Abstract

Sexual violence in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) is a critical issue that demands an in-depth study, given that pesantren, as religious-based educational institutions, should serve as safe spaces oriented toward the moral development of students (santri). This study aims to examine the phenomenon of sexual violence in pesantren, explore relevant Quranic values in constructing a protection system, and formulate effective prevention strategies. The research employs a qualitative approach with normative analysis, literature review of Quranic exegesis, and analysis of Quranic verses using Jürgen Habermas’ critical hermeneutics theory. The findings reveal that the Quran provides a strong ethical foundation through five key principles: protection of honor and dignity, justice, compassion and empathy, respect for individual rights, and the collective duty to prevent wrongdoing. Applying Habermas' critical hermeneutics demonstrates that these verses hold not only normative significance but also transformative potential in fostering critical awareness and collective social action. This analysis underscores that preventing sexual violence must be both structural and cultural, involving educational system reforms, institutional regulatory strengthening, and the internalization of Islamic values to build collective consciousness. Thus, this study asserts that the prevention of sexual violence in pesantren is not merely a moral and religious obligation but also an institutional responsibility that must be realized through an equitable education system based on Quranic values.

Review

The article, "MENDAMAIKAN IMAN DAN KEADILAN: MENGINTERPRETASI ULANG AJARAN AL-QUR'AN UNTUK MEMERANGI PELECEHAN SEKSUAL DI PONDOK PESANTREN" (Reconciling Faith and Justice: Reinterpreting Quranic Teachings to Combat Sexual Violence in Islamic Boarding Schools), addresses an exceptionally critical and timely issue within the context of religious educational institutions. The stated aim to examine sexual violence in pesantren, explore relevant Quranic values for protection, and formulate prevention strategies is highly pertinent. The chosen qualitative research approach, integrating normative analysis, extensive literature review of Quranic exegesis, and a theoretically sophisticated application of Jürgen Habermas’ critical hermeneutics, offers a promising framework for a nuanced and deeply analytical study. The study's primary contribution lies in its rigorous interpretation of the Quran, identifying five robust ethical principles directly applicable to combating sexual violence: protection of honor and dignity, justice, compassion and empathy, respect for individual rights, and the collective duty to prevent wrongdoing. The innovative use of Habermas' critical hermeneutics is particularly noteworthy, moving beyond a purely theological understanding to uncover the transformative potential of these verses. This approach effectively demonstrates how traditional religious texts can be re-engaged to foster critical awareness and galvanize collective social action, thereby providing a powerful intellectual foundation for addressing contemporary social injustices within religious communities. The findings underscore a crucial message: effective prevention of sexual violence in pesantren necessitates a multi-faceted approach encompassing both structural and cultural reforms. This includes explicit calls for educational system reforms, strengthening institutional regulations, and a deeper internalization of Islamic values to cultivate a collective consciousness against such abuses. Ultimately, the paper strongly argues that preventing sexual violence is not merely a moral or religious imperative, but a fundamental institutional responsibility demanding an equitable education system rooted in these reinterpreted Quranic values. This comprehensive perspective offers valuable insights for both scholars of Islamic studies and practitioners working to safeguard students in religious educational settings.
