Abstract

Religious moderation is a vital foundation for maintaining social harmony in Aceh, particularly among Muslim converts who often struggle with religious and social adaptation. This study aims to describe how converts understand and practice moderation, to explore mentoring strategies carried out by the Aceh Da’wah Council (DDA) through a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, and to assess the changes in attitudes and social interactions that occurred during the program. The mentoring program was implemented over eight weeks (October–December 2024) with 35 participants, including DDA leaders and converts from different districts. Activities were organized into three stages: education and socialization, focus group discussions, and monitoring and evaluation. Data were collected through FGDs, semi-structured interviews, and participant observation, then analyzed qualitatively through data organization, coding, summarizing, and interpretation, with triangulation and member checking applied to strengthen credibility. The study found clear improvements in both the understanding and practice of religious moderation values. Converts demonstrated greater openness, respect for diversity, avoidance of extreme attitudes, and more active participation in community life. At the same time, the program reinforced the institutional role of the DDA, enhancing its capacity to provide sustained guidance for converts. The PAR approach proved relevant for fostering moderate religious attitudes among Muslim converts in Aceh by integrating Indonesia’s nine values of moderation into daily practice. While limited to the DDA setting, the study offers evidence that community-based mentoring can serve as a practical model for religious institutions and policymakers seeking to strengthen moderation and social harmony in comparable contexts.

Abstract

Dayah or pesantren as a traditional Islamic educational institution that has given birth to many Acehnese scholars. The existence and number of dayah in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam is increasing. However, the fact is not balanced with innovations in learning methods, especially interpretation learning. This study aims to provide a detailed picture related to tafsir learning in Dayah Aceh. This research uses qualitative methods with a library research approach. Based on the results of the study, it was found, among others, that the learning of interpretation of most of Dayah Aceh uses the qodim (non-classical) system so that the role of students is limited. The existence of this phenomenon requires the reconstruction of interpretive learning in Dayah Aceh through the use of discovery or inquiry-discovery learning strategies; mastery of learning strategies; Unit Learning Strategies and Reception Learning Strategies

Abstract

The implementation of Islamic law in Aceh is not only aimed at maintaining social order but also at shaping empathetic character among the community. However, specific aspects related to the development of empathy have not received sufficient attention in previous research, which mostly focused on rule enforcement and sanctions. This study aims to explore the role of Islamic law in fostering an empathetic character in Aceh society. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach involving in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis. The results show that the implementation of Islamic law in Aceh is effective not only in maintaining order but also in significantly shaping the empathetic character of the community. Social activities such as zakat and mutual assistance serve as effective means to foster care and solidarity among the people. This study concludes that Islamic law in Aceh has a strong social dimension and can create a more harmonious community that is empathetic and sensitive to the needs of others. The contribution of this study is to provide a deeper understanding of the social dimension of Islamic law, particularly in fostering empathetic character, which has not been widely addressed in previous studies.
