Conceptualising Islamic Educational Management in the Era of Artificial Intelligence: A Multi-Case Synthesis of Neuro-pedagogy, Integrative Digital Leadership and Governance
Islamic education institutions in Indonesia, ranging from pesantren and madrasah to private Islamic higher education institutions (PTKIS), are adapting to artificial intelligence and platform-based learning without a shared framework for what a religiously grounded digital transformation should look like. This article addresses that gap by synthesising five recent field studies conducted between 2024 and 2026 across madrasah, pesantren, and PTKIS sites in Indonesia, supported by institutional documents and secondary case material. Using a qualitative multi-case synthesis design with thematic-narrative cross-case analysis, the study examines how neuro-pedagogical practice, digital leadership, value-based classroom management, conflict resolution, and total quality management interact under conditions of rapid digitalisation. Findings show that neuro-pedagogical competence combined with spiritual intelligence is the strongest predictor of innovative teaching performance, that leadership grounded in fathanah (wisdom) and shiddiq (integrity) determines whether digitalisation strengthens or erodes institutional legitimacy, and that musyawarah (deliberative consultation) is being reconceptualised as a moral-procedural-digital mechanism for resolving generational and administrative conflict. The study proposes a Triadic Sustainable Institutional Performance (SIP) model that positions neuro-pedagogy and spiritual intelligence as a cognitive-spiritual foundation, value-based management as a mediating layer, and integrative digital leadership, maqasid-anchored governance, and moral-procedural-digital musyawarah as three interacting pillars that jointly determine institutional outcomes. The article contributes a testable conceptual framework for Islamic education management research and offers practical guidance for institutional leaders navigating artificial intelligence adoption without treating digitalisation as a purely technical undertaking.

SOCIAL SECURITY ISSUES FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF ISLAMIC POLITICAL THOUGHT: A CASE STUDY OF INTER-RESIDENT BRAWLS IN BELAWAN, NORTH SUMATRA
Social security is a vital element of communal life, yet inter-resident brawls continue to occur frequently in Indonesia, one recurring case being in Medan Belawan District, North Sumatra, which has repeatedly caused material losses, injuries, and even fatalities, disrupting the stability of community life. This study aims to analyze the factors causing inter-resident brawls in Belawan, understand their impact on community social security, and examine the phenomenon from the perspective of Islamic political thought. The research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach; primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews with police officers, community leaders, perpetrators/former perpetrators of brawls, and victims' families, supplemented by secondary data from related documents and literature, using the Miles and Huberman interactive analysis model along with source and technique triangulation to ensure data validity. The results show that inter-resident brawls in Belawan are caused by an accumulation of interrelated factors, namely seemingly trivial everyday triggers, a culture of revenge and strong group solidarity, economic limitations and unemployment, and low levels of education and drug abuse, which, viewed from the perspective of Islamic political thought, contradict the principle of protecting life (hifz al-nafs) and the concept of islah, so that resolution needs to be directed toward realizing maslahah through a comprehensive preventive approach encompassing law enforcement, economic empowerment, education, religious guidance, and the sustained strengthening of the roles of family and community.
REAKTUALISASI TEOLOGI ASY’ARIYAH DAN KONTRIBUSINYA TERHADAP PENGUATAN MODERASI BERAGAMA DI INDONESIA
This study aims to examine the characteristics of the moderate method of the Ash'arite school of thought and to analyze its contribution to strengthening religious moderation in Indonesia. This research employs a library research method with a descriptive analytical-critical approach. The researcher combines an inductive approach to trace the meaning of moderation according to Ash'arism and a deductive approach to draw conclusions on both universal and particular issues related to this concept. The findings reveal four dimensions of Ash'arism's contribution to religious moderation. First, from an epistemological perspective, Ash'arism positions reason as a servant and reinforcer of revelation, so that moderation is achieved through rigorous reasoning rather than through unsubstantiated compromise. Second, from a historical-sociological perspective, Ash'arite theology has shaped the religious character of traditional ulama in the Nusantara through the transmission of Aswaja scholarship in Islamic boarding schools, thereby giving Indonesian Islam a moderate character that is accommodating toward local traditions. Third, from a constructive perspective, the structure of Ash'arite theology aligns with the four indicators of religious moderation established by the Ministry of Religious Affairs. Fourth, in terms of preventing radicalism, Ash'arite theology can be employed to refute the theological claims of radical groups that excommunicate (takfir) others over differences in interpretation, while also explaining human moral responsibility without succumbing to fatalism that justifies violence.

HOW @RICOWAAS INSTAGRAM ELECTION CONTENT SHAPES STUDENT POLITICAL AWARENESS AT UIN SUMATER UTARA
We analyzed how Pilkada content on the @ricowaas Instagram account shapes political awareness among students at UINSU. To do this, we studied posts from the 2024 Medan City Pilkada campaign and interviewed eight students. We found that the content mostly highlighted personal branding, community interactions, and campaign promises. It helped increase student knowledge, though it did not directly dictate their voting choices. Students showed different levels of awareness. Some focused on simple visual branding, while others practiced critical awareness, verifying facts, comparing sources, and weighing actual work programs before forming an opinion. Ultimately, our research shows that social media’s true value is not just in grabbing attention; it is in sparking critical thinking. Thus, political actors should use social media for voter education, not only to spread one-way messages but also to create spaces for dialogue that build political literacy among young people.
The Theological Basis of Science: Redefining the Notion of Khalifah in Islamic Educational Institutions
This paper focuses on analyzing the authentic meaning of khalīfah as stipulated in the Qur’an. Using a descriptive-exploratory qualitative method, this paper reveals the original meaning of khalīfah from three perspectives of tafsīr riwāyah, dirāyah, and isyārah and correlates it with the role of Islamic educational institutions, particularly in relation to science education. Investigating the original meaning of khalīfah is critical for at least three reasons: (a) the meaning of khalīfah or khilāfah has been distorted into merely political power; (b) Islamic education pays insufficient attention to the study of secular subjects in general; and (c) secular subjects, including science, are widely perceived as less important than so-called religious studies. An in-depth study of the notion of khalīfah suggests the opposite: knowledge of the universe and material things commonly deemed secular is in fact the very factor that makes human beings exceptional, even more glorious than the angels, and justifies why Adam was chosen as khalīfah. Secular subjects therefore carry the same spiritual weight as religious ones, if not more. The paper further argues that this reconceptualization has direct implications for curriculum policy and pedagogy in Islamic educational institutions, providing a stronger theological rationale for treating science education as an integral part of Islamic learning rather than a peripheral, secular add-on.

THE RELEVANCE OF NURCHOLISH MADJID’S ISLAMIC POLITICAL THOUGHT ON DEMOCRACY TO THE POLITICAL ORIENTATION OF GENERATION Z WITHIN ISLAMIC STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS IN MEDAN CITY
This study examines the relevance of Nurcholish Madjid’s Islamic political thought on democracy to the political orientation of Generation Z within Islamic student organizations in Medan City. The research employs a qualitative approach through field research supported by library research. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with members of the Himpunan Mahasiswa Islam (HMI), Pergerakan Mahasiswa Islam Indonesia (PMII), and Ikatan Mahasiswa Muhammadiyah (IMM), as well as documentation and literature review. Informants were selected using purposive sampling, while data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that Nurcholish Madjid’s democratic principles such as deliberation (shura), justice, pluralism, openness, equality, and public participation remain highly relevant to the political orientation of Generation Z. Members of Islamic student organizations demonstrate democratic values through participatory decision-making, respect for diverse opinions, and active engagement in social and political issues. Furthermore, Generation Z tends to adopt a critical, rational, and issue-based political orientation rather than one centered solely on identity politics. Despite challenges posed by political polarization, digital misinformation, and declining public trust in political elites, Islamic student organizations continue to serve as strategic platforms for political education and leadership development. Therefore, Nurcholish Madjid’s democratic thought remains a significant moral and intellectual foundation for fostering a moderate, inclusive, democratic, and responsible political culture among Generation Z in contemporary Indonesia.

Apostasy is one of the major sins and the greatest crimes in Islam. Rather, it is related to the principle of Islam, faith to the one God an the Prophet Muhammad. The apostate had previously believed and believed in Allah, then turned from truth to falsehood and became an unbeliever. This apostasy represents a major betrayal to the God and His Messenger. That is why God Almighty has promised to those who apostatize from his religion, the decline of deeds in this world and torment in the hereafter. The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, promised to kill him when he said: (Whoever changes his religion, kill him). Apostasy is also measured by murder and adultery in its commentary. This article aims to explore the dialogue between ‘ulama about apostasy by describing and comparing all mazhab. Hence, the scholars differed in bringing rulings for the apostate from Islam. And every opinion has its inference, which we have mentioned for a long time. The differences are expected to be able to bring a lot of dialogue on the table, so that in the future there will be no more tendency to commit violence against people who change their religions.
Al-Imam Ibn Hazm Wa Juhuduhu Al-‘Ilmiyyah
One of the imams who had a lot of role and impact in the growth of islamic sciences is Imam Ibn Hazm, his name is not as famous as Imam Al-Syafi’i as the main reference for indonesian moslems the majority of them are followers of the Syafi’i madhhab, Ibn Hazm’s thoughts are like the madhhab adopted by him the Azzohiriyah School looks simple, literally and textual but if it is studied in more depth and more detail it turns out to have strong scientific arguments. Therefore studying his thoughts and the methode of Imam Ibn Hazm in concluding the conclusions of laws are very important in responding to various contemporary problems which are increasingly complex, with that motivation the researcher tries to present a scientific article about Imam Ibn Hazm his personal life, and his methods of his ijtihad which generally refuse analogy (qiyas) and consistently adhere to the texts of the al-qur’an and hadith and ijma’ or the consensus of the moslems. His thoughts and methods are seen to be different from the majority of other scholars who continue to make qiyas or analogies as a source of islamic law, but precisely for that reason the study of Ibn Hazm and his thoughts becomes interesting and important to do.
Syura Dan Demokrasi Perspektif Hermeneutika Abdullah Saeed: Relevansinya Dengan Demokrasi Di Indonesia
Abdullah Saeed offers a method of hermeneutics called the contextual approach. This approach is described in several works, one entitled Reading the Qur'an in the Twenty-First Century: A Contextualist Approach. The study in this article is one of the cases he once wrote in his book by applying the hermeneutic model, namely shura and democracy. The State of Indonesia is one of the Republican and democratic countries. The predominantly Muslim Indonesian population forms the country with the foundations of Islamic law, so the author is interested in studying the relevance of Indonesian democracy to the concept of shura in the Qur'an. The Indonesian democratic system in this article is examined from Abdullah Saeed's perspective on the concept of shura and democracy. In addition, the author also tries to identify Saeed's consistency in applying his contextual hermeneutic theory in this case. His findings are none other than that Saeed did not make the full interpretation in this case, so his conclusions still seem to rely on the pre-modern and modern interpretations he refers to, but he says the concept of shura has been contextualized as an attempt to equalize the democratic values of a government country. As democracy in Indonesia has values and ideas similar to the concept of shura in the Qur'an.
Analysis Of Social Structure and Power Relationship in The Nw Anjani Community
At the point of view of political sociology, Nahdlatul Wathan does not only exist in the religious discourse of the Sasak people but has also been able to set social structures with certain characteristics. By laying the foundation of Islam and nationality, the social structure of NWF residents gives more reflection of a communal society, a community that has a high intensity of social interaction and has a religious character. In reality, the dynamic of Nahdlatul Wathan society in the communal dimension reflects complex power relations, not only in the classification of "keshalehan" and teacher-student relations, but also shifting to educational and intellectual levels, ownership of resources, family hegemony to territorial egocentrism. This paper will discuss the patterns of interaction that are built up in the community affiliated with NW Anjani and the power relations that develop. This study uses structural-functional theory to read the current structure and system, and power-relations theory to read the power relations that develop in these social structures. This study explains that NW Anjani has various basic values that are still owned by its citizens as assets as well as the bond of social interactions. The dynamics of the community of NW Anjani also show a strong and functional power relationship and have significant implications for the integrity of the community. However, paradigm shifts and social actions of some NW Anjani people remain visible, from communal to non-communal societies, and from authoritative power relations to symbolic authority resistance.

Konsep Moderasi Beragama Di Kerajaan Maroko
This study explains the concept of Islamic Moderation in Morocco. It's an interesting theme for us to observe and study together. Considering that the Moroccan government is one of the successful countries in protecting its territory from the threat of Islamic radicalism groups. Furthermore, the jihadist group launched its attack in Casablanca in 2003. Based on this background, the government, in this matter is King Muhammad VI, considers there is an urgent need to reconstruct Moroccan Islamic moderation. With a view to ensuring the stability of religious, social, cultural and political security in the domestic and regional areas of West Africa. The data was collected through a combination of qualitative studies and field observations of moderation that has been carried out over the past twenty years. The data explains that diversity tolerance has been going on for a long time. Studying King Muhammad VI's decision at His Dhahir al-sharief, the moderation developed by Morocco encompasses several lines. First, by normalizing minority relations represented with the original Moroccan Jews. Second, by building the Institute of Takwin Al-Aimmah in order to bring about the priests of the mosque to have moderate Islamic visions and loving deeply their own homeland.
Reformulasi Tafsir: Studi Pemikiran Gender Asghar Ali Engineer
Asghar Ali Engineer is one of the figures who promotes and implements liberation theology. Liberation theology emphasizes praxis rather than metaphysical theoritization which includes abstract and ambiguous concepts. The praxis in question is of a liberal nature and involves dialectical attraction between "what is" and "what should be". As well as this ambiguous meaning that opens opportunities for flexibility in making creative and constructive changes. This theology is applied, among others, related to the injustice towards women. Women realize that they have not really been 'individualized', have not been treated as whole human beings. This condition is of course felt as a confinement that shackles women. So from a normative perspective, it is clear that the Koran upholds the principle of equality between men and women. In other words, the Qur'an is very concerned with issues of gender equality. However, when viewed from a contextual perspective, the alQur'an sometimes places men one level above women.
Hermeneutika Hadis Sa’dudin Al-Utsmani: Studi Kitab Almanhaj Al-Wasthi Fi At-Ta’amil Sunnah An-Nabawiyyah
The hermeneutical approach in contemporary tafsir thought is often used as a reference when understanding the text of the Qur'an and Hadith. Hermeneutics serves as a tool for producing understanding and the most well-known methodology for understanding texts contextually and structurally well. The focus of this research will be to map understanding significantly through the hermeneutic theory of the hadiths of contemporary scholars, namely Sa'dudin al-Ustmani in his book "Manhaj Sunnah An-Nabawiyyah". This paper aims to explore methodological understanding through the theory of hermeneutic hadith which produces three important aspects in understanding the Sunnah An-Nabawiyyah, namely: First, Tasharruf in religious matters conveyed by the apostle. Second, the Tasharruf in the religion that is ijtihadi by the Prophet is the error of revelation and sometimes it is wrong but it does not continue in the error, usually there is revelation that justifies it. The revelation that justifies this is sometimes in the form of al-Qur'an, sometimes it is not al-Qur'an. Third, Tasharrufat in world affairs. The basic assumption of the author is to describe and describe the contemporary scholar Sa'dudin Al-Ustmani in his book "Manhaj sunah an-nabawiyah", which aims to provide an intermediate understanding in understanding the sunnah an-nabawiyah.
This article discusses Islamic democracy in Indonesian democracy. Deliveries made by Islamic leaders have always been in the spotlight by the government. Apart from the government, the spotlight also came from foreign media, which reported that the Islamic figure incited the community. The question is, what is the ethical foundation of democracy in Indonesia? What is Islamic democracy like in Indonesian democracy? This research was conducted with a normative research method, qualitatively using literature study to obtain answers to the topics discussed. The answer was obtained that democracy in Indonesia is Pancasila democracy with the people as the highest authority. Furthermore, the values of democracy in Islam contribute to democracy in Indonesia, such as justice, freedom of opinion, human rights, and others. This can be seen by examining the Medina Charter, which is a legal product during the leadership of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, where the Prophet Muhammad SAW emphasized deliberation as a means of resolving conflicts, both for believers and non-Muslims, and if they did not find common ground, the Prophet Muhammad as the messenger of Allah is the final decision holder. Likewise Indonesian democracy, prioritizing agreement in decision-making, through people's representatives, and the people as the owner of supreme sovereignty, always guarding these decisions.

Education is one element that plays a very strategic role in the development of a family, community, and nation. The progress and retreat of a nation can be seen from the development and quality of education. The more focused the implementation of education will lead a nation to a more advanced civilization. Every educational institution, both large and small educational institutions, must have various goals to be achieved, and these goals require a regulatory process through management. Islamic boarding schools as places of education and teaching consisting of several groups of people such as kyai or master teachers as leaders or caregivers, boarding school administrators, and students are a unit involved in carrying out educational activities. The presence of madrasas / Islamic boarding schools and other institutions in carrying out transformation-based education in the boarding school environment as an effort to continue the development of science and knowledge and technology certainly requires management or management which will eventually become an educational system of Islamic boarding school education, because management is basically contains three meanings. First, management as a process, second, management as a collectivity of people who carry out management activities, third, management as an art and science.

Radicalism is the opposite of the moderation values that Islam has brought since 1400 years ago which attracts people to study and deepen it but many people argue that the value of moderation in Islam is not complete and pure, as evidenced by the thoughts of radicalism among muslims which in its history began in an organized manner since the events of the tahkim or arbitration between Ali and Muawiyah with the emergence of the khawarij sect then continues untill now with the justification of the existing radical or extremist groups using their extreme thoughts in every action. This research tries to analyze that opinion with historical approaches and holy texts both al-qur’an and hadith through a variety of interpretations of experts so as to get a complete and comprehensive understanding avoid from the bias of mazhab and fanaticism.
Persepsi Masyarakat Terhadap Kegiatan Dakwah Majelis Taklim Al-Barkah di Kepenghuluan Bagan Punak Meranti
Majelis taklim dalam persoalan kehidupan masyarakat dan bangsa mempunyai fungsi yang sangat signifikan, terutama bagi ukhuwah islamiyah. Adapun kedudukan majelis taklim secara sosiologis bukan hanya sekedar tempat berkumpulnya kaum bapak-bapak atau kaum ibu-ibu saja, melainkan mempunyai nilai telogis yang akan memberikan pengetahuan, penghayatan dan bimbingan perilaku untuk melaksanakan nilai-nilai luhur Islam.

Faith is a fundamental principle in religion. In Islam faith is an initial unitary step in undergoing worship which is called the pillars of faith. They are belief in Allah SWT, angels, scriptures, prophets, afterlife, andin the good and bad conditions which are had by His servants. However, in modernity and the treasures of Islam, Islam seems to be a late religion to be born. By reviving the strong desire in the golden era of the Salaf al-Shalih but with a textual understanding and regardless of the historical context. Some people are not aware that timeis changing, dynamic and developing, but Islam tends to be an exclusive, old-fashioned and not in line with modernity. A textual understanding emerges too much religious believers which had been reproached by previous believers. In fact, the Qur'an has presented testimony in its diction, reminded its people not to be too much, strict and radical. The phenomenon of overpracticing in religion cannot be underestimated, especially in this age of pluralism. Rigidity, and self-righteousness and even labeling other groups having different views as kafir or unbelievers really have negative effects, impacts and consequences. No wonder these dynamics make Moslems dichotomous and splitted, even easily played to fight against each other. This article tries to present how much the effect, impact and bad consequences on the label of kafir on otherMoslems. The researcher hopesto reduce people's carelessness on labelling other Moslems as kafir.

Moderasi Beragama Di Ruang Publik Dalam Bayang-Bayang Radikalisme
Moderasi beragama dan saling mencintai menjadi cita-cita manusia di dunia ini, karena itu jejak yang paling dasar dalam diri manusia. Maka dari itu, kita harus membenci kekerasan atas nama apapun, baik itu agama, dan kemanusiaan. Manusia harus saling menghargai, menerima, menghormati, dan menjunjung tinggi nilai-nilai kemanusiaan. Kekerasan atas nama agama sering dijadikan alat legitimasi aksi dan reaksi kekerasan, baik radikalisme maupun terorisme oleh para pengusungnya. Kemunculan gerakan radikalisme dan terorisme yang didorong oleh beberapa faktor, baik internal maupun eksternal. Hal ini dapat ditelusuri dari gejala radikalisme di masyarakat, yang ditandai dengan adanya kecenderungan individu maupun kelompok untuk menafsirkan teks secara leterlek serta mengabaikan konteks, ingin penegakan syari’ah, dan cenderung intoleransi terhadap sesama manusia. Dalam artikel ini, penulis menawarkan bahwa moderasi beragama harus hidup di ruang publik, meski dibayang-bayangi oleh radikalisme. Meskipun dalam bayang radikalisme, moderasi beragama harus menjadi jalan keluar di tengah masyarakat yang pluralis dan harus diangkat pada ruang publik sebagai ruang demokratis, yang mana warga negara dapat menyatakan opini, kepentingan, dan kebutuhan mereka secara diskursif. Berkomunikasi mengenai kegelisahankegelisahan politisnya, bebas menyatakan sikap, dan argumen, terlibat dalam membicarakan hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan kepentingan bersama, bukan ditentukan oleh satu individu; Presiden, Tuan guru, Pejabat, Pendeta, Dan Kepala Suku. Ia bersifat bebas dari pengaruh siapapun termasuk pemerintah dan harus mudah diakses oleh semua anggota masyarakat.
Makna Ghuluw; Dalam Perspektif Hasbi As-Shiddieqy, Hamka Dan M. Quraish Shihab
Religious moderation is a perspective, attitude, and behavior that always takes a position in the middle which is based on justice and is not extreme in religion. The opposite of moderation is excessive, or al-tatharruf in Arabic which means extreme, radical, and excessive in English. Then in Arabic there are at least two words that have the same meaning as the word extreme, namely alghuluw and tasyaddud. This research focuses on the meaning of ghuluw which is analyzed from several interpretations written by Indonesian Muslim intellectuals. Then this research uses library research or library research. Literature study is a data collection technique by conducting a review study of books, literatures, notes, and reports that have to do with the problem to be solved and using the method of comparison between commentators. The problem raised by the author is how the commentators interpret the meaning of the word ghuluw and what are the characteristics of actions that include ghuluw in religion. The writing finds about the meaning of ghuluw including exaggeration, exceeding the limit in religion. As for the characteristics of actions that include ghuluw, among others, the existence of excessive fanaticism causes a person to shut himself off from the opinions of other groups and declare that his views are the most correct so that the impact on other than his views is wrong. Then besides that, it is to disbelieve in other people, even to make their blood lawful.
Religious moderation with unconditional acceptance is the ideal of all humans in this world, therefore the most basic DNA imprint in humans is peace. Therefore, humans must hate violence in any name. Humans must respect, accept, respect and uphold human values. The idea of the religious moderation movement cannot be separated from the long road to militating the social system which has led to the destruction of the social system. The news presented on television and on social media homepages about corruption, collusion and nepotism, rape, theft, robbery, drug abuse, social violence and domestic violence, bullying and conflicts in society because of differences inter and interreligious. This paper assumes that all social problems involving individuals, groups and organizations in society stem from abnormal encounters. Because every time humans cannot avoid an encounter and use language, the improvement begins in that realm. Considering that improving the social system to create religious moderation should not be elitist and costly, the approach must be with a populist approach. Sekolah Perjumpaan is a simple technology but very principal, namely how to optimize encounters and prioritize action.
