This study highlights the concept of religious moderation as a strategic approach to mitigating conflicts that arise from differing religious viewpoints. The main objective of this research is to identify and explain the politeness strategies in language used by KH. Hasyim Muzadi (KHHM) in addressing national issues, using a socio-pragmatic approach. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method. The data analyzed consists of utterances containing language politeness strategies, with the data sources being speeches and statements made by KHHM that were uploaded to YouTube gontortv. Data collection was conducted by searching various social media platforms, online news sources, and related manuscripts. Once relevant materials were found, the researcher downloaded and watched KHHM's speech videos, then transcribed all utterances containing elements of politeness in language. After gathering the data, the researcher classified and validated the findings based on their relevance to the research questions. The results of the study show that: (1) the concept of religious moderation is effective in reducing the potential for religious conflict in Indonesia; (2) language politeness strategies are proven to be effective in addressing differing viewpoints, particularly between Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah, and in encouraging mutual respect among Muslims; (3) the implementation of these strategies is influenced by several factors, such as the interlocutor’s characteristics, the social situation, the topic of conversation, the purpose of communication, and its impact on social relations; and (4) KHHM’s application of language politeness has a positive impact in fostering humane communication and harmonious social relationships, allowing communities to live together in safety, peace, and harmony.
