Strategi Interpretasi dan Internalisasi Nilai-Nilai Kiamat Kubra dalam Materi Pembelajaran Iman Kepada Hari Akhir di Sekolah

Abstract

This study aims to analyze Dr. Umar Sulaiman Al-Ashqar’s eschatological thought on Kiamat Kubra and formulate strategies for interpreting and internalizing its values in teaching Faith in the Day of Judgment for Generation Z. The background is based on two problems: first, the delivery of Kiamat Kubra material in schools remains predominantly fear-based and textual-normative, thus irrelevant to the critical and visual psychological characteristics of Gen Z; second, the lack of studies integrating Al-Ashqar’s moderate and systematic thought into PAI pedagogical design. This research employed a qualitative method with library research and critical pedagogy analysis approaches. Primary data were obtained from Al-Ashqar’s Al-Qiyamah Al-Kubra, while secondary data were collected through classroom observations and interviews with PAI teachers at high schools in Sumedang. The findings reveal three main points: 1) Reconstruction of Interpretation, Al-Ashqar offers a wasathiyah framework that emphasizes targhib and raja’ without neglecting tarhib, and links the signs of the Hour to contemporary ecological and moral crises; 2) Internalization Strategies for Gen Z, including a visual-storytelling model based on digital Qur’an, accountability journal projects as yaumul hisab simulations, and critical dialogue on doomsday vs day of responsibility; 3) Pedagogical Implications, learning must shift from a “fear-inducing” narrative to a “role-awakening” one by integrating scientific explanation and spiritual meaning. This study recommends the Transformative Eschatology model as an alternative value-based learning approach aligned with the Pancasila Student Profile and Gen Z’s critical reasoning characteristics.
