Abstract

This research emphasizes the importance of Wasathiyah Islam as a basis for creating a just, peaceful and harmonious society. Wasathiyah Islam, which prioritizes the principles of moderation, justice, balance and tolerance, plays an important role in building a tolerant and peaceful national life. This principle is in line with the high diversity of Indonesian society and is supported by the Pancasila ideology. By examining the concept of Wasathiyah in Islam, its role in national life, as well as the challenges and solutions to its implementation. A descriptive qualitative research method based on literature study was used to analyze relevant theory and data. The research results show that Wasathiyah's values "‹"‹are reflected in large Islamic organizations such as Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah, which promote moderation through education, Islamic boarding school traditions, and social programs. Indonesian history and culture, such as the concept of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika and the culture of mutual cooperation, also support the implementation of Wasathiyah Islam. However, the implementation of this principle faces challenges in the form of extremism and social tensions, which require an inclusive approach, education and inter-religious dialogue as a solution.
