<![CDATA[Wasathiyah moderation is one of the fundamental principles of Islam that emphasizes balance, justice, and the avoidance of extremism in practicing religious teachings. This concept is firmly grounded in the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), which promote harmony between worship, social responsibilities, and the fulfillment of physical and spiritual needs. Amid contemporary educational challenges, the values of wasathiyah moderation have become increasingly important to be integrated into the Islamic Religious Education (IRE) curriculum in order to foster moderate, tolerant, and well-balanced learners. This study aims to analyze the hadith concerning balanced worship from the perspective of wasathiyah moderation and examine its relevance to the development of the Islamic Religious Education curriculum. The study employed a qualitative approach using library research. Data were collected from hadith literature, academic books, reputable national and international journal articles, and other relevant scholarly sources. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis techniques. The findings reveal that the hadith on balanced worship contains educational values such as moderation, proportionality, responsibility, and balance among spiritual, intellectual, social, and physical dimensions. These values are highly relevant to the development of the Islamic Religious Education curriculum, particularly in formulating learning objectives, selecting instructional materials, designing learning strategies, and strengthening character education. Therefore, integrating the values of wasathiyah moderation into the Islamic Religious Education curriculum can serve as an essential foundation for developing religious, moderate, and wise generations capable of responding to contemporary challenges.
