Distributing Zakatu Kasbil 'Amal as an Alternative to Student Funding, Evidence in Indonesia’s Universities

Background The purpose of this paper is to clarify the use of zakat as an alternative funding for students to pay their tuition fees. Apart from that, this paper also explains how zakat collected from muzakki fixed income known as zakatu kasbil 'amal, which is known as income zakat and is still controversial in Indonesia. Method The study uses a systematic literature review with an inductive approach to find out the theoretical basis of the research questions. The analysis uses a qualitative method that explores significant findings from various literature sources. The findings will combine with the exploration results of several universities in Indonesia that use social funds as a tool for helping students. Result The income zakat controversy mediates using the precautionary principle, which ensures that the projected income indeed exceeds the nisab (1 year) of the income. Some Islamic universities in Indonesia carry out this zakat withdrawal and even use an auto debit system. On the other hand, the distribution of zakat to students is also controversial because zakat is part of worship whose distribution is regulated into nine asnaf. Nevertheless, students may be equated with one of the asnaf so that it becomes permissible to be the subject of zakat distribution. Observation findings at Indonesian Islamic universities even show that the results of zakat distribution strongly influence the success of students’ studies, even if only in aid of tuition fees.

Investigating Students’ Writing Performance and Attitude Towards a Web 2.0-Based Flipped Classroom Instruction

One of the methods gaining popularity in the context of teaching in recent years is flipped classroom instruction (FCI). The FCI encourages EFL learners to maximize their time away from class by using products of advanced technologies. Owing to this fact, the researchers conducted a study on the issue of Students’ writing performance and their attitudes about the use of technology. A mixed-method study was used to investigate students’ writing achievement and their attitudes to web-based instruction in the form of Flipped classroom instruction. Quantitative data was collected through survey questionnaires, while qualitative data was gained from interviews. The investigation on flipped classroom instruction was conducted at three State Islamic Universities in Indonesia. The questionnaires were distributed to EFL students at these three State Islamic universities to identify students’ experience in learning writing by using flipped classroom instruction. There were 198 students involved in this research. Also, twelve English lecturers from those three universities were interviewed. Findings suggested that most students had a positive attitude toward flipped classroom instruction. Although flipped classroom interaction does not guarantee the improvement of students’ writing performance, it is believed that flipped classroom instruction supports students to have a meaningful and effective learning experience.

Strategic Policy Towards a World-Class University: An Indonesian Islamic University Experience

A world-class university is a primary goal of most universities, including Islamic universities in Indonesia. Research about a strategic policy of universities toward a world-class university (WCU) has been conducted. However, few researchers have explored the strategic policy of Islamic universities to achieve world-class status, particularly in Indonesia. Responding to the gap, this research aims to examine the strategic policy implemented by an Islamic university in Indonesia (i.e., UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta) toward a world-class university. In addition, this research also reveals potential challenges encountered by the university in becoming a world-class university. This research employed a case study design involving selected three informants: (1) the head of quality assurance of UIN Sunan Kaliaga Yogyakarta; (2) an expert in strategic policy of higher education; and (3) an expert of policy and management in higher education. An in-depth interview and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) were conducted with the informants to gather the required data. The findings depicted that UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta has implemented several indicators of a world-class university, such as designing an international curriculum, building partnerships with international universities, and organizing international standardized programs of human resources development. However, the university also encountered several challenges, such as a lack of internationally reputable professors, a lack of international students, and a lack of independence in terms of facility and financial issues. In conclusion, UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta has not been recognized as a world-class university, but it is continuously developing toward a world-class status. This research offers both theoretical and practical contributions to developing Islamic universities in Indonesia toward a world-class university.

Madrasah Diniyah and Ma'had Al-Jami'ah-Based Religious Moderation Policy in State Islamic University in Indonesia

This article seeks to elaborate the ma’had al-jami’ah-based religious moderation policy at UIN Sayyid Ali Rahmatullah Tulungagung. This issue is interesting because religious moderation is a government policy that must be implemented by government institutions, including Islamic religious universities. The problem is that there are no nationally formal technical-operational guidelines for implementation so each tertiary institution has an interpretation for making policies to strengthen religious moderation by their respective contexts and considerations. The current study used in this article is qualitative with data mining techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. The data that has been obtained is then analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldańa model which divides the stages of data analysis into data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion. This article argues that UIN Sayyid Ali Rahmatullah made interesting policies for religious moderation in the form of madrasah diniyah and ma’had al-jami’ah learning policies. Madrasah diniyah and ma’had al-jami’ah are designed not only as an activity to provide religious knowledge to students but also as a strategy for internalizing religious moderation and prevention of radicalism ideology.

Islamization of Knowledge of Ismail Raji Faruqi: Integration-Interconnection to the Contextualization of Indonesian Science

<p>This article discusses the concept of Islamization of knowledge promoted by Ismail Raji Faruqi. This concept aims to defeat secularism that blinds Muslims and brings misfortune. The spread of secularism has encouraged Muslims to make concessions to what the West offers them. Therefore, reading the Islamization of knowledge in the context of scientific integration-interconnection becomes essential to raise awareness among Muslims who are considered to glorify secular science so that people are too far from the concept of tawhid (monotheism). This research used a literature review method through several textual sources related to the topic discussed, primarily Faruqi's work entitled "Islamization of Knowledge," and secondary in the form of similar articles on the theme of Islamization of knowledge. Then, it is to consider the aims and objectives of the Islamization of knowledge, linking it with the concept of integration-interconnection, and considering the contextualization of the Islamization of knowledge in the Indonesian science. The results of this paper are as follows: Islamization of knowledge becomes an inclusive concept if we consider the existence of two disciplines. As a Muslim scientist, the realm of Islamization of knowledge must be imprinted in him to achieve the ideals of Islam. Islamization of knowledge is closely related to integration-interconnection, namely integrating sciences without legitimizing that one science with another cannot be merged. Islamization of knowledge is also a step in creating an Islamic civilization in the world of science. In the context of Indonesia, the Islamization of knowledge can be seen in the concept of science integration in several Islamic universities in Indonesia which has different concepts, but the same essence. The purpose of Faruqi's thought is to demand Muslims to be creative.</p>
