Since the beginning of the 20th century, Islamic educational institutions such as Islamic boarding schools have become centers of learning and spreading the spirit of struggle against colonial oppression. Scholars and religious leaders, such as KH Ahmad Dahlan, the founder of Muhammadiyah, actively played an important role in mobilizing the masses and spreading nationalist ideas rooted in Islamic values.

Through Islamic boarding schools and religious organizations, NU built a strong network of solidarity among the Muslim community, rallying support for the struggle for independence. In addition, women's active participation in Islamic education, especially through organizations such as Aisyiyah, makes a significant contribution to fighting for rights and freedoms for all Indonesian people. Thus, Islamic education not only provides the foundation for Indonesia's independence, but also prepares the younger generation as resilient and responsible agents of change.

This article discusses the application of the Prophet's political ethics in reviewing contemporary Islamic political ethics. Islamic political ethics can be seen in several aspects, such as the appointment of leaders, ethics in dealing with rebels, the choice of forms and systems of government, attitudes as politicians, and other issues related to government. Islamic political ethics is always guided by Divine revelation in the form of the Koran and hadith, so that when a leader makes a political decision, he is immediately held accountable before God. Political ethics in Islam includes two things: (1) as a moral philosophy that concerns the political aspects of human life (legitimacy of political power); (2) political ethics refers to behavior when carrying out political activities (political moral aspects), such as chivalry, elegance, politeness, and carrying out duties. The role of political ethics in society is to provide theoretical tools to question and explain political legitimacy in a responsible, rational, objective and argumentative manner. Political ethics is a question of political reality in early Islamic society and how it happened. This is a matter of how society views people who have great power. Islamic politics can also be interpreted as the political activities of some Muslims who use Islam as a standard of values and a basis for group solidarity. Political ethics contains two meanings, namely as a moral philosophy which concerns the political aspects of human life (legitimacy of political power) and political ethics which refers to behavior when carrying out political activities (moral aspects of politics), such as chivalry, elegance, politeness, and carrying out duties. The role of political ethics in society is limited to providing theoretical tools to question and explain political legitimacy in a responsible, rational, objective and argumentative manner, not based on emotions, prejudices and a priori. The task of political ethics is to objectify the discussion of ideological issues that are not directly related to actual politics.

The Middle Ages in Islamic history is a century filled with thinkers and ideas from various fields. One of the experts at that time was the genius Islamic thinker Ibn Khladun who is famous among modern intellectuals. Ibn Khaldun is considered an expert in the fields of history, sociology, and politics. This research uses a literary method approach to explore the concept of asabiyah in Ibn Khaldun's thought and its implications for the formation and management of the state. Data is collected from various written sources such as books, journals, literature and scientific publications. Ibn Khaldun's view states that asabiyah which contains the spirit of brotherhood and group solidarity can be the key to the success of a country when utilized positively. But if directed negatively to unlimited fanaticism, asabiyah can threaten the stability and justice of government. Ibn Khaldun also underlined the importance of a leader who fulfills the characteristics of Imamah, namely strength, wisdom and the ability to lead fairly in accordance with his religious beliefs. Through understanding the idea of ashabiyah and the principles put forward by Ibn Khaldun, this study highlights the process of forming the state and government by the community. In addition, Ibn Khaldun divided his views on politics into two main components: the state and the leader. He asserted that a state will continue to develop from primitive times to more civilized times, with the expectation of production, civilization, wisdom, and strength that can overcome complex political situations. Therefore, asabiyah is not just an abstract concept, but also has a strong and real influence on the social and political dynamics of society and the people. Ibn Khaldun's work remains an important source of learning in both Western and Eastern countries to this day.
