Abstract

This article discusses about the historical of dynamics of radicalism has accelerated the existence of a stigma about Islamic ideas for the society. Therefore, tarekat boarding school exists to cover Moslem's needs in religious radicalism issues. However, this study aims to establish the existence of tarekat boarding school for facing the radical issues through Islamic values by tarekat boarding school. The method used in this study is descriptive, analytical and historical as material for responding to challenges in the tarekat hierarchy and power in society. Based on the result of the research, the level of awareness of spiritualism as a material for the existence of Islam can be obtained and it can be implicated for the society. Therefore, people's needs who are in the religious radicalism environment can be stopped by spiritualism values. In the other hand, tarekat boarding school are still enthusiastic about building their existence because they refuse to be involved in radicalism.

Review

The article "Eksistensi Pesantren Tarekat di Tengah Radikalisme Beragama" (The Existence of Tarekat Islamic Boarding Schools Amidst Religious Radicalism) addresses a highly pertinent and critical issue concerning the role of traditional Islamic institutions in countering religious extremism. The abstract posits that the historical acceleration of radicalism has unfairly stigmatized Islamic ideas, creating a societal need that *Tarekat* boarding schools aim to fulfill. The study's stated objective is to establish how these institutions leverage their inherent Islamic values to confront radical ideologies, highlighting their commitment to an alternative, spiritual path that actively rejects radicalism. The core argument presented is that spiritualism cultivated by these schools can serve as a potent antidote to religious radicalism, offering a vital resource for society. The methodology described is "descriptive, analytical, and historical," which the abstract states is intended as "material for responding to challenges in the *tarekat* hierarchy and power in society." While a historical and analytical approach is well-suited to understanding the dynamics of both radicalism and traditional institutions, the abstract lacks clarity on how these methods specifically contribute to "establishing the existence" of the schools or quantifying the "level of awareness of spiritualism." There's also an ambiguous connection between "tarekat hierarchy and power" and the direct aim of facing radical issues. The abstract suggests that "results of the research" lead to obtaining "the level of awareness of spiritualism," but it's not immediately clear how a descriptive, analytical, and historical method would directly measure or demonstrate such awareness in a way that can be "implicated for the society" to stop radicalism. The potential implications of this research are significant, especially in offering a spiritual alternative to radical narratives. However, the abstract could benefit from greater precision and detail regarding the proposed mechanism by which spiritualism effectively "stops" people's needs within a radical environment. It would be valuable to understand what specific Islamic values from the *tarekat* tradition are being utilized, and how the "existence" of these *pesantren* is empirically or analytically demonstrated to be a counter-force. While the abstract strongly conveys the *tarekat* boarding schools' enthusiasm for their role in rejecting radicalism, the link between this enthusiasm, the research results, and the broader societal impact needs further elaboration to strengthen the paper's scientific rigor and persuasive power. Overall, the topic is compelling and timely, warranting further consideration, but the abstract suggests that the full paper would likely require significant clarification on its methodological application, analytical depth, and the precise articulation of its findings and implications.
