<![CDATA[Religious intolerance is a serious threat to social cohesion in Indonesia's multicultural society. The destruction of the Gereja Kristen Setia Indonesia (GKSI) prayer house in Padang City in 2024 is a real manifestation of the weakening of ukhuwah values in social life. This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of the crisis of ukhuwah values, examine the chronology and causal factors of the conflict, and interpret the case through the perspective of the Qur'anic paradigm. The method used is descriptive qualitative research with a case study approach, supported by questionnaire data distributed to 35 respondents from young academics. Primary data were collected through surveys, while secondary data came from mass media coverage and literature review. The analysis results show that the conflict was triggered by low religious tolerance, group fanaticism, lack of community dialogue, and the spread of provocative information through social media. As many as 91.4% of respondents confirmed that the destruction of a place of worship contradicts ukhuwah values, and 97.1% rejected violence as a response to differences in belief. A total of 97.2% believe Islam teaches mutual respect among religious communities, and 94.3% believe the Qur'anic paradigm promotes peace. In the perspective of the Qur'anic paradigm, these intolerant actions contradict the teachings of QS. Al-Hujurat verse 13 and QS. Al-Mumtahanah verse 8. This research recommends strengthening tolerance education, religious moderation, interfaith dialogue, digital literacy, and law enforcement as a comprehensive strategy for preventing religion-based conflicts.]]>
