Abstract

The concept of religious moderation has been widely promoted by the Ministry of Religious Affairs, but it has not fully reached pesantren, potentially leading to conflicts. This article aims to uncover the various meanings of moderation among the Santri and to examine the epistemological framework derived from the kitab kuning (classical Islamic texts). The exegesis-phenomenology method was used by asking the Santri for their views on religious moderation and confirming their behaviors to understand the sources and methods of their knowledge. The findings show that the meaning of religious moderation in pesantren is natural-adaptive, and its epistemology is characterized as Bayani-cognitive. This article contributes theoretically to understanding the various meanings of moderation in pesantren and practically to policy-making for the widespread dissemination of religious moderation in religious institutions.Gagasan moderasi beragama telah disebarkan secara luas oleh Kementerian Agama, namun belum sepenuhnya mencapai pesantren, ini berpotensi menimbulkan konflik. Artikel ini bertujuan mengungkap varian makna moderasi di kalangan santri dan meneliti bangunan epistemologi yang bersumber dari kitab kuning. Metode exegesis-fenomenologi digunakan dengan meminta pandangan santri tentang moderasi beragama dan mengkonfirmasi perilaku mereka untuk mengetahui sumber dan metode pengetahuan mereka. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa makna moderasi beragama di pesantren bersifat natural-adaptif dan epistemologinya bercorak bayani-kognitif. Artikel ini berkontribusi secara teoritis dalam memahami varian makna moderasi di pesantren dan secara praktis bagi kebijakan penyebaran moderasi beragama di lembaga keagamaan.

Abstract

The problem of social inequality reflects inequality in power relations, distribution of resources, and ideological legitimacy, which are often wrapped in religious narratives. In fact, the Qur'an contains fundamental values such as justice, solidarity, equality, and defense of the oppressed (mustaḍ‘afīn). This article aims to re-examine in depth the approach of social interpretation of the Qur'an in responding to issues of socioeconomic inequality and to reveal the role of the Qur'an in defending social inequality. The research includes a literature study with a critical hermeneutic approach in reading social verses in interpretations that are in accordance with the characteristics of interpretation. The primary source refers to verses of the Qur'an relating to the principle of economic justice, and some other related literature as secondary sources. This article argues that the social verses of the Qur’an are grounded in the principles of justice (al-‘adl), compassion (raḥmah), and egalitarianism (musāwah). These spirits are in line with social interpretation based on a critical hermeneutical framework that connects the text, context, and social reality. The findings reveal that social exegesis not only interprets the text normatively but also presents it as a tool for social criticism against entrenched structures of injustice. This exegesis promotes the formation of transformative ethics that favour marginalised groups. This research opens up a space for dialogue between religious texts and the practice of social justice in the context of contemporary Muslim society, and expands the horizon of exegesis as a tool for social change.
