Abstract

Introduction: In pluralistic societies like Indonesia, religious moderation is a critical public health and social cohesion imperative. Mosques and their imams serve as pivotal institutions and leaders in shaping community attitudes. This study explores how mosque imams in the Muslim-minority regions of Dairy and West Pakpak, North Sumatra, leverage local wisdom to foster religious moderation and social harmony.Objective: This research aims to analyze the practices and impact of mosque imams in promoting religious moderation by integrating Islamic teachings with indigenous local values, specifically the Sikata One (unity and solidarity) and Marga Silima (balance and harmony) principles of the Pakpak community.Methods: A qualitative study was conducted in Dairy and West Pakpak Regencies. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with mosque imams and administrators (n=40) and supplemented by content analysis of relevant documents, including local manuscripts and literature on religious moderation. A thematic analysis was employed to identify key patterns in the imams' strategies for integrating local wisdom with religious teachings.Results: The findings reveal a high prevalence of moderate attitudes among community members influenced by the imams. Key results include: 70% acceptance of friends from different religions; 75% rejection of coercing others to conform to one's religious will; and 90% comfort in sitting next to individuals of different faiths at events. Thematic analysis identified that imams actively incorporate the principles of Sikata One and Marga Silima into sermons and community guidance, framing religious coexistence as an extension of traditional cultural values.Conclusion: Mosque imams play an instrumental role as agents of religious moderation by effectively syncretizing Islamic doctrine with deeply held local wisdom. This culturally-grounded approach, championed by religious leaders, is a significant factor in the sustained interfaith harmony observed in these regions. The study underscores the importance of leveraging cultural assets and religious leadership in public health and policy initiatives aimed at building resilient, tolerant, and cohesive societies. Keywords: Religious Moderation, Mosque Imams, Local Wisdom, Social Cohesion.

Abstract

Stunting reduction requires coordinated nutrition specific and nutrition sensitive interventions across sectors. This study evaluated the implementation of the stunting reduction convergence program and identified components requiring strengthening in Sibolga City. A descriptive qualitative program evaluation with a formative process focus was conducted in July–August 2026. Eighteen informants were purposively selected from local government agencies and TPPS, field implementers, and beneficiary families. Data were collected through in depth interviews, focus group discussions, observation, document review, and supporting anthropometric measurement. Data were analyzed through transcription, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing and verification, supported by source, method, and investigator triangulation. Three main findings were identified. First, TPPS members and frontline implementers generally understood their roles and responsibilities, and various nutrition specific and nutrition sensitive interventions had been implemented. Second, program convergence was constrained by uneven financing and incomplete integration of planning, budgeting, data management, monitoring, and evaluation across sectors. Third, sustained household behavior change remained challenging because of incomplete counseling participation, economic constraints, stigma toward stunting, and sanitation barriers in several coastal areas. The convergence program in Sibolga City has established an important institutional and programmatic foundation, but further strengthening is needed in implementation capacity, financing, cross sector coordination, data quality, family centered assistance, sanitation, and joint monitoring. TPPS and Bappeda should strengthen integrated planning and budgeting, while the Health Office, relevant OPDs, and urban village level actors should improve data quality, family follow up, and nutrition sensitive interventions

Abstract

Nutritious local foods require processing innovations that are appropriate for young children, religious values, and household conditions. This participatory educational community engagement program aimed to develop Dali Ni Horbo, a traditional buffalo-milk-based local food, into sweet sticks, savory sticks, and cookies and to evaluate product acceptance among 40 Muslim women with children under five in Humbang Hasundutan Regency. The program included nutrition and halal-thayyib education, food-processing demonstrations, hygiene and sanitation education, observation of participant engagement, and hedonic evaluation of color, aroma, taste, and texture. All three products showed high levels of acceptance. Sweet sticks tended to receive the highest ratings for color, aroma, and taste, whereas cookies received the highest rating for texture. Participants also demonstrated active engagement through discussions, questions, and interest in trying similar food preparation at home. These findings indicate that Dali Ni Horbo diversification has potential as a caregiver-accepted local-food innovation and may support Muslim women’s practical engagement in household food management. In practical terms, this approach may contribute to improving the variety and quality of foods provided to young children and thereby support efforts to maintain adequate nutritional status, although its direct effects on child nutritional outcomes require further evaluation.

Abstract

Abstract Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) are strategically positioned to strengthen religious moderation because religious learning, social habituation, and character formation occur within an integrated educational environment. This study assessed observed changes in students’ religious practices and religious moderation outcomes following a pesantren-based educational program integrating contextual jihad, nationalism, and ecotheology. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest evaluation was conducted among 25 Grade XII students at Pondok Pesantren Modern Al-Hasyimiyah, Tebing Tinggi, Indonesia. Participants were purposively selected in coordination with the pesantren from members of the student organization (OSIS), and all completed both pretest and posttest assessments. The program was delivered in a single activity day through interactive education, guided discussion, a religious-moderation matching game, and a “Love for the Homeland” snakes-and-ladders game. A 50-item questionnaire assessed religious practice, national commitment, religious understanding, tolerance, and anti-violence attitudes; ecotheology-related content was embedded within selected items rather than measured as a separate scale. Data were analyzed using Shapiro-Wilk tests followed by paired-samples t-tests or Wilcoxon signed-rank tests according to data distribution, with a Bonferroni-adjusted significance threshold of p<0.010 for five primary outcomes. Posttest scores were higher for religious practice (23.52 to 25.56; p<0.001), religious understanding (26.20 to 29.68; p<0.001), and anti-violence attitudes (34.20 to 36.56; p=0.001). National commitment increased from 33.52 to 34.40 (p=0.110), and tolerance from 32.64 to 33.44 (p=0.303), but neither change was statistically significant. These findings indicate short-term within-group changes in religious practice, religious understanding, and anti-violence attitudes, while national commitment and tolerance may require longer-term reinforcement. Because no control group was included, the findings should be interpreted as preliminary observed changes rather than causal effects. Institutional permission was obtained from the pesantren; no formal ethics-committee approval number was available for this community-service educational activity.
