Pendidikan Berbasis Filsafat Islam dalam Konteks Global
Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis landasan filosofis, integrasi global, dan tantangan epistemologis pendidikan berbasis Islam dalam konteks modernisasi global dan transformasi digital. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan Systematic Literature Review (SLR) dengan menganalisis 40 artikel peer-reviewed yang terindeks Scopus dan basis data internasional lainnya untuk mengidentifikasi pola, tren, dan perkembangan teoretis filsafat pendidikan Islam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa filsafat pendidikan Islam menawarkan kerangka holistik yang mengintegrasikan dimensi intelektual, moral, dan spiritual, serta memandang pengetahuan sebagai sarana penyucian diri (tazkiyat al-nafs) dan pengembangan moral. Tiga temuan utama diperoleh, yaitu: (1) paradigma pendidikan Islam bersifat teosentris dengan mengharmonisasikan wahyu dan akal (‘aql) sebagai sumber epistemologis; (2) integrasi nilai Islam dalam pendidikan global relevan untuk membangun etika universal, karakter, dan pembelajaran humanistik; serta (3) era digital menuntut penguatan etika digital dan pendekatan transdisipliner yang selaras dengan nilai spiritual. Penelitian ini menegaskan pentingnya reformasi kurikulum dan pedagogi berbasis nilai untuk mendukung pembangunan manusia holistik abad ke-21.

Fenomena Dukun Online di Tiktok Indonesia: Analisis Ilmu Tauhid, Syirik, dan Komersialisasi Spiritual
Fenomena munculnya dukun online di platform media sosial, terutama TikTok, telah menjadi sebuah realitas baru yang mengubah praktik perdukunan tradisional menjadi ritual digital yang terkomersialisasi. Dukun online menawarkan jasa spiritual berbayar, seperti pembersihan aura, ramalan, penyelarasan energi, dan pemanggilan khodam, melalui fitur live streaming yang didukung algoritma platform untuk menjangkau ribuan hingga jutaan penonton.

This study examines the transformation of K.H. Imam Zarkasyi's educational thought through the concept of Trilogi Jiwa (sincerity, simplicity, and self-reliance) as the philosophical foundation of Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor within the landscape of modern Islamic education in Indonesia.
