Selain itu, dokumentasi dan observasi juga digunakan untuk menyempurnakan data. Untuk menentukan arti dan konteks pemahaman akidah yang berkembang di lingkungan pesantren, analisis data dilakukan melalui pendekata deskriptif dan interpretatif.
Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa tiga pendekatan Epistemologi digunakan untuk membentuk pemahaman akidah santri. Tiga pendekatan tersebut adalah bayani, yang muncul melalui pengajaran kitab klasik, burhani yang hadir melalui forum diskusi di dalam kelas, dan irfani yang muncul dalam praktik spiritual seperti dzikir dan salat berjamaah. Melalui penguatan nilai-nilai keislaman dan keteladanan ustadz di pesantren dapat menciptakan suasana yang kondusif. Ini secara keseluruhan memperkuat keimanan dan karakter santri.

ABSTRACT
Umi Nurohmah, Nim: 211121044, Understanding of Islamic Creed Among Students at Pondok Pesantren Mahasiswa Darussalam Kartasura (Epistemologi Perspectives of Bayani, Burhani, and Irfani), Aqidah and Islamic Philosophy Study Program, Faculty of Ushuluddin and Da’wah, State Islamic University of Raden Mas Said Surakarta, 2025
This study focuses on Pondok Pesantren Mahasiswa Darussalam Kartasura, which has a unique characteristic in that all its students are university students. This condition demands an approach to Islamic creed education that is not only text-based (bayani), but also rational (burhani) and spiritual (irfani). The purpose of this research is to examine the students’ understanding of Islamic creed through these three epistemological approaches. This research is highly relevant considering the challenges of information overload, the increasing crisis of religious identity, and the influence of social media which often leads to distorted understandings of religion.
The study employs a qualitative method using field research. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with seven students, one pesantren administrator, and two religious teachers. In addition, documentation and observation methods were also used to enrich the data. To determine the meaning and context of creed understanding that develops within the pesantren environment, the data were analyzed using descriptive and interpretative approaches.
The results of the study showed that three Epistemological approaches were used to shape the understanding of the students' faith. The three approaches are bayani, which emerged through the teaching of classical books, burhani which is present through discussion forums in the classroom, and irfani which emerged in spiritual practices such as dhikr and congregational prayer. Through strengthening Islamic values and the exemplary behavior of ustadz in Islamic boarding schools, a conducive atmosphere can be created. This overall strengthens the faith and character of students.
