Abstract

Background: Amid the rising intolerance and radicalism among Indonesian university students, as evidenced by surveys from BNPT and PPIM UIN Jakarta, a significant gap exists in integrating authentic wasathiyyah religious moderation concepts into the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) curriculum. This issue is exacerbated by exposure to extremist narratives via social media and the lack of applicable models from contemporary scholars, necessitating a balanced theoretical foundation to foster moderate student character. Objective: This study aims to describe Abdur Rahman Al-Sudais's wasathiyyah concept from his work Bulugh al-Amal fi Tahqiqi al-Wasathiyyah wa al-Itidal and analyze its implementation at PTKIS such as STID Mohammad Natsir and STAI Al-Hidayah Bogor. Method: A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, utilizing library research, content analysis, observation, and interviews, focusing on Al-Sudais's primary text and field practices. Result: Key findings reveal tawassuth (middle path), itidal (justice), and tasamuh (tolerance) as the core of Al-Sudais's wasathiyyah, successfully applied through PAI curriculum integration, interfaith dialogue, and community service at both institutions. The discussion affirms that this model effectively counters right- and left-wing extremism, aligns with Kemenag RI policies, and contributes to national harmony in diversity through contextual and inclusive Islamic higher education. Conclusion: Al-Sudais's wasathiyyah framework provides a Qur'anically grounded, institutionally replicable model for religious moderation in Indonesian private PTKIs. Integrating this framework into PAI curricula, RMB activities, and community service programs demonstrably counters radical tendencies and aligns with Indonesia's RPJMN 2020–2024 moderation mainstreaming mandate.

Abstract

Background: Breeding grounds for radicalism and extreme liberalism on Indonesian university campuses continue to endanger religious education cohesion, while Islamic higher education institutions mired in the fragmentation of different-flavored ideologies without moderation policies worsen polarization among students. This circumstance emphasizes the absolute requirement for an integrated wasathiyyah framework in PAI curriculum. Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze the conception of Abdurrahman Al-Sudais about wasathiyyah as stated in Bulugh al-Amal fi Tahqiq al-Wasatthiyah wa al-Itidal and its implementation in PAI curriculum design in Indonesian Islamic higher education institutions. Method: This is a qualitative study using library research and a descriptive-interpretive (hermeneutical) approach. The data were collected through content analysis of the dominant text and participant observation via case studies on STID Mohammad Natsir Bekasi and STAI Al-Hidayah Bogor, and then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. Results: It turns out that Al-Sudais's wasathiyyah is based on tawassuth (42%), i'tidal (35%), and tasamuh (23%), as grounded in QS. Al-Baqarah: 143. All of these values are internalized in a number of courses that exist in PAI, namely through Islamic Religious Moderation Houses (Rumah Moderasi Beragama) and various community service programs (KKN), which actively reduce intolerance and foster inclusive religious attitudes. Conclusions: Al-Sudais's framework offers a researchable, empirically based model of PAI development that strengthens religious moderation, encourages inter-religious harmony, and prepares a balanced generation to face Indonesia's pluralistic community.
