Abstract

This article focusses on the jargon of two mass organizations, Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) as mainstream Muslim representatives in Indonesia, it is "Islam Berkemajuan” (Progressive Islam) and "Islam Nusantara" how the da'wah strategy and efforts of Muhammadiyah and NU as the largest Islamic social movement even in the world is in presenting the values wasathiyah (moderate) in Indonesia, what is the characteristic, as well as how both respond in dealing with issues of nationality and fullness of dynamics. This research was written using theological and sociological approach, with literature study method and in-depth interview with related parties. The results showed that Muhammadiyah and NU with their respective religious understanding have been quite successful in presenting the face of Islamic moderatism in Indonesia, that the true face of Islam is a moderate Islam, a friendly Islam, and Islam that is rahmatan lil ‘alamin. In some ways indeed both are often the opposite. However, the flexibility of attitude and extent of the leaders' views of these two mass organizations can make people think smarter and clearer, and avoid violent acts that are very contradictory to the values of wasathiyah.
