Character of students who are starting to decline from Islamic values requires action from educators so they need to strengthen religious moderation through AIK courses. The aims of this research are to describe: 1) the strategy for strengthening religious moderation education through the Muhammadiyah al-Islam course at the PAI UNISMUH Makassar Study Program, and 2) the obstacles faced in strengthening religious moderation education through the Muhammadiyah al-Islam course. The method used in this research is descriptive with a qualitative approach. This research was conducted during March-May 2024 at UNISMUH Makassar. Data collection techniques use observation and interviews. The subjects of this research were five people, including two lecturers who taught the Al-Islam Kemuhammadiyahan, Deputy Chancellor IV for AIK, and two students of PAI study program. The research results show that: 1) religious moderation is implemented by lecturers through several strategies, including strengthening neutral attitudes; fair attitude; strengthening the character of tolerance; deliberation; reform; pioneer; help each other; non-violence; and respect for culture. 2) The obstacle faced is diversity of understanding because the condition of the large population in universities produces a variety of individuals with different understandings, not all of whom agree with Muhammadiyah's understanding, some even hate Muhammadiyah.
