Quickly Building World Peace Through Islamic Peace Education
Percepatan Pembangunan Perdamaian Dunia melalui Pendidikan Islam Damai
Abstract
A clear disparity exists between the conceptualization of Islam as an ideal and its actual practice. Conceptually, Islam represents total submission to the will of God and is inherently associated with values of peace, safety, and harmony. However, in some contexts, Islam is often perceived as a source of conflict and is viewed negatively by non-Muslims. Therefore, it is essential to disseminate the peaceful values of Islam through education in order to bridge this gap. This study aims to examine the Islamic-Based Peace Education Program (PPBI) initiated at STITNU Al-Farabi Pangandaran by the Pusat Studi Budaya dan Perubahan Sosial (PSB-PS). This research employs a descriptive qualitative method. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis. The data were analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the program has identified and integrated nine Islamic values that promote peacebuilding into textbooks and the curriculum. The implementation of PPBI includes various activities, such as seminars, group discussions, workshops, teacher training, book publication, and classroom instruction. The program aims to cultivate a culture of peace through formal education, both in compulsory subjects (such as Islamic Religious Education) and extracurricular activities, based on the principles of nonviolence and peacebuilding.
