Abstract

Religious Religious moderation (wasathiyyah) has emerged as a critical discourse in responding to the challenges of globalization, religious extremism, and increasing social polarization. Although the concept has deep roots in classical Islamic scholarship, its contemporary interpretation has evolved to address modern social realities. This study aims to analyze the concept of religious moderation from the perspectives of classical and contemporary Muslim scholars, identify their similarities and differences, and examine its relevance to contemporary society. The research employs a qualitative descriptive-comparative approach through library research and qualitative content analysis of classical and contemporary Islamic literature. The collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify major patterns and conceptual relationships. The findings reveal that both classical and contemporary scholars share the same normative foundations of religious moderation, namely balance (tawazun), justice ('adl), wisdom (hikmah), and public welfare (maslahah). However, classical scholars primarily emphasize moderation as a moral and spiritual principle, while contemporary scholars expand its application to issues of pluralism, democracy, social cohesion, and the prevention of religious extremism. The study further demonstrates that contemporary interpretations of wasathiyyah represent a contextual adaptation rather than a departure from classical Islamic thought. By integrating these two perspectives, this research proposes a comprehensive framework of religious moderation that combines theological authenticity with social relevance. The findings contribute to the development of Islamic studies and provide practical implications for strengthening moderation through education, religious leadership, and public policy in multicultural societies.

Abstract

Contemporary Islamic education in madrasahs faces increasingly complex global challenges, such as cultural globalization, the rapid development of digital technology, a crisis of humanitarian values, and shifts in students’ characteristics. These challenges demand a curricular approach that goes beyond a sole focus on the cognitive and normative aspects of Islamic teachings, placing greater emphasis on character development and the reinforcement of humanitarian values. This article aims to analyze the global challenges faced by contemporary Islamic education and to examine the implementation of a love-based curriculum in madrasahs as an alternative, humanistic, and transformative educational approach. The study employs a qualitative method through library research by analyzing various scholarly literature, Islamic educational concepts, and curriculum policy documents. The findings indicate that a love-based curriculum is relevant in addressing the global challenges of Islamic education by instilling values of compassion, empathy, tolerance, religious moderation, and social concern within the learning process. The implementation of a love-based curriculum in madrasahs is expected to shape learners who possess strong faith, noble character, and a balanced sense of social and spiritual awareness. Thus, a love-based curriculum becomes a vital strategy in strengthening the role of madrasahs as Islamic educational institutions that are adaptive to global developments without losing their Islamic identity.
