Abstract

The rapid development of globalization and digital technology has significantly influenced the character and social behavior of young generations, particularly in weakening religious awareness, social ethics, and cultural identity. In the context of Minangkabau society, these challenges have become increasingly concerning as many young people are gradually disconnected from mosque-centered activities and local cultural values rooted in the philosophy of “Adat Basandi Syarak, Syarak Basandi Kitabullah.” Historically, mosques in Minangkabau function not only as places of worship but also as centers for moral education, social interaction, and cultural transmission. Therefore, this community service activity aimed to revitalize the role of Masjid Raya Padusunan Heritage Mosque in strengthening youth character through the integration of Islamic values and Minangkabau local wisdom. This activity was conducted on March 12, 2026, at Masjid Raya Padusunan, Pariaman City, using a participatory-educative approach. The program involved youth mentoring, interactive discussions, cultural reflection sessions, and character-building activities based on local wisdom values. Data were collected through observation, documentation, interviews, and participant response questionnaires. The results indicated a significant increase in participants’ understanding of the mosque’s role as a center for character development and cultural preservation. Approximately 85% of participants demonstrated improved awareness regarding the importance of Islamic and cultural values in everyday life, while 78% expressed motivation to become more actively involved in mosque activities. These findings suggest that revitalizing the social and educational functions of heritage mosques through culturally contextual approaches can effectively strengthen youth character and reinforce local identity amidst the challenges of globalization.

Abstract

The growing prevalence of intolerance, radicalism, extremism, and social polarization among young people has become a major challenge for the education sector, particularly due to the rapid flow of digital information that facilitates the dissemination of exclusive religious ideologies. In this context, Islamic Religious Education (IRE) teachers play a strategic role as agents of religious moderation by internalizing the values of Islam Rahmatan lil 'Alamin (Islam as a mercy to all creation). This study aims to examine the role of IRE teachers as agents of religious moderation in formal educational institutions in Indonesia. The study employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method through the analysis of relevant scholarly sources. The findings indicate that IRE teachers serve as role models, educators, and facilitators in fostering the values of tolerance, inclusivity, nonviolence, and respect for diversity. The implementation of religious moderation contributes to the creation of a harmonious educational environment and strengthens national unity. Despite challenges such as the spread of extremist ideologies and limited resources, efforts to enhance teachers' competencies, strengthen curricula that are responsive to contemporary developments and local wisdom, and promote collaboration among stakeholders can optimize the role of IRE teachers in advancing moderate and inclusive Islamic education. This study is expected to provide a conceptual contribution to strengthening the implementation of religious moderation within educational settings.
