Peran Pendidikan Agama Islam dalam mencegah Radikalisasi di kalangan remaja melalui pendekatan edukatif dan preventif

Abstract

Radicalization among teenagers is a serious challenge that can threaten social stability and national security. Islamic religious education plays a strategic role in preventing radicalization through educational and preventive approaches. The educational approach involves instilling moderate, tolerant, and rahmatan lil ‘alamin Islamic values in school curricula and community settings. Meanwhile, the preventive approach focuses on character development, enhancing digital literacy to counter extremist propaganda, and actively involving teachers, parents, and religious leaders in guiding teenagers. By combining these approaches, Islamic religious education serves as a key defense in shaping critical, inclusive, and balanced mindsets among teenagers, preventing them from being easily influenced by radical ideologies
