Abstract

This study aims to investigate the important role of Islamic religious education in shaping superior character in the younger generation. The focus is to understand how Islamic religious education can contribute in developing the morality, ethics, and values necessary to form qualified and noble moral individuals. This research uses qualitative and quantitative approaches by conducting a comprehensive literature review and case studies involving participants from various walks of life. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and analysis of documents related to Islamic religious education and character building of the younger generation. The results showed that Islamic religious education plays an important role in shaping superior character in the younger generation. Through a deep understanding of religious values, young people can internalize the principles of honesty, justice, compassion, and social responsibility. In addition, Islamic religious education also provides a strong foundation for developing attitudes of tolerance, respecting diversity, and strengthening religious identity. This study confirms that Islamic religious education has a strategic role in shaping superior character in the younger generation. The recommendations resulting from this study include expanding the Islamic religious education curriculum, increasing training for educators, and increasing the role of family and community in supporting the formation of character with integrity and ethics in the younger generation

Abstract

In an increasingly complex social, cultural, and global reality, the transformation of Islamic religious education becomes imperative to equip students with the necessary skills and attitudes to navigate modern challenges. Traditional approaches to Islamic religious education may no longer suffice in addressing contemporary issues such as radicalism, extremism, and religious intolerance. This paper explores the significance of transforming Islamic religious education to cultivate critical thinking and religious tolerance among students. By emphasizing active, reflective, and dialogical learning approaches, educators encourage students to question, analyze, and reflect on Islamic teachings critically. Moreover, through a deep understanding of diversity principles within Islam and interfaith dialogue, Islamic religious education plays a crucial role in fostering religious tolerance. However, implementing this transformation faces challenges, including inadequate teacher training, institutional support, and curriculum constraints. Addressing these challenges requires investments in human resource development, financial support for diverse curriculum development, and the promotion of collaboration among educational institutions with different religious backgrounds. Only through concerted efforts can Islamic religious education contribute positively to building critical thinking and religious tolerance among students, preparing them to become integral members of harmonious and inclusive societies.
