Abstract

<p>The survey results on the intolerance of religion teachers in Indonesia signaled the need for the formulation of a more peaceful and tolerant Islamic theological education. This paper reads Ricoeur’s hermeneutics on Tariq Ramadan’s thoughts in formulating the tolerant Islamic education theology. There are three aspects of theology proposed by Tariq Ramadan, namely (1) educational activities are at the heart of Islamic theology, there is no faith without understanding and no understanding without education; (2) education is oriented to encourage individuals to gain religious experience that bears a commitment to participate in creating justice and social achievement; and (3) religious experience resulted from the education is transformed for the benefit of people through the implementation of education and tolerant dakwah (Islamic teachings). </p>

Summary

Introduction

Most of the teachers in Indonesia have intolerant and radical tendency which can influence intolerance trend among the youth according to the PPIM (Center for the Study of Islam and Society) UIN Jakarta survey (through Convey Indonesia project) (PPIM, 2018). The two orientations of Muslim identity are described by March as “faithful to their constitutional systems, yet insists that this can be done without adopting a diluted, ‘‘liberal Islam’’ in matters of social and personal morality” (March, 2007) This thought of Tariq Ramadan will be the basis of the formulation of a tolerant Islamic Education theology. These thoughts of Tariq Ramadan’s reflect the awareness of the necessity of being tolerant in a multicultural society as well as upholding one’s identity as a believer. To answer those three problems, this research uses Paul Ricoeur’s hermeneutics: prefiguration, configuration and transfiguration (Haryatmoko, 2000)
