The Amr (Perintah) dalam Al-Qur'an: Analisis Redaksi dan Cabang-Cabang Maknanya dalam Perspektif Pendidikan Islam Kontemporer

sri rianti, Fatihah , M Ziyadul Haq — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bentuk-bentuk ungkapan amr (perintah) dalam Al-Qur'an, mengidentifikasi cabang-cabang semantiknya, dan meneliti relevansinya terhadap pendidikan Islam kontemporer. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan menggunakan riset pustaka. Data primer terdiri dari ayat-ayat Al-Qur'an yang mengandung ungkapan amr, sedangkan data sekunder diperoleh dari karya-karya tafsir klasik dan kontemporer, literatur uṣūl al-fiqh, buku-buku, dan artikel-artikel ilmiah yang relevan. Data dianalisis melalui analisis isi menggunakan pendekatan tematik (tafsir maudhu'i) dan uṣūl al-fiqh. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa ungkapan amr dalam Al-Qur'an tidak terbatas pada fi'l al-amr (kata kerja imperatif), tetapi juga muncul dalam bentuk fi'l muḍāri' yang didahului oleh lām al-amr, ism fi'l al-amr, kata benda verbal (maṣdar) yang membawa makna imperatif, dan konstruksi linguistik lainnya. Penelitian ini lebih lanjut menunjukkan bahwa amr tidak selalu menunjukkan kewajiban. Tergantung pada indikator kontekstualnya (qarā'in), ia dapat menyampaikan berbagai makna, termasuk perintah yang sahih (wujūb), permohonan (du'ā'), permintaan (iltimās), petunjuk (irshād), ancaman (tahdīd), dan tantangan atau ketidakmampuan (ta'jīz). Dari perspektif pendidikan Islam, perintah-perintah Al-Qur'an mewujudkan nilai-nilai pendidikan yang penting, termasuk pembentukan karakter, perkembangan spiritual, tanggung jawab sosial, disiplin, akuntabilitas, dan peningkatan ranah kognitif, afektif, dan psikomotorik peserta didik. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa pemahaman tentang amr membutuhkan pendekatan integratif yang menggabungkan linguistik Al-Qur'an, eksegesis, retorika (balāghah), dan uṣūl al-fiqh untuk mencapai interpretasi yang komprehensif dan berkontribusi pada pengembangan teori dan praktik pendidikan Islam berbasis Al-Qur'an.

Abd Rasyid — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to examine the integration of Qur’anic exegesis (tafsir) and Arabic linguistics in contemporary Arabic language learning and to evaluate its implications for students’ language competence and text comprehension. The research employs a qualitative approach with library research and descriptive-analytical analysis of recent scholarly literature, including international journals and Scopus-indexed articles. The findings indicate that integrating Qur’anic exegesis and Arabic linguistics enhances structural understanding of Arabic, interpretive skills in reading the Qur’anic text, and internalization of Islamic educational values. The integrative model also has implications for curriculum design, teaching strategies, and holistic evaluation methods. The study recommends implementing this model as an innovative approach in contemporary Arabic language education to strengthen both linguistic competence and character development among learners.

The Concept of the Integration of Knowledge and Ablution in Islamic Education from Az-Zarnuji’s Perspective (An Analysis of the Book Ta’lim al-Muta’allim)

Siti Aisyah, Kustiana Arisanti , Ramdan Wagianto — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Islamic education essentially does not only emphasize the process of transferring knowledge, but also prioritizes the formation of spirituality, morality, and the blessing (barakah) of knowledge. However, contemporary educational systems tend to prioritize cognitive achievement over spiritual and moral dimensions, resulting in the decline of ethical orientation and religious values in educational practices. This study aims to analyze the concept of the integration of knowledge and ablution (wudhu) in Islamic education from the perspective of Shaykh Burhanuddin Az-Zarnuji through an analysis of the book Ta’lim al-Muta’allim and its relevance to contemporary Islamic education. This study employs a qualitative approach using a library research method. Primary data were obtained from the book Ta’lim al-Muta’allim, while secondary data were collected from scientific journals, books, and relevant studies published between 2020–2025. Data analysis was conducted through content analysis and a hermeneutic approach to examine the philosophical dimensions of Az-Zarnuji’s educational thought. The findings indicate that the integration of knowledge and ablution in Az-Zarnuji’s perspective is not merely related to ritual worship practices, but also represents a holistic integration between intellectual development, spiritual purification, and character formation (adab). Ablution is understood as a medium of outward and inward purification that prepares students to acquire beneficial and blessed knowledge. This study also demonstrates that Az-Zarnuji’s educational thought remains relevant in addressing the challenges of contemporary education, particularly moral degradation, educational pragmatism, and the weakening spirituality of students in the digital era. Therefore, the integration of knowledge and ablution can serve as a holistic and humanistic paradigm of Islamic education by emphasizing the balance between intellectual, spiritual, and moral dimensions.

The Qur'anic Foundation of Love-Based Curriculum (KBC): An Analysis of Thematic Interpretation of Humanistic Islamic Education

Sat, 13 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study examines the Love-Based Curriculum (Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta/KBC) developed by the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs from a Qur’anic perspective. The research analyzes the Qur’anic normative foundations of the values of love that underpin the curriculum and their relevance to the development of humanistic Islamic education. This study employs a qualitative-descriptive approach, drawing on library research. Primary data were derived from the Qur’an, classical and contemporary tafsir literature, and official documents of the Love-Based Curriculum issued by the Ministry of Religious Affairs. The data were analyzed using the thematic interpretation method (tafsīr mawḍū‘ī), focusing on Qur’anic verses related to love, compassion, humanity, knowledge, and the environment. The findings reveal that the Love-Based Curriculum possesses a strong normative foundation in the Qur’an. Love for Allah and the Prophet serves as the spiritual foundation of education, while love for fellow human beings emphasizes the importance of inclusive, tolerant, and humanistic education. Furthermore, love for knowledge positions education as a means of intellectual and moral transformation, whereas love for the environment reflects the eco-theological dimension of Islamic education. This study concludes that the Love-Based Curriculum is not merely a pedagogical innovation, but also an actualization of Qur’anic values within contemporary Islamic education. Therefore, the curriculum may serve as a paradigm of humanistic Islamic education that integrates spirituality, morality, intellectuality, and socio-ecological awareness in shaping holistic human beings.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Ruangguru application-based supervision management transformation in strengthening the professionalism of Islamic Religious Education teachers at SMAN 1 Ciomas, Bogor Regency. The study used a qualitative approach with in depth interviews, observation, and document analysis techniques. The results show that the Ruangguru application helps transform conventional supervision into digital supervision that is more efficient, transparent, collaborative, and documented. This transformation strengthens supervision planning, accelerates reporting, facilitates evaluation, and encourages teachers to use supervision data for learning reflection. The main impact is seen in improving discipline, digital competence, accountability, and collaboration between teachers. Obstacles found include limited digital literacy, internet access, device readiness, and adaptation to the new system. This study concludes that Ruangguru-based supervision can be a model for professional development of Islamic Religious Education teachers that is adaptive, data-driven, and relevant to the needs of Islamic education in the digital era, especially in improving the quality of learning, reflective culture, and sustainable school supervision governance at the public secondary education level.

Design of Islamic Religious Education Learning Based on Problem-Based Learning

Indriyani Ma’rifah, Ahmad Asroni — Sun, 17 May 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Islamic Religious Education (IRE) learning in the 21st-century education era is required to develop critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and the strengthening of students’ character. However, in practice, IRE learning is still dominated by conventional, teacher-centered approaches, resulting in learning that tends to be theoretical and less contextual. This article aims to describe the design of Problem-Based Learning (PBL)-based Islamic Religious Education instruction, including its fundamental concepts, implementation stages, learning implications, and strategies for strengthening the PBL design in IRE learning.This study employs a qualitative approach with a library research method. Data were collected from various scientific journals, academic books, and previous studies relevant to Islamic Religious Education and Problem-Based Learning. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis techniques through the stages of data reduction, data display, interpretation, and conclusion drawing. The findings of the study indicate that a PBL-based IRE learning design can create active, contextual, and student-centered learning through the resolution of real-life problems related to theology (aqidah), Islamic ethics (akhlaq), jurisprudence (fiqh), and socio-religious life. The implementation of PBL in IRE learning contributes to improving critical thinking skills, social skills, collaboration abilities, as well as strengthening students’ religious character and religious moderation. In addition, strengthening the PBL design can be achieved through teacher training, integration of digital media, flexible learning time management, and reinforcement of values and character orientation in learning objectives and assessment. Thus, Problem-Based Learning can serve as a strategic alternative in creating IRE that is relevant to the demands of 21^st-century education.

The Implementation of the POE2WE Learning Model Assisted by PhET Simulation to Improve Conceptual Understanding of Grade XI Students at SMAN 1 Bukit Batu

Dzaidatul Masyhurah, Azhar, M. Nor — Sun, 17 May 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the POE2WE (Predict, Observe, Explain, Elaborate, Write, Evaluate) learning model assisted by PhET simulations in improving students’ conceptual understanding of Newton’s laws. The research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, specifically a posttest-only nonequivalent control group design. The population consisted of 68 eleventh-grade students at SMAN 1 Bukit Batu, Indonesia, in the 2025/2026 academic year. The sample was divided into two groups: the experimental class, which received instruction using the POE2WE learning model assisted by PhET simulations, and the control class, which was taught using conventional methods. Data were collected through a posttest consisting of multiple-choice questions designed to measure seven indicators of conceptual understanding: interpreting, exemplifying, classifying, generalizing, inferring, comparing, and explaining. Data analysis was conducted using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The results of the descriptive analysis showed that the experimental class achieved a higher average score (70.32) categorized as good, compared to the control class (53.94) categorized as fair. Inferential analysis using the Mann–Whitney U test revealed a significance value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference between the two groups. These findings suggest that the implementation of the POE2WE learning model assisted by PhET simulations is effective in enhancing students’ conceptual understanding of Newton’s laws. Therefore, this study contributes to the development of interactive and technology-based physics learning strategies.

Performing Qadhā Prayer on Behalf of the Deceased: Hadith Study and Jurisprudential Analysis of the Four Madhhabs

Tue, 19 May 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study investigates the Islamic jurisprudential status of prayers left unperformed (qadha shalat) by a deceased Muslim, combining rigorous hadith authentication (takhrij) with cross-madhhab legal comparison (muqaranah al-madzahib). The central question — whether a guardian (wali) may perform substitute prayers on behalf of the deceased by analogy with authenticated fasting-substitute hadiths — has generated sustained scholarly disagreement across the four Sunni schools. Drawing on primary classical sources and recent scholarship in Islamic law, including Scopus-indexed journals and nationally accredited Indonesian journals , this article demonstrates that: (1) no explicit (sharih) sahih hadith authorizes qadha prayers by a guardian; (2) the juristic disagreement turns precisely on competing definitions of the legal cause ('illah) in the qiyas argument, not on the hadith texts themselves; and (3) the Hanbali dissenting position, though methodologically coherent, is based on an 'illah — "unpaid debt to God" (dayn Allah) — that the majority correctly identifies as too broad to sustain a valid analogy with prayers. The study contributes a technically precise ushul fiqh analysis of the qiyas structure, filling a gap in comparative Islamic law literature.

The Essence of Barokah-Oriented Islamic Education in the Perspective of Ta'limul Muta'allim by Syekh Az-Zarnuji

Maysaroh, Ahmad Muzakki, Mohammad Solihin — Fri, 29 May 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Contemporary Islamic education faces the challenges of pragmatism, moral crisis, and information disruption that threaten the essence of the barokah (blessedness) of knowledge. This study aims to analyze the nature of barokah-oriented Islamic education according to Syekh Burhanuddin Az-Zarnuji in the book Ta'limul Muta'allim Thariq at-Ta'allum, to identify the pedagogical principles that constitute the barokah of knowledge, and to examine their relevance to Islamic education in Indonesia. The method employed is qualitative content analysis with a hermeneutical approach to classical Islamic texts. The primary source is the Ta'limul Muta'allim in its original Arabic manuscript and authoritative translations, supplemented by secondary sources including classical and contemporary Islamic educational literature. The results show that Az-Zarnuji constructs a barokah-based educational framework through four main pillars: (1) sincerity of intention (lillahi ta'ala) as an ontological foundation; (2) ta'zhim al-ustadz as an epistemological condition; (3) adab toward knowledge as an axiological dimension; and (4) the holistic ta'allum method as pedagogical operationalization. These four pillars form an educational system that transcends cognitive transmission toward character and spiritual transformation. Its relevance in the modern Indonesian context lies in the capacity of this concept to serve as an antithesis to educational pragmatism and to offer a holistic educational model that integrates cognitive, affective, spiritual, and social dimensions.

Nilam Fitriah; Afifuddin Ahmad Robbani, Nurdiana Sari, Wakib Kurniawan — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Teaching young children to read the Qur'an is not an easy task, as it requires not only adequate knowledge but also an appropriate teaching method that can be effectively applied in the learning process. This study examines the implementation of the Iqro method in improving the quality of Qur'an reading at Ummul Yaqin TPQ. The focus of this research is on teachers' efforts to optimize the accuracy of makhraj (pronunciation) and tajwid through the use of Iqro textbooks volumes 1–6. This study employs a descriptive qualitative research design. Data were collected through interviews and direct observations during the learning process. The main issue addressed in this study is that many students still experience difficulties in reading the Qur'an correctly and fluently. In addition, support from competent and qualified teachers with expertise in Qur'an recitation is essential. The findings of this study are expected to provide recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness of Qur'an reading instruction at Ummul Yaqin TPQ. Consequently, children will be better equipped to master Qur'an reading skills accurately and correctly in accordance with the rules of tajwid, progressing from the beginner level to advanced proficiency.

The Implementation of the Amtsilati Method in Reading the Book Safinatun Najah to Improve Students’ Motivation in Learning Arabic at MTs Hidayatus Syubban, Karangroto, Genuk, Semarang

Inas Umniyyah, Aliwan, Abdul Hakim — Mon, 08 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Amtsilati learning is an additional program conducted outside regular class hours to improve students’ ability to read Safinatun Najah. The Amtsilati method is a fast and practical approach to understanding basic Arabic grammatical rules (nahwu and sharaf), enabling students to read classical Islamic texts without vowel marks. Developed by Taufiqul Hakim from Pondok Pesantren Darul Falah, this method emphasizes systematic and gradual mastery of Arabic linguistic principles. This study aims to examine the implementation of the Amtsilati method in learning to read Safinatun Najah at MTs Hidayatus Syubban, describe the learning process, and identify supporting and inhibiting factors, including its impact on students’ motivation in learning Arabic. The research uses a qualitative field approach with data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis is conducted through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, while validity is ensured through triangulation of sources and methods. The findings show that learning planning includes formulating objectives, selecting materials, and determining teaching methods. The program is intended for non-boarding students using materials from Amtsilati volumes I–V, Tatimmah, Qaidah Amtsilati, and Nadzom Amtsilati, delivered through a classical classroom model. Learning activities include opening (prayer and nadzom recitation), core activities (material explanation and reading practice), and closing (evaluation and prayer). The results indicate that the method is implemented systematically and effectively, improving students’ ability to read Safinatun Najah and increasing their motivation in learning Arabic. This is reflected in students’ confidence, active participation, and willingness to advance. However, obstacles include limited teacher creativity, differences in student abilities, and discipline issues. These are addressed through training, adjusted memorization schedules, and educational sanctions.

This study aims to analyze how much the continuity of the ISMUBA in action program affects the religious literacy skills of students at MA Muhammadiyah 1 Weleri. This study uses an associative quantitative method. The data was obtained through a questionnaire filled out by 85 students at MA Muhammadiyah 1 Weleri. The sample determination technique uses the Non-Prability Sampling method. The data analysis techniques used are descriptive and inferential statistics through simple linear regression analysis to test the influence between independent and dependent variables. The results of this study show that the ISMUBA in action program has a positive impact on the religious literacy ability of students at MA Muhammadiyah 1 Weleri. The ISMUBA in action program can also be a good predictor of the rise and fall of the religious literacy skills of students at MA Muhammadiyah 1 Weleri. This research has the implication that the ISMUBA in action program and other religious programs can be an alternative to improve students' religious literacy skills.

The Early Generation of Qur’anic Exegetes in Indonesia: Intellectual Legacy, Interpretive Methodologies, and Socio Historical Context

Muhith Muhith — Tue, 26 May 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Studies on the history of Qur’anic exegesis in Indonesia have largely focused on modern figures, while the earliest generation of local exegetes remains insufficiently mapped in a systematic manner. Yet their works and interpretive approaches played a crucial role in transmitting Islamic scholarship and shaping indigenous intellectual traditions. This study aims to identify prominent early Indonesian mufassirs, examine their exegetical writings, and analyze their methodologies as well as the socio historical contexts that informed their interpretations. Employing a qualitative design with a historical-philological approach, the research is based on library study of early printed tafsirs, manuscript sources, and relevant secondary literature. Data were analyzed through thematic content analysis and comparative methodological examination. The findings indicate that early Indonesian exegetes were strongly influenced by Middle Eastern scholarly networks, while simultaneously articulating local elements through the use of Malay language, engagement with communal religious practices, and responses to colonial conditions and social change. The study concludes that early Nusantara tafsir represents a synthesis of global Islamic traditions and local realities, providing a foundational framework for the later development of Qur’anic studies in Indonesia.
