<![CDATA[This article explores how Islamic Education (Pendidikan Agama Islam or PAI) teachers foster students' attitudes toward religious moderation as a unifying force for the nation. The study concludes that students at SMP Muhammadiyah 2 Tepus Gunungkidul, Indonesia (a private junior high school) actively participate in Rohis (Islamic Student Organization). This engagement is attributed to the students' educational backgrounds, as most are graduates of elementary schools in Gunungkidul, where mandatory programs include religious activities both in schools and their local communities. PAI teachers play a pivotal role in cultivating students' understanding and practice of religious moderation through both instructional and extracurricular Islamic activities.

These efforts serve as a foundation for fostering cohesion and solidarity among the nation's youth.]]>
