The organization of Alkhairaat develops Islamic preaching through education, and participates directly into society. The islamic preaching of Alkhairaat is a continuity of the process that has occurred for decades ago. Today, Alkhairaat faces a dynamic reality; therefore, it makes the organization change, especially in terms of the management, content, targets, strategy, media, of Islamic preaching, in order to achieve its goal and become a source of reference for society. In addition, Alkhairaat should do regular evaluation to the practices that have been implemented so far. By regular evaluation, Akhairaat can see the strength, opportunities and threats.

Harmony is the common goal of both government and religious adherents in Palu which is plural in terms of ethnic group and religion. As it is commonly known that plurality is not only a symbol of strength in society but also a source of conflict. Based on this, this paper is to examine the effectiveness of policy on religious harmony in Palu by portraying the condition of religious harmony in society and analyzing the role of the Inter-Religious Harmony Forum (FKUB) in Palu. It is concluded that, first, harmony in Palu is achieved due to piety of religious adherents. Second, the role of the Inter-Religious Harmony Forum (FKUB) in Palu is still weak. This is caused by the fact that the program is not yet rightly implemented due to the lack of financial support and the organizers do not know exactly their role and task. Third, the Inter-Religious Harmony Forum (FKUB) in Palu do not properly perform its task in driving religious harmony in society.

Strengthening moderate Islam in the Archipelago is necessary today. Tug of war between religious radicalism and religious liberalism is one of the reasons that underlies this idea. In the middle of this feud, pesantren is expected to play an important role in strengthening religious ideas which are in accordance with the culture of Archipelago that is full of mercy. In this paper, I explore the role of Pesantren of As’adiyah Sengkang in building a moderate Islam in Bugis land. This paper shows that this pesantren has built and developed a moderate Islam in South Sulawesi through two ways; first, a pesantren network and Bugis Muslim scholars as graduates of As’adiyah pesantren, who have been scattered throughout Sulawesi island; second, religious doctrines of As’adiyah which are coloured with Ahlussunnah wal jama’ah either in faith, Islamic law, Islamic mysticism or method of preaching that promotes the principles of moderation (tawassuth), tolerance (tasamuh) and equilibrium (tawazun).
