Telaah Kepemimpinan Kiai dalam Mencegah Radikalisme: Studi di Pondok Pesantren Krapyak Yogyakarta

Abstract

Indonesia is a country with enormous diversity, both in religion, ethnicity, language and culture. In the context of social life, this diversity is a challenge for the nation. One of the main challenges is maintaining social harmony in society and building tolerance between religious communities. Indonesia, with its various religious understandings, tends to cause friction between groups, if the group still considers the truth only within their group. This study aims to examine the role of the Krapyak Islamic boarding school in preventing radicalism and forming moderate or tolerant attitudes among its students. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method, where data is collected through interviews, observations, and document-tation involving Kiai and administrators of the Krapyak Islamic boarding school. Based on the results of the study, it was found that in preventing radicalism and forming moderate behavior, the Krapyak Islamic boarding school does it in several ways, namely: 1) through the cultivation of morals by studying classical books (yellow books), 2) halaqah or discussion of a problem between students, 3) memorization in the form of sorogan and bandongan, 4) habituation of students' daily activities. This habituation pattern is relevant to forming a moderate or tolerant attitude.
