The Existence of the Yellow Book in the Digital Era: Study in Dayah Aceh

Abstract

The existence of the yellow book is very important for Islamic boarding schools or dayahs in Aceh. Every religious lesson must use the yellow book as the main reference for teachers in teaching. The yellow book has been used for centuries in the study of dayah. However, the existence of internet media in the current digital era has an effect on learning patterns in the dayah environment. The yellow book as a learning resource in the dayah faces the challenges of the digital era media that is able to answer various people's problems quickly. In the digital era, the public and students can access information related to Islamic teachings via the internet quickly, cheaply and easily. The purpose of this study is to find out and describe the existence of the yellow book in the digital era (study in dayah aceh). This research is a field research with a qualitative descriptive method. The results show that the yellow book still exists in the current digital era and remains a mandatory reference in the dayah curriculum, but the progress of the digital era continues to color the pesantren curriculum treasures with the finding that Guree Dayah uses the Maktabah Syamilah feature as a supporting reference. Furthermore, in responding to advances in information technology, dayah utilizes the internet as a medium of da'wah and socialization of dayah as well as reviewing legal issues encountered by the public on the internet by referring to the yellow book

Hal ini bagi masyarakat Aceh telah amat lekat dengan kebudayaan lokal yang disebut dengan 'meugure' atau 'jak beut'.…”

“…Memang, posisi Dayah bagi masyarakat Aceh tampak tidak tergantikan mengingat perannya dalam sejarah Islam di Aceh. Namun, saat ini Dayah atau Lembaga Pendidikan Islam Tradisional mengalami dilema dalam menghadapi tentangan kemajuan era teknologi dan informasi (Meriza et al, 2022). Pendidikan secara umum telah berubah menuju modernisasi yang bersinggungan dengan isu-isu kontemporer yang berjalan terus tanpa bisa dihentikan.…”

“…Kaidah di atas adalah satu dari dalil yang dipegang para pimpinan pesantren terpadu dalam upaya untuk merekonstruksi ulang Dayah di Aceh (Meriza et al, 2022). Pesantren terpadu juga tetap memiliki aspek al-ashlah dan cenderung adaptif dengan jaman dengan menghadapi konsekuensi dari dunia modern.…”

Kitab kuning’s existence in the history of Islamic education and its relevance to modern Islamic society in Aceh

“…In Aceh, this happened with the acceptance of the books of Imam ash-Shafi'i (fiqh and Ush al-fiqh), the books of Abu Hasan al-Asy'ari (theology), and the books of Imam al-Ghazali (sufism). In fact, following these books, pesantren students in Aceh define themselves to belong to Ahl as-Sunnah wa al-Jamā'ah (Meriza et al, 2022).…”

“…First, it is intended to deepen Islamic sciences such as the knowledge of the Quran (Quranic law and interpretation), hadith, fiqh (Islamic law), and various other aspects which lead to strengthening the methodology in the Islamic scientific paradigm. Second, it offers chances for discussion in teaching by opening up space to discuss verses, hadiths, laws or language rules which allow students to grasp learning material more easily (Meriza et al, 2022).
