Reconstructing Andragogy in the Story of Moses and Khidr: An Analysis of i Ibn'Ashur’s Tafsir on Contemporary Adult Learning Problematics

Thu, 25 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Abstract

Adult education (andragogy) in the Society 5.0 era faces serious challenges in the form of a crisis of manners (adab) and "intellectual ego," which often reduces the essence of knowledge to merely functional-technical aspects. This study aims to reconstruct the concept of andragogy by analyzing the pedagogical dimensions in the story of Prophet Musa AS and Prophet Khidr AS based on the perspective of Ibn ‘Asyur's Interpretation (Tafsir). Using a qualitative method with a library research type and a hermeneutic-pedagogical approach, this study examines four main elements of learning: goals, educators, learners, and educational materials. The results show that Ibn ‘Asyur's Tafsir offers an andragogy model that transcends Western paradigms by emphasizing intellectual humility, continuous spiritual supervision, and the integration of "ladunni" knowledge as a balancer to academic positivism. The implications of this study confirm that adult education in Islam must place faith (aqidah) and morals (akhlak) as the main foundation to form learners who are not only professionally competent but also spiritually mature.

M. Riandhus Sholiqin; Maria Alqibtiyyah; Vita Maudya, Hamidatun Nihayah — Thu, 25 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Abstract

Education in Islam does not merely emphasize the mastery of knowledge but also the cultivation of students’ morals and ethics. The Qur’an and Hadith provide clear guidance regarding the attitudes that should be embodied by learners in the process of seeking knowledge. This article aims to examine the ethics of students from the perspective of the Qur’an and Hadith and their relevance to contemporary education. This study employs a library research method by analyzing various written sources, including academic journals, Qur’anic verses, Hadith, and classical exegesis related to student ethics. The analysis focuses on selected Qur’anic verses concerning the ethics of seeking knowledge, particularly Surah Luqman verse 18 and Surah Al-Kahf verses 62 and 66–70, as well as Hadith on the virtues of seeking knowledge. The findings indicate that the ethics of students in Islam include humility, respect for teachers, diligence in learning, and patience in the process of acquiring knowledge. This study is expected to serve as a guideline for educators and students in implementing Islamic educational ethics effectively.

Azizah nurma via Azizah nurma via, Imam Mashuri , Rifki Firdaus — Thu, 25 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Abstract

This study examines the role of Islamic Religious Education teachers in teaching the Arabic Pegon script at Chongraksat Wittaya School, located in Pattani, Southern Thailand. The Pegon script holds significant value as both a cultural heritage and a marker of Islamic identity among the Pattani Malay community. The objectives of this research are twofold: to describe the teachers' roles in Pegon instruction and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors associated with it. A descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design was employed. Data collection techniques included semi-structured interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman framework, which consists of data condensation, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing or verification. The findings reveal three primary roles of PAI teachers: as educators, facilitators, and motivators. Supporting factors include a conducive sociocultural environment, teacher motivation and background, as well as family and community support. Conversely, inhibiting factors involve linguistic challenges and the growing detachment of younger generations from the Malay language tradition. The study concludes that although PAI teachers at Chongraksat Wittaya School play an active role in preserving the Pegon script, there remains a need to strengthen more adaptive teaching methods.

Husnawan Aziz Nawan, Imam Mashuri, Rifqi Firdaus — Thu, 25 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Abstract

This study aims to analyze Islamic religious education based on the Jawi script at Ban Sipo School, Narathiwat, Southern Thailand, as a pedagogical practice and a form of preserving Malay Islamic literacy in a multilingual educational context. The issue addressed in this research concerns the gap between the symbolic importance of Jawi as a marker of Malay-Muslim identity and students’ practical ability to read and understand Jawi religious texts. This study employed a qualitative approach with an exploratory case study design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and documentation studies involving the principal, vice principal, Islamic education teachers, and students selected through purposive sampling. The data were analyzed thematically through data reduction, coding, pattern grouping, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that Jawi-based learning is implemented through reading, imitating, explaining, and repeating, with teachers acting as literacy models. The study also found that Jawi is interpreted as a medium of religious knowledge transmission and cultural identity, although students still face literacy challenges. The study emphasizes the necessity of structured, adaptive, and multilingual learning strategies to strengthen Jawi literacy in Islamic education.

Nashrullah, Trisyah Nakhwanda, Fadzilatul Riski Mubarokah, Robiah Al Adawiyah — Thu, 25 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to analyze the internalization of Islamic spirituality in strengthening the psychological resilience of Generation Z students in a madrasah setting. This study is motivated by the increasing psychological distress among adolescents due to academic pressure, social dynamics, and exposure to digital media, which affect students’ emotional well-being. Although various studies have shown a relationship between spirituality and mental health, research on the internalization of Islamic spirituality as a factor in strengthening psychological resilience in madrasahs remains limited. This study employs a qualitative approach using a case study design at MA Arraudlah Tumapel Duduksampeyan Gresik. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the madrasah principal, Islamic Education (PAI) teachers, guidance counselors, homeroom teachers, and students. The results indicate that the internalization of Islamic spirituality is achieved through the regular practice of religious activities, teachers’ exemplary behavior, and daily religious practices. Activities such as congregational prayer, istighosah, tahlil, and communal prayer help students manage their emotions, reduce academic anxiety, and improve their ability to adapt to psychological stress. This study confirms that Islamic spirituality serves as a form of religious coping in strengthening the psychological resilience of Generation Z students at the madrasah.

Transcending Epistemological Binaries: Harmonizing Bayani And Burhani Reasoning In Contemporary Pesantren Education In The Global Era

M. Nafiur Rofiq; Babun Suharto, Imam Syafi'i — Thu, 25 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Abstract

The discourse on Islamic education in Indonesia, particularly within the pesantren tradition, is often trapped in a persistent epistemological binary: the traditionalist approach focusing on textual authority (bayani) vis-à-vis the modern educational paradigm emphasizing empirical rationality (burhani). This dichotomy results in an educational schizophrenia where religious piety and scientific competency are perceived as mutually exclusive domains. This article aims to propose a comprehensive epistemological reconstruction for contemporary pesantren by harmonizing bayani and burhani reasons. Using a philosophical approach based on Muhammad Abed Al-Jabiri’s Critique of Arab Reason and Amin Abdullah’s Integration-Interconnection theory, this study argues that the preservation of tradition (turats) and the adoption of modern science are not contradictory but complementary. The findings suggest that harmonizing these reasons creates a 'Spider Web' of knowledge where Revelation serves as the ethical foundation and normative guide, while modern science functions as the analytical tool to decipher natural and social realities. This synthesis allows pesantren to produce 'Ulama-Scientists' who possess both spiritual depth and the intellectual agility to address global challenges such as ecological crises, bioethics, and digital disruption.

Abstract

Globalization has brought about fundamental changes in the education system, including in the management of Islamic education. The development of information technology, demands for quality education, and global competition place Islamic educational institutions in a complex and dynamic situation. This article aims to analyze the challenges and contemporary dynamics of Islamic education management in the flow of globalization. This research uses a qualitative approach using the library study method (library research), by analyzing various literature sources in the form of books, scientific journal articles and relevant educational policy documents. The results of the study show that the main challenges of Islamic education management include limited professional human resources, adaptation to the digitalization of education, strengthening institutional governance, and efforts to maintain Islamic identity and values amidst global influence. These contemporary dynamics demand the transformation of Islamic education management that is innovative, responsive and quality-oriented. Therefore, Islamic education management needs to integrate Islamic values with the principles of modern professionalism in order to be able to be globally competitive without losing its Islamic character.
