Abstract

The current wave of global educational disruption, driven by digitalization and the liberalization of information, has shifted the orientation of religious learning to become completely instant while dismantling traditional methodological foundations. This cyber phenomenon triggers a shallow understanding due to the consumption of fragmented religious texts without authoritative guidance. This article aims to analyze the existence and resilience of traditional Islamic educational institutions, such as dayah and pesantren, in maintaining and defending the chain of transmission (sanad) methodology as a fortress of authenticity for Islamic teachings in the modern era. This study employs a qualitative approach using contemporary library research along with a sociological-epistemological analysis to dissect the endurance of traditional methodologies amidst global disruption. The findings indicate that amid the onslaught of fast-paced cyber information, traditional educational institutions stand firm in preserving the talaqqi system and sanad transmission that traces back directly to Prophet Muhammad SAW. The existence of this sanad proves to be more than a mere formality of academic certification; rather, it functions as a strict epistemological, moral, and spiritual filtration system. This mechanism guarantees that religious knowledge is not interpreted in a textual-radical or liberal-secular manner that cuts ties with its historical context. The results of this study offer a strategic theoretical contribution to the sociology of Islamic education, particularly in mapping the cultural-institutional defense models of traditional institutions against global modernity, while proposing a new perspective that traditional resilience is a spiritual innovation that transcends modern mechanization.
