Memahami Tujuan Pendidikan Islam, Multi, Inter dan Transdisipliner

This paper discusses understanding the purpose of Islamic education in a multi, inter and transdisciplinary approach. This issue is very urgent, given the importance of understanding the teachings of Islam in a comprehensive manner. Islam as a religion does not only teach the realm of ubudiyah, but also mu'amalah. It is in the realm of mu'amalah that humanity is faced with the complexity of life problems that must be resolved. Especially in modern times like today, an approach from various scientific angles is needed. This research is in the form of library research with a qualitative descriptive approach. After the study, it is concluded that Islamic education is not just a transfer of knowledge, but also a holistic process that forms individuals with noble character. In the context of an increasingly advanced life, Islamic education as a scientific discipline cannot stand alone in solving problems in society. There is a need for multi, inter and transdisciplinary science, so scientific integration here is very necessary.

Pendampingan Penguasaan Aplikasi Website dan Sistem PPDB Online

The Islamic Education Foundation faced serious challenges in IT infrastructure, which led to a lack of access to information as well as a new student admission process that was still done manually. This condition not only hampers administrative efficiency, but also reduces the interest of prospective students to register. To overcome these problems, the development of an official website and online PPDB system is a strategic step that aims to increase transparency and accessibility of information. A Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, which involves the active participation of the entire service team in problem identification to solution implementation, was used to ensure the success of the project. The results of the programme showed significant improvements in administrative efficiency. The developed website serves as an effective information platform, while the online new student database system speeds up and simplifies the registration process. Training for staff and students also improved their IT skills, which had a positive impact on social change within the organisation. The application of technology in this educational context proved crucial in improving service quality and operational efficiency, making this programme a model that can be adopted by other educational institutions facing similar challenges in the digital age.

Integration of Artificial Intelligence in Islamic Higher Education: Comparative Responses between Indonesia and Thailand

This study aims to compare the responses of Islamic Universities in Indonesia and Thailand to the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in Islamic education learning. This comparative qualitative research collected data from in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and analysis of relevant documents at UIN Walisongo Semarang (Indonesia) and Darul Maarif Islamic College Patani (Thailand). The collected data were analyzed thematically using triangulation, member checking, and audit trail validation models. The findings of this study show similarities and differences; both institutions have not specifically incorporated AI into the formal curriculum as a course, only integrating it implicitly in the hidden curriculum such as research, workshops, and seminars. Indonesian Islamic universities view AI as an important tool for modernizing Islamic education, especially in distance learning and the digitalization of Qur'anic teaching. In contrast, although AI is not explicitly banned in Thailand, there are concerns about its impact on the role of traditional teachers and Islamic cultural values. Regarding ethics, Indonesian students are less likely to consider the potential bias of AI towards Islamic religious information. In contrast, Thai students are more wary of the impact of technology on their religious values. Mastery of AI technology also showed significant differences, with Indonesian students being more advanced.

TABARRUJ: SAYYID QUTHB'S PERSPECTIVE IN TAFSIR FI ZHILAL AL-QUR’AN

This study focuses on the concept of Tabarruj as interpreted by Sayyid Quthb in his Tafsir fi Zhilal al-Qur’an. The research explores the essence, existence, and impact of Tabarruj from Quthb's perspective, offering an in-depth analysis of how this concept is related to faith, social behavior, and gender roles in Islam.

To guarantee that the module positively influences students' abilities to read and write the Al-Qur'an, socialization, and module execution are equally crucial.

MODERNIZATION OF ISLAMIC EDUCATION LECTURE AT ISLAMIC HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN CONTEMPORARY INDONESIA

This study aims to analyze the modernization of Islamic education literature at state Islamic universities in North Sumatra, in relation to efforts to increase students’ Islamic knowledge. This research follows a qualitative method, with a case study approach. The results revealed that the use of literature in the lecture process in general does not fully use Islamic-based literature. This can be seen from the Islamic education sources included in the lecturer’s course plan. It is found that there are three main efforts to modernize Islamic literature in the Islamic Education Study Program of PTKIN North Sumatra, namely (1) regulation, (2) development and updating references, literature content, and Islamicizing literature, as well as increasing the ability of lecturers and students, (3) innovation or the use of technology. Opportunities for modernization in increasing the scientific treasures of PAI (Islamic Education) study program students can be seen from the motivation, competence, resources and cooperation established. But there are also obstacles, namely internal obstacles, related to the lack of competence, attitude and campus facilities. External obstacles are related to the influence of journal trends and the dominance of western science. This research has novelty in the form of recommendations for a list of Islamic education lectures that are relevant in the modern era, guidelines for writing teaching materials based on Islamic lectures, and initiation of the formation of Islamic lectures research centres in Islamic universities.
