The world faces a multidimensional crisis, with cultural, ethnic, racial, linguistic, and ethnic diversity giving rise to various issues. Wars in different parts of the world continue to result in bloody events and casualties. Preventive efforts are needed to address these problems, including promoting a culture of tolerance. Mohammed Arkoun was a figure and philosopher of pluralism who advocated and conveyed ideas about pluralism. The weaknesses of classical Islamic theological thinking become apparent when confronted with the empirical social reality of human life that continues to evolve with the advancement of science and technology. Mohammed Arkoun, an intellectual fNrom Algeria, attempted to comprehensively reinterpret the framework of Islamic thought, including aspects such as theology (kalam), Sufism, jurisprudence (fiqh), ethics, and exegesis (tafsir). Mohammed Arkoun expressed that Islam can succeed if Muslims adopt an open attitude toward pluralistic thinking, as during the early Islamic period and the Middle Ages. This pluralism can be realized if religious understanding is based on human values, allowing Muslims to interact with anyone. This research uses a qualitative method with a literature review study type, gathering data from various references, books, and articles related to Mohammed Arkoun's magnum opus: the study of cultural tolerance resilience amid pluralism. According to Arkoun, debates based on cultural diversity, thought, and theology in classical Islam lead to profound interpretations of the Quran and laws based on sacred texts.

This study aims to describe the manifestation of piety constructed by women who are members of the Muslimah Ummahat Sholihah Community. Also, to analyze the level of their religious behavior. This research is a qualitative descriptive study that emphasizes field research. Researchers used observation techniques, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation to collect data. It turns out that the manifestation of women's piety is manifested by being obedient to the commands of Allah and His Messenger through the intermediary of teachers, covering their genitals and wearing the hijab, obeying their husbands, balancing ritual worship with social activities, and participating in religious activities. Meanwhile, the level of religious behavior of members of the Muslimah Ummahat Sholihah Community based on the results of the distribution of the questionnaire is categorized as high. Thus, the symbol of piety that they carry has absolutely nothing to do with conservatism, even radicalism, as some observers have alleged.

The informant technique was carried out using a purposive sampling technique conducted by the head of the BMA (Customary Consultative Board) of Mukomuko district. The results of the study found that the philosophy of adat besandi syarak, syarak besandi kitabuallah, has two meanings, namely: first, adat bersandi syarak means customs that are by Islamic sharia and do not contradict the teachings of Islam, Sharak besandi Kitabullah means sharia sourced from kitabullah (Quran and hadith). Among the existing educational philosophy, values including Honesty and a clean heart are the characteristics of the leadership of Rasulullah SAW.

He needs patience and should not be arrogant. Every Mukomuko community is a brother who is attached, and a strong brotherhood symbolizes kinship, and strong kinship is evidenced by the brotherhood between indigenous people who are bound together.

This study intends to raise two main issues, namely about the role and learning strategies of Islamic Religious Education in preventing the spread of caliphate ideology in SMA Negeri 1 Wonosobo. Using a qualitative-descriptive method, the researcher collected data through observation and interviews. This study yielded findings: In preventing the spread of the caliphate in SMA Negeri 1 Wonosobo, Islamic education learning has a significant and strategic role. Because through PAI, learning Islamic understanding and values can be instilled. Even so, the role of PAI learning cannot be separated from the role of the PAI teacher himself. The PAI learning strategy for preventing Khilafah in SMA Negeri 1 Wonosobo has been carried out through planned steps and has become part of the curriculum. The strategy is carried out through learning in and outside the classroom. Although there is no specific material on the caliphate, the teacher considers that preventing the spread of the caliphate is part of the hidden curriculum. PAI learning outside the classroom in preventing the spread of the ideology of the caliphate is carried out through several activities, namely: Formation of an Islamic Study Group, publication of the Al-Hikmah Journal, Commemoration of the Isra' Mi'raj, Commemoration of the Prophet Muhammad's Birthday, Friday sermon pulpit, Hari Raya Ceremony Santri, Seminar on religious moderation.

This study aims to ascertain the impact of the Active learning method on high-order thinking skills (HOTS) within the realm of Islamic education. Our primary contribution is the comprehensive meta-analysis of various preliminary and university educational studies. Using RStudio, we analyzed the differences in effect sizes, variations, and groups among studies. The findings indicate that the Active learning method significantly enhances HOTS, with the mixed learning method showing the most pronounced effect. We adopted a systematic approach, examining diverse learning methods like genre-based learning and blended learning model. Our research design entailed a meticulous meta-analysis of pre-existing literature rather than primary experimental or survey-based methods. However, we identified high heterogeneity in effect sizes as a limitation, suggesting the need for more nuanced studies in varied contexts. This research underscores educators' need to adapt learning strategies suited for specific educational levels, pointing towards a brighter horizon for tailored pedagogical interventions.

We have nowadays witnessed a growing trend of the rising of radical religious thoughts amongst Muslims. They are fanatical people who claim to have correctly understood Islam more than others. Even they blame others who do not follow their way as unbelievers. How do such radical views rise? And how can such views be de-radicalized? Radical views initially come out and gradually develop because of exclusive religious outlooks. Since outward attitudes reflect one’s deep mind and worldview, one best way to soften radicalism should begin from de-radicalization of one’s ideology and way of thinking. There should be transformation of Islamic religious thoughts from particularistic to rational-imperative, from exclusive to inclusive, from formalistic to perennial, from mono-cultural to multicultural. De-radicalization needs participation from the government, people and academia. Furthermore, de-radicalization must be a context-based effort, paying great attention to socio-historical contexts where this effort is formulated to avoid rising another form of radicalism.Keywords: de-radicalization, exclusive, perennial, multiculturalism
