The Need for Social Training of Students on Islamic Ground: A Study of Contemporary Challenges

Abstract

In an era marked by rapid societal changes, globalization, and the proliferation of information, the social training of students on Islamic grounds has become a subject of paramount importance. This study delves into the critical examination of the challenges faced by students in contemporary society, emphasizing the need for a proactive approach to address these challenges through social training rooted in Islamic principles. The study employs a qualitative research methodology, whereas the data was collected through semi-structured interviews with a total number of ten respondents. Two interview schedules were designed: one for formal school principals and madrasa heads and another for parents of the students. The collected data were purged from the redundancy and then thematically analyzed. This study revealed that a unified effort to prioritize the social training of students on Islamic grounds is a means to empower them with the tools needed to navigate the complexities of the modern world. Only through a holistic and well-informed approach to education can the values of compassion, tolerance, and understanding help to guide the hearts and minds of future generations, which will ultimately lead to fostering a more peaceful and harmonious world.
