Integritas Terbuka: Peace and Interfaith Studies (INT) is an open access journal that includes multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary religious studies in the field of interfaith dialogue and peace studies. Integritas Terbuka: Peace and Interfaith Studies is part of the Open Integrity Program, an experiential and interactive program that uses the wisdom of the Open Integrity approach. The program is designed to develop skills, knowledge, and attitudes that bring to life the values of wisdom from different faiths and religions to build peace in a contemporary pluralistic world. This scientific journal (INT) focuses on an in-depth study of religious beliefs and traditions as well as interfaith dialogical relationships that influence contemporary social realities in the social dynamics of society, including: (1) research focused on the uniqueness in religious beliefs and traditions found in religious texts and best-practices of social aspects of religious experience and practice in society; (2) research that builds a broader awareness and understanding of the potential for promoting peace that is evident in dialogue between people of different faith traditions.

Abstract

This study aims to explain how inclusive education practices at Cendekia Muda Universal Islamic School, Bandung, West Java, contribute to building a culture of peace through the social processes formed in the daily interactions of the school community. The analysis focuses on how Islamic-based values, relationships, and school programs shape inclusive social identities, particularly for students with special needs. This research employs a qualitative approach through participant observation, in-depth interviews with the principal, teachers, and students from Grades X–XII, as well as document analysis. The findings demonstrate that peace values are constructed through inclusive routines that normalize differences, foster peer support, and reduce social distance among students. Islamic religious programs such as Friday Reflections, akhlak mentoring, and cross-identity dialogue serve as key arenas for reconstructing stereotypes, strengthening empathy, and expanding social solidarity. In addition, collaboration among the principal, teachers, the inclusion coordinator, parents, and students creates a coherent and supportive educational ecosystem that nurtures open-minded, egalitarian, and cooperative student character. This study concludes that an inclusion model grounded in Islamic values holds transformative potential for cultivating sustainable peace within schools. As its original contribution, this research proposes the concept of “inclusivity as a peace practice” within Islamic schooling—an area still rarely explored in Indonesian sociology of education.

Abstract

This study critically examines the term Islam Nusantara as a key concept in Indonesia’s discourse on Islamic moderation. Nahdlatul Ulama popularized the term to articulate a form of Islam that integrates Islam’s universal values with local cultural contexts. This study aims to assess the conceptual precision of Islam Nusantara by analyzing its lexical and historical implications, given its expanding use across religious discourse, academic debates, and public policy. The study employs a qualitative approach grounded in lexical-semantic analysis and historical-conceptual inquiry. It draws on library research by conducting a critical reading of religious texts, organizational documents, public speeches, and academic literature that represent the pro-and-con debates surrounding Islam Nusantara. First, at the lexical level, the phrase Islam Nusantara contains inherent ambiguity because its grammatical structure permits an attributive reading—Islam that is Nusantaran—which can prompt audiences to interpret it as a particular variant or typology of Islam rather than as a designation of the geographic and cultural context of Islamic practice. Second, at the historical level, the narratives that sustain the term tend to treat Javanese–Malay Islam as the dominant representation of Islam in the archipelago, thereby obscuring the plurality of routes, agents, and Islamic traditions across Indonesia’s islands. Third, at the discursive level, Islam Nusantara functions primarily as a discursive strategy and a project of religious identity through which actors articulate Islamic moderation in the context of nationhood and globalization, rather than as a stable normative theological category. These findings underscore the need for conceptual caution in deploying religious terminology so that it does not generate semantic reduction or symbolic exclusion. The study’s original contribution lies in formulating a framework for terminological critique that positions Islam Nusantara as an arena of meaning negotiation between Islam’s universality and cultural locality, while opening space for the development of a concept of Islamic moderation that is more academically precise and historically inclusive.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has fundamentally transformed the landscape of interfaith dialogue, reshaping not only patterns of communication among religious communities but also the distribution of religious authority and the formation of religious public spheres. This study aims to systematically examine how digital transformation—through social media, artificial intelligence, and online ecosystems—reconfigures the practices, actors, and meanings of interfaith dialogue in the contemporary era. This research is particularly significant given the growing role of digital technology as both a medium and a mediating structure of religious dialogue, which generates new opportunities while simultaneously raising complex ethical, epistemological, and theological challenges. This study adopts a qualitative approach through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method by examining journal articles, conference proceedings, and academic books published between 2020 and 2024 and sourced from reputable international databases. The analysis follows stages of systematic selection, thematic coding, and conceptual synthesis to identify major patterns of findings, shifts in authority, and theoretical tendencies within the scholarship on digital interfaith dialogue. The findings indicate that digital platforms significantly expand the space for interfaith dialogue by enhancing inclusivity, accessibility, and participation across geographical and institutional boundaries. At the same time, this transformation accompanies a shift in religious authority from institutional structures toward decentralized digital actors, including religious content creators and artificial intelligence–based systems that function as epistemic mediators. On the other hand, the study also reveals serious challenges, such as algorithmic bias, disinformation, the commodification of religious practices, and increasing dependence on AI-based dialogue systems, all of which risk reducing the depth of theological reflection and the overall quality of interfaith engagement. The implications of this study underscore the urgency of developing a prophetic and theological approach as a normative framework for responding to digital transformation. Such an approach positions religious communities as critical actors in shaping digital ethics, strengthening technological literacy, and fostering cross-sector collaboration with technology stakeholders. The originality of this study lies in its critical synthesis that integrates interfaith dialogue studies, digital religion, and artificial intelligence within a single analytical framework, thereby enriching the conceptual understanding of religious studies amid global digital transformation.
