The Indonesian Muslim community, which is moderate and inclusive, is currently turning towards conservatives. The media and facts have proven that the movement of radical groups influences Indonesia's social and political life. Various surveys show an increase in religious intolerance and radicalism among students. Islamic Higher Education students are the most fundamentalist, conservative, and exclusive students, according to a 2019 study. Various models of overcoming intolerance and radicalism in universities have been implemented. One of them is the establishment of houses of religious moderation, the obligation of universities to provide workshops and training on religious moderation and other forms of implementation. Previous studies mostly measure the level of student religious tolerance, measure the percentage of students exposed to radicalism and find the determinant factors that become the root of students being exposed to this ideology. Specifically, this research examines the effectiveness of universities' programs in counteracting and tackling radicalism as a program mandate launched by the Ministry of Religion. This research is quasi-experimental research conducted for 1 month. A total of 40 students using purposive sampling were used as research objects. Before the treatment is carried out on the research object. 40 Students were first given a questionnaire to measure their level of moderation and religious tolerance. One week later, the students were treated in the form of "religious moderation training" with the standard curriculum design of the Ministry of Religion. After the training, 40 students were given the same questionnaire with the questions that had been randomized. After 2 weeks, students were given the same questionnaire with modified questions. The collected data is processed and analyzed through multiple regression analysis. The results showed that religious moderation training for students impacted student tolerance, but the training program did not reflect a sustainable program. This research proposes that universities should formulate a moderation training program that is not only based on the standard curriculum of the Ministry of Religion but develops a more sustainable model.

In post-pandemic era, prejudice remains an important theme in public issues. Tensions between cultural, social, and even religious elements are still triggered by prejudice, especially religious prejudice. Even though conflicts occur due to a variety of factors, religion is frequently a significant factor. Religious issues frequently create religious intolerance. Religion is considered paradoxical (a paradox of faith) because it generates religious excitement (creating and even preventing prejudice formation) as well as moral and ethical decline. The imaginative world (literary works) is transformed into a communicative and contemplative medium, as well as a critical and reflective medium toward socio-cultural phenomena from/to the world of reality. Imaginary works become a medium of communication and peace-building for the development of religious tolerance through imaginary narratives that are able to present a diversity-oriented dialogue. This paper discusses on how Saddam Hussein’s novel ‘Ukhruj Minha Ya Mal’un’ reflects prejudice reduction. The texts shared a discourse on socio-cultural contact, inter-religious dialogue (inter-group friendship), inclusive theology, opposing prejudice, conflict resolution, individual personality, religious experience, and religious attitudes, which play important roles in the reinforcement of religious tolerance. Data on religious values (Islam) were collected from the novel’s text using the qualitative-interpretative method and Gordon Allport’s perspective on the nature of prejudice, and then explored using the technique of explication du texte. This paper argues that reinforcement of religious tolerance can be carried out continuously by discovering the fundamental values of religion and producing inclusive theological images so that they are more appreciative of diversity. The Implications of the findings of this study are expected to refute the assumption that religion is a final frontier (and/or has the potential prejudice) of personal prejudice, stereotype, and discrimination, with attitudes to faith driving negative perceptions more than ethnicity or nationality.

Indonesia is the second country in the world which has 84.35% Muslim population of its total population. Moreover, in Java, almost every region has a Muslim village with the name Kauman. Kauman is synonymous with a mini santri city which is characterized by a community that carries out activities at the mosque, many people then call it the Kauman Mosque. The Kauman Mosque in each region has its own uniqueness and characteristics, one of which is in Kebumen. Kauman Kebumen Great Mosque is the largest mosque in Kebumen Regency, Central Java. This mosque was founded by KH Imanadi in 1838 AD. With almost 2 centuries of age, it is said that this mosque has not been included in the list of cultural heritage buildings. In general, the Great Mosque in several locations (for example in Solo or Yogyakarta) has a burial complex in the western part of the mosque, but this is different from the Kauman Great Mosque in Kebumen, where no traces of graves have been found. The founders of the mosque or religious figures were not buried in the mosque area. The Great Kauman Mosque in Kebumen has undergone several renovations, but during these renovations, it is said that it still maintained traditional Javanese architecture with similarities to the typology of the Great Mosque of Demak. This is what attracted researchers to identify and analyze the history, cultural acculturation and forms of architectural change at the Kauman Great Mosque, Kebumen. This research uses a qualitative historical approach method through stagesheuristics (data collection by means of interviews with related parties and also collecting sources of oral history of the Kauman Kebumen community and also takmir mosques), verification (source criticism, this is done by limiting research observations so that the focus is on the objectives of this research), interpretation (analysis is carried out by creating a structured narrative that can be accounted for in its truth and novelty), and historiography (carried out to convey the results of observations in three chapter discussions which will be completed in approximately 2-6 months). The results of the research are to find out the history of the Great Kauman Mosque, Kebumen, cultural acculturation which can be seen from the acculturation of Islamic and Hindu culture in the mosque building and the factors that cause this almost 2 century old building to not be included in the cultural heritage building in 2023. The reasons why the building renovation was influenced environmental factors, namely socio-cultural, religious, economic, political and legal that apply at a certain time. There have been renovations several times, but there are parts that are maintained and preserved in order to preserve historical evidence in the form of archaeological objects in the form of artifacts and features to convey information that has been passed down from generation to generation in an effort to maintain the existence of the glory of the past.

The application of a learning method in the learning process has an impact on students’ acceptance. This can be seen in the use of offline-based learning methods: lecture and group presentation in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) course at 17 Agustus 1945 Semarang University (Untag) in the 2021-2022 academic year in the odd semester. Students' perceptions of offline-based learning methods: lecture and group presentation in Islamic Education course were studied using a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques were conducted through interview, observation, documentation, and questionnaire. From the result of the interview, which was then related to the result of observation during the learning process and compared with the result of the questionnaire, it was seen that the use of offline-based learning methods: lecture and group presentation in PAI courses caused different perceptions among each student. The application of the lecture method through explaining the material from the lecturer makes it easier for them to understand the material rather than having to learn and explain it themselves. It is proven that 79.8% of students like the offline lecture method compared to group presentations. As many as 52.9% of students chose group presentations. The group presentation learning method can train them to actively discuss and hone public speaking. However, after attending PAI lectures, students gain insight into religious knowledge and will apply it in their daily lives.

Beberapa tahun terakhir, dinamika keberagaman di Indonesia diwarnai dengan kasus ketegangan antar umat beragama khususnya Umat Islam dan Kristen. Harmonisasi keberagaman Umat Islam dan Kristen terusik dengan adanya oknum yang mendorong pada aksi pertentangan kedua agama tersebut. Kasus seperti terpotongnya nisan salib di Purbayan, Kotagede, Yogyakarta dan kasus ceramah agama di media sosial yang mengandung unsur penghinaan terhadap agama lain, sehingga menimbulkan hate-speech antar umat beragama. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkapkan suatu inisiatif dialog antara umat Islam dan Kristen yang tak sekedar teologis namun juga melibatkan mistisisme dan metafisika sehingga diperoleh titik kesepakatan dan perdamaian bersama, baik tataran teoretis maupun praktis. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan diskriptif kualitatif dan fenomenologis terhadap kasus ketegangan antar umat Islam dan Kristen yang terjadi di beberapa tahun terakhir. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebuah perdamaian antar umat beragama akan dapat terwujud dengan mendialogkan titik temu religius berdasarkan kajian komparatif terkait isu-isu vertikal-teologi, mistisisme dan metafisika. Dialog teologis, mistisisme dan metafisika antar umat Islam dan Kristen ini merupakan sarana dalam mengimplementasikan konsep moderasi beragama di Indonesia.

Mohammad Hatta is one of the founding fathers who declares Indonesian independence after Japan lost World War II in 1945. Well-known for being a nationalist, not many people know that Hatta came from a devoted Muslim family who upheld Islamic values to govern their way of life. His grandfather and uncle were respected Islamic scholars in West Sumatra who prepared Hatta to pursue higher religious education in Mecca and Cairo, although he ended up studying in The Netherlands for 11 years instead. This study aims to describe Hatta’s embodiment of religious tolerance, which covered tolerant acts in diverse communities, through his interaction with people from different ethnicities and religions both when he was part of the Muslim minority in Europe and when he was part of the Muslim majority in Indonesia. This is a descriptive qualitative study. The data were obtained from three volumes of Hatta’s memoir as the main data sources, which were then analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s model data analysis tools. The result shows Hatta’s encounters with people from different ethnicities and religions along with the religious tolerance he exemplified such as not forcing others to believe in Qur’anic teachings and appreciating different groups of people in his daily life. All of which were possible while remaining devoted to Islam. Observed from a historical perspective, religious tolerance had been personified by one of Indonesia’s greatest Muslim statesmen and arguably became the glue that unified Indonesia as a nation.
