Abstract
This study aims to examine the epistemology ‘s narratives of the idea of religious moderation (wasatiyah) in arabian classsical literature. Written as a philosophical work, Ibn Tufayl’s (1110–1185 CE) Hayy ibn Yaqzan incorporates in its story many elements that could be regarded as elements of the civilization, the mysticism on Islamic epistemology. In this paper we will analyze these elements of the wasatiyah and try to reassemble them into a clear theory to arrange the building of religious moderation idea. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach, and categorizes into library research. Literary data collection techniques through the editing process (preparation of frameworks and procedures for implementation of the concept), organizing the data (coding sheet), data discovery, data analysis (content analysis) and interpretation (phenomenology). Conclusion of this study is point out the bridging effort and legacy from Ibnu Tufayl on the notions of moderation. Through this idea, we propose mechanisms to explain the legacy from Ibn Tufayl to re-confront the ‘moderation’, it is the uniqueness and originality for Islamic basis of epistemology.
