This systematic literature review examines the intersection of institutional communication strategies, state legal frameworks, and religious moderation policies within Islamic educational institutions. Utilizing the PRISMA guidelines, this study analyzed peer-reviewed literature published between 2021 and 2026 across major databases to understand how macro-level legislative directives are operationalized at micro-level educational practices. The findings reveal that legal directives do not automatically ensure uniform implementation; rather, policy alignment relies heavily on institutional communication strategies that translate state mandates into contextually resonant religious discourse. Effective operationalization manifests across a three-tiered communication matrix: administrative-structural governance, pedagogical-dialogic classroom interaction, and public-digital outreach. However, implementation encounters persistent barriers, including regulatory ambiguity, structural communication bottlenecks, and institutional resistance in autonomous boarding schools (pesantren). This study demonstrates that institutional communication serves as the critical operational bridge linking educational law with classroom practice. Consequently, policymakers and educational administrators must move beyond top-down administrative enforcement toward collaborative, capacity-building communication models that ground national moderation directives within authentic Islamic pedagogical values to foster sustainable social cohesion.
