Islamic Religious Education In The Context OfMulticulturalism And Globalization

Abstract

This research addresses the implementation and effectiveness of Kuttab Al-Fatih’s distinctive educational philosophy, which is guided by the principles of "faith before Quran," "adab (manners) before
knowledge," and "knowledge before action." The primary objective is to analyze how this pedagogical
framework contributes to Islamic character formation and the integration of practical life skills within
contemporary educational contexts. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were gathered
through field observations, structured interviews with teachers and students, and analysis of curriculum materials. The findings indicate that the structured application of these foundational principles
significantly shapes students into morally disciplined, responsible, and spiritually motivated individuals. Moreover, the curriculum’s emphasis on Quran memorization, ethical manners, and practical skills
such as literacy, Arabic proficiency, and physical activities like archery, reflect a robust integration of
traditional Islamic education with modern societal demands. Ultimately, this study highlights Kuttab
Al-Fatih’s effective role in revitalizing traditional Islamic educational practices, providing a viable educational model addressing contemporary challenges in Islamic education.
