Abstract

Two leading Islamic organisations in Indonesia, Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) have moderation in their missionary vision to create a tolerant, open, and civilised society. This paper explores the challenges of realising Islamic moderation in Indonesia, especially those driven by Muhammadiyah and NU. The data used as the basis for the analysis were obtained from interviews and document studies. The challenge of Islamic moderation initiated by these two organisations is the rise of conservative groups, which have received vast space from the data obtained. This paper emphasised that the rise of conservative groups has resulted in weak respect for other groups. There is even a tendency to resist Islamic groups outside their group. This paper is limited to the internal challenges to Islamic moderation in Indonesia carried out by Muhammadiyah and NU, particularly related to the rise of conservative Islamic groups. Therefore, this paper suggests conducting various studies to provide a basic framework for jointly building a commitment to implement Islamic moderation in Indonesia by looking at other civil society organisations.

Abstract

Islamic moderation has become a strategic agenda in Indonesia, yet the threats that can slow its implementation are often left implicit. Two leading Islamic organisations, Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), place moderation at the core of their missionary vision to foster a tolerant, open, and civilised society. This paper examines the challenges of realising Islamic moderation in Indonesia, focusing on initiatives associated with Muhammadiyah and NU. Using a qualitative design, the study combines in-depth interviews with organisational figures from both Muhammadiyah and NU with document-based analysis of organisational narratives and relevant written sources. The interview and documentary materials are analysed interpretively to identify recurring patterns in how moderation is articulated and contested. The findings indicate that a major obstacle is the growing prominence of conservative groups, which increasingly gain wide space. This conservative turn is accompanied by weakening respect for other groups and a tendency to resist Islamic groups outside one’s own circle. By making explicit how the rise of conservative groups constrains moderation work within mainstream Islamic organisations and shapes social recognition dynamics, this study contributes an evidence-based explanation of why moderation efforts can stall even when moderation is embedded in organisational missions.
