Islamic Communication in Voicing Religious Moderation as an Effort to Prevent Conflicts of Differences in Beliefs

Abstract

The existence of Islamic Sharia in Aceh Indonesia is often discussed in relation to inter-religious harmony. Although the implementation of Islamic Sharia in Aceh has tolerance non-Muslim adherents are not required to follow a series of qanun rules. However, conflicts in the name of religion have occurred in social life such as the issue of building houses of worship. The purpose of this research is to explain how Islamic communication can play an important role in promoting religious moderation and preventing conflicts of different beliefs. In addition, it explains how Islamic communication reduces the potential for conflict between religious communities in Aceh to maintain diversity as part of the identity of social life. This research uses desk research methodology with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through a literature review of books, journals, internet media, and various publications related to the research topic. Data were carefully analyzed through reading and analysis, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results of the study show that the main challenge in instilling an attitude of religious moderation with Islamic requirements encourages the importance of Islamic communication to create interaction, thus giving rise to dialogue and an attitude of tolerance as a prevention of religious conflict. In addition, the role of the Religious Harmony Forum in Aceh is very influential in the emergence of harmony with the principle of equality of mutual respect and understanding. Furthermore, Religious leaders, assist in encouraging resolution, improving relationships, and conflict prevention by routinely conducting literacy to strengthen tolerance.
