Tolerance Towards Multiculturalism in the Diversity of Cultures and Traditions as a Form of Moderation in the Implementation of Muhammad's Prophetic Attitude

Abstract

This paper aims to explain that tolerance for cultural diversity and local traditions which are one of the sources of civilization for humans, must be maintained so that maintaining is part of moderation and implementation of the attitude that has been practiced by the prophet. Every community, of course, has local culture and traditions that differ from one another, from one region to another, so there is no need to be opposed. This research is qualitative research because it aims to describe systematically and factually a number of facts, phenomena and relationships between the phenomena studied. In addition, a qualitative approach is seen as appropriate to the theme of this research because the data presented is in the form of statements instead of using numbers. The data collection technique in this study used the library research method in the form of a documentation study. The results of this study state that to unite and bring together elements of the community with other elements, this can be done through a process of culture and traditions and customs that have become the habits of the community in an effort to appreciate and respect one another. And this was actually practiced by the prophet Muhammad, even though in some cultures and traditions of the community, the prophet corrected it later.
