Recently, cases of violence due to religious intolerance occurred in areas in Indonesia, including the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Previous research data shows that intolerance has increased in the last five years in Yogyakarta. The problem of intolerance disturbs the nationhood and state. It should be handled as early as possible to prevent it from developing into radicalism, extremism, and terrorism. Such a condition raises the importance of Islamic communication as a basis for religious moderation to prevent intolerance. This study used a qualitative descriptive method based on interviews, observations, and documentation results. This study was conducted to see how the prevention of intolerance through the application of Islamic communication as a basis for developing religious moderation in the Office of the Ministry of Religion of Sleman Regency works. The research data shows that the nine principles of Islamic communication are optimized to maintain religious moderation.
