Furthermore, in realizing the goals of Muhammadiyah, educational institutions, hospitals, orphanages and so on were established, all of which are expected to advance Islam from various aspects (Zarro.

INTRODUCTION The organizers of educational institutions in Indonesia are continuously making improvements from time to time. addition, transformative education and character education are also no less important in preparing this nation to become a nation with strong character. Societal organizations such as Muhamamdiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama participated in the process of improvement and development. These two organizations carry a central theme that allows them to increase their role in advancing the nation, one of which is through the implementation of education, namely Islam Berkemajuan carried by Muhammadiyah, and Islam Nusantara, which is carried out by Nahdatul Ulama. There have been many published writings about Islam Berkemajuan and Islam Nusantara, such as Muhamamdiyah and Spirit of Islam Berkemajuan in Sinaran Ethos alQuran (Baidhawy, 2. Islam Berkemajuan on Muhammadiyah Perspective (Yusuf, 2. Indonesian Islam. Islam Nusantara and Islam Berkemajuan (Lubis, 2.

This shows that the Muhammadiyah movement is progressive. Practicing al-maun is not done by memorization, but there is real action in the form of guidance for orphans and the poor. This later gave birth to Muhammadiyah hospitals and orphanages. Al-Maun's theology is embodied by Kyai Haji Ahmad Dahlan into three main activities, namely: education, health, and guidance of the poor as well as transforming religious understanding from just socially sacred doctrines to cooperation or cooperatives for the liberation of human beings (Zamrodah, 2. Similarly, when he taught al-Ashr, according to KRH. Hajid. Kyai Haji Ahmad Dahlan, taught al-ashr for seven months. This letter is taught to Muhammadiyah pilgrims every 07. 00 am and to Aisyiah pilgrims at 08. 00 am, then continued to the young women after dzuhur. They are told to write and memorize it. Kyai Dahlan intends to teach al-Ashr repeatedly so that his students have a disciplined and punctual ethos and always fill their spare time with useful deeds, as well as being a guide to live in harmony (Septian, 2. The question is, why Surah al-Ashr? In Surah al-Ashr, the key concept is the spirit of civilization building (Yusuf, 2. Islamic education from an Islamic perspective, when viewed ideologically, is a form of transformation of al Ma'un to present proselytizing and tajdid in actual terms in the struggle of living virtue, nationality, and universal humanity (Ismunandar, 2021.

Fifth, being tolerant, moderate, and cooperative (Maulidiyah et al. , 2. Islam Nusantara At first, the term Islam Nusantara was highly debated, especially by the Indonesian Muslim community who understood it in the text area. Over time, with various studies seminars, and references, there are many able to answer the existing debates. Nahdlatul Ulama or commonly abbreviated as NU was founded on January 31, 1926, and is engaged in the socioreligious sector led by Kyai Haji Hasyim Asy'ari and Kyai Haji Abdul Wahab Hasbullah as the driving force behind the formation of NU.

Another definition mentions that Islam Nusantara is a model of thought, understanding, and practice of Islamic teachings packaged through the culture and traditions that developed in the Southeast Asian region (Bizawie, 2. According to Said Aqil Siradj. Islam Nusantara is only owned by Indonesia, namely a heterogeneous Islamic pattern. One region with another has its characteristics but has the same spirit sama (Arifianto, 2.

Nor is Islam a new face that presents an anti-Arab stance. However, it only brings out local wisdom that does not conflict with Islamic values. For example, if in Arabia Muslims wear thobe and turbans, then Islam Nusantara wears sarongs and caps. Cak Nun said, "Indonesia is one of the most pluralist nations in the world (Nur Laila Rahmawati, 2. Indonesia is a nation with a very diverse ethnic composition, including race, religion, religious traditions, language, customs, regional cultural orientation, and outlook on life (Bakar, 2. This plurality has the potential to give rise to various local wisdom in understanding religious teachings according to the culture of the local community as long as it does not conflict with the real teachings of Islam. The birth of Nahdlatul Ulama is very compromising with Pancasila as a conceptual guideline for Indonesian statehood and nationality that adheres to a democratic (Jurdi. Likewise. Muhammadiyah, with the spirit of renewal, wants to change the paradigm of Indonesian society, which tends to be static . and also taqlid towards a productive and constructive idea for the needs of the nation and state (Edyanto. Karsiman, 2.

Islam exists not to erase good traditions that already exist. Instead, the presence of Islam complements and perfects the traditions of the archipelago.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION Transformative and Character Education in Indonesian Schools of Jeddah through the Value of Islam Berkemajuan and Islam Nusantara Indonesian Schools of Jeddah was established on January 1, 1964, and its establishment began with a Kindergarten managed by Dharma Wanita under the name Trikora Kindergarten. The name Trikora was taken because the first meeting of the establishment of the school coincided with December 19, 1963, during the statement of the Tri Komando Rakyat to retake West Irian.

These characters are interrelated with each Each character develops dynamically, forming the main person. The development of transformative education and character education in Indonesian Schools of Jeddah is internalization in the learning process, cultivation/habituation activities. This is in accordance with the guidelines for the implementation of character education by the Ministry of Education and Culture. It is in line with its implementation in Bhutanese schools, with an emphasis on sustainable development and environmental protection. However, for a sustainable future, active student-centered teaching and learning methods should be used in more diverse ways (Jeronen et al. , 2. As an educational institution located in Jeddah.

The fundamental thing that distinguishes them is the local payload field. This is as mandated by the 2013 curriculum itself, which is by existing local conditions. However, the content of the lessons in the curriculum structure is not very different from that of some schools in Indonesia. The subjects of Arabic. English, and Tahfidz Quran in the Indonesian School of Jeddah are the same as the subjects in the Integrated Islamic School. The difference is that the Jeddah Indonesian School for Arabic uses the Saudi Arabian curriculum. This is because bringing in books from Indonesia requires a long procedure and high costs.

"Working together" is a characteristic that cannot be found in everyday life in the Jeddah area of Saudi Arabia. The character development of cooperation in Indonesian Schools of Jeddah is built through picket activities in the classroom, tasks designed to be completed in groups, and social activities with fundraising to help fellow students and others affected by disasters.

NU carries the Isam Nusantara discourse with the argument that it is a must for the acculturation of Indonesian society, which is plural with various cultures, and traditions so that religious values are maintained amid globalization. Both Islam Berkemajuan and Islam Nusantara want contextual Islamic dogma. Both consider changes in the situation and conditions of society by making the principle of benefit a benchmark so that the ideas produced by both will be more universal, flexible, and dynamic in responding to the realities of the times. addition, both carry a moderate, inclusive, and modern culture.
