<![CDATA[Efforts to strengthen religious moderation are faced with great challenges along with the strengthening of ideologies that preach intolerance, radicalism, and terrorism. These ideas indirectly erode the principle of moderation, causing a myriad of problems in society. Not to mention, the existence of identity politics further exacerbates divisions and differences in society, which in turn triggers attitudes of intolerance and radicalism, as happened in the Batu Satangtung case in Cigugur sub-district, Kuningan district. These problems imply a contradiction with the values of the Quran that always uphold tolerance and harmony between religious communities. This paper offers a Quranic solution through the actualization of the concept of mawaddah by strengthening social cohesion. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study research type. Quranic verses are discussed thematically using descriptive-analytic techniques. This study found that the concept of mawaddah can be actualized by strengthening social cohesion so that, in turn, religious moderation will be realized. The form of social cohesion based on Al-Quran values can be manifested in various activities, such as: 1) economic activities; 2) arts and cultural activities; 3) agricultural activities.]]>

<![CDATA[Sunan Gunung Jati is one of God's guardians who struggled to spread Islam in the archipelago and has a famous advice “Ingsun Titip Tajug lan Fakir Miskin”. This research aims to explore the values of Sunan Gunung Jati's famous advice comprehensively from a theological perspective. The method used is a qualitative method with a descriptive approach through literature review. The results showed that Sunan Gunung Jati's advice was not only to take care of the tajug (musala) and the poor. However, the value of Ilahiyyah and Insaniyyah reveals the depth of the message to the concept of being a complete human being. The foundation of the naqli argument also illustrates how important it is to maintain the relationship between a servant and his God and fellow creatures. Through theological analysis, the message of Ingsun Titip Tajug Lan Fakir Miskin can be interpreted as profound advice so that humans, especially Muslims, can become pious and humane individuals. Not apart from that, the Prophet Muhammad is also a true human figure who provides an exemplary attitude so that his people strive towards a complete human being by maintaining a balance of hablumminallah and hablumminannass. This research recommends that religious leaders be able to maintain and implement Sunan Gunung Jati's famous advice.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the strategies, creations, and innovations of driving teachers in integrating the value of religious moderation in religious subjects at school. This research uses a qualitative method by applying a descriptive-analytical approach. The results and discussion show that strengthening religious moderation in education is important as an effort to prevent students from extreme and radical views that lead to terrorism. World civilization in the current era must be equipped with a qualified understanding of religious practices in facing a multicultural society. Religious science and natural science work together in exploring the roots of faith or the founding of civilization. The basis for this integration is the unity of sources, goals, means and groups of knowledge. Religious science offers the purpose of life. Natural sciences offer the means necessary to realize these goals. The positive trend of civilization will continue as long as harmony is created between religious and scientific understanding. This research recommends to the position holders, school leaders in the world of education, students, communities, and other stakeholders not to be easily carried away by radicalism and terrorism.]]>

<![CDATA[This research aims to explore the concept of Islamic education with the values of religious moderation contained in Majid Irsan Al-Kilani's magnum opus falsafah at-tarbiyah al-islamiyyah. Because what is studied is text in the form of data used as a source of research material, this research uses a library research approach or literature study. This research uses a content analysis approach model, emphasizing in-depth discussion of the content of information written in the book. This research tries to build on the theory of human relations with God, humans with fellow humans, humans with nature, humans with life, and humans with the afterlife built by Al-Kilani. The results of this study show that the values of religious moderation in Al-Kilani's educational concept are implied in several things; integration between science and religion, relationships that humans must build for the sake of harmonization, equality between humans and nature, and emphasis on the urgency of values in the concept of education. Education built on the concept of religious moderation insight will make students' understanding moderate, tolerant and able to build harmony with nature.]]>

<![CDATA[Purpose- This study aims to explore the paradigm shifts in environmental awareness and disaster theology among Muslim communities on the North Coast of Java, particularly focusing on generational differences between Gen X and Gen Z in responding to ecological crises such as floods. Design/methods/approach- This research employs a qualitative method using surveys and in-depth interviews, supported by literature review. The phenomenological approach is used to examine individual experiences and meanings related to disasters. The analysis framework is based on Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann’s theory of the social construction of reality. Findings- The findings reveal that Gen Z tends to perceive disasters through the lens of environmental degradation and socio-political factors, influenced by digital media exposure and global ecological discourse. In contrast, Gen X adheres more to classical theological interpretations, viewing disasters as divine tests or punishments. However, both generations demonstrate ethical responses that are not solely rooted in theological understanding, but also shaped by evolving social values and knowledge. The typology of ethical-theological attitudes includes fatalism/vitalism in both passive and active forms. Research Implications- This research highlights the dynamic interaction between theology, ecology, and social construction in shaping environmental awareness. It underscores the need for strategic environmental education that integrates religious narratives to foster sustainable behavior, especially in disaster-prone communities with strong religious identities.]]>

<![CDATA[Purpose- This study aims to examine the role of the Nahdlatul Ulama Regional Board (PCNU) of Indramayu in promoting interfaith tolerance and maintaining religious harmony following the issuance of a fatwa by the Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI), which labeled the beliefs of the Segandu Hindu-Buddhist Dayak community as deviant. Design/methods/approach- Using a qualitative research design, the study collects data through interviews, observation, and documentation. The data are then analyzed thematically to uncover patterns in the response and engagement of PCNU Indramayu. Findings- The findings reveal that PCNU Indramayu acts as a mediator to reduce social tensions by advocating the values of ukhuwah (brotherhood) and wasathiyyah (moderation). Through public education and community engagement, the organization fosters tolerance and encourages mutual respect among religious groups, mitigating the risk of discrimination and conflict. Research Implications- This research highlights the importance of civil Islamic organizations in conflict resolution and religious peacebuilding. It offers a model for how local religious actors can counteract intolerance and support pluralism in a religiously diverse society.]]>

<![CDATA[Abstract: Purpose- This study aims to reinterpret Ali ‘Abd al-Raziq’s thoughts on the separation of religion and politics within the framework of Indonesian democracy, offering fresh perspectives on the relationship between religion and the state in a pluralistic society. Design/methods/approach- The research adopts a library research method using a descriptive qualitative approach, analyzing primary texts by al-Raziq alongside relevant literature on Indonesian democratic principles and political theology. Findings- The study finds that al-Raziq’s arguments—particularly his rejection of the caliphate as a religious obligation and his emphasis on politics as a human construct—resonate with Indonesia’s foundational philosophy of Pancasila. His thought affirms the necessity of a state independent from religious authority while upholding the moral value of religion in social life. Research Implications- This reinterpretation highlights the continuing relevance of al-Raziq’s secular political theology in contemporary Muslim-majority democracies. It provides conceptual support for democratic systems that separate state governance from religious institutions while maintaining space for ethical-religious influence in public discourse.]]>

<![CDATA[Abstract: Purpose- This study explores the tradition of Salat Hadiyah and Tahlilan in Gunungmanik Village, aiming to examine its religious significance and social function within the local Muslim community. Design/methods/approach- The research adopts a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing field observations, interviews with religious and community leaders, and a review of theological sources to understand both practice and perception. Findings- The findings reveal that these rituals serve not only as spiritual offerings for the deceased but also as a means of strengthening communal ties and preserving intergenerational religious values. Despite ongoing theological debates regarding the transfer of worship rewards to the deceased, the community largely upholds the practice, supported by interpretations from salaf and khalaf scholars. Religious and local leaders play a key role in sustaining and promoting this tradition. Research Implications- This study emphasizes the need to strengthen public understanding of Islamic teachings in harmony with local culture. Preserving practices like Salat Hadiyah and Tahlilan as part of religious and cultural heritage is vital to ensuring their relevance and acceptance in contemporary Muslim society.]]>

<![CDATA[Abstract: Purpose- This study aims to explore the role of Qur'anic verses in the Ritual of Tolak Bala at Pondok Pesantren Tahfizul Quran Miftahul Falah Cirebon, focusing on how these verses are practiced and understood within the ritual. Design/methods/approach- The research employs a qualitative methodology with a descriptive approach. Primary data were collected through interviews with pesantren caregivers, teachers, students, and local community members, while secondary sources were obtained from journal articles, books, classical Islamic texts (kitab kuning), and documentation. Findings- The findings indicate that specific Qur'anic verses—particularly Ayat Kursi and selected chapters—hold a central spiritual function in the implementation of the Tolak Bala ritual. This ritual serves as a means of invoking divine protection and reflects both a functional interpretation of the Qur'an and the continuity of the living Qur'an tradition within the pesantren environment. Research Implications- This study highlights the enduring relevance of local religious practices rooted in Qur'anic spirituality. It emphasizes the importance of contextualizing Islamic traditions within communal rituals, ensuring that such practices continue to thrive as expressions of faith and cultural identity in contemporary pesantren life.]]>

<![CDATA[Purpose- This study aims to explore how Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in Indonesia respond to the challenges of modernization, focusing on the balance between preserving traditional values and embracing educational innovation. Design/methods/approach- The research uses a qualitative descriptive approach by examining the philosophical foundation of al-muhafazhah ‘ala al-qadīm as-sālih wa al-akhdz bi al-jadīd al-aslah as a guiding principle for adaptation. Analysis centers on the role of the kiai as a key actor in decision-making and institutional resilience. Findings- The study finds that pesantren have demonstrated remarkable adaptability by integrating modern educational practices while preserving their religious and cultural heritage. The kiai plays a pivotal role in interpreting change, facilitating innovation selectively, and managing tensions between traditionalism and reform. This dynamic allows pesantren to remain relevant without losing their identity. Research Implications- The findings underscore the importance of maintaining a contextual and value-based approach in Islamic education reform. Understanding how pesantren synthesize conservatism with progressivism offers a model for educational institutions facing similar dilemmas in plural and rapidly evolving societies.]]>
