This paper discusses the moderation attitude to counter radicalism in Indonesia. Why is this research
interesting to discuss? Fundamentalism is dammed by education and understanding of diversity.
Therefore, the author offers the thoughts and personality of Ibn Rushd. In historical records, Ibn
Rushd is a scholar having never attacked personally and accused his opponents of infidelity. The
moderation attitude showed by Ibn Rushd can be used as a model for character building for Muslims
today. In terms of methodology, this article is a library research. Furthermore, the writer digs up data
from Ibn Rushd’s books and uses a philosophical approach with content analysis or hermeneutics.
According to Ibn Rushd, a scholar must have several essential moderation personalities. There are
three parts: before, in, and after thinking. Before thinking, a scholar must have an open, honest,
curious, skeptical, courageous, and patient personality. Scholars’ personality in thinking is speculative,
willing to be guided by experience and reason, willing to accept, ready to face mistakes and dare to
make decisions. Furthermore, the personality, after thinking, is tolerant and forgiving. The study’s
significant contribution lies in its conceptual framework, offering a structured model of moderation that
can be applied to address contemporary challenges such as radicalism, exclusivism, and misuse of
knowledge.
