Abstract

This study aims to examine how religious moderation is understood, developed, and strengthened among students of Islamic Education in an Islamic higher education context. In recent years, religious moderation has become a crucial societal issue amid rising polarization, radical narratives, and identity-based tensions within multicultural societies. Islamic universities are therefore challenged to translate normative discourses of moderation into lived educational practices that shape students’ cognition, attitudes, and behavior. This qualitative study employed a phenomenological approach, using in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. Data were analyzed through data condensation, display, and verification to capture the essence of participants’ lived experiences. The findings reveal that students conceptualize religious moderation as a balanced integration of national commitment, respect for diversity, anti-violent principles, and openness to local culture. Academic factors, including curriculum integration, reflective pedagogy, and lecturers’ role modeling, significantly influence the internalization of moderation values. Non-academic activities such as interfaith dialogue, mentoring, community service, and pesantren-based programs further reinforce these values. Institutionally, structured courses, competent lecturers, and praxis-oriented strategies function as preventive mechanisms against radicalism. This study contributes theoretically by framing religious moderation as lived practice rather than mere doctrine and recommends strengthening integrative, context-sensitive strategies in Islamic higher education.

Abstract

This research examines the neurocognitive and psychological effects of Tajwid al-Qur'an, the combined practice of  Tajwid (Precise Recitation) and Tadabbur (Deep Contemplation), through a systematic review of neuroscience research. The findings demonstrate that Qur’anic recitation enhances brain function by increasing Alpha Waves (Associated with Relaxation) and Delta Waves (Linked to Deep Focus), while improving memory, emotional regulation, and neural connectivity. Contemplative reflection activates Pre-Frontal Cortex (PFC) functions, boosting critical thinking and spiritual awareness while significantly reducing stress biomarkers. The synergy of these practices provides empirical evidence for the Islamic concept of Qalb (Heart-Mind) as a trainable cognitive-emotional system. These results position Tajwid as both a spiritual practice and evidence-based cognitive therapy, offering groundbreaking insights for Islamic psychology, Qur’anic education methodologies, and spiritually-integrated mental health interventions. The research bridges traditional Islamic knowledge with contemporary neuroscience, suggesting practical applications for enhancing both religious and cognitive development. [Penelitian ini mengkaji efek neurokognitif dan psikologis dari Tajwid al-Qur'an, yaitu praktik gabungan antara Tajwid (Pembacaan yang Tepat) dan Tadabbur (Kontemplasi Mendalam), melalui tinjauan sistematis penelitian neurosains. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembacaan al-Qur'an meningkatkan fungsi otak dengan meningkatkan Gelombang Alpha (Terkait dengan Relaksasi) dan Gelombang Delta (Terkait dengan Fokus Mendalam), sekaligus memperbaiki memori, regulasi emosi, dan konektivitas neural. Refleksi kontemplatif mengaktifkan fungsi Pre-Frontal Cortex (PFC), meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kritis dan kesadaran spiritual dan pada saat yang bersamaan, secara signifikan mengurangi biomarker stres. Sinergi dari praktik-praktik ini memberikan bukti empiris terhadap konsep Islam tentang Qalb (Hati-Pikiran) sebagai sistem kognitif emosional yang dapat dilatih. Hasil penelitian ini menempatkan Tajwi@d tidak hanya sebagai praktik spiritual tetapi juga terapi kognitif berbasis bukti, yang menawarkan wawasan revolusioner untuk psikologi Islam, metodologi pendidikan al-Qur'an, dan intervensi kesehatan mental yang terintegrasi spiritual. Penelitian ini menjembatani pengetahuan Islam tradisional dengan neurosains kontemporer, serta menyarankan aplikasi praktis untuk meningkatkan perkembangan religius dan kognitif.]  Keywords: Tarti@l, Qur’an, Tajwi@d, Tadabbur, Neurocognitive
