Abstract

This study examines the Junta Islamica’s role in promoting moderate Islam in Spain amid scarce research on Islamic organizations’ impact on da’wah and interfaith harmony in Al-Andalus. Founded in 1989, the organization uses education, halal certification, legal advocacy, interfaith dialogue, social integration, and media outreach to spread a message of moderation based on Qur’anic principles, defending Muslim civil rights, promoting gender equality, and rejecting extremism. It acts as a key civil society actor linking Muslims and the Spanish state, aided by constitutional freedoms and the legacy of convivencia, but faces challenges from Islamophobia, xenophobia, extremist violence, and far-right populism, notably from the Vox Party. The study presents the Junta Islamica as a model of peaceful, contextualized Islamic preaching that integrates faith, democracy, and human rights, advancing coexistence and civic inclusion in secular Spain
