Regarding the Islamic educational institutions over time and the dynamics evolving in the 

Indonesian education system today, the existence of Islamic educational institutions now get the 

same recognition as part of the sub national education system. The recognition was marked by 

the birth of SKB (Joint Decree) between the Minister of Religious Affairs, Ministry of Interior, 

and Minister of Education and Culture in 1975.1 This recognition shows the seriousness of the 

government in taking steps to equalize and improve the quality of Islamic education institutions 

from various perspectives: either status , the quality of graduates, the quality of the process as 

well as the existence of Islamic education institutions in the National Education system.2  

In terms of institutional been very clear that the institution of Islamic Education has 

received attention from the government, but in the case of planting of Islamic values and norms 

of life in students both existing students at institutions of Islamic Education or public 

institutions is necessary even become a liability for special attention as the foundation for the 

hearts and minds of students who still shallow on the information very quickly consumed either 

directly or indirectly one of them through information technology is very familiar in everyday 

student.    

Impact of information technology not only proliferated on students, but also to the 

general public. This is evidenced by the data of internet users in Indonesia in 2016 was 132.7 

million users, or approximately 51.5% of the total population of Indonesia amounted to 256.2 

million. When compared with Internet users in Indonesia in 2014 amounted to 88.1 million 

users, then there is an increase of 44.6 million over two years (2014-2016).3 The data is evidenced 

by the various positive and negative changes in behavior, from violence to the personal changes 

that are beyond reason deemed not matter if you do like fever4selfie. Selfie today has become a 

culture in all walks of life both children, teenagers, to adults and in all circumstances, including in 

a state of worship such as would pray, when umrah, at the time of the Koran, even when 

providing assistance. This shows that as if the act is considered good for us requires to be 

published. Yet according to Islam Allah says in the Quran surah Al-Mujadalah verse 11 which

means "God exalts the degree (level) believers people between you and the people of knowledge 

(by science). And God is aware of what you do ".5The above verse is the basis of humanity to 

make the process of internalization and transformation of two capital essential to the life of faith 

and science. Both of the above capital are two things that need to be synergized to avoid 

fluctuations in its social impact. The meaning of faith and science that should be paired together 

in its implementation, but now seems to have started to fade with various environmental media 

influence social attacks on the scope of the rapid technological development.  

Role of Islamic Education historically has had experience of how to survive in the crush 

of the strong currents of modernization without having to remove the identity. A concrete 

manifestation of this experience was the attempt to reform the education system of Islam as a 

response to the challenges of colonialism and Christian expansion.6 In terms of synergy between 

faith, science, and technology in this case according to the results of research conducted by KH. 

Akhiruddin implementation in the field of education, including the implementation of the 

development is the duty of both governments and communities together.7   

Of the various dynamics of the student also society to the lack of foundation of faith and 

science that synergy can be done in the face of the pace of information technology is how the 

Islamic Educational addressing this in order to be able to adjust and provide a strong foundation 

to the student also society in the implementation of norms and values religion in everyday life. 

 

B. Understanding 

1. Islamic Education 

Islamic Education is derived from two words, namely "Education" and "Islam". Inside 

there are two meanings of education discuss that always echoed by experts. First, education is to 

humanize human beings in the real sense is the transfer of culture and education. In view of the 

corner of education as a tool for humanizing basically seeks to develop human potential as much 

as possible so that at one point he grew as whole human beings.8 The word "Education" 

commonly we use now in Arabic is "MT" with the verb "Rabba". The word "teaching" in Arabic 

is "study groups" with the verb Allama. Education and instruction in Arabic "Wa Tarbiya Ta'lim,

whereas Islamic education in Arabic is" Tarbiyah Islamiyah ".9 Education is theoretically implies 

"feed" (opvoeding) to the soul of the students to get spiritual satisfaction, is also often interpreted 

as "growing" the basic human ability.10 While the meaning of Islamic education is the physical 

and spiritual guidance based on Islamic religious laws regarding the establishment of a major 

personality according to the size of the size of the religion of Islam. 11 Meanwhile, according to 

experts of Islamic Education has meaning: 

a. According to Miqdad Yelyin (a professor of social sciences at the university of Islam 

Muhammad bin Su'ud the Riyadh Saudi arabia) as quoted by Munarji, Islamic 

education is usama grow and shape a perfect Muslim man from all aspects Diverse are 

like ASPAK health, intellect, belief, spirit, will, creativity in all  growth rates are 

illuminated by the light brought by Islam with versions and methods of education that 

exist between them.12 

b. According to Muhammad Al-Jumaly, Islamic education is a human mangarahkan 

process to take more lives well and concern the degree of humanity, in accordance 

with the basic ability or disposition and ability (external influences).13 

c. According Simanjuntak IL Parasibu and Islamic education is the work done 

deliberately and systematically to encourage, assist, and lead a person to develop a ll 

their potential and transform yourself, from the quality of one to a higher quality.14 

d. Then, according to Omar Muhammad At Taurny Al Syaibani, Islamic education is an 

attempt to change the behavior of individuals in personality life or social life and the 

life of the natural surroundings through the educational process.15 

From some of these experts can be understood that Islamic education is an attempt 

maturation men (inner and outer) in the sense of guidance that requires learners to have the 

freedom to think, feel, act, and speak and believe in yourself with a full sense of responsibility in 

every action and behavior in everyday life on the basis of certain criteria specified in the religion 

of Islam.

2. Information Technology 

Information Technology (IT), or in English known as the Information technology (IT)is a 

general term for any technology that helps people to create, modify, store, 

communicate and / or disseminate information. TI brings together computing and 

high-speed communications for data, voice, and video. Examples of Information 

Technology is not only a personal computer, but also telephone, TV, electronic 

home appliances, and modern handheld devices (eg mobile phones).16  

Information technology can be defined as the use of technology for information 

processing purposes. This is similar to the definition set forth Dictionary of 

Information Technology which states that information technology is, "the 

acquisition, processing, storage and dissemination of vocal, pictorial, textual and 

numerical information by a microelectronics-based combination of computing and 

telecommunications ..."17 

C. Vision and Mission of the Islamic Religious Education 

1. educational vision 

Islam's vision of Islamic education has indeed attached to the vision of the teachings 

of Islam itself associated with the vision of the apostolate of building a human life 

that is obedient and submissive to Allah, according to his word: Surah Al 'Ankabuut: 

16  

and (remember) Ibrahim, when he said to his people: "Worship ye God and fear Him, that so it is 

better for you, if ye Knowing. 

thus the vision of Islamic education is to create a system of life that harmony, safe, 

peaceful, prosperous and unseen. As it is mentioned in the QS. Al Baqarah: 112  

 

 (Not so) even he who surrender to God, was he doing good, then his reward with their Lord, and no 

fear come upon them and not (also) they grieve. 

 

Based on the verse of the Directorate of Islamic Education simplify Vision has 

become: 

"The realization of Islamic Education Excellence, Moderate, and Being Leads World In

Integration of Religious Science, Knowledge and Technology" 

 

2. Mission of the Islamic Education 

Mission of the Islamic Education As word of vision, said the mission was derived 

from English , the mission meaningful tasks, mission, and the mission. Imam al - 

Syatibi states that the purpose of the presence of the religion of Islam to protect the 

five things that are right - human rights. 

5 things that constitute human rights are as follows: 

1. The right to life (al-nafs al Hayat)  

2. Right Religion (al din),  

3. the right to think (al-aql)  

4. The right to obtain offspring / pair life (al nasl)  

5. the right to property (al mal)  

the mission of Islam that glorifies human into Islamic Education's mission is: 

1. Realization of a healthy human body, Spiritual, and minds. 

2. have the science, skills, noble spirit, life skills (life skills) that allows it to take 

advantage of the opportunities given by God, including also managing the natural 

resources that exist on land, at sea, and even in space. 

From the description it is seen that the mission of Islamic education related to 

several things:  

1. Related to Efforts to lift the lift the dignity and human dignity  

2. In connection with efforts to empower man so that he can carry out its function as 

a Khalifah on Earth  

3. Related to the efforts to overcome various problems faced Mankind  

4. in connection with efforts to uphold the noble morality in all aspects of the life.  

With such a mission, the Islamic education has a very heavy responsibility, large and 

complex, as they relate to all aspects of human life. 

Education The mission of Islam that has been formulated by the Directorate of 

Islamic Education Year 2015-2019 are: 

1. Improving equitable access to Islamic education; 

2.  Improving the quality of Islamic Education; 

3.  Improve the relevance and competitiveness of Islamic Education;

4.  Improving governance of Islamic Education were good.18  

From some of the vision and mission of Islamic education that has been 

formulated by the Ministry of Religion, it is understood that the vision and 

mission that is already highly synchronized between education and technology 

that should work in synergy to achieve the same goal. 

  

D. Islamic Education Conditions Current 

As a country with a Muslim majority, Islamic education has a very significant role 

in Indonesia in the development of human resources and the development of the 

character, so that the people who created a reflection of Islamic society. Islam thus truly 

become rahmatan lil'alamin.  

But until now the Islamic education is still facing complex problems, from 

conceptual-theoretical problems, up-practical operational issues. This problem is not 

solved, makes the Islamic education lags with other educational institutions, both 

quantitatively and qualitatively, so that impressed Islamic education as education "second 

class". No wonder then that many of the Muslim generations that actually studying in 

educational institutions non-Muslims. 

Regarding the current state of Islamic education first we need to understand 

about the use of Islamic education Islamic education that is used in two things: one, all 

the activities carried out a person or institution to inculcate Islamic values within a 

number of students. Two, the whole institution which bases all its programs and 

activities on the views and values of Islam. Reality of Islamic education in Indonesia can 

be seen from two angles, namely: the government's commitment in the preparation of 

the National Education Act of 2003 and the reality of the state of Islamic education in 

Indonesia today. From the usefulness of Islamic education is known firsthand the 

condition of Islamic education today is: 

1. specifically Islamic education face various problems and gaps in the various aspects 

of the more complex, namely: the form of the issue of the dichotomy of education, 

curriculum, objectives, resources, and management of Islamic education. 

2. religious education is seen by the public eye. This is evident when the public interest

to send their sons / daughters to religious educational institutions such as madrasahs 

and boarding schools. Religious educational institution became secondary after 

school. One reason is the quality of religious education institutions is lower in 

comparison schools. 

3. Islamic education is still not able to face the globalization era very rapid 

development. Globalization, both in capital, cultural, ethical and moral. globalization, 

both in capital, cultural, ethical and moral. The globalization era is the era of free 

markets and free competition in the product at the same time material and services. 

If the first instance, to build a strong economic base communities rely heavily on the 

money capital (financial capital), the next evolution in human capital, that HR master 

science and technology, can master the task in a professional manner, as well as self-

behaved and impersonal.19 

4. Efforts to improve upon our education system has not been fundamentally Islamic, 

so impressed pickup only. Renewal business and an increase in Islamic education 

often be piecemeal or not comprehensive and thorough as well as most of the 

Islamic educational systems and institutions have not managed professionally.20 

The condition of some of the entries that must be completed in the next Islamic 

education system repair because it has been contrary to the vision and mission that has 

been determined. 

E. Response Against Islamic Education Information Technology 

In terms of Islamic education responses to the technology needs also known the 

relationship of religion with science and technology, namely: Broadly speaking, based on 

the reviews ideology that underlies their relationship,  there are three (3) types of 

paradigms by Yahya Farghal, 1990: 99-119 ), namely: First, paradigm secular, that is the 

paradigm that sees religion and science are separate from one another. Because, in the 

ideology of secularism, religion has been separated from the life (Fashl al-din 'an al-

hayah). Religion is not denied its existence, but only a limited role in human personal 

relationship with god. Religion does not regulate public life / public. This paradigm sees 

religion and science can not interfere and intervene in the other. Religion and science and

technology is completely separate both ontological (relating to the meaning or essence of 

something), epistemological (relating to how to acquire knowledge), and axiological 

(relating to how to apply the knowledge). 

The paradigm is based on the thoughts Karl Marx (d. 1883) who was an atheist and saw 

religion (Christianity) as the opium of the people, because he thinks religion makes 

people drugged and forget the cruel oppression of capitalism. Karl Marx sa id: 

 

"Religion is the sigh of the Oppressed creature, the heart of the heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a 

spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people. 

 

"(Religionis a lament being oppressed, the soul of a world of soulless, as he is a soul / 

spirit of the situation without the soul / spirit. Religion is the opium of the people) (See 

Karl Marx , Contribution to the Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right, contained in on 

Religion, 1957: 141-142) (Ramly, 2000: 165-166). 

Countries with a Muslim majority, is now in general are developing countries or 

underdeveloped countries, which are economically weak and too weak or no development 

of science and science-technology. 

The view of the response of Islamic education to information technology are: utilizing 

science and technology development to enhance human dignity and improve the quality of 

worship to Allah. IPTEK truth according to Islam is comparable to the emergence of 

science and technology itself. 

 

F. The problems that occurred at the Islamic Educational 

underlying common problems on education in general and in particular Islamic 

education is to prepare the younger generation, in order to have the ability in the future 

to address all the challenges they face adequately. While the more specific issue of the 

Islamic education is: 

1. still the problem of conceptual-theoretical or philosophical subsequently leading to 

practical operational issues. 

2. conceptual-theoretical problem is characterized by a dichotomy in the education 

paradigm Islam between religion and not religion, revelation and reason as well as the 

world and the hereafter.

3. lack of response to the social reality of Islamic education so that students away from 

their socio-cultural environment. By the time they graduate from Islamic institutions 

sometimes they will experience social-shock. 

4. the handling of this matter only in bits and pieces, integral and comprehensive. 

5. Lack of educational role of Islam in the face of the rapid pace of information 

technology 

6. In educational institutions, both formal and non-formal, system and method of 

learning on the subjects of Islamic education is less interaction with IT.  

7. The lack of realization of Islamic education management response is also a lecturer 

on information technology.  

From some of these problems are the most urgent factor is the rapid globalization 

through a variety of ways, either directly or indirectly. As well as the foreign cultures that 

are negative are very easily fit through various media one information technology media. 

Information technology in question is the internet media. Because the internet is 

accessible anywhere and anytime. This was evidenced by the following data:

years (2014-2016). Based on the most frequently Honored content, Internet users most 

frequently visited web onlineshop of 82.2 million or 62%. And content social medias 

most visited is up 71.6 million users, or 54% and the second is the Instagram of 19.9 

million users, or 15%. 

The data show a very high effect of information technology on people's daily lives so that 

the indications can change the behavior directly to each individual for very rapid 

development of information technology. Globalization has triggered a shift in the various 

aspects of the world, education is one of them. And education in the future will be more 

flexible (flexible). According to Rosenberg (2001) with the development of technology 

there are five (5) shifts in the learning process, namely (1). From training to performance, 

(2). From the classroom to anywhere and at any time, (3). From paper to the "on line" or 

channel, (4). Physical facilities to network facilities, and (5). From time to real time 

cycle.22 as a rapidly developing technology, information and communication technology 

must have some advantages and also disadvantages. There were realized, and some that 

may not be realized, because it has become part of the personality of a particular 

individual. Communications and information revolution that is sweeping the world of 

positive and negative implications. The implications of this in turn will expire or have an 

impact on the social, economic, technological developments and information to 

accelerate the process of national integration. The implication that we need to realize is 

the influence of the information technology world that hit the young generation.23 

 

G. Islamic Education Strategy in the Face of Information Technology 

in Islamic education in formulating strategies to respond to information technology, back 

to the picture a little review of Islamic education system, namely: 

1. Islamic personality. This is actually the consequence of the faith of a Muslim. In 

essence, a Muslim should have two fundamental aspects, namely the mindset ( 

'aqliyyah) and life patterns (nafsiyyah) which is based on Islamic theology. 

2. master Tsaqafah Islam. Islam requires every Muslim to seek knowledge. Based on the 

dose obligations.

necessary for Muslims are able to achieve material progress so that it can perform its 

function as a vicegerent of Allah on earth well. Islam establishes the mastery of 

science as fardlu kifayah, that if these sciences are indispensable people, such as 

medicine, kimi, physics, aviation, biology, engineering, etc. 

4. have adequate skills. Mastery of engineering sciences and practical exercises as well as 

the skills and expertise is one of the goals of Islamic education, which should be 

owned by Muslims in order to carry out his duties as the Caliph of Allah. As the 

mastery of science and technology, Islam also makes acquisition of skills as fardlu 

kifayah, ie if they are most needed people skills, such as industrial engineering, 

aviation, carpentry and more. 

5. the need to find the relationship between the system of values and norms of Islam 

with these developments. 

Based on the conditions and all the problems that exist in the realization of an Islamic 

education today, there are several strategies in the face of rapid flow of information 

technology, namely: 

1. defining "basic framework of philosophical education" in accordance with the 

teachings of Islam, then develop "empirical principles" underlying the 

implementation of in the context of the environment (socio and cultural) integrals 

philosophy (wisdom wahdatiyah) is part of the philosophy of Islam which is an 

alternative to developing a holistic view on the postmodern era in western society. 

2. In order to produce human resources education outcomes as expected, should be 

made an integrated education system. That is, education is not only concentrated on 

one aspect only. The education system must integrate all elements forming a 

superior education system. 

3. The synergy between the school, community, and family. Integral education must 

involve the three elements above. Therefore, the above three elements describe the 

educational objective factual conditions. Currently these three elements work 

synergistically yet, in addition to each of these elements is also not functioning 

properly. 

4. At the level of Higher Education (PT), a foreign culture can be delivered intact. 

Socialism-communism or capitalism-secularism, for example, can be introduced to

the Muslims once they understand Islam as a whole. Lesson ideology except Islam 

and other concepts presented is not intended to be implemented, but rather to 

explain and understand disability-blemish and it is incompatible with human nature. 

5. Not to make ICT as a medium or sole means of learning, for example, we do not 

just download the e-book, but still buy printed books, not only visit the digital 

library, but also still visit the library. 

6. The government as a control systems should have been more sensitive information 

and filter out anything that can be accessed by students and all the people of 

Indonesia in cyberspace. Moreover, the Ministry can also spread the filter in the 

form of a software program to suppress the adverse effects of information 

technology. Second, it needs the support of parents, culture and clerical figures, to 

socialize advice, benefits and negative positive side of technology. 

Some of these strategies can be understood as a system of Islamic education has a role that is 

extremely vital in the development of science and technology because it provides Islamic 

teachings to the students as a reference in the face of science and technology development as 

well as providing extensive insight to menginprestasi religious teachings of the sources are purely 

contextual with the future of human life, so that any swift development of science and 

technology human beings will be able to use it properly and be able to control it, especially 

among teenagers. 

 

H. Conclusion 

Of the various explanations and the problems of the above it can be concluded that: 

1. Islamic Education is a shared responsibility that each must work together in the face 

of all the changes in the era of globalization. 

2. Entering the era of globalization mankind especially Islam required in order to adapt 

themselves to the advancement of existing and clung to the teachings of religion. 

3. As a result that has been generated by the development of science and technology 

has given birth to an industrial society that has a materialistic nature, secularist, and 

individualistic. 

4.  The impact of science and technology development, it all depends on each 

individual eraser as consumers in everyday life. 

5. In the face of the swift currents of globalization of Islamic education must continue

to innovate to improve the quality of students' personal through habituation 

character communities. And keep in mind the duties and functions in improving the 

quality and character of the people not just the work of teachers in schools or task 

kiyais, but all is a shared responsibility with the aim of personal character, culture and 

religion continues to remain develop optimally.  

There are three things that must be recognized and applied as the key to improve, 

control, and science and technology returns to its original position, namely: 

1. Amar Ma'Ruf 

Islamic Education introduced the concept of the development of commanding the 

good. Not only relation in social intercourse alone, but commanding the good is 

interpreted also as self-development and science and technology in a positive way. So 

anything produced by the Muslims should have a benefit for the whole community. 

And utilization of science and technology should lead to the right and blessed by 

Allah SWT. 

2.      Nahi Munkar 

Islamic Education also shapes people of distinguishing and selecting the truth. 

Suppose there is misuse of science and technology, the Islamic education requires 

Muslims to avoid and rectify and prevent their abuse back. 

3.      Faith To Allah. 

The third point is the main point and the basis in Islamic education. Because with 

faith in God that Muslims will be able to deal with the negative impact of science and 

technology to come. Faith in God will bring the fear of doing immoral, and shame 

do mischief on earth. As much as any negative impact of science and technology, 

Muslims will be able to fortify themselves through increased faith is continuous. 

Therefore, the role of Islamic education in the development of science and technology, 

among others, the Islamic faith as the basis for the development of science and technology; and 

Islamic Sharia as the standard utilization of science and technology.
