Keywords:
Introduction To Islamic Studies, Peace Education, Rahmatan Lil ‘Alamin, Global Citizenship Education, UNESCOAbstract
This article examines Introduction to Islamic Studies as a foundation for peace education by analyzing the values of rahmatan lil ‘alamin through the perspective of UNESCO’s Global Citizenship Education. The study is based on the idea that Islamic education should not only transmit religious knowledge, but also shape students’ moral awareness, tolerance, social responsibility, and commitment to peaceful coexistence. Introduction to Islamic Studies plays a strategic role because it introduces Islam comprehensively through the study of faith, sharia, ethics, and Islamic civilization. The concept of rahmatan lil ‘alamin, as stated in Qur’an Surah Al-Anbiya’ verse 107, emphasizes that Islam is a mercy for all creation. This value is highly relevant to UNESCO’s Global Citizenship Education, which aims to empower learners to take active roles locally and globally in building a more peaceful, tolerant, inclusive, secure, and sustainable world. This research uses a qualitative library research method by analyzing Qur’anic verses, Islamic studies literature, and UNESCO documents related to peace education, human rights, sustainable development, and global citizenship. The findings show that Introduction to Islamic Studies can become a foundation for peace education through the internalization of compassion, justice, tolerance, cooperation, human brotherhood, and protection of human dignity. The study concludes that Islamic Studies should be developed as a transformative course that forms students who are religiously grounded, ethically responsible, globally aware, and committed to peace
