Abstract
This study focused on the meaning of the word moderate in the Qur'an contextually with reference to the QS. [2]: 143 and QS. [5]: 66. The idea of concept on religious moderation was still related to the meaning and urgency of moderate attitude by linking this attitude to the behavior of certain religious people. There were three problems in this study, (1) what was the form of the meaning of wasth and muqtashid? (2) what were the factors behind the meaning? (3) how the contextual meaning was generated. To respond the research problem, this study used a qualitative method using content analysis. This study revealed that the mention of moderate party in the Qur'an was not limited to Muslims, but also refers to other people. This was based on the similarity of meaning between the word wasth which was used to refer to Islam and muqtasid which was used to refer to Jews and Christians. Moderate was thus not identical to religion, but it was oriented to the attitude of humanity owned by everyone regardless of religion. Moderation thus did not always indicate the relationship between religion, but the relationship between human being.

Summary
Konsep moderasi yang selama ini hanya difokuskan pada konsep pemaknaannya dalam Islam dengan mengacu pada term yang disebutkan dalam al-Qur’an (Al-S{alab> i>, 2001), telah kehilangan makna kontekstualnya. Pemaknaan atas dua bentuk objek yang berbeda yang disebutkan dalam al-Qur’an dalam memaknai konsep moderat dapat berimplikasi pada pemahaman yang lebih adil dan setara. Umat Islam dan umat agama lain dapat disebut dengan golongan moderat jika memenuhi kriteria yang ditetapkan. Penelitian yang berkaitan dengan makna moderat dalam al-Qur’an hanya difokuskan pada ayat-ayat yang secara spesifik menyebutkan umat Islam. Tidak ada studi yang menempatkan term moderat dalam dua sisi, yakni penyebutan umat Islam sebagai ummatan wasathan dan umat lain sebagai ummatun muqtashidatun. Bentuk pemaknaan ini dapat menjadi rujukan dalam memberikan konsep moderat yang dimaksudkan oleh alQur’an kepada dua golongan tersebut. Hal yang sama juga digambarkan oleh al-Qur’an dengan menyebutkan umat lain sebagai golongan yang moderat, selain umat Islam.
