Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Persis Islam/Persis or Islamic Association was a small group of Indonesian Muslim activists from 1923 to 1957 who provided many lessons about the values of Islamic education. The research approach in this article is qualitative. The research findings are that Persis Islamic boarding school education is different from the Islamic boarding school system in general in Indonesia. The Islamic boarding school system seeks to combine Islamic education with general education and needs to recognize the dichotomy between the two. The Persis Islamic Boarding School education system has an educational curriculum that applies to Persis education from childhood education to university. In Persis' view, the purpose of education is not to become a civil servant. Still, the first thing is to believe in Allah, not to associate partners with Allah or forbid committing shirk and maintaining morals. Another finding is that the main source of educational value at the Persis Islamic Boarding School is the Al-Qur'an and Hadith. From this source emanate three main values, namely aqidah, worship, and muamalah; of these three central values is the habit of forming morals al-karimah (character) with all its derivatives such as honesty, sincerity, trust, discipline, struggle, and so on. These values are inherited and shape the students' personalities to later live as Indonesian citizen.
