Exploring Islamic Pedagogical Approaches to Countering Radicalism within Muslim Communities

The research subject is the methods of Islamic pedagogy, promising to solve urgent problems of preventing radicalism in a religious environment. Islamic pedagogy is based on the moral values of religion and, over millennia, has proven its effectiveness in shaping an individual's humanistic worldview, excluding adherence to violent methods for carrying out social and other transformations. In this regard, the methods of education and upbringing used to internalize the values of religious morality, which are designed to become the basis of a young Muslim's worldview, come to the fore. We are talking about active teaching methods based on the interaction of a teacher and students, which are traditional for the Islamic pedagogical system. They have been used for centuries to develop the spiritual and moral sphere of the personality of students of religious and educational organizations, to form value orientations and models of social thinking and behavior based on humanism, striving for the public good for all members of society, regardless of their national and religious affiliation. The primary research method is a case study of teaching methods adopted in Islamic pedagogy from the point of view of the prospects for their application in the prevention of radicalism in a religious environment. The study's main conclusions are, firstly, the need for systematic application in Muslim religious organizations (mosques) of active teaching methods that are promising in influencing the spiritual and moral sphere of youth personality and the prevention of radicalism. This is determined by the fact that modern religious organizations are called upon to solve a number of social functions and work with a youth audience to promote the harmonious development and socialization of the individual based on traditional values. Secondly, it is necessary to create specialized professional development and retraining programs for Muslim religious figures and teachers to develop the methodological competencies that allow them to solve urgent socio-educational, cultural, educational, and educational tasks. Thirdly, it is necessary to create interactive platforms for interaction and exchange of experience of religious figures working with young people aimed at comprehensively developing the spiritual and moral sphere of personality and preventing radicalism.
