Tafsir Tematik Moderasi Islam: Jalan Menuju Moderasi Beragama di Indonesia

Abstract

Religious moderation as a religious narrative to provide an understanding of religious adherents and religious attitudes in Indonesia so that they are in the middle position. Religious moderation has an important role in understanding religion as a whole. Indonesia as a country with various tribes, nations, religions and cultures is a challenge in itself to create unity in the midst of pluralism. This study discusses religious moderation in Indonesia in the thematic interpretation of Islamic moderation. This research uses a qualitative research type of literature study using descriptive methods. The results of the study show that religious moderation is a moderate religious attitude between the two extreme poles, namely the right and left which is reflected in the seven main characters namely respecting various differences, knowing the main practices, not having excessive fanaticism, practicing religion easily, not understanding religious texts textually of course, making differences a strength, and being consistent in religion. This research recommends the government to make the thematic interpretation of islamic moderation a reference in carrying out religious moderation in Indonesia.
