Abstract

Islamic Spirituality (Rohis) is one of the extracurricular organizations in public high schools in general, which is an institution that helps Islamic religion teachers understand Islamic teachings for their students. The spiritual activities took the public by surprise, because they were suspected of being exposed to radical ideologies. This study aims to determine the formation of an understanding of religious tolerance among spiritualists in Surakarta City High School, as well as the practice of religious tolerance among spiritualists in Surakarta City High School. This type of research is qualitative, while data collection is through interviews, observations, and literature studies sourced from journals, books, and online media. Research informants are spiritual leaders and administrators at SMAN 4, SMAN 7, SMAN 8. This study found: First, the presence of several Islamic organizations in Surakarta does not necessarily affect the religious characteristics of spiritual activists. From various religious styles, it looks like Nahdhatul Ulama, Muhammadiyah, the Qur’an interpretation council. Second, from the various patterns of religious affiliation, some spiritual activists have different views on several things, such as local traditions, wishing people of other religions happy holidays, listening to music, and electing regional heads of different religions. Even though there are differences in religious understanding and belief, spiritual activists still uphold tolerance. This is shown by the mutual respect and respect between them. Because in Surakarta the majority of the population is Muslim, from moderate Islam to Islam which is given a hard-line stigma, it can be said, however, that some spiritual activists at SMA Surakarta are more towards deepening the religion of students who are moderate Muslims, and if they are related in activities with students of other religions, coordinated by the student council.
