Student’s perception of the Islamic religious development program at Universitas Islam Indonesia

This research aims to understand how students of the 2021 and 2022 cohorts of Fakultas Ilmu Agama Islam, Universitas Islam Indonesia (FIAI UII) assess the sanctification program conducted by Direktorat Pendidikan dan Pembinaan Agama Islam (DPPAI) over two periods with different transitions, both in terms of procedures and implementation time. The focus of this study is on students’ perceptions of the sanctification program organized by DPPAI UII and their views on an ideal sanctification program. This research is qualitative-descriptive in nature. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that students perceive the sanctification program as a mere formality, especially in the 2021 cohort, where the program was conducted online. In contrast, the 2022 cohort identified shortcomings in the program, citing a lack of initiative from musyrif/musyrifah (mentors) in guiding students during the program. According to students, an ideal program would involve extending the duration of the sanctification program to approximately one year, allowing for a more thorough assimilation of the Islamic values imparted to the students.
