The Santri Mengglobal Nusantara movement actively invites santri from across the world to learn about religious moderation and tolerance, encouraging them to "accept differences" and build networks across cultural and religious boundaries. According to the movement's founder, extremism emerges when religious learning lacks depth and context, leading to fanaticism. In contrast, pesantren's balanced approach to "texts, contexts and logic" enables santri to "avoid extremism thinking". The key to religious moderation, he argued, is building communication not only with Muslims but also with non-Muslim people.

This historical contribution is officially recognized through National Santri Day, celebrated every October 22.
