INTRODUCTION
In todayAos globalized era.
Muslims face a variety of challenges that extend beyond political or military domination.
While many Muslim-majority countries gained independence in the mid-twentieth century, their intellectual and cultural spheres remain influenced mainly by Western paradigms (Tisnawati et al.
, 2024.
Wangi & Wajdi, 2.
Education, particularly Islamic education, has become a field where this hegemony is most evident (Khasanah et al.
, 2024.
Zaini & Fahmi.
The prevailing worldview within the education management systems of many Islamic institutions has often been shaped by secular, neoliberal principles that emphasize individual freedom, economic productivity, and competition, rather than spiritual growth and divine orientation (Pawelay et al.
, 2024.
Sit et al.
This issue raises significant concerns, as the primary goal of Islamic education is not merely to prepare individuals for worldly success but to cultivate believers who are faithful, knowledgeable, and morally upright, seeking the pleasure of Allah SWT.
The management of aqidah education lies at the heart of this tension.
Ideally, it should strengthen the foundations of faith.
However, in many educational systems, aqidah education has often been sidelined, marginalized by the secularization of knowledge in modern times (Pohan & Wisda, 2024.
SyafiAoi et al.
, 2.
This calls for a re-evaluation of the management of aqidah education, ensuring that it remains central to the mission of Islamic educational institutions.
Islamic educational institutions today must confront the reality that many youths, especially in urbanized and globalized contexts, exhibit fragmented worldviews in which the Islamic faith is often compartmentalized or secondary to secular concerns (Purbiyanto & Pamungkas, 2024.
Qodri et al.
, 2022.
Suandi, 2.
Modern universities, once envisioned as centers for holistic education, now increasingly emphasize performance indicators aligned with neoliberal agendas, such as employability, market competitiveness, and economic output.
As a result.
Muslims may excel in technical and professional fields but remain deficient in the foundational aspects of aqidah, adab, and spirituality (Arifudin, 2022.
Suprapti et , 2.
Similarly.
Syafaruddin et al.
and Al Maqi .
underline that the secularization of knowledge corrodes the spiritual foundation of Muslim This disconnection manifests in identity crises, intellectual dependence on Western frameworks, and internal religious conflicts stemming from a lack of a deep understanding of Islamic theology.

php/al-tanzim/index Within this modern context.
Islamic education faces significant tensions when confronted with secular educational models.
One key challenge is the marginalization of core theological foundations in the curriculum of many Islamic The Islamization of knowledge remains a central theme in Islamic educational management, especially as institutions strive to balance modernity with tradition (Al Rasyid & Kamaluddin, 2024.
Hossein Golzar, 2.
The influence of neoliberalism on Muslim higher education has been shown to compromise the spiritual dimensions of learning (Fareeda & Ahmed, 2.
Additionally, the challenge lies in reconciling longstanding Islamic traditions with the demands of modernity in Southeast Asia, as educational reforms risk compromising theological integrity.
In the modern context, the principles of Islamic education often encounter tensions when confronted with secular models.
Mirza .
examined curriculum design in Islamic schools and identified a tendency toward the marginalization of core theological foundations.
Furthermore, the Islamization of knowledge and its implications for educational management remain a central theme (Mala & Hunaida, 2.
, as Mohiuddin .
highlighted the impact of neoliberalism on Muslim higher education, demonstrating how market-oriented values may undermine spiritual dimensions of learning.
The role of classical scholars in shaping faith-based education also continues to hold relevance, with Ahmad et al.
evaluating governance in Islamic institution and outlining the challenges of preserving theological integrity.
In addition, the reform of Islamic education in Southeast Asia presents both opportunities and risks, particularly in striking a balance between long-standing traditions and the demands of modernity.
Most studies on Islamic educational management tend to focus on broader reform efforts or the Islamization of knowledge, often overlooking the practical ways in which traditional teachings are integrated into contemporary educational The novelty of this study lies in its examination of the management of aqidah education in the context of Pesantren Nurul Jadid, a prominent Islamic boarding school in Indonesia.
This research aims to explore the role of aqidah education in optimizing the character formation of santri .
amidst the pressures of modernity, particularly through a focus on curriculum integration, the role of educators, and the influence of the pesantren environment.
This study examines the role of aqidah education management in shaping the character of santri in Pesantren Nurul Jadid, with a focus on three key areas.
First, it analyzes the model of curriculum integration used by the pesantren, specifically how aqidah education is integrated with character-building subjects.
Second, it explores the role of the pesantrenAos educators .
and the unique environment of the pesantren in shaping the character of santri.
Third, it investigates the use of technology as a learning tool, examining how advancements in technology can be leveraged to enhance the delivery of aqidah education in the modern era.
The originality of this research lies in its approach to analyzing how traditional Islamic educational practices are adapted to meet the needs of contemporary society.
This study seeks to bridge the gap between classical Islamic educational values and the challenges posed by modern, secular influences.

php/al-tanzim/index The Role of Caregivers and the Islamic Boarding School Environment The second key finding is the crucial role of caregivers and the overall environment in shaping the character and academic performance of students at Pesantren Nurul Jadid.
Caregivers, including teachers, administrative staff, and even senior students, play an integral role in ensuring that the values taught are upheld in daily life.
Additionally, the environment of the pesantren, which includes the mosque, dormitories, classrooms, and outdoor spaces, has a significant influence on the behavior and mindset of the students.
