Abstract

The values of Islamic peace play a crucial role in shaping a peaceful and tolerant society. However, challenges remain in the comprehensive application of these values within the education system. This study aims to explore the role of education in strengthening Islamic peace values that emphasize tolerance, compassion, and harmony through a qualitative descriptive approach using literature review techniques. Data sources include secondary sources such as academic journals, books, reports, and reputable internet sites. The findings indicate a gap in educational access, especially in rural or underdeveloped areas, which hinders the optimal implementation of Islamic peace values. Additionally, issues of school dropouts and challenges in religious moderation complicate efforts to build a society that values peace. This study asserts that improving access to quality education and incorporating religious moderation into curricula are essential for creating a peaceful society. Sustainable and inclusive education policies are urgently needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to quality education, peace, justice, and strong institutions.

Keywords
