Abstract

Historical studies of Islamic kingdoms in Indonesia generally focus on political, economic, and military aspects, while the dimension of Islamic education has not been systematically analyzed as a structural indicator of civilizational change. This article aims to analyze the dynamics of the rise and decline of Islamic kingdoms in the Indonesian archipelago through the perspective of Islamic education as the main variable. The research uses a historical-qualitative approach based on library studies of Indonesian and international historiographical sources and reputable scientific journal articles. The kingdoms studied include Samudera Pasai, Aceh Darussalam, Demak, Banten, and Islamic Mataram. The results show that during the peak period, Islamic education developed through political patronage, the integration of ulama and the palace, and the institutionalization of mosques, dayah, and pesantren. During the period of decline due to internal conflict and colonialism, Islamic education did not experience total disruption but transformed into a more autonomous community-based institution. Comparative analysis reveals a pattern of institutional resilience of Islamic education amidst changing power structures. Islamic education in the Indonesian archipelago has proven to be highly adaptive and capable of maintaining continuity of values despite political fragmentation.
