Abstract Views: 0

Humans inherently maintain three inseparable relationships in life: their relationship with God, their interaction with fellow human beings, and their connection to the natural environment. These three relationships are essential for holding a balanced, harmonious, and meaningful life that prevents the detrimental consequences of misguided thinking. These relationships are intrinsically interconnected, with each exerting influence on one another. However, instability in one relationship can lead to imbalance, ultimately resulting in potential conflict and tension in social life. Hence, this research aims to interpret the in-depth meaning of religious moderation through the concept of the Tri-Relations of Religious Moderation, which includes hablum minallah (relationship with God), hablum minannas (relationship with fellow humans), and hablum minal ‘alam (relationship with nature). The study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The study relied on the literature review that analyses various relevant sources on the selected topic. The findings indicated that the implementation of religious moderation from an Islamic perspective will not be complete if it solely focuses on human-to-human relationships, without involving their relationships with God and their natural environment. Moreover, this study claimed that Tri-Relations of Religious Moderation create a balance and harmony in life, especially in the contemporary era marked by technological advancements and modern challenges. Thus, implementing these tri-relations ensures a balanced, peaceful, and harmonious life. Additionally, this research aims to contribute to the study of religious moderation and the development of public policies that support strengthening religious moderation in society.
