Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pertama, Pesantren Tarekat konsisten menghidupkan tradisi intelektual Islam khas Indonesia yakni melaksanakan dan mengembangkan kurikulum pendidikan Islam berbasis mazhab Syafi’i dan berteologi Asy’ari-Maturidi, yang bersumber dari kitab kuning. Kedua, kyai atau mursyid berperan besar terhadap keberhasilan pendidikan di pesantren sekaligus membangun sikap moderasi beragama. Ketiga, Pesantren Tarekat berperan atas munculnya pesantren atau lembaga pendidikan baru yang didirikan dan dikembangkan oleh para alumninya. Keempat, Pesantren Tarekat berperan dalam wacana moderasi beragama karena konsisten mengajarkan nilai-nilai etika Islam yang menjaga dan membentengi para santri dari pemahaman agama yang menyimpang.
