Purpose:The purpose and responsibility of religious education, of one's own religion and of other people's religious traditions. It focuses on Tafsir al-Mishbah and Al-Qur'an al-Karim wa Tafsiruh (Al-Qur'an and Tafsirnia) of M Quraish Shihab, both of which are relatively outstanding books on tafsir in Indonesia.   Method: This study mainly focuses on the verses related to the above topics using a thematic (mawdu) method and approach. The method applied in this study was the subjective method (mawdahui), but it was not intended to be a subjective interpretation (tafsir mawdudi). Al-Farmawī explained that the purpose of this method is to get answers to a specific question from the Qur'an, in this sense, the study of religion.   Results and Conclusions: The results indicate that: (1) According to the Qur'an, there are two concepts of religion: religion as the supreme and holy word of God and religion as society and culture: impure, relative and dynamic. (2) The study of religion in the Qur'an adheres to the theory of plurality or distinction. The main article is about al-Islam or al-Islam and Tawhid. According to the Qur'anic view, the study of religion is as much theological as it is scientific and socio-ethical.   Research implications: At the same time, however, they are expressions of the human experience of living in the system of human civilization, exposing God to His congregation, and understanding and implementing His teachings.   Originality/value: expert approaches are often inconsistent with the problems under discussion, and in some cases ignore behavior and value factors or downplay central religious factors.
