Role, Gus Miek, Islamic Education, Santri, Generation ZAbstract
Islamic education ideally encompasses the development of cognitive, spiritual, moral, and emotional aspects to shape muttaqin individuals, especially in the context of Generation Z, who tend to rely more on social media than teacher guidance. This study aims to examine the role of Gus Miek in educating santri through an inclusive and contextual da’wah approach. The research employs a literature study method by analyzing secondary sources related to Gus Miek’s thoughts and da’wah practices. The findings reveal that Gus Miek developed the concept of jalan terabas, a non-conventional da’wah approach that emphasizes empathy and openness, particularly for individuals engaged in deviant behavior. He conducted direct spiritual guidance in marginalized settings such as nightclubs and entertainment venues. His educational model is relevant to Generation Z, highlighting compassion, inclusiveness, and pressure-free learning. Gus Miek’s contribution demonstrates that a humanistic religious approach can effectively engage youth segments and shape contextual religious character in modern times.
