- Abstract
This study aims to describe the perspective of urban university students on religiosity moderation expressions. It seeks to understand how students manage to possess a moderate view of religiosity that is related to social interaction and nationalism in a multicultural society which will be a glimmer of light in facing social and political challenges in the future. It is hoped that young university students with moderate religious attitudes can become active members providing social cohesion of nationalism in a multicultural country. This research was conducted qualitatively employing observation instruments and in-depth interviews as data collection tools among elite members of MATAN of Universitas Negeri Jakarta. The research finding illustrates that MATAN elite members have moderate attitudes and views in aspects of moderatism (at-Tawasuth), tolerance (at-Tasamuh), and nationalism (al-Muwathanah). These perspectives have been implemented in the students based Sufi organization (MATAN) at university level. If these religiosity moderation attitudes are able to be replicated in other universities, many will see this as hope for responding to the future social and political challenges.
