Analisis Semiotika John Fiske terhadap Representasi Nilai Moderasi Beragama dalam Dialog Podcast Escape Episode 5 'Fenomena Islam dan Muslim (Munafik)' oleh Raymond Chin dan Ustadz Felix Siauw Kartika, Dewi Nurjayanti, Gita Bustam, Betty Mauli Rosa Semiotic Analysis John Fiske Moderate Religious Values Phenomenon of Islam and Muslims (Hypocrites) Background: The dominance of conservative religious narratives on social media often triggers exclusivism and intolerance, especially among the younger generation. On the other hand, digital media such as podcasts are beginning to be used as alternative spaces for conveying religious messages reflectively and inclusively. Objectives: This study aims to analyse the representation of religious moderation values in the podcast as a form of reflective and contextual digital religious communication. Method: This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with two analytical methods: thematic analysis using Taguette software and John Fiske's semiotic analysis as a theoretical framework for interpreting symbols and messages in podcast dialogues. Results: The eight central values of religious moderation, tawassuth, tasamuh, i'tidal, syura, anti-violence, tathawwur wa ibtikâr, tasdid, and wasathiyyah, are symbolically and contextually represented through reflective narratives, equal communication, and empathetic discussions between the speakers. Conclusion: Escape podcast episode 5 represents an adaptive narrative of religious moderation, bridging conservatism and religious liberalism, and opening up space for negotiating the meaning of Islam that is more relevant to the lives of the younger generation. Originality/Value: This study provides theoretical and methodological novelty in the field of digital Islamic communication and new media studies by revealing the symbolic and contextual representation of eight core religious moderation values (tawassuth, tasamuh, i'tidal, syura, nonviolence, tathawwur wa ibtikar, tasdid, and wasathiyyah) articulated through reflective narratives, egalitarian communication, and empathetic dialogue regarding religious moderation as an adaptive narrative bridging conservatism and religious liberalism within the context of online podcast interactions targeting the younger generation, an area that has previously received limited academic attention compared to one-way or text-based social media preaching. These findings enrich empirical evidence and serve as a strategic reference in designing inclusive, relevant, and contextual digital da'wah communication models in the era of media transformation.

In the context of increasing social fragmentation, identity politics, and religious polarisation, our cultural values are becoming increasingly relevant to reinforce inclusive and balanced religious expressions. Objective: This study aims to analyse the theoretical relationship between the tradition of gotong royong and religious moderation, and to explain how embedded cultural values shape inclusive, tolerant, and socially responsible religious practices. Method: This research employs a qualitative literature review, systematically examining 15 relevant peer-reviewed articles. The collected data were analysed analyzedntent analysis techniques to identify recurring themes, conceptual patterns, and theoretical linkages between cultural practices and religious moderation. Result: The findings reveal that gotong royong functions not merely as a communal activity but also as a value-laden social mechanism that internalises solidarity, equilibrium, and principles of collective responsibility, which resonate strongly with religious moderation. It also strengthens social cohesion and mitigates potential conflict in multicultural settings. Conclusion: The tradition of gotong royong constitutes a concrete manifestation of religious moderation grounded in local wisdom and plays a strategic role in sustaining social harmony. Originality/Value: This review study provides theoretical and conceptual novelty in the field of cultural sociology and religious moderation by synthesizing scholarship on gotong royong not merely as communal physical labor but as a value-laden mechanism that internalizes solidarity, equilibrium, and collective responsibility regarding inclusive religious practices and conflict mitigation within the context of indigenous local wisdom, which has received limited systematic theoretical examination. These findings enrich conceptual frameworks and serve as a strategic reference in formulating culturally rooted social policy frameworks, community conflict resolution models, and sustainable peacebuilding initiatives in pluralistic societies.

The film Tanda Tanya (?) depicts interfaith interactions and social tensions that reflect these challenges in contemporary Indonesian society. Objective: This study examines how the film represents religious moderation and principles of good governance, emphasising the relationship among individual behaviour, community values, and social stability. Method: A qualitative content analysis was conducted, focusing on scenes, dialogues, character interactions, and conflict patterns to identify indicators of moderation and governance practices. Results: The film illustrates tolerance, interfaith cooperation, non-violence, and respect for human dignity, alongside community participation, fairness, and rejection of discrimination. Unresolved conflicts in the narrative reveal vulnerabilities and social tensions when moderation values are absent. Conclusion: Religious moderation provides a foundation for inclusive, stable, and effective social governance, while its absence can lead to imbalance and conflict. Originality/Value: This study provides conceptual and analytical novelty in the field of political communication sociology and religious cinema studies by revealing how religious moderation values such as tolerance, interfaith cooperation, nonviolence, and social justice intersect with principles of good governance regarding public stability in the democratic era within the context of popular Indonesian cinema, which has received limited scholarly attention as an instrument of governance reflection.

Reconstruction of the Concept of Interfaith Dialogue from the Perspective of Religious Moderation Afriani, Afriani Maharani , Anggun Tammas Hanifa, Sukma Aulia Interfaith Dialogue Religious Moderation Reconstruction Background: This article is grounded in the reality that interfaith dialogue practices in plural societies tend to be formalistic, elitist, and confined to theological discourse, and therefore have not fully addressed the challenges of intolerance, social polarisation, and disinformation. Objective: This study aims to reconstruct the concept of interfaith dialogue from the perspective of religious moderation to make it more inclusive, contextual, and applicable. Method: The research employs a qualitative method with a constructive-critical approach, grounded in a literature review, and is analysed through stages of deconstruction, critical-comparative analysis, and conceptual reconstruction. Result: The findings indicate the need for a shift in the orientation of dialogue from symbolic-theological to social-transformative, integrating the values of tawazun (balance), tasamuh (tolerance), i‘tidal (justice), and national commitment. The proposed dialogue model is inclusive and participatory, relational and empathetic, and adaptive to contemporary challenges, including those in the digital sphere. Conclusion: Reconstructing interfaith dialogue based on religious moderation can strengthen social cohesion and national harmony. Originality/Value: This study provides theoretical and epistemological novelty in the field of religious conflict resolution and peace sociology by revealing the necessity of shifting the interfaith dialogue paradigm from an elitist, formalistic, and theological discourse toward a socially transformative praxis anchored in tawazun, tasamuh, i'tidal, and civic commitment regarding the mitigation of intolerance and polarization within the context of pluralistic societies in the digital era, which has received limited applied theoretical formulation. These findings reconstruct existing conceptual frameworks and serve as a strategic reference, contributing to the development of participatory interfaith engagement models, the design of actionable communal harmony roadmaps, and the formulation of adaptive religious moderation policies.

Islam Rahmatan lil ‘Alamin sebagai Landasan Moderasi Beragama di Indonesia: Dialektika Hablun Minallah dan Hablun Minannas Dinajad, Abid Ahmad Islam Rahmatan lil ‘Alamin Religious Moderation Wasathiyyah Pluralism Background: The rise of textual, rigid, and ahistorical religious understandings in Indonesia increases the risk of intolerance and radicalism. Objective: This study aims to deeply examine the concept of Islam Rahmatan lil ‘Alamin as a theological foundation for religious moderation amidst national plurality. Method: Employing a qualitative descriptive approach based on a literature review (library research), this study utilizes normative theological and sociological frameworks. Primary data are derived from the Qur'an (Surah Al Anbiya: 107) and religious moderation policy documents, analyzed through thematic analytical methods. Results: Findings indicate that Islam Rahmatan lil ‘Alamin serves as an active paradigm integrating vertical (hablun minallah) and horizontal (hablun minannas) dimensions. The values of compassion (rahmah) manifest through moderation principles (wasathiyyah) and are historically proven via Walisongo's peaceful, accommodative cultural dawah. Conclusion: Strengthening the Rahmatan lil ‘Alamin paradigm is crucial as a methodological solution to bridge religious extremities and maintain social harmony. Originality/Value: This study provides theoretical and epistemological novelty in the field of Islamic theology and sociology of religion by revealing the dialectical integration of vertical hablun minallah and horizontal hablun minannas dimensions through a synthesis of normative theological readings of Surah Al Anbiya 107 and historical precedents of Walisongo accommodative cultural dawah regarding the operationalization of Islam Rahmatan lil Alamin as an active theological foundation for religious moderation within the context of sustaining social cohesion against textual and rigid religious interpretations in Indonesia, an area that has received limited holistic scholarly examination bridging sacred texts, history, and policy frameworks. These findings enrich conceptual scholarship and serve as a strategic reference in formulating evidence based religious moderation policies, designing contextual dawah curricula, and mitigating radicalism and intolerance in pluralistic societies.

Religious Moderation as Social Praxis: Religion as a Need in the Lived Experience of Pesantren (Islamic Boarding School) Mushthofa, Anas Zainuddin, Muhammad Ahmad Izzuddin Religious Moderation Pesantren(Islamic Boarding School); Social Praxis Lived Religion Background: Discourse on religious moderation is frequently understood normatively and regulatively through top down policy programs that risk becoming detached from the actual experiences of believers. Objective: This study aims to analyze how perceiving religion as a human need contributes to the formation of religious moderation as a social praxis within the pesantren environment. Methods: This study employs a reflective qualitative method grounded in an insider position, with data collected through continuous observation, interviews, and literature study. Results: The findings reveal that religious moderation is experienced as a social praxis emerging from everyday religious experience (lived religion). Moderation values are manifested through the moral leadership of scholars (kiai), persuasive language, and prudent institutional role boundaries to maintain social harmony. Although effective in dampening open conflicts, this strategy of self restraint leaves boundaries in addressing structural problems. Conclusion: This study concludes that religious moderation is a dynamic and contextual social process rather than a completed normative indicator.  Originality/Value: This study provides theoretical and epistemological novelty in the field of sociology of religion and Islamic boarding school anthropology by revealing how perceiving religion as an existential human need fosters religious moderation as an organic social praxis through the moral leadership of kiai, persuasive discourse, and prudent institutional boundary maintenance regarding social harmony within the context of the daily lived experiences of pesantren communities, which has received limited scholarly attention due to the prevalence of top down, normative, and regulatory policy perspectives. These findings reconstruct religious moderation from static compliance metrics into a dynamic, negotiated social process while serving as a strategic reference in lived religion policy evaluation, localized conflict containment, and the design of grounded, community driven harmony initiatives.

Thematic Exegesis Analysis of Religious Polarization on Social Media Mahfud, Ahmad Wasilah, Zulfatul Religious polarisation Social media Thematic exegesis Background: Religious polarisation on social media has become a serious challenge in plural societies, marked by the proliferation of hate speech, misinformation, and exclusive religious interpretations that intensify social fragmentation. Objective: This study aims to analyse Qur’anic values as a foundation for religious communication ethics in responding to the dynamics of religious polarisation in digital spaces. Method: The research employs a qualitative approach using thematic exegesis (maudhu‘i). The data are derived from Qur’anic verses related to the principles of moderation (wasathiyah), freedom of religion, human pluralism, tabayyun (information verification), ethics of dialogue, and peaceful relations with non-Muslims. The analysis is conducted through a comparative examination of classical and contemporary exegeses to identify their contextual relevance within the social media ecosystem. Result: The findings indicate that these Qur’anic values establish a normative framework that promotes moderate, inclusive, and verification-based communication while preventing the escalation of digital conflict. Conclusion: The Qur’an serves as a comprehensive ethical guide to reducing religious polarisation in digital spaces by fostering dialogue, tolerance, and responsibility. Originality/Value: This study provides theoretical and methodological novelty in the field of Quranic studies and digital communication ethics by revealing a synthesis of normative Quranic values encompassing wasathiyyah, tabayyun, pluralism, religious freedom, and dialogic ethics through a comparative analysis of classical and contemporary interpretations regarding the mitigation of religious polarization within the context of the social media ecosystem, which has received limited thematic exegesis attention. These findings enrich conceptual frameworks and serve as a strategic reference in constructing religious based digital communication ethics, formulating online religious literacy guidelines, and mitigating conflict escalation in pluralistic virtual public spheres.
