Abstract

Religious diversity in Indonesia necessitates an inclusive understanding to maintain social harmony amidst the challenges of polarization and religious exclusivism. Schools serve as strategic spaces for instilling values of tolerance through Islamic Religious Education (PAI). This study aims to compare tolerance values in Islamic and Hindu teachings, analyze the common ground between the two, and explore their implementation in PAI learning as an effort to strengthen religious moderation. This research employs a qualitative approach involving a review of theoretical literature of learning in schools with Muslim and Hindu students. The results indicate that despite having different theological frameworks, Islam and Hinduism share a strong convergence in social ethics. Islam emphasizes tasamuh, ta’awun, and ukhuwwah insaniyyah (human brotherhood), while Hinduism is grounded in Tat Twam Asi (equality of essence) and Ahimsa (non-violence). Both teachings agree on prioritizing values of humanity, peace, and acceptance of plurality. The implementation of these values in PAI learning is carried out through cross-religious curriculum integration, dialogical methods, inclusive character habituation, and teacher role modeling. The implementation results show a significant positive impact, where the majority of students (90-94%) demonstrate mutual respect and the ability to cooperate without discrimination. This study concludes that a comparative approach in PAI is effective in strengthening students' religious moderation

Abstract

Buddhist Sunday School (Sekolah Minggu Buddha/SMB) plays an important role in supporting children’s religious education. However, children’s participation in SMB activities at Vihara Buddha Ratana Karangasem, Bali, remains inconsistent. Of the 30 registered children, only approximately 18–20 attend regularly each week. This condition indicates variations in participation that may be associated with parental roles and motivation. This study aims to analyze the influence of parental roles and motivation on children’s participation in Buddhist Sunday School activities at Vihara Buddha Ratana Karangasem, Bali. A quantitative approach with a causal-associative method was employed to examine the relationship between parental roles and motivation as independent variables and children’s participation as the dependent variable. Primary data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and supported by field observations and documentation. The findings indicate that parental roles as educators, motivators, facilitators, role models, and supervisors have a significant influence on children’s participation in SMB activities. Parental motivation is also closely associated with children’s level of participation, indicating that stronger parental involvement and motivation correspond with higher levels of children’s participation in Buddhist Sunday School activities. These findings contribute to the study of Buddhist religious education and provide practical considerations for parents, SMB teachers, and monastery administrators in developing strategies to strengthen children’s participation in Buddhist Sunday School

Abstract

The global ecological crisis calls for theological reflections that move beyond normative approaches and engage with the lived religious experiences of local communities. This study addresses the limited attention given to indigenous rituals as sources of theological reflection in the development of contextual ecotheology. The research seeks to answer the following questions: How is the Toet Ulan ritual structured and understood within the community of T’eba Timur Village? How does it relate to the theology of creation? What ecotheological dimensions are embedded within the ritual practice? This study employed a qualitative approach using an ethnographic-theological method. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving twelve informants consisting of 3 traditional figures, ritual practitioners, religious figures, community figures and ritual participants. The data were analyzed through data reduction, thematic categorization, and theological interpretation in dialogue with the creation narratives of Genesis 1–2 and contemporary ecotheological perspectives. The findings reveal that the Toet Ulan ritual represents an ecotheological expression of the Timorese Dawan agrarian community, articulating an integral relationship among human beings, nature, ancestors, the community, and God as the source of life. Rain is understood as a divine gift, land as a life-sustaining reality that must be nurtured, ancestors as collective ecological memory, and communal solidarity as an ecological praxis. This study proposes the Relational Ecotheology Model of Toet Ulan, which is grounded in four interconnected relationships: human beings with God, nature, ancestors, and the community. This model enriches the study of theology of creation and contextual ecotheology by showing that customary rites can function as a locus theologicus in building the ecological spirituality of society

Abstract

Schools occupy a strategic position in cultivating students’ capacity to live with social and religious difference, yet tolerance education often remains confined to normative instruction. This study examines how SMKN 2 Purwakarta fosters social and religious tolerance, identifies the practices through which tolerance is institutionalized, and analyzes supporting and constraining factors. It employed a qualitative case-study design. Field data were collected on 16–21 December 2025 through semi-structured interviews with six purposively selected participants a principal, a religious education teacher, a Pancasila education teacher, a homeroom teacher, and two students supported by non-participant observation and document review. Data were analyzed through condensation, thematic display, and iterative conclusion drawing; credibility was strengthened through source and technique triangulation. The findings show that tolerance was embedded in school policies, dialogic learning, non-ritual participation in religious activities, student organizations, and routine cross-identity cooperation. Three analytical patterns emerged: a cultural-institutional approach, non-ritual inclusivity, and functional tolerance. Institutional commitment, teacher modelling, and everyday diversity supported these practices, whereas social-media narratives, different family socializations, and limited instructional time constrained them. The study concludes that tolerance is cultivated most convincingly when formal norms are reinforced by repeated, equitable, and purposeful social encounters. Because the study concerns one school and a short fieldwork period, the findings should be read as a context-bound account rather than evidence of causal effectiveness or a model automatically transferable to other schools

Abstract

This study originated from a research question regarding the moral crisis in the digital age, characterized by phenomena such as FOMO, social media addiction, the culture of flexing, hoaxes, post-truth, and cyberbullying all of which undermine the integrity, empathy, and spiritual resilience of the younger generation. The research question posed is how the concept of tazkiyatun nafs in the Sufi tradition can be implemented as a solution to this digital moral crisis. The method used is qualitative research employing a library research approach, through a systematic analysis of classical Sufi literature, Islamic ethics, and modern media psychology. The results indicate that tazkiyatun nafs, with its three stages: takhalli, tahalli, and tajalli can serve as a conceptual framework that bridges digital exposure with moral behavior. Takhalli is manifested as a spiritual digital detox process that purifies undesirable traits in online interactions; tahalli plays a role in fostering virtuous traits through digital moral practices that cultivate empathy, honesty, and responsibility; while tajalli brings about divine awareness that guides every digital activity, thereby fostering emotional stability and inner peace. The findings of this study confirm that tazkiyatun nafs is not only theologically relevant but also applicable in the context of contemporary digital psychology, and can be implemented through digital muhasabah, online zikir communities, and technology-based religious education. Thus, this study makes a tangible contribution to strengthening the moral integrity, spiritual well-being, and mental resilience of the younger generation as they face the challenges of the digital age

Abstract

Sapta Darma, as one of the belief systems (aliran kepercayaan) developing in Jemur Wonosari, Surabaya, exists as a minority group amid the dominance of officially recognized religions, thereby facing challenges in maintaining its existence while building harmonious relations with its surrounding environment. Based on this issue, the study formulates three research questions: (1) What forms of inclusivity are implemented by the Sapta Darma community in Jemur Wonosari, Surabaya; (2) How does inclusivity serve as a strategy to maintain the existence of Sapta Darma as a local belief system; (3) What factors support and hinder the implementation of inclusivity in maintaining the existence of Sapta Darma as a local belief system. The study employs a descriptive-analytical qualitative method grounded in Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann's social construction theory, involving observation of six informants. The results show that inclusivity is manifested through theological, social, and cultural dimensions, and functions as a strategy through active participation in community activities, open communication without coercion, and sensitivity in designing activities to build social acceptance at the micro, meso, and macro levels. Legal protection, an open (non-exclusive) system of teachings, and good relations with community leaders serve as supporting factors, while inconsistencies in policy implementation and negative stigma remain inhibiting factors. These findings indicate that inclusivity functions as a strategy for preserving Sapta Darma's existence while also fostering good social relations

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the concepts of khauf and raja’ in Imam Al-Ghazali's thought and their relevance to the formation of self-control in modern life. The study uses a qualitative approach with library research. The main source of the study is the book Minhajul ‘Abidin by Imam Al-Ghazali, supported by various scientific literature on Sufism, Islamic psychology, and self-control. Data were analyzed using content analysis techniques through the process of identifying, interpreting, and synthesizing concepts related to khauf, raja’, and self-control. The results show that khauf functions as a self-control mechanism that originates from spiritual awareness of supervision and accountability before God. This concept encourages individuals to control their desires, increase self-reflection, and form a strong moral awareness. Meanwhile, raja’ acts as a motivational force that fosters optimism, psychological resilience, and a spirit of self-improvement through hope in God's grace. This study found that the balance between khauf and raja’ forms a comprehensive pattern of self-control because it integrates spiritual, moral, and psychological dimensions simultaneously. Therefore, the concept of khauf and raja’ in Imam Al-Ghazali's thinking has significant relevance as a basis for strengthening self-control in facing various moral, emotional, and social challenges in the modern era

Abstract

Spiritual education in pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) is closely connected with the cultivation of character and moral conduct (akhlak). This study examines Dalā'il al-Khayrāt as a devotional practice through which spiritual values are interpreted and internalized by students at Darussalam Plaosan Islamic Boarding School, Purworejo. It addresses three questions: (1) which spiritual values are associated with Dalā'il al-Khayrāt, (2) how students internalize these values in daily life, and (3) how participants relate the practice to their moral development. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews with the pengasuh (caretaker and religious leader), one administrator, and five students, as well as documentation. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings show that mahabbah (love for the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him) is the value most directly associated with the devotional content of Dalā'il al-Khayrāt, while istiqāmah (steadfastness), responsibility, discipline, humility (tawāḍuʿ), and related moral dispositions were reported primarily in connection with repeated practice, guidance, and the wider religious environment of the pesantren. Internalization was described through the granting of ijazah (authorization to practice a religious tradition), habituation through regular recitation and mujāhadah (spiritual striving), and reinforcement through exemplary leadership and institutional religious culture. Participants associated these processes with greater discipline, responsibility, respectful conduct, self-control, consistency in worship, and inner tranquility. Given the single-site design and short field period, these findings indicate perceived associations rather than independent causal effects

Abstract

Adolescence is a developmental period strongly influenced by the social environment, particularly peers, including in the sphere of religious behavior such as participation in puja bakti. Preliminary observations of Buddhist adolescents in Sampetan, Boyolali, showed variation in participation in puja bakti that appeared to be associated with peer relationships, although the specific forms of this influence were not yet clear. This study aimed to describe the role of peers in shaping Buddhist adolescents’ motivation to participate in puja bakti in Sampetan, identify the forms of peer influence on their participation, and analyze the factors affecting their motivation. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed involving four Buddhist adolescents in Sampetan who were members of REDISA (Sampetan Village Buddhist Youth) as key informants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation and were analyzed using the interactive analysis model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, consisting of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that peers primarily function as a source of social support by reminding one another of puja bakti schedules, inviting one another to attend together, modeling religious behavior, and creating a sense of comfort during activities. Based on the informants’ experiences, these forms of support were associated with greater enthusiasm for participating in puja bakti, although religious motivation was also influenced by other factors, including personal awareness, parents, and vihara mentors. Viewed through Social Learning Theory and Self-Determination Theory, the study concludes that peers are perceived as playing a supportive role in Buddhist adolescents’ participation in puja bakti in Sampetan

Abstract

This study examines how the Semarang City Forum for Interfaith Harmony (FKUB) translates Qur’anic principles governing Muslim–non-Muslim relations into institutional practices that foster interfaith tolerance. It addresses a gap in previous FKUB studies by connecting the forum’s programs with a contextual analysis of Qur’an 60:8, 10:99, 6:108, and 9:73. Using a qualitative field-study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with two purposively selected FKUB officials, observation of the School of Harmony program at SMAN 2 Semarang, and document review. The data were interpreted through philosophical-exegetical and sociological approaches. The findings show that FKUB Semarang operationalizes the principles of kindness and justice, freedom from religious coercion, respect for other faiths, and context-sensitive understandings of conflict through programs such as the School of Harmony, interfaith dialogue, mediation, and recommendations concerning community harmony and places of worship. The forum’s interpretation of jihad also distinguishes contemporary peacebuilding from physical warfare and emphasizes educational, social, and dialogical forms of engagement. These findings indicate that the relationship between Qur’anic interpretation and FKUB practice is not merely normative: scriptural values are translated into concrete institutional mechanisms for cultivating mutual respect, preventing tension, and sustaining peaceful coexistence in Semarang. This study contributes a locally grounded account of how Qur’anic principles can inform interfaith governance in a plural urban setting.
