Transformative Islamic Education Management in Responding to Environmental and Humanitarian Challenges in the Digital Age

Abstract

Transformative Islamic education has an important role in responding to environmental and humanitarian challenges in the digital era. In this dynamic and rapidly changing era, a transformative approach in the management of Islamic education is very necessary to ensure that students are able to face the changes that occur wisely and sustainably. Transformative Islamic education teaches Islamic values that prioritize support for the environment and humanity. Through this approach, it is hoped that students can become agents of change who are responsible for protecting the environment and solving various humanitarian problems that exist in the world today. One of the environmental problems that is the main focus in transformative Islamic education is plastic waste. Plastic waste is a serious environmental problem with significant negative impacts on human life and other living things on earth. This research is library research, analyzed qualitatively using inductive thinking methods. The findings of this research are that, with a transformative approach, students are taught to care about the surrounding environment and understand the importance of preserving nature. Apart from that, transformative Islamic education also teaches the importance of empathy and concern for fellow humans. In this fast-paced and individualistic digital era, the values of caring for others are often neglected. Through a transformative approach, students are taught to be sensitive to the suffering of fellow humans and try to help others.
