Hujjah Aswaja as the Internalization of Nationalist Religious Character Value to Counter Radical Transnational Ideology in Indonesia and Germany

Abstract

Radicalism is a severe issue that affects many nations, not just Indonesia. This activity at least shows how the nation will always be connected to radical international movements. Nationalist religious principles must be internalized to stop the development of extremist understanding. Indonesia and Germany collaborated and carried out this exercise to foster a welcoming religious environment. In the face of the onslaught of western extremism, Hujjah Aswaja's training provided ideas for educating the Indonesian Islamic diaspora about religion. The community service team helped for three months during the final phase's tremendous internalization of nationalist religious character ideals. The project's results point to significant increases in wawasan kebangsaan and keagamaan levels. It is anticipated that this event will be able to stimulate nationalism to Indonesia among the diaspora now residing in Germany and will serve as a catalyst for understanding keberagaman from the perspective of Ahlussunnah Wal Jama'ah (Aswaja).

Islamic moderation in elementary school: strengthening the Aswaja Annadhliyah curriculum in preventing religious radicalism

“…Research in the last decade has explored the role of education in preventing radicalism, such as building an Islamic education curriculum with religious moderation in Islamic higher education [24], internalizing religious nationalist characters through Hujjah Aswaja in preventing radical ideology in Germany and Indonesia [25], implementing religious moderation in madrasah tsanawiyah (Islamic junior high school) through Aswaja subjects [26], deradicalization through Aswaja courses in Islamic universities [27], the work of Educational Institution Ma'arif Nahdlatul Ulama in developing Islamic education [28], a comparison of Educational Institution Ma'arif Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah educational institutions in teaching Islamic moderation [29], and the development of a religious moderation curriculum on Indonesian campuses [30]. There still needs to be more research that examines Islamic moderation through strengthening the Aswaja Annahdliyah curriculum at the Educational Institution Ma'arif Nahdlatul Ulama of Central Java, so the research to be carried out is very different from previous research.…”
