This article related to a character education model aims to link the orientation of intra-curricular activities and extra-curricular activities, which are typically conducted separately. In this context, the built model is not to reproduce what has been taught in intra-curricular activities, which leads to inefficiencies. It is also not as a substitution where extra-curricular activities replaced intra-curricular activities based on the assumption of distrust in the process of character formation in intra-curricular activities. The model in the form of extra-curricular activities has a role in strengthening character education efforts performed in intra-curricular activities. This rises within the Islamic studies subject and Tahfidz Quran extra-curricular activity. By building the spirit of character education, the model creates the Quran as the primary foundation to the life philosophy of Minangkabau people in West Sumatra, “Adat Basandi Syara, Syara Basandi Kitabullah.” This model is derived from the research conducted in two senior high schools: SMAN 1 Padang Panjang and SMAN 1 Padang. The research uses qualitative methodology, and data are collected through observation, interview, and documentation. The results of the study are thematically analyzed in three main categories: the reinforcement patterns of the curriculum of Islamic Studies through Tahfidz Quran activities; students’ efforts in memorizing the Quran; and the impacts of Tahfidz program initiation on students’ character.

The effect of covid-19 to islamic education in singapore (the experience of muhammadiyah islamic college)

Malaysia is in the midst of embracing the Industrial Revolution 4.0 and is working
hard to strengthen the educational sector so that the future human capital
possesses high ethical values and morality. Term like internet of things become
the buzzword of the day but still, Islamic education providers particularly private
Islamic schools in Malaysia are still struggling to survive and coupled with high
turnover rates among the teachers, they have difficulty in producing high quality
Islamic education. They are in dire needs of teachers who are willing to stay and
sacrifice for students. Despite the high turnover rate, there are teachers who are
still willing to stay and hence, the study was conducted to investigate the reasons
for the teachers to stay. Job embeddedness theory was used in this study because
it was able to uncover the reasons why employees stay in organizations and thus,
the study examined the relationship between job embeddedness and employee
retention among teachers in private Islamic schools in Malaysia. Three hundred
and ninety school teachers in private Islamic schools participated in the study and
the data was collected using survey forms. The findings revealed that fit to
organization, fit to Islamic school practices, fit to community, links to school and
organization-related sacrifices were significantly related to employee retention.
The findings contribute significantly to the school administrators. Islamic education
aims to nurture the young people as the future leaders. High turnover rates could
negatively affect the goal of Islamic education and thus, the administrators and
the policy makers have to give attention to the pressing issue especially in the era
of technological sophistication.

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengenalpasti bagaimana pengurusan sekolah agama rakyat atau disebut madrasah dilaksanakan di Singapura bagi memastikan kelangsungan pendidikan Islam kepada masyarakat Islam. Pengumpulan data menggunakan temubual terbuka kepada pentadbiran bahagian Madrasah dan bahagian masjid di Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS) untuk mendapatkan maklumat tentang pengurusan madrasah di samping memperolehi maklumat dari pelbagai sumber yang lain. Di Singapura, semua madrasah yang ditubuhkan perlu di bawah pengawasan dan kawalan Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS). Terdapat tiga jenis sekolah agama di Singapura iaitu madrasah sepenuh masa, madrasah separuh masa dan pengajian umum. Kurikulum yang digunakan oleh madrasah sepenuh masa ialah kurikulum azhari dan kurikulum kebangsaan. Madrasah separuh masa yang dijalankan di masjid menggunakan kurikulum aLIVE iaitu sebahagian dari pelaksanaan program Singapore Islamic Education of Singapore (SIES). Madrasah swasta pula menjalankan aktiviti pendidikan Islam secara tusyen dan separuh masa denan membina kurikulum sendiri terutama untuk pengajian al-Quran dan Fardu Ain.
