The Impact of Islamic Education on Interfaith Tolerance at Madrasah Aliyah
Abstract
This research examines the impact of Islamic education on interfaith tolerance at Madrasah Aliyah in Cipanas District, Lebak, Banten. Amid the increasing phenomenon of intolerance, the role of Islamic education in shaping tolerant attitudes becomes crucial. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Islamic education in instilling tolerance values, identify factors affecting its effectiveness, and examine its impact on student tolerance behavior. Using a qualitative approach with library research methods, this study analyzes various relevant literature sources and documents. The results show that the implementation of integrative and inclusive Islamic education has successfully built a comprehensive understanding of tolerance values from an Islamic perspective. Factors such as teacher competence, madrasah culture, and stakeholder support influence program effectiveness. Despite facing various challenges, the madrasah has successfully developed adaptive strategies to overcome these obstacles. This research provides significant contributions to the development of an inclusive Islamic education model relevant to contemporary challenges.
