Abstract

We do not dispute that the religious discourse has a great and dangerous impact - in its positive and negative aspects - in changing the hearts of its listeners, as it is the first means used by every messenger to invite his people to worship God alone. Nowadays the Islamic nation is plagued by the weakness of religious discourse which is directed to its people. Moreover, this discourse lost its trust among its supporters. Because some orators take the easiest way in delivering this discourse while others embrace the extremist, the result was that in our reality the religious discourse appeared to be insulted. In doing so, he thinks that it is better to use it, even though it is more harmful than its usefulness, because it is far from the moderate approach that God has accepted for the Islamic nation. This situation produces violence, extremism and terrorism which the nation suffers from today. The paper aims at demonstrating the role of Islam in mediating and moderation in its various fields in legislation, worship and transactions. It also aims to demonstrate the impact of religious discourse on achieving community development that benefit all segments of the society, Muslims and non-Muslim and to what extent they enjoy coexistence. The methodology of the study depends on the deductive approach, as well as the analytical method. Then I mention some of the models related to show the moderation of Islam and its moderation through legislation and the effects related to religious discourse in order to achieve community development of all kinds. Among the results of the study is that the Islamic religion, without any other religion, is characterized by a particularity that can only be found in it. It is mediation and moderation in its various legislations. The religious discourse in contemporary language is of utmost importance in changing the viewpoint of non-Muslims to Islam and its people. Extremism and terrorism, and the centrality of Islam and moderation led to the achievement of community development in all matters of daily life. The most important recommendations of the study are that we recommend researchers and those who are interested in the academic activity draw due attention to Islamic studies, which is characterized by mediation and moderation. We also recommend governments and institutions to hold such conferences and symposiums to exchange visions and thoughts. We invite the scholars of the Islamic nation to adopt the moderate approach of Islam and its moderation in all fields of life. At the same time they should avoid to harden, exaggerate and disturb people in their affairs, and to benefit from religious discourse in contemporary language.
