The dominant use of English in every field covering politic, economic, and sosial culture these days has manifested in its gaining a special position in many countries where it is not spoken. In Indonesia, it is a foreign language officially constituted as part of national education curriculum and becomes a requirement in a number of higher education and workforce entry. Yet, ELT in Indonesia faces various constraints including, but is not limited, the anxiousness to threat the purity of Bahasa Indonesia, the national language, and the worry about liberal western values embedded in English to corrupt the youngsters moral and attitudes. Interestingly, Islamic education that maintains a vital role among Indonesians has included English alongside other secular sciences and technology as part of its curriculum in its current advancement. In this regard, the paper will show how critical Islamic education role among Indonesians is, how ELT in Indonesia has developed, what challenges it experiences, and what opportunities it posseses in the context of Indonesian Islamic Education. The paper argues that Islamic education remains the choice of the Indonesian Muslim communities as long as it is able to meet the demands of living in the globalization era while keeping the Islamic values in all the learning process. It further suggests that ELT in Indonesia needs to incorporate Islamic values and show that English learning put no threats and negative influences to Indonesian culture in general and Islamic religious values in particular.

The emergence of several phenomena in this country such as the issue of terrorism, Islamophobia, excessive demonstrations, discrimination against one group and blasphemers of religion, made the government realize that Indonesia is a large country that has hundreds of tribes and languages. Ways are needed to maintain that sovereignty, one of which is by providing an understanding in education about the application of moderation in everyday life. Some Islamic values that need to be understood and implemented in the moderation process of Islamic education are: Tawasuth, Tawazun, I'tidal, Tasamuh, Musawah, Shura, Islah, Awlawiyah, Tathawur, Tahaddhur.

In Islām, there are four fundamental factors of social development and change – personality, tradition, accident, and people. The Qur'an says: "Verily never will God change the condition of a people until they change it themselves [with their souls]. (Q-13:11). Therefore, the researcher's aim is assessing the integration of Islāmic values in the teaching of martial arts in the youth for them be good followers of Islām thru inculcation in their minds and their behavior the real sense of a true Muslim. Essentially, this study is descriptive, which aimed mainly to serve as an exposition on the Religion, Traditional Culture, and History of the Muslims in the Philippines and their implication relevance to martial arts. The various data collected through in-depth study, interview and observation showed that Islām prepares people to be a fruitful citizen in the society. It also aimed for the total development of man not only in the religious aspect. Thus, Martial arts play a vital role in Islām not just as a means of self-defense, but as a system of ethics. Man and fighting are by nature intimately related; in fact, history shows that they are inseparable. Locally, the Bangsamoro has a very rich historical foundation in martial arts that is directly derivable from the roots of Islāmic propagation. And as man became civilized, hand-to-hand fighting also became specialized and humanized and, gradually. Thus, the term martial art is recognized today as a specialized field of knowledge which should be inculcated together with education for the total development of the new generations leading to a society imbued with rich morality.

Arabic has been chosen as a medium of the revealed language for every language speakers in the world. Arabic is a language which rich in vocabulary and also as an intact language which has the system and style of language to overcome other languages. This language is the language of science, civilization, and intellectuality from the past until now and later. No wonder, Allah SWT has placed it on the highest maqqom (position) as the Qur'anic language. The Qur'an is something that must be understood and appreciated, or even made as second language by the unique Indonesian society (it is the largest moslem population but its national language is latin) especially by educated generations of Islamic educational institutions. The classic problem faced by moslems in Idonesia is the lack of understanding and appreciating of Islamic values ​​due to the weakening of arabic. It is interesting to be learned and deepened as the reflection and improvement of religious behavior of society and specialized for Islamic Educational Institutions that create moslem generation. This article will discuss the role of Islamic Education Institutions in Indonesia in Arabic learning process and also approaches used Arabic language acquisition until placed it become second language.

Abstract: This article attempts to observe Sukarno’s article about the separation  between  religion and state” published in Panji Islam in 1940. Sukarno’s thought is still relevant to discuss  up to now in Indonesian because some conservative and radical groups of Muslim have given the louder voices to the government demanding the system of caliphate state and rejecting free democracy by intimidation which ironically seemed to be given to these groups to rise. More than fifty years ago, Sukarno clearly argued that caliphate system of leadership in Muslim society was no longer relevant and even outdated. Sukarno took the case of Turkey, through which he hailed Mustafa Kemal Ataturk’s efforts in abolishing the outdated Ottoman caliphate in order to build the modern democracy of Turkey, which was able to address more real challenges facing Muslim society. Sukarno explained clearly that the separation of religion and state in Muslim society was needed to make the survival of both religion and state. He also presented history of Turkey in his argument that caliphate system of governing was not pure Islamic one, as it was an evolution of older system of government from the ancient Greco-Byzantium, in which religion played a vital role to legitimate the power of some emperors. Let alone, the history of Turkey had witnessed the weakening caliphate system of  Ottoman in which religion and politics mingled so that Turkey was not able to control the vast Islamic territory, which ultimately its population rebelled the empire. Sukarno's reading and rhetoric in narrating Turkey was unique as he contextualized the Turkish history into Indonesian situation in the pre-independent period. Sukarno’s interpretation of Islam, history, and politics could serve as a foundation for those who sought the nature of religion and state relation and reminded those who recalled caliphate system during the reform era. Indeed, caliphate system has no place today in Indonesia as relentlessly told by Sukarno more than fifty years ago.الملخص: حاول هذا المقال إعادة القراءة لمقال كتبه سوكارنو في صحيفة " لواء الإسلام" سنة 1940م  تحت العنوان " لما فصلت تركيا بين الدين والدولة ". ولا يزال هذا المقال يواكب السياق الإندونيسي بما فيها من ظاهرة الأصولية والمحافظة على التراث، ومن مطالباتها إقامة الخلافة والرد على الديموقراطية الحرّة. ردّ سوكارنو منذ بضع وخمسين سنة نظام الخلافة القديمة. رأى سوكارنو هذا في قضية مصطفى كمال أتترك الذي قضى على الخلافة وأقام الديموقراطية في تركيا، وقال " إن فصل الدين عن الدولة " أمر لازم لتقدّم كلّ منهما. و بالاضافة ذكر تاريخ الخلافة أنها كنظام تمزيجي –كنظام الدولة- بقيم من اليونان والروم حيث أن الدين أداة لشرعية القوة السياسية لهؤلاء الامبراطور . يظهر من هذا، أن حجة سوكارنو عن الإسلام والتاريخ والسياسة يمكن أن تكون أسسا لمن أراد معرفة الارتباط بين الدين والدولة. Abstrak: Artikel ini membaca kembali tulisan Sukarno yang berjudul “Apa Sebab Turki Memisah Agama Dan Negara” terbit di Panji Islam, 1940, yang tetap relevan dalam konteks Indonesia yang saat ini menyaksikan penguatan radikalisasi dan konservatisme, diantara tuntutannya adalah penegakan khalifah dan penolakan demokrasi bebas. Lebih dari lima puluh tahun yang lalu Sukarno menolak sistem khalifah yang kuno. Sukarno melihat ini dalam kasus Turki dengan Mustafa Kemal Ataturk yang membubarkan khalifah dan menegakkan demokrasi di sana. Bagi Sukarno pemisahan agama dan negara merupakan keniscayaan untuk kemajuan keduanya. Sukarno juga menghadirkan sejarah khalifah bahwa itu hasil dari perpaduan dengan Yunani-Romawi dimana agama bermanfaat untuk legitimasi kekuasaan para kaisar. Di sini ditunjukkan bahwa argument Sukarno tentang Islam, sejarah dan politik bisa menjadi fondasi bagi yang ingin mengetahui relasi agama dan negara.

Efforts to transform humanity with knowledge of attitudes and behaviors that conform to Islamic values or ideology can only be done with education. Thus, Islamic education is a process to bring humanity closer to the level of its perfection and to develop the level of its ability which is guided by Islamic ideology and aqidah. As the goal of Islamic education is to create human beings who are Islamic and soulful in accordance with the spirit and breath of Islam. Methodology that is not oriented towards the achievement of these goals will certainly be avoided, so that Islamic education is not merely transfer of knowledge, but pay attention to whether the given science can change attitudes and behavior or not.
