Abstrak: Menjamurnya fenomena Islamofobia di seluruh penjuru dunia, termasuk Indonesia, dapat menyebabkan lunturnya citra Islam yang ramah di mata dunia. Perlu adanya upaya untuk menangkal virus Islamofobia dalam menciptakan perdamaian dan keutuhan suatu bangsa. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menghadirkan berbagai upaya pendidikan untuk menangkal virus Islamofobia dalam mengukuhkan sikap nasionalisme dan spiritualiasme bangsa Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui metode analisis deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa salah satu penyebab lahirnya Islamofobia ialah dangkalnya akidah Islam.

Melalui kesadaran ini lah, manusia akan senantiasa menjalin komunikasi yang harmonis dengan sesama makhluk Allah untuk menciptakan kehidupan yang damai, aman dan sejahtera dengan memperhatikan prinsip ukhuwah Islamiyyah, ukhuwah wathaniyyah dan ukhuwah basyariyyah.
