<![CDATA[The post-truth era has significantly impacted the understanding and practice of Islam, making it increasingly difficult to distinguish authentic religious knowledge from misinformation. Wasathiyah, as a principle of Islamic moderation, offers a balanced epistemological framework by integrating revelation (naql) and reason (aql), promoting contextual interpretation, and fostering critical engagement. This study examines the role of Wasathiyah epistemology in shaping moderate Islamic knowledge, enhancing digital literacy, and strengthening critical thinking in the post-truth era. Using a qualitative methodology with a content analysis approach, this research explores academic sources, including books, scientific journals, and prior studies. The findings highlight three key contributions: (1) Enhancing digital literacy among Muslims to counter misinformation, (2) Strengthening critical thinking and interfaith dialogue through a balanced understanding of Islam, and (3) Bridging textual and contextual analysis to preserve religious authenticity while adapting to contemporary challenges. However, this study is limited by its reliance on secondary sources. Further empirical research is needed to assess the practical application of Wasathiyah principles. Conceptually, this study contributes to the discourse on moderate Islam and contemporary epistemology.]]>
