Abstract

Tolerance is a rational, practical, and highly recommended practice in Islamic teachings. This study aspires to identify tolerance levels through shura practiced by Islamic Education Teachers (IET) across all national primary schools in Peninsular Malaysia. This study was conducted entirely using quantitative approach. A survey along with a five-point Likert scale questionnaire was distributed to 433 respondents in 4 different zones representing the state of Kedah (north zone), Kelantan (east zone), Selangor (central zone) and Johor (south zone). The results showed that the (IETs) tolerance level through shura is at high value (min = 4.39 and sd = 0.383). The contribution of this study is to boost the comprehension of openness through a more dynamic shura towards educators because of its capacity to promote positive shift in any school management activities.

Highlights

Tolerance is one of the mechanisms of founding a civilized, interpersonal space of interaction between people of different faiths, beliefs, and views (Agius & Ambrosewicz 2003)

Summary

Introduction

Tolerance is one of the mechanisms of founding a civilized, interpersonal space of interaction between people of different faiths, beliefs, and views (Agius & Ambrosewicz 2003). Tolerance is a reciprocal process between two or more perspectives. (2018), a difference in thought, behaviour and tastes is one of the realities of human life which is rooted in the nature of man’s creation. Shura is a platform where every member of the organization engages harmoniously to make an impactful and accurate decision. The employment of shura is difficult to attain if the tolerance constituent has been disregarded. From the Islamic outlook, tolerance can be elucidated as the attitude and noble character implemented within the society for the goal of respecting each other within the specific limits presented in Islam (Ade, 2016)
