Improving the quality of Islamic boarding school education is essential to meet the demands of modern times and global competition. These institutions are expected not only to produce academically capable students but also those with strong character, noble morals, and spirituality. A key factor influencing the quality of Islamic boarding school education is the organizational commitment of human resources, particularly educators and educational staff. This study examines the role of human resource commitment in enhancing the quality of Islamic boarding school education, using a library research method by reviewing books, journals, and previous studies on organizational commitment and education quality. The findings highlight that organizational commitment, expressed through affective, normative, and sustained commitment, significantly impacts education quality. These dimensions encourage educators and staff to work professionally and responsibly, focusing on quality in both learning and management. Additionally, pesantren leadership and an organizational culture rooted in Islamic values further strengthen this commitment, leading to a positive and sustainable impact on education quality. The study concludes that fostering strong organizational commitment is crucial for improving pesantren education, urging managers to prioritize human resource development through effective management, visionary leadership, and a conducive organizational culture.

This study aims to analyze the management of educational facilities and infrastructure planning at Pesantren Miftahul Ulum Subang and its contribution to learning effectiveness. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design, using in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving 19 participants, including the boarding school leader, teachers, students, and facilities managers. Data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns of facilities management and their impact on the learning process. The findings indicate that the needs analysis for facilities is not yet systematic and largely relies on informal reports. Facilities procurement is carried out gradually based on priority needs and available financial resources. Several facilities are underutilized due to the absence of standard operational procedures and limited supervision. The study also shows that the quality of facilities has a direct influence on learning effectiveness by enhancing classroom comfort and supporting instructional methods. It is concluded that structured and data-driven facilities planning is essential for improving the quality of learning in Islamic boarding schools.

This study examines the influence of teaching the classical text Hadiyyah al-‘Arus on the mindset of female students (santri putri) regarding their readiness for marriage: A case study at Pondok Pesantren Putri An Nur 1 (Asrama Az-Zubaidah), Malang. The research departs from the recognition that pre-marital education in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) should extend beyond mere Islamic legal aspects and actively shape the students’ mindset as well as their mental, emotional, and spiritual preparedness to embrace marriage as an act of worship (ibadah) and a sacred trust (amanah). The study employed a qualitative approach with field research design. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, and relevant literature review. The data were subsequently analyzed using descriptive-analytical methods to identify the relationship between the teaching of Hadiyyah al-‘Arus and the students’ marital readiness. The findings reveal that the systematic study of Hadiyyah al-‘Arus significantly shapes the students’ mindset. The santri no longer view marriage merely as a physical or social union but as a profound spiritual trust that demands religious, emotional, and moral preparedness. They emphasize the importance of selecting a spouse based primarily on religious commitment and good character (din and akhlaq), understanding the rights and obligations of husband and wife, and avoiding excessive or extravagant wedding celebrations (walimah). It can be concluded that Hadiyyah al-‘Arus serves as a highly effective medium for pre-marital education in the pesantren context, successfully fostering comprehensive understanding, positive attitudes, and awareness among female students toward building a tranquil, loving, and merciful family (sakinah mawaddah wa raḥmah). The study recommends the continued and systematic integration of classical turath texts into pesantren curricula as well as further research with broader and comparative scope.

This study aims to analyze the role of spiritual leadership of the kiai in strengthening the organizational resilience of Al-Asy’ary Islamic Boarding School in the era of Society 5.0. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the kiai, teachers, and students, as well as observation and supporting documentation. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, consisting of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the kiai’s spiritual leadership is a key determinant of pesantren resilience through the integration of transcendental, ethical-humanistic, and adaptive-progressive dimensions. The kiai successfully guides the selective and meaningful use of digital technology by positioning it as a means of service (khadam), rather than an end in itself. Leadership practices based on role modeling, moral values, and spiritual reinforcement foster students’ moral autonomy and create a stable organizational climate amid digital disruption. This study concludes that the resilience of traditional pesantren in the Society 5.0 era lies in the strength of spiritual values sustained through adaptive and continuous spiritual leadership.

Facilities and infrastructure are essential components in the provision of education, functioning to support the effectiveness of teaching and learning processes, student comfort, and the achievement of quality learning outcomes. In boarding-based Islamic schools (madrasah), facility needs become more complex due to the integration of formal academic curricula with religious instruction and a full residential system. The National Education Standards (SNP) serve as the national reference for the fulfillment of educational facilities in Indonesia; however, the standards do not specifically regulate boarding facilities, resulting in a gap in facility fulfillment among pesantren-based madrasah. This study aims to evaluate the suitability of educational facilities and infrastructure at MTsS Sunanul Husna, South Tangerang City, with the SNP and to identify inhibiting factors affecting the fulfillment of such standards. The research employed a qualitative case study design through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using interactive procedures, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that academic facilities are categorized as adequate, with classrooms, teacher rooms, administrative offices, computer laboratories, and a UKS room available and functioning, although the library and student sanitation facilities require improvement. Boarding facilities such as dormitories, worship areas, and kitchen facilities are categorized as good, despite not being covered in the SNP. The study reveals that financial limitations, centralized authority at the foundation level, and the absence of national standards for boarding education represent the main inhibiting factors. The study implies the need for the formulation of facility standards specifically for boarding madrasah and for strengthened collaboration among the government, foundations, and communities in fulfilling educational infrastructure.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji proses adaptasi santri baru terhadap budaya pesantren serta mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor multidisipliner yang memengaruhi terjadinya fenomena boyong pada masa awal mondok di Pondok Pesantren Mansyaul Ulum Malang Selatan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan tipe penelitian lapangan. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi partisipatif, dan dokumentasi dengan melibatkan santri baru, santri yang boyong, pengurus, dan ustaz pesantren. Analisis data dilakukan secara interaktif melalui tahap reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa adaptasi santri baru merupakan proses kompleks yang dipengaruhi oleh faktor psikologis, sosial, kultural, dan pendidikan keislaman yang saling berkelindan. Fenomena boyong terjadi sebagai akibat dari ketidakmampuan santri mengelola tekanan psikologis, lemahnya integrasi sosial, serta belum optimalnya pendampingan adaptasi berbasis nilai-nilai pesantren. Simpulan penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa pengasuhan santri baru perlu dirancang melalui pendekatan multidisiplin agar proses adaptasi berjalan lebih humanis dan berkelanjutan.  

This research traces the role of classical Islamic intellectual traditions in shaping the direction and character of the contemporary Islamic education system at the Al Asror Islamic Boarding School, Gunung Pati, Semarang. This study highlights the preservation and adaptation of the main elements of turats such as the study of the yellow book, sanad-based teacher-student relations, oral learning patterns, and the development of manners and learning ethics which are maintained as the methodological foundation of Islamic boarding schools. In the context of educational modernization, this study observes how the tradition undergoes adjustment without losing its epistemological roots.

Dengan demikian, khidmah menjadi manifestasi nyata epistemologi keaswajaan yang menegaskan bahwa adab dan keikhlasan merupakan fondasi utama dalam memperoleh ilmu sejati.

Memorizing the Qur’an is a process, as the material to be memorized must be perfect, because this knowledge is studied to be memorized, not to be understood. However, once the memorization of the Qur’an is complete, it is then required to understand the contents contained within it. The purpose of this study is to find out how the tahfidz program is implemented at Pesantren Diniyyah Puteri Padang Panjang. By using a qualitative descriptive research method, it means that the data collected is not in the form of numbers but comes from interviews, field notes, and pictures. To obtain accurate results, this study uses data collection methods in the form of observation, interviews, and documentation. The analysis used includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of this study first show that the Al-Quran tahfidz program at Pesantren Diniyyah Puteri Padang Panjang is a mandatory activity for students in the dormitory and is included in In the extracurricular program at school, the implementation has been running quite well. Second, there are supporting factors from both internal and external sources that facilitate the tahfidz program, such as rewards for students who have reached their memorization targets, designated rooms for students to memorize, and guidance from professional supervisors. The inhibiting factors are: students' laziness due to a packed schedule in both the dormitory and school, and too little time to memorize and review their memorization.

This study discusses the practice and meaning of Sholawat Amrik as a living tradition that develops in the Ahlus Shafa wal Wafa Islamic Boarding School, Sidoarjo, East Java. Sholawat Amrik is not only practiced in a series of formal ritual worship, but also is present continuously in the daily lives of students and worshippers, such as before meals, after prayers, in routine recitations, and various other collective spiritual activities. This shows that prayer is understood not just as a verbal reading, but as a religious practice that is alive and integrated with the daily pattern of Islamic boarding schools. This study aims to analyze the role of Sholawat Amrik in the process of internalizing religious values, strengthening spirituality, forming religious habits, and strengthening social relations in the pesantren community. The research approach used is qualitative with phenomenological methods, through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. Data analysis was carried out by linking the findings to Glock and Stark's theory of religiosity, Charles Duhigg's theory of habit formation, and the concept of tazkiyatun nafs in the Sufism tradition of Imam al-Ghazali. The results of the study show that Sholawat Amrik has theological-spiritual, psychological, and social dimensions that contribute to purification of the soul, inner peace, and community solidarity. This practice forms a sustainable religious habit through a cue–routine–reward pattern, so that it becomes an integral part of the lifestyle of students and can be understood as a sufistic heritage that remains relevant in the modern era.

This study examines the transformation of Islamic da'wah institutions in Indonesia through social entrepreneurship innovation, focusing on the Darunnajah Islamic Boarding School in Jakarta. The aim is to understand how the Islamic boarding school adapts to socio-economic changes without abandoning its da'wah values. This study uses a library research methodology, referring to Kurt Lewin's (1947) theory of change, which consists of three stages: Unfreezing, Changing, and Refreezing. The findings indicate that during the Unfreezing phase, Darunnajah raises students' awareness of the need to develop traditional da'wah models. During the Changing phase, the Islamic boarding school implements social entrepreneurship innovations through various structures, such as cooperatives, Hajj travel agencies, and agribusiness. Finally, during the Refreezing phase, the values ​​of independence and professionalism are institutionalized within the boarding school's culture. Key factors contributing to its success are visionary leadership, a culture of student autonomy, and alumni support; obstacles encountered include internal resistance and a lack of resources. Overall, Darunnajah has succeeded in becoming an adaptive and productive model of modern da'wah that remains rooted in Islamic values.

This study traces the historical and intellectual processes that enabled Plato's ideas to enter the tradition of Islamic philosophy and subsequently influence Islamic boarding school education in Indonesia. Starting from the increasing openness of Islamic boarding schools to classical humanities, this study aims to understand how Plato's ideas were transferred from the context of Ancient Greece, reinterpreted by Muslim philosophers, and integrated into traditional learning practices. Using a library-based qualitative approach with hermeneutic, historical-intellectual, and thematic methods, this study analyzes the transmission pathways that include the Abbasid translation movement, the interpretive contributions of figures such as Al-Kindi, Al-Farabi, and Ibn Sina, and the absorption of concepts through literature on ethics, logic, and adab. The findings show that Islamic boarding schools did not inherit Plato's ideas directly, but rather through the Islamic philosophical tradition that reshaped Platonic elements to fit the Islamic intellectual framework. Concepts related to spiritual education, character building, and ethical rationality are in line with the orientation of tazkiyah al-nafs, which is the foundation of Islamic boarding school pedagogy. This study confirms that the relationship between Plato's ideas and Islamic education emerged through a long creative process, not merely a transfer of texts. Practically, these findings highlight opportunities to develop a more reflective, critical, and virtue-centered pesantren curriculum, while encouraging further ethnographic research to explore how the classical philosophical heritage is reinterpreted in contemporary santri learning practices.

This study presents a comparative analysis of the practice of talaqqi in the science of qira’at in Indonesia and Syria, two significant regions in the transmission of sanad-based Qur’anic recitation. Based on the premise that talaqqi is the primary method for preserving the authenticity of the Qur’an—yet its standards, patterns, and scholarly framework have developed differently across regions this research aims to identify the similarities and differences in requirements, implementation methods, stages, and reference texts used in talaqqi qira’at in both countries. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a multi-site design: in Indonesia at Pondok Pesantren Al-Munawwir Krapyak, Yanbu’ul Qur’an Kudus, Bustanu ‘Usysyaqil Qur’an Demak, and Al-Hikmah Semarang; and in Syria at Muhyiddin Ibn ‘Arabi Mosque, Mujamma’ Sheikh Ahmad Kuftaro, Maghribiyah Mosque, and the Qira’at Department of Bilad Syam University, Al-Fath al-Islamy branch. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis, and then analyzed descriptively and analytically. The findings reveal that both countries require memorization of the Qur’an (30 juz), conduct talaqqi through face-to-face musyafahah, follow the sequential stages of ifrād jam‘ (including mufradat, jama‘ shughra, and jama‘ kubra), and refer to the Syāthibiyyah poem as a foundational text. However, Indonesia tends to focus on qira’at sab‘ah within the pesantren system, with simpler entry requirements and reliance on the practical manual Faidhul Barokat. In contrast, Syria emphasizes qira’at ‘asyrah with stricter selection standards, implementation in mosques and universities, recitations accompanied by evidence from Syāthibiyyah and ad-Durrah, and extensive support from various commentaries and jam‘ al-qirā’āt muṣḥafs. These findings reinforce the role of Indonesian pesantren in the global qira’at tradition and provide a basis for evaluating and developing a more integrative talaqqi qira’at curriculum that balances theoretical understanding and practical mastery.

This study examines the use of digital Qur’an applications at Pondok Pesantren Al-Asy‘ariyyah Kalibeber by focusing on the relationship between technological practicality and the preservation of the printed mushaf. Employing a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving pesantren leaders, teachers, active students, and senior students. The findings reveal that the digital Qur’an is accepted as a supporting learning medium due to its practicality and efficiency, particularly for students with sufficient digital literacy. However, the printed mushaf remains the primary reference in Qur’anic learning as a form of respect for its sacred value, the pesantren’s scholarly tradition, and the limited digital literacy among senior students and teachers. This study demonstrates that the utilization of the digital Qur’an in the pesantren context is selective and contextual, serving as a complementary tool rather than a replacement for the mushaf. These findings indicate that pesantren are capable of responding to technological developments in a balanced and tradition-oriented manner.
