Learning Methods in the Book Ta’lim al-Muta’allim by Az-Zarnuji: A Study of Classical Islamic Educational Thought

The book Ta’lim al-Muta’allim by Az-Zarnuji remains a foundational text in the realm of Islamic education. This classical work offers a comprehensive discussion of ethical, spiritual, and methodological aspects of the learning process in Islam. The present study is motivated by the need for Islamic pedagogical models that go beyond cognitive development and also emphasize character formation and proper student conduct. The objective of this research is to explore the educational methods presented in Ta’lim al-Muta’allim and analyze their relevance to contemporary Islamic education. This study employs a qualitative approach using library research methods. Data were gathered through an in-depth textual analysis of Ta’lim al-Muta’allim and supported by classical and modern Islamic educational literature. The data were analyzed thematically to identify the core values, learning strategies, and pedagogical principles emphasized by Az-Zarnuji. The findings reveal that Ta’lim al-Muta’allim promotes learning methods that begin with sincere intention, the careful selection of teachers and companions, and the cultivation of proper etiquette toward knowledge, teachers, and peers. Its learning strategies—such as i’adah (repetition), tikrar (intensive review), taammul (deep reflection), and munazharah (discussion)—show strong alignment with modern pedagogical approaches. Moreover, personal virtues such as patience, humility (tawadhu’), piety (wara’), and trust in God (tawakkul) are deemed essential for student development. This study concludes that Az-Zarnuji’s educational philosophy remains highly relevant for character-based and spiritual education in modern Islamic learning environments.The book Ta’lim al-Muta’allim by Az-Zarnuji remains a foundational text in the realm of Islamic education.

Pemetaan Tipologi Pesantren di Desa Santri: Studi Kasus Desa Ganjaran Kabupaten Malang

Pesantren merupakan institusi pendidikan Islam tertua di Indonesia yang terus mengalami perkembangan dan transformasi hingga tetap relevan dalam sistem pendidikan nasional. Salah satu wilayah yang memiliki konsentrasi pesantren cukup tinggi adalah Desa Ganjaran, Kecamatan Gondanglegi, Kabupaten Malang, yang dikenal sebagai Desa Santri. Namun, kajian akademik yang secara spesifik mengidentifikasi dan mengklasifikasikan tipologi pesantren di wilayah ini masih sangat terbatas. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menginventarisasi seluruh pesantren di Desa Ganjaran serta mengkaji tipologinya berdasarkan teori-teori pendidikan pesantren dan kesesuaiannya dengan regulasi pendidikan nasional. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Data dikumpulkan melalui dokumentasi arsip desa, situs resmi pesantren, dokumen internal lembaga, wawancara mendalam, serta observasi lapangan. Analisis data dilakukan melalui teknik pattern matching dan cross-case synthesis untuk mengidentifikasi pola-pola klasifikasi berdasarkan dimensi historis, sistem pembelajaran, kepemimpinan, legalitas, serta pengaruh sosial keagamaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 24 pesantren aktif di Desa Ganjaran. Pesantren tertua berdiri sejak tahun 1908 dan yang termuda didirikan pada 2023. Seluruh pesantren masih menganut sistem tradisional (salafiyah) dan sebagian besar masih dipimpin langsung oleh pendirinya. Pesantren telah memiliki fasilitas yang tergolong lengkap, namun sebagian belum memiliki izin operasional resmi. Secara umum, mayoritas pesantren memiliki pengaruh keagamaan yang meluas hingga luar Pulau Jawa, meskipun tidak ada yang memiliki lebih dari seribu santri mukim. Temuan ini memberikan kontribusi terhadap pemahaman akademik tentang diversitas pesantren dalam satu wilayah desa serta implikasinya terhadap pengembangan kebijakan pendidikan Islam berbasis komunitas lokal.Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) are the oldest educational institutions in Indonesia, having undergone continuous development and transformation while maintaining their relevance within the national education system. One area with a high concentration of pesantren is Ganjaran Village, located in Gondanglegi Subdistrict, Malang Regency, widely recognized as a “Santri Village.” However, academic studies that specifically identify and classify the typology of pesantren in this area remain limited. This study, therefore, aims to comprehensively inventory all pesantren in Ganjaran Village and examine their typologies based on established theories of Islamic boarding school education and their alignment with national educational regulations. A qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach was employed. Data were collected through village archival documentation, official pesantren websites, internal institutional documents, in-depth interviews, and field observations. Data analysis was conducted using pattern matching and cross-case synthesis techniques to identify classification patterns based on historical dimensions, learning systems, leadership, legal status, and socio-religious influence. The findings reveal the presence of 24 active pesantren in Ganjaran Village. The oldest was established in 1908, and the most recent in 2023. All institutions follow a traditional (salafiyah) system, with most still under the leadership of their respective founders. While the majority are equipped with relatively complete facilities, some lack formal operational permits. Generally, most pesantren exert considerable religious influence extending beyond Java Island, although none have more than one thousand resident students. These findings contribute to the academic understanding of pesantren diversity within a single village context and offer valuable insights for the development of community-based Islamic education policies

Ecology from the Perspective of Islamic Education: A Study of Kauniyah Verses and Their Relevance to the Green Curriculum

The global ecological crisis is a pressing contemporary issue that demands immediate attention across various sectors, including education. Within the context of Islamic education, ecological values are deeply embedded in the teachings of the Qur’an through kauniyah (cosmic) verses that depict the order of nature and human responsibility as stewards (khalifah) on Earth. This study aims to examine the ecological principles within Islamic teachings and assess their relevance to the development of a green curriculum based on Islamic values. The main focus is to understand how kauniyah verses can serve as a conceptual foundation in formulating an Islamic education curriculum that is responsive to environmental issues. This research employs a qualitative approach using library research methods, in which data were collected through literature reviews of the Qur’an, the tafsir of Ibn Kathir, scholarly journals, Islamic education texts, and educational policy documents from international institutions such as UNESCO. The data were analyzed descriptively and qualitatively by classifying kauniyah verses related to ecology and examining their integration into the Islamic educational curriculum. The findings indicate that Islam offers a comprehensive ecological worldview encompassing principles such as khalifah (vicegerency), amanah (trust), mīzān (balance), and iṣlāḥ (restoration). These values can be integrated into the curriculum through interdisciplinary learning, the strengthening of environmental character education, and the promotion of spiritual-ecological habits. A green curriculum grounded in Islamic values can serve as a strategic solution to cultivate a generation that is not only intellectually competent but also environmentally responsible as part of their devotion to Allah SWT.The global ecological crisis is a pressing contemporary issue that demands immediate attention across various sectors, including education.
