Abstract

One of the problems that happens regarding religious moderation is that many people do not claim a particular religion, whether or not religious moderation only applies to individuals or groups who have a religion. The role of Islamic Philosophy seems to be urged to solve the problem. To explore the variety of Islamic philosophical thoughts led this article to discuss the thoughts of Suhrawardi, the founder of Isyraqi philosophy. This article aimed to analyze the concept of Isyraqi philosophy related to the esoteric concept of religious pluralism and its relationship to human tolerance in the discourse of religious moderation. This research applied a literature review, collecting information sourced from books and journal articles, especially about Suhrawardi’s thoughts as the primary source and relevant studies as the secondary source. The results of the research showed that; (1) Allah SWT is the main source for the creation of knowledge, religions and beliefs (2) Isyraqi philosophy acknowledges the esoteric nature of pluralism as the basis of ethical concepts (3) Tolerance is based on the awareness to decline every single fanaticism towards reality. Thus, because of the implications of the philosophical thinking above, religious moderation should cover all levels of society, both the believers and non-believers.
