CULTIVATION OF LEADERSHIP VALUES AND RELIGIOUS MODERATION IN THE MUHAMMADIYAH STUDENT ASSOCIATION SMK MUHAMMADIYAH BLIGO

Abstract

The promotion of religious moderation has been one of the government's efforts to maintain harmony among religious communities in Indonesia. At the senior high school level, the Muhammadiyah Student Association (Ikatan Pelajar Muhammadiyah or IPM) acts as an intra-school student organization (OSIS). As an organization based on Islamic values and affiliated with Muhammadiyah, IPM strives to spread moderate Islamic values. This research uses a qualitative approach through a field case study, with data collection techniques linked to theory. The research aims to describe the implementation of leadership and religious moderation values in the IPM organization at SMK Muhammadiyah Bligo. Leadership and religious moderation values are instilled in IPM's working programs, with leadership values drawn from the qualities of the Prophet Muhammad, including shiddiq, amanah, tabligh, and fathanah, while religious moderation values encompass tawassuth, tawazun, I'tidal, tasamuh, syura, islah, aulawiyah, tathawwur wa ibtikar, and tahaddhur. The research findings indicate that instilling leadership and religious moderation values has a positive impact on students' self-identity. Therefore, it is recommended that leadership and religious moderation values be continually implemented in IPM programs and other activities at SMK Muhammdiyah Bligo Pekalongan to enhance the quality of education and develop students with better character.
