<![CDATA[Today boarding schools (Pesantrens) are faced with issues of orthodoxy and liberation in religious thought. The thought of orthodoxy in boarding schools appears on attitude to literalism, dogmatism, normativism, sacrifaction, and etc. This can be seen from the dogma that âbelievedâ by the pesantren community that what is on the yellow holy books is something that must be followed and believed. Yellow holy Book is considered sacred and should not be criticized. In addition, boarding schools are also faced with the challenge of the Liberal Islam, by bringing forward ratios and interpret religious texts in context. Doing the reading strategies of the religious text itself for continuity to make the production of new meanings that are relevant to contemporary conditions. From the womb of liberal Islamic thought is then born the terms of Islamic rational, Islam is an inclusive, pluralist Islam, Islam is tolerant and such. Here, there are two things that can be used as a portrait of a way of thinking students in developing their religious thought. First, the empowerment of reason in developing a religious paradigm. Reason, which, according to Mohammed al-Jabiri Abied as a means of growth and development of the Contemporary Arab civilization, as well as Islam. This method is more advanced logic in the view of religious issues. Second, accepting differences of opinion in matters that are Furu â(branch). This attitude is not a new thing, because Islamic scholars (scholars) used to the differences of opinion and polemic between them. Even Imam Shaï¬ âi admitted that his opinions are believed to be true, did not rule contain an error. Likewise, other peopleâs opinions, did not rule contains the truth.
