The Role of Ulama and Muslim Networks in Countering Radicalism
The accumulation of religious temperament can affect human interaction. In the context of religious behavior, Islam addresses two terms known as al-ifrāṭ (excess) and al-tafrīṭ (neglect). The first refers to the exorbitance of the individual in experiencing and expressing his religiosity, while the second means ignoring a certain religious order easily. Both are conflictual. In terms of inter-religious interaction, believers' excessive religiosity could neglect others' religiosity. In this regard, some people tend to avoid the presence of others due to their excessive religious confession. This research explores religious networks conducted by Muslim organizations in Pamekasan, Madura, that could bridge inter-religious relations between Muslims and others, especially between Muslims and Christians. Through observation and in-depth interviews, this research describes the so-called religious excessiveness that could lead religious believers to respect different religions and faiths. The paper found that the ulama network could become an effective medium to reduce religious excessiveness and promote religious moderation
Pesantren and World Peace: Considering the Functional Role of Pesantren in Creating Moderate Santri Pioneers of Peace
The focus of this article is pesantren and world peace, which discusses the functional role of pesantren in creating moderate santri. This article is reflective, and the result of a literature study carried out by the authors. Based on the results of the author's study, the future of peace for the nation and the world depends on our perspective and abilities, including santri as part of the world community, especially in building mutual commitments in the context of religion, nation, and part of the world community that is moderate in its religious diversity. Based on data from the Indonesian Ministry of Religion, there will be at least 39,043 pesantren in 2022/2023, with a total number of santri of 4.08 million, which certainly has great potential. However, to make pesantren a basis for religious moderation, their durability can be tested, especially in the context of their functional role in world peace. Pesantren’s resilience can be tested from the achievement of its functional prerequisites, both in terms of adaptation, goal attainment, integration, and latency, which should be in line with the needs of creating moderate santri who pioneer peace. However, it is not impossible to become dysfunctional, if it is on the contrary when pesantren is closer to religious radicalism. In addition, one of the biggest challenges is how pesantren can produce moderate santri in this fast-paced digital era, where the influence of cyberspace is often more dominant than conventional learning
Curriculum Integration in Islamic Boarding School: A Case Study of Al-Ihsan Boarding School, Riau
The increasing demand for Islamic boarding schools to deliver both religious and academic education has prompted curriculum integration efforts nationwide. However, previous studies have not fully addressed how pesantren practically implement this integration while maintaining educational quality. This study explores how Al-Ihsan Boarding School in Riau integrates the Diniyah Curriculum with the National Curriculum, focusing on implementation practices, challenges, and institutional responses. The main research problem centers on how pesantren can balance two different pedagogical frameworks within a limited time and capacity. Using a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis, data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations involving the Deputy Head of Curriculum and the Boarding School Leader. The data were analyzed thematically through stages of data condensation, categorization, interpretation, and verification. Findings reveal that integration enhances students’ competencies across both curriculum domains, yet faces challenges including contrasting instructional methods, time constraints, and varied student preparedness. To overcome these, Al-Ihsan has developed contextualized support strategies, such as study clubs and tutoring sessions, which help students adapt and succeed. This study contributes a context-specific model for curriculum integration in pesantren and recommends future research on broader institutional comparisons, as well as policy support for adaptive academic management in Islamic boarding schools

Negotiating Religious Identity In Religious Moderation: A Case Of Islamic University
Religious Moderation has been an important program in Islamic Higher Education since 2019. This program contributes to the spread of moderate religious views among Islamic higher education stakeholders. This research is qualitative research conducted at UIN Raden Mas Said Surakarta. The results of this study indicate that there were variations of religious identities in responding to religious moderation as can be seen from various extra-campus affiliated with mass organizations. Some extra-campus organizations were not inclined toward religious moderation values. These religious identities can be seen from the extra-campus at UIN Surakarta, including IMAMTA, HMI, PMII, IMM, and KAMMI which have various perspectives, perceptions, receptions, acceptance patterns, interactions, and relations of each mass organization concerning religious moderation. This study indicated that religious identities that have metamorphosed into extra-campus organizations have an opportunity to be explored to propose a more nuanced religious moderation at the university level
Unveiling The Excellence: Socio-Cultural Perspectives on the Impact of Teacher Certification Program For Male Teachers In Indonesian Islamic Kindergartens
There is a crucial importance to the quality of teachers in education, which necessitates strategies to ensure their competence. It is for this reason that teacher certification is utilized in Indonesia. In spite of the fact that existing research highlights its personal and pedagogical benefits, the socio-cultural dimensions of the initiative have yet to be adequately explored. Using sociocultural theory, this study conducted qualitative interviews with eight male teachers from Islamic kindergartens in four provinces in Indonesia. The analysis of these teachers revealed the following impact: certification increased their income, enhanced their institutional image within the community, provided opportunities for colleagues to share certification experiences, increased motivation to improve performance, and cultivated a spirit of collectivism by sharing certification benefits with non-certified colleagues. In addition to shedding light on income's pivotal significance in individuals’ lives, the certification program served as a cultural tool, power dynamics might be impacted by the certification program, and the program contributed to strengthening community values. As a result of this research, future studies may examine the program's long-term effects on teachers and the community in general, as well as its influence on power dynamics and cultural context
Religious Education For The Environment: Integrating Eco-Theology In The Curriculum of Islamic Religious And Character Education To Enhance Environmental Education In Indonesia
Environmental education (EE) is a crucial issue amid acute environmental degradation. This study aims to analyze the content of Islamic eco-theology in Indonesia's Islamic Religious and Character Education (IRCE) curriculum and integrate it into the curriculum as a form of offering ethical spirituality in environmental education to enhance environmental education. This study is qualitative research that incorporates the literature study supported by structured interviews and document studies. Interviews were used to collect data that concerned teachers of high schools of IRCE in Semarang, Central Java. Document studies were employed to address the IRCE curriculum of High Schools, journal articles, and government policy documents. Data analysis used the descriptive-interactive method. The results showed that the curriculum of IRCE emphasizes the affective domain in environmental education matters. However, it does not yet address the cognitive one appropriately, so IRCE teachers teach environmental education by inserting relevant IRCE themes. This study emphasizes the importance of integrating eco-theology in the IRCE curriculum and recommends that Islamic eco-theology be included in the IRCE curriculum in Indonesia so that the inculcation of environmental education values can work better through IRCE learning
