Abstract

Since 2019, religious moderation has become an important concern in religious and educational policy, including as a theme of academic study in the context of pesantren. Nevertheless, studies that map the interconnections, reinforcement, and differences in recent research findings regarding the mechanisms, actors, and outcomes of the role of pesantren in strengthening religious moderation remain limited. This study aims to analyze the strategic role of pesantren in strengthening religious moderation by mapping curricular, cultural, communicative, managerial, and digital strategies in recent literature. This study used a qualitative approach with a narrative literature review design involving nine journal articles published in 2026 that discuss pesantren-based religious moderation. Data were collected through Google Scholar, SINTA, Publish or Perish, and Mendeley Desktop using relevant thematic and publication-year criteria. The review process included identification, relevance screening, data reduction, theme grouping, data extraction, and comparative analysis. The results show that pesantren strengthen religious moderation through five main strategies, namely an integrated curriculum, cultural and communal habituation, da‘wah communication, institutional management, and digital literacy. These strategies are implemented through the integration of the kitab kuning curriculum contextualized with national insight and the use of dialectical learning methods such as sorogan, bandongan, and bahtsul masail. The leadership of the kiai is a determining factor as a moral exemplar capable of transforming the value of tolerance into real social practice. The conclusion of this study affirms that pesantren have a strategic role in strengthening the moderate religious character of santri through an integrative educational approach. The implications of this study show that pesantren can be positioned as a relevant model of Islamic education in supporting the strengthening of religious moderation and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals agenda.
