Abstract

ENGLISH

Tolerance is a core value in Islam that is derived from the Qur'an and Hadith, emphasising social harmony and respect for differences. Verses like QS. Al-Baqarah: 256 and QS. Al-Mumtahanah: 8, as well as the hadiths on human relationships, show that diversity is part of the divine will. However, erroneous or limited interpretations can lead to practices that are contrary to these values. Therefore, a contextual approach is important to maintain the relevance of the teachings of tolerance in Islam in the modern era. Islamic educational institutions have a strategic role in instilling the values of tolerance through the curriculum, education, and cultural practices of the school. This study emphasises the importance of reinterpreting religious teachings to answer contemporary socio-cultural challenges, as well as the integration of tolerance values that combine faith, science, and humanity. However, there are significant challenges in interpreting the postulates of tolerance contextually, such as resistance from textualist groups, the dominance of traditionalist perspectives, and ideological pressure. To answer this challenge, a deep interpretive approach from thinkers such as Quraish Shihab and Amin Abdullah is needed for religious texts to make a positive contribution to pluralistic and peaceful societies. This article bridges the gap between textual and contextual studies of tolerance in Islam. By analysing the Qur'an and Hadith, this study enriches the academic discourse on universal values in Islamic teachings and the importance of education as a means of internalising these values. The article also proposes practical strategies, including curriculum reform and teacher training based on Islamic universal values, to build a tolerant and inclusive generation. Empirically based follow-up studies are recommended to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of tolerance values in various types of Islamic educational institutions, both madrasas, Islamic boarding schools, and modern Islamic schools.

Toleransi merupakan nilai inti dalam Islam yang bersumber dari Al-Qur'an dan Hadis, menekankan harmoni sosial dan penghormatan terhadap perbedaan. Ayat-ayat seperti QS. Al-Baqarah: 256 dan QS. Al-Mumtahanah: 8, serta Hadis-hadis tentang hubungan antar manusia, menunjukkan bahwa keberagaman merupakan bagian dari kehendak ilahi. Namun, tafsir yang keliru atau terbatas dapat mengarah pada praktik yang bertentangan dengan nilai ini. Oleh karena itu, pendekatan kontekstual menjadi penting untuk menjaga relevansi ajaran toleransi dalam Islam di era modern. Institusi pendidikan Islam memiliki peran strategis dalam menanamkan nilai-nilai toleransi melalui kurikulum, pengajaran, dan praktik budaya sekolah. Studi ini menekankan pentingnya reinterpretasi ajaran agama untuk menjawab tantangan sosial-kultural kontemporer, serta integrasi nilai toleransi yang menggabungkan keimanan, keilmuan, dan kemanusiaan. Meski demikian, terdapat tantangan signifikan dalam menafsirkan dalil-dalil toleransi secara kontekstual, seperti resistensi dari kelompok tekstualis, dominasi perspektif tradisionalis, serta tekanan ideologis. Untuk menjawab tantangan ini, pendekatan interpretatif mendalam dari pemikir seperti Quraish Shihab dan Amin Abdullah diperlukan agar teks agama dapat memberikan kontribusi positif bagi masyarakat plural dan damai. Artikel ini menjembatani kesenjangan antara kajian tekstual dan kontekstual tentang toleransi dalam Islam. Dengan menganalisis Al-Qur'an dan Hadis, penelitian ini memperkaya wacana akademik mengenai nilai-nilai universal dalam ajaran Islam dan pentingnya pendidikan sebagai sarana internalisasi nilai-nilai tersebut. Artikel ini juga mengusulkan strategi praktis, termasuk pembaruan kurikulum dan pelatihan guru berbasis nilai-nilai universal Islam, untuk membangun generasi yang toleran dan inklusif. Studi lanjutan berbasis empiris direkomendasikan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas penerapan nilai-nilai toleransi dalam berbagai tipe lembaga pendidikan Islam, baik madrasah, pesantren, maupun sekolah Islam modern.
