The word is taken from a root word originally meant: "the middle between two limits, or with justice, the middle or the standard or the usual". Moderation cannot be realised unless four main elements, namely honesty, openness, compassion and flexibility, are brought together. The implementation of Q.S al-Baqarah: 143 includes a teacher's task to be open and provide compassion in the learning process of Islamic religious education. Being open means respecting all students' opinions, not discriminating against students, being responsive and sympathetic, and showing a friendly and understanding nature.
