Reformasi Pemikiran dan Praktik Pendidikan Islam: Analisis Komparatif atas Gagasan Muhammad Qasim Zaman di Timur Tengah dan Asia Selatan

Hasnil Oktavera — 2025-06-05

This article explores the reform of Islamic educational thought and practice through a comparative analysis of Muhammad Qasim Zaman's perspectives on the Middle East and South Asia. The method used in this research is qualitative, using content analysis techniques on Zaman's book, Modern Islamic Thought in a Radical Age: Religious Authority and Internal Criticism, as well as Zaman's other books and writings. The analysis focuses on how religious authority, the role of clerics, and political engagement affect Islamic educational institutions and discourses. The findings show that Zaman presents a critical reflection on the intersection between tradition and modernity in both regions, demonstrating how educational reforms were shaped by debates between traditionalist and modernist currents. These dynamics contributed to the formation of new educational models-such as reformed madrasas and integrated universities-that sought to integrate classical Islamic knowledge with modern sciences. This study highlights Zaman's contribution to understanding the trajectory of Islamic education reform in different socio-political contexts.

Integrasi Tradisi dan Modernitas dalam Reformasi Pendidikan Pesantren: Studi Kasus Kawasan Pesantren Sidosermo Surabaya

Kurniadi Kurniadi — 2025-06-05

Pesantren plays an important role in Islamic education in Indonesia. However, in the modern era, pesantren face challenges in adapting traditional values with formal education and modern technology. This study aims to examine the reform of pesantren in Sidosermo, Surabaya, in integrating traditional values with the modern education system. The research method used is a mixed methods method with an exploratory approach. Qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document studies, while quantitative data were collected through surveys and analyzed using statistical regression. The results showed that teaching methods had the most significant influence on the level of pesantren adaptation (β = 3.906), followed by teacher qualifications (β = 3.740) and facilities and infrastructure (β = 1.581). The support of ulama played a major role in pesantren reform (Sig. = 0.007), although in some cases it can be an obstacle if it is not in line with modernization policies. The conclusion of this study is that pesantren reform must be carried out gradually with an inclusive approach, involving all stakeholders so that it can be widely accepted without eliminating the identity of the pesantren. This study is expected to contribute to the development of sustainable pesantren education policies in the modern era.

Menelusuri Jejak Spiritualitas dalam Pembelajaran Kaligrafi Metode Hamidi di Pesantren SAKAL Jombang

Hilyah Ashoumi — 2025-06-05

This study aims to explore the quality indicators of calligraphy within the implementation of the Hamidi Method, as well as to trace the spiritual dimensions embedded in the calligraphy learning process at SAKAL Islamic Boarding School (Pesantren) in Jombang. Using a qualitative approach, this research analyzes how technical aspects—such as proportional accuracy (nisbah), consistency of letterforms, and artistic composition—are harmoniously integrated with spiritual values, making each stroke of calligraphy a form of devotion to the Divine Word (Kalamullah). The Hamidi Method is implemented progressively through the use of kurrasah (instructional booklets) and scholarly mentorship rooted in a chain of transmission (sanad), developing students'skills while instilling discipline and Islamic spirituality.The indicators of calligraphy quality in this context include five key aspects: proper use of tools and materials, technical precision, harmonious layout composition, fluency in writing, and artistic expression grounded in tradition. From Seyyed Hossein Nasr’s perspective on spirituality, calligraphy is not merely visual art but sacred art that fulfills four main functions: psychological-spiritual balance, reminder of Divine transcendence, reflection of collective religious consciousness, and a symbol of Islamic civilizational progress. The findings indicate that the Hamidi Method is not only effective for technical skill development but also serves as a transformative educational model that blends spirituality and culture, bridging classical Islamic values with contemporary relevance.

Visualisasi Ayat Kursi pada Ornamen Kursi Mimbar (Studi Living Qur’an di Masjid Quwwatul Islam Yogyakarta)

Moh. Abdulloh Hilmi — 2025-06-05

This article discusses the visualization of the Ayat al-Kursi (Verse of the Throne) on the pulpit chair in the Quwwatul Islam Mosque in Yogyakarta. The ornamentation of Ayat al-Kursi in the form of a chair signifies that the Quran has entered the realm of aesthetic dimensions. The decorative carving of Ayat al-Kursi displayed by the author is a result of the reception of a fusion between Javanese and Kalimantanese artistry with the Quran. In this context, the author employs Alfred Schlutz's theory to elucidate two phenomena, namely the because motive and the in-order-to motive. The findings of this research are twofold. Firstly, the inclusion of Ayat al-Kursi as an ornament on the pulpit chair is because this verse possesses extraordinary meaning and content, explicating the magnificence of Allah over all of His creations. Secondly, it serves as a reminder to the preachers and congregants to always remember Allah SWT and His omnipotence, as well as to encourage the congregants to frequent the mosque for worship. Thus, the presence of the Ayat al-Kursi ornament on the chair not only signifies aesthetic values but also holds a profound history and encapsulates religious values found within the Quran.
