Abstract

The rapid expansion of social media has transformed the way students access religious information and engage in public discourse, creating both opportunities and challenges in addressing digital radicalism. In this context, promoting religious moderation has become an important strategy for fostering tolerance and balanced perspectives among young people. However, empirical studies examining how social media influences students’ attitudes toward religious moderation remain limited. This study aims to analyze the role of social media in shaping and strengthening religious moderation among university students. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research involved university students who actively use social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Instagram, and TikTok. Data were collected through semi-structured online interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that social media plays a dual role: it facilitates exposure to diverse viewpoints that encourage openness, tolerance, and critical reflection, while simultaneously presenting challenges through the rapid circulation of provocative or extreme narratives. Students responded to these dynamics by developing digital literacy and critical filtering strategies to maintain balanced perspectives. This study contributes to the discourse on digital religion and education by highlighting how social media can function as a strategic platform for promoting religious moderation among university students in the digital era.

Abstract

The issue of religious extremism and intolerance has become a significant challenge in contemporary Islamic education, particularly in shaping students’ religious character. Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) play a strategic role in instilling moderate Islamic values through religious learning traditions and cultural practices. This study aims to describe the internalization of Ahlussunnah wal Jama’ah (Aswaja) values tawasuth (moderation), tawazun (balance), tasamuh (tolerance), and i’tidal (justice) in developing the moderate character of students at Simpay Hurip Al-Musri’ Islamic Boarding School as a non-formal salafi pesantren. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design. Research participants included the kiai, teachers, and students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in depth interviews, observations, and documentation and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The novelty of this research lies in revealing the internalization of Aswaja values in a non-formal salafi pesantren without a formal curriculum but implemented systematically through pesantren culture, exemplary leadership, and traditional learning activities. The findings show that this process fosters open, tolerant, and dialogical attitudes among students.
