Pendekatan Inklusif di Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan Islam dalam Upaya Penguatan Moderasi Beragama

Abstract

This research explaines the inclusive approach in Islamic Religious Universities in strengthening Religious Moderation. The main focus of the research is to address the challenges of religious plurality in the academic environment. Using qualitative methods, data was collected through interviews, observations and documents. The results of this research show that an inclusive approach is effective in easing inter-religious tensions and building a deeper understanding of tolerance. Religious universities need to adopt inclusive strategies as a progressive step in addressing differences. The findings are consistent with previous literature, illustrating the success of the inclusive approach as an enabler of religious moderation. The conclusion of this study underscores the urgency of implementing an inclusive approach in religious institutions to create a harmonious and inclusive environment. This research provides new insights into how inclusive approaches can be an important foundation in supporting religious moderation, with positive impacts on interfaith interactions and building respectful understanding. The implication is that inclusive approaches are not only relevant as a response to difference, but also as a proactive strategy in shaping religious paradigms that are open, tolerant, and promote interfaith coexistence.
