This study explores the integration of salafiyah (traditional Islamic) and modern curricula at Darul Amien Islamic Boarding School in Gembolo, Banyuwangi, in response to the challenges of Islamic education in the modern era. The research aims to describe the planning, implementation, and evaluation of curriculum integration in pesantren education management. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. The findings reveal that the pesantren has successfully combined classical Islamic texts with formal school curricula into a unified system. The learning activities follow a structured level system, with regular evaluations conducted by school administrators. Challenges such as students' low motivation toward general subjects are addressed through personal mentoring and adaptive curriculum strategies. This integration improves the quality of graduates in both religious and societal competencies.

Islamic boarding schools are Islamic educational institutions that aim to understand, appreciate, and practice the teachings of Islam by emphasizing the importance of religious morals as guidelines in everyday social life. In pesantren, students are expected to apply good values in interactions with fellow students. However, the understanding of the impact of bullying is still unclear for some students. Bullying behavior often occurs unconsciously as part of social interaction, for example, teasing which is initially considered a joke, but then develops into a serious problem. Through this counseling, it is hoped that students can better understand the negative impacts that may arise due to bullying. The method of implementing this community service is in the form of counseling with slide presentation media and infocus, which was conducted at one of the Islamic Boarding Schools in South Tangerang. During the education process, pesantren also face various problems, one of which is bullying which often occurs due to lack of supervision from the pesantren. With this counseling, it is hoped that students will be more aware and understand the bad consequences of bullying.

This study examines the application of the hermeneutical approach in Islamic studies from the perspective of contextual Islamic Religious Education (IRE). The problem underlying this research is the dominance of textual and normative learning patterns in Islamic education that are often disconnected from contemporary social and cultural realities. The study aims to describe the hermeneutic concepts of Fazlur Rahman’s “double movement” and Hans-Georg Gadamer’s “fusion of horizons” and to analyze their relevance in developing contextual IRE. This research employs a qualitative library research method by analyzing recent scientific literature (2021–2025) from national and international journals. The findings reveal that hermeneutics provides a methodological and philosophical foundation for transforming IRE from rote-based learning into reflective, dialogical, and contextual learning. This study concludes that hermeneutics can be used as a conceptual and practical framework to strengthen the relevance of Islamic education in addressing modern challenges. However, the study’s limitation lies in its theoretical nature, so further empirical research is recommended to test the effectiveness of hermeneutic-based pedagogical models in classroom settings.
