INTEGRASI SINERGI PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM DAN PENDIDIKAN VOKASIONAL DALAM MEMBANGUN KOMPETENSI HOLISTIK: ANALISIS PADA MAAHAD TAHFIZ VOKASIONAL AMAN BISTARI (MTVAB), MALAYSIA
Abstract
Contemporary Islamic education faces the challenge of addressing the demands of
the 21st century, which require a balance between spiritual competence and
professional skills. This study aims to analyze the integration of Islamic Religious
Education (PAI) and vocational education in developing students’ holistic
competencies through a case study at Maahad Tahfiz Vokasional Aman Bistari
(MTVAB), Malaysia. A qualitative case study approach was employed, utilizing in-
depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, with data
analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model The findings indicate that
MTVAB implements an integrated curriculum that emphasizes spiritual formation
through Qur’anic memorization, daily worship, and moral strengthening., alongside
vocational skills development through hands-on training in culinary arts, automotive,
tailoring, and craft animation. The synergy of these elements produces graduates
known as huffaz professionals individuals who are fluent in Qur’anic memorization
while being technically competent and guided by Islamic work ethics. Supporting
factors include government support, competent teachers, and adequate facilities,
while the main challenges involve financial constraints, limited human resources,
and societal stigma. In conclusion, MTVAB demonstrates the successful
implementation of a holistic educational model that harmonizes religiosity with
practical skills, serving as a potential blueprint for the future development of globally
competitive Islamic education.
