Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of Islamic educational institutions in strengthening national education within the multicultural society of Rahtawu, Muria Kudus. This research employed a qualitative approach. The data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation involving religious leaders, community leaders, educators, and residents of Rahtawu Village, Kudus. The data were then analyzed using the interactive model proposed by Miles and Huberman, which consists of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that Islamic educational institutions strengthen national values through religious education, character building, and various social activities that promote tolerance, mutual cooperation, and social responsibility. In addition, local wisdom traditions, such as sedekah bumi, barikan, and bodo contong, serve as important means of fostering social cohesion, religious moderation, and multicultural awareness. The study reveals that the interaction between Islamic educational values and local traditions creates an inclusive educational environment that supports national unity and peaceful coexistence. This research contributes to the understanding of Islamic education as not only a religious learning space but also a social institution that actively shapes civic identity in multicultural communities.
