Mainstreaming Religious Moderation for Humanity and Nationality
” Background
The challenges of Muslims today at least deal with two main issues. First, the tendency of some Muslims to be extreme and strict in understanding religious texts and imposing this method in the Muslim community, even using violence in some cases. Second, another extreme tendency includes the religion obedience which subject to negative behaviors and thoughts impacted from other cultures and civilizations. For this reason, moderation offers a solution as a middle ground option to eradicate ideas that contradict with the nation's identity. The epistemological pattern of Islamic scholarship in contemporary Muslim understanding towards religious moderation is different from that of traditional Islamic scholarship ('Ulumu al-Diin).The utilization of traditional scholar-religious scholar and epistemological methods still exists and is needed. In this case, the texts of the Qur'an become the initial central point (hadharah al-nash; Bayani; lexical-lughawiyyah), but its interpretation and understanding must be dialogued, mingled, integrated and contextualized with local, regional, and international realities.
