Indonesia’s national resilience faces various internal and external challenges related to religious, social, and national issues. This study aims to analyze the role of religious studies in strengthening Indonesia's national resilience. The method used is library research with a descriptive-analytical approach. The results of the study show that religious studies contribute to national resilience through three main functions, namely the formation of morality, the strengthening of national identity, and the development of social integration. Religious studies also play a role in responding to internal challenges in the form of intolerance, radicalism, religious politicization, and erosion of moral values, as well as external challenges in the form of global religious conflicts, the spread of transnational ideologies, global cultural currents, and international geopolitical dynamics. These findings confirm that religious studies not only function as an academic study, but also as a strategic instrument in strengthening social cohesion, developing religious moderation, and increasing national resilience in the midst of a pluralistic Indonesian society.
