The Influence of Understanding Surah Al-Hujurat Verse 13 on the Tolerance Attitudes of Grade XI.10 Students at SMAN 1 Sumedang

Abstract

This study is motivated by the low level of tolerance among students, as evidenced by a lack of respect for differences, the emergence of prejudice, and a tendency toward exclusivity in school social interactions. This condition indicates that the understanding of Quranic values, particularly Surah Al-Hujurat verse 13, has not been fully implemented in students' social lives. Therefore, this study aims to determine the level of understanding of Surah Al-Hujurat verse 13 among 11th-grade students (Class XI.10) at SMAN 1 Sumedang, assess their level of tolerance, and analyze the effect of understanding Quranic Surah Al-Hujurat verse 13 on students' tolerance. This study employed a quantitative approach with a causal-associative research design. The population comprised 36 students, and the entire population was selected as the sample using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire that was tested for validity and reliability, supported by observation and documentation. Data analysis techniques included descriptive statistics (percentage), normality tests, simple linear regression, Pearson Product-Moment correlation, coefficient of determination, and t-test. The results showed that the understanding of Quranic Surah Al-Hujurat verse 13 achieved a percentage of 72% (good category), while students' tolerance reached 79% (good category). Furthermore, the findings revealed a positive and significant effect of the understanding of Quranic Surah Al-Hujurat verse 13 on students' tolerance. This is demonstrated by a positive correlation coefficient value of r = 0.623, while the coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.388 or 38.8%) indicates that Quranic understanding contributes 38.8% to students' tolerance, whereas the remaining 61.2% is influenced by other factors outside the scope of this study. The t-test results yielded t_count = 4.646 with a significance value of sig. = 0.000 (p < 0.05), thus accepting Ha and rejecting H0. These findings confirm that a higher level of student understanding regarding the contents of Quranic Surah Al-Hujurat verse 13 corresponds to a higher level of student tolerance in respecting differences, avoiding prejudice, and fostering harmonious living within the school environment. In conclusion, the understanding of Quranic Surah Al-Hujurat verse 13 has a positive influence on students' tolerance; the higher the students' level of understanding of the values contained in the verse, the higher the tolerance demonstrated in their daily lives.
