This study aims to analyze the definition and concept map of Islamic Education (IPI) within the philosophical framework of Prof. Dr. Hasan Langgulung. IPI is strategically positioned as a discipline that bridges theoretical studies and educational practices in responding to contemporary challenges, while also serving as a foundation for character formation. The method used is library research with a qualitative approach, analyzing primary and secondary documents to synthesize a complete IPI concept map. The results of the study show that Langgulung defines IPI comprehensively as a normative field of science, exploring the process of multi-dimensional human growth (physical, soul, mind, spirit), and utilizing integrative sources of knowledge (revelation, reason, experience). This approach is based on three solid philosophical pillars: Ontology (human nature and fitrah), Epistemology (integration of revelation, reason, and experience), and Axiology (utility values to form a perfect human being). Langgulung's thinking elevates the discussion of IPI from the operational level (Tarbiyah, Ta'lim, Ta'dib) to the philosophical level, providing a solid foundation for IPI as a complete discipline.The ultimate goal is to produce a perfect human being capable of fulfilling the balanced roles of 'Abdullah (servant of God) and Khalifatullah fil Ardh (leader on earth), by optimizing the full potential of human nature. This educational model is considered relevant in contemporary discourse to integrate religious and general knowledge and address the moral crisis.

This study aims to analyze the educational values contained in the Dalihan Na Tolu culture in the Mandailing community and its relevance to character education in schools. The research approach used is qualitative descriptive with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation of traditional leaders and the Mandailing community in Mandailing Natal Regency. The results of the study show that Dalihan Na Tolu, which includes the principles of Somba Marhula-hula, Elek Marboru, and Manat Mardongan Tubu, contains educational values such as respect, responsibility, empathy, cooperation, and mutual cooperation. These values have a strong relevance to character education in elementary school. The culture of Dalihan Na Tolu not only serves as a social system, but also as a source of moral and character education for the younger generation. In addition, the application of these traditional values in the context of modern education can strengthen students' cultural identities and foster mutual respect in the school environment. The integration of Dalihan Na Tolu into learning also has the potential to be an effective pedagogical strategy to build a harmonious and characterful school culture.

The era of automation has brought profound changes to the educational landscape through the integration of intelligent technologies, artificial intelligence, and digital systems that increasingly shape learning processes. This transformation not only affects the interaction patterns between educators and learners but also shifts foundational educational values and introduces significant ethical challenges. In the context of Islamic education, these changes require a reformulation of relevant educational values to preserve learners’ moral and spiritual integrity. This study aims to analyze Islamic educational values in the age of automation and examine their ethical implications for strengthening character education. Through a comprehensive literature-based approach, the study finds that values such as amanah (trustworthiness), adl (justice), ihsan (excellence), mas’uliyyah (accountability), and mujahadah (perseverance) serve as essential instruments in building learners’ character so they can use technology wisely and responsibly. Furthermore, the study emphasizes that automation demands the integration of digital literacy and Islamic moral literacy to prevent dehumanization, digital plagiarism, technology dependence, and the decline of spiritual awareness. The findings indicate that character education grounded in Islamic values provides a strong ethical framework for addressing emerging moral risks in the digital era. Therefore, curriculum reconstruction, strengthening the role of educators as “digital murrabbi,” and the proportional use of technology aligned with maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah are required. This research contributes by offering a comprehensive Islamic ethical perspective as a foundational framework for the development of character education amid the rapid and inevitable acceleration of automation.

This study aims to design and analyze a more effective Islamic Religious Education (IRE) learning model by integrating humanistic principles with Islamic spirituality. This integration is important because traditional IRE learning has largely focused on cognitive mastery, while affective and spiritual dimensions have not been developed optimally. Using a descriptive qualitative method with a literature study approach, this research reviews books, academic journals, and previous studies relevant to humanistic and spiritual-based learning. Content analysis is then employed to identify thematic patterns that explain how both approaches can strengthen one another within the IRE learning process. The findings reveal that integrating humanistic and spiritual elements results in deeper, more reflective, and transformative learning experiences. The humanistic approach allows students to develop self-awareness, value personal experiences, and fulfill emotional needs, whereas Islamic spirituality reinforces the values of tawhid, moral character, and divine consciousness. Teachers play a crucial role as facilitators who guide students through learning experiences that combine humanistic empathy and Islamic values. Authentic assessment methods such as reflection journals, moral portfolios, and behavioral observations are used to evaluate student development. Overall, this study concludes that an IRE learning design grounded in both humanistic and spiritual approaches can foster intellectually capable, emotionally mature, and spiritually grounded learners who are well-prepared to face the challenges of the digital era.

The spiritual crisis among students in the digital age is increasingly evident through a decline in interest in worship, low moral awareness, and an increase in individualistic lifestyles that affect the formation of faith and moral competence. This condition requires the development of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) learning that is not only oriented towards cognitive understanding, but also fosters a deep spiritual awareness among students. This study aims to analyze the role of reflective-based PAI learning as a solution in strengthening students' faith and moral competence amid digital challenges. The method used is library research by examining books, curriculum policies, and relevant national and international journal articles over the last ten years. The results of the study show that the reflective approach, through activities such as muhasabah, personal journals, value dialogues, and tadabbur experiences, is able to increase self-awareness, faith appreciation, and strengthen social morals more effectively than conventional learning, which is one-way and teacher-centered. In addition, the integration of reflective values has been proven to support the achievement of basic PAI competencies as mandated in KMA No. 183/2019, especially in the spiritual and affective domains. These findings imply that PAI learning in the digital age needs to adopt a more participatory, contemplative, and experience-based design in order to foster character building.
