<![CDATA[Abstract This research aims to describe how the interpretation of the Religious Institution of the Islamic Tarbiyah Union (PERTI) in West Sumatra about jihad, as well as to explain the institution's stance on terrorist actions carried out under the guise of jihad. A qualitative method is employed in this study, with data gathered through interviews, documentation, and literature reviews, including books, scholarly articles, religious texts, and news reports. The research is guided by Peter L. Berger's social construction theory to elucidate the construction of the religious institution PERTI in West Sumatra regarding the meaning of jihad. The findings indicate that PERTI in West Sumatra interprets jihad in verses and hadiths as a form of striving in the field of educating the community (tafaqquh fid din). This understanding of jihad is then internalized into various educational programs, ranging from elementary levels such as kindergarten and primary school to secondary school, high school, and even higher education institutions. Moreover, PERTI explicitly rejects the interpretation of jihad as warfare within the Indonesian context. The jihad undertaken by PERTI is characterized as moderate. This research contributes to enhancing the understanding of stakeholders and the general public about the diverse and moderate interpretations of jihad. It also demonstrates that religious institutions in Indonesia have their own interpretations of jihad, such as PERTI Sumatera Barat.
