Abstract

This article aims to map students' understanding of hadiths that contain counter-moderation content. Three aspects of moderation that are the focus of this study include: national commitment, tolerance, anti-violence, and adaptation to local culture. The main focus of the study is directed at three things, namely students' understanding of hadiths, the understanding model used, and their level of Islamic literacy. This research is field research with a qualitative approach. Data was collected from fifth-semester students at the Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training (FTK) through in-depth interviews. Respondents were asked to read and understand a number of hadiths with anti-moderation nuances (along with their translations) that had been prepared by the researcher. The researchers then explored how they understood the meaning and context of these hadiths. The collected data were then classified and analyzed based on the research questions. The results showed that the students' thinking tended to be very moderate, with a contextual understanding model, especially towards hadiths that, according to common sense, contradicted state law. Meanwhile, towards hadiths that did not conflict with national legal values, students tended to use a textual approach. However, the students' level of Islamic literacy was relatively low, as indicated by the lack of literary references in the arguments they presented. Based on these findings, the study recommends that stakeholders integrate specific material on religious moderation into the student learning curriculum.
