CONTRIBUTION OF RELIGION TO SOCIAL RECONCILIATION

Abstract

The foundation of a safe society is laid by the social activities of individuals full of human virtues. Human activities can unite a society or cause its breakdown. A harmonious society is built on mutual respect, coexistence, support, and minimal conflict. Religion strongly influences the maintenance of individual human virtues and plays a crucial role in the development and well-being of a country and society, leading to social reconciliation. Religious teachings and the guidance of religious leaders shape human activities. Social reconciliation is essential to bring together people isolated by conflicts and oppressive situations, restoring society to normalcy. Religion contributes significantly to social, cultural, political, legal, and psychological aspects of building social reconciliation.
