Abstract
The rise of religious extremism, intolerance, and liberalism highlights the urgent need for a moderate Islamic perspective that remains relevant to contemporary social dynamics. This study examines the concepts of Islam Wasathiyah, Progressive Islam (Islam Berkemajuan), and the Manhaj Tajdid and Tarjih within the Muhammadiyah perspective. Using a qualitative approach based on library research, the study analyzes books, journal articles, and other relevant academic sources to explore the theoretical foundations and practical implementation of these concepts. The findings indicate that Muhammadiyah’s understanding of Islam Wasathiyah is grounded in the principles of justice, balance, moderation, tolerance, consultation, reform, exemplary conduct, and responsible citizenship. These principles are embodied through the concept of Progressive Islam, which integrates Islamic propagation (da‘wah), renewal (tajdid), scientific advancement, and social engagement to promote civilizational progress. In addition, the Manhaj Tajdid and Tarjih provides a methodological framework that preserves the authenticity of Islamic teachings while responding rationally and contextually to evolving social realities. Consequently, Muhammadiyah offers a religious model that is moderate, progressive, adaptive, and relevant to contemporary challenges.
This study discusses the method of istinbath in the concept of Islamic political leadership and its relevance to the development of modern politics in Indonesia. Istinbath is understood as a process of deriving Islamic law from the Qur’an, hadith, ijma’, and qiyas in order to formulate leadership principles that are in accordance with Islamic values and societal needs. This research employs a qualitative approach with a library research method by examining primary and secondary sources, including fiqh siyasah books, scientific journals, and Islamic legal literature related to Islamic political leadership. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and analytically using normative, historical, and contextual approaches. The results show that the istinbath method plays an important role in shaping the concept of Islamic political leadership based on trustworthiness, justice, deliberation, and public welfare. In addition, the implementation of istinbath contributes to the creation of a democratic, participatory, and socially responsive system of government. The values of maqashid al-shari’ah also serve as the foundation for adapting Islamic leadership principles to contemporary political challenges. Therefore, the istinbath method is capable of presenting an adaptive, humane, and relevant concept of Islamic political leadership within the modern governmental system in Indonesia.

Indonesia, as the country with the largest Muslim population, adopts neither a theocratic nor a secular state system, making the relationship between Islam, nationalism, and the state a significant topic of academic discussion. This study aims to examine the relationship between Islam and the Indonesian state, explore the concept of nationalism from an Islamic perspective, and analyze the role of Pancasila as the foundation of national character. The study employs a qualitative library research approach using descriptive-analytical methods by reviewing the Indonesian Constitution, Islamic teachings, scholarly literature, and relevant academic references on religion, nationalism, and Pancasila. The findings indicate that Indonesia applies a symbiotic relationship between religion and the state, in which religion provides moral and ethical guidance while the state guarantees religious freedom and social harmony. Islamic nationalism is understood as religious nationalism that promotes love for the homeland (hubbul wathan minal iman), unity, justice, and social responsibility. Furthermore, Pancasila serves as a common platform that harmonizes Islamic values with Indonesia's pluralistic identity and functions as the foundation for developing religious, democratic, humanistic, and tolerant character. The study concludes that the integration of moderate Islamic values and Pancasila is essential for strengthening national identity, promoting social cohesion, and fostering resilient character education in contemporary Indonesia.
Islamic theology is a discipline that studies the fundamental beliefs of Islam. Islamic theology, also known as *Ilm al-Kalam*, emerged as a response to various theological, social, political, and intellectual issues that developed after the death of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This study aims to explain the key concepts in Islamic theology, describe the development of theological studies throughout Islamic history, identify the sources of belief in Islam, analyze the major schools of Islamic theology and their approaches, and recognize prominent figures and their monumental works in the field of Islamic theology. This study employed a library research method by examining various relevant literature on Islamic theology. The findings reveal that Islamic theology has developed dynamically through various historical phases, from the era of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to the contemporary period. Islamic theological studies encompass fundamental concepts such as tawhid (monotheism), aqidah (creed), Ilm al-Kalam, and qada and qadar (divine decree and predestination). The primary sources of belief in Islam are the Qur'an and the Sunnah, supported by reason (aql) and scholarly consensus (ijma'). Differences in understanding these sources have given rise to various theological schools, such as Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama'ah, Mu'tazilah, and Shi'ah, each possessing its own characteristics and approaches. Furthermore, the development of Islamic theology cannot be separated from the contributions of prominent scholars such as Abu Hasan al-Ash'ari, al-Maturidi, al-Ghazali, Ibn Taymiyyah, and Muhammad Abduh. In conclusion, the study of Islamic theology plays an important role in strengthening faith, fostering tolerance, and providing a comprehensive understanding of various religious issues in the context of contemporary developments.

The crisis of religious identity, moral relativism, the secularization of knowledge, and the degradation of human values have become serious challenges to the sustainability of Islamic civilization in the modern era. This condition demonstrates the importance of an epistemological framework capable of integrating the dimensions of faith, morality, knowledge, and civilizational development holistically. This study aims to analyze the urgency of the Islamic worldview as a paradigm for strengthening faith, shaping morality, and serving as the foundation for the development of Islamic civilization. This study employed a qualitative approach using the library research method. Data were obtained from primary and secondary literature discussing the Islamic worldview, Islamic educational philosophy, Islamic epistemology, and the thought of contemporary Muslim scholars. The data were analyzed descriptively and analytically through critical interpretation of various scholarly sources. The findings show that the Islamic worldview has a strategic function as an ontological, epistemological, and axiological foundation that integrates revelation, reason, and empirical experience in developing a Muslim’s worldview. This paradigm strengthens faith through the internalization of tawhid, shapes morality based on the values of the Qur’an and Sunnah, and encourages the emergence of an Islamic civilization oriented toward knowledge, justice, public benefit, and social responsibility. These findings also affirm that the Islamic worldview serves as a conceptual framework for addressing secularization, materialism, and the global ethical crisis. The conclusion of this study indicates that the Islamic worldview is an essential intellectual and spiritual foundation for strengthening Islamic identity, character formation, and the revitalization of Islamic civilization in the contemporary era. The implications of this study provide a theoretical contribution to the development of Islamic educational thought and a practical reference for curriculum development, academic research, and Islamic education policy in shaping a Muslim generation that is faithful, morally upright, knowledgeable, and contributive to the development of a sustainable civilization.

This article examines the interpretation of religious moderation as a foundation for building a peaceful and sustainable civilization amid the complexities of contemporary global dynamics. The development of the modern world, characterized by globalization, technological advancements, and the increasing intensity of cross-cultural interactions, has significantly influenced religious life by creating opportunities for dialogue while also giving rise to potential conflicts. The phenomena of radicalism, intolerance, and the politicization of religion have emerged as serious challenges that threaten social stability. In response, religious moderation offers an approach that emphasizes balance, justice, and tolerance in understanding and practicing religious teachings. This study employs a library research method by examining classical and contemporary Qur'anic exegeses (tafsir) alongside relevant scholarly literature. The findings indicate that the concept of religious moderation in Islam is rooted in the principle of wasatiyyah (the middle path), as reflected in the Qur'an, particularly in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:143). The interpretation of Qur'anic verses on religious moderation highlights the importance of justice, tolerance, and inclusiveness in social life. Furthermore, religious moderation plays a strategic role in preventing radicalism, strengthening interfaith dialogue, and promoting social justice. Therefore, the interpretation of religious moderation can be understood as a paradigm that integrates spiritual and social values in fostering a harmonious, peaceful, and civilized civilization.
