Two efforts have taken place in the Muslim world in recent decades - 1977 to 1996 - to reform education. The first initiative was launched by the OIC. A parallel attempt was launched by the IIIT. The latter was in certain aspects a response to the former. While the two efforts shared a common aim – the reform of Muslim education - they adopted different approaches to realise this objective. The differences between the two approaches are due to different perceptions about the reasons for the decline of Muslim education, and how it may be overcome. The OIC initiative traced the problems in Islamic education to a dualism which separated religious studies from contemporary subjects. This approach was content with integrating “contemporary” subjects in established Islamic studies. The Islamisation movement, by contrast, insisted that contemporary subjects needed to be “Islamised”  before being introduced into the curricula of Islamic institutions of learning. In retrospect, the integration approach has proven enduring and resilient compared to the Islamisation approach. Currently, it is being implemented successfully in the Gulf region and in nations such as Malaysia.

Abstract: Islamic boarding school is one of the dominant Islamic education institutions and emphasizes religious studies that influence and impact the culture, tradition and preservation of Islamic teachings. Islamic boarding schools also play a role in the formatio n of a nation's civilization. Pesantren at this time must be prepared to face the challenges of globalization and produce graduates who can compete and fill the global era. For this reason, pesantren must be able to become institutions that are global in m ind and have capable resources, especially in Islamic education. Therefore, it is necessary to change the mindset of pesantren into a mindset that follows change, which is oriented towards the creation of graduates who have three abilities, namely: (1) the ability to survive (survive) amidst continuous changes and competition, ( 2) the ability to improve the quality of life (spiritual and physical), (3) the ability to develop and adapt to the changing demands of the times

Most people believe that religion and ideology contribute to the spread of terrorism. Thus, it can be seen from the method of text interpretation and the implementation of over-textual and rigid interpretations in religious studies that are very instant and indoctrinal; which resulted in the spread of 'radicalism'. This aspect forgets the essence of Islamic education which emphasizes tolerance, courtesy, and love for peace. Conversely, Islamic studies that are too contextual, will eliminate the epistemological footing; that is, their identity and essence, because they merely follow all the social changes that continue to occur without regard to the wisdom and wisdom of local wisdom. Thus, the search for knowledge is no longer sacred and then encourages the loss of etiquette (loss of adab). Therefore, conceptual efforts in Islamic education need to be carried out appropriately. This qualitative model study seeks to collect fragments and data from various studies based on Islamic turots on the fardhu ‘ain and fardhu kifayah models and their relevance in various contexts of Islamic studies such as integrative aspects between religious science and social science and contemporary technology. Through content analysis, thematic analysis as well as critical discourse analysis. This study concludes that the scientific equilibrium based on fardhu ‘ain and fardhu kifayah has proven to make Islamic insights and discourse broad and flexible, so as to give birth to attitudes that both physically and spiritually represent the essence of Islamic teachings themselves.
