Description
Summary:<p>Islam in Indonesian and Malay world is very much heterogenuous. Taking <em>Islam Liberal</em>, <em>Islam Hadhari</em>, and <em>Islam Progresif </em>as the subject of analysis, this article deals with the concepts <em>Islam Liberal</em>, <em>Islam Hadhari</em>, and <em>Islam Progresif </em>as products of the trends in Islamic thinking, the impact of these three interpretations of Islam in Malaysia and Indonesia, the similarities and dissimilarities between the three, and their future prospects in the region. It argues that the prominence of the debates surrounding the three<em> </em>currents of Islamic thought is the result of struggles for power and authority in Islamic discourse in the region. It further argues that the Indonesian-based <em>Islam Liberal</em> differs from the Malaysian-based <em>Islam Hadhari</em> in that it does not originate from government sources. <em>Islam Progresif</em> is more of an umbrella term referring to various strands of thought developed by Muslims opposed to the status quo. Although <em>Islam Hadhari</em> is a newly-coined term, it contains many elements in common with other schools of Islamic thought including <em>Islam Liberal</em> and neo-modernist Islam.</p>
