Digital Quality Management in Islamic Education: A Framework for E-Learning Integrity and Religious Value Internalization

Rois Mahmudi, Siti Aimah — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to analyze and develop a Digital Quality Management (DQM) framework for Islamic Educational Institutions to improve the quality of e-learning while strengthening the internalization of religious values. Using a qualitative case study approach, data was obtained through in-depth interviews with research subjects, including leaders of Islamic educational institutions, heads of curriculum departments, e-learning managers, teachers and students, participant observation, and documentation of policies, quality guidelines, academic reports, and digital archives. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, including reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, with validity ensured through triangulation of sources, methods, and observers. The results of the study formulated four pillars of digital quality management: the integration of uswah hasanah values in cyber risk management, the role of tafaqquh fiddin as a digital literacy strategy for students, the “sunnah fasting-based independent time audit” model for device self-regulation, and the effectiveness of “double certification” in ensuring teacher academic integrity. This research contributes practical operational guidelines for Islamic schools to ensure that technology functions as a reinforcement of religious identity, not merely as an administrative tool. Overall, this digital quality management framework holistically integrates the dimensions of technology, quality management, and Islamic values to address digital transformation in Islamic educational institutions.

Putri Nur Indah Elviana, Ahmad Azkal Azkiya’ — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The purpose of this study is to analyze how the implementation of servant leadership by madrasah principals can effectively encourage teacher collaboration while improving student academic learning outcomes. This study employed a qualitative approach, utilizing a single case study. Data were collected through in-depth interviews (with the principal, deputy principal for curriculum, senior teachers, administrative staff, homeroom teachers, and students) with 15 informants, participant observation, and documentation including the annual work plan, minutes of teacher coordination meetings, and a recapitulation of student report card grades. Data analysis was carried out through reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions from documents including the annual work plan, minutes of teacher coordination meetings, and a recapitulation of student report card grades. The results show that the principal of one of the Islamic schools applies servant leadership based on spiritual and Islamic principles. Its five pillars (spiritual exemplarity, Islamic empathy, teacher innovation empowerment, Khādimul Ma'had Stewardship, and active hearing) transform the madrasah. This leadership fosters collaboration, integrity, and loyalty, which have been proven to improve student discipline and academic achievement. The contribution of this study is to present a contextual and applicable Servant Leadership model within a spiritual framework (Islamic exemplarity and Khādimul Ma'had Stewardship) in Islamic educational institutions.

The Practice of Khuruj Fisabilillah in Shaping the Religious Character of Youth in Jama’ah Tabligh: A Living Qur’an Study

M. Ihsan, Hery Sahputra — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study addresses the limited scope of Living Qur’an research that explores khuruj fi sabilillah as a medium for the internalization of Qur’anic values in shaping the religious character of youth. The research aims to examine the understanding of Jama’ah Tabligh youth in an Indonesian community regarding the practice of khuruj fi sabilillah, to identify the Qur’anic values received and internalized through this practice, and to explain the supporting and constraining factors in the formation of religious character. Employing a qualitative method with a descriptive-interpretative approach within the Living Qur’an framework, data were collected through in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and documentation involving Jama’ah Tabligh youth and amir actively engaged in khuruj activities. Data analysis was conducted through reduction, presentation, verification, and thematic interpretation. The findings demonstrate that khuruj fi sabilillah functions not only as a missionary activity but also as a process of experiencing, receiving, and actualizing Qur’anic teachings in socio-religious life. This practice contributes to strengthening worship discipline, responsibility, Islamic brotherhood (ukhuwah Islamiyah), sacrifice, and self-control among youth. The study enriches Living Qur’an scholarship, particularly in relation to contemporary da’wah movements and the development of religious character among Muslim youth.

Harmonization of Customary Law and Islamic Family Law in the Tradition of Temu Ahak

Basrul Basrul, Ahmad Zuhdi — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines the harmonization of customary law and Islamic family law within the tradition of Temu Ahak in Indonesian marriage practices. Using a qualitative method with an empirical juridical approach through case studies, data were collected via interviews, observation, and documentation. The findings reveal that Temu Ahak functions as a socio-legal mechanism that provides space for deliberation, verification, and assessment of the readiness of prospective spouses, with the tengganai serving as the customary authority. The approval of the tengganai influences marriage administration, affirming Temu Ahak as a form of living law that interacts with formal law. From the perspective of Islamic family law, Temu Ahak reflects the principle of caution (ihtiyat) and responsibility in choosing a spouse, while in the framework of maqashid al-shari’ah it contributes to safeguarding religion, lineage, and honor. Thus, Temu Ahak represents a bridge of harmonization between customary norms, Islamic law, and state law in the marriage practices of society.

Strategic Growth of Honey Pineapple Micro-Enterprises through IFE-EFE-QSPM Analysis

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to formulate appropriate welfare improvement strategies through the analysis of internal and external factors and the identification of priority strategies using the QSPM. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through Likert-scale questionnaires, interviews, and direct observations. The IFE matrix produced a score of 2.86, indicating that internal strengths are relatively dominant, particularly in product quality and farmer networks. Meanwhile, the EFE matrix yielded a score of 3.12, suggesting that external opportunities remain substantial, especially in terms of increasing market demand and government support programs. The business position in the IE Matrix falls within Quadrant II, implying significant growth potential that requires targeted development strategies to capitalize on existing opportunities. The QSPM analysis identifies digital marketing training and branding enhancement as the top strategic priorities, followed by expanded access to financing, product quality certification, and strengthening farmer institutions. Overall, the findings confirm that improving the welfare of honey pineapple micro-entrepreneurs should be pursued through growth-oriented strategies that emphasize internal capability development, effective utilization of digitalization, and integrated, sustainable institutional support.
