Religious extremism is a serious problem and is hampering the realization of a Golden Indonesia in 2045. It was born because of errors in understanding religion, especially its holy books. In order to weaken its influence, countering the narrative of extremism from an interpretive perspective is urgent, and at the same time it is also necessary to strengthen Islamic moderation as an alternative narrative. Using the descriptive-analytical method, it was concluded: first, the form of narrative of extremism that is often used by hardline groups is about taghut, satan and the caliphate. Second, the counter narrative to extremism is to present a different narrative and reject extremist views about these terms from the perspective of Al-Qur'an interpretation.

In addition, women are also not allowed to be excessive in adornment. While from the findings regarding the aspects of maqāṣid al-syarī'ah and the fundamental values of the Qur'an, the author finds a prominent aspect which is hifdzu nafs, because in this verse it is explained that the two women protect themselves from being crowded with other herders by waiting for the herders to finish at the water source, there is also a value of equality that stands out because it shows the equal position between men and women in terms of work. If contextualized in this day and age, women are allowed to work to fill their spare time and develop their skills. The wisdom that can be learned is that women can utilize their time by doing useful work, and work to meet their needs as long as they pay attention to the conditions when working.
