REVITALISASI PENDIDIKAN ISLAM: MENELUSURI JEJAK BUYA HAMKA DAN M. QURAISH SHIHAB DI ERA KONTEMPORER

Abstract

Revitalizing Islamic education is a necessity in the contemporary era, facing the challenges of globalization, digitalization, and socio-cultural change. This study examines the revitalization of Islamic education by analyzing in depth the thoughts of two prominent Indonesian Muslim intellectuals, Buya Hamka and M. Quraish Shihab, and their relevance to contemporary Islamic education. This study uses a qualitative method with a library research approach, collecting and analyzing data from the primary works of both figures, scientific journals, articles, and other relevant documents. The results show that the thoughts of Buya Hamka and M. Quraish Shihab provide a strong conceptual foundation for the revitalization of Islamic education. Buya Hamka emphasizes the importance of education as a maximum effort to grow and strengthen the individual, with a focus on strengthening the purpose of human creation as servants, the spirit of talabul 'ilmi, instilling the faith of monotheism from an early age, and instilling noble morals. Meanwhile, M. Quraish Shihab highlights multicultural education that recognizes diversity as the sunnatullah, egalitarianism, brotherhood, mutual assistance, and mutual understanding. Their thinking is relevant in shaping contextual, adaptive, and transformative curricula and learning strategies to face the challenges of the digital era and the industrial revolution 4.0. This revitalization includes curriculum modernization, the use of digital technology, strengthening educator competencies, and integrating Islamic values ​​with the demands of modernity, without losing the essence of religious teachings. The implementation of the thinking of these two figures is expected to reconstruct Islamic education so that it continues to exist and makes a real contribution to civilization, producing a generation that excels intellectually and morally.
