Abstract

Interfaith relations, or what we commonly know as religious moderation, have existed since the Srivijaya era. The Muaro Jambi Temple is a legacy of the Srivijaya kingdom. Character education in religious moderation is taught in the community and in the classroom. The Muaro Jambi temple complex was a center of moderation and religious education in Southeast Asia in the 15th century. As the largest temple complex in Southeast Asia, many of its buildings are still buried under the waters of the Batang Hari River, the longest river on the island of Sumatra. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach, meaning researchers find knowledge or theories about research over a certain period. This study aims to determine the value of Islamic religious teaching in the Muaro Jambi temple complex in Jambi. This study uses qualitative descriptive data analysis, meaning describing with the words used. This is done to provide an overview of the phenomenon and research results through data categorization and the use of common language. The results of the study indicate that the approach to religious moderation is strengthened through: 1) Interaction based on cross-cultural and interfaith dialogue; 2) Understanding the history of civilization to avoid extreme attitudes; 3) Contextual learning that combines Islamic values with cultural realities; 4) Strengthening social morals and awareness of preserving cultural heritage to ensure its reliability.
