Abstract

Religion on the one hand is a way to find true happiness on the basis of love, peace, guarantor of safety, moral guidance for all mankind. However, it is not uncommon that in the name of religion it also causes human suffering, triggers conflicts, wars, and various other sufferings that  are  born  from human  beings in  the  name  of  religion.  Therefore,  this is certainly counter-productive to the principles of religion which contain noble teachings by prioritizing humanity, peace, love and so on. Therefore, inter-religious dialog must be prioritized, in order to create harmony and peace among human beings. This research seeks to find the common ground of religions through qualitative methods and phenomenological approaches. The results of this study show that an inclusive attitude in religion can be realized  through  the  Trilogy  of  Harmony,  namely  1)  Interfaith  Harmony,  2)  Internal Harmony  of  Religious  Believers,  and  3)  Harmony  between  Government  and  Religious People. Furthermore, religion as a social construction process must be able to act as a moral guide for every human being. In principle, religion is expected to be able to guide global ethics, because there is no world peace without interfaith peace, and there is no interfaith peace without interfaith dialog. Also, interfaith dialog starts from 1) parliamentary dialog, 2) institutional  dialog,  3) theological  dialog,  4)  dialog  in  community  life,  and  5) spiritual dialog.
