The Deradicalization of Islamic Boarding Schools towards Pluralism Based on the Interpretation of Inclusiveness in the Theme of the Verse of Jihad

Abstract

Objective: To find out the ways and opportunities for deradicalization efforts among the Islamic boarding school community towards an understanding of pluralism based on an inclusive interpretation of the theme of jihad verses Research method: This study used a qualitative approach, with a descriptive-analytical method sourced from existing research to be developed and compared with different variables. Results: One of the results of an inclusive interpretation that can be used as the basis for the deradicalization process of the Islamic boarding school community is that of M. Quraisy Shihab in his tafsir of Al Misbah. In this book, jihad is interpreted with a broader meaning that jihad has meanings: 1) exerting one's all abilities and 2) being serious. In his tafsir, he also stated that the types of jihads are 1) jihad against lust, 2) jihad against demons, 3) jihad against infidels, 4) jihad against polytheists, and 5) jihad against hypocrites. The deradicalization process of the Islamic boarding school community can be done by enlightening the exclusive meaning of jihad that the meaning of jihad is only a matter of war to a more inclusive and plural meaning of jihads. Impact: This research provides views on deradicalization efforts for the Islamic boarding school community based on a more inclusive meaning of the verse on the theme of jihad.
