- Abstract
One of the problems of religious education in the post-truth era is how religion is internalized and actualized, therefore the character formed is divine. This is a classic problem that religion, in addition to being a savior and liberator, is also often misunderstood to be a different order to fight and destroy those who are different. India is an illustration of a country with a high risk of religious conflict. But amid the complexity of the conflict, a peace figure emerged, Maulana Wahiduddin Khan. Khan’s peaceful personality did not appear from a vacuum, there was a long process in its formation. By reflecting on Khan’s way of life, it is expected to be able to take values to contribute to peace education, especially in building divine character. Using Lacan’s psychoanalytic analysis as the way, this study attempts to portray how peaceful individuals are transformed. The results of the study show that Khan underwent two transformations, first, the moment of Ad-Dhuha, as a sign of escaping from agnosticism toward faith in kaffah. Second, the departure from the Jamaah Islamiah, the Tablighi Jamaat, established his own movement. Khan’s transformation process did not run without issues; there were intrapsychological and interpsychological struggles to be able to achieve a peaceful individual. An important aspect of the results of this research is how teachers can become transformative facilitators who assist their students reach maturity in knowledge, spirituality, and divine character.
