Program PKUB dalam meningkatkan kerukunan beragama berbasis program berkelanjutan (QS. Al-Hujurat:13)

Abstract

This study examines the concept of ta’aruf in the perspective of QS. Al-Hujurat verse 13 as a theological foundation for building interreligious harmony in Indonesia. The main issue addressed is the limitation of current harmony-building models, which tend to be event-based, resulting in interreligious relations that are not sustainable and remain at the level of momentary encounters. In contrast, a plural society requires not only formal tolerance but also the development of stable, collaborative, and continuous social relations. This research employs a qualitative approach using the thematic exegesis method (tafsir mawdhu’i) to interpret the concept of ta’aruf in QS. Al-Hujurat:13 through a synthesis of classical and contemporary Qur’anic interpretations, including Ibn ‘Ashur, Fakhr al-Din al-Razi, Sayyid Qutb, and M. Quraish Shihab. The findings indicate that ta’aruf is not merely a cognitive process of mutual acquaintance, but a reciprocal, continuous relational process oriented toward social collaboration (ta’awun). Based on these findings, this study proposes the Sustainable Ta’aruf Model as a conceptual framework that integrates the experience of diversity and collaborative relations. This model is expected to serve as both a theological and practical contribution to strengthening interreligious harmony in Indonesia.
