Local Wisdom Pesantren as Core Value: The Of Islamic Education Rahmatan Lil'alamin; In Keeping World Peace

Abstract

At the practical level, this study aims to explain the value of local wisdom of Islamic boarding schools as
a moral fortress that is believed to be the basis (core belief and core values) for the realization of social
behavior. The portrait of pesantren education today is faced with various problems, along with the
development of a narrow religious understanding and injuring social life. Therefore, pesantren education
must be able to play its role dynamically by internalizing universal values as a shifting paradigm, so that
the existence of Islamic education really becomes rahmatan lil'alamin. Thus, in order to build Islamic
education, this study uses social construction theory regarding the dialectic between externalization,
objectivation, internalization, through externalities, how the value system is built, in accordance with
social reality and becomes something that is objective (objectivation), thus giving birth to a value system
(internalization). in the form of; compassion (mahabbah) togetherness (ijtima'iyyah), justice (‘adalah) and
brotherhood (ukhuwah) which are the main pillars of Islamic education rahmatan lil'alamin. The
internalization of the values of Islamic education rahmatan lil'alamin is expected to maintain world
harmony and peace, as well as a form of social enlightenment, not the opposite of being domestication
and social taming. Therefore, as an effort to build Islamic education rahmatan lil'alamin can be done
through several stages, including; building an inclusive awareness by transmitting the entire socio-religious
value system such as monotheism, tolerance and justice into the curriculum structure as culture
domination and control; reconstructing the paradigm of Islamic education from an indoctrination to a
participatory perspective; changing the ideological paradigm into a scientific one by allowing the
human mind to study and develop knowledge through His guidance.
