Understanding the Hadiths on Religious Moderation (Study of the Thoughts of M. Quraish Shihab in the Book Wasathiyyah Islamic Insights on Religious Moderation)

Abstract

The emergence of various cases that occur in the religious realm has created a negative stigma by the community. Various realities that occur reveal the trigger factor for religious extremism to occur when it is perceived in understanding the existing arguments. In this discussion, the book Wasathiyyah Islamic Insights on Religious Moderation becomes one of the literatures in which it presents hadiths about religious moderation. Hadith is a fundamental principle in legitimizing the minds of Muslims, which is not uncommon in understanding differences that cause gaps. The method used is qualitative research conducted by intensively observing the object to be studied. By using the hadith understanding approach, researchers will analyze the hadith presented in the book Wasathiyyah Islamic Insights on Religious Moderation by M. Quraish Shihab as primary data. The result of this research is that M. Quraish Shihab cites one of the sahih hadith narrated by Imam Muslim number 2591 which can be used as a reference for the community in understanding the meaning of religious moderation in different dimensions. The condition of Indonesian society is rich in culture and culture, especially acculturation and mixing between customs and religion. In responding to this, of course, wasathiyyah adherents will take the middle way and provide a wise attitude while not contradicting and staying away from Islamic values.
