THE HISTORY OF ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION AND ITS APPLICATION IN THE DYNAMICS OF ISLAMIC EDUCATION IN THE MODERN ERA
Global social transformation and the development of science in the modern era require the Islamic education system to continuously undergo conceptual reconstruction to remain relevant to the needs of the times. In the Indonesian national context, Islamic Religious Education faces challenges in the form of social change, pluralism, and demands to strengthen moderate, rational, and contextual Islamic values ​​in the world of education. These conditions demonstrate the urgency of genealogical studies to trace the historical roots, development of thought, and conceptual transformation of Islamic Religious Education so that it can be understood comprehensively within the dynamics of contemporary Islamic education. This study aims to analyze the genealogy of Islamic Religious Education and examine its actualization in the dynamics of Islamic education in the modern era. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature study type. Data sources were obtained from books, scientific journal articles, and relevant academic documents. The data collection technique was carried out through documentation studies, while data analysis used descriptive analytical content analysis techniques. Data validity was carried out through source triangulation and strengthening reference studies. The results of the study indicate that the genealogy of Islamic Religious Education was formed through a long historical process from the classical Islamic scientific tradition to its integration into the modern education system, which was then actualized through strengthening the values ​​of moderation, integration of knowledge, and a contextual pedagogical approach. These findings provide theoretical implications for the development of Islamic Religious Education studies and practical implications for strengthening the adaptive orientation of Islamic education to changing times.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE PAPPASENG TO RIOLO SOCIODRAMA MODEL TO ENHANCE THE ACHIEVEMENT MOTIVATION OF 11TH-GRADE STUDENTS AT SMK NEGERI 2 PANGKEP
Achievement motivation is an important factor determining students' success in the learning process. Initial findings in class XI Light Vehicle Body Engineering (TBKR) at SMK Negeri 2 Pangkep show that some students have low achievement motivation, characterized by passive behavior, lack of academic responsibility, and minimal effort to achieve optimal learning outcomes. This research aims to develop a sociodrama group guidance model based on Pappaseng to Riolo as an effort to increase students' achievement motivation. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) by adapting a development model that includes needs analysis, prototype preparation, expert validation, and practicality testing. The values of local wisdom in Bugis Pappaseng to Riolo, especially the principle of resopa temmangingngi namalomo naletei pammase dewata, are integrated into the sociodrama scenario to foster hard work, responsibility, and perseverance. The results show that the developed model is in the very valid category based on expert assessment, and is considered practical to be applied in group guidance services in schools. Thus, the Pappaseng to Riolo-based sociodrama model is effective as an alternative guidance and counseling service to increase vocational students' achievement motivation.

GUIDANCE AND COUNSELLING: A QUALITATIVE APPROACH
This research is motivated by the limitations of the quantitative approach in explaining the diversity of ways in which individuals experience and understand guidance and counseling practices in the context of education management. The complexity of the experiences of counselors, practitioners, and service participants demands a methodological approach that is able to capture variations in meaning systematically. The purpose of this study is to comprehensively explain phenomenography as a qualitative research approach and analyze the theoretical foundations, methodological principles, data collection procedures, analysis techniques, and reliability criteria relevant to guidance and counseling research. This study uses a qualitative approach based on literature review by critically analyzing the main scientific works on phenomenography and examples of their application in guidance and counseling research. The results of the study show that phenomenography is effective in identifying qualitative variations in the way individuals understand counseling phenomena through the development of hierarchically interconnected description categories, so as to be able to reveal the structure of the collective meaning of a phenomenon. The conclusion of this study confirms that the phenomenographic approach has a significant methodological contribution in enriching research and practice of guidance and counseling, particularly in supporting theory development, service quality improvement, and decision-making based on a deep understanding of human experience in education management.

THE ROLE OF ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION TEACHERS IN FOSTERING VIRTUOUS CHARACTER AMONG STUDENTS IN TAKALAR REGENCY
This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in fostering students’ noble character (akhlakul karimah) in secondary schools in Takalar Regency. The research focuses on identifying teaching strategies, forms of exemplary conduct, and challenges faced by teachers in developing students’ moral character. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, using in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and open-ended questionnaires as data collection techniques. The research subjects consisted of PAI teachers, school principals, and several students selected purposively. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that PAI teachers play a crucial role as educators, moral mentors, and role models for students. Core Islamic values such as honesty, responsibility, discipline, and politeness are instilled through habituation, exemplary behavior, and contextual learning. The supportive school environment and parental involvement further reinforce students’ moral formation. However, teachers also face challenges such as the negative influence of digital media, limited time for moral instruction, and insufficient coordination between schools and families. The study concludes that the success of moral education depends significantly on teachers’ exemplary conduct and the collaborative efforts of all stakeholders. It is recommended that PAI teachers continue to develop adaptive, example-based teaching methods, while schools and parents strengthen cooperation to create a conducive educational environment for nurturing students’ Islamic character and moral integrity.

This study aims to develop and examine the practicality of the e-booklet “Aku Ada, Aku Berharga” (“I Exist, I Am Valuable”) as an educational and preventive medium to reduce self-injury behavior among students of SMP Negeri 5 Makassar. The rise in self-injury among adolescents is associated with difficulties in managing stress, social pressure, and low self-worth. Therefore, there is a need for educational, contextual, and easily accessible informational media for students. This research employed a modified Borg & Gall development model consisting of seven stages: preliminary study, initial design planning, prototype development, expert validation, product revision, limited trial, and final refinement. Data were collected through student needs questionnaires, expert validation sheets for content and media, and practicality assessments conducted by Guidance and Counseling (BK) teachers and students. The results indicate that the e-booklet achieved a “very valid” rating in terms of content, appearance, and language, and was categorized as “very practical” based on user evaluations. The e-booklet was perceived as engaging, communicative, and aligned with adolescents’ psychosocial needs. Thus, the “Aku Ada, Aku Berharga” e-booklet is feasible to be used as a preventive counseling medium to enhance students’ understanding, emotional regulation, and self-worth in efforts to prevent self-injury behavior.

ISLAMIC EDUCATION AS A MEANS OF FOSTERING ECOLOGICAL AWARENESS: A REVIEW OF ENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS IN THE QUR’AN
Ecological awareness has become an urgent necessity amid increasing environmental degradation that directly affects human quality of life. In the Islamic perspective, environmental preservation is not merely a social practice but an integral part of the education of iman (faith), Islam (practice), and ihsan (excellence), which guide humans to fulfill their responsibility as stewards (khalifah) on Earth. This study aims to examine the theological and ethical foundations within Islamic teachings that position environmental responsibility as a fundamental dimension of religious life, as well as to formulate the conceptual relationship between these three pillars and ecological behavior. Using a library research method, this study collects and analyzes various literature sources, including the Qur’an, hadith, Islamic scholarly works, and relevant scientific studies. The findings reveal that iman serves as a spiritual force that nurtures human awareness of the importance of safeguarding Allah’s creation; Islam, through its legal and ethical system, provides practical guidance for maintaining cleanliness and environmental sustainability; while ihsan encourages individuals to act virtuously and sincerely toward the environment. Together, these values form a strong moral and religious foundation for building ecological awareness. This study concludes that environmental preservation is a comprehensive expression of religious devotion, and that Islamic education holds a strategic role in fostering environmental concern rooted not only in knowledge but also in spirituality and character. Integrating the values of iman, Islam, and ihsan within educational frameworks offers a conceptual solution for developing more holistic and sustainable ecological awareness.

IMPLEMENTATION OF ISLAMIC GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING IN ADDRESSING ADOLESCENT ISSUES IN HIGH SCHOOLS
This study aims to analyze the implementation of Islamic Guidance and Counseling in addressing adolescent problems in secondary schools, focusing on the role of guidance and counseling (BK) teachers in fostering students’ Islamic character. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The subjects consisted of BK teachers, school principals, and students at MA Muhammadiyah Salaka, Takalar Regency. The findings reveal that the Islamic guidance and counseling program is implemented through two main forms: Islamic guidance, emphasizing religious activities such as Qur’an learning and congregational prayers, and Islamic counseling, conducted in both group and individual settings. The program positively contributes to improving students’ moral awareness, discipline, and sense of responsibility. However, several challenges remain, including limited counseling facilities, the lack of professional counselors, and negative perceptions of BK services among students. The study concludes that the success of Islamic guidance and counseling depends largely on teachers’ exemplary conduct, school support, and parental involvement in character development. Therefore, it is recommended that schools enhance professional training for BK teachers, improve counseling facilities, and strengthen collaboration among schools, parents, and communities to create a conducive educational environment for nurturing students’ Islamic values and moral integrity.

The aim of this research is to determine the process of internalizing Islamic spiritual intelligence values ​​through the study of the Hadith book Arba'in An-Nawawi. So that students can analyze and evaluate indicators of achievement of both supporting and inhibiting factors in the internalization of spiritual intelligence. Internalization is an effort made by educators to produce students by developing high spiritual intelligence. Spirituality in question includes faith, character (characterization), morals, faith, Islam, ihsan. However, in reality the values ​​that are internalized to obtain spiritual competence have not been able to change the character of mahasantri as a whole. This research was carried out at Ma'had Al-Jami'ah, Raden Fatah State Islamic University, Palembang, which was the object of research and made Mr Mudir, teacher of the Arba'in Hadith book and Mahasantri as the subject of this research. The result of internalizing this is so that it can be integrated into the value of ukhuwwah, such as goodness that is rooted in the mahasantri individual. This research used a descriptive qualitative method conducted at Ma'had Al-Jami'ah, Raden Fatah State Islamic University, Palembang. The data collection techniques are observation, interviews and documentation. In conclusion, fulfilling the spiritual intelligence that has been taught through the study of the Hadith book Arba'in An-Nawawi has a positive impact on many things, one of which is regarding the faith and piety of mahasantri.

OPTIMIZING HUMAN RESOURCES THROUGH THE NOTEBOOKLM TRAINING PROGRAM: TRANSFORMING ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION AT MTSN 1 PALEMBANG
A NEUROLINGUISTIC APPROACH TO ADDRESSING STUDENTS’ DIFFICULTIES IN ARABIC MORPHOLOGY (SHOROF) : A CASE STUDY AT STAINU KOTABUMI LAMPUNG
This study aims to examine the application of a neurolinguistic approach in overcoming students' difficulties in shorof learning at STAINU Kotabumi. Students encounter significant challenges in memorizing, recognizing derivation patterns, and applying Arabic morphological rules, particularly tashrif patterns, in their daily speaking and writing practices. This study employs a qualitative case study design, with Arabic shorof lecturers and students enrolled in shorof courses serving as informants. Data were collected through classroom observation and in-depth interviews, then analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The findings reveal that the neurolinguistic approach assists students in comprehending shorof learning through the optimization of brain functions in language processing. The reinforcement of the nervous system in linguistic aspects is capable of integrating the brain's role in shorof learning across cognitive, affective, and psychomotor dimensions. The application of neurolinguistic strategies, including multi-sensory learning techniques and repetition-based memory reinforcement, proved effective in facilitating students' mastery of tashrif patterns while simultaneously enhancing their motivation and active engagement throughout the learning process. Thus, the neurolinguistic approach as a pedagogical alternative in Arabic morphology learning is capable of maximizing students' potential through the optimization of brain functions. This approach has broad implications for the development of Arabic language learning in Islamic higher education, particularly in strengthening shorof studies in a more systematic and sustainable manner.

INFANT DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES AS A FOUNDATION FOR THE FORMATION OF ISLAMIC EDUCATIONAL VALUES
Infancy is a golden as well as critical period in human life that significantly determines physical, intellectual, social, emotional, moral, and religious development. This developmental process begins during the prenatal period and progresses rapidly within the first two years of life, marked by the maturation of the nervous system, brain, and essential bodily functions. At this stage, infants are highly responsive to environmental stimulation, particularly parental interaction, caregiving patterns, and role modeling as the first form of education. From an Islamic educational perspective, infancy serves as a crucial foundation for instilling values of faith, morality, and spirituality through habituation, a religious atmosphere, and exemplary behavior. Early Islamic education is not limited to cognitive development but also emphasizes affective and psychomotor dimensions to shape a child’s character holistically. This study employs a literature review method with a descriptive-analytical approach to relevant scholarly sources on infant development and Islamic education. The findings indicate that optimal infant development requires an integrated approach encompassing physical, intellectual, socio-emotional, moral, and religious aspects. Therefore, Islamic education during infancy plays a strategic role in forming a strong foundation for a child’s personality, moral character, and spiritual growth, preparing them for subsequent stages of development.

SCHOOL FACILITY AND MANAGEMENT IN INDONESIA: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW OF AVAILABILITY, CHALLENGES AND SUSTAINABILITY
School facility play an important role in supporting educational quality, student wellbeing, and learning effectiveness. However, challenges related to the availability, management, and sustainability of educational facilities remain evident in many Indonesian school. This study aims to systematically review previous studies on school facility availability and management in Indonesia using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The review followed the PRISMA framework through the stages of identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion. Literature searches were conducted using four databases, namely Scopus, Google Scholar, ERIC, and ProQuest. A total 0f 12 studies underwent the quality appraisal process using an adapted version of the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklist, in which three low-quality studies were excluded, resulting in nine studies in the final thematic synthesis. The findings indicate that school facilities in Indonesia continue to face challenges related to infrastructure disparities, inadequate sanitation and learning facilities, weak maintenance practices, and disaster-related vulnerabilities, particularly in border, disaster-prone, and underserved areas. The review also reveals that school facility management practices remain largely operational and fragmented, focusing primarily on maintenance, utilization, supervision, and budgeting process. In addition, school facilities were found to influence students’ learning experiences, well-being, literacy engagement, and participation in educational activities. Overall, this study highlights the importance of strengthening sustainable facility management systems, equitable infrastructure development, and resilience-oriented educational policies to support safe, inclusive, and effective learning environments in Indonesia.

THE REVITALIZATION OF ISLAMIC ART IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION BASED ON CULTURAL VALUES
The revitalization of Islamic art in the development of culturally value-based Islamic Religious Education (ISRE) has become a strategic issue in a global context marked by cultural homogenization and an identity crisis, as well as in a national context facing the challenges of value degradation and minimal integration of local culture into learning. The urgency of this study lies in the need to present an approach to Islamic Religious Education that is contextual, humanistic, and adaptive to cultural diversity. This research aims to analyze the role of Islamic art as a medium for revitalizing cultural values ​​in the development of ISRE and its contribution to the formation of student character. The methodology employed a qualitative approach with literature studies, sourced from books, scientific articles, and relevant documents, and data collection through documentation. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and analytically through reduction, categorization, and interpretation. Data validity was maintained through source triangulation and diligent observation. The results indicate that Islamic art has integrative potential in internalizing aesthetic, spiritual, and social values ​​that strengthen cultural identity. These implications provide theoretical contributions to the development of the concept of culture based ISRE, as well as practical contributions to contextual learning innovations relevant to the dynamics of contemporary education and the needs of Indonesia's current multicultural society.

TAKE AND GIVE STRATEGY AS A CHARACTER EDUCATION MODEL TO REDUCE BULLYING IN AISYIYAH BUSTANUL ATHFAL KINDERGARTEN
This study examines the Take and Give strategy as a character education model for mitigating mild bullying indicators in early childhood at TK Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal Tegalrejo. Grounded in Lickona's character education theory and Vygotsky's sociocultural perspective, the research addresses the gap between institutional character values and children's developing social behaviors. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews with the principal and teacher, direct classroom observations, and document analysis. Findings reveal that mild bullying manifestations—such as teasing, reluctance to share, and object-snatching—reflect children's social-emotional developmental challenges rather than intentional aggression. The Take and Give strategy, implemented through structured peer exchanges of cards, objects, and information, effectively cultivates prosocial behaviors including sharing, cooperation, empathy, and respectful communication. Children demonstrated increased willingness to share, enhanced peer interaction, and reduced tendencies toward teasing following strategy implementation. Success factors include institutional alignment with character education goals, consistent teacher scaffolding, and integration within the school's cultural framework. While some children require continued individualized support, the strategy offers a simple, cost-effective, and contextually grounded approach for fostering positive social development. This study contributes to early childhood character education research by repositioning Take and Give from an active learning technique to a pedagogical instrument for bullying prevention through repeated, meaningful social experiences.

THE ROLE OF SUBJECT TEACHER DELIBERATION IN IMPROVING THE COMPETENCY OF ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION TEACHERS AT SYARIF HIDAYATULLAH SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
This study aims to examine the role of the Islamic Education Subject Teacher Consultative Forum (MGMP PAI) in enhancing teacher competencies at SMA Syarif Hidayatullah Cirebon. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The informants comprised five participants, including three core administrators and two active MGMP PAI members. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that MGMP PAI plays a strategic role in improving teachers' four core competencies—pedagogical, professional, social, and personality. This enhancement is achieved through various collaborative programs such as workshops, scientific discussions, lesson plan development, and evaluation training. The success of these programs is supported by strong member commitment, government policies, and institutional backing. However, several significant obstacles persist, including time constraints, funding limitations, and technological gaps among teachers. In conclusion, MGMP PAI serves as an effective and strategic platform for the continuous professional development of senior high school PAI teachers, although it requires enhanced active participation and technological adaptation for more optimal outcomes.

THE EFFECT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ON CRITICAL THINKING IN STUDENT LEARNING
The increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education has the potential to influence students’ critical thinking skills. This study aimed to examine the effect of artificial intelligence on the critical thinking skills of students in the Islamic Guidance and Counseling Study Program at Universitas Islam Negeri Sumatera Utara and to compare the tendency of this effect between the 2022 and 2025 cohorts. This study employed a quantitative explanatory design. The population consisted of 114 active students from the 2022 and 2025 cohorts, all of whom were included as respondents using saturated sampling. Data were collected through a four-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using simple linear regression. The research instrument met the validity criteria and demonstrated very high reliability, with a Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.925. The findings revealed that artificial intelligence had a positive and significant effect on students’ critical thinking skills, with a regression coefficient of 0.526, a t-value of 7.814, and a significance value of 0.000. The coefficient of determination of 0.347 indicated that artificial intelligence explained 34.7% of the variance in students’ critical thinking skills. Cohort-based analysis showed that the effect of AI was stronger among the 2022 cohort (R^2 = 0.243) than the 2025 cohort (R^2 = 0.104). These findings indicate that AI can support critical thinking when it is used actively to explore information, evaluate responses, compare perspectives, and construct arguments. Therefore, AI integration in Islamic Guidance and Counseling learning should be implemented critically, reflectively, ethically, and in ways that preserve students’ independent learning.

EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCE AND THE ON-AND-OFF PHENOMENON: A CASE STUDY OF EARLY ADULT COLLEGE STUDENTS' DATING RELATIONSHIPS
This study aims to understand emotional dependency in dating relationships and its association with the on-and-off relationship phenomenon among students of Islamic Guidance and Counseling (Bimbingan dan Penyuluhan Islam), cohort 2022. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design involving students who have experienced and are currently in on-and-off relationships. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings indicate that partners are perceived as the primary source of emotional support, security, and a place to share problems. Strong emotional attachment makes individuals feel comfortable with their partners, but also leads to anxiety when attention or communication decreases. This condition encourages individuals to maintain the relationship despite frequent conflicts, resulting in an on-and-off relationship pattern. The study shows that emotional dependency plays a role in sustaining unstable relationship dynamics among students.

INTERNALIZATION OF THE VALUE OF USWATUN HASANAH AMONG PROSPECTIVE ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION TEACHERS: AN ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF SPIRITUAL SELF-EFFICACY AND THE TAZKIYATUN NAFS STRATEGY
This study aims to analyze the internal mechanisms that shape exemplary behavior (Uswatun Hasanah) among prospective Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teacher students. Using a mixed methods approach with a Concurrent Triangulation design, this study integrates a quantitative analysis of the influence of Spiritual Self-Efficacy on Modeling Behavior with a qualitative exploration of Tazkiyatun Nafs (purification of the soul) strategies. The results of the quantitative analysis indicate a very strong and significant relationship (r = 0.987; p < 0.01) between spiritual self-efficacy and exemplary behavior, with an R-squared value of 0.974, indicating that 97.4% of the variation in exemplary behavior can be explained by spiritual self-efficacy. Qualitative findings reveal that the Tazkiyatun Nafs strategy, through the phases of Takhalli (purification from vile traits), Tahalli (adornment with virtuous traits), and Tajalli (attainment of spiritual closeness), functions as a strengthening path that transforms abstract beliefs into authentic, concrete actions. The synergy between Bandura’s social cognitive theory and Al-Ghazali’s Sufi concepts affirms that the formation of the Uswatun Hasanah character is an inside-out process, in which internal spiritual strength is the primary determinant of PAI teachers’ professional integrity.

REINTERPRETING THE VALUE OF “RAHMATAN LIL ALAMIN” IN ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION AMID A GLOBAL GEOPOLITICAL CRISIS
The global geopolitical crisis, marked by armed conflict, ideological polarization, and increasing global intolerance, poses serious challenges for education in instilling humanitarian and peace values. In the Indonesian national context, the phenomena of radicalism, religious exclusivism, and the weak internalization of moderate religious values ​​indicate that Islamic Religious Education needs to be reactualized to present Islamic teachings as a blessing for all nature. Therefore, a study of the reactualization of the Rahmatan Lil Alamin value in Islamic Religious Education is crucial as an effort to strengthen an inclusive, humanistic, and civilized educational orientation. This study aims to analyze the concept, strategy, and relevance of the reactualization of the Rahmatan Lil Alamin value in Islamic Religious Education amidst the dynamics of the global geopolitical crisis. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature review. Data sources come from the Quran, Hadith, scientific books, journal articles, and relevant academic documents. Data were collected through documentation techniques, analyzed using content analysis and thematic analysis, and validated through source triangulation and diligent literature review. The results of this study indicate that the reactualization of the Rahmatan Lil Alamin value in Islamic Religious Education can be achieved through strengthening the paradigm of religious moderation, integrating universal humanitarian values ​​into the curriculum, and developing dialogic and contextual learning practices. The implications of this research confirm its theoretical contribution to the development of an Islamic Religious Education paradigm oriented toward global peace, as well as its practical contribution to strengthening students' inclusive character in facing global geopolitical dynamics.

THE RELEVANCE OF THE TAISIRUL KARIMIR RAHMAN COMMENTARY TO STRENGTHENING SYNERGY BETWEEN PARENTS AND EDUCATORS IN ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
This study aims to analyze the educational concepts presented in Taisir al-Karim ar-Rahman, the Qur’anic exegesis of Shaykh Abdurrahman bin Nasir As-Sa’di, and to examine their relevance to strengthening the synergy between parents and educators in Islamic Religious Education (PAI). The study is motivated by the insufficient integration of Islamic values between home and school environments, which often results in discontinuity in students’ religious internalization. Employing a qualitative approach through library research, this study examines As-Sa’di’s exegetical ideas and supports them with empirical studies on family–school collaboration. The findings indicate that As-Sa’di emphasizes two foundational pillars of Islamic education: the family as the primary institution responsible for instilling faith and moral character, and the educator as the guide who reinforces religious knowledge and teaches with wisdom. The synergy between these two pillars is viewed as a critical prerequisite for the success of Islamic education, particularly in curricula that balance the components of faith, worship, ethics, and social conduct. This study concludes that the synergy model derived from As-Sa’di’s tafsir offers a strong normative framework for developing holistic and character-oriented Islamic education.

THE CONCEPT OF INTEGRAL EDUCATION IN THE QUR'AN, SURAH AL-BAQARAH, VERSES 30–32: A STUDY OF AL-MANAR'S TAFSIR ON THE VERSES CONCERNING TARBIYAH
This study aims to analyze the integration of educational concepts in Tafsir Al-Manar with reference to Surah Al-Baqarah verses 30–32 and to explore their implications for the development of a love-based curriculum. These verses contain fundamental educational values concerning the creation of humankind as khalifah (vicegerent) on earth, the process of imparting knowledge, and the acknowledgment of human limitations before the Creator. This study employed a qualitative method using a library research approach. Data were collected from primary sources, namely Tafsir Al-Manar and the Qur'an, particularly Surah Al-Baqarah verses 30–32, as well as secondary sources, including theses, books, and scholarly journal articles related to Islamic education, educational exegesis, and love-based curriculum. The findings reveal that the integration of educational concepts in Tafsir Al-Manar concerning Surah Al-Baqarah verses 30–32 has four major implications for the development of a love-based curriculum. First, it emphasizes the spiritual dimension as the foundation of education. Second, it promotes the balanced development of reason and knowledge. Third, it fosters the formation of moral and spiritual character. Fourth, it strengthens harmonious relationships among human beings and with the environment. The love-based curriculum derived from the perspective of Tafsir Al-Manar integrates love for Allah, love for knowledge, love for fellow human beings, and love for the natural environment as the foundational principles of a holistic educational process.

METHODS FOR INTERNALIZING THE VALUES OF FAITH AND PIETY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE JALALAIN TAFSIR IN ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION IN THE DIGITAL AGE
Digital transformation has significantly shifted how learners access and internalize religious values, requiring innovative approaches to Islamic Religious Education (PAI). This study analyzes the concepts of īman and taqwa in Tafsir Jalalain and formulates a value internalization model contextualized for PAI learning in the digital era. Using qualitative library research supported by limited field observation, this study examines Jalalain’s interpretation of selected Qur’anic verses and synthesizes contemporary Islamic education literature. Findings indicate that Jalalain emphasizes faith in the unseen, discipline in worship, self-control, and moral habituation. These principles are adapted into a digital learning framework through multimedia-based tadabbur, Qur’anic admonition, digital role modeling, application-based worship habituation, and electronic self-reflection. The study proposes the “I-Taqwa Jalalain Model” as an integrative strategy for internalizing Islamic values through technology-enhanced learning. This model strengthens the pedagogic relevance of classical tafsir in shaping student religiosity within modern technological ecosystems.
