Vol. 4 No. 1 (2025): March
This issue presents six scholarly articles authored by researchers from various universities across Indonesia, examining diverse dimensions of Islamic boarding school education, institutional leadership, curriculum development, and interfaith harmony. The articles collectively explore the impact of pro-environmental movements on santri emotional management at Annuqayah Lubangsa Islamic Boarding School, the transformational leadership style of Kiai Hasan Abdullah Sahal at Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor, and the development of Islamic Religious Education curriculum design at Miftahul Ulum School in Kubu Raya Regency. Two additional articles offer comparative and legal perspectives, analyzing pesantren and formal school curricula against prevailing government regulations and examining the adaptive role of ijtihad and fatwa in addressing contemporary challenges facing modern Muslim societies. The issue concludes with an inquiry into pluralist Islamic education management, presenting the Bali Bina Insani Pesantren as an instructive model of social harmony within a Hindu-majority context. Together, these contributions advance a deeper and more nuanced understanding of pesantren as dynamic institutions navigating tradition, modernity, and social diversity.
