THE EXPERIENCE OF IKRAM NGO IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ISLAMIC EDUCATION IN MALAYSIA: A CONCEPTUAL STUDY

This study aims to analyze the educational approach brought by IKRAM Malaysia through content analysis of key documents, character writing and education program reports from 2020 to 2023. Five main themes have been identified through an analysis of ten main sources. First, IKRAM education is based on the concept of holistic Islamic education that combines intellectual, spiritual, emotional and social aspects. Second, the role of teachers is seen not only as educators, but as murabbi and value leaders who play a role in shaping student legitimacy. Third, education is used as an instrument of da'wah and social reform through community programs, especially among the B40 community. Fourth, since 2022, there will be an integration of Madani values such as compassion, respect and trust within the IKRAM education framework, in line with the current needs of Malaysian society. Fifth, the post-pandemic has seen a shift in strategy towards more flexible and sustainable digital and hybrid education. This study concludes that IKRAM's educational approach is dynamic, responsive and value-based, making it a contemporary Islamic education model that is holistic and relevant to the needs of the times.
