Participants engaged in several presentation sessions focusing on the concepts and values of religious moderation, efforts to counter the threat of terrorism in the context of religion and nationhood, and strengthening the relationship between religion and the state based on the four national pillars.

Also highlighted are the role of religious moderation as the spirit of dakwah rahmatan lil ‘alamin and discussions on Islam and ecology. Participants visited Istiqlal Mosque and the Qur’an Museum, providing added value to their experience and appreciation throughout the programme.

The three-day programme, which runs until today at Hotel Sunlake in North Jakarta, Indonesia, is themed ‘Teknis Penguatan Kompetensi Penceramah Agama Islam’.

It is one of the initiatives under the Strategic Focus ‘Religious Education and Appreciation’ in the MABIMS Strategic Plan 2021–2025.
