Abstract

This study investigates the event of a group of Buddhist monks praying during the Vesak holiday in 2024 at the Baiturrahman Mosque in Bengkal, Temanggung, and the subsequent public responses on social media. In Indonesia, where Islam is the predominant religion, there are sometimes interfaith  encounters that transcend conventional borders. The monks’ prayer, which was recorded and extensively shared on social media sites including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, provoked a range of responses, from appreciation for religious tolerance to concerns about the sanctity of sacred space. Using mediatization and framing theories, the study explores how the incident was portrayed and how it shaped public perception. A mixed-method approach, combining sentiment and thematic analyses of social media comments, identifies themes of societal harmony, religious identity, and tolerance. Positive sentiments celebrating interfaith tolerance predominated, though some saw it as overstepping religious boundaries. This case highlights social media’s role in framing religious discourse and influencing opinions, emphasizing its impact on interfaith relations and societal tolerance in Indonesia. The study sheds light on how digital media shapes views on interreligious engagement and coexistence.

Abstract

This writing discusses the application of Sufistic values to prevent toxic relationship problems among Gen Z at the KH. Sholeh Darat Islamic Boarding School, PCNU, Semarang City. The study focuses on the tasawuf (Sufism) values implemented for the students (santri) to prevent toxic relationships. The dissemination of Sufi teachings is conducted by integrating scholarly knowledge with spiritual practice. In addition to exploring the intellectual heritage of scholars through the study of classical Islamic texts (kitab kuning), congregants are encouraged to cultivate spiritual purity through the tradition of collective prayer (istighosah. The research employed a qualitative method, focusing on the study of student peer relationships, with both female and male students, within the Pesantren and school setting. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, documentation, and observation. The research results indicate that students who apply Sufistic values in their daily lives can prevent themselves from toxic relationships, both in friendships and romantic relationships among Gen Z students.
