This study explores the concept of religious moderation through the lens of the Qur'an and Hadith. It aims to describe religious moderation, emphasizing the balance and moderate application of religious teachings without extremism. The research uses a literature study method, revealing that many people, especially in Indonesia, still lack understanding of religious moderation. Moderation in religion is demonstrated through attitudes such as Tawasuth (middle way), Tawazun (balance), Iktidal (straight), Tasamuh (tolerance), Musawah (egalitarian), Syura (deliberation), Ishlah (reform), Aulawiyah (prioritizing priorities), and Tathawur wa ibtikar (dynamic and innovative). The study highlights the importance of religious moderation in promoting harmony, tolerance, and respect among different faiths. Islamic teachings, which emphasize balance (wasatiyyah), provide a strong framework for understanding and practicing religious moderation. However, implementing moderation is challenging due to various factors such as politics, culture, economy, and society. The study also discusses the values of religious moderation, including balance, fairness, tolerance, equality, consultation, reform, prioritization, and innovation. The research analyzes relevant Qur'anic verses and Hadiths, emphasizing the concept of wasathiyyah (middle way) as a key element of religious moderation. The study concludes that religious moderation is essential for maintaining social harmony and promoting coexistence among different religious communities. It also highlights the need for a deeper understanding of religious moderation to apply it effectively in daily life. The study underscores the importance of moderation in Islam, which is a balanced approach that avoids extremism and promotes tolerance and respect. The research provides a comprehensive overview of the concept of religious moderation, its values, and its application in Islamic teachings and practice.This study explores the concept of religious moderation through the lens of the Qur'an and Hadith.
