Revitalizing Islamic Boarding School and Madrasah Traditions to Strengthen Islamic Civilization in Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam
Islamic education in the Malay Archipelago region plays a strategic role in maintaining the continuity of Islamic civilization and cultural identity. This study aims to analyze the revitalization of Islamic educational traditions through Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia and madrasahs in Brunei Darussalam in the face of the dynamics of the modern era. This study uses a comparative qualitative approach with a cross-country literature review design. Data were collected from national and international journal articles, academic books, and official documents from Islamic educational institutions. Data analysis was conducted interactively through the stages of reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing based on the Miles and Huberman model. The results show that Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia have high flexibility in social adaptation and educational innovation, while madrasahs in Brunei Darussalam have developed in a structured manner through state policies based on the Malay Islamic Beraja ideology. Revitalization in both countries simultaneously integrates traditional values with contextual curriculum renewal. This study confirms that Islamic education functions not only as a means of transmitting religious teachings, but also as an instrument for preserving the cultural and moral identity of society. These findings contribute conceptually to the strengthening of the Islamic civilization of the Archipelago and open up directions for the development of a sustainable Islamic education model that is responsive to global challenges.

Integration of Islamic Educational Values in the Archipelagic Culture as a Foundation of National Character Building
This study aims to analyze the integration of Islamic educational values in the culture of the Indonesian archipelago as an effort to strengthen the character of a religious, civilized, and distinctive nation. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this study combines literature review, text analysis, and historical study to examine how Islamic values—such as monotheism, morals, knowledge, and charity—are internalized in local cultural practices. The findings show that the acculturation between Islam and the culture of the archipelago has produced a moderate, tolerant, and contextual Islamic character. Various traditions such as selametan, tahlilan, and the development of Islamic boarding schools show that Islamic teachings are able to blend harmoniously without losing their religious substance. The novelty of this research lies in its analysis of the synergistic relationship between Islamic educational values and Nusantara traditions as a strategy for nation building in the era of globalization. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of preserving local culture based on Islamic values as the foundation for strengthening national identity

Islamic Scholarly Traditions s in Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam: A Meta-Conceptual Study
: The tradition of Islamic scholarship in the Malay Archipelago, particularly in Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam, reflects a rich and dynamic intellectual heritage that has not yet been systematically and contextually formulated. This study seeks to develop a meta-conceptual model of Islamic scholarly tradition in both countries through a synthesis of literature across classical, modern, and contemporary periods. The research employs a systematic literature review combined with meta-conceptual synthesis, engaging the works of classical thinkers such as Al-Ghazali, Al-Attas, and Al-Faruqi; modern reformers such as Natsir, Madjid, and Rahman; and contemporary empirical scholars including Azra, Dhofier, Bowen, Ooi Keat Gin, and Pehin Abdul Aziz. The synthesis identifies six core meta-concepts: (1) epistemic drivers of knowledge, (2) ethical and spiritual dispositions (adab al-‘ilm), (3) institutional and communal learning structures, (4) experiential and transmissive learning (ta‘līm, tarbiyah, and tazkiyah), (5) dialectical balance between revelation and reason, and (6) intellectual outcomes and cultural transformation. These findings demonstrate that Islamic scholarship operates as an integrated system linking spirituality, ethics, and social transformation—manifesting a plural-reflective character in Indonesia and a normative-integrative character in Brunei Darussalam. The novelty of this research lies in constructing a meta-conceptual framework that bridges theological, ethical, and institutional dimensions within the paradigm of Islamic epistemology. This framework contributes to enriching Islamic epistemological discourse and offers a theoretical foundation for contextualizing Islamic education in Southeast Asia.

Islamic Civilization and Women's Rights A Historical Review of Women's Position and Contribution in Science, Politics, and Family
This study is motivated by the stigma that Islam limits women's roles to the domestic sphere, which often ignores the historical fact that Islamic civilization has a rich history of women's contributions in the fields of science, politics, and family. The purpose of this study is to historically review the position and role of women in the three main domains of Islamic civilization while reanalyzing key fiqh concepts that are often misused to limit women's public participation. The methods used were historical-analytical literature study and critical discourse analysis, tracing 40 primary and secondary sources in the form of scientific books, accredited journal articles, and reputable proceedings. The results of the study reveal that Muslim women have made significant contributions, ranging from hadith narrators such as Aisha r.a., scientists, founders of large institutions such as Fatima al-Fihri, to sovereign political figures such as Syajarat ad-Durr and Sultana Aceh. The analysis shows that restrictions on women's public roles in post-classical fiqh traditions are more influenced by cultural patriarchal bias ('urf) than by absolute theological foundations. In the archipelago, the Aisyiyah organization, through the Dakwah Bil Hal movement and the figure of Prof. Siti Baroroh Baried as the first female professor in Indonesia, proves the transformative role of women in education and health. The novelty of this research lies in the critical reinterpretation of the concepts of qawwamah and wilayah, which are oriented towards benefit and justice, as well as the strengthening of the view of women as vital agents of change in the domestic and public spheres in Tamadun Islam Nusantara, contributing significantly to contemporary gender and Islamic studies.

Integration of Islamic Values of the Archipelago, Pancasila, and Panca Waluya in Strengthening Student Character in SMAN 23 Bandung
This study aims to analyze the integration of Islamic values of the Archipelago, Pancasila, and Panca Waluya in strengthening character education for students at SMAN 23 Bandung. Islam of the Archipelago teaches moderation, tolerance, mutual cooperation, and respect for local culture, values that are in line with Pancasila as the foundation of the Indonesian state. Meanwhile, Panca Waluya which in Sundanese tradition is embodied in the values of cageur (healthy), bageur (noble character), bener (honest and fair), pinter (intelligent and wise), and singer (responsive and agile) provides a practical dimension in shaping student character. This study used a qualitative method with a case study approach at SMAN 23 Bandung. Data were collected through observation, interviews with teachers and students, and review of school documents. The results show that the integration of these three values is evident in learning, extracurricular activities, the Pancasila student profile strengthening program, and everyday school culture. Islam Nusantara serves as the religious foundation, Pancasila as the ideological framework, and Panca Waluya as the enforcer of character education practices based on local wisdom. This integration contributes to the formation of students who are religious, nationalistic, polite, healthy, intelligent, honest, and have a strong work ethic. Thus, the values of Islam Nusantara, Pancasila, and Panca Waluya are relevant for strengthening character education in the era of globalization.

The Role Of Islamic Tamadun In The Formation Of Social And Economic Ethics Of Islamic Communities In Indonesia And Brunei Darussalam
This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic civilization in shaping the social and economic ethics of Muslim communities in Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam. The focus of the study lies in how Islamic values ​​are applied and adapted within the cultural, social, and economic contexts of the two countries. This study uses a qualitative approach with content analysis methods on various literature, academic documents, and previous research results.

Islamic Education and Archipelago Culture
Islamic education in the archipelago is the result of a creative dialectic between universal Islamic values and the local cultural reality that is deeply rooted in the traditions of the island communities. It has grown into a system that not only transfers knowledge, but also transforms personalities and instills good manners. In the context of the Islamic civilization of the archipelago, education functions as the primary instrument for shaping the identity and character of the people. Through institutions such as Islamic boarding schools, prayer rooms, madrasas, and meunasah, Islamic values blend with language, art, and customs, giving rise to a friendly and moderate face of Islam. This article examines the reciprocal relationship between Islamic education and the culture of the archipelago through a historical-philosophical approach with qualitative-descriptive analysis. The focus of the study is directed at the role of Islamic educational institutions as agents of culture, the internalization of Aswaja values in the context of plurality, and the relevance of Islamic education in the archipelago in facing the challenges of modernity and globalization. The results of the study show that the Islamic education system in the archipelago not only produces scholars and intellectuals, but also maintains the continuity of Islamic civilization rooted in local wisdom. Amidst the disruption of values, civilized and cultured Islamic education is key to maintaining the spiritual and cultural integrity of the nation.

The Concept of Al-Wasatiyyah (Moderation) in Building Social Cohesion and Religious Tolerance in a Multicultural Society
: Indonesia, as the world's largest archipelago, has a high level of cultural, linguistic, and religious diversity, which is both a source of national strength and a source of social conflict, intolerance, and extremism. In this context, a theological and practical paradigm is needed that can promote social cohesion, tolerance, and national unity. This study aims to analyze the theological concept of Al-Wasatiyyah as the foundation of Islamic moderation, identify strategies for its implementation in increasing religious tolerance, and explore the relevance of Tamadun Islam Nusantara as the embodiment of Al-Wasatiyyah values in Indonesia. The research method uses a descriptive-analytical qualitative approach with a literature study of secondary data in the form of academic literature, the Qur'an, hadith, books by scholars, journal articles, proceedings, theses, and dissertations, analyzed through content analysis and comparative-analytical methods. The results show that Al-Wasatiyyah, through the principles of justice ('Adalah), balance (Tawazun), and rejection of extremism (Ghuluw), contributes to the formation of social cohesion and the strengthening of tolerance, as reflected in the practices of interfaith dialogue, moderate Sufism, contextual fiqh, and inclusive Islamic boarding school education. The novelty of this research lies in its integrative approach that connects theological, historical-cultural, and social praxis dimensions, so that it not only describes theory or history, but also the applicable strategies of Al-Wasatiyyah in the context of a multicultural society. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of strengthening education, socialization, and policies based on Islamic moderation as instruments for building an inclusive society, reducing social conflict, and strengthening national unity, while also opening up opportunities for field research to evaluate more contextual practices of religious moderation in Indonesia.

Peace Education and Islamic Perspectives in The Malay Archipelago: A Literature Review
This study aims to analyze the interrelation between peace education and the Islamic archipelagic perspective (Islam Nusantara) as an educational paradigm rooted in moderation, tolerance, and universal human values. Employing a library research approach, this study reviews ten academic journal articles, books, and relevant online sources. Using content analysis, the research critically examines the theoretical foundations of peace education and the core values of Islam Nusantara to identify their intersections within the context of Islamic education in Indonesia. The findings reveal that peace education grounded in the principles of Islam Nusantara serves as a foundation for developing a civilized, inclusive, and socially just national character. Islam Nusantara, with its values of tawassuth (moderation), tasamuh (tolerance), tawazun (balance), and i’tidal (justice), provides a moral and cultural framework for a contextual and relevant peace education model within Indonesia’s diverse society. The integration of these two paradigms not only reinforces religious moderation but also cultivates a peace-oriented awareness deeply rooted in local wisdom and the Islamic tradition of rahmatan lil ‘alamin.

Using a descriptive qualitative method, the study employs literature review and textual analysis of Gunawan Ikhtiono's work, supported by secondary field data. The findings reveal that Islamic values—such as honesty, responsibility, simplicity, and compassion—align with Orang Rimba's life principles: self-awareness, adherence to custom, and harmony with nature. The synergy between Islam and local culture provides a strong foundation for strengthening national character education in line with the rahmatan lil 'alamin concept. This research highlights the significance of revitalizing Islamic-based local culture to create morally grounded, contextually aware, and culturally rooted generations.

The Dynamics of Law, Politics, and Economics in the ormation of an Islamic-Based Civil Society
An Islamic civil society is an integrative social construct between law, politics, and economics rooted in the value of tawhid. Islamic law functions as a normative system to uphold justice and protect the public interest, based on the principle of maqashid al-shari'ah which guarantees basic human rights. Islamic politics embodies fair and participatory governance through the concepts of siyasah syar‘iyyah and syura, with examples of implementation in pluralistic Indonesia and monarchical Brunei, both of which reflect Islamic morality in government. Islamic economics plays a role as a fair social welfare system with mechanisms such as zakat, infaq, waqf, and sharia finance to distribute wealth evenly and avoid exploitation, while uniting ethics with productivity as a form of social worship. The Islamic civilization of the archipelago serves as an integrative framework that harmonizes Islamic values with local wisdom, emphasizing moderation, humanity, and mutual cooperation as spiritual practices relevant to the challenges of the modern world and an adaptive and tolerant attitude. This study makes an important contribution in establishing Islamic civil society as a civilization that balances spirituality, morality, and rationality as an alternative to secularism and capitalism, placing humans as caliphs responsible for social justice and the preservation of civilization. The implications of the study's findings emphasize the importance of strengthening the foundations of Islamic values in the development of an inclusive and just society. This study has limitations in its contextual scope, which is limited to Indonesia and Brunei, so it is recommended that more extensive and in-depth research be conducted to enrich the understanding of Islamic civil society globally.

Comparison of Islamic Education in Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam
This research is motivated by the importance of understanding the role of Islamic education in preserving and developing Malay-Islamic civilization in the archipelago, particularly in Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam, which, despite having the same Islamic historical roots, have developed within different national policy and philosophical frameworks. The purpose of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis of the Islamic education systems in both countries, examine the integration of Islamic values with local culture, and evaluate their contribution to the formation of Islamic civilization character and identity. The methodology used is a descriptive qualitative approach through literature study and comparative analysis of policy documents, academic journals, official reports, and relevant classical and contemporary literature. The results show that Indonesia has developed pluralistic and decentralized Islamic education through Islamic boarding schools, madrasas, and Islamic universities that are adaptive to modern science and technology, while Brunei emphasizes vertically integrated Islamic education under the Malay Islamic Beraja (MIB) philosophy, with a focus on uniformity of values, loyalty to religion and the king, and socio-political stability. The novelty of this research lies in mapping Islamic educational values that connect tradition and modernity in their respective national contexts, while offering a cross-country comparative perspective that supports the strengthening of Islamic civilization. The implications of this research show that Islamic education not only plays a role in preserving spiritual and cultural values, but also serves as a strategic instrument in nation-building, research development, and regional collaboration to strengthen the position of Islamic civilization in the era of globalization.

Synergy Between Islamic Law, Islamic Politics, and Islamic Economics in Building a Modern Islamic Civilization
Synergy between law, politics, and economics supports each other in building a modern Islamic civilization that is just, competitive, and based on sharia values. From an Islamic perspective, these three aspects do not stand alone, but are interrelated within the framework of maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah to achieve the welfare of the people (maslahah). This study uses a descriptive-analytical approach by examining primary Islamic sources such as the Qur'an, Hadith, and the thoughts of classical and contemporary scholars. The results of the analysis show that Islamic law functions as a moral and normative foundation in regulating society; Islamic politics plays a role in ensuring justice, stability, and trustworthy governance; while Islamic economics is an instrument for the fair and ethical distribution of wealth. The synergy of these three elements gives rise to a modern Islamic civilization system that is inclusive, adaptive to global developments, yet remains grounded in the principles of monotheism, social justice, and balance. Thus, the integration of Islamic law, politics, and economics is the key to building an advanced and sustainable Islamic civilization in the modern era.

The Transformation of Islamic Education in the Formation of the Cultural Identity of the Archipelago: A Comparative Study of Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam
The transformation of Islamic education in the Nusantara region holds a vital role in preserving the continuity of Malay-Islamic cultural values. This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic education in shaping cultural identity in Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam as representations of the heritage of Islamic Civilization in the Malay Archipelago. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach through literature analysis and a comparative study of educational policies, curricula, and Islamic value orientations in both countries. Data were collected from primary and secondary sources, including official documents, scholarly articles, and recent research findings. The analysis reveals that Islamic education in Indonesia is oriented toward religious moderation, cultural adaptation, and multiculturalism, while Islamic education in Brunei Darussalam emphasizes the Malay Islamic Monarchy ideology, which upholds loyalty and moral integrity. These differences have resulted in two distinct models of Islamic education that both preserve the values of Islamic civilization within their respective social contexts. The integration of religion, culture, and educational policy demonstrates that Islamic education plays a strategic role in strengthening the cultural identity of the Nusantara. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the continuity of Islamic Civilization in Southeast Asia and its relevance in addressing the challenges of educational globalization.

The Role Of Islamic Educational Institutions in The Formation of Malay Cultural Identity in Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam
This study examines the role of Islamic educational institutions in shaping the Malay cultural identity in Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam as an integral part of the Malay-Islamic Civilization (Tamadun Islam Nusantara). The study is motivated by the academic gap in understanding how Islamic education functions not only as a medium for transmitting religious knowledge but also as an agent for preserving Malay-Islamic cultural values. The objective of this research is to comparatively analyze the models of Islamic education in Indonesia and Brunei and their implications for the development of the Malay-Islamic civilization in the Southeast Asian region. The study employs a qualitative approach with a literature review design, drawing on national and international scholarly sources. The analysis identifies the similarities and differences in the educational systems of both countries based on historical, ideological, and sociocultural dimensions. The findings reveal that Indonesia represents an inclusive, adaptive, and pluralistic model of Islamic education, whereas Brunei implements an educational system integrated within the philosophy of Melayu Islam Beraja, emphasizing value uniformity and social loyalty. These distinctions illustrate two complementary paradigms of civilization that sustain the continuity of Malay-Islamic identity. The study concludes that Islamic education in both nations plays a strategic role in strengthening the cultural and spiritual heritage of the Malay world while serving as a fundamental pillar for the development of an Islamic civilization rooted in local values with a global outlook.

Revitalization of Islamic Education Based on Archipelago Culture in Indonesia
The revitalization of Islamic education based on the culture of the archipelago is a strategic response to the challenges of modernization, which tends to ignore local values in the education system. This study aims to examine the integration of local culture in Islamic education practices in Indonesia, focusing on the role of Islamic boarding schools, oral traditions, and the contributions of traditional leaders and scholars in shaping the character of students. The method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of literature studies, interviews, and limited observations in representative regions, namely Banten, Central Java, and Aceh. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative approach between Islamic education, local culture, and social communities, which has not been widely explored in contemporary Islamic education studies. The results of the study show that Islamic education that adopts the cultural values of the archipelago can strengthen a moderate, tolerant, and contextual Islamic identity. The theoretical and practical implications of this study point to the development of a contextual curriculum, teacher training based on local culture, and collaboration between educational institutions and cultural communities. Thus, Islamic education based on Nusantara culture has the potential to become an important foundation in shaping a generation that is characterful, cultured, and able to respond to the challenges of globalization without losing its traditional roots.

Assisted Reproductive Technology Regulations in Indonesia: A Systematic Review from the Perspectives of Health Law and Islamic Fiqh in the Archipelago
Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) raises complex legal, ethical, and religious implications in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the synchronization between positive health regulations in Indonesia and the Islamic Fiqh perspective in the archipelago regarding ART practices. This study uses a systematic literature review method of secondary data sources, including scientific literature, the latest legislation (Law No. 17 of 2023; Government Regulation No. 28 of 2024; Minister of Health Regulation No. 2 of 2025), and the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) fatwa. The collected data were analyzed using thematic synthesis. The main results show a strong synchronization between positive law and Fiqh. The new regulations explicitly prohibit the practice of gamete donation (sperm/ovum/embryo) and surrogacy, which is fully in line with the MUI Fatwa based on the principle of protecting lineage (hifdz an-nasl). A key finding is the inclusion of an explicit clause in Law 17/2023 and Government Regulation 28/2024 that the implementation of ART “does not conflict with religious norms,” which proves the absorption of Fiqh values into state law. In conclusion, TRB regulations in Indonesia are not secular, but actively integrate the values of Tamadun Islam Nusantara to strengthen the social order and protect lineage. This review also identifies ‘gray areas’ such as sex selection, which require further regulatory review.

Campus Mosques as Non-Formal Educational Spaces: A Systematic Review of Indonesia & Brunei
This article presents a systematic literature review of campus mosques as spaces for nonformal education in Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam, grounded in the civilizational heritage of the Malay-Nusantara Islamic tradition. The review maps key practices— mentoring/ḥalaqah, Qur’anic literacy (tadabbur/khatam), character and leadership formation, as well as civic and religious moderation. Thematic analysis yields five core insights: (1) small group models consistently nurture worship habits, integrity, and soft skills; (2) institutional integration of Islamic values (e.g., HEI values in technology universities) through modular nonformal curricula with rubric-based assessment; (3) governance by mosque boards and academic units, supported by campus policy, determines program sustainability; (4) campus mosques increasingly function as hubs of socio-intellectual collaboration across disciplines and communities; and (5) in Brunei, the Melayu Islam Beraja (MIB) framework, Islamic education policies, and lifelong learning practices sustain university-mosque-based learning. The article recommends standardized outcome indicators, longitudinal multi-campus documentation, and Indonesia–Brunei networking for replicating effective practices.

Malay-Nusantara Islamic Civilization: A Historical Comparison of the Roles of the Demak Sultanate and Brunei Darussalam
This study examines the comparative roles of the Sultanate of Demak and the Sultanate of Brunei Darussalam in shaping Islamic civilization within the Malay–Nusantara region. The research is grounded in the need to understand Southeast Asian Islamic civilization as a product of religious propagation, maritime trade, and political interaction. The objective is to explain how both sultanates integrated religion and political authority to form distinctive Islamic governance rooted in local culture. Employing a historical–comparative method, the study analyzes primary sources such as classical manuscripts and chronicles, along with relevant secondary literature. The findings reveal that the Sultanate of Demak represents a revolutionary and transformational model of Islamic civilization, emphasizing Islamization through cultural propagation and community-based education. Conversely, the Sultanate of Brunei reflects an evolutionary and continuous model, institutionalizing Islamic values through the Melayu Islam Beraja (MIB) monarchy, which upholds stability, morality, and the continuity of Islamic law. The novelty of this research lies in its comparative analysis of two complementary maritime Islamic paradigms: Demak as a catalyst for social transformation and Brunei as a guardian of monarchical continuity. The implications suggest the importance of strengthening academic and historical collaboration among ASEAN countries to enhance understanding of maritime Islamic civilization as a foundation for intellectual and cultural integration in Southeast Asia.

The Role of Kiai and Elder Teachers in the Formation of Islamic Civilization in Indonesia and Brunei
Traditional Islamic education in the Malay–Nusantara region has played a significant historical role in shaping the Islamic civilization (Tamadun Islam) of Southeast Asia. Institutions such as pesantren in Indonesia and surau in Brunei have served not only as centers for religious education but also as social and cultural institutions that instill moral values and shape Muslim identity since the 17th century. This article aims to analyze the roles of the Kiai in Indonesia and the Guru Tua in Brunei in transmitting classical Islamic knowledge and inculcating the values of adab and akhlak through an educational approach based on ta’dib. The study shows that both Kiai and Guru Tua function as cultural and spiritual agents who maintain the continuity of Islamic traditions through a pedagogical system integrating knowledge, practice, and ethics. Traditional Islamic education in these regions emphasizes not only religious cognition but also the formation of civilized individuals in accordance with the concept of ta’dib, which lies at the heart of Islamic civilization. These findings affirm that pesantren and surau are strategic educational institutions in preserving Islamic values and strengthening the social cohesion of Malay–Nusantara Muslim societies in the modern era.

The Network of Scholars and Intellectual Mobility between Indonesia and Brunei in the Formation of the Malay-Nusantara Islamic Civilization
The long history of Islam in the Malay-Nusantara region reflects the dynamic intersection of religion, culture, and science that gave birth to a distinctive and moderate Islamic civilization. In this context, the relationship between Indonesia and Brunei became a crucial node in the formation of Islamic scholarly networks in Southeast Asia. This study aims to uncover the patterns of ulama networks and intellectual mobility between the two countries, and to analyze their contributions to the formation of the Malay-Nusantara Islamic civilization. The method used is a qualitative approach with a historical documentary study design, through the exploration of various primary sources such as classical manuscripts, Islamic educational archives, religious works, and related academic literature. The results show that the Indonesian-Brunei ulama network was formed through educational relationships, da'wah, and written works, which played a crucial role in developing a rational and inclusive Islamic scholarly tradition. This intellectual mobility became the foundation for the formation of a Malay Islamic civilization oriented towards the values of moderation and progress. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of strengthening the Islamic intellectual network between countries as a basis for academic collaboration and the preservation of scientific heritage in the Southeast Asian region.

The Intellectual Legacy of the Ulama of the Archipelago and Its Relevance to the Institutionalization of Islamic Civilization in Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam
Kajian ini berupaya mengungkap kesinambungan epistemik antara ulama Nusantara dan institusi keagamaan Brunei Darussalam dalam membentuk tamadun Islam di Asia Tenggara. Hubungan keilmuan lintas batas ini penting dikaji karena sebagian besar penelitian sebelumnya lebih banyak berfokus pada kontribusi ulama Nusantara terhadap perkembangan Islam di wilayah Indonesia dan Tanah Haramain, sementara peran dan pengaruhnya terhadap dinamika keislaman di Brunei Darussalam masih jarang mendapat perhatian ilmiah yang memadai. Penelitian ini menganalisis karya dan pemikiran tiga ulama besar Nusantara—Syekh Nawawi al-Bantani, Syekh Mahfudz at-Tarmasi, dan Syekh Ahmad Khatib al-Minangkabawi—serta mengaitkannya dengan kontribusi institusional ulama Brunei, khususnya Mufti Kerajaan Pehin Dato Seri Setia Dr. Haji Awang Abdul Aziz bin Juned, dalam mengembangkan sistem nilai Islam melalui falsafah Melayu Islam Beraja (MIB). Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan analisis isi terhadap karya klasik, publikasi ilmiah, serta dokumen kelembagaan, kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa tamadun Islam di Indonesia dan Brunei merupakan hasil kesinambungan sanad keilmuan yang berakar pada tradisi adab, ilmu, dan wasathiyyah. Warisan intelektual ulama Nusantara tidak hanya membentuk basis epistemologis Islam di Nusantara, tetapi juga menjadi jembatan transnasional. Warisan keilmuan para ulama tersebut menjadi fondasi utama bagi integrasi keilmuan dan spiritualitas dalam peradaban Islam Asia Tenggara. Temuan ini memperkuat pemahaman bahwa kesinambungan jaringan ulama Nusantara dan Brunei merupakan bentuk aktualisasi tamadun Islam yang berakar pada tradisi ilmiah, moralitas, dan pembaruan.

Integration of Human Values (Adab) and Science in the Perspective of Islamic Civilization Towards a Holistic Civilization
This study discusses the urgent need for the integration of literature and science as the foundation for building a holistic Islamic-based civilization, particularly in the context of the Islamic Civilization of the Archipelago, which balances material progress and spiritual values. The objectives of this research are to analyze the philosophical basis for the integration of adab and science, describe the implications for law, politics, economics, and socio-culture, and formulate a model of civilization that is relevant to the local context of the Archipelago. A qualitative method with literature review was conducted through the analysis of classical and contemporary literature, which was processed descriptively and analytically to identify the main concepts and their synthesis. The results show that this integration strengthens the application of Maqasidi justice, politics that prioritizes trust and deliberation, an economy based on justice and mutual cooperation, and a socio-culture that instills tolerance and moderation as characteristics of the archipelago. The novelty of this research lies in its interdisciplinary conceptual model that adaptively integrates universal Islamic values and local wisdom. The implications of the research provide recommendations for the development of cross-regional studies and practice models in order to strengthen the implementation of an inclusive and just civil society at the global level

Traces of Islamic Education and Archipelago Culture Research in Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam: A Bibliometric Analysis
This study aims to analyze the dynamics and research trends of Islamic education and Nusantara culture in Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam using a bibliometric approach. The focus of the analysis is to identify patterns of collaboration, thematic evolution, and research gaps within the international literature. Data were obtained from the Scopus database covering publications from 2013 to 2023 and analyzed using VOSviewer version 1.6.20. The analysis employed four main indicators: co-authorship, co-occurrence of keywords, overlay visualization, and density visualization. The results reveal five main clusters representing research foci, namely Islamic education, Malay civilization, cultural heritage, Islamic leadership, and digital learning. Temporal trends indicate a paradigm shift from normative studies such as religious values to contemporary issues including digital Islamic learning and heritage management. Furthermore, the density mapping highlights Islamic education as the central domain connecting various related themes. These findings demonstrate that Islamic education plays a strategic role in preserving Malay cultural identity and shaping Islamic civilization in Southeast Asia. The study recommends strengthening international academic collaboration and expanding research in digital Islamic education and comparative studies as future directions for knowledge development.

Integration of Islamic Values in the Framework of Civilization: A Holistic Analysis of Law, Politics, Economics, and Socio-Culture
Islamic civilization is a unique civilization with integrative and interconnective characteristics between various aspects of life. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the integration of Islamic values in the four main pillars of civilization, namely: law (fiqh/sharia), politics (siyasah), economics (muamalah), and socio-culture. The research method used is descriptive-analytical qualitative with a library research approach that examines primary and secondary sources, including contemporary works by Muslim thinkers. The results of the study show that: (1) Islamic law based on Maqashid Sharia serves as a dynamic ethical-legal foundation; (2) The Islamic political system (Siyasah Syar'iyyah) functions as a dynamic ethical-legal foundation; (3) The Islamic economic system (Muamalah Syar'iyyah) functions as a dynamic ethical-legal foundation; and (4) The results of the research show that: (1) Islamic law based on Maqashid Sharia serves as a dynamic ethical-legal foundation; (2) The Islamic political system (Siyasah Syar'iyyah) emphasizes the principles of justice, deliberation (shura), and trust as instruments of governance; (3) Islamic economics offers an alternative paradigm of justice through the prohibition of usury, the application of zakat, and an emphasis on the real economy; and (4) Islamic socio-cultural values promote social cohesion based on ukhuwah (brotherhood), tolerance, and amar ma'ruf nahi munkar (enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil). These four pillars are organically integrated into a solid civilizational structure. In conclusion, the integrative model of Islamic civilization is not only historically relevant, but also offers substantive solutions to various contemporary issues, such as inequality, ethical crises, and social disintegration. Collective ijtihad is needed to reactualize these values in the current context. Integration of Islamic Values, Islamic Civilization, Maqashid Syariah, Siyasah Syar'iyyah, Islamic Economics (Muamalah), Islamic Social Culture, Collective Ijtihad, Contemporary Solutions.

Internalization of Legal, Political, and Economic Values within the Framework of Islamic Civilization in Primary Education
This study analyzes the process of internalizing legal, political, and economic values within the framework of Islamic civilization (tamadun Islam) in primary education in Indonesia, Brunei Darussalam, and Malaysia. Using a literature review method, this study examines scientific literature and educational policies to assess the role of Islamic values in fostering moral awareness and character building among students. The findings show that the internalization of legal values (justice and responsibility), political values (trust, deliberation, and leadership), and economic values (honesty and prosperity) form the basis for shaping insan kamil, or individuals with moral and intellectual balance. This internalization process takes place through formal learning, school culture, and teacher role modeling. Cross-country comparisons show that Brunei and Malaysia implement systematic Sharia-based education policies, while Indonesia implements them contextually through the Merdeka Curriculum. This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening education based on Islamic civilization to encourage a balance between worldly achievements and spiritual development from the primary education level onwards.

Islamic Education and Archipelago Culture: A Comparative Study of Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam
This study aims to examine the role of Islamic education in preserving and developing Islamic culture in the archipelago, particularly in Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam. Both countries have strong Islamic historical roots, but have developed in different social and political contexts. Using a qualitative approach and literature review, this study finds that Islamic educational institutions such as Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia and formal religious institutions in Brunei play an important role in passing on Islamic cultural values. Islamic education in Indonesia is more inclusive and adaptive to local culture, while in Brunei it is more focused on the state's efforts to maintain the orthodoxy of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah Islam. Both, however, show continuity between scientific, spiritual, and cultural values that are characteristic of Malay-Archipelago Islamic civilization.

Integration of Islamic Values and Local Wisdom of the Orang Rimba in Archipelago Character Education
This research is motivated by the moral and identity crisis in national education, which tends to emphasize cognitive aspects and neglect spiritual and local cultural dimensions. In fact, the traditions of the archipelago contain noble values that are in harmony with Islamic teachings, as seen in the indigenous Orang Rimba community in Jambi, which has a natural education system based on life experiences. This study aims to analyze the Islamic values and local wisdom of the Orang Rimba, identify their compatibility within the framework of Tamadun Islam Nusantara, and develop a conceptual model of character education based on the integration of Islamic values and local wisdom. The approach used is descriptive qualitative with an interpretive paradigm through literature study, document analysis, indirect observation, and source triangulation. The results show that there is synchronization between Islamic values and local culture in five main dimensions—spiritual, social, ecological, moral, and intellectual—which reflect the principles of tauhid, ukhuwah, khilafah fil ardh, ta'dib, and iqra', respectively. The integration of these values forms a contextual character education model that strengthens the Islamic civilization of the Archipelago as an educational paradigm that is down-to-earth, inclusive, and civilized. The novelty of this research lies in the formulation of a character education model based on Islamic values and local wisdom that is relevant to the Merdeka Belajar (Freedom of Learning) policy. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of developing a curriculum based on local culture and further research on Islamic ethnopedagogy to strengthen national character education.
Islamic Education as a Locus of Cultural-Religious Acculturation Affirming the Islamic Civilization of the Archipelago
Islamic education in the archipelago has played a historical and strategic role as a center of acculturation between Islamic values and local culture, giving rise to the distinctive character of Tamadun Islam Nusantara. This study aims to critically analyze how Islamic educational institutions, particularly Islamic boarding schools, function as a space for dialectics between religion and culture in shaping a moderate, tolerant Islamic character that is strongly rooted in local traditions. Using a qualitative approach with a literature review method, this study examines secondary data in the form of books, scientific articles, educational documents, and classical and contemporary texts relevant to the theme of Islamic education and acculturation in the archipelago. The results show that Islamic boarding schools have transformed from centers of religious teaching to centers of cultural conservation and dynamic civilizational agents. The process of integrating Islamic values with local wisdom is reflected in the curriculum, architecture, social practices, and religious arts and rituals that are rich in the values of moderation (wasathiyah), tolerance (tasamuh), and ease (taysīr). The novelty of this research lies in its analytical approach, which affirms Islamic education as an active structure that not only preserves tradition but also reproduces civilization through contextual and inclusive pedagogy. Implicitly, this culture-based Islamic education model can be used as a reference in strengthening religious moderation and shaping national character amid the challenges of globalization and religious puritanism.

The Tradition of Islamic Scholarship and Thought in Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam
This article discusses the scientific traditions and Islamic thought in Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam in the context of history, culture, and their influence on the development of Islamic civilization in the archipelago. This study uses a qualitative approach through library research, utilizing various scientific literature, both classical and contemporary. The results of the study show that both Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam have strong Islamic roots based on the values of Ahlussunnah wal Jama'ah. In Indonesia, Islamic boarding schools have become centers of Islamic education that play an important role in maintaining the continuity of knowledge and morals in society. Meanwhile, in Brunei Darussalam, Islamic scholarship has developed under the protection of the royal system, which places Islam as the basis of the state ideology. The tradition of Islamic scholarship in both countries also reflects efforts to balance traditional values and modernity. Through this integration, both countries contribute to strengthening a moderate, inclusive Islamic identity that is oriented towards the advancement of civilization

Managerial Approach in Preserving Islamic Scientific Traditions in Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam
The preservation of Islamic scholarly traditions in the archipelago faces challenges from modernization and globalization of education. This study aims to analyze the managerial approaches applied by Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia and Islamic educational institutions in Brunei Darussalam. The study uses library research with a qualitative and comparative approach. Data was obtained through scientific literature reviews, educational policy documents, and classical Islamic works. The analysis was conducted using a thematic-comparative approach to identify similarities, differences, and integrative strategies between countries. The results show that Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia implement bottom-up management based on spiritual values and kiai leadership, while Brunei uses top-down management that emphasizes administrative standardization and the national curriculum. The integration of traditional values and modern management is an ideal strategy for maintaining the continuity of knowledge, manners, and the relevance of Islamic education. These findings contribute to the development of contextual, sustainable, and value-based Islamic education management.

Pancasila as the Crystallization of the Values of the Islamic Civilization of the Archipelago
This research aims to reveal how Pancasila is a crystallization of the noble values of the Nusantara Islamic Civilization (Tamadun Islam), which have been underappreciated incontemporary national discourse. Thru a qualitative approach with a historical- philosophical study design and critical discourse analysis, the research traces the traces of Nusantara Islamic values in historical documents—such as royal manuscripts, yellowbooks, BPUPKI archives—as well as socio-cultural practices in pesantren and local communities. Data was collected thru in-depth interviews with religious scholars, academics, and historians; participant observation; and documentary studies. Dataanalysis using the interactive Miles and Huberman model with source and theorytriangulation. The research findings indicate that the five principles of Pancasila havestrong roots in the values of Nusantara Islamic Civilization: Belief in the One God reflects the inclusive tawhid of the Wali Songo; universal humanity aligns with the principle of rahmatan lil 'alamin; Indonesian unity is inspired by national brotherhood; deliberationis rooted in the traditions of shura and custom; and social justice is based on Islamic economic principles such as zakat and the prohibition of usury. Furthermore, theresearch confirms that Pancasila is not merely a secular product or a political compromise, but rather an organic continuation of moderate, tolerant Islamic civilizationrooted in local wisdom. Thus, Pancasila functions as both normative legitimacy andabulwark against the decontextualization of Islam, while also strengthening religious moderation based on our own civilization. This finding recommends integratingNusantara Islamic values and Pancasila into education, public policy, and social life as astrategy for national ideological resilience.

The Role of the University of Islam Nusantara in the Development of Environmental Conservation and Local Culture in the Agro-Edu-Tourism Geotheater
This research examines the role of University of Islam Nusantara (Uninus) Bandung in developing environmental conservation and preserving local culture at the Geotheater Rancakalong Agroeduwisata in Sumedang Regency. The Geotheater, inaugurated in November 2020 and managed by BUMDesma Rusa Emas since December 2024, serves as an educational ecotourism center based on Sundanese culture, particularly thru the Ngalaksa ritual—an intangible cultural heritage representing the harmony between Nusantara Islam and Sundanese agrarian wisdom. Uninus, as an Islamic higher education institution based on the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah An-Nahdliyah values since its establishment in 1959, has partnered with Rancakalong thru the PTMGRMD, PKM, and KKN programs. However, its strategic role in ecological and cultural conservation has not been systematically and sustainably formulated. The research uses a qualitative approach with a participatory case study, collecting data thru in-depth interviews, observation, FGDs, and documentation in Sukamaju Village. The results show that the values of Nusantara Islam—such as rahmatan lil 'alamin, khalifah fil ardh, and gotong royong—are in line with the Ngalaksa philosophy and the principles of sustainable agro-ecotourism. Nevertheless, the collaboration between Uninus, BUMDesma, local government, and indigenous communities is still incidental. The research recommends a collaborative governance model that integrates the three pillars of higher education with local wisdom to strengthen Geotheater as a living lab for Nusantara Islamic civilization based on ecology, culture, and education.

The Heritage of Nusantara Islamic Civilization in West Java (A Study in Sumedang Regency and Cirebon Regency)
This mini research explores the heritage of Tamadun Islam Nusantara (Nusantara Islamic Civilization) in West Java, focusing on Sumedang and Cirebon as representative cases of agrarian and coastal Islamic civilizations. Using a qualitative descriptive approach combined with systematic literature review and limited field observation, the study reveals that both regions exemplify a harmonious acculturation between universal Islamic teachings and local Sundanese-Javanese wisdom. In Sumedang, the legacy of the Sumedang Larang Kingdom is embodied in the Ngalaksa ritual, leuit (traditional rice barns), and community governance rooted in musyawarah (deliberation), all infused with Islamic monotheism. In Cirebon, the Sultanate’s heritage manifests in the syncretic architecture of the Great Mosque of Sang Cipta Rasa, multicultural religious festivals like Grebeg Maulud, and a governance system integrating adat and Islamic ethics. The research identifies core values of Islam Nusantara—wasathiyyah (moderation), tasamuh (tolerance), rahmatan lil ‘alamin, and hubbul wathan (love for the homeland)—as foundational to both traditions. Despite contextual differences—agrarian sustainability in Sumedang versus intercultural diplomacy in Cirebon—both models affirm that authentic Islam in Indonesia flourished through cultural dialogue, not imposition. This study underscores the relevance of Tamadun Islam Nusantara as a living, dynamic civilization and a strategic ideological resource against religious extremism and cultural erosion.

Majelis Taklim as Agents of Community Education and Local Religious Tradition Preservation in Urban Indonesia
Urbanization in Indonesia has reshaped the social landscape and religious practices, creating a growing need for communal spaces that nurture solidarity, emotional closeness, and religious identity. This paper aims to analyze the strategic role of Majelis Taklim (MT) in urban areas as a spiritual platform, a socio-cultural hub, and an arena for expanding women’s participation in religious life. Using a narrative–integrative literature review, the study synthesizes scholarly works and policy documents through the lenses of sociology of religion, Islamic anthropology, and gender studies. The findings reveal that: (1) MT revives the collective conscience and builds communtas through collective worship and religious rituals; (2) MT embodies public religion by addressing social issues such as digital parenting, Islamic financial literacy, family health, microenterprise empowerment, and partnerships with government or community organizations; (3) MT sustains the continuity of Islam Nusantara through rituals like yasinan, tahlilan, and manaqiban, shaping a religious habitus that strengthens social, cultural, and symbolic capital; and (4) women’s participation emerges as a form of pious agency, reflected in leadership, philanthropy, and community mediation. The study concludes that MT represents an adaptive and inclusive urban religious ecosystem bridging tradition and modernity, private and public spheres, as well as personal piety and social responsibility. Recommendations include developing modular curricula, empowering female leadership, fostering cross-sector collaboration, and conducting multi-city field studies
