The Contribution of the Faslul Khos Program in Enhancing the Religious and Academic Education Quality of Students at MBI Amanatul Ummah

Abstract

The Faslul Khos Program is one of the flagship initiatives at Madrasah Bertaraf Internasional (MBI) Amanatul Ummah, designed to equip students with strong Arabic language skills and profound Islamic understanding. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Faslul Khos Program and analyze its contribution to improving the quality of students’ religious and academic education. A descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method was employed in this research. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving teachers, students, and program administrators. The findings show that the program significantly strengthens the teaching of Fiqh and Arabic, while also shaping students into disciplined, independent individuals ready to pursue higher education in the Middle East. Key success factors include a well-structured curriculum, the use of classical Islamic texts as learning resources, and intensive guidance from experienced instructors. Thus, the Faslul Khos Program plays a significant role in enhancing the quality of pesantren-based education that is adaptive to global dynamics.
