Abstract

Religious moderation serves as a fundamental principle in the context of public service in Indonesia, where religious, cultural, and ethnic diversity demands fair, inclusive, and civilized governance. This study aims to analyze the role of religious moderation in public service policy in Indonesia, particularly in bridging the relationship between bureaucratic neutrality and social harmony within a multicultural society. To date, studies on religious moderation have largely focused on education and interfaith dialogue, while the dimensions of public policy and bureaucratic culture remain underexplored. Using a qualitative approach through policy analysis and literature review, this research examines how the values of religious moderation tawasuth (balance), tasamuh (tolerance), ‘adl (justice), and musawah (equality) can be integrated into an inclusive, fair, and ethical public service system. The findings indicate that the internalization of moderation values within public policy can strengthen governmental ethics, enhance public trust, and reinforce social cohesion amid diversity. This study also proposes a conceptual model called Moderation-Based Public Service Governance (MBPSG) as a new framework for public service management grounded in the values of religious moderation, balancing administrative efficiency with social justice.

Abstract

This study aims to construct a conceptual model integrating value-based governance, value-based reputation, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within the context of global Islamic banking. The research is motivated by the need to bridge Islamic ethical values with modern governance and sustainability paradigms that emphasize the balance between profitability, moral integrity, and social responsibility. Employing a systematic literature review and thematic synthesis through qualitative analysis, this study identifies, categorizes, and synthesizes key conceptual themes relevant to the research focus. The findings reveal that value-based governance serves as an ethical foundation that strengthens value-based reputation, while the latter functions as a catalyst for achieving sustainable development objectives. The synergy among these three elements produces a governance model that positions the principles of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah as a normative framework for ethical, transparent, and sustainable Islamic financial practices. The primary contribution of this research lies in the simultaneous integration of the three major frameworks—value-based governance, value-based reputation, and SDGs—which enriches theoretical discourse on Islamic financial governance and provides strategic direction for the development of policy, sharia auditing, and sustainability reporting systems oriented toward ethical values and global welfare.

Abstract

Fazlur Rahman is one of the modern Muslim thinkers who plays an important rolein the reconstruction of Islamic thought, especially in responding to the challenges ofmodernity. He argues that Islam is not a static teaching, but rather a dynamic valuesystem that must always develop in accordance with the changing times. One of Rahman'smain criticisms of the Islamic world is the tendency to understand the Qur'an and Sunnahliterally without considering their historical and social context. He offers a double movementmethodology, an approach that traces the original meaning of the text in its historicalcontext, then applies it to modern conditions. This approach allows Islam to remainrelevant without losing its essence. In addition to the interpretation methodology, Rahmanalso contributed to the reform of Islamic education, the integration of science with religion,and the reconstruction of Islamic law based on the principle of maqasid al-shariah. Heemphasized the importance of reopening the door of ijtihad so that Muslims do not getcaught up in taqlid, namely the attitude of accepting Islamic law dogmatically withoutcritical evaluation. Rahman also criticized Islamic fundamentalism which tends to rejectmodernity absolutely, as well as radical secularism which seeks to eliminate the spiritualaspect of human life. According to him, Muslims must be able to adopt the positive aspectsof modernity, such as the development of science and technology, without sacrificingIslamic values. With a more rational and contextual approach, Rahman provides afoundation for Islamic renewal that is not only based on tradition, but also open to thedevelopment of the times. His thoughts offer solutions to various global challenges faced by Muslims, including inlegal, social, and economic aspects. Thus, modernity is not a threat to Islam, but ratheran opportunity to strengthen Islamic values in the lives of contemporary society.
