Transformasi Nilai Kepemimpinan Khulafaur Rasyidin dalam Sistem Pendidikan Era Kontemporer

Abstract

This study aims to examine the transformation of the leadership values of the Khulafā’ al-Rāshidīn in the development of Islamic education and their relevance to strengthening Islamic educational systems in the contemporary era. The focus of the study is directed toward the pedagogical principles implemented by Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq, ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb, ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān, and ʿAlī ibn AbīṬālib, as well as how their values of exemplary leadership, justice, moral integrity, and the cultivation of knowledge can be adapted within modern educational contexts. This research employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive-historical method through the analysis of classical sources, historical books, scholarly journal articles, and relevant academic documents. The findings indicate that Islamic education during the period of the Khulafā’ al-Rāshidīn established a crucial foundation through the standardization of the Qur’anic manuscript, the development of early educational institutions, structured teaching systems, and the integration of intellectual development, moral formation, and spiritual reinforcement. In the contemporary context, these values demonstrate strong relevance in addressing modern educational challenges, such as moral crises, weak character internalization, and imbalances between academic achievement and ethical development. This study concludes that transforming the leadership values of the Khulafā’ al-Rashidīn into modern educational systems can strengthen the harmony between knowledge and morality and foster the development of a generation that is ethical, knowledgeable, and adaptive to the dynamics of the times.

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji transformasi nilai-nilai kepemimpinan Khulafaur Rasyidin dalam pengembangan pendidikan Islam serta relevansinya bagi penguatan sistem pendidikan Islam pada era kontemporer. Fokus kajian diarahkan pada prinsip-prinsip pedagogis yang diterapkan oleh Abu Bakar as-Siddiq, Umar bin Khattab, Utsman bin Affan, dan Ali bin Abi Thalib, serta bagaimana nilai keteladanan, keadilan, integritas moral, dan pengembangan keilmuan mereka dapat diadaptasikan dalam konteks pendidikan modern. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif-historis melalui analisis sumber-sumber klasik, buku sejarah, artikel jurnal ilmiah, dan dokumen akademik yang relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pendidikan Islam pada masa Khulafaur Rasyidin meletakkan fondasi penting melalui standarisasi mushaf Al-Qur’an, pengembangan lembaga pendidikan awal, sistem pengajaran yang terstruktur, serta integrasi antara pengembangan intelektual, pembinaan akhlak, dan penguatan spiritual. Dalam konteks kontemporer, nilai-nilai tersebut memiliki relevansi kuat untuk menjawab tantangan pendidikan modern, seperti krisis moral, lemahnya internalisasi karakter, dan ketidakseimbangan antara capaian akademik dan etika. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa transformasi nilai kepemimpinan Khulafaur Rasyidin ke dalam sistem pendidikan modern dapat memperkuat harmonisasi antara ilmu dan akhlak serta mendorong terbentuknya generasi yang berintegritas, berilmu, dan adaptif terhadap dinamika zaman
