Abstract

Islamic teachings value plurality or plurality as an unavoidable empirical reality. Each religion has different directions in carrying out worship or religious ceremonies. Understanding the activities of other religions besides those we profess within ourselves will foster an attitude of tolerance. Tolerance in religion does not mean we mix religious teachings, but respect each other and help create security and comfort for people of other religions in worship. Thus the plurality (diversity) of religion is a sunnatullāh that cannot be avoided in the life of society, nation, and state. In general, religion is the primary source of values in the culture. However, these values cannot change automatically manifest in the practice of human life. In other words, the values, ideas, and spirits introduced by religion, including Islam in it, are still passive. It must be distinguished between the wealth of treasures, thoughts, and religious principles contained in the holy book, or religious book, with the ability of its adherents or institutions to interact with the role of civilization. In that realm, conflicts of interest and assertion of identity will emerge on a different scale

Abstract

This article examines Islamic Religious Education (IRE) as an agent of social transformation in the context of socio-cultural change, digital disruption, and literacy challenges. The study aims to analyze how Islamic education operates as a pedagogical, cultural, and institutional practice that shapes public ethics, critical awareness, and students' social participation. This research employed a qualitative, educational ethnographic design at SMA Muhammadiyah 4, Andong, Boyolali, Central Java. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with IRE teachers, school leaders, student activity advisors, and students, as well as documentation of curriculum materials, school programs, and cultural artifacts. Data were analyzed thematically through coding, theme development, and interpretive meaning-making. The findings show that Islamic school culture functions as a collective moral language, IRE pedagogy moves between normative transmission and critical dialogue, and digital transformation produces micro-justice practices based on Islamic values. The article contributes to strengthening the perspective of Critical Islamic Pedagogy by integrating pedagogical, leadership, and socio-cultural dimensions in explaining the role of IRE as an agent of social transformation.
