Abstract

This article examines how Islamic educational quality is constructed in the digital religious literature of Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia. Rather than valuating institutional performance outcomes, this study examines how quality is defined, legitimized, and epresented through official institutional website texts. Although studies on digital religion, Islamic educational transformation, and institutional quality have developed significantly, limited attention has been given to official websites of Islamic schools and pesantren as religious-literary texts that shape public meanings of Islamic education. Using a qualitative design with digital textual analysis and thematic content analysis, this study examines 26 website texts from seven Islamic educational institutions collected between January and March 2026. The corpus includes vision and mission statements, institutional profiles, principals’ messages, flagship program descriptions, tahfiz and tahsin narratives, and routine religious activity pages. The findings show that Islamic educational quality is constructed through three interconnected textual operations: integration,etrification, and habituation. Integration appears in the fusion of academic competence,Qur’anic achievement, moral character, leadership, and social usefulness. Metrification appears in measurable Qur’anic indicators such as 30 juz, 3 juz, 7 juz, juz 30, tahsin, and tasmi’. By repositioning institutional websites as digital religious literature, this article shows that these texts do not merely report educational programs but actively produce Islamic educational quality as a normative public discourse. Artikel ini mengkaji bagaimana mutu pendidikan Islam dikonstruksi dalam literatur keagamaan digital milik lembaga pendidikan Islam di Indonesia. Penelitian ini tidak mengevaluasi kinerja nyata lembaga,melainkan menganalisis bagaimana mutu didefinisikan, dilegitimasi, dan direpresentasikan melalui teks-teks pada situs web resmi lembaga. Meskipun kajian tentang agama digital, transformasi pendidikan Islam,dan mutu kelembagaan berkembang pesat, perhatian terhadap situs web resmi sekolah Islam dan pesantren sebagai teks literatur keagamaan yang membentuk makna publik tentang pendidikan Islam masih terbatas. Dengan menggunakan desain penelitian kualitatif melalui analisis tekstual digital dan analisis isi tematik, penelitian ini menelaah 26 teks situs web dari tujuh lembaga pendidikan Islam yang dikumpulkan antara Januari hingga Maret 2026. Korpus penelitian mencakup visi dan misi, profil lembaga, sambutan pimpinan, deskripsi program unggulan, narasi tahfiz dan tahsin, serta halaman kegiatan keagamaan rutin. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa mutu pendidikan Islam dikonstruksi melalui tiga operasi tekstual yang saling terkait, yaitu integrasi, metrifikasi, dan habituasi. Integrasi tampak dalam penyatuan kompetensi akademik, capaian Al-Qur’an, karakter moral, kepemimpinan, dan kemanfaatan sosial. Metrifikasi tampak melalui indikator capaian Al-Qur’an yang terukur, seperti hafalan 30 juz, 3 juz, 7 juz, juz 30, tahsin, dan tasmi’. Habituasi tampak dalam normalisasi salat berjamaah, puasa, rutinitas membaca Al-Qur’an, pembentukan akhlak, dan kegiatan tarbiyah harian. Artikel ini berkontribusi pada kajian literatur keagamaan digital dengan menunjukkan bahwa situs web resmi lembaga pendidikan tidak sekadar melaporkan program pendidikan, tetapi secara aktif memproduksi mutu pendidikan Islam sebagai wacana normatif di ruang publik.
