Abstract

This study explores the implementation of religious moderation in Padak Guar Village, Sambelia District, serving as a case study to illustrate the integration and tolerance among religious communities. Drawing on qualitative data obtained through interviews with various religious leaders, the research reveals that the community embraces the principles of wasathiyah (religious moderation), emphasizing balance, justice, and inclusivity in social interactions. The findings indicate that these principles have contributed to fostering social harmony within a pluralistic environment. This article further examines the supporting factors that enable the practice of religious moderation in Padak Guar, the challenges encountered by the community, and proposes strategic recommendations to sustain peaceful coexistence amid religious diversity.

Review

This study presents a timely and highly relevant investigation into the dynamics of religious moderation and social integration within a specific pluralistic community. By focusing on Padak Guar Village as a detailed case study, the authors aim to shed light on practical approaches to fostering sustainable peace, a critical area of inquiry given the global challenges of interfaith relations. The title and abstract effectively convey the paper's ambition to move beyond theoretical discussions to explore lived experiences and concrete mechanisms of harmony and coexistence. Methodologically, the abstract indicates a qualitative approach, drawing insights from interviews with various religious leaders, which is appropriate for capturing nuanced perspectives on sensitive topics. The core finding—that the community actively embraces the principles of *wasathiyah*, emphasizing balance, justice, and inclusivity—is compelling and points to a robust foundation for social cohesion. The research's comprehensive scope, promising to explore not only the supporting factors but also the challenges encountered and strategic recommendations, suggests a well-rounded analysis of the practicalities of maintaining peace in a diverse environment. While the abstract clearly outlines the study's objectives and key findings, the full paper would benefit from elaborating on the specific nature of the "challenges encountered" and the "strategic recommendations" proposed, perhaps hinting at their novelty or generalizability. Nevertheless, this work promises to offer valuable empirical evidence and actionable insights for scholars, policymakers, and community leaders striving to replicate such models of peaceful coexistence. It represents a significant contribution to the literature on interfaith dialogue, religious moderation, and community resilience in pluralistic societies.
