Integration Of Islamic Religious Education And Social Intelligence In Building Students’ Religious Character In The Modern Era
Main Article Content
Abstract
The rapid transformation of society in the digital and global era has brought significant challenges to the spiritual, moral, and social dimensions of education. This study explores the integration of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) and social intelligence as a strategic model for strengthening students’ religious character in the modern era. The objective is to analyze how Islamic values can be harmonized with socio emotional competencies to create a holistic educational approach that is responsive to technological, cultural, and ethical disruptions. Using a qualitative descriptive method supported by literature review and field data, this research examines patterns of value internalization, interaction dynamics, and behavioral adaptation among students in secondary education settings. The findings reveal that effective integration of IRE and social intelligence enhances empathy, moral reasoning, and digital ethics while reinforcing students’ identity as morally grounded digital citizens. The study contributes theoretically by proposing a conceptual framework linking Islamic pedagogy with social intelligence theory, and practically by offering a transformative model that can be implemented in formal and non formal educational institutions. This integration not only revitalizes the relevance of Islamic education in contemporary contexts but also promotes the development of balanced individuals capable of navigating moral challenges in a rapidly changing world.
