This research discusses the role and influence of Islamic education in the struggle for Indonesian independence and its figures. With the objectives, among others, to analyze the role of Islamic education, especially Islamic boarding schools and religious organizations, in building awareness of nationalism and the spirit of independence in the younger generation, as well as in preparing them to face the colonizers, and evaluating the impact of the moral and spiritual values taught in Islamic education on the formation of the character of the freedom fighters, as well as how these values affect their spirit and courage in resisting the colonizers.Islamic education plays a central role in the long journey towards Indonesian independence. In the midst of resistance to the invaders, Islam not only gave spiritual strength to the fighters, but also became the moral and intellectual foundation that guided their steps. 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. Figures such as KH Hasyim Asy'ari from Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) also had a big impact on the struggle. 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 study focuses on discussing the politics and policy of Islamic education in Indonesia with the core of the discussion of Comparison of Educational Goals and Systems between Islamic Education and Dutch Colonial Government Education. The history of Islamic education in Indonesia is more or less influenced by the socio-political background, especially during the Dutch colonial era, which was the longest surviving colonizer in Indonesia, this caused damage to the Islamic order that existed in Indonesia at that time, because the Dutch colonialists had a dual mission including Imperialism (a nation that carried out the politics of colonizing other nations) and Christianization. The educational process that took place in the Dutch East Indies was one of the starting points for the emergence of national awakening figures. Education in the Dutch East Indies itself began because of criticism from several figures and groups with the application of forced cultivation and liberal politics, because this policy caused a lot of suffering and poverty of the people. And this must be paid for by organizing trias, namely irrigation, emigration, and education. This criticism was finally approved by the queen of the Netherlands, and education began to be held, but education ran with discrimination because there were schools that differentiated classes between the children of elite nobles or pro-Dutch figures and the children of ordinary people. And this is because the son of this nobleman or pro-Dutch figure will later work to help the Dutch. And the children of ordinary people only become menial or lowly laborers.

Currently, we live with various conveniences, especially when shopping. These conveniences produce many benefits, but there are also some negative impacts, one of which is consumptive behavior. Consumptive behavior is the action of someone who uses or buys something, either goods or services excessively. Usually prioritizing the urge of desire rather than need. This urge of desire is what in the perspective of Sufism psychology according to Frager is something that needs to be minimized, the reason researchers chose Frager's concept of Sufism psychology is because consumer behavior is closely related to nafs, and Frager is a Sufism psychology figure who is most detailed in describing the concept compared to other figures such as Al Ghazali. This study aims to see how consumer behavior is studied in the theory of Sufism psychology according to Robert Frager and how psychospiritualism is applied in minimizing consumptive behavior. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative method with a form of library research. According to Frager's study of Sufism psychology, consumptive behavior can be categorized into tyrannical nafs and lawwamah nafs, but consumptive behavior can be reduced when it is in the category of inspired nafs. Meanwhile, consumptive behavior will completely disappear if it is at the level of peaceful nafs, pleased nafs, approved nafs, and pure nafs. The psychospiritual applications that can be applied include: fasting, seclusion, serving brothers, and remembering death.

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.

Knowledge in the field of science is increasingly developing day by day following environmental conditions and human thinking. So science, especially in the field of science, should not be separated from religion. In the Al-Qur'an there are many verses that explain the process of human creation, such as in Surah Al-Hajj verse 5, Surah Al-Mukmin verse 67, Surah Az-Zumar verse 7, Surah Fathir verse 11, and many more. . someone can observe humans through biological observations. In the Qur'an, humans are often called "Basyar", where the word basyar is often compared to the biological characteristics of humans. Fingerprints are polygene inheritance. Based on Galton's system, fingerprints can be divided into 3 basic patterns, namely: curved shape or Arch (A), figure shape or Loop (L), and circle shape or Whorl (W). Finger tendrils can be widely used as a means of identifying a person, biological aspects. Human fingerprints vary from one person to another, even if they are identical twins.

Investigates the idea of muhkam and mutasyabih stanzas in the Qur'an and the connected religious ramifications. Muhkam refrains are stanzas that have clear, unequivocal and express implications, giving a strong legitimate premise and standards in Islamic lessons. Mutasyabih verses, on the other hand, contain symbolism and metaphors that enhance the spiritual and intellectual aspects of the sacred text and have meanings that are ambiguous and necessitate in-depth analysis. This study demonstrates that muhkam verses provide Muslims with clear practical and legal guidance, whereas mutasyabih verses encourage deep reflection and the development of theological understanding by analyzing the characteristics, functions, and purposes of these two types of verses. In interpreting the Qur'an, where muhkam and mutasyabih verses complement one another in conveying the Divine message, the study emphasizes the significance of a comprehensive and holistic understanding. These verses have important theological implications for the development of contemporary Islamic thought, including a deeper comprehension of God's nature, the essence of Islamic teachings, and the dynamics of interpreting sacred tex.

Islam, the religion which is in accordance with human nature, Sharia not only encourage people to study science and technology, but also build a civilization, even set his people to survive and save both the world and in the hereafter. Furthermore that all activities include reviewing and developing science and technology can be a valuable worship even it can be a fight value on the side of God. At issue until now, is still the perception in the wider society, that religion and science are two entities that cannot be met. Both have their respective areas, separated from each other, both in terms of formal object-material, research methods, criteria of truth, the role played by scientists. This is due to the notion that science and religion both have different ways of approach, experience, and these differences are a source of debate. The problem that arises now is how to do the integration between science and religion through Islamic religious education, and what kind of integration to be conducted?

Science and technology have developed along with human development in this universe. The history of human civilization requires efforts to manifest values ​​within the scope of their own perspective.

Islamic science and Western science are two rich scientific traditions with a long history and significant contributions to science. Despite some similarities, they also have fundamental differences in methodology, epistemology, and goals. Islamic science flourished during the Middle Ages, driven by intellectual curiosity and the urge to understand God's creation. Muslim scientists combined the revelations of the Koran with observations and experiments to produce advances in a variety of fields, including astronomy, mathematics, physics, optics, and medicine. They emphasized the importance of a systematic scientific method, using hypotheses, experiments, and observations to test theories.Western science, on the other hand, emerged in Europe during the Renaissance and Enlightenment. Western science is characterized by its emphasis on rationalism, empiricism, and secularism. Western scientists challenged the authority of religion and tradition, and focused on developing more rigorous scientific methods, such as controlled experiments and testable hypotheses.

Science is always associated with general knowledge or science that studies worldly matters only. Some Muslims think that science has nothing to do with Islam or in other words, Islam does not need science. If the Islamic community's opinion about this still exists then Islam is in a danger zone, because Islam actually needs science. Islam and science are not two opposing camps, but rather two very unified camps. If we look deeper, the Koran presents many verses about science. The verses of the Koran about science range from 750 to 1000 verses. In fact, the first revelation that came down to the Prophet Muhammad SAW was the command to read. In the Qur'an, it is explained that paying attention to the universe, which also means studying science, is part of reading the verses of Allah SWT. Meanwhile, the results of research conducted by scientists about the universe do not contradict the Koran which was revealed 1400 years ago. If science and technology are only controlled by non-Muslims, then Muslims will be considered weaker and inferior in the field of science. Therefore, Islam needs the next generation of people who love and understand the contents of the Koran and are not blind to knowledge, especially science. Islam will spread its wings more in the fields of science and technology so that a generation of Muslims who are IMTAQ and SCIENTIFIC will be formed, namely a generation of Muslims who are faithful and devout and master science and technology.
