Dampak Pendidikan Agama Islam terhadap Mobilitas Sosial Generasi Muda Muslim

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the normative foundations of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) from the perspective of authoritative Islamic sources and its relevance to the social mobility of young Muslims in Indonesia. Using a library research method with a qualitative-descriptive approach, this study focuses on analyzing texts from the Quran and Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad SAW related to education, social ethics, and character. The findings reveal that Islamic teachings contain fundamental principles that inherently encourage social mobility, such as the command to seek knowledge (Q.S. Al-Mujadilah: 11), the ethos of hard work (Q.S. Al-Jumu'ah: 10), honesty (Q.S. Al-Ahzab: 70), and social responsibility through zakat and infaq. These principles, when internalized through PAI, form spiritual and character capital (moral capital) that serves as a primary driver of vertical mobility and social integration. The study concludes that the effectiveness of PAI in supporting social mobility depends heavily on the extent to which its curriculum and teaching practices can transmit and contextualize these Islamic normative values into the Indonesian sociological reality.
