The Rationalism and Empiricism in the Islamic Perspective and Their Relevance to Islamic Education

2024-10-12T10:39:56+00:00

Islamic education faces the challenge of balancing various sources of knowledge, including rationalism, empiricism and revelation. Rationalism emphasizes reason as the primary means of acquiring knowledge, while empiricism relies on sensory experience. Islam recognizes both approaches, but places revelation as the highest foundation. The lack of balance in the application of these three elements can have an impact on the quality of Islamic education. This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method to examine the thoughts of Muslim figures such as Al-Farabi, Ibn Sina, and Al-Ghazali. They offer a synthesis between rationalism, empiricism and revelation in building a holistic education system. The results show that the balance between reason, experience and revelation is an important foundation for the development of Islamic education. With proper integration, Islamic education can accommodate the development of science and technology without neglecting spiritual values. The findings confirm that the harmonization of these three elements is the main key in improving the quality of Islamic education in the modern era.

Siyasah Al-Manahij Al-Wathaniyah: 1968 wa 1975 fi Ta'lim Al-Lughah Al-'Arabiyah

2024-12-20T16:27:18+00:00

In the mid-20th century, Indonesia underwent significant changes in politics, economy, and society, which greatly impacted the national education system. During the New Order era, education was considered a strategic tool for achieving national goals, including economic development and political stability. This study aims to consider the implementation and effectiveness of the 1968 and 1975 curricula in Arabic language learning in Indonesia. The 1968 curriculum was enacted as part of the post-G30S/PKI national policy, with an emphasis on strengthening the Pancasila ideology and basic mastery of Arabic. Five years later, the 1975 curriculum was enacted with a more flexible and student-based approach, adapting education to the development of science as well as social and economic needs. This research uses a qualitative approach with library research methods. Data were collected by documenting educational policies, official curriculum documents, and related academic studies. The results showed that the 1968 curriculum was more structural by emphasizing the mastery of grammar and vocabulary, while the 1975 curriculum was more interactive by incorporating cultural and religious aspects in Arabic language teaching. However, both curricula are faced with challenges in their implementation, such as limited resources and the readiness of teaching staff. Thus, this study provides insights into the development of Arabic language education policy in Indonesia and its implications for future curriculum development.

Kitab Al-Furuq, which translates to ‘several differences’ in Indonesian, is one of the works of KH. Zainal Abidin Munawwir from the Al-Munawwir Islamic boarding school in Krapyak, Yogyakarta. It consists of 39 chapters across 60 pages, discussing differences in several Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) rulings related to worship practices. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method, using translational, comparative, and interpretative approaches. The analysis identified 54 instances of ellipsis cohesion, consisting of 27 nominal ellipses, 8 verbal ellipses, and 19 clausal ellipses. Ellipsis in the source language, Arabic, when translated into the target language, Indonesian, results in different types, forms, and meanings. This variation occurs due to the distinct linguistic characteristics of Arabic and Indonesian. These ellipsis findings contribute to making both the source and target texts more concise, dense, and efficient while avoiding word repetition.

However, its implementation still faces challenges, such as educators' limited understanding, language barriers, social changes, and a lack of policy and curriculum support. Additionally, existing studies predominantly focus on children's education, while the application of Tarbawi exegesis in lifelong learning and the digital era remains underexplored. Therefore, further research is needed to develop more effective and relevant methods to address the challenges of Islamic education in the modern era.

Integrating QUIZIZZ into Arabic Language Teaching: Uses and Educational Implications

2025-04-07T12:51:11+00:00

The development of digital technology, although encouraging the adoption of gamification-based platforms in education, has not yet seen much research conducted to determine their effectiveness and challenges in Arabic language learning. Quizzes are one of the more popular platforms, currently offering real-time scoring and leaderboards as part of the learning experience. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the motivation, effectiveness, and challenges in using Quizizz for Arabic language learning at MAN 1 Cirebon. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method involving five students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. The research results show that the use of Quizizz can enhance student motivation through competitive elements, enrich subject understanding in a more enjoyable way, and create activity in the classroom environment. However, there are serious challenges such as limited internet access, data quotas, imperfect devices, and time constraints as obstacles in its implementation. The implication of this research is that the integration of gamification platforms must also consider the readiness in terms of technological infrastructure and the psychological factors of learners to achieve the best results in education. Recommendations in this study include enhancing flexible features and exploring more interactive platforms to adapt to the needs and characteristics of students in different learning contexts.

From Narration to Interpretation: Mapping Hadith Functions in Tafsir al-Dur al-Manthur (Surah al-Fatihah Case)

2025-05-18T01:31:34+00:00

This study investigates the use of hadith in Al-Dur al-Manthur fi Tafsir bi al-Ma'thur by Imam Suyuti, a classical tafsir that applies the al-athari method by relying heavily on narrations from the Prophet Muhammad, his Companions, and the Tabi'in. The main issue addressed in this research is the absence of a detailed classification or mapping of how these hadiths are utilized within the commentary, which causes the tafsir to appear as a compilation of narrations rather than a critical analysis of the Qur'anic content. The purpose of this study is to classify the types of hadith based on their functional roles in the interpretation of verses, using Surah al-Fatihah as the primary focus.The research employs a qualitative method with data gathered through literature review. The primary data source is Al-Dur al-Manthur, while secondary sources include scholarly books and journal articles relevant to Qur'anic exegesis and hadith studies. The analytical approach is descriptive-analytical, aiming to identify patterns and categorize hadith usage. The findings reveal that hadiths in this tafsir serve seven distinct purposes: explaining alternative names of a surah, indicating the location of revelation, describing the benefits and virtues of a surah, providing explicit interpretations of verses, highlighting qira'at variations, and elaborating on legal implications. This study contributes to the field of Qur'anic interpretation by offering a structured framework for understanding how hadith is functionally employed in one of the most renowned traditional commentaries.
