MAINSTRAMING RELIGIOUS MODERATION AMONG ISLAMIC PREACHERS (DA’I-DAI’YAH)
Keywords:
Religious Moderation, Preachers, Islamic Preaching, RadicalismAbstract
Radicalism and violent extremism in the name of religion remain serious challenges in the socio-religious life of Indonesian society. In this context, preachers (dai) and Islamic preachers (daiyah) play a strategic role as agents of change in shaping moderate, inclusive, and peace-oriented religious understanding. This study aims to analyze the role of mainstreaming religious moderation in strengthening the capacity of preachers (dai) and Islamic preachers (daiyah) to prevent the development of exclusive and intolerant religious narratives. This research employed a qualitative approach with field study methods through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis of the da'wah activities of preachers (dai) and Islamic preachers. The results indicate that increased contextual religious literacy, a shared vision and mission for da'wah, and the availability of da'wah guidelines based on religious moderation contribute significantly to the effectiveness of peaceful and constructive da'wah. Mainstreaming religious moderation not only strengthens the competence of da'wah preachers (dai) but also serves as a reference for da'wah literacy, ensuring da'wah practices remain within the framework of authentic Islamic teachings and oriented towards the welfare of the community.
