These developments not only transformed the economic structure but also affected the social, cultural, and spiritual life of farming communities. This study aims to analyze changes in trade during the colonial period and local communities responses to economic, social, and cultural pressures, with a particular focus on the transformation of agrarian practices, land ownership patterns, social inequality, cultural adaptation, and the role of Islamic values in preserving the identity of Priangan society. This study employs a descriptive-interpretative qualitative approach using the historical method, which consists of heuristics, source verification, interpretation, and historiography. The findings show that, during the 19th century, the Dutch colonial government established commercial plantations in the Priangan region that focused on export commodities such as coffee and tea, thereby contributing to transformations in the agrarian cultural landscape. These changes affected not only the economic sphere but also contributed to the erosion of social and cultural values, such as <em>gotong royong</em> (mutual cooperation) and traditional agrarian rituals. Nevertheless, local communities demonstrated cultural resistance by adapting Islamic values into their agrarian practices, thereby strengthening social solidarity and local identity. This study contributes to highlighting the agrarian cultural characteristics of Indonesian society, which underwent significant transformations as a result of the hegemony of plantation culture oriented primarily toward industrialization and commercialization.</p> Rizki Malik Ibrahim Arif Sulaiman Alanuari Abd.

This study aims to analyze the historical development of Islamic education in Kerala, particularly the transformation from mosque-based <em>dars</em> systems into modern, integrated Islamic educational institutions, as well as to identify the factors that have supported their continuity and development. This study employs a qualitative-historical approach, utilizing data from institutional histories, scholarly literature, organizational archives, institutional reports, and relevant documents. The data were analyzed using historical and thematic analysis by tracing changes in institutional structures, curricula, organizational arrangements, and pedagogical practices across different periods in the development of Islamic education in Kerala. The findings indicate that the transformation of Islamic education in Kerala has been influenced by the roles of visionary <em>ulama</em> and scholars, community involvement, curriculum modernization, the strengthening of institutional autonomy, the expansion of Islamic education to higher levels, and increased access to education for women. These developments have been further strengthened by philanthropic support, the migration of Kerala communities to the Gulf countries, the utilization of digital technologies, and international academic collaboration. These factors have enabled Islamic educational institutions to respond to social changes and contemporary educational demands without abandoning their Islamic foundations. This study concludes that the Kerala experience demonstrates a model of integration between tradition and modernity through integrated curricula, academic innovation, institutional strengthening, and community support. These findings provide a relevant perspective for advancing the discourse on Islamic educational reform in the context of contemporary Muslim societies.</p> Sayid Habeeb Rahman K. P Maimoonath A.
