<![CDATA[This article aims to analyze the historical development, implementation, and challenges and opportunities of moderate Islamic education in Indonesia in order to build a tolerant and civilized national character. This study uses library research methods, reviewing scientific literature from the past ten years to obtain a comprehensive overview of the construction of moderate Islamic education. The findings indicate that moderate Islamic education has strong historical roots, from the colonial period to post-independence, through the role of Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), madrasahs (Islamic schools), and Islamic organizations in maintaining values of balance and inclusivity. Curriculum analysis reveals that the value of moderation has been integrated into materials on faith, morals, and social practices, although its implementation remains hampered by a dogmatic curriculum, limited teacher training, and a lack of resources. This research contributes to strengthening the theoretical foundation of moderate Islamic education and provides practical recommendations for curriculum development and educator capacity building. Implications emphasize the importance of policy synergy, strengthening educational institutions, and social literacy to address radicalization and global dynamics, so that moderate Islamic education can serve as a foundation for building a harmonious and responsive society to changing times.]]>
