Abstract

Multiculturalism is an issue that is always actual and interesting. It is seen as actual because it involves the diversity that will always exist in the reality of human life. And it is also considered interesting because some conflicts that occurred in social life are the result of an effort to disclaim diversity. The pesantren world, which since its inception in the archipelago is an institution that is very close to the issue of multiculturalism, later also had become a lively discussion due to the emergence of a diversity of pesantren with diverse religious understandings, as a result of the massive transnational Islamic Movement entering the entire archipelago. This presented study is qualitative field study of study of Suni Darussalam pesantren in Sleman Yogyakarta. It aims to provided enriching information on multiculturalism discourse of pesantren, also to showed how the views of Islamic boarding school clerics in the modernization era, disruptive era, which is full of globalization of various values and ideologies. The results of the study showed that: first, Kyai in pesantren Suni Darussalam understands multiculturalism as an attitude to acknowledge and accept differences, but not necessarily dissolve in the views of others, but individuals should have strong beliefs with their own views. Second, the actualization of the Kyai’s multiculturalism views were reflected in his attitude and behavior such as having open-minded responses to differences, showing the diversity of views of the students and the community, and showing them about the views they hold. Actualization of the kyai’s multiculturalism attitude was also shown from his attitude which prefers to prioritize the moral approach in preaching he does, rather than highlighting differences (ikhtilaf) to realize social harmony.
