Introduction
Indonesia is a pluralistic country, meaning that the Indonesian people are different, both from ethnicity, culture, and religion are not the same as one another.
From the western end (Sabang) to the eastern end (Merauke) there are more than 1,128 ethnic groups living with their respective customs and culture). 1 The number of ethnic groups, races and religions in Indonesia cannot be denied that many conflicts have occurred. However, Pancasila has taught how to tolerate diversity in society, so that a community does not fight and respect each other's differences. That is the core point of the meaning of Pancasila about diversity which has not been widely absorbed, let alone implemented by each individual Indonesian citizen in his daily life. Pluralism is not just living side by side without caring about other people. It requires real bonding, cooperation, and work. The deepest bonds of commitment and the most fundamental differences in creating a community together are the main elements of pluralism. 2 Indonesian society which is classified as plural or can also be called plural, has a very strong energy as cultural and social capital, namely the diversity of beliefs, religions, customs, and different languages which will bind community groups to unite against the invaders. The strong desire to unite in achieving common goals is based on the diversity of the Indonesian nation itself. It is necessary to see the diversity of Indonesian society as something fluid that aims to be just, prosperous and dignified for every citizen. Here means there are situational and contextual needs that must be updated from time to time. 3 The effect of upholding diversity will establish close relationships between groups, regardless of what or who. Life will be peaceful without being based on hostility, so that the Indonesian people will be far more peaceful than when commotion arises that cause harm to themselves and others.
Education is one of the capital to achieve prosperity, there is deviant behavior due to a lack of education for a child, especially adolescents who are highly recommended to get proper education for themselves. One of the most important factors for society is getting education, whether or not the quality of the community depends on the education received by people in a country. Harahap and Perkatja argue that education is an effort that is consciously or deliberately by parents so that moral responsibility arises from all the actions of the child. 4 Prophet Muhammad SAW brought Islam to teach his people to have a balanced attitude. Balanced in the sense of paying attention to the needs of life in the world and the needs of life in the hereafter, not forgetting the past even though its 2 Nurhafid Ishari, "Pluralisme Agama di Sekolah; Studi Implementasi Kurikulum 2013 pada Mata Pelajaran Pendidikan Islam di Sekolah Menengah".

Islamic Education

Madrasah Qudsiyyah at the MI level has a preparatory class called the sifir class, where the teachers and students are all male. This class is intended for students aged between 4-6 years. Geographically, the sifir class is located in the vicinity of the Menara Kudus Mosque. Besides as a very religious place, the mosque environment is also adjacent to the tomb of Sunan Kudus. The mosque environment as a place of choice certainly has certain goals and objectives. The teacher who teaches at the madrasa said that he chose a place for teaching and learning around Kudus Tower with the hope that from an early age the students can know the mosque from the building and its contents. The mosque is the center of religious activities for Muslims, so it indirectly introduces students to religious activities that take place in the mosque. One day the students will see people who are doing ablution, praying. The students hear the sound of the call prayer when the dluhur prayer arrives. They will also see people who are reading the al-Qur'an and people who are perform I'tikaf worship. In addition, there are still many activities in the mosque that can be seen by students as education indirectly, because the teacher does not teach them, but it is the environment that shapes the students character. 27
