Abstract

This study wanted to find the practice of inculcating religious tolerance in Islamic educational institutions like ^Pesantren^. As a sample are four major pesantren in Indonesia, among others- Pesantren Sumatra Thawalib Parabek Bukit Tinggi, Pesantren al-Amin Madura, Pesantren An-Nuqayah Madura, and Pesantren Lirboyo Kediri. This educational institution has graduated thousands of alumni who then mingle and contribute to the development of Indonesian society. The teachings of tolerance received at pesantren will certainly be implemented in the midst of Indonesian society in various fields of student life. The focus of this research is how tolerance values are taught at Pesantren in Indonesia? In addition to collecting data by observation and interview, this research was also strengthened with a questionnaire. This study concludes that the planting of tolerance in pesantren is carried out by habituation of tolerant ethics as exemplified by the Kyai and religious teacher at the pesantren. Likewise, many subjects in pesantren support the growth of a tolerant and pluralist spirit that can be directly absorbed by the students.
