This research uses a qualitative approach with a focus on the analysis of Islamic texts related to the concept of religious moderation. The main data sources of this research consist of classical and modern literature derived from the works of scholars such as Al-Ghazali, Al-Syatibi, and Yusuf Al-Qaradawi.
