Abstract

The motivation for this study comes from Al-Tayyeb's appeal as Sheikh al-Azhar, who is in charge of putting an end to the use of religion and sects to spread hatred, violence, and blind fanaticism, as well as the use of the name of God to defend terrorism, tyranny, murder, and displacement. In order to stop wars and conflicts that are causing mankind to regress to a lower level of civilization in the digital age, he urged international leaders to step in right away. In order to comprehend the benefits of religious moderation in Sheikh Al-Tayyeb's spiritual perspective, this research is crucial. This kind of study combines critical and descriptive analysis with qualitative research. The formal topic of Sheikh Al-Tayyeb's remarks, which were posted on the Dubai Media YouTube channel on February 4, 2019, during his speech at the Conference of Human Fraternity in the United Arab Emirates. The tangible item is a piece of writing on religious moderation. This study employs a religious phenomenology method, drawing on the philosophy of spirituality and the Indonesian Ministry of Religion's religious moderation paradigm. Discourse analysis is used to examine Sheikh Al-Tayyeb's Islamic moderation values. The results of this research prove that Sheikh Al-Tayyeb's religious moderation is in an interactive spirituality perspective with four indicators of moderation which are in the thought pillar, movement pillar and religious tradition pillar. Twelve Abu Dhabi papers contain the fundamentals of religious moderation.
