Religious moderation education is crucial for fostering a tolerant, peaceful, and diverse society as it encourages interfaith dialogue, supports universal values such as justice and peace, and instills an inclusive attitude that recognizes everyoneAos right to worship according to their own beliefs8. Education holds a very important position in Islam, as it enables individuals to acquire knowledge that can improve their quality of life and their standing before Allah SWT and others.

However, over time, there has been a dynamic interplay of understanding between customary values, religion, and modernity, which at times creates tensions in how the position and role of women are perceived11. The Minangkabau custom is a system of values that integrates religion, family honor, deliberation, and the matrilineal principle into every aspect of life, resulting in social harmony that is embraced with great pride by the entire The worldview of the Minangkabau people, known as "adat basandi syarak, syarak basandi kitabullah," reflects a beautiful balance between tradition and religion12. This philosophy demonstrates that, in the worldview of the Minangkabau people, there is harmony between local customs wand the teachings of Islam. Tradition must not contradict Islamic law, and Islamic law serves as the foundation for carrying out customs. This concept forms the framework for the Minangkabau community in their speech, actions in family and community life, as well as in the realm of education13. The success of religious moderation can be assessed by the ability to appreciate diversity, grant others the freedom to share thoughts and views, uphold equality, and adopt a cooperative attitude.
