<![CDATA[This study examines how interfaith communities in Central Sulawesi transform religious pluralism into social cohesion in a post-conflict environment. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, participant observation, and document analysis involving 30 participants from diverse religious and community backgrounds. The findings reveal that everyday interfaith interaction, collaborative peacebuilding initiatives, and shared community activities significantly contribute to trust-building, prejudice reduction, and social solidarity. The study also identifies persistent challenges, including historical trauma, economic inequality, political manipulation of religion, and digital radicalization. These findings indicate that sustainable social cohesion requires more than passive tolerance; it depends on inclusive institutions, equitable development, and continuous interfaith cooperation. The study contributes to the literature by offering an integrated understanding of pluralism, peacebuilding, and cohesion in post-conflict societies, while providing practical insights for policymakers and community leaders seeking to strengthen long-term interreligious harmony.]]>
