. Post-treatment results reveal a noteworthy enhancement in students' exhibition of moderate Islamic attitudes, with performance levels escalating from an initial 60.71% to a promising 70.00%. Statistical scrutiny underscores the model's efficacy, affirming its potency in fostering moderation-based insights among students. Ultimately, this investigation underscores the model's superiority in enhancing students' comprehension in contrast to conventional pedagogical strategies

The Concept of Personality of Islamic Religious Education Teachers based on Kuntowijoyo’s Prophetic Social Science
Full text linkTeachers’ competence has been discussed by some Islamic figures as the main indicator in order to formulate the concept of teachers’ personality for teachers in general. However, the indicators that are spesifically for Islamic education teachers have not been discussed yet, so it is important to deepen and specify the study to formulate criteria of the concept of teachers’ personality that mainly focus on Islamic education teachers based on Islamic view. Based on those reasons, the writers are interested in conducting research in the area of the concept of teachers’ personality based on the Kuntowijoyo’s prophetic social science which contains transcendence, humanzation and liberation values. The prophetic social science by kuntowijoyo is formulated based on the surah Ali Imron verse 110. In this research, the writers will focus on the teachers of Islamic religious education (PAI). By using the concept, the research is expected to formulate the indicators for the concept of teachers’ personality which is intended specifically for Islamic religious education teachers. This research uses library research methodology with psychological-pedagogical approach. The main source of the research is the book by Kuntowijoyo with some secondary data sources. The results of the study show that: (1) the concept of teacher’s personality, in the perspective of Islamic education, must refer to the noble morals as exemplified by the Prophet Muhammad SAW based on the values of Islamic teachings. (2) the concept of Islamic education teacher’s personality based on Kuntowijoyo’s prophetic social science must include three prophetic values (transcendence, humanist and liberating). So, in order to acquiring the concept of teachers’ personality, it is important for the Islamic education teachers to be transcendence, liberating and humanist as well as emulating the values of Prophet Muhammad. In relation to the current context, this concept can be used as a solution in response to the challenges of Islamic religious education teachers that come from the aspect of the teacher's personality. So, it is hoped that the indicators which is based on kuntowijoyo’s prophetic social science can be used as the formulation for all teachers to upgrade their personality competence, especially for Islamic religious education teachers.Konsep karakterisitik guru yang telah dirumuskan oleh beberapa tokoh Islam masih berupa pembahsan kompetensi guru secara umum. Namun demikian, hal tersebut dapat dijadikan sebagai dasar dalam merumuskan konsep kepribadian guru pendidikan agama Islam yang memang belum dilakukan pengkajian secara spesifik dan mendalam.

Sehingga diharapkan dapat menjadi salah satu rumusan solusi dalam menjawab tantangan guru pendidikan agama Islam berkaitan dengan aspek kepribadian guru itu sendiri. Jenis penelitian ini yaitu penelitian kepustakaan dengan pendekatan psikologis-pedagogis. Digunakan sumber data primer berupa buku karya Kuntowijoyo yang memuat tentang Ilmu Sosial Profetik dan didukung dengan sumber data sekunder lainnya. Adapun kesimpulan dari penelitian ini yaitu: (1) konsep kepribadian guru perspektif pendidikan agama Islam merupakan kemampuan yang harus dimiliki guru dengan mengacu pada akhlak mulia sebagaimana yang diteladankan oleh Nabi Muhammad SAW berdasarkan nilai-nilai ajaran Islam. (2) kepribadian guru pendidikan agama Islam berbasis ilmu sosial profetik perspektif kuntowijoyo merupakan kemampuan personal yang harus dimiliki guru berbasiskan ketiga nilai profetik yaitu transendensi, liberasi dan humanisasi. Berkaitan dengan konteks saat ini, konsep tersebut dapat dijadikan sebagai rumusan solusi dalam menjawab tantangan guru pendidikan agama Islam yang berasal dari aspek kepribadian guru itu sendiri. Sehingga diharapkan dapat ditemukan indikator-indikator dalam perumusan kompetensi kepribadian guru terutama guru pendidikan agama Islam ke arah yang semakin baik lagi

Quranic-based Moderate Islam in Pesantren against Radicalism
Full text linkThis article investigates counter-radicalism practices through the development of wasathiyah Islamic teachings at the Raudlotul Huffadz Pondok Pesantren (PPRH) in Tabanan, Bali. The competition between radical and moderate Muslims (wasathiyah) is intensifying. In this instance, the existence of radical extremist groups is the reason moderate Islam (wasathiyah) exists. This article explains that the practice of counterradicalism through the construction of Al-Quran-based Wasathiyah Islamic teachings in the PPRH takes the form of constructing and developing moderate, tolerant, anti-radicalization, and rahmatan lil alamin Islamic teachings to combat radicalism movements that are frequently attributed to the Quran. At PPRH, the tahfidz al-Quran assembly is created, in which Islamic values of wasathiyah and anti-religious radicalism are taught. This program is a countermeasure against non-Sanad tahfidz al-Quran houses, which tend to teach religious values with radical overtones. In fact, the Al-Qur’an, as the primary source of Islamic teachings, must be investigated in terms of wasathi narratives and Islamic movements as part of peaceful and rahmatan lil'alamin Islamic teachings.Artikel ini mengkaji praktik kontra radikalisme melalui konstruksi ajaran Islam wasathiyah di Pondok Pesantren Raudlotul Huffadz (PPRH) Tabanan Bali. Kontestasi antara muslim radikal dengan muslim moderat (wasathiyah) semakin meruncing. Dalam hal ini, keberadaan kelompok ekstremis-radikal menjadi raison d’etre Islam moderat (wasathiyah). Artikel ini menjelasakan bahwa praktik kontra radikalisme melalui konstruksi ajaran Islam wasathiyah berbasis al-Quran di PPRH diwujudkan dalam bentuk membangun dan mengembangkan ajaran Islam moderat, toleran, anti radikalisme, dan rahmatan lil alamin yang didasarkan pada ayat-ayat al-Quran dalam rangka melawan ajaran dan gerakan radikalisme yang sering diklaim bersumber dari al-Quran. Di PPRH dikembangkan majlis-majlis tahfidz al-Quran bersanad, yang diajarkan nilai-nilai Islam wasathiyah dan anti radikalisme agama. Program ini sebagai bentuk counter terhadap rumah-rumah tahfidz al-Quran yang tidak bersanad, yang cenderung mengajarkan nilai-nilai agama bernuansa radikal. Padahal, al-Quran sebagai sumber utama ajaran Islam perlu dieksplorasi menjadi narasi dan gerakan keislaman yang wasathi sebagai bagian dari ajaran Islam yang damai dan rahmatan lil ‘alamin
