Abstrak: Tulisan ini hendak membongkar mitos Islam moderat Indonesia melalui pengamatan terhadap dua organisasi keagamaan yang selama ini dikenal sebagai “juara” Islam moderat yaitu Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) dan Muhammadiyah. Pertanyaan yang mengemuka adalah, pertama, apakah benar bahwa pandangan-pandangan keagamaan kedua organisasi ini moderat; kedua, apakah ada Islam moderat yang khas Indonesia, dan ketiga, bagaimana—setelah membongkar mitos—membangun sebuah cetak-biru Islam Indonesia yang aplikatif dan adaptif. Dalam tulisan ini ditemukan bahwa teologi moderat kedua organisasi ini tidak cukup lagi untuk mengakomodasi tantangan era modern. Sekalipun pencapaian kedua organisasi ini patut diapresiasi sebagai pelopor dalam merumuskan Islam moderat di Indonesia yang visible secara rinci, mereka perlu membangun argumen yang lebih mapan untuk visi moderat “dari dalam.”Abstract: Quo-vadis Moderate Islam Indonesia? Reconsidering the NU and Muhammadiyah Modernism. This paper tries to unravel the “myth” of Indonesia’s moderate Islam by analyzing two mainstream religious organizations which have long enjoyed their reputation as the champion of moderate Islam: Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah. The questions put forward are: first, whether the religious worldviews of the two organizations are moderate in nature; second, whether there is such thing as typically Indonesian moderate Islam; and third, how to construct a viable and workable blue-print of Indonesia’s moderate Islam. This paper reveals that the moderate theology of both organizations is no longer sufficient in accommodating the challenges of this modern era. Although the achievement of both organizations deserve appreciation as a pioneering attempt at making a more detailed but visible formulation of Islamic moderatism in Indonesia, they need to construct a more established argument for moderate vision “from within.”Kata Kunci: modernisme Islam, Nahdlatul Ulama, Muhammadiyah
