Many studies have cited the massiveness of radical understanding among students in universities. Not only students from public universities, but also come from religious colleges such as UIN and IAIN. Therefore, this study aims; first, to analyze the hadith interpretation of Islamic moderates among students. Second, knowing the implementation of indications of religious moderates among students. Third, knowing the implications of the interpretation of Islamic moderates among students on the inversion-radicalization movement in Indonesia. All interview questions refer to the four pillars of indication of religious moderation initiated by the MORA, namely national commitment, tolerance, non-violence, and acceptance of local culture. This type of study is qualitative, and the approach chosen is hadith-phenomenological. The method used in this study consists of three main methods. First, the descriptive method; second, the critic-analysis method; third, the critic-analysis-reflective. The results of this study provide information that the interpretation of Islamic moderatism among students has a variety of languages interpreted by each student. As for interpreting the hadith, many of them still do not understand and understand the content of the hadith. Based on the questionnaire and interview data, none of the students were free from indications of radicalism. The implications of these findings provide clues to the importance of fostering and socializing ideologies and instilling attitudes of moderation among students.
