Abstract

The authority of the kyai in Islamic boarding schools today can no longer be fully understood only through traditional theories that focus on knowledge and sanad. In the contemporary context, the legitimacy of kyai is also influenced by factors such as social relations, descent and digital media. This study aims to analyze the process of forming the authority of the kyai in the Islamic boarding school community. The method used is qualitative with a case study approach, data collection through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation analysis. The results of the study show that the process of establishing the authority of the kyai in the Islamic boarding school community is carried out through scientific genealogy (sanad keilmuan), genealogy of descent (nasab/dzurriyah), and adaptation to modernity through social media and digital public spaces. These findings show that the authority of the kyai is not something fixed, but rather is formed through a social process that continues to change along with the use of digital media, symbols, and cultural interactions.
