Abstract
Religious radicalism remains a significant challenge in Indonesia, where extremism is rooted in a profound misunderstanding of diversity. Pesantren Tremas employs multicultural education to combat radicalism by integrating inclusive Islamic values into its curriculum. This study analyzes how Pesantren Tremas integrates Islamic education with multicultural values to promote tolerance and inclusivity. This research employs a qualitative case study method at Pesantren Tremas, gathering data through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate that the multicultural education strategies at Pesantren Tremas, which include teaching ta’aruf, tasamuh, and the values of ta’awun, are effective efforts to counter radicalism by fostering tolerance and cooperation among students from diverse backgrounds. These strategies involve collaborative projects and group discussions integrating Islamic teachings into social activities, preparing students to manage cultural and religious conflicts and contribute constructively to an inclusive society.
